LOWERED TAX LEVIES.

The popular demand for lesseninp
the tax burden apparently is getting
results in Mississippi. The county SUI
provisional board adjusting their
levles for county purposes, and the
scattering reports thus far received
indicate that the county tax rates
are as a general thing undergoing re-
duction. Thus the new Harrison
County levy is said to range about
four mills under that of last year.
The jeff Davis County supervisors
erected a cut according to report of
BIZ mills. Washington County's
levy is lighter by 2 mills. Clay Coun-
ty has clipped off something, and
Y~alobusha likewise has moderated
the levy for county purposes. Two
exceptions are noted-Hinds County,
which increased its levy 3 mills to
r for sinking fund and interest
on a million dollar road bond issue,
and Coahoma which raised its levy
by a fraction of a mill. The returns
of course are far from complete, but
the trend is toward tax reduction.
The movement is directly respon-
sive, we take it, to the popular de-
mands. Months ago, Mississippi tax
payers in a number of counties be-
gan to agitate for lower county taxes.
Mass meetings were held here and
there owe the state, and taxpayers

The reason the newspaper grave

were at 100. In 1914, they had ad-
vanced to 178, and in 1921, the fig
ure was 1893. Newsprint from 100
jumped to lit in 1914, and to 623
in 1921. Newspaper postage, which
cost the normal of 100 in 1907, was
LAT in 1914, and 1877 in 1921. Ink

is stih cautious and is mainly to
cover immediate or nearby require

qquently, the manufacturing trades

to absorb the current output of New

WAR POSTPONED
SHORT DAY FOR
STEEL WORKERS
Industry Has Long Con-
sidered Reducing Hours
OF Labor.
PLAN, Is DISCUSSED
Strike Also Mentioned as De-
laying Change Sought
By Labor.
PLAN is DISCUSSED
By ARTHUR N. EVANS.

CHICAGO, Feb. Give are OF
the opinion that a l2-hour day Of
labor, followed continuously by any
group of men for any considerable
number of years, means a decreas-
ing of efficiency and lessening OF the
vigor and virility of such men. The
question should be considered from
a social as well as a physical point
Of view.
That steps should be taken now
that shall have for their purpose
and end a reasonable and just ar
rangement to all concerned, Of the
problems involved in this question
that of reducing the long hours OF
labor-we would respectfully recon-
mend to the intelligent and thought
full consideration of the proper Of
ficers of the corporation.
Excerpts from a report OF spe-
cial committee Of stockholders OF
the United States Steel Corporation
made April Is. 1912
Had it not been for the war. the
probability is that the iron and steer
industry in America would nave
gone from a two-shift to a three.
shift basis long before this. HAD
It not been for the steel strike. too
there are good grounds for the as
sumption that the United States
Steel Corporation would have es'
tablished the shorter working DAY
in its continuous process depart
ments some time last year.
At the time of the strike article,
were published. on Information
emanating from top officers, thai
the actual s-hour day was under
serious consideration. Present un-
employment, hence affords an un'
usual opportunity for installing q
system which the big steel men fol
years have recognized to come
| sooner or later in the development
of the industry.
Advocates Of the three-shift day
point out that il would come fast
| enough IL an understanding courc
be reached by all plants Failing
that, IL the steel corporation set rn'
pace. the rest would follow lis {
widely voiced theory. In 1919 th'
CORPORATION had lSs,550 employees il
! its manufacturing departments. a'
reported by the American Iron anC
| Steel Institute. 1t has about - pc
| cent of the total employees in tho
| industry.
Ten years ago, in April. 1911. IN

of the corporation adopted a resolu

Leather Conditions Irregular.

The irregularity of demand in the
hide and leather trades continues,
and the yielding of prices has been
further extended. While the furry
in domestic packer hides last week
resulted in larger sales than were
indicated when the buying started.
the business was at new low prices.
and other descriptions did not share
in the temporary activity. The
packer market is in a better statis-
ticsl position than recently, burt the
accumulations have not been wholly
disposed of, and both domestic
country and foreign hides are prac-
tically neglected. Improvement in
the leather situation is slow, and
tanners, except on infrequent occa-
sions, are not taking supplies of
raw material with any degree of
freedom. Most of the attention of
leather buyers centers on upper
stock for speciality purposes, and
many interests are now of the opin-
ion that the popularity of fancy
footwear for women will continue
beyond the Easter season.
