commonwealth affected with this
virus, might issue Bonds and to make
the task easy, the Bonds are nom
taxable, and SO we have exempted
Bonds from taxation in Mississippi.
With Money and Bonds exempt,
that leaves us the land and the Fords
with which to pay the Bills and the
Tax Assessor will find these. Add to
the Bonds for School Houses, these
issued for drainage and Road dis
tricts, those for State Highways and
other State purposes, all Of which
we voted in with great joy, and you
will note how much property is
escaping taxation in the State and
County and who really pays the
Bills.
When note Farmer making ar
engagements to look after the Farmers
interests in Legislative councils,
am reminded of the experience en-
countered by Farmer politician,
chronicled in the 10th Chapter of
Luke. In spite of the experience,
they are still cranking the Fords to GO.
Just why should Farmer Legislature
exempt Bonds and Money from Tax
alton? Why should the individual,
Company or Corporation that lends
money at six per cent, be exempt
from Taxation? Why should the Mil
lions invested in bonds be exempted
These are the principal causes of in
creased taxation, and yet, they are
exempt. It is not the salary Of the
constables and poor houses keepers
that is making the tax payers of the
State winch, but those forms of
property, that we have devised our
selves and is escaping taxation. Let's
get hold of some these fellows that
have been elected to, save the state
from Wall Street and see just what
happened to him, in the Legislature.
Tax payers meetings are splendid
resorts for the fellow with a sore
toe, to pay off political debts. He
don't like the political crowd that is
running affairs and as he told us,
hell is to pay and he told US it would
be just that way, if he was not
elected. 1t is a good time to show
'em up. Later on, we will have his
application for the job again. When
a legislature exempts from taxation,
Money and Bonds, the two greatest
items of wealth, it is time to see if the
next applicant for the Law making
body, has just two good eyes.
We wanted Roads for our Fords
and we have them. And we still want
more Roads and we will have them.
So what is there to do but pay the
Bills. How can you blame the Sup
ervisors for paying the debts you
authorized. If you won't think be-
fore you vote, you have the choice
of thinking afterwards but you should
be man enough to take your medi-
cine when you think, late. A Tax
payers meeting is a splendid place
for self starters. AS rule they run
true to form, in that they have al
ways been opposed to everything and
voted against everything and it is the
other rellow that's played He'll.
We, have two years to think it
over. Some of us will forget, but in
the meantime, we can at least stop
voting expenses. It is safe wager,
that not many tax payers will remain
away from the polls at the next
Bond election.
Signed, OBSERVER.
