WANTSCAS TAXETl|
WOMEN EXEMPT
Gov. Russell Preparing Message To
Legislature.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. Gov.
Russell is now engaged in making
notes for his forthcoming message to
the Legislature. The governor will
have several important recommended
tions to make to the lawmakers. He
is going to suggest a tax on gasoline,
the proceeds of which he thinks should
go into a road fund or highway fund
for extending and continuing highway
construction and improvement. He
also favors official inspection of coal
oil and gasoline, on the grounds that
such inspection in other states makes
Mississippi dumping ground for all
of the cheap grades of oil and gaso-
line. Another suggestion he will
make is for the exemption of women
voters from payment of poll taxes.
Under the constitution the poll tax is
imposed only on "male citizens" but
the last Legislature, anticipating the
adoption of the suffrage amendment.
enacted law imposing the same poll
tax upon women as is imposed on men
by the constitution. The reasons urged
for the exemption of women for this
tax are that among the poorer class
of citizens the imposition of the tax
would operate practically to disfran-
chise many poor women, and that
there is no need of exacting this tax
at present, when everything should
be done to encourage women to regis
ter and vote.
AS a matter of fact, the present poll
tax statute, taxing women, was advo-
Gated by the women suffrage leaders
themselves, upon the idea that women
did not ask for any srecial privileges
as voters, but wished to have the bal
lot upon the same terms as men. The
question is likely to bring on much
discussion because Of its important
bearing upon political conditions in
Mississippi.

BABY SWALLOWS
DIME, THEN
THE PENNY TAX

CINCINNATI, Oct. 30.-Edna Krip-
pendorf, 21-month-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Krippendorf, is a
thoroughly modern baby. That, at
any rate, seems to be the only expla-
nation of the fact that when she
stuffed dime into her mouth with
her chubby fingers today she con-
scientiously poked after it the ever
present war tax penny.
Mr.. Krippendorf summoned an am
bulance and took the screaming baby
to the General Hospital, where an K
ray examination revealed the coins in
her throat. These were removed and
Edna showed her knowledge of their
value by stopping her tears and
reaching for the silver and its satellite
cent.

PLAN TRADE WEEK.
West Point Merchants and Farmers
Will Boom Business.

West Point, Miss, Oct. 30.-Much
interest is being manifested here over
special trade week, which will be
put on by the West Point Chamber of
Commerce, beginning Nov. IA, and con-
tinue throughout the week.
There will be no street fairs or en-
tertainnents. This will be q strict
Ily business proposition. All merchants
of the. city will make special price
on all goods sold for cash, anad make
a special discount on all debts paid
during the week. The farmer will be
taken care of by the chamber by ham
ding for him absolutely free of cost
all things produced on the farm by
him of whatsoever nature. 1t is re-
quired of him that he list his prop
erty that he has for sale with the
Chamber of Commerce in time that
same may given the proper adver-
tising. 1t is expected that there will
be numbers of out-of-town buyers for
this occasion.
There is big surplus of live stock
in this county for sale, also food
stuffs of many kinds. All of this will
be handled if possible. One day dur
ing the week there will be big auc-
ton sale of live stock, milk cows, beef
cattle, horses and mules. The chamber
will give this sale thorough adver-
tising and hopes to make the month
" sales day one of the most popular
assets of the county.
It has been argued for long time
that if there could be one day set
aside in each month when the farm
ers and merchants and buyers could
all get together and trade and sell
such properties as they might possess,
that same would prove profitable. To
this end the Chamber Of Commerce
will exert all of its energies.

SENIOR CLASS
HALLOWEEN PARTY

The Senior Class of Oxford High
School and their guests enjoyed a
most unique Halloween Party at the
home of Miss Edith Kirkwood Satur-
day night. Upon our arrival we were
greeted by "spooky" person at the
front door who told us to Follow the
string" which led around the house
to an opening into the cellar. When
we had squeezed through this into the
cellar we were greeted by a grinning
Jack O'Lantern and real ghost.
Those who survived the sojourn in the
cellar were allowed to go out the door
and still "follow the string" which
then led US through dark halls, up and
down stairs, over furniture and final
ly into the dimly lighted reception
hall. Here we enjoyed ghost-chase,
cat hunt and other games and a con-
test in which Mr.. E. j. Beanland won
the prize. Delicious refreshments
were served, after which we still con-
'tinued our merry-making until we re-
luctantly realized that it was time to
leave the most enjoyable Halloween
party we had ever attended.
