TAX COMMISSION
CENTER Of FIGHT
Mississippi Politicians Are
Strong in Denunciation
Of BilhO's Measure,

JACKSON, Miss, April g. (Spl,l-'
The state GaA commission In rapidly
becoming the principal issue In MisSis-
sippfs political campaign this year, not
only In the Guhernatorial fight. but in
the contest for legislative offices @s
we'll.
The commission has been Q target
for much criticism, some Of it exceed
lngly bitter, ever since the body was
created, and a determined fight will
be waged at the next legislative ses-
sion to wipe 1t out of existence and
give the county boards of supervisors
tinal power in fixing assessments, as
In former years.
The basis OF the fight against the
state tax commission Is rather clearly
set forth in a statement from Gen.
Calvin r. Vance, former commander
Of the Mississippi division, United Con-
federate Veterans, who enjoyed the dis
t%inction Of, being the only soldier OF
the ConfederaCy who served in the
upper branch Of the legislature at the
last session.
THE present system OF assessment
and taxation" says Cen. Vance, was
Gov. Bilbo's measure. While It may
have given relief in the COW counties
of South Mississippi when Bilbo was
running for congress last year, 1t gave
the devil to the people of North Mis-
sissippi. 1t has increased the burden
of taxation on our people and is a
sham and a fraud
Gen. Vance is voicing a charge that
was freely made In the congressional
campaign in the Sixth district last
year, to the effect that Gov. BiIbo
had so manipulated the state tax COM
mission as to tighten taxes in the dis
trict whore he hoped to be elected
to congress, and increased the burden
of taxation In other sections of the
state.
Lieut., Oscar Johnston, the soldier
candidate for governor, is waging a
vigorous fight against the state tax
commission, declaring that, If elected,
he will ask the legislature to abolish
the body. Gov. Russell is equal
ly vigorous in defense Of the work OF
the commission. and these two candi-
dates will thresh the subject in a spir-
tied manner in their joint debate at
Okolona on Monday.
A goodly number Of Legislative can
didates, heretofore affiliated with the
administration, or who voted for the
creation Of the state tax commission,
In their formal announcements to the
voters say that they favor the exist
ence of the body, but believe that the
statutes under which it Is operating
need radical revision and amendment.
