VARDAMAN REGRETS HE
BOUGHT u. s. BONDS
Damns Wilson and Federal Reserve
Act. Defends His Vote on The
Conscription Act.

Pittsboro, Miss, July 22.-Ex-
Senator James K. Vardaman was de-
tanned here yesterday on account of
rain while on his~way to a picnic at
Ellard, in this county, where he had
been invited to address the people.
He was asked to speak here instead
and addressed fair sized audience
in the courthouse. He taxed for
about one hour and 80 minutes and
his speech was received without
special demonstration on the part of
his hearers. He said that he had been
accused of leaving democracy in his
public life, but that he had been true
to its principles and to truth; that
h. had differed with President Will
son on several occasions, but that
Wilson had left democracy and not
Vardaman. He defended his vote on
the cOnscriptiOn act, asserting that if
he was wrong he would do the same
thing over, and later in his speech
he said that if elected to the Senate
next year he intended to introduce
a measure preventing the conscrip-
ton of the youth into the army. The
federal reserve banks act was desig-
mated by him as the worst piece of
legislation ever enacted. He discuss
ed this measure at length, and stated
in this connection that he could not
express his opinion of Woodrow Will
son on account of the ladies present
In discussing the heavy war debt and
the taxes that must be paid to retire
it, he said that he bought 4 per cent
government bonds with 6 per cent
money, but that he wished now he had
not done SO; he wished ncw that he
had stumped the state urging people
not to buy them, even if he had been
put in Jail, for if the bonds had not
been bought the government would
have had to c0nscript the money of
the country to bear the expenses of
the war even as they conscripted the
boys of the country to fight the bat
ties. He denounced the Cummings
railroad bill and said it was costing
the common people millions Of dol
lars. He stated that he helped to
raise the soldiers pay from SIS per
month to $30.50, and, with others,
proposed the 500 bonus for soldiers.
His closing remarks were a tribute
to the womanhood Of the south and
a lecture on citizenship in this re-
public.-Memphis Commercial Appeal

TAXES AND EXPENSES
OF THE GOVERNMENT
State Tax Commission Explains How
The Taxes Are Spent in Govern
mental Affairs.

Jackson, Miss, July %, 1921
The question of retrenchment in
governmental affairs and especially
in regard to the recent report that
the valuation of the realty and per-
sOnal taxes is being materially re-
duced throughout the state this year,
has brought the matter of financing
the government to the forefront. The.
general cry all over the land is for
expenses to be reduced and in re-
gard to governmental affairs, the cry
lis for the cutting off of all unneces-
sary expenses. Practically all the
departments get their lambasting for
being extravagant.
In order that the real facts in the.
case may be made clearer, the State
Tax Commission issued the followinS
statement yesterdays
The State Tax Commission has
today paid into the State Treasury
the sum of $6,552.77 of Inheritance
Taxes collected of Mrs. Idene r.
Henry, executrix of the estate of the
late John S. Robertson, of Columbus,
Miss.
Since the first day of January,
1920, and up to the first day of
July, 1921, the State Tax Commission
has paid into the State Treasury
$147, ,983.O3 of Inheritance taxes.
This more than pays all salaries and
expenses Of the State Tax Commits
sion, and salaries of the State Treas
urer's office, the Auditors office. the
Supreme Court, the Governors office,
and other departments too. Thus it
will be seen that the salaries of these
departments impose no tax on the
land and personal property through
out the state, but are taken care of
by special tax. The Secretary of
State collects annually enough fees
to pay for the cost of his department
six times over. The Department of
Commissioner of Agriculture more
than pays for itself. The Insurance
Commissioner collects enough fees
and privilege taxes from Insurance
companies TO pay the cost of most of
the state Offices and departments.
Thus, it will be seen that these are
Nine Mill tax rate, imposed by the
legislature of 1920, for 1920 and
1921. The total assessment of the
state for 1919 was $702 100000.
The state tax ON this at 9 mills for
one year would amount to S6,318,-
100000; for two years from the pock-
cts of the tax payers, $12,636,00O.
The question then naturally arises
What departments of the government
cost $12,636.OOO for 1920 and 1921?
The appropriations for the following
for the two years more than covers
the revenue from the 9 mill tax rate

BRITISH ETIQUETTE
 FAILS IN HUNGARY
Attempt to Abolish Old Fashioned
 Greeting Introduced

Budapest. June s.-sympathy for England has always been very strong in Hungary. but the last two years it has been approaching anglophobio. Attempts have been made lately to transplant to Hungary the conven- tionaIities of British society.
 X League for the Propagation of British Etiquette has been formed. which is trying to reform some modes of Hungarian intercourse.
 The League first concentrated it's efforts to abolish the customary shak- ing of hands and long conversation in- evitably following the casual meeting of two persons and to replace it by a simple How do you do?" With this object the members of the League are strolling tho whole day along the streets. yenrning for oppor- tunities to instruct tho public in the new way fo greeting and parting.
 When any unsuspecting friend. with the smiling anticipation of a conver- sation on his face, hears the anglo maniac. stretching out both his hands warmly. the member of the League stiffly bows his head, cries How do you do." and hurries away before the thunderstruck individual has time to recover.
 We have done our best for the i'm troduction of this good old English manner of greeting. but with little re- suit" stated Baron John Bornemizza, president of the League. somehow short greetings do not agree with our society. just met a friend and when passing him, said tho new How do you do.'
 Would you believe that that man stopped me. chung to my coat sleeve and with wet eyes expressed his grat- itudo for my interest in his personal welfare and entered into detailed description of his i'll health.
 At that moment. another member of our League approached. and un suspicious of any harm said his cheer full How do you do?' escaped, leav- ing tho Hungarian clinging to my col leagues sleeve. reciting the same tale from beginning to end.
 "No." concluded Baron BornemiZza. "my hopes are not very bright that the short manner of greeting will prove a success fin my country"

BOOZE WORTH MANY
 MILLIONS ON SALE
Will Be AuCtiOned Off by U. s.
 Government

New York, June 3.-Uncle Sam will soon hold the greatest auction of wet goods in the world. About S30,00O,- 900 worth of bonded liquor, confis- cated in New York since the Volstead act became effective will be placed under the hammer. If s5,000,000 is realized the government will be happy.
 But this auction will be a semi private affair. The man with thirst. regardless of the condition of his pocketbook, will not get an oppor- tunity to participate, except in the role of a mournful spectator on the sidelines. The only bidders will be persons duly licensed to deal in alco- hol or have it in their possession. Some of the liquor may be given away to hospitals if there are no bid ders.
 The principal reason for holding the auction is that the big warehouse where the liquor is now stored, is crowded to capacity. In this glori- fled bar room is stored every kind of intoxicant known in the dry era. There are something like 33,000 cases of rare old whisky. brandy, gin and wine; more of the same in 5000 bar rels, to say nothing of hundreds upon hundreds of demijehns. bottles and fiasks.
 Marshal (Big Tom) Mccarthy has been designated as auctioneer.

MILLIONS IN CHINA
 ARE NOW STARVING
C. P. Chung, Representative,
 Appeals to U. s. for Aid

covering an area of some 9OOO0 square miles. more than 45 million people in China are starving to death ana are witnessing a famine such as had never been seen before" said e
 F. Chung, student at the JJniyersity of Chicago, who is making a short trip around the state speaking on the conditions existing in China and the urgent relief needed. He addressed the members of the Chamber of Commerce at the rooms last evening when "get-together' social was en- Joyed. "Ch1na Is making every effort to stem this terrible calamity and are struggling for democracy. Great changes have come over the countrv and some of the troubles have result ed from these changes said MT. Chung. Educational necessities are fast being realized in China, said the speaker, and several hundred men are in this state attending colleges. The country has awakened to the useful ness of industry and there are great opportunities lying in this line be- tween China and the United States.
 l. T. Come, representative of the Connecticut Chinese fund, spoke briefly on the crops in China and the real cause for the famsne. '"The crops in China have failed for three seasons and as a result of this, more than five millions of people may die," said MT. Come. ''The people in some districts are Haw receiving but one meal a day apiecS9And should the crops fail again two million people will be left at the mercy of the world. There are great bonds of friendship between the Unit ed States and China and I am sure this country will aid in overcoming the famine" MT. Come appealed to the Chamber of Commerce for an en- dorsement for their campaign which was readily given. Ray Maxim, sec- retary, was instructed to indorse the campaign as several churches and so- cieties in the city had done.

WARRIOR OF
 SITTING BULL DIES
Chief Iron Lightning Was in
 Little Big Horn Battle

Pierre, S. D.. June 3.-In the recent death of Chief Iron Tightening. at his home near Thunder Butto in the northwestern part of the Cheyenne Indian reservation, the country lost probably the greatest of the few re- maining famous Indian characters who figured in the early history of Dakota territory.
 Iron Tightening was one of the sub chiefs. who under Sitting Bull, partic- ipated in the memorable battle of the Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876, when Custer and his band of 261 men were annihi!ated. He is said to be the last of the chiefs who were in control of the Sioux nation at that time. He was 76 years old at the time of his death and has for years made his home in the vicinity of Thunder Butts station.
 Unusually tall and we'll propor- toned, even for an Indian, and pos sessing a voice which commanded at tention and obedience although it knew no word of English. Iron Light ening was a. natural leader of men. In the early part of this century fol- lowing the Ute Indian uprising when the Utes had been rounded up and sent 70 the Cheyenne reservation, il was Iron Tightening who went among them urging them to forget their grievance with the whites and settle down to peaceful lives.
 He was the last Indian, so far as is known, to have continued to live with two wives after the order pro- hibiting polygamy and further polyg- anous marriages among the Indians was made. Iron Tightening was called to the Thunder Butte station when this order was received and told he must choose between the two women with whom he was living.
 "If the commissioner has lived with one woman,' the chief replied in Indian, The will know how inn possible it is for Iron Tightening to separate himself from two. Iron Tightening laughs"
 This speech won for him his case and the two wives were retained. They lived together in harmony, one do- ing the cooking for the family, which among the Indians is regarded as an honor, for one week when the other came into power for a like period.
