The Right Way And The

Mrs. j. E. Arnold, Candidate For
Congress

There are two sides to the Indian
question: a right side and a wrong
SIDE. The agency at Philadelphia
functions for the wrong side. am
contending for the right side.
The wrong side sponsors large APP
preparations OF tax money, which is
expended extravagantly and unnec-
essarily by an appointtee who liz
NOT a Mississippian. stand for
legislation authorizing the Court OF
Claims to determine and settle for
what Is due the Mississippi Choc-

taw property In Oklahoma get for
them their part of the tribal money,
all OF which is now going to their
Oklahoma brethren. Not a cent oi
this Is tax money.
The wrong side enc ourages the
abolishing OF county schools for
Indians and replacing OF same with
( expensive school plants over which
the county and state have absolute
ly no authority--a fragrant infringe
ment on state rights and an nnwar-
ranted expenditure OF tax money.
The wrong side encourages the In
dians In idleness and uselessness by
supplying them with un-needed and
unwarranted supplies OF rations,
tools, ETC., which are frequently
wasted, given away or destroyed. |

dustry, and to be honorable and sell

age their own affairs and to continue
free citizens of the state as they have

TO The Tax Payer

The Supervisors are required by
law to equalize assessments of prop
erty, at their July meeting; and to
hear objections to the assessments,
at their August meeting. Unless you
complain at that time, the law de-
nies you the right to do so after
wards.
The Tax Commission wants you
to go before the Board of Supcrvis,
ors with objections-as to the assess.
ments of those who are trying to
"get by. Many OF those, who wish
to escape taxation, go before the
Supervisors with their compla ints; ;
yet none do so to protest against
the tax-dodger's assessment. The
Board is usually left alone to resist
the onslaught OF the tax-dodgers.
The Supervisors not only, need your
moral support, but they need also
your information as to what prop
erty Is not listed on the rolls and as
to what property is listed at an un-
LIBERALIZATION. Examine the roll and
point out to the Supervisors who Is
about to "get by" and how.
There are several hundred thous.
and children in Mississippi to be edu.
Gated. The Gallantry OF the Con-
federate soldier is to be commemora-
ted by Confederate Pensions. The
ravages OF tuberculosis and other
malignant diseases are to be halted,
II possible; the afflicted are to be
treated; the insane are TO be cared
for; Good roads are to be construct
ed and maintained. Many other
things OF the kind are to be provided
for. This cannot be done except by
taxation. Taxation cannot be just
unless the Supervisors equalize the
assessments fairly. These things COW
er ninety-five percentum of your
taxes.
III the tax dodger succeeds, either
these things will be meagerly pro.
vided for; or the tax rates will be In
creased, and the taxpayer who has
given in an honest assessment, made
to pay more than his Just share Of
taxes. Tax rates are very high In
Mississippi The explanation OF this
is that 80 much property ia not as
sessed on the rolls and SO much prop
erty IL undervalued that the Super
visors are compelled TO increase the
tax rates to make up for the short
age In the total revenues to be col
lected. Such method penalties hon
esty and patriotism. 1t would GER
tainly be fairer to Increase the tax
dodgers assessment, and collect the
needed funds by forcing him to pay
his Just portion 81 the tax burden,
instead Of burdening the honest tax
payers with higher tax rates.

less than the value of your property
and by omitting property from your
tax-llst, maybe you can save your
self ten or fifteen dollars or even
more, OF taxes; but just think what
you will be doing-you will be giving
your support and endorsement to
tax, ,dodging. Such practice ties the
hands OF your Government, which is
doing 80 much for her citizens pro-
tecting your property, the life and
liberty OF yourself and your dear
ones; educating your children; and
doing many more things for your
welfare. Your dodging your just
share OF taxes will enable the big
taxpayers to do SO too, and they
will cheat your State and County
Government out Of thousands OF
dollars OF taxes. The expenses OF
keeping three or four children in
school during the free school term
would be far greater than the taxes
OF the average taxpayer, II such ex-
penses were borne by private sub
scription. Do you feel that you can
afford to cripple such beneficent Gov
ernment to save so little?
Some Supervisors explain to their
friends: "We did not want to In
crease your assessment; but the State
Tax Commission compelled us to do
so". II you will examine the law,
you will find that the Tax Commits,
sion has not been given the authori
ty to fix the assessment against any
individual; but that such authority
has been entrusted only to the SUI
pervisors. The State Tax Commits
sion has control OILY over the total
assessment of each class OF property.
We have no control over the amount
of money expended by the State Gov.
ernment. This and the tax rate for
1t are fixed by the Legislature. We
have no control over the amount OF
money expended by the county. This
and the tax rates for 1t are fixed by
the Supervisors. We are charged
only with the duty Of equalizing the
total assessment of each class OF
property. one county compared with
the Others. Do not mistake this as
an apology to the tax-dodgers be-
Cause we would be too glad to make
every tax.dodger toe the mark, II we
had the authority OF law to fix as.
sessments against individuals. We
urge you to cooperate with US in
our efforts to get the Supervisors to
assess all taxpayers properly, with.
out fear or favor; for they alone have
such authority.
II the Supervisors fail to make the
proper assessment against any tax
payer, please furnish us with the
facts, and we will request the Attor-
ney General to appeal from the as.
sessments to the court. II you like,
your name will be held In confideDce.
