ond District.

The Weekly presents the name OF
Mr.. ID. r. Franklin in its announce
ment column. who authorizes it to
say to the voters that he is a candi-
date for constable in the second
supervisors district.
Mr.. Franklin has been a citizen
of that district for 10 or more years.
and his interests are identified with
the interests of the people among
whom he lives. He is qualified to
fill the office efficiently and with
credit to the district.
If the voters should select him as
their next constable. he would ap-
preciate the trust and would make
them a good officer.

The People Want the Medicine

The People Want the Medicine.
The theory of the system of the
taxing board in vogue in Missis-
sippi is all right as a theory, but
in practical operation il has not
met the ends of justice in every
The aim of the system is to
equaliZe assessments as between
counties of the state. but the ma
chinery created 10 do this, in the
opinion of competent observers,
has fallen considerably short of
the undertaking. 1t is argued
that discrepancies in the valu-
atoms of real estate and other
classes of property occur as be-
teen the civil units, and there ap-
pears TO be no way to smooth
these inequalities out.
Then again, when the adjust
ments have been made as among
the counties, the equaliZing of
the assessments of property own
erS of the same county have been
WO1uIly lneXaCt.
The things mentioned above
have been too generally apparent
to require specific instances to IL
luStrate them, and call for some
heroic Improvement in the tax
ing laws of the state. These laws
must be perfected SO as to give
each citizen, however lowly or
insignificant, justice and a fair
tote. The idea of assessing all
taxable property at a 100 per
cent. value can hurt no taxpayer,
but when one citizens property
is valued at all it is worth and
another citizens property is
valued at less than il is worth,
whether through incompetency,
transformation or willful dis
elimination OF the taxing power.
an injustice has been done the
taxpayer that no loophole IN the
taxing laws ought to permit. In
the Weekly's opinion, no legiSla-
ton that should engage the atten-
ton of Mississippi's next assem-
bly, is of more vital concern to
the people of the state than the
perfecting of our taxing laws.
A state taxing board composed
of three members. vested with
arbitrary powers, it would seem,
however competent its personnel
might be, would be inadequate
from the standpoint of informa-
ton. to appraise valuations in
every section of the state.
Again, when the rolls have
been approved by the state board
as to any particular county, there
ought to be restrictions that
would compel boards of supervi-
sOrs to value each citizens prop
erry SO that ii would harmonic
in comparative value to all other
values in the county. .
The operation of the taxing
law as il has affected the cOun
lies and the individual property
owners of the same county has
not been salutary because of its
defects in placing the burden of
lakes equitably upon the coun-
hes and also upon citizens of the
same county according to the
value of their property.

the plaintiffs car. 1t is for the jury
to find what the fact is, whether as
the plaintiff claims, or as the de-
PENDANT claims, and if as the plain
tiff claims, what the damages are.
The Court defined negligence as a
shortage of legal duty that causes in
jury. Negligence consists in the fail
ue to observe that degree of care
which the law requires for the pro-
lection of the interests likely to be
injuriously affected by the want of it.
"The burden of making out the
case rests with the plaintiff who must
show by a fair balance of the evil
dence that the negligence occurred as
he alleged, and that he was without
negligence on his part.
"The driver of an automobile shall
upon approaching sharp curve or
turn have his automobile under per-
feet control. No automobile shall be
run on public way laid out under
the authority of the statute in a
careless or negligent manner. If a
person runs an automobile at rate
of speed exceeding Is miles an hour
outside Of city or incorporated vii
lage 81 it shall be prima
facie evidence that the automobile
was run carelessly or negligently
Tho Court then told the jury that if
they found that the Silsby car was
operated in excess Of 25 miles an
hour, as it approached the place
where the accident occurred, and
that such rate of speed contributed
in the least degree to the accident,
then the plaintiff could not recover
unless they found that prudent man
in the circumstances would have
driven the car at such speed, in eX-
cess of 25 miles an hour.
"If you find that the failure of the
driver of the Packard automobile to
exercise the care that a prudent man
would exercise in like circumstances,
contributed in the least degree to the
happening of the accident, your vcr-
dict must be for the defendant"
The Court said the jury must de-
telmine just where the accident oc-
Cured, what was the speed of the
cars, what was done in the way OF
sounding signals, and finally "did the

On the evidence that the defend
ant did not go back after the acct
dent the Court told the jury it was
for them to determine what import
ance was to be attached to this fact,
whether it was an admission of LA
bility on the part of the defendant
or whether it was to save her aged
parents from the excitement if they
had witnessed the accident.

BIG DERRICK BEING ERECTED

Superintendent Dunagan, of the
Beaver Oil & Gas Company, is
mighty busy man this week. The
contractor and rig builders arrived
at the site Of their oil we'll Tues
day morning, being carried down
there by President Craig, and
already the frame of the structure
is well up in the air, and it is
thought the rig will be ready for
operation the first of next week.
When the writer was out there
last Sunday, he found tons of limb
ers, lumber and machinery already
in the ground, but Mr.. Dunagan in
formed us that while practically
everything essential for the compile
ton of the rig was on hand, the en-
gines were still in transit, and would
have to be freighted out to the site.
A comfortable cottage and shack
for the use of the drillers was near
ing completion at that time, and Mr..
and Mrs. Dunagan are expecting
to move out there shortly.
Quite a number of sight seers
were out there last Sunday, not
withstandng the bad weather, and
now that the derrick is being put
in place, they will be more num-
erous. Interest in this project is
increasing daily, and Guymon is
already standing on her toes.-Guy-
mon Herald.
