TO SUE FOR COTTON TAX.

JACKSON, Miss, March 13.--The
House Judiciary Committee today ia
vorably reported the bill framed by
Speaker Conner and Representative
Stone instructing the attorney gen.
eral to file proceedings against the
federal government to recover the cot
ton tax collected by the United States
in southern states following the Civil
War, ttotaling between $4,000, 900 and
$10,000,O00 in Mississippi.
The tax was collected but never ex-
pended, and is now in the United
States treasury, the supreme court
having held that it was an illegal tax :.
The records showing names Of parties
by whom the taxes were paid have
rotted and the plan of procedure pro-
posed in the Cornerstone bill is to
recover Mississippi's portion in the
name of the state and allow parties
who paid the tax or their descendants
two years in which to establish their
claims, the sum remsining after that
period to go to the state.

The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality,
It's 3037 miles in so hours is world
endurance record. The test was official.
Supervisors Of the A. A. A. certified the
Essex stock chassis in every detail.
Never before was car driven at top
speed for so hours. The grind was equal
to years Of road use. Yet tie Essex
showed no measurable wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight,
can even attain a mile-a-minute speed,
much less keep it up for so hours?

which Constantine asserts he was In
