CITY POLITICAL POT
WILL BEGIN TO BOIL
WITH MEETING JAN. Is

Pursuant to a call of the Republican
state committee, the Republican city
campaign will be started on Saturday,
Jan. Is, when the city committee will
meet in the council chamber of the
city hall at 1870 p. m. to elect a chair
man, vice-chairman, secretary and
treasurer.
The city committee consists of three
Republican committeeman who live in
the municipal boundaries. The meet
ing is being called by Howard Brooks,
present city chairman.
Although the city primary is four
months distant. it is expected the po-
litical pot will begin to boil within
another month or directly following
the selection of city chairman. The
primary is to be held in May, and the
committee elected will have charge of
the primary and municipal campaign.
The primary is held the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in May, this
year being May 3.
Brooks to Step Out
Candidates for the city chairman
ship have not announced themselves
and the leaders refuse to divulge any
names. Mr.. Brooks states that he
will not accept the position this year.
Candidates for city offices probably
will announce themselves later this
year than previously. because of the
possibility of the Legislature changing
the primary laws. This may delay ac-
tive campaigning until after adjourn
ment of the Legislature in March.
AS women have been given the right
of suffrage, it is likely that some wo-
men will be candidates for office, Off
cials state. Thus far none is con-
nected with municipal affairs.

REMOVAL OF WAR TAX ON Elk.
PRESS SHIPMENTS WILL BENE.
FIT PIJRIIC nj

FIT PUBLIC
The public will save approximate
| iy $1,50O,0O0 a month as result of
the elimination of the War Tax on
express shipments, according to
George Taylor, President of the Am.
erican Railway Express Company.
An announcement to that effect
was made today by A. D. Lord the
local express agent.
The Revenue Act of 1921" elimin-
ates the War Tax of one cent on
every twenty cents and fractions
thereof in transportation charges on
all express shipments. This tax DUR
ing the year 1920 amounted to SIT
5O2,91S. The average transporta-
ton charges for each express ship
ment was approximately $1.5o and
the average War Tax for each Ship
ment was eight cents. The elimina-
ton of the tax, herefor, Mr.. Taylor
states will virtually amount to a
decrease in rates of a little over five
per cent. Mr.. Taylor believes that
this should have a tendency to sti-
mulate business and thereby acceler-
ate the rapidly improving conditions
throughout the entire country.
"The American Railway Express
Company handles approximately one
million shipments a day or nearly
four hundred million shipments a
year. Mr.. Taylor goes on to say,
"The elimination of the Tax will re-
| lieve the American Railway Express
Company of an enormous amount Of
labor which has been involved in cal
cuiation, entering on waybills and col
lections of tax, not to mention the
expense of checking and accounting
entailed.
The Treasury DEPARTMENT has re-
quested carriers to advise all clair
ments who have claims pending for
overcharges or who file such claims
after Dec. .31st, 1921 that claims for
refund of tax should be filed separat-
lily on Treasury Department Form
No. 46 with the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue within four years
from the time tax was paid, claim be-
ing barred by statute of limitations
Iif received after such time.
Mr.. Lord pointed out that as the
Revenue Act becomes effective JAM

SOME TIMELY PHILOSOPHY

"a COW, q SOW and some chickens on
every farm. Suggestion.
Work and raise something to eat
and eat what you raise, then you
will not need to worry oyer a lack
of money.
Make garden. and plant some-
thing in it each month.
Raise pigs and poultry. and sell
the eggs your family does not use.
Make this a MEAL AND MEAT
YEAR.
Plan to have your crib filled with
corn and your smokehouse filled
with meat the coming winter.
If you do not already have Them.
buy some good milk cows and sell
cream to the nearby creamery.
Let it be said that Monroe county
feeds itself, and that the flow of
money from this section to the
north for meat and bread has for
eyer stopped.
Let every farmer grow all the
feed and food he needs at home
and have some surplus to sell.
These suggestions were embodied
in an advertisement printed by a
banking institution in neigboring
newspaper. and The Weekly. while
endorsing every suggestion, does
not take the credit for anything
more than its form. of arrangement

on Saturday. March 19. at one
o'clock. They are working or
prices to be in a position to get fer.
tilizers at the very cheapest price
for the farmers. +"
This proves that an active farm
bureau working in harmony with a
competent farm agent, is of meal
culable worth to any county. The
Aberdeen Weekly believing this to
be true initiated a movement to
bring about the organization of a
farm bnreau for Monroe county,
and it is indeed gratifying to the
editor to note. that his efforts are
on the eve of producing results.
There can be no doubt of the
sincerity of Aberdeen's business
men in their proffer of cooperation
with the farmers of the county.
In fact they are anxious to give
all assistance within their ability
toward aiding the farmer in over
coming what now oppears to be the
most trying time of the country's
history since the civil war.

TAX COMMISSION AT LAST
CERTIFIES TAX VALUATIONS
Delay Has Caused Much Annoy
ance and Unnecessary Expense
to People Entire State

The state tax commission has al
last certified the assessments made
against telephone, railroad and 9TH
er public service corporations doing
business in the state of Mississippi.
The delay has occasioned fnan-
cial embarrassment not alone to
towns, cities and counties. but to
the state as well. Many civil divi-
sions have found it necessary to
borrow money and pay interest on
same in order to take care of their
obligations. pending receipt of tax
es due them from these corpora
tions, while the corporations were
allowed to use this money, without
interest. for several months after it
vas due and should have cen paid.
The people have bee At a loss
TO know why these Assessments
were not made earlier. and many
individuals claim to perceive in the
delay discrimination favoring the
corporations against the common
people in the matter of tax exaction.
The announced assessment of
railroads in Mississippi. according
to the Jackson correspondent of the
Commercial Appeal, for the year
1920 total $97, ,100.99 including
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad,
which is estimated, but not yet fl
nally fixed. The assessment of the
Cumberland Telephone Company
was fixed at $5.027 .304, which is
an increase over 1919 of 81 per
cent. This increase was based on
testimony given by the company in
the recent hearing, in which the
company asked far increased ex-
change rates.
To this must be added the follow
ing assessments. the amounts given
being the assessments for 1919, and
there will likely be an increase for
