MISSISSIPPI WOMAN
OUT FOR CONGRESS
Mrs. J. E. Arnold Would Rep
resent the Fifth District.

UNION, Miss, May 30.-Mrs J. E.
Arnold today made formal announce
ment of her candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for representative
of the Fifth district to succeed Con
gresham Ross Collins of Meridian.
Mrs. Arnold is the first woman to
enter congressional primary in Mis-
sissippi. She announces that she will
make an active canvass of the district
prior to the primary election in Au-
gust.
Daughter of Confederate soldier
and native of Alabama, Mrs. Arnold
lis one of the best known women in
Mississippi where she has lived and
worked most of her life. Her father,
]. A. Trippit, fell in the defense of
his southland during the siege of
Vicksburg. Mrs. Arnold is niece of
ex-Gov. Heard, of Louisiana, and is
not stranger to public life.
Her husband is a Baptist minister
and is a missionary to the Choctaw
Indians of Mississippi, serving under
the home mission board of the South
ern Baptist Convention. The Arnolds
have been engaged in this work dur
ing the past five years.
Mrs. Arnold also spent ten years of
her life in Washington, where she
represented the women of the coun-
try in the formation of legislation
beneficial to her sex. In this capac-
ity, she has come to know many of
the public men at the capitol, and,
if elected, she will feel entirely at
home in Washington as representative
of the fifth district.
A woman of unusual ability and of
pleasing personality, Mrs. Arnold is
held in high regard, not only by her
home people, but those of other states.
She is a student and philosopher and
is generally known as a "doer" of
things. She is a good public speaker.
Mrs. Arnold was the first high
school graduate in the Indian Terri
tory and later attended Fort Worth
University She was the first chair
man of the Fifth Mississippi District
League of Women Voters, and has
long been active in womens' club
work in the state.
The Fifth District is composed of
counties of Smith, Jasper, Clarke,
Ccott, Newton, Lauderdale, Leake,
Neshoba Kemper, Winston, and Nox-
ubee, and is the eastern edge of the
state.

OFFICERS OF RAIL
MEN ORDER A
STRIKE BALLOT
Would Walk Out July S If
Wage Cut Refused-Over
100000 Will Vote.

Detroit, May 30.-The executive
council of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway shop laborers this afternoon
unanimously adopted resolution in
structing E. F. Cradle, the president,
to send out strike ballots to all MEM
bers of the organization and all nom
union workers in the crafts affected
by the wage cut ordered by the rail-
road labor board Sunday
President Cradle announced the
ballots would be sent out immed-
lately and that if the workers de-
cided to strike in protest against the
cut, the walkout would be effective
about July s. He estimated Ats, 900
members of the union and about 49,
900 non-union worker would be
asked to vote, virtually every rail-
road in the country with the ex-
ception of short lines and electric
roads being affected.
The resolution adopted by the
executive council which is composed
of the officers of the union specified
the ballots should ask whether or not
the workers were willing to accept
the cut and declared if they were
not "the union will use the full eco
nomic piwers of the organization to
resist the reduction of wages ordered
by the labor board"
Presidnt Cradle said afterwards
he expected the returns would be in
by July /, explaining that in case
of strike vote he was empowered
to call the men out, he fixed July 5
as the tentative date, by which time
arrangements could be completed tc
put the strike in effect. The wage
cut is effective July /, under the
board order.
Mr.. Cradle expressed the belief thai
other railroad brotherhoods also woulC
Nconduct strike referendums withir
the near future and declared if the
others voted to strike the maintenance
of way men would join them in thu
event the members of his organiza
ton favored such action.

NUMBER 20
MANY MISSISSIPPI
VOTERS BARRED
Delayed Payment Fatal To
Thousands of Voters-Rob-
erson Holds Failure to Paw
Taxes Prior to Feb. Bars
Citizens From 1922 Elections

JACKSON, Miss, May 3O.-A Mis-
understanding of the amnesty act of
the last Legislature extending the
time for payment of taxes in Missis-
slppi, probably will disqualify several
thousand voters in the state tbiv
year, if the opinion expressed by At
torney General Frank Riberson to-
day stands.
The attorney general has receive5
hundreds OF requests from taxpayers
VINO want to know whether failure
70 pay poll taxes on or before Feb.
bars citizen from participation in
the primary election this year. I'm
der the opinion of General Robertson.
made public today with letter to :.
+. Dogan, circuit clerk at Tana-
hatchie County, it does.
In some sections of the state. the
amnesty act has been misconstrued
as meaning that citizens might nav
their taxes at any time prior to
rep. as condition precedent to
the right of suffrage is constitu-
tionaI provision and cannot be
SA.~>ASSo Dy act OF the Legislature.
The amnesty act, says Mr.. Robertson,
only postponed the time for impo.
sitlon and collection of damages, and
was intended merely as an accommo-
datioa to those citizens who felt that
they were able to pay their taxes by
Feb. /.
The attorney generals reply to
Clerk Dogan's query is as follows:
"The Legislative act postponing the
time for the imposition and collee-
uon Of damages in the payment of
taxes for the year 1921 has no re-
lation whatsoever to the qualifica-
tions of electors.
Il am, therefore of the opinion
that the requirement that the
taxes should have been paid on or be-
fore Feb. l, 1922, still obtains, and
that any person failing to do so could
not vote in any of the elections or
primaries of the year 1922.
FRANK ROBERTSON,
Attorney General
The state board of election COM
missioners will meet in July to
purge the registration books, and il
Will be their duty to strike off every
name where it appeared taxes have
not been paid on or before February
