DIVIDE PROPERTY INTO CLASS
ES FOR THE PURPOSE OF TAXA
TION."
The Legislature at present 10 power
less to effect relief, though 1t may
realize that different classes of prop
erty must be recognized in taxation
in order to afford any substantial re-
lief to our present system.
1t is just as logical to say that the
tariff shall be the same, on every kind
of property, or that the same privilege
tax shall be imposed on each trade or
profession, as it is to contend that all
kinds of property shall be assessed on
the same basis of value.
1t is to be carefully noted that the
amendment, as submitted. does not of
itself make any change in taxation sy-
stem of Mississippi, BUT 1T SIMPLY
MAKES 1T POSSIBLE FOR FU-
TURE LEGISLATURES TO MEET
THE DEMANDS OF THE ENTIRE
ST TIE FOR A MODERN AND
MORE EQUITABLE FISCAL SYS-
TEM-which demand has existed for
so many years.
1t is but fair to state that the Fis1
cal Committee regards the ratification
of this amendment as the most inn
portant step which can bs-A-as-n q
make possible remedy of the pres
ent situation. This Committee labor
ed for two years, without compensa
tion, and submitted this amendment
as the most important results of it,
labor. 1t is the earnest hope of thi
committee that its efforts, and thu
action of the Legislature, will be sp
proved by a large vote in favor d
ratification Of the amendment.

Statement IndOrsing 1t In
Highest Terms.

Perhaps the strongest testi-
monial ever given a medicine is
that OF the Peoples Hospital of
New York City, indorsing in un-
qualified terms the new dis
covery, Hogen, which is creating
such widespread interest thru
out this section.
Hospitals, as rule, do not
recommend any preparation, but
after exhaustive tests and care
full experiments, the Peoples
Hospital found Irogen to be so
successful in building up broken
down systems and making
strong, sturdy men and beauti-
full, healthy women from physi-
cal and nervous wrecks, that
they voluntarily indorsed this
wonderful discovery in the high
est terms. Their letter follows: j:
PEOPLES HOSPITAL.

Irogen Chemical Company,
New York City, n. Y.
Gentlemen:
We have used Irogen in the
convalescence of all acute medi-
cal and surgical cases, in debili-
tated, nervous conditions, in
muscular exhaustion, and par
ticularly in anaemias due to the
stress and strain of industrial
activities.
In all the above conditions
Irogen has done splendid work in
improving the general condi-
tion of patients. The micro
scopic tests, both before and
after taking Irogen, show a rich
improvement in the number cells
and in the richness and coloring
matter of the blood.

The work continued as long as the
epidemic ragged, the total number serv-

All Red Cross Chapters hereafter
are to discontinue distributing knit

articles have been made from ma

Tis is a ruling from National head
quarters OF the RED Cross, and the
explanation given is because of the
limitations in the supply of yarn.
The drafted men, however, will get
his knitted articles through the
regular Military Relief department of
the Red Cross.
Here is Washington's official an
nouncement on the subject:
'The yarn We have on hand, if
properly conserved and made up in

worry about whether they can knit

them. to do. But. they'll be asked to

CLASSIFIED PROPERTY TAX
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
To be Submitted for Ratification at
Election November 5th.

The Legislature at its 1916 session
realizing that the taxation system of
Mississippi was inequitable in its eff
feet, and inadequate to meet modern
conditions, appointed vacation COM
mittee from the House and Senate,
with instructions to investigate the
conditions in Mississippi and other
States, and to report to the Legisla-
ture at the 1918 session.
Thls committee worked faithfully
for two years and submitted report
to the Legislature recommending the
passage of certain statutes. and the
adoption of an amendment to Section
112 of the Constitution.
This amendment as prepared by the
Fiscal Committee, was adopteI by
both branches of the Legislature,
practically without opposition, and
Twill be submitted for ratification at the
general election on the 9th day of
November and read as follows:
"Amend Section 112 of the Constitu-
tion of the State of Mississippi so that
it will read as follows:
| SECTION 112. The power of taxa
tion shall never be surrendered, sus.
pended, or contracted away. All taxes
shall be uniform upon the same class
of property within the territorial
limits of the authority levying the tax
and shall be levied and collected fol
public purposes only, but property
shall never be assessed for taxes foi
more than its true value The Legis-
lature shall have power to divide
property into classes for the purpose
of taxation. The Legislature may inn
pose per capita tax upon such do
mestic animals as from their nature
and habits are destructive of prop
erty. All exemptions shall be by gen.
eral law. The Legislature may pro-
vide for a special mode of assessment
for railroads, and for other public SER
vice corporations, or other corporate
property, or for particular species of
property belonging to persons corpo-
ratlons or associations"
1t is not the purpose of this state
ment to enter into an extended arpu-
ment for the ratification of this tax
amendment-the Fiscal Committee in
Its report set out in detail the many
reasons for its adoption. 1t is proper
however, to state that the amendment
is approved by the National Tax Asso.

Assistant superintendent.
1t will be noted that the
Peoples Hospital made a very
thorough test of Irogen before
putting their stamp of approval
upon it. They did not, as their
letter states, experiment with
light cases, but took the most
severe surgical and medical
cases-that is the most stubborn
ones in their institution. They
found that Irogen gave just
what was needed by these weak
ened, rundown, suffering people.
In every case they tell us, the pa
tients showed marked improve
ment. Their blood became rich,
red and healthy, their general
condition grew better, and as a
result their whole systems began
to mend in satisfactory man.
ner.
Such a statement from such
an authority is, indeed, convinc-
ing, and the people of this Sec
tion are rapidly realizing the
merits of Irogen, as evidenced
by the overwhelming demand
for it. Those in a position to
know are predicting that Irogen
will soon become a household
word in every home in the coun-
try.
Warning is given however,
that owing to its well-known
fiesh-building powers, anyone
who, for any reason, does not
desire to add flesh. is advised not
to take Irogen.
