NEED FOR WATER POWER

1t is not difficult to impress the people with the importance
OF the development of water power by private capital Under the
supervision and regulation OF the state and federal government
at a time when coal shortage threatens the continued operation
of even the essential industries.
The necessity for legislation OF this character is apparent to
everyone familiar with conditions in localities where hydro
electric current furnishes the motive power,
The difficulty is in maintaining the interest OF the people on
this subject when conditions are normal and the supply of coal
is plentiful.
During two winters the shortage OF coal has seriously in
terfcrcd with the operation Of normal business. There is no guar
antee that the same condition will not continue to arise from
year to year and grow worse as time goes by.
This is a good time to agitate the question OF developing
water power in the navigablc streams. Year after year millions
OF horse power 60 to waste while the available coal supply grows
smaller, and the differences between the coal miner and the coal
operator become more pronounced.
As an economic necessity under any condition the develop
ment OF the water power on navgablc streams is a pressing ncces-
shy. 1t is apparent that the price OF coal will not be less than it
is now. and there is no telling how much higher it will be.
A law providing for the DEVELOPMENT OF water power under
proper safeguards would have a GOOD effect in bringing the miners
and operators to a realization that they have entirely eliminated
the public from consideration in the strife between themselves

BILBO TO Be BATTERED
BY PARDON PETITIONS

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 6. (Spl.)-As
Governor Bilbo's term nears an end
the executive office is being deluged
with appeals for clemency, and when
the present state board of pardons holds
it's final session on the first Monday
in January fully 300 petitions will be
pending for consideration.
As Governor Bilbo does not go out
of office until the middle of January,
he will have one more opportunity to
give approval to the work of the state
board of pardons, and it remains to be
seen whether he will show the same
leniency that has been manifested by
his predecessors who, for the past 20
years, have issued pardons in whole
sale lots just before retiring from Of
flee.
1t is not vet known whether Gov
ernor-elect Russell will make any
changes in the personnel of the state
board of pardons, but it Is safe to as
sumo that he will do 80, as he has a
large number OF friends who are eager
to share in the honors as well as the
spoils OF office.
The %pardoning board was created
upon the personal request Of Gov. Bilbo,
who frankly stated that he desired a
body to which he could pass the
buck" on this function of the office;
that he did not care to sit around jack
son listening to appeals for clemency,
and since the board has been function
Ing he has had plenty of leisure time
for TRAVELLING about over the country.

MISSISSIPPI TAX BODY
MAKES SUGGESTIONS

JACKSON. Miss, Dec. 6. (Spl.)-The
biennial report of the Mississippi tax
commission to the legislature contains
a number of suggestions for changes
and revisions in existing statutes cover
ing the work of the body.
Members Of the commission realize
that a stiff fight will be made at the
January session to vote the body ouu
Of existence. and are preparing to fight
for their official lives. They frankly
state that the present laws governing
revenue and assessment are, In some
respects, defective, and the recon-
mendations in their biennial report cover
way and meal of strengthening these
statutes.
Just how strong will be the fight
Waged against the commission is now
a subject of much discussion. A goodly
number of members of both houses are
pledged to their constituents to sup
port any bill that may be introduced
to abolish the body. However, it is
not believed that a majority in either
house will be in this frame of, mind.
The general opinion is hat the plan OF
operation will be very radically changed,
but the commission will be continued in
existence.
One amendment proposed is that the
commissioners shall he elected by the
people, instead of appointed, and this
suggestion seems to be meeting with
much favor.

MISTRIAL FOR
JOE HANOVER
Subornation Cases Against
Lawyer and Renegar Go
over Till May.

A mistrial was entered upon the
docket of the federal court Friday after
noon in the cases of Joe Hanover and
Charles B. Renegar. indicted on charges
Of s"ubornation of perjury. This action
was taken by Judge John h. Mccall
after the jury had reported that it was
hopelessly divided. The case goes owe
until the May term Of court,
The indictment and trial Of Hanover
and Renegar is a development of the
arrest and conviction of Renegar for
violation OF the wartime prohibition
law. Renegar was arrested on Nov.
9 after the officer had witnessed the
sale OF a pint of liquor by Renegar to
Hundley May. Hanover was attorney for
Renegar at the preliminary hearing.
The federal grand jury returned IN
Indictment against Renegar for viola
tion of the wartime prohibition law
and another indictment against Hundley
May for perjury. 1t developed that May
had testified before the grand jury that
he had not purchased whisky. A few
days later indictments were returned
against Hanover and Renegar for sub
ornation of perjury.
For the government May testified that
he had visited Renegar's place several
times between Nov. 9 and the time he
was indicted, that he had visited Joe
Hanover's office and had talked to Han
over on the street. He swore that
Hanover had told him that If the grand
Jury got the facts in the case he, would
be indicted along with Renegar. Nor
gan May, brother of the witness, swore
that he accompanied his brother to the
office of Hanover and heard someone
in the office say they will get you
both"
For the defense Renegar denied that
he had said or done anything that could
be taken to Indicate that he endeavored
to influence the witness one way or the
other, Hanover fatty contradicted May
by testifying that May had not visited
his office. A number of character wit
nesses were called to testify to the
good character of Hanover.
