THEN AND NOW

In 594 B. c., Scion, archon of Athens, being
in need Of funds with which to maintain the
government of the well known oligarchy, decided
to levy an income tax upon the people. Whereupon
the heavy tax payers affected, raised a howl and
promptly proceeded to carry their case to the
supreme court which being packed by the friends
of the privileged, they thought, would render a
favorable decision at least declaring the act UNI
constitutional.
But Solon being somewhat unlike modern
leaders of democracy, presidents and congress
men, was not disposed to debate the problem with
either taxpayers or courts.
The government needed the money maybe
needed it to pay bonuses to the soldiers who had
fought in the Pelopenisian wars
So he promptly notified the court that they
must render decision in accordance with the
law and the facts, regardless of their relation
ship, social or financial, with the large taxpayers
of the nation
Then he notified the said large taxpayers who
were ALSO strange to say, the social leaders of
their time that promptly on next taX-day they
would be expected to come through with their
correct apportonment.
And Scion got away with it and Athens was
saved Human nature is the same today as it
was in Soon's time, but our system of imposing
taxes is less effective and judging by the official
income tax report just released our system Of
COLLECTING taxes might with profit be copied
after Solons.

WHAT THEY ARE WORTH

correspondent asks the Dispatch, What do
you consider the proper salary for the governor
of Mississippi?
Well, my brother, it would depend somewhat
on who the governor happened to be. Mississippi
has had some governors who would come high at
fifteen cents per Dozen There have been others
who were worth many times more than they re-
ceved In our judgment the present chief ex-
ecutive is being paid enough. But if Hon. Henry
j. Whitfield were governor we believe he would
be worth as much to the state of Mississippi, or
more, than Warren Gamael Harding is to the
United States.
Bank clerks shoe statesmen, lumber jacks
printers drummers and others who are hired,
get paid in proportion to what they are worth
Why not pay public servants what they are
worth? And why not keep them on the payroll
only so long as they faithfully discharge their
duties and make good?'
The public crib should not be operated as an
institution of charity. People who serve the peo-
pie should be expected to deliver the goods" the
same as people who work for stores, banks and
corporations.
But, seriously speaking we believe the COVER
nor Of Mississippi should receive not less than
one thousand dollars a month. The right kind
of man in the chief executives chair in jack
son is well worth twelve thousand dollars year.

A STRONG TEAM

The hosts of friends of Hon. Dennis Murphree,
the capable legislator from Calhoun county, note
with pleasure the many good things that are be-
ing said about him in connection with the office
of leutenant-govenor. He has been in news
paper harness for number of years and his many
newspaper friends know him to be true blue,
worthy and well qualified, and that is why he is
receiving the unanimous endorsement of the
press for the second place on the state ticket. If
Murphree enters the race, he will make strong
candidate, and The Record heartily endorses him
for the position. He is not aligned with any par
ticular political faction and could be counted on
to serve the whole people with fidelity and pain
stalking ability, if successful. With Henry l..
Whitfield for governor and Murphree for lieuten-
ant-governor, it would be strong team.-From
