SENATE REV0LTS

ton Among Leaders.

Washington.-"The protective tariff
Dill is crumbling away" said Senator
Underwood democrat, Alabama, in
commenting on the rejection of the
cotton yarn rates presented by the fl
nance committee. Il expect to see
many other reductions made in the
measure before 1t is passed. The low.
ering Of excessive duties has been
chiefly caused by the denunciatory
speeches made by the minority and
the educational matter scattered
broadcast by the press, which has
caused public sentiment to turn
against the BILL"
Undoubtedly" said Senator Sim
mons democrat, North Ca~rolina), "the
action of the senate in rejecting the
new yarn rates will have the effect
Of preventing increases in the duties
on cotton cloths. Even the house rates
are too high. The cloths ale made
from the yarns and the rates on them
must be lowered to be consistent:
heavy cuts in the various schedules
cannot be made until the period of in
dividual amendment is reached"
The opinion was expressed on all
sides that the revolt initiated against
the finance committees amendments
to the cotton schedule will continue
and be extended to wooden goods, silks
and all textiles. 1t is prophesied that
when the proper stage arrives there
will be heavy slashing of rates all
along the line.
Republican leaders appeared dazed
from the disaster and merely insisted
they would proceed with the tariff bill
regardless Of the cotton schedule blow
up. Those in charge of the minority
forces said they would experience no
surprise if the tariff revision was not
concluded at this session of congress-.
In fact, they halfway believe the re-
publicans may shunt the measure
aside at any time, and they are only
looking for a soft spot on which to
alight when doing this thing.
All prominent democrats are ex
tremely skeptical about the tariff re
vision becoming completed legislation
before the November elections.
There were rumors that the bill
would be withdrawn for the purpose os
rewriting it, but this was denied all
around. 1t was said the rewriting
would be done %piecemeal, as already
in progress.

COMMISSION ASKS
FULL ASSESSMENTS
Mississippi Tax Body Appeals To
Supervisors.

Jaeksaa-TAe state tax commission
has just issued a strong appeal 10 tie
board Of supervisors Of the state for
cooperation in the matter of tax as.
sessmeuts for the current year. The
commission makes I, plain that reduc.
ing assessments does not reduce the
taxes, but makes the tax burden I'm.
equal, and calls upon the supervisors
to show more backbone.
The statement in part sent out b.
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
b%ackbons. Each piece rs about a foot
long and seven inches in diameter.
1t Is thought hat 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 assessments to the
officers of the law, Can you then i'm.
pose a heavier burden on them by let.
ting the tax-dodger escape taxationo
Take a lesson from this old fish. He
swan the waters Of the seas before
Adam ufuc p,oIp fror, Ibn J,,t. 80
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 citizens
from the ravaEes 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 a fair equalization OF
assessment? How can there be a fair
equalization unless you do your duty?
Then take a lesson from this old fish
have backbone enough TO be not
moved by the walls or the t~ax-dodgcr.
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
creasing only the differentiation and
by adding to the rolls the property
which has been omitted therefrom. BY
all means make the assessments as
nearly 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, II you will do so. We will
take the responsibility if you will do
your duty"
