TAX COMMISSION AND '.---s-r
ARE ATTACKED


Water Valley, Miss, Dec .29-Re-
solutions adopted at a mas smeet~
ing here yesterday urged an extra
session of the Legislature, attack
ed taxes in general, demanded the
abolition of the stat tax commits
sion and recommended that sala-
ries of state officers be cut to
where they were when the officials
took office. The Committee on re-
solutions was composed of j. l.
Trusty, w. C. Bryant, G. w. Ray
burn and r. F Kinmons. On mo-
ton. the name of J. F. Provine was
added.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, our present system or
taxation and extravaganza in this
State, is rapidly reducing people,
and especially our landholders and
farmers, to a state of penury: and,
Whereas, there seems to be or
oan5za tions throughout the state
endeavor;ng to rerpetuate this
condition: therefore, in protest
and to the end that we, the tax
payers, my be saved from to<ai
aHhugtc.. be it
Resolved: First-That we call
upon the Legislature soon to meet
!. caaace the uresnt high taxes by
ys ring expenses and appropria-
t.. SO 10 th minimum.
&ecend-- Eat all laws passed by
iSs las Legi:latule increasing Of
fices and assistant Offices and i'm
creasing he salaries OF state and
county officers be repealed and the
salaries to be reduced to what Trey
were before the officers were elect
ed. Further, that all laws placing
county officers on a SALARY basis &c
repealed and that the officers be
paid on a fee basis as they were
prior to 1916, to take effect on the
experation of the term OF the pres
ent officers.
Third-We believe that the state
tax commission has wholly failed
in the purposes for which it was
created and that it should be alb
olished and that expense be sav-d
to the taxpayers.
Fourth-That the so-calied par
don board should be abolished at
once.
Fifth-That hte law which takes
from the various counties of the
state the motor vehicle tax should
be repealed and that the taxes paid
by the owners of the vehicles be
left in the counties where they are
paid, to be used by the county au-
thorities at home.
Slxth-There seems to be an or
ganized onslaught on the state and
county treasures by the educa-
tional forces of the state, result
ing in the payment of exorbitant
salaries in many cases and in a
very great increase in the expense
of operating the public schools,and
we urge that the Legislature give

Eighth-That the chairman Of

ties to urge upon the Legislature
at lis coming session, to givs US
speedy relief from the conditions
now existing.

Jack knew the beggar formula. but
this was no beggar's tone. Obviously
the man was the leader Of a company
Of marauders and this his impatient
threat. Edna shrank against her hus-
band, who cursed not taking a revolver
along. Cousins snarled something in
Italian.
From the grouped figures burst an
answering snar The leader leaned
forward and actually snatched at
the string of pearls about Edna's throat
Jack thrust her back and planted a
hard fist neatly in the attackers face.
The man went down, but
At once five or six others lept to the
car. Edna screamed and hid her face.
Jack strove to protect her and attack
the ruffians at the same time.
Cousins was whacking about to right

Then suddenly the CLEAN of an appraised
knife followed by a 9hrieking oath.
The knife was knocked to the street
by an effective blow from Cousins stout
cane.
The manager had risen and was now
plying his heavy stick fearlessly about
the attacking party. The chauffeur
clapped on burst of speed and Jacks
hard fists knocked off the two who

MISS SKINNER WRITES ON
SCHOOL AMENDMENT.

Miss Elizabeth Skinner, state chair
man, writes in the Bulletin of the Flor
ida Federation of Women's Clubs, as
follows:
AS registered voting citizens of our
state we are to help determine in No
vember whether some of our children
may have better school advantages
than have been possible with a three
mill district tax. If we carry the Ten
Mill Amendment we open the oppor-
tunity for the improvement of educa-
tionaI facilities in those districts where
the people so desire.
AS leaders we have the responsibility
Of education and a rousing public opin-
ion in regard to the status Of our own
gressive schools in Florida and other
states.
The Biennial program centered about
the welfare of our children. Women
are turning their efforts everywhere to
protect the interests of future genera
tions. Observation-Disclosures to the race,
to the nation and to the family-was
treated from every angle. The benefit
of healthful play for child and adult,
correct posture. suitable clothing, bal
anced diet, and the happy choice of
work all received the attention of spec
ialists
American ideals must be kept before
US and never overlooked. The new citi-
zens, growing up in and coming to our
state every year, should feel their re-
sponsibility in electing officials who are
capable and efficient.
The General Federation recognizes
the mower club women WELD and Florida
looks to it's women for leadership in all
reform measures. Especially are wom-
en- needed to teach obedience to law.
We know majority rules in democracy.
That majority must be composed Of
high minded thinking people, which !
