DENOUNCE TAXES AS
CAUSE BANKRUPTCY
Monroe County Taxpayers
Form League to Oppose Taxes

ABERDEEN, Miss, Aug. g.
Declaring that Oppressive taxes i'm
posed by the Legislature and county
authorities" have forced Monroe
County taxpayers to the conclusion
that they must abandon their homes
or force tax oppressors to leave the
state, 500 citizens gathered at the
county courthouse yesterday and or
ganized tax league. Capt. George
G. Paine, an attorney, was selected
permanent chairman, and w. w.
Pickle as secretary. Tax reduction
and bankruptcy are the only alterna-
tives, the taxpayers declare.
Resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing the "tax cabel" and expressing
determination to force its members
either to leave the state or to desist
from OPPRESSION. The organization is
to be extended into each of the super
visor's districts, and members of the
league pledged their opposition to
candidates who refuse to obligate
themselves in writing to vote for tax
relief measures.
Among the measures suggested are
repeal of the county salary law for
county officers, reduction of appro-
priations made by the 1920 Legisla-
tive, judicial and other state officers
by at least one-third, and abolition of
all ornamental and useless offices"
Abolition of the tax commission or
restrictions to deprive it of its auto
cratic and despotic prerogative" is
demanded. Taxpayers of other coun-
ties are urged TO form similar LEAGUES
and to take similar action.

have had 461 sanitary toilets built.
We have visited 46 schools and exam
ined 2874 school children; finding
2274 children having marked defects,
which is $3.50 of the children ex-

We have held 81 clinics in which
937 people have been physically ex-
a1siaed, 80 have been operated on
for the removal of tonsils and ade-

corrected.
We have made 108 blood examina-

have given go people small pox vac
cine, 6 people Pasteur treatment
and 1920 doses of typhoid vaccine.
] herewith submit to you a reason
able money value placed on part of
work done.
Now, gentlemen, remember that
WIS beuSSb 10 iuauS py Lu6 1nCeFnd-
tional Health Board appropriating
$4,000, the State of Mississippi
$4,000 and Yalobusha County $4,000,
which totals $4,000. Out of this
sum the four workers must be paid,
telephone bills, stamps for letters
and mailing out treatments and pack
ages, express, stationary and other in
cidental expenses for the office, pre-
ventive medicine etc.
We have shown by actual figures
that the tax payers of Yalobusha
county have put $4,000 into this Unit
and have received in money value
$2,O275.78, not to say anything about
the prevention of sickness and death.
The Public Health Man can best be
compared to the railroad fiagman who
gives the signal to the oncoming en-
gineer with train loaded with pas
sengers and causes him to stop on ac-
count of bucked rail, bridge being
down or cow on the track, thereby
preventing injuries and possibly
deaths. There is no way to estimate
the number or value of lives that a
public health worker may save.
No country's wealth will rise above
the fertility of the soil, or happiness
each beyond the health of her citi-
zens,

POLO GROUNDS, Sept. 26.-Thirty-
two thousand fans were on hand to-
day to root for the Yankees in the last
OF the four game series with the In
dams which would give New York a
two game lead in the race for the
American League pennant.
All good seats in the grand stands
were filled by 2.30 o'clock.
The cheerfulness of the day did not
communicate itself to anxious fans,
who, even after the Yankees came out
for practice. sat lazily silent as il f'ar-
full of what the game would bring
forth.
If the Yankees lose o-day they
will still lead by two points.
Quinn started to pitch for the
Yankees but was replaced by Hoyt
in the first inning, when Cleveland
scored three runs.
Babe Ruth in this period got his
57th home run OF the season. No ons
