MAKE PLANS
TO EQUAL|ZE
TAXATION

JEFFERSON CITY, March 3.-An
important move to adjust some Of
the inequalities of taxation will be
made next week at the conference of
county assessors to be held in Jeffer-
son City. The meeting has been
called by Roy Monier, chairman of
the state tax commission. An effort
will be made to get the county as
SCISSORS to agree on a uniform assess
ment program.
This conference is part of the pro.
gram the Hyde administration has
undertaken to eliminate the Unequal
tiles which have resulted from the
change in the tax laws by the legisla-
ture. Monier has already sent let
tiers to the county courts urging them
to reduce their levies in proportion
to the increase in valuation so there
will be no increase in taxes this year.

THE MOTOR SHOW.

ONE of the most attractive fea-
lures Of the Mexico Motor Show to be
held in this city March 80, 81 and
April l, is the fact that it will bring
the many dealers participating in it
in personal touch with more prospec-
tive a buyers than any other means
that can be devised.
People who are thinking of purchas
ing a car, those who own one and ex-
pect to buy a new machine and those
who are not considering a motor but
when they see the splendid display
have the desire created and remain
to buy will all pass before the booths
of the dealers and give these progress
sive business men an opportunity to
talk personally to them of the res
pective merits of their motor cars.
In order to give the fullest possible
constructive assistance to this enter
prise the Ledger will issue a Motor
Section advertising the show and its
various displays. This section will
be attractive in every way and will
prove one of the greatest advertise
ments for the event of anything done
along publicity lines in its behalf.
This section will be printed this
week for distribution later and pre-
"
with illustrated special feature arti-
cles Of interests to every car owner
reading matter that the car owner
want to preserve because of it's
particular service value. We feel
shat Mexico should be the automobile
center of this section of the
state and intend doing our part to-
ward this end.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1922-03-09

ONE trouble the officers of the
law r meeting with in the enforce
ment of the 18th amendment is the
attitude Of many metropolitan papers
toward violators Of this law. We
have no argument in this instance
against those who honestly seek to
modify thelaw, that is their privilege
# they feel it should be modified, but
we do contend that many papers are
encouraging law breakers Of all
classes when they seek to break down
confidence in the law and its enforce
ment and in doing so are a decided
menace to the nation. When you hold
the %enforcers of the law up to ridi-
Guile, and in some instances almost
glorify the violators of the law, you
are striking at the very basis Of our
entire system of law and protection.
Real Am~ericanism is based upon res
pect Of the law. But if newspapers
who are considered moulders of pub
lie opinion, and in some instances
citizens who are looked upon as lead
ers, encourage the open violation of
the law to a certain class this is but
an invitation to violate not only the
18th amendment but every other law.
The matter is one that is no joking
matter and is a reflection not only
upon the papers who are guilty of
this but upon the citizenship that en-
courage such tactics.

THE James Bledsoe Post Of the
American Legion. Of this city is SER
iously considering a movement to
give Mexico a community house which
will serve the various organizations
Of the city as a meeting place and at
the same time supply wholesome and
properly supervised recreation for
the young men and boys Of the COM
munity. The idea is a most excellent
one. Just how such an institution
can be financed is a question. A
great many people in the city are in
terested in seeing physical education
established in the local schools the
expense of which will be partly paid
by the state. This would necessitate
the erection of small gymnasium
buildings at the grade schools and a
larger gym at Mcmillan high school.
This latter building could be of such
size as to fill the requirements of a
convention hall as we'll as general
recreation center for the citys young
people. It's activities would at all
time be under the direction of a
trained supervisor. 1t would not be
amiss for the Legion men and those
interested along the same line to get
together and discuss their ideas seek
ing a common plan that would meet
with the approval of the city as a
whole.

THE five cent loaf of bread in Mis-
souri, is the result of a bakers fight
in Kansas City according to the
Bakers trade journals and is practic-
ally the only loaf being sold in this
country at that price. We recently
were shown the figures of a baking
expert going to prove that the very
lowest price a loaf of bread can be
produced for is seven and a half
cents a pound. The Mexico bakers
state they in common with most of
the bakers in this country cannot
make a five cent loaf at present
prices and will continue to offer the
public a bigger and better loaf for a
dime. When costs fall sufficiently to
justify the nickel loaf they will be
glad to pass the savings on to the
public.

THERE is one way in which the
people OF Mexico can be of great
benefit in the promotion of the COM
nunrty. That is by mentioning in
letters as well Al by word of mouth
when they leave thecity the news of
coming entertainments here. Take
for instance the approaching Motor
Show here. Every time you leave
thecity mention to every person you
a the fact that Mexico is going to
have such an entertainment. In the
same way tell about our splendid col
leges, schools, churches and other
community activities. Promote the de
velopment of your home town. 1t is
always worthwhile. Also don't for
get the st. Louis Symphony Concert

THE business men when they pay
their dues to the Mexico Chamber OF
Commerce, among other things, are
buying protection against fake SOL
icitors. Why not take advantage OF
what you are paying for by insisting
that solicitors show card of approval
from the Chamber Of Commerce be-
fore you make a donation? One mer-
chant who does this says that within
a few weeks he practically pays for
his dues in the organization in this
way.

THERE should be a concerted
community effort on the part Of for
mer Hardin college students and the
citizens in general to see that local
young women, after completing high
school, take their educational train
ing in Hardin before leaving for Uni

than a Junior College. Local sup
port given a local institution
is taken frequently by out

THE City Council feels that the
people will vote favorably on the
bond issue to build an incineratoI
here if they will take the pains to in
form themselves regarding the ser
ious need for such a plant here. As
it is Mexico has no place to dispose
Of its garbage and trash. Even if
there were such a place it would be
more or less of a menace to health,
The incinerating plant is an excellent
means of destroying such accumula-
tons and will be here for all time,
The expense will be slight and is
spread over a period of ten years.
Citizens who are in doubt about the
matter should discuss the question
with the Mayor or members Of the
City Council who are informed and
will be glad to give the voters full
particulars concerning the matter.
