RESOLUTIONS.

The Citizens Of Rankin County
assembled in mass meeting on Jam
uary End, 1922 passed the follow
resolutions.
/ Believing that the taxpayers OF
the state should have some relief
be it resolved that we urge upon
the attention of the coming Legis-
lature ct Mississippi what is here
in set forth:--Resolved
That the Legislature be earnestly
requested not to increase any ap-
propiations for the year 1922 over
the previous years, but to materi-
ally reduce some Of them.
/ That we hope the legislature
will be too wise and patriotic to
create any new Offices end that the
same wisdom will admoaish them
20 discontinue some state Offices
that are now in existance.
That we insist that among the
first things should do would be to
,crrect the injustice and wrong
done the tax payers by repeating
and readjusting, the law increasing
salaries Of State, County and Beat
officers.
That we think that there are too
many men running up and down
The state at the expense of the peo-
Die without beIng Of any material
Eoaaefit t othose who bear the bur-
len, and that we think the whole
cost Of maintaining these travelling
expenses should be published SO
sh.t the people could see how some
of their money was wasted.
That we ask the Legislature to
remember that those who ask for
appropriations are usually on
hand to lobby for them while saose
whose backs must bear the burden
are at Esme earning these taxes by
the sweat Of their broWs.
That it is potent to any observ-
ing mind that If the entire treas
|ury were turned over to any parti-
|cular profession or calling or to
experts, that they would then call
for more taxes, 3 fact that we hope

NEW STORE BUILDING


J. E. Martin one of our hust-
ling and enterprising merchants,
who for many years. has been in
business in Brandon, is simply
spreading himself by putting up
a fine big store building next to
the one he now occupies, The
sound of the carpenters saw and

Brandon and we hope many others

This new building will add much
to the building district of Brandon,
as we'll as give Mr.. Martin more
room for his larger and growing

Education the man In charge Of pur.

The president Of the City College re-
ceiyes $4,000 and beautiful home In
addition. We thought that something
ought to be done, but because Of the
m mandatory Increases to Judges and
other county officers we were obliged tc
fyorego giving any consideration 90 per.
sons who work night and day Cor the
city.
while considering increases for the
commissioners and other city eu,.
ployees, it was natural that we had tc
talk 1t over In committee, and some
people were much pcrturbed because
they were not let In on it, and con-
cluded things we're being done behind
closed doors. We consider many mat
terg in executive session"
The $11,000,o00 increase was ac-
counted for in part, tho Mayor said
by the increased appropriations for
chald welfare work, amounting to ST.
100000; Ike increase in the amount
appropriated for teachers' pensions.
and $3,000,0oo mandatory increase In
the pay OF teachers. A new sewer In
Sixtieth Street, Brooklyn, will cost
about sl,5o0,ooo. The Mayor insisted
that II there. had been no mandatory
legislation the budget for 1923 would
have been no higher than che 1892
budget.
