To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Did tbs Senators who sent a
message Of sympathy to the National
Congress Of Hindustan use their off,
cial titles when they signed? If they
did, it is about time we common citi-
zens demand that Congress take notice
Of politicians who make capital out of
other peoples troubles. Let us as good
Americans demand, once for all, that
this continual strife breeding cease.
Only small minority of our public
men are engaged in this work, and
they would retire in hurry if storm
of protest started. LOYAL CITIZEN.

Fairness to France

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Many Americans, l am sure,
will be thankful to The Tribune for
the article by David Jayne Hill in
Mondays issue. "Critics of French
Navy Claims Unfair"
The position taken by France is
clearly presented, and it is shown that
her claims are just. For the last three
weeks I have been much impressed by
articles against France published in
several leading papers. l, like many
of my friends, thought that France was
wrong, but after reading DR.. Hills
article We changed our opinion. 1t
shows once more that our people
should know both sides before decid-
ing. C.

New-York tribune., 1922-01-05

Governor Miller's message to the
Legislature year ago broke ground
for reorganization of the state gov
ernment and stabilization of it's
finances. His message this year
shows in matter-of f-fact way how
far we have already travelled at
Albany toward new standards of
businesslike administration.
The estimates submitted for the
fiscal year 1922 ran up to $201,-
$4,000, and at that did not include
requirements of $4,621,00 which
had to be met. a few years ago the
cost of the state government was an
der $100,000,00O. The Governor did
what his predecessors had failed to
do. He said abruptly that initiation
must stop and dehation must begin.
Under his leadership the Legislature
cut the expenditure for 1922
down to $143, $40, 900, including
about $S,000,000 which is to be re-
paid from Federal Post Road ap-
preparations. The net expenditure
for the year will be about $135,500,-
600, practically the same as for the
yeat 1920-'21. For 1928 tho un-
revised estimates transmitted to the
Legislature total $145, 5,019,000. The
Governor expects to see them cut to
S125, 100000.
These are lean years for revenue.
Indirect taxation will probably bring
in only $97,O00,O0O in 1922-'23. But,
fortunately, the State Treasury will
have surplus on July next of
S22,000,0O0. his will be drawn on
for $16,O00,0O0, and direct tax levy
of 100000 for debt service will
cover the balance. 1t is the Gov
ernor's aim to dispense with the
direct tax of $22, 100000 for teach
ers' salaries.
In order to defate expenditure the
cumbersome state machinery has
been simplified. Many consultations
have been effected and much ancient
leakage has been stopped. The Gov
ernor will go ahead with this work.
The five separate departments, Of
fees and bureaus which have to do
with public works can be combined
only through the adoption of con-
stitutional amendment, since the
State Engineer and Surveyor and
the Superintendent Of Public Works
are officers under the constitution
Mr.. Miller recommends that the con-
stitutional amendment be made gen
eral, and not specific, so that the
Legislature may provide for the con-
solidation and reorganization of any
two or more of these five depart
ments and Offices, and may modify
the rcarrangement, if it cares to dc
so, in the light of further experience
Governor Millcr's greatest service
to the state has been in dcmolishinc
the old, tangled wastcful system al
Albany and undermining methods OF
administration there. He has beer
practical, objective reformer
Thanks to his courage and vision
operating the state government is
becoming business responsibility
instead Of a political privilege.

Sir: appreciate the fairness to and
understanding of France shown in your
recent editorials upon the questions
arising out Of the disarmament con-
ference. France has the right to de-
mand assurances and guarantees. Fail
ing these she must claim every advantage
to aid her in preparing for the enemy

forgetting seems easy to the rest of
the world, whose civilization she

But movie of the sort that they

REVIVAL WEEK IN

OF ALL LOCAL CHURCHES

The members of the different
churches of the city are joining
together in effort to make the re-
vival services which are going on
at the Presbyterian Church
power for the spiritual uplift OF
the town and community.
Three women's prayer services
have been conducted each after
noon at 5 o'clock in the different
sections of the city, and a prayer
service for men has been held at
the same hour at the court house.
Each of these meetings has shown
increasing interest, and every one
who misses these services is losing
an opportunity of growing in
grace. The Reverend Mr.. Hobson
can only be here for a few days,
and the last service will likely
be held next Sunday night. Every
body is being urged to attend,
and everyone who can sing is es-
pecially invited ITO help in the
song service.

RANKIN COUNTY CITIZENS
WHO LIVE ADJACENT TO PIKE
IN ARMS AGAINST IEGGERS

Citizens of Rankin County who
live adjacent to the Rankin turn
pike are up in arms against Jack
SON automobile Lotharios, taxicab
drivers on shady missions and
bootleggers and moonshiners who
frequent that thoroughfare.
''If your business isn't decent,
keep off the pike" is the warn
ing that has gone forth from a
band of determined citizens. and
they say it with an earnestness
that leaves no doubt as to their
meaning it.
They also desire it to be made
plain that this is not a Ku Klux
Klan warning, and that those who
disobey the warming will not have
masked men to deal with.
A careful watch will be kept ON
the pike by citizens for persons
suspected of bringing mOOnshine
liquor into Jackson. and they will
keep in close touch with the au-
thorities and assist them in ap-
pretending this class of law viO-
iatoTS.
Last night several young couples
who took auto trips on the pike on
questionable missions were turned
back with a stern warning that if
the offense is repeated they will be
dealt with in a more drastic man
ner.
Several of the citizens who have
Joined in this crusade are engaged
In business in Jackson, and the
manner in which they discuss
their plans indicate that there is
no doub. as to their purpose.

Stanton Thornton, secretary,

Prong Fishing and Hunting Club,
were hosts Tuesday night to 80
members and invited guests at the
lodge of that aristocratic club.
Ine dinner-dance will probably
go down in the annals of The club
as the most successful affair OF
its kind ever held.
Lena's celebrated orchestra
from Jackson furnished music, for
the occasion, and jan Kitchen,
master chef, prepared 7-course
dinner, fit for king.
The. decorations consisted OF
wild flowers, Japanese and
lanterns and confetti streamers.
There were swimming parties,
rowing parties and many enjoyed
the dance, and everyone present
voted the occasion the brightest
and cheeriest of the summer sea-
son.

COUNTY AGENTS NOTES

The farmers over the county
are taking great deal of interest
in the pig feeder project which
we are working out; they are tax
ing better care of the pigs than
usual for it looks as though the
price is going to hold for several
months to come. The price for
several weeks has been steady,
with the light hogs commanding
the better figures. The soil ana
climate of Rankin County offers
a splendid opportunity for the de-
velOpment of an industry OF this
kind. We have relatively cheap
land and the climate is ideal for
growing stock; our winters are
short and mild as compared with
those of the, northern states, and
we can grow these pigs to ship
at six to eight months old. making
chem weigh 100 to $50 pounds at
that age, get the cash and grow
some more. Ship them to points
where the cheaper grains allow
them a profit in feeding these
small hogs to the butcher size.
We can grow hogs all right, but
tIlG OCSL pIO11I Clllo viz
losses will be found in growing
the feeder pigs.
This is a hard season of the
year on pigs, they need some
extra attention in the way of feed,
clean water, ridding them of lice
and worms, keep them growing. 1t
will cost something. but the time
has long since, passed when the
farmer can hope to grow rich
without it costing him something;
The indications are now that
we will ship quite number OF
hogs from the county next season.
If you will have some to sell see
your county agent and let him
know how many and when they
will be ready to ship. We want to
work this project in systematica3l1
way and would like to have all
the hog owners listed.
Yours for a better county,
