Governor After Tax Dodgers.

AS the legislative session draws to
a close, Governor Bilbo bombards the
lawmakers almost daily with a spe-
cial message, usually referring to
some recommendation made in hts BIZ

the session,
The latest gubernatorial appeal has
reference to a recommendation that
a provision be inserted in the evenu
laws giving right of appeal to the
state where property has been undcr'
valued on the assessment rolls.
The governor believes that the

property values is concerned, and he
believes that if this clause is inserted
in the revenue laws it will have a
salutary effect in preventing tax
lodging.

AN EXPLANATIONS.

merchants for the delivery of
groceries.
While the majority of the peo-
pie realize the Food Administra-
ton are making many changes in
prices and the controlling OIL
foodstuffs, and the manner OIL
delivery, etc, and are gladly fall
ing in line to help the cause of
winning the war, still there are a
few who do not just understand
the situation. Therefore this ex-
PLANTATION.
In the first place, the Food Adj
ADMINISTRATION fixes a price on Ger
tain foods, which the grocer is
required to sell the same for, plus
any expense that might be neces-
sary for the delivery of same. So
in order to do this they would
have to have two prices on diff
ferent articles, one for cash over
the counter and the other for the
delivered articles. So the mer-
chants have decided to make one
price and let those who wish
goods delivered pay for it, and
those who wish to carry them,
profit by so doing.
We believe it will be money
saving to ALL For example, all
stores who are to charge for this
delivery service will sell the
Cream of the Valley war flour for
$500 instead of $500 per sack,
and several other articles accord
ingly Therefore. The housewife
who will bunch her orders (Which
she will soon learn to do) will not
lose, but will gain by this change.
Some say to go ahead at the high
err prices and deliver free, but
This does not accomplish what
the Food Administration desires,
which is, first, to cut down all
unnecessary labor that the men
may he used for more needed
service i'm This time of war: and
second, that those who wish to
Iprofit by carrying their own
goods may do so. Therefore, as
there will be practically no extra
expense To the consumer over
what his goods previously cost
him (altFough possibly Il little
more inconvenient until we learn
to give larger orders and less
| frequenIl VIC believe every pa
t triotic citizen should fall i'm line
/, and help carry out the wishes of
| the Food Administration. as the
merchants are not profiting by
} these changes. In fact some OF
4 them are wondering right now
g whether they will he able to carry
4 on their business another year or
. not.
i Some think there is only to be
$ one delivery day. This is a mis-
$ take, as there will be four deliv-
G cries as usual, although the Food
4 Administration is working this
s out and notice from them to GU
$ the service to two or possibly on,
a delivery a day is expected at an,
time. The merchants are simpl,
