Government

Tor the first year of Government
operation Is the result.
ms dellclt Is plainly due to the
previous maladjusIment OF lack of adj
Justment between costs and rates.
Since 1906. until Mr.. McAdoo rails
ed them last summer, freight ana
passenger rates have been practically
unchanged and wages were advanced
but little, while the cost OF living has
steadily increased. A careful study
will show that, even including the ad-
vances established last summer,
freight and passenger rates are but
twelve and twenty per cent. higher,
respectively, than they were in 1896,
while the cost of living has risen
over two hundred per cent.
1t should not be necessary to adj
vance ratese in the same proportion
that wages were increased. Allow
ance should properly be made for the
greater operating efficiency that is
the result of scientific progress and
the reduction in overhead costs that
is possible with an increased density
of traffic, but the experience of the
last twelve months shows that the
public do not object to paying higher
rates when there is good reason for
them; and no clearer demOnstrand-
UNI ad hominem of their reasonable
ness can be furnished than the evil
dence of increased cost of living and
of labor
The editors of the Outlook, COM
menting on Mr.. Prices arguments,
conclude,
1t is perfectly clear that the wages
of employees must go up with the
cost of living. 1t is equally a mathe-
NAUTICAL deduction that railway rates
must go up also to meet this neces-
saryrise in wages or else the rail
ways will be bankrupt

POLITICAL THUNDER.

We are listening now for the big
fellows to raise a terrible howl just
on the eve of the primary, against
higher taxes. 1t comes in in line
with their schemes to thwart the
wishes of the people by bowling
high taxes"
Not only in Lafayette county, but
IN many other counties, this scheme
will be practiced. We trust that the
people will not allow themselves
hoodwinked by the very ones who
have been escaping their just pro-
portion of taxation. 1t is not fair
nor right for the man who owns 40
acres of land to be forced to pay
more per acre than the corporations
or big land owners This has been
the practice for years, and in Mexi-
co, it is practiced to the extent that
after one becomes in possession of so
many hundred acres of land he is ex-
empt from further taxation on land.
Do we want that sort of laws in
America? That is what you will
get if you play to the hands of the
big land owners and corporations
by allowing them to shun their tax
burdens.
1t is a matter of political thunder,
only, and it will be heard from many
parts of the State within the next
few days. We hope that the people
will understand the schemes contem-
plated by the calls for mass meetings,
ETC., under the guise of "discussing
high taxes" and will discourage any
such meetings. 1t is all political
thunder

noted the fact that Senator Varda&

bit later on Senator Vardaman edl
torially said as between Longino an&
Johnston he preferred Longino, any
also said the people of Mississippi
would not elect Johnston. Then sud-
denly very significant thing happen

man began to expose Longino's me

significant fact that if Longino should
go into the second primary with Lee
Russell, Vardaman would ride Lon

put Russell into the Governors of

Today there is a negro question in
Mississippi that will be easily in

when Governor, pardoned negro

RAILWAY WAGES
AND FREIGHT RATES.

Theodore Price, recently actuary o.
the United States Railroad Admins
tration, presents in the Outlook a.
expert study of railway rates and the
cost of living. He argues that tn,
large deficit in Government operation
OF the railroads is due to the fac1
that the rates charged for carrying
traffic are insufficient to meet the
nigh cost Of operation, especially tn,
high labor cost, and that an advanc,
IN rates is now imperative.
Mr. Price says,
AS we look back over the records
since 1896, we are driven to the con
cluslon that railoading is the only
business in the United States in
Which the charge for the service ZEN
dered or the article sold does not
bear some relation to the cost of pro-
duction.
In the case of transportation, tn,
cost of production Is in the last ana
lyslS the cost of the labor employed
for whether this cost of labor is re
Elected directly in the wages paid, o.
indirectly in the cost of material
(fuel, oil steel etc. purchased makes
little or no difference.
If coal costs more, it is because
the miners are better paid. If stee.
rails are higher, the advance reflect,
the higher wages paid for their fabri-
cation. If oil has increased in price,
the enhancement is due to the great
er cost of the human energy require
ed for its production; and so it is all
along the line The cost of provid-
ing transportation is almost entirely
made up of the cost of labor.
The advance in wages allowed, plus
the advance in the cost of supplies,
has, however, proved to be greater
than the increase in revenue, result
ing from the advance of rates, and a
deficit of approximately $200,000,00O

TAXES AND
THE PEOPLE,

If you want to hear the people
kick just mention high taxes. The
people, some of them, seem to be
ignorant of the fact that the support
of the government is derived from
taxation. The machinery of State,
Nation and Municipalities is operat-
ed by money received by direct and
| indirect taxation.
We have been hearing kicks on
high taxes for years, We cannot re-
member just how far back, but in
almost every case where kicks on
taxes come against high taxes they
come from the man who ia more
able to pay his share Of the support
of the government.
The Lafayette county board of SUI
pelvisors are getting little taste
of kicks this week. 1t is said that
one man who owns about 24OO acres
of land and forty some odd tenant
houses has filed a protest on assess
ments against his property, claiming
that it is assessed too high A mem
Der of the board stated this morning
that his place was worth anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 and that it
was assessed at about $4,000 still he
had filed an exception to the high
assessment.
That is one great trouble the
boards have to contend with, the as
sessments of the big land owners.
Corporations and big land owners
seem to think that the tax assessors
should make exceptions when it
comes to fixing the total of their
taxes The small land HOLDER, as a
rule, is willing to bear his just pro-
portion Of supporting the ~o,-e-ss
ment
That is why the State Tat tstns
mission was created-to asiuasiLe
taxation-see that the corporations
and big land holders pay N a3saal
ton to their holdings And Ea Isl
why the Delta fellows AMI big la-4
holders are fighting the Stats F4N
Commission. These fellows s1Isa the
howl and try to make the little sani
holder believe that he is being aesd
up and robbed, while the fact IL the
little fellows have been paying more
than their share of the taxes for
years. If the State Tax Commission
will levy and collect the taxes that
are justly due the State by the big
land owners and corporations the
little land owners taxes viii be just
about half what he has been pay
ing.
1t requires so much money to ssRr
the government, and that money Must
come from some source. II does not
matter whether your land is assess
ed at five dollars or ten dollars per
acre, just so the assessments are
equalized among every tax payer
If the assessments are high the levy
will be low, if the assessment is low,
necessarily the levy must be high
because it requires just so much
