Supreme Court Upholds Fire Insurance
Case Prosecution.
RAYMOND Gazette.

RAYMOND Gazette.
The supreme court on Monday
overrulled the suggestion of error
made by the fire insurance com
panies, and stood by the State Reve-
uue Agent, Stokes Robertson again.
We believe the supreme court has
sustained every ruling made by
Chancellor Stricken in the fire in
surance trust and combine cases.
With the courts ruling in his favor
right along. and the people as solid
as the Rock of Gibraltar in his favor,
she state revenue agent ought to
feel quite comfortable, as he doubt
less does.
The supreme court took its vaca-
ton until Oct. 10. with practically
clean docket.

People Can't Call Back Misspsnt Menies

Bay Springs News.
The people in many towns and
counties have been holding mass
meetings and making resolutions a
bout high taxes, but not much good
will come of this. Fhe money has
been spent in many instances, and
it takes high taxes to pay it. Many
are in tight for money. but con =
ditions are not nearly so bad here as
in some sections. We made good
corn crops, also cane, peas, potatoes
and other foods. The thing for us
to do is to get busy and quit think
ing so much about hard times. One
reason the scarcity OF money is hurt
ing so bad is because money has been
so plentiful for the past few years.
II we had been more economical
during these years like all are going
to have to do this, we would not so
keenly feel the scarcity now.

EDITORIAL
The Mississippi Supreme Cou

The Mississippi Supreme Cou
has adjourned Tor it's vacation. hav-
ing set Oct. 10 as the date for re-
converting. AS the adjournment or
der found them with what we are in
formed is "a practically clean dock
ct" when they start to work again
they should be able to reach the two
murder appeal cases from Greene
County on quick time. However,
such cases as that are of gravest con-
sideration as 1t involves the life OF
the appellant and requires the most
deliberate consideration that the
highest court OF the state can give.
Anyway it can be seen that it wi be
well into the tall if not winter before
such cases will be reached for their
decision.

Gov. Russell has very propely de-
clined to cal! the State Legislature
in special session for the sole pur-
pose of repeating existing antitrust
laws and enacting substitutes that
would permit a certain class of trust
bound fire insurance companies to
impose outrageously high rates of in
surance upon the people of Missi-
ssippi. The Governors denial,
which is very lengthy, covers all
features of the matter, and closes
with the information that there are
about forty law abiding companies
now writing all the insurance asked
in the State and that the out-lawsd
companies are not desired back until
they can find ii practical to do bust
ness in the State in accordance with
it's laws.

four nelghboring counties. Con-
tract for the first link was let last
week; the other contracts are DO be
let later and we hope it will not be
much later. The work was delayed
two wears, and wisely SC, we think,
but we see no necessity for futher
delay. We need the roads, fair
prices can be secured from road build
ers and money turned loose In the
county al this particular time will be
worth a great deal. We need the
roads, we need the money.

ished to oblivion by its own organ

got hold of it or initiated it and
went too far, perpetrating crimes

BALLFAILS TO GET.
RENT BILL HEARING
Anti-Beer Debate Presents
Consideration of Local
Measure.

Another fruitless effort was made
in the Senate yesterday by Senator
L. Heisler Ball. of Delaware, to OBJ
tain consideration for the amend
ment extending the life of the Dis
trict Rent Commission for seven
months from October % next, when
the law expires.
Senator Sterling, of South Dako-
ia, who is in charge of the antibeer
bill, objected to the bills considera-
ton on the ground that the liquor
measure was more important and
had been pending for some time.
Senator Ball, who is chairman of
the District Committee, declared
that unless action is taken soon 1t
might be impossible for the law to
become effective in time to prevent
destruction of the institution where
tenants and landlords settle their
controversies. He pointed to the
fact that the measure must pass the
House after it has been passed by
the Senate.
The Senator has stated that he
would avail himself of every oppor-
tunity to have it considered as
quickly as possible Thousands of
letters have been received by the
District Committee, both from ten
ants and landlords, indicating the
public interest in the question
of whether the rent commission
should be continued until May 22
next.
The Senate was asked by the
House yesterday to concur in res
olution providing 800 a month for
Capitol telephone operators OF
whom there are seven on the Senate
side and nine regulars and three
extra session operators on the
House side, and $3.50 for a chief
operator at the Capitol.

BANKERS FIGHTING
BLUE SKY MEASURE

Investment bankers from all over
the country have started a terrific
onslaught against the Denison bill
to stop interstate traffic in wild
cat" securities now being sold at
the rate of s50O.0OO, 900 a year in
contrayention of the blue sky laws
of thirty-nine States. Chairman
Winslow and other members of the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee Of the House, where the
bill is now pending. are receiving
stacks of kilograms protesting
against the bill. Most of these
kilograms have similarity OF
phraseology indicating that they
originated from one source.
Representative Edward Z. Deni-
son, of Illinois, author of bill, said
yesterday that the propaganda is
being conducted by the Investment
Bankers Association.
The president Of the association
served notice on me that he would
fight the bill every possible way"
said the Representative. 'Iknow
that what these bankers are trying
to do is to kill my bill and secure
the passage of a bill recently intro
duced by Representative VoIstead.
which would have the effect of
nuIlifying all of the States blue
sky laws now in existence"
