The Jackson Daily News of Sunday, in. endorsing an edi
tOral in this paper of July Is, as to assessments and taxes
makes the following unanswerabie argument relative to these
two matters:
"Of course, the amount of taxes paid by members of the
commission has nothing to do with the merits of the case, save
the fact that the members of that body probably don't realize
the serious conditions now confronting taxpayers, because they
have very little property of their own.
But the Sentinel speaks a gospel truth in declaring that no.
body but a fool or an ignoramus will contend that property is
worth as much in 1921 as in 1919. The cold facts are against
any such belief, for there has been a depreciation of values all
along the line.
Mercantile stocks are entitled to lower assessment, because
of the general decline in all merchandise values.
Farm lands are likewise entitled to a reduction because
they have not yielded during the past year, and will not yield
this year, returns equalling those of 1919.
Many classes of improved city property have also suffered
a slump, the fictitious values placed on homes in Jackson, for
instance, following the close of the war, having vanished.
The State Tax Commission has the power, of course, to
force boards of supervisors to adopt any basis of valuation it
may see fit, but the hes. interests of the state demands that the
body refrain from doing so.
The boards of supervisors usually manage to spend all the
tax money they can lay hands on. In a majority of the counties,
If both the assessments and the levies were doubled, the super
visors would manage to get rid of it, somehow, and this is why
property-owners are insisting that it is time to call a halt.
I'm April of the current year the delinquent tax lists were
the largest that have been published for many years, and I'M
less relief of some sort is afforded by the taxing body during cur
rent year, many others are going to have their property sold
for taxes.
IF there ever was a time for rigid economy, that time is
now, and economy cannot be accomplished unless we call a
sudden halt on this taxation business"

w. T. CALDWELL.

I The remains Of Mr.. W. T. Caldwell,
who died in Greenwood Tuesday af-
ternOOn at five O'Clock, were laid to
rest in Odd Fellows cemetery in Gre
NADIA on Wednesday morning at ten
O'Clock after funeral services at the
Presbyterian church conducted by
DR.. Hutton, Pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Jackson, assisted
by DR.. Jos. Rennie, the Presbyterian
pastor at Greenwood. DIR. Hutton
paid a beautiful tribute to the de-
ceased who was for so many years a
member Of his church and who had
requested in a sketch of his life writ
ten by himself that DIR. Hutton con-
duct his funeral service. This sketch
was written by Mr.. Caldwell some
time before his death and it Showed
that he realized that he had not long
to live on this Earth and that he
would soon go to his reward. 1t was
handed to DR.. Hutton by little John
Caldwell, Jr., grandson of the de-
ceased, and was read during the ser
vice. A brief history Of Mr.. Cald-
wells life was given and in the out
line was a request that when he
passed away his remains be brought
to Grenada and laid to rest beside
those of his two little sons who had
gone on before.
Mr.. Caldwell was born in Tennes-
see and was ga years of age. The
latter years of his life had been spent
in Mississippi. He was formerly a
resident of Grenada where he was
Superintendent of the Presbyterian
Sunday School for ten years or more.
One Of his sons, William Caldwell,
married a Grenada girl, Miss Norma
Moore, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore Moore, who are now making
their home in Memphis.
During his entire life Mr.. Caldwell
had been actively identified with all
activities of his CHURCH. His people
were church people, his father being
a Presbyterian minister and his moth
er the daughter of a Presiding Elder.
He was a true Christian, a loving and
husband and a devoted
His friends were many and
numbers of them from out of town
attended his funeral services.
Mr.. Caldwell had been in poor
health for some time and had been
to retire from active business
on this account. He and his wife
had been making their home with her
sister, Mrs. Mamie Mcintyre and it
there that the end came. Be-
his wife, his son and his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Caldwell, of New
ork, were at his bedside when he |
passed away. Another son, William
Caldwell, had returned to his home
n jackson, and Charles Caldwell, an
'ther son, who lives in Greenwood,
vas in Memphis on a business trip.
Neither of these thought that their
'ather was seriously i'll and his death
as quite a shock to them. They

hat he was improving.

IMPORTANT MEETING AT CHARLESTON.

There will be held at Charleston next Tuesday, July rs, a
meeting of the Mississippi Duroc Breeders Association, and at
the same time there will be a sale of'brood sows at the cele-
brated Pine Crest Farm.
Ten or fifteen years ago, the mere suggestion of the posslbl-
lily of such an association or such a sale of fine hogs In Mlssls-
sippi, would have been hooted at. But the Pine Crest Farm has
been a reality for several years and there have been some sales
there that have attracted hog breeders from almost every part
of the United States. 1t is one of the many evidences OF the
rising start of a new day in the farm and economic life of Miss
issippi. These sales are attracting the attention of many for
ward looking men all over the land; they deserve encourage
ment. 1t has been demonstrated many times over, objects les
sons have been given in every part of the State, that just as fine
stock can be raised here as in the north west and at a cost be-
low what it will cost in the middle and north west. Hence the
avenue seems easy for our farmers to the place where they can
cut cotton acreage, diversity more and at the same time more
readily reach an economic independence.
1t would be well for those who are the least interested in
stock breeding to attend the meeting next Tuesday at Charles
ton. ;f. - ,| - ..

STRIKE OF PRINTERS
FAILING RAPIDLY

J W. Tucker, president of the
Mississippi Employing Printers AS
sociation. stated in an interview
Saturday afternoon that the ninth
week Of the strike of the book
b;nGers, pressmen and printers was
ushefed in by the book-binders first
going to work in nOn-uhion shops,
which was followed within 48 hours
by the pressmen also going to work
in non-union shops. Mr. Tucker said
In both cases the work hours are
AS. the same as before the strike. No
union rules are recognized whatso-
ever. Some of the shops are strictly
rOn-union, while some of them are
open shops employing either union
or c%on-uniOn help under the official
u ~.
In fact, the strike of the book
binders and pressmen has proved a
gigantic failure all over the United
Sta1es. The open shop movement in
the printing and allied trades has
gained So per cen in less than
ninety days. The typographical
union, although showing a number of
breaks in the ranks, is financially
much stronger than the other two
organizations and will probably
continue a very determined but losing
fight.
Public sentiment went on strike,
in that it would not stand for shorter
hours at the same pay, and in some
cases shorter hours at increased pay,
on a failing market, when production
and economy is the crying need.
Public sentiment won the strike
not the emplOyers-ard it is now
hoped that the public will stand by
the shops who have withstOod this
demand and continue to operate 48
hours, by patronizing only 48-hour
shops operating on the American
plan fothe open shop.
"a great number Of inexperienced
people have been gwen employment,
eouipping them, as it were, until they
are proficient, after which they will
be given permanent employment.
That al a great many more
workmen than before. This condition
has been forced by the unions.
"The entire effort has been the
most ill-advised move that could
have been proposed when the coun-
try was trying to find a way to set
tie to normal conditions. Today bet
ter wages can be paid by employers
on the open shop plan, regardless of
agreements to the contrary

EVEN FRED SULLENS PROTESTS.

Fred Sullens has never stood n the way of an appropriation
that any progressive spirit got behind. He has always stood fol
liberal appropriations. In our judgment he has often been too
liberal in considering such matters: But he says it is time to
call a halt now So when Fred begins to holler enough, it is
time for everybody else to sit up and take notice.
In a well written and forcefhl editorial of more than a week
ago, under the caption 1T Is Time To Trim, he discussed the
matter of taxes and makes the following timely observations
which will apply in every county in Mississippi:
If there was ever a time when economy should be practced
In public expenditures that time is now.
One OF the most serious handicaps to the resumption of
problem that must be solved before we can hope to get back
on a sound and permanent economic basis.
Especially is it of vital Importance that the matter be given
serious consideration in Mississippi at this time.
Boards OF supervisors are engaged in equaliZng assess
ment rolls, and will soon fix tax levy for the ensuing year.
eff these boards desire to serve the best interest of the peo-
stead of how much they can spend.
1T has always been the custom for the various departments
year, and it was for this reason that the state tax levy has
jumped from 52 to 9 mills in 1920.
"A nine mill levy is too high. Property-owners are stagger-
ing under the burden, and the legislature must find some Way
to reduce it at the 1922 session. Therefore, the state officer or
institution head who asks for more money in 1922 than was APP
proprlated for his department or institution in 1920 is going to
make a very serious mistake.
1T is time to start trimming. There will be howls of protest,
of course, and the operation may be painful to some, but it is an
absolute necessity"
Swat the fly, is a slogan worthy of practice at all times and
especially in these heated days when the system is so susceptible
to disease.
Have people forgotten how to economic? The onlOoker
passing through would say that they have or else scorn to
practice it.
Keep your heart right and try to be charitable and con-,
siderate with your feHowman, and you will win, though you may
be a loser in the race for dollars.
Calhoun County is felicitating much over the prospects Of
an A. l highway west to Grenada. Grenada is just as pleased,
further west, Grenada County will have the good road to send
then. along rejoicing.
