Will the people stand to be taxed
out of existence?
That is the all absorbing question
confronting the citizens of Oxford just
at this time. It is apparent on the
face of the assessments that certain
individuals have been most heavily
and unjustly assessed while others
have been lightly touched" We are
speaking now from the point of va.u-
alton of certain property in the city

It is known fact that the present
board of City Commissioners and the

Fedora COURT
ADJOURNED TODAY

After a session of three days the
Federal court, Judge E. R. Holmes
of Yazoo City, presiding, adjourned
today.
The grand jury returned 32 indict-
ments, mostly for "wildcatting."
Quite number of illicit distilling
cases were continued until the next
term of court, which meets the first
Monday in June, next.
The small court room in the FEEDER
al Building was crowded every day
the court was in session, by not only
the Jurors, witnesses and friends and
relatives of the defendants, but by
many law students from the Universi
ty, who are to be the lawyers of to-
morrow, and who took advantage of
a good opportunity to learn the meth
cd of procedure of a United States
District Court.
The officers of the court were as
follows:
Hon. E. R. Holmes, Judge; Hon. w.
S. Hill, District Attorney; L. Rob-
erson, Assistant District Attorney;
Bruce Alexander, U. S. Marshal;
w. G. Thompson, Deputy U. S. Mar
shal; David Mcdowell, Clerk of
Court; T. r. Maxwell, Deputy Clerk;

634 MILLS IS THE TAX IN OXFORD
The Very Existence of Certain Interests Threatened
By Heavy and Unjust Assessments By City.

market, (not what the commissioners
think it shoul bring) and such assess
ments should prevail in all parts of
the city. But it seems that this rule
has been largely diverted form in the
assessment of certain property in
Oxford.
1t would not look so bad to raise
20 to 80 mills if the assessed valuat-
ion had been let alone. But there is
where the present commissioners pro-
pose to ursurp power, in saying who
shall exist and who shall be taxed out
of existence.
Citizens of Oxford, when you dele
gate all powers to three men to run a
little town like Oxford, you make a
serious mistake. We should have a
mayor and five aldermen to run this
town, and they should be selected from
the different localities, and placed on
a very low salary.
Who can hope to ever revive the
town by inducing enterprises of any
sort to come to Oxford when they
know that they will be taxed out of
existence? This may not have been
the intention of the Board, but the re-
suit will follow, just the same.
There may have been mistakes made
in assessing The valuation of property
in certain parts of Oxford. If such
is the case, the Board of Commission
ers should correct these mistakes,
cheerfully. This is no time to at
tempt to "rule by the iron hand" ("

Mr.. Bennett to see what he could do
for me. He promised to take the
matter up at once and just two weeks
later he called me in the office to show
me a letter from the Gen. Freight

have been only $6302. This one
transaction saved me $117.O2.

were slow to take the matter serious
ly until the said form of government
proved beyond all question of doubt
dismal failure. Then the people got
busy, called meetings, and, to some
extent, took over the management of

January, 1921.
But all this should not influence the

WHAT THE FARM BUREAU is.

h The Farm Bureau is an organiza-
ton of farmers and so per cent of its
membership must be actually engaged
in agriculture.
Purpose.
The purpose Of this organization
is to encourage and develop every
phase of farming, including both pro-
duction and marketing.
Capital Stock.
4 Every member will be charged
fee of $1,000 each. These fees will
compose and constitute the capital
stock with which the organization
will advertise and sell their surplus
products and with which : they will
buy heavy groceries farm imple-
ments and other things necessary
to carry on the business of agricul
ture.
How the Organization will be
Operated and Managed.
There will be five directors elected
by the members of the organization
one from each Beat in the county.
Thse directors will have complete
control of the business affairs of the
Farm Bureau. 1t shall be their duty
to employ a market man and such
other help as is needed, and to fix
their salaries. They shall put the
market man under sufficient bond
and require a complete record of all
business kept, and meet once a month
to examine the books and supervise
the work. The directors will be
elected annually and will be paid
for one day in each month.
Farmers, for many long years you
have complained that you did not get
fair price for the products watch
you sold, and were forced to pay too
much for those things which you had
to buy.
| Now, this is your opportunity to
/ sell your products yourself, and go
into the markets of the world and
buy what you need at a cost basis.
What are you going to do?
Have you been talking just to
hear your head roar? Growing and
complaining just to have something
to say, OF were you honest and sin
cere?
If you were sincere this is your
golden opportunity.
The $40 that you put into the or
ganization is put there not to be
spent but to use, and is all that you
