GREAT BRiTAlN'S REPRESENTA-
 TON

Discussing the contention that Great Britain is represented in the covenant out of proportion with the United States, the President saId. They say that Great Britain, the British Empire, has six votes and we have only one. Well, it happens that our one is as big as the six. And that suits me entirely. Let me ex- plain what 1 mean.
 There is only one thing, and that is in the assembly, wherein the Brre- ish empire has six votes. That is not true in the council. And there is only one thing that the assembly votes on, in which it can decide a matter without the concurrence of all the states represented upon the

SOME GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

The President declared that while the United States formerly was looked upon as a selfish nation, that opinion has been absolutely Ire verSed." It now was America's priv ilge, he said, to lead the world 'un- less cynical counsels of some of our acquaintances prevail"
 Whether you will or not, our fortunes are tied In with the rest of the world and the choice that we will receive the influences of the rest of the world and be affected by them or dominate the influences of the world and lead"
 If Germany had ever dreamed when she conceived the great un- godly enterprise, that the United States would have come into the war she never would have dared to at tempt it."
 '"The men who do not look forward now are of no further service to the country.
 Every drop of blood l have in me gets up and shouts when I think o1 the oppurtunity that America has come of certain stock that raised Caine in the northern part of the isl and of Great Britain. Under the

DISCUSS ARTICLE X

Discussing the much talked of
 Article of the covenant of the league of nations, the President said:
 Those who objected to Article y object to entering the league with any responsibility whatever.
 They want to make it a matter of opinion merely and not matter of action. And they know just as well as l do that there is nothing in Article X that can oblige the congress of the United States to de- clare war, if it does not deem it wise to declare war. We engage, with the other nations of the world, to respect and preserve as against external aggressions, not as against internal revolution. the territorial in tegrity and the independence of oth- CT members of the league.

on all taxes collected after the 18th
day of December whether collected
by distress or other wise. But, in
constituting this section our court has
held that the tax collector shall not
be entitled to such compensation
even after the 18th day of December
unless a resort was made by him to
distress or some the other statutory
modes of enforcing payment of de-
!linuuent taxes. The tax collectors
of the various counties, however.
have uniformly elected not to do
those things necessary to collect the
ten percentum commission allowed
them, and the public has, therefore,
fallen into the general belief that If
taxes were paid by the first day of
February no penalty or commission
could be charged against them.
The first day of February is the last
day on which a person may pay his
taxes without being disqualified to
vote, and the public has lost sight
of the fact that it is their duty to
paw all taxes on or before the 18th
day of December.
The situation beginning January
5. 1920. will be entirely different for
the new salary law. being Chapter
1O2 Laws of 1916, will go into eff
feet on that date and Section of
this Act provides That's all fees and
commissions and other emoluments.
which the law now provides, may
be demanded, received and taken
by the sheriff and tax collector,
chancery clerk. circuit clerk and tax
assessor shall hereafter be collected
by each respectively, but all of said
commissions, fees and emoluments
shall hereafter be paid by said Off
GERS respectively into the county
treasury. Il is. therefore, the duty
of the incoming tax collector to coll
lect by distress or otherwise this ten
per centum commission from all
persons paying taxes after he goes
into office. and also against all per-
sons paying taxes after the 10Th
day of December thereafter.
There is no obligation in this new
salary law requiring you and the
other tax collectors. whose terms
expire on January 4. 1920, to col
lect this ten per centum commission
and | suggest that you do not begin
proceedings by distress or otherwise
to do so. but conform to the pre-
vious practice of tax collectors, at
the same time giving publicity to
the provisions of the new salary law
so that the public may not be re-
quired to pay ten per centum addi-
tional to their already high taxes.

Attorney General.

Tax payers should observe this
timely information and not allow
their taxes to become delinquent
and thus save to themselves ten
per cent. of that item of expense.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 30, 1919.
My Dear Friend-I am setting
out below an opinion constituting
one phase of the new salary law.
This opinion is of vital importance
to every tax payer of your county
and | am anxious that they know
exactly their status under the new
law so | respectfully suggest that
you give it due publicity. otherwise
a large number of taxpayers in your
county will be obliged to pay pen
alties besides their taxes if they fail
to pay their taxes before January 5,
1920.

Every Tax Payer Should Read Thi.

The following letter and opin-
ion from the Attorney General TO
Sheriff ID. G.. Taylor is very inn
portant TO the tax payers of Mon
roe comfy.
Every one of them should read
ii and learn that TO escape the
ten per cent. damage which will
be assessed against all unpaid
taxes after December 18th he
must pay his taxes on or before
that date.
Heretofore, under the commits
sion plan for the collection of
taxes, il was discretionary with
sheriffs whether they collect this
ten per cent. damage Or not
Universally the sheriffs have not
done SO, but when the salary
system goes into effect. January
5, 1920, they will be without dis
Cretion IN this matter. This
damage then becomes a state
fund and must be paid into the
state treasury and accounted for
by the sheriffs as all other state
