For Constable 8.
y T. MILLS

One of the things we notice about
this War in an aftermath way is the
disinclination to retain army titles.
Especially from Captains down. 1t
may be this is because the number of
officers necessary to an army OF three
million made such titles common,
and then besides the fact that in the
reorganization OF the regular army,
some who have even attained to rank
of colonel in the war army will slide
back to captains and lientenants,
which seems to have tendency to
detract from the value of titles; in
fact the people of America were in
the war only short time, and only
Ger tain per cent as actual fighters.
so its hard to get the bearing for
honors, by titles, so for the present
a great many OF the boys shed them
with their uniforms and prefer the
democratic calling OF their CHRISTIAN
Games e[srom,, DICK snd Harry, etc
with their return to civilian life.
This is study 10 americanism, for
heretofore much as the military has
been deprecated in peace times, that
has been one outstanding mark oil
its recognition; the way IN which
army titles stuck, over and above
and beyond all civil titles. For in
stance: 1t was Col Roosevelt afteI
he passed out of the Presidential
chair, and Maj. Vardaman after hs
had served out his term as Governor
and so on without end

PAINT AND -ILLlTERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Le-
caIities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington. D. Ca curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the bureau of In
dustrial Research here. 1t is that in
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
1t is true, though, that in the sections
Of all states where white illiteracy il
highest painted homes ire rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on their
buildings because they do not under.

EDITORIAL

The Herald advocated the estab-
lishment of State Board of Equal
cation for years. The Bilbo admin
istration gave US what's called the
State Tax Commission. 1t serves
the purpose desired under another
name. But it has not served 1T so
vel! so far but what there are stand
ing criticisms and room for misrep-
reservations which politicians are
taking advantage OF tor purposes OF
popularizing themselves. The evils
which cause such opposition to The
State Tax Commission should be
cured by supplemental legislation.
In other words the State Tax Board
is but 10 its infancy and yet on trial
Wait until at least one or two legis-
latures have met and sought to rem
edy the defects of the law creating,
by subsequent enactment, and then
see if there is not nearer a uniform
taxation over the state than has ev-
er previously prevailed.

The oorporasiOe Representatives d

The corpora6oe representatives as
rule are opposed to the State Tax
Commission for a good reason which
they do not divulge, however, to the
voter; their masters have to pay
more taxes from its powers to stru-
tinize and force them to taw. So
hear such fellows with due allowance
for their bias. Also remember that
the Delta has not enjoyed having to
raise its assess nent several millions
because such commission exists. No
other way was ever found to make
them pay their just share OF the
state government expenses. So
their politicians have grievance a.
gainst such commission, but its not
of kind that they will honestly
state as their talk runs in other di-
rections, but that's the real reason
all the same. so they too should be
heard with discriminating ear.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1919-06-06

No doubt the State Tax Commis-
sion has made some mistakes, but we
believe the criticisms have revealed
where they should amend their poll
cy and pointed the way for construc-
tive legislation to enable it to travel
on through subsequent years and do
much to equalize taxpaying the
state over. The argument that SUI
pervisors are the best judge is nc
real argument, as we have to pay a
state tax, and it's calculated on as
sessment values, and while the su-
pervisors have certain local jurisdic-
ton in cooperation with the county
assessors in fixing individual assess
ments, the general character of as
sessmeuts need to he guided by
state board, who by its policy eau
prevent the Delta counties from de-
pressing their assessments ano
bring them to level with other
counties. giving average honest val
nations.
