Tate plans New Road.

Senatobia-The board of supervis-
oE in session adopted the proposal OF
the state highway department to con-
struct the stretch Of the air line route
Of the Jefferson Davis highway through
the county with federal assistance.
The only question now in the way OF
immediate work on this road is the To-
cation of the route. The federal engi-
neers have located the route on the
west side of the l. G. railroad; how
over, this will necessitate additional
costs, and a committee will be ap-
pointed to confer with the authorities
In trying to get the old route approved.

STATE EVENTS
TOLD IN BRIEF
THE HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK
BRIEFLY TOLD FOR OUR
BUSY READERS.
ASKS FULL ASSESSMENTS
Mississippi Tax Body Appeals To
Supervisors.

Jacksonville state tax commission
has just issued strong appeal TO the
board of supervisors of the state for
cooperation in the matter of tax as
sessments for the current year The
commission makes it plain that reduc-
ing assessments does not reduce the
taxes, but makes the tax burden un-
equal and calls upon the supervisors
to show more backbone.
The statement in part sent out by
the commission is as follows:
There are near the state tax COM
mission, in Jackson, the fossils of a
Zeuglodon. These were pieces of his
backbons Each piece is about a foot
long and seven inches in diameter.
1t is thought that this fish had about
seventy feet of backbone.
There are some exceptions, but, in
the main the tax-dodgers are those
who come before you with complaints
as to their assessments. They even
appear with their attorneys. The av-
erage citizen Is willing to leave the
equalization of lis assessm ents to the
officers of the law. Can you-then i'm
pose heavier burden on them by let
ting the taX-dodger escape taxation?
Take lesson from this old fish. He
swan the waters Of the seas before
he had backbone enough to remain as
a. memorial thousands Of years after
Adam was driven from the garden Of
Eden.
There are hundreds Of thousands OF
children to be educated in Mississippi;
there are many afflicted to be treated
and cared for; there is the greatest
need for the protection of cur citiz ems
! from the ravages of tuberculosis and
! other malignant diseases; there is a
great demand for better roads. How
can the money be had for these things
without taxation? How can taxation
be just without fair equalization of
assessment? How can there be a fair
| equalization unless you do your duty?
Then take lesson from this old fish
have backbone enough to be not
moved by the walls OF the taXdOdger.
"Please do not increase any assess
ment which is rendered for the value
Of the property; justice; no doubt,
would demand a reduction of such an
assessment This commission urges
you to increase the assessments by in
crsasing only the differentiation and
bv adding to the rolls the property
which has been omitted therefrom. By
all means make the assessments as
yearly equal as you can, according to
the actual value Of the property.
There may be some supervisors
with 70 feet of backbone We are not
at all interested in what excuse you
offer for doing your sworn duty. We,
| in good faith, urge you to do your full
duty, and we propose to cooperate
with you, if you will do So We will
take the responsibility if you will do
your duty"

LEWIS MAKES EXPLANATION
Matter of Joint Conference of Opera
tors and Miners Talked over
Meeting, Says Lewis No
Definite Plans.

Washington, d. administration
efforts to bring about a settlement
Of the bituminous coal strike have
met preliminary check.
After conferences with President
Harding and Secretary of Labor Da-
Wis, John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America an.
nounced that the union policy still
was unaltered and unyielding in it's
lnisiStence that new wage scale
must be set up for the strike ridden
mining districts by national or semi
national conferences with operators.
The meeting between Mr.. Harding,
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Lewis, which
took place at the White House, was
the last of a series of conferences in
to which Secretary of Labor Davis
took Mr.. Lewis.
Officially no statement was forth
coming, though Secretary Hoover al
so was called to the White House i'm
mediately after Mr.. Lewis left. Ap-
parently no spokesmen for the mine
operators, whose refusal before last
April to meet in the semi-national
wage scale negotiations of the cen.
tral competitive field was the con
troversial point in the strike, were
In the capitol for discussion.
1--WE talked over the general prob
lens of the bituminous inquiry and
the strike" Mr.. Lewis declared on
leaving the White House, Its over
development and intermittency, and
projects for its sterilization.
with relation to the present strike
we considered the matter of a joint
conference of operators and miners
especially the merits of proposals 10
hold district joint conferences between
operators and miners for wage settle
ments, as compared with a joint con.
ference in the central competitive
field, or a national conference of all
fields, through representatives. Nc
definite plans affecting the strike
were decided upon. The strike sit
uation is unchanged.
Il explained to the president the
f1tility of attempting settlements in
individual mining districts. There
are no groups of operators willing to
hazard their competitive relationship
with other producing sections by fix
ing a wage scale until they know
what their competitors are going to
pay. The country will be facing a
serious shortage of coal within few
weeks and if the strike continues the
railroads will be unable to transport
enough to take care Of industries and
domestic consumers"

ELECTRIC WIRING IN HOMES
USED AS RADIO AERIAL

Utilizing the wiring in any build
ing as radio aerial by simply screw
ing an attachment into light socket,
is made possible with the use of a
small article manufactured by an
eastern concern and illustrated in the
August issue of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Simple receiving sets of
the crystal-detector type, or the
more elaborate vacuum-tube outfits,
can be "hooked up" without danger
by means of this innovation.

of violence, if such are contemplated,
cannot be tolerated mere.
at is understood quite number OF
men are here from other mining states,
