HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct 13-In
charging the grand jury under the
night rider section of the state stat
utes at the opening of the Circuit
Court here, Judge Scott Wood took oc-
casion to score the Ku Klux Klan.
Among other things he said "If the
courts and the juries should approve
or palliate the use of unlawfW means
to promote the public good, public
good will soon be merely the pretext
for the use of all kinds of unlawful
means to carry out the arbitrary will
of an organization, which would usurp
powers Of government and substitute
its dictum, it's night riders, its tar
and feathers and its whip for the dig
nified and orderly processes of the
courts of the country"
Judge Wood dwelt at length on the
assumed prerogative of members OF
the Ku Klux Klan to demand the en-
forcement of only the laws against
crimes that appear obnoxious to them
mo organization of men in secret
conclave has the right to find men
guilty of an offense, and not even the

Tax Rates To Be Imposed
Monday,
taxpayers Last Day To Kick

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 3lst. 1922
To The Taxpavers:-
Heretofore your attention ha.
hfen called to your right to re.iii r
lgainst any items of expenditure
hown by the County budget. On
the first Monday Of November, the
Supervisors are required to impose
the tax RITES fixing your taxes for
1922. If you are opposed to any
II the expenditures proposed by the
supervisors, now is C. time for
the matter to be looked after; for il
YOU wait until the taxes Fave been
levied, it will be too late.
The tax rates in Mississippi are
very high. This Commission has
a ways taken the position that it is
far better to raise the needed reve
nues by preventing property from
escaping taxation through omission
from the rolls or undervaluatlons
hereon, than by increasing the tax
rates. for the increase in the rates
raises the taxes OF the taxpayer,
who has given in a fair assessment,
unjustly, and permits the tax-dodger
to escape.
Good government, good schools
and public impr ,vements are
n cessity. Adtqrate funds should
be provided for tht m: This can
only be done by taxation. Yet
wastefulness and extravagance
should not be tolerated. Every
taxpayer is given voice again t
such, by law. We urge you theref r
either to satisfy yourself as to the
justice and necessity for such tax
rates, or to make objections as
suggested above.
Yours very truly,
Duncan L. Thompson.
