a great many reasons. The con
stitution required property to be
assessed at its true value. When
a person appeals from an assess
ment. he loses unless he car
show an over assessment. II j!
not sufficient that his property il
assessed higher than his neigh
bOr's property. but he must show
an over-valuation in order to win
his appeal. For the protection 0l
the taxpayers. it was therefore
necessary that the equalization
be upward. But the most imper-
alive reason was that some coun.
ties, which were assessed the
highest. could not stand a reduc.
ton and raise enough money to
run their counties. For these
and other reasons. it was neces.
sary that the equalization be up
wards and not dOWnWardS.
But no raise of any apprecia-
BILE extent was. or can, be made
in the valuation of personal prop
erty. For the year 1916. the in
crease ordered by the Commits
sion amounted only to S.. .48O. 1874.
in a total assessment of $429. 1885,
72O. And this is the year all the
lawsuits came about in. includ-
ing the famous WASHINGTON
COUNTY CASE, WHICH SET
tiled THE FACT THAT THE
COMMISSION WAS CONSTI-
TUTIONAL, AND HAD FULL
POWER TO ENFORCE ITS
ORDERS.
AS a sample of some of the val
uations which needed, and re-
ceiyed correction, we find that
some of the assessments by the
boads were as follows:
The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1919-07-25

The first four counties are in
the DELTA and boast of their
riches; and they have the finest
mules that money can buy. Ye,
they are assessed much lower
than the mules in the HILL
counties of the State.
The counties of Greene and
George are adjoining, and the
conditions. population. and
everything is almost identical in
the two counties. Yet mules in
George were assessed much
higher than in Greene. That
shows that Boards of Supervisors
cannot COOPERATE even
where they are within a few
miles of each other.
All these inequalities were
eliminated by the Commission,
by bringing up the under-valua-
tions, and decreasing the higher
counties. For instance, the value
of mules in Tishomingo county
was REDUCED from $lO3.97 to
$3.50. The mules in Washing
ton county were INCREASED
to $9l.21; in Bolivar to $500; in
Leflore to 1886; and 50 on down
the line. DELTA MULES are
now assessed at more than $l2O
each.
And what is true of the item of
MULES is also true of nearly
all other personal property
For instance, hogs were valued
at an average of 81 cents in the
lowest county to $5.28 in the
highest. Sheep and goats aver
aged from 50 cents ia the lowest
county to $l6 in the highest.
And then in 1917 both land and
personal property was increased.
The same inequality that marked
the condition of the personal
rolls was in the land rolls. Be-
low are a few examples:
Cultivated

THE DELTA LESS THAN 80
PER CENT, and the public ser
vice corporations were increased
a little more than 80 per cent.
The public CORPORATIONS
would have been increased more,
but for the fact that they were as
sessed by the RAILROAD COM
MISSION and data for the in
crease was not available at the
time. and in 1918 the Federal
Government had them in opera
tiOn and would not permit any
increases in assessments.
When the big increase was
made in 1917, the Constitutions
ality of the law had been settled.
and every county obeyed the in
structions of the Tax Commits
sion. upon every point.
The Legislature of 1917 re-
duced the levy to four mills on
the dollar and at this figure the
amount of taxes collected was
practically the same as collected
in 1915 and 1916 at six mills.
But the counties from which it
was collected varied widely. IN
SIXTY-FIVE COUNTIES
THERE WAS A DECREASE
IN THE AMOUNT OF STATE
TAXES PAID. In sixteen there
was an increase, and of these
ELEVEN were in the DELTA,
and two of the other five had in
creases only upon the timber as
sessments which was paid BY the
big syndicates.
In the seven principal Delta
counties alone, an increase in
taxes was made of approximate
ly two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars. Since the sum
total was no greater than in 1915.
a corresponding decrease was
made in the taxes paid by the
hill counties.
Then, when the Legislature
convened in 1918. the opposition
to the Tax Commission got busy.
The first move was to introduce
a straight bill for its repeal. This
was voted down overwhelming
ly.
The next move was to make it
unpopular, and it was proposed
to restore the levy to six mills
and thus force the people of the
State to pay more than fifty per
cent. more taxes than they had
paid in 1915. The Governor We
toed the bill, and the wrangle
lasted for a week or more, end
ing finally in the passage over
the Governor veto OF q tax levy
of 5 IL mills.
The amount 0frevenue needed
to be raised by taxation varied as
the number of statesmen figur-
ing on il. Each had q different
amount. Some honestly thought
that 5 or 6 mills was needed, in
view Of the heavy appropriations
Of the Legislature Of 1918. which
exceeded by more than q million
dollars the appropriations made
at the 1916 session.
Time had demonstrated that
the Governor was right, and that
q iour mill levy would have been

MUM wherever offered. and yet
il was assessed at only $9.85 per
acre for cultivated land which
would readily sell for from $500
to $500 an acre.
Compare that with lands in the
piney woods county of Lamar as
sessed at $l5.l2 or in Perry at
$l3.l2. or in Stone $2i 40 and you
will have some idea of the task
that confronted the Tax Com
mission.
1t was apparent that it would
be necessary to largely increase
the assessment of the Delta coun-
ties, and some of the counties in
the prairie section of the State.
And it was also apparent that if
the full increase which condi-
tions justified was applied. that at
the existing rate of six mills. too
much taxes would be collected
for the State. After consultation
with the Governor he agreed to
call a special session of the Leg
islature to reduce the tax levy.
and the increases were then or
dered.
The total increase carried the
total assessment of the State from
$42O.7l5,826 in 1915 to $637 ,52O.-
313-an increase of approximate
ly fifty per cent.
LANDS IN THE DELTA
WERE INCREASED OVER
142 PER CENT. OUTSIDE OF
THE DELTA LESS THAN 80
PER CENT, and the public ser
vice corporations were increased
a little more than 80 per cent.
The public CORPORATIONS
