Children of the Confederacy

The Children of the Gonfeder-
aCy held their monthly meeting
at the home of Elizabeth and
Margaret Louise Bone on Satur-
day, Jan. 9TH. Elizabeth received
the members at the door and
then were carried into the large
living room, where we enjoyed
the music by Virginia Taylor.
The president, Fannie Mae
Houston, called the meeting to
order. The meeting was opened
with prayer.
Mary Fletcher Tubbs read the
life of Robert f. Lee, which was
enjoyed very much.
Next Ellen Bumpas read a
beautiful poem, The Sword of
Robert Lee"
Mrs. MCWilliams made an in
teresting talk. We always ap-
preciate anything she says, for
we will certainly profit if we go
according TO her instructions, for
she seems to be so interested in
the work. She suggested that
the club start TO work and make
it mean something. We are hop
ing to have a Clubroom before
very long.
When the program was over
we played two games; the small
er girls played a game and the
prize was won by Margaret
Hewgley. Alice Bumpas also
won a beautiful Madeira hand
kerchief; she made the most
words from Robert E. Lee.
Dainty refreshments were serv-
ed and we all enjoyed the meet
ing so much.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Pauline English
on Feb. 4th. Every member is
invited TO be present.

registration. This necessiIateS
every man or woman in that
county qualified to vote to reg,
lister if they wish TO vote in the
primaries next August. Under
a ruling of Attorney General
Robertson, 1922 is a general cleo
ton year. In such years, boards
of supervisors are required TO or
der new. or supplemental, regis
trations. When such registra-
tions are ordered, the county
registrar must visit every pre-
CinCt in the county, after having
published the date at which he
will be at each. and spend a
whole day, SO that voters may
have opportunity TO register.
Later on, doubtless, the Monroe
county board OF supervisors Will
order a new registration for this
county, and every man or wo-
man must register if they desire
TO vote in the primaries or gen.
eral elections.
Registration alone will not en-
title anyone TO vote. All taxes
must be paid before March 1st.

and see that your taxes are paid

A Generous View

During the stress of the times.
when prices of living were as
high as cats back, Legislators
raised the salaries IN other de-
partments of the government.
Under the constitution the in
crease of their own salaries could
not become effective for two
years. Does any patriotic. lib
eral-minded man oTswOman be-
grudge the Legislators drawing
their increased salary for the cur
rent session now available under
the constitution while other Off
Gals drew their increased salaries
al the time? The cost of living
TO the legislators who could not
get raise for their services two
years ago was as expensive as ii
was TO those who drew inCreas-
ed salaries. Perhaps legislators
need money 10 pay bills neCes
sarily incurred then. Fiat jus

Senator w. @. Sykes spent a
few days in his home last week,
which was necessitated by a
slight indispoSition or sickness.
Senator Sykes was active IN leg
islation during the first two
weeks of the session. One of the
bills he introduced and cham
pioned through the upper house
was a measure meant to encOur-
age the building of hotels in
towns and cities. This bill pro
vides exemptions from state and
municipal taxes for a term OF
years of hotel buildings of pre-
Scribed magnitude erected dur
ing the time prescribed in. the
bill. Encouragement given TO
investments in hotels and other
industries that are vital 10 the
interests of towns and cities is
two-fold in its benefits, in that ii
SubSeryeS the civic interests OF
the municipalities and creates
wealth to be taxed in the future
that will add to the revenues OF

the Mississippi legislature at the

lied. The fact is, that a larger
amount of money has been APP
propriated TO defray the expense
of this session than eyer before
in the history of the state. No
hope is entertained for the re-
duction of the nine mill state
levy. With such leaders of the
assembly as Hon. Mike Common,
speaker of the house, and Hon
Alf Stone, chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, and Bailey
of the House Appropriations
committee, high pressure men,
little reduction in expense of va
rious departments of the state
government is to be expected.
True, the governors salary has
been reduced $500 per year,
provided two thirds of both
houses pass the measure over the
governors veto. 1t is generally
believed the governor will veto
the reduction, since it is contrary
TO the general trend of his mes
sage. 1t is also practically GER
tain that appropriations for the
common schools and the Con
federate pensions will remain al
the present figures, with reason
able possibility that one or both
of them will be increased.
Insurance legislation that will
makeTt possible for the fire in
SuranCe companies that left the
state on account of recent suits
against them by the state reye-
nue. agent, 10 come back into
the state, is not probable, since
such legislation will likely en-
counter opposition from the gov
ernor and a twO-thirdS majority
among the membership could
not be mustered to overcome his
veto, if he should veto any ia
vorable measure that might pass
both houses.
Ii looks as if the salary law
governing the pay of county Of
ficialS will be replaced by the old
fee system, with limitations plac-
ed on SheriffS and chanCery
clerks as to salaries. This would
save little to the taxpayers, but
not enough to materially tighten
the load of taxation TO the extent
of giving them much relief.
The session promises TO be
strung out TO long one.

Everything that goes up Is bound
TO come down" said a farmer con-
selling himself, expecting reductions
in high taxes. the other day. Yes, !"
replied a bystander, but thing
may go up so high and stay up so
long that it finds the power that
sent it up dead when it does come
down" The farmer walked away
