Lawn and Indoor Parties-Cel-
ebrations Especially for the
Children - Games, Refresh
ments and Decorations.

Fourth of July is the most enjoy
able when celebrated outdoors if the
weather will permit. If grown folks
are to be entertained, one could give
party on the porch or veranda, the
invitations being painted in water
colors, to which are added decora-
lions consisting of the American flag
and some tiny firecrackers. In the
center of the table have large paper
bell to represent the liberty bell. sur
mounted by gilt eagle. From the
mouth of the national bird have tri-
colored ribbons extending to tiny
toy cannons attached to place cards.
An entirely different centerpiece
may be used if preferred, composed
of cherries and leaves, with cherries
scattered over the tableclOth. With
lighted with red. white and blue can
dies. large. low wicker basket I'LL
ed with cherries and foliage makes
charming centerpiece. With this ar
rangement tiny wicker baskets should
be filled with cherries and looped with
scarlet ribbon. to which are attached
the name cards and placed at each
individual plate. The cards may be
decorated with cherries in water color
or the cherries may be cut out of red
crepe paper and appliqucd onto the
cards. Red geraniums. cornf1owers. and
field daisies make another charming
centerpiece that would blend with
any kind of patriotic decorations. The
veranda decorations may be either in
colonial colors of blue and gold or the
patriotic colors of red. white and
blue. White and blue liberty bells and
bunting would add TO the attractive
ness of the general decorations.
For a cherry luncheon serve radish
rosebuds, br0iled lamb outlets with
cherry sauce. new green peas. hot
rolls, potato chips, cherry jam. cher
ries en- mayonnaise, saltines, cherry
cup. sponge drops and candied
cherries.
A game called liberty bells" may
be played al veranda party. Hang
a large bell from the veranda or
porch ceiling with n red. white and
blue cord attached. Each guest in
turn must be blindfolded and turned
around several times, then requested
to ring the bell. He or she is only
allowed to take a given number of
steps. Those succeeding in ringing
the bell are given favors wrapped in
red, white and blue paper.

TAXATION.

The great problem of our political
life is the problem of taxation. 1t
has been since Caesars time and in
all ages the best minds have worked
upon this problem with the idea of
distributing the burden of taxes fair
ly. equitably so that it will fall upon
all alike. The perfect plan of tax
alton has never yet been worked out
and it never will 1t can only be
Appropriated and the nearer the ap-
Proclamation the better the plan or
system. But it is ever a question
which should engage the study of
the ablest minds, the best states
manship so that all people should
pay their share-their just share of
the taxes.
In application OF the taxing power
to our state few very glaring facts
stand out, which all admit and which
all desire to see adjusted. one Of
these especially in the past is the
inequality of taxing values in the
various sections of the State
Mississippi is rich and prices in land
values. and, under the old system of
lodging in the county commissioners
the final power OF assessing values
of land. monstrous system of un-
just taxation had been built mp. that
took no account of values or of
Justice but which was centered
around the selfish localized idea Of
paying as little as possible. All Of
our people know this The State
Tas Commission. which the legisla-
ture created, undertook TO remedy
this and it Is engaged in the task
now when IFS adjustment is made
Ml issue OF the present guberna-
tortal campaign.
Another fact which stood out un-
der tine old system was the ability
OF wealth to escape its just share of

PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS.


The Dispatch is sending out its
country edition by mail for s2.OO
a year where the subscription is paid
in advance. A whole lot of people
who had been taking the paper got
hurry when we adopted the rule of
two papers week for the price OF
one il it was paid in advance, but
they are coming back. All our list
now is bonafide and If you want to
get the paper you must keep your
subscription paid up.
Our system now is to notify a
subscriber that his subscription will
soon expire and if we do not receive
the renewal. we send him or her an
other notice when the paper runs
out and it is stopped. The new sys-
tenn is working fine. AS few got mad
and quit but others took their places
and all who are getting it now are
more pleased than ever Get on the
list and stay there. All the news
and better and bigger things are
coming.

the cost of government. Money is
powerful. whether organized in
banks or railroads, or industries or
In its private capacity. Money
commands the services of the ablest
men; it influences all of our polit-
zeal and economic life. Money has
been able to care for itself at all
times and under all circumstances.
Under the old system wealth escaped
its share of taxation and passed the
buck on to the little fellow, who is
always the goat of our political con-
ditions. But the State Tax Commits
sion has caused the wealth OF the
State to come across with a Larger
share of its just proportion OF the
taxes, and therefore you will find
the wealth of the State opposed to
its continuance and favoring its
adjustment.
Now don't get the idea that this
is an editorial in favor or against
any gubernatorial candidate. II
isn't. We are merely referring to the
past to guide us in the future and we
are laying down few general prin-
cfples to serve as a basis for the
consideration of this great question
at the present time
Are we in favor of continuing the
State Tax Commission? Certainly
we are until some one brings for
ward a better plan of equalizing the
vexacious problem of taxation. With
new conditions confronting the State
requiring larger revenue in all its
departments are adequate revenue.
based upon a system of taxation
which is as near just as possible is
necessity. The thought we want
to present is this: That there ought
to be some body or board or COM
mission at work all the time on this
one big problem with a view of Sc
curing all the states wealth and
taxing it all fairly, justly, equitably.
The present commission is our first
attempt; 1t ought to be improved
upon if no better plan is offered,
and it ought to be supported by all
the people. To abolish it without
the substitution of better plan
will be the colossal political and
economic blunder OF our time.
This is very little discussion of a
very big subject, but for the present
il will suffice
