AUTO STEALING

\ INCLE SAM is ABOUT to take a hand in the nationwide movement
TO stop the stealing of automobiles, which has become one of
~ America most profitable industries

which provides a fine of 5000 and up 10 five years Imprisonment for

The value of automobiles stolen during the past year runs far

ORGANIZATIONS

Columbus probably has more organizations and clubs
than any other city Of its size in Mississippi.
Organization is fine thing in any community. 1t
brings the people closer ogether it promotes fellowship
fraternity among the people and the best of
promoting splendid community spirit.
Only receuty-in the past few months-has this idea
Of organization community in Most
of the clubs new institutions, organizing within the
past six months.
We attribute this get-togeher spirit mainly to the
influence the organization campaign of the Chamber Of
Commerce had the community 1t was a wonderful
campaign and Columbus will profit by for many years.
If for other accomplishment than the bringing about
Of finer spirit of cooperation and community interest
the money spent in the organization and maintenance Of
the Chamber of Commerce up this good day money
well invested and the existence Of the organization is
amp.g justified
Mover before has finer spirit of cooperation and
community interest prevailed among people, and let
Be said full justice that it is due mainly to the infu-
of the Chamber Of Commerce and the Chamber of
Commerce organization campaign.
Get behind the Chamber of Commerce and do your part
toward making s greater influence in civic and
commercial life and activity 1t is the duty of every loyal
and patriotic citizen to hitch up with the organization
for the sake Of fairness don't knock unless you abso
utely of your ground and know what you talking
about Constructive criticism is alright and the Chamber
Of Commerce and its officers and membership welcome
criticism in this spirit-the spirit of helpfuness.
1t is mighty hard to build up; it easy wreck and
tear down. Be a builder.

pool There would be fresh water at all times, and
concrete pool could be erected without great cost
II would mean great deal to Columbus. 1t would con-
tribute to the contenment Of people and afford pub
lie recreation facilities Of nature that the people would
be grateful for 1t would furnish wholesome sport for the
grown-ups well as for the young people
IL urban communities to survive in the future, and
and prosper they must provide for recreation
and diversion and health welfare and protection for their
people We believe the time is corning when this policy
win be imperative one
With all of natural water advantages, Columbus
should by all means have public swimming pool; fresh
artesian well should be flowing down the cutters of
our paved streets, washing away all refuse matter and
impurities AS it is millions of gallons Of fine water
going wase-water that other cities and communities
are paying dearly for.

A GOOD SUGGESTION

In the Views and Interviews Department of The Dis
patch this morning there is fine suggestion that should
be taken up by the Centennial Commission
The correspondent suggests that the Commission
pennans similar to the Chautauqua pennants now sus
pended the streets in the business section to be used
as decorative feature for Home Coming Week These
pennants should bear the word Welcome and should be
suspended at intervals Of fifty feet in each block
Then too, the expenditure would be of permanent value
The pennans could be used the occasion of conventions
and other gatherings decorative features
1t is splendid idea, and we believe the Centennial peo-
pie would do well to adopt it.
And, by the way, if any of you who reading this
editorial this morning have suggestions to make in con
nection with the Centennial and Home Coming send them
in either to the Commission to The Dispatch Sugges-
tons will be cordially welcomed

ROBERTSON SUES
C.. & C. FOR TAXES
Railroad Claims II Has No Money on
TO Pay the Claim.

Jackson, Miss, May 2.S-Suit has
been filed in Montgomery county by
Attorney General Frank Robertson
against the Columbus & Greenville
Railroad Company, a part of the
Southern Railway system, and for
merly known as the Southern Railway
Company in Mississippi, to recover
taxes due the State for the year 1920,
and also due to all counties, municipal
tiles, school districts, road districts,
etc. The railroad company has de-
faulted in the payment of these
taxes, it is charged.
The suit filed by Attorney General
Robertson is brought in the Chancery
Court, and raises some highly inter-
esting and novel questions of equity
Jurisprudence.
The railroad company appears to be
financially in bad shape, and has de
clared that it simply did not have the
funds to pay its taxes.
No receivcrship is asked, as the
taxes constitute a first lien and the
may be sold for taxes as any
other property in default may be sold.
The Columbus & Greenville Rail-
road Company. as it is now known,
crosses the State from east to west
from Columbus to Greenville, Miss.
According to the bill filed by .
Attorney General Robertson, its assess
ment on its entire line and property
in this State was fixed by the State
Tax Commission at S3,l69,57S. The
state tax levy was fixed at 9 mills.
The various county. municipal and
,ther taxing district levies are not
given in the bill.

the banquet given for the Seniors by
the Y. w. c. A. The social side Of the
Blue Triangle was turned full face to-
ward the girls of '21, and for two
whole hours joy and mirth and happi-
ness-just a bit subdued by a tiny
feeling of sadness-filled the Senior
Rows in the dining room.
Madame President Bartee became
MADAME Toastmistress,' playing the
role with all that graciousness and
charm which are Betty's invariable
characteristics.
Lena Byrd, who can always make
folks know how she feels, gave the
opening toast to the Seniors. The
Y. W. c. A. doesn't attempt to rival
the Little Sisters in the affections Of
their Big Sisters, but it does love
them, too, and it wishes for them an

be complete without a toast TO their
