MOVE FOR 100000
HOSPITAL EDDORSED
w, NJ. hampton TO Donate $1O,-
600 if State Will Help Cause

Beauvoir, Miss, July 19-W.
NJ. hampton is going to help Su-
perintendent Elnathan Tart to
build 100000 hospital for the
benefit of the Confederate veterans
at the Jefferson Davis Soldiers
| Home.
Mr.. hampton was here Monday
for conference with Superintend-
ent Tartt with reference to the pro-
posal and was convinced that a
modern brick hospital was needed
at BeauviOr. He promised Super
intendent Tart to use his influence
with the Legislature and friends
over the state, and voluntarily
agreed to donate the sum of $1O,-
600 towards building the hospital
provided the state will appropriate
100000, or he will give 10 per
cent OF any appropriation the state
will make for the Beauvoir hospi-
tai.
1t is probable that the Mississip-
pi Centennial grounds will be sold
to the government. in which event
Sl25 900 will revert hack to the
state. Superintendent Tart is
hopeful of getting the legislature to
use this money on the Beauyoir
hospital.
The obstacle that has always
prevented permanent modern i'm
provements at the Jefferson DAVIS
Soldiers Home is the fact that the
title of the property does not rest
In the name of the state. The title
to the property is in the name of
the Sons of Veterans, however the
property was purchased by public
subscription to be used as a home
for INDECENT Confederate veterans.
Efforts are now being made to
get the Sons of Veterans to donate
and deed the property to the state.
This will nave to be done before
the state will agree to build the
new hospital.

Springs. Miss; DR.. w. G. Sykes, of

OF Interest to Everybody

Under the state constitution
those otherwise qualified to vote,
must register four months before
the election at which be. and now
she, may offer to vote.
There is no general election in
Mississippi this year. but next year
there is an election for United
States senator, congressman and
ten chancellors and seventeen cir
cult judges. This election takes
place the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1922.
In order for the men and women
who are not already registered to
vote they must, therefore, register
at least four months before that
date and qualify themselves by
paying all taxes due-real, person
al and poll-on or before Feb. l,
1922. Under the law county clerks,
who are registered, must next year
visit every voting precinct in their
respective counties. carrying with
them their poll books. in order that
the men and women of their conn
ties may register without the in
convenience of going to their eoun-
ty seats.
The law requires that due notice
of this tour of the county must be
published in a county newspaper.
This will make it easy not only for
the men but for the women to reg
lister without leaving their neigh
borhoods to go to the circuit clerk
office at the county seats. These |
rounds of registrars will be made |
in the 80 counties so that all who
desire may register four months be-
lore the November election.

The Tax Problem

On the front page of the Weekly
| is published an article by Judge E.
d. Dinkins on the tax problem.
| We publish it not because we agree
with him in every point set out,
but in order that our readers may
ponder everything tenable that he
has said.
All taxpayers hold opinions as
to the cause or causes of high
taxes and have their idea how they
might be abated. Some blame the
boards of supervisors, some the
legislature and others the executive
1t is useless. however, to criticise
the authorities who are Just a re-
f1ex of the vote of the people as
expressed in the elections. If gov
eminent comes high, high taxes
must be imposed. If the state
must have good roads, good bridges,
better schools and high salaried Of
ficials the people must pay for
them. and, if after authorizing them
in a vote for officials who advocated
them before the taxpayers find
they have overreached themselves,
the proper thing to do is to meet
and discuss these matters resolving
to vote only in the future for can
didates who commit themselves
before their election to retrench-
ments and reform.
The following from an exchange
elucidates what is wanted to be
said above:
The Board of Supervisors of
Adams county is threatening to
shut up shop due to the lack of
funds with which to conduct the
affairs of the county.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
nearly every county in the state,
Dearly every state IN the Union, Is
in the same shape as Adams coun-
ty, and the time has come to call
a halt
1t does no good to abuse the
Board of Supervisors, so far as this
state is concerned, for the people
themselves have called for the con-
ditions that have called for the out
lay.
The money is going into roads,
bridges. schools and the salaries of
the officials, and the Board of Su-
pervisors is not to be blamed for
meeting the necessary expense
bills.
If these conveniences are wanted
as they should be. they must be
paid for and we had as well face the
truth without elimination and re-

Governor Small and the Law.

The theory invoked for the pro-
lection of the governor of Illinois
from the Sangamon grand jury pro-
cess is that the king can do no wrong
and is therefore above the law. If
the governor is above the law that
Furnishes for the misuse of the pub
lies funds. he must be so as to any
other offense-m murder, for example;
yet it would be absurd to claim that
Mr.. Small is not answerable for
murder because he is governor of
Illinois. Equally untenable is the
claim that there will he chaos in
the state government if the governor
is arrested. The constitution of Hi
nois provides for the administration
of the state if for any reason the
governor is incapacitated from per
forming his administrative duties.
Aside from the legal side. what
about the head of the state, who is
sworn to support the constitution
and the laws, and to see that they
are impartially enforced, bowling to
the law, instead of fighting against
it? Seems that he would be COM
PEELED to be first in the state to set
a good example.-Mobile Register.
