The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-11-01

In earlier times the yarn of the
sailor home from sea was the med
ium through which many shore
going-folks visualizcd life on the
ocean blue. It was far more graphic
than a written narrative. In conse-
QuenCe Jack was always a hero when
he told the story of his voyage.
Today, while the sailors story
still has its charm. it has powerful
modern rivals in its appeal to the
minds and hearts Of the landsmar
back home.
Nowadays it is not necessary fol
sweetheart or wife to wait for Jacks
return to learn how his voyage is
going. The unseen waves of thC
radio bring news Of the distant shiE
from the sea in the t%Winkling of al
eve. Officials authorized to receive
such messages in war time know
from day 10 day just where the ship:
they are interested in are stearing
and how they fare.
Under war conditions the public
perforce. has lacked such informa
ton, but a foretaste of nor genera

on leave, in corresponding measure

with his tales of his voyages, IN spite
of this modern babbler of sea secrets
there are other respects in which his

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF
THE GENERAL PROPERTY TAN
IN MISSISSIPPI?
1. DEFICITS.
Deficits occur each year, and dur
ing the past twenty years these de-
fcits have become pronounced. The
deficit for the fiscal year ending De-
tober L, 1916. was 1851, 66S.00, and
for the fiscal year ending October /,
1917, was, Notwithstanding the fact
that there had been an equalization
of lands and personal rolls by the
state tax commission with an IN
crease of more than $4,000, 100000,
larger than the preceding year. The
situation is becoming worse each sue
ceeding year. The state tax commits
sion cannot. and did not solve the
problem.
2. INEQUALITY.
In 1888 the valuation of lands
was approximately twice the vaiua-
ton of personally, yet III 1917 the
valuation o. realty was approximate
~ four times the valuation OF per-
sonalty in Mississippi. MississippTs
wealth consists largely of intangible
property, and this property ought 70
bear its just proportion of the pub
lie debt. The land wne and the
money lender each should pay his
lust part OF The public tax. The in
equality just mentioned has obtained,
although in the past thirty years
banks have multiplied. corporations
have become numerous, and large IN
dustriaI and commercial enterprises
have been established.
3. EVASION AND TAX-DODGlNG.
Not only has the 2rossest inequali-
" resulted from the operation of
the general property tax. but whole
sale and universal evasion and tax
lodging have resulted. For instance,
in 1916, the total valuation Of sol
vent credits IN Mississippi was S.
800, while ten wears later. after
the personal assessment rolls IN 1916
