Former Mississippi Governor

JACKSON, Miss. Feb. 3. (Spll LEX
Gov. e. +. Noel, state senator from
Holmes county, introduced his first
measure for the elimination OF alleged
useless offices at Wednesdays session,
proposing an amendment to the constl.
tuition for the consolidation OF the Of
fices of chanCery clerk and circuit clerk

county assessor.
In the state campaign last summer
eX-Gov. Noel made his canvass on a
platform advocating the curtailment Of
state offices and departments Of state
government, and quite a number Of
measures with this end in view have
been introduced In both bodies but thus

PICK CLARKSDALE
MAN FOR YAZOO
LEVEE BOARD

JACKSON. Miss, Feb. 5. (Spl )--Ac-
cording to rumor current at the capitol
building. Gov. Russella choice for the
presidency OF the Yazoo- Mississippi
board Of levee commissioners, one. of
the most luscious political plums with
in his gifta Is Hon. L. c. Franklin. of
Clarksdale, FORMER state senator from
Coahoma county.
Mr.. Franklin has made several trips
to the capital since Gov. Russell was
inaugurated, and has held frequent
conferences at the executive office.
Political rumoI further has 1t that
Mr. Franklin intends to hold the leVee
board presidency only year or SO. aft
err which he will move to South Missis
sippi ostensibly TO engage in the prac-
tice of law, but in reality to establish
citizenship in that section before run
ming for governor In 1923.
It has been frequently stated, and
not publicly denied, that Mr.. Franklin
is the choice of the Vardaman- Russell
faction for the governorship, and that
all of the influence of the present ad
ministration will be eXerted in his be
half regardless of who may be entrants
in the race three years hence. n
These political reports are being
viewed with much satisfaction by a
very large and aggressive element Of
delta members in the house who will
support the Stillers bill seeking to make
members of the levee boards elective
by the people. 1t is expected that the
Siers measure will be up for consld-
Grafton within the next 10 days.

TAXES DISCUSSED
Those Opposed to Sales Tax Declare It is Worse Than Excess Profits or Other.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Develop- ment of a tax revision program in congress although proceeding slowly has disclosed in the house a growing trend in favor including some sort of a sales tax in the next revenue legis- lation. The statement yesterday of Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee in support of a sales tax it was said today had given impetus to the proposal.
 While most members of the ways and means committee say that they retain an open mind on the subject their private expressions show senu- ment in the comSnittee even now to be slightly in favor of a consumption tax.
 Committee members who are out and out against the sales tax declared it to be worse than the excess profits tax, charging that it will allow all lines of trade to renew profiteering.
