The supreme court of the state Of
Mississippi sutained every point made
by Circuit Judge Potter in the case
wherein the initiative petitions filed
by Hennessey of Vicksburg and Austin
OF Jackson, insurance agents, with the
secretary of state for an election to
put the state revenue agent on sal
airy. The revenue agent challenged
these petitions upon the ground of
forgery, perjury and misrepresenta-
ton.
This decision Of itself would have
been sufficient to stop the election,
but the supreme court went further
and declared the initiative and refer
endum amendment to the constitution
null and void because section 273 Of
the constitution providing for the sub
mission of amendments had been fla
grantly violated In the submission Of
amendment and futher that the initia-
tive and referendum amendments had
not received a majority OF those voting
as required by the constitution.
The supreme courts decision in this
case, lawyers state. is identical with
the decision Of Chief Justice Whit
field and Associate Justices Calhoon
and Terrell, when they held the Noel
amendments to the constitution for an
elective judiciary null and void be-
cause 1t had been unconstitutionally
submitted and it had failed to receive
a majority of all those voting at the

INTEREST IN PRICE CUT

 This slight but important alteration seems to have been made in the fa- nous slogan spread broadcast by Dodge Brothers few months ago.

That was eight years ago.
 Dodge Brothers latest bid for a complete and exclusive monopoly on public attention, so far as it pertains to the automotive industry, came on January 10, when they announced that they were about to make a sub stantial reduction in the price of their the prices would be.
 The mere fact that they will not tell until February 1, makes everyone want to know immediately.

 That is the way it has been going ever since January H." the dealer said. T never appreciated what an intense interest there was in Dodge Brothers motor cars until this occur red. That fellow who Just called probably wanted the information for some business reason, or maybe for sheer curiosity. Perhaps he had a bet up with someone. Anyhow, he refused to give his name.
