Councilman Frank Stare in his
plea for passage of the vetoed
sewer disposal ordinance: Lets
be modern-let's dress old Faith
er Newark up-let's dress him
up so he looks like-well, like
Fritz, there" pointing to Clerk
of Council Fritz McElroy. Never
thought much about it before,
but Fritz does wear clothes.
Mayor Wright, talking of the
sewage disposal ordinance: CIV
cry baby that's born, has to be
nursed, but I'm not going to
nurse this One."
Seen at the Palace Bowling
alleys-a beautiful young lady,
Monday sending a ball

wham!-a strike. A tickled
young lady and another bowling

See where HI. S. Devine, press
room superintendent of the New
ark Advocate really hObnObs
with the big shOts-at least he
does when he attends the Ameri-
can Newspaper Press assOcia-
tiOn's Mechanical Conference.
His picture appeared in a nation
al printing equipment magazine
recently along with mechanical
superintendents from the Fargo,
N. ID. (Forum); New York
Times, and Youngstown, Ohio,
(Vindicator).
Councilman Stare again, speak
ing of the conditions confront
ing Newark residents in some in
stances -"Cesspools running ov-
breeders of infantile paral-
ysis and disease-that's why we
need that sewage disposal plant"
Probably something to think
about at that, folks.
Paul Green, candidate for state
representative is better pOliti-
clan we believe than the Mayor
of COlumbus-at least he profits
by that mans mistakes in that
he has not adopted a platform
of keep out of the red with
Green. (And he's new at the
game, tOO.)
Was waiting for a bus at Pen

not seem to have much impress
sion on some motorists. After
next week, when the kiddies start
back to school, a patrolman or
two, not afraid to do his duty,
would teach few motorists how

fore someone's little girl or boy

able mass of flesh and blood.

typewriter genius is full up =
full up of fish, crabs, Holsters,
and what have you. He won't
be able to look fish in the face
without turning green and get

all because of fishing trip in
the Atlantic, just off Staten Is

the kind of fish he was after

bill out favorably. Whether the mea-
sure will reach the floor at this ses-
sion is undetermined, but if it does
not, Senator Harrison will press for
passage at the next session,
He supported, as he had in the past,
legislation authorizing construction OF
the proposed $66, 000, 900 Tennessee
Tombigbee waterway in Mississippi,
declaring the approved by
the Senate Commerce Committee to
be the first step coward realization
of the project" and expressing hope
that proper appropriations could be
made later" Although the proposal
was defeated in the Senate, he said
ne would continue to favor such legis-
lation.
Senator Harrison, alert as always to
seeking advantages for Mississippi,
has co~operated with the various COM
munities in ironing out their problems
with the different agencies mere in
Washington, including Rural Electro
fication projects, United States Hous-
ing Authority, Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. etc. He has also worked
for WPA projects for towns and COM
munities in his state, and has assist
ed them with reference to PWA diff
ficulties.
He has been particularly active in
presenting advantages of Mississippi
to various officials carrying out the
National Defense Program.

Boil WeeviIs Are Now
Generally Distributed

State College, Miss, July 4.-Boll
weevils are becoming rather general
ly distributed in some sections OF
south Mississippi, but are still scarce
in nearly all the northern half Of
the state, according to Clay Lyle, En-
tomologist of the State Plant Board.
Examinations during the past week
by inspectors OF the Board and gov
eminent entomologists on $50 farms
in 81 counties showed weevils On 46,
or 80 per CEN Of the total as COM
pared with SO per cent on this date
last year. The infested farms where
cotton is not yet squaring averaged
81 weevils per acre or the same as
last week. Only 80 per cent of all che
farms visited had squaring cotton and
the infested ones in this group aver
aged 8 per cent of the squares pu-
ctured as compared with q per cent
last year at this time. The highest
infestations were in the southern
counties Of George and Jackson, al
though Lowndes County had some
infestations as high as 10 per cent
and II per cent.
Grasshoppers were spreading into
cotton in some sections of Leflore,
Tallahatchie, and Tunica counties, but
most of the damage in areas where
poison bait was being used was on
soybeans. Government poison for hop
pers is available in nearly all Delta
counties, DR.. Lyle stated.
In Holmes county three farms were
found infested out of three examined
with so per cen infestation in each
case.

POWER&LICHT
TAXES EXCEED
ONE MILLION
Utiity's Tax Bill Aver
ages $13.56 Per
Customer

With taxpaying time here
again, Mississippians are m ore
than ever conscious of this obli-
cation to good government and
citizenship, and are keenly inter-
ested In all phases Of taxation
whether large or small.
The Mississippi Power & Light
Company, second largest taxpayer
in Mississippi, has a total bill for
federal, state and local taxes in
exces Of one million dollars a
year, according to H.. B. Sargent,
vice-president in charge Of oper-
ations.
ION the basis Of the $4,000
pany, our tax bill now amounts
to about s13.56 per customer"
declared Mr.. Sargent. ITO put 1t
in another way, our tax bill is
equivalent to $1.13 per customer
each month.
Another interesting fact"
Mr.. Sargent continued in his dis
cussion, Taxes for the 365 days
In the year amount to almost
$4,000 q day, which is a large
amount of money in any language.
However, our company feels
that it should pay fair and reason
able taxes, and the Mississippi
Power & Light Company is glad
to pay its part toward meeting
the governmental and educational
needs of the territory we serve.
The payment of fair and equitable
taxes is the duty of every good
citizen, and that is exactly what
our company constantly strives to
be in each of more than 800 cities
and towns, as well as in each Of
the 40 counties it serve
Our annual tax bill, if used for
that purpose, is sufficient to pay
for the m school education
Of $4,000 Mississippi school chill
dren for an entire term. 1t would
also pave so miles of modern con-
crete highway.
"Of course" concluded Mr. Sar-
gent, Our customers pay u
taxes through their service bills
and, when one. realizes that u
taxes alone amount to $1.13 per
customer per month, it is quickly
understood just how drastically
our rates could be reduced should
the Mississippi Power & Light
Company suddenly find itself tax
free."

100000 for continuation of work
on the Natchez Trace in Mississippi
Alabama n Tennessee by the Nat
ional Park Service. In backing the
funds, he recalled that at his request
in 1885, President Roosevelt allocat-
ed the first money for work on the
trace from appropriations then avail
able under the WPA.
He re-emphasized his opposition to
any movement in the Mississippi Leg
stature to repeal the poll tax, ex-
planning, "the tax has worked well
in Mississippi, has preserved our civil
lization and assisted in the education
of the youth of our state" At the
same time, he said he vas strongly OPP
posed to a measure introduced in
Congress by Representative Lee
Geyer ID. Calif.) which would ELI
inmate the poll tax as a requirement
for voting in Federal elections. "If
such legislation became a law" Sena-
tor Harrison said, sit would be the
first step toward eventual domination
by the Federal Government in all
state elections"
In a statement, Senator Harrison
said that, Il oppose and am not in
sympathy with speeches made by John
L. Lewis, head of the CLIO, indorsing
the movement to repeal poll tax legis
lation. / believe the whole question
should be settled by states without
outside interference"
He again assailed the proposed anti
l%ynching law and called attention to
the testimony of Communists before
a subcommittee of the Senate Judic-
larry Committee favoring an an~ti-lyn-
ching statute. While such legislation
will not be considered at this session,
even though it has been reported out
favorably by the Committee, HI said
he is prepared to battle is vigorously
when it does come up.
He supported legislation which will
enable the Tennessee Valley Authority
to pay states and counties a percen-
tage of its power revenues in lieu of
property taxes lost when power sys-
TENS changed from private to public
ownership. The payments would total
10 per cent of power sales in the
year beginning July 1 and would dim
inish on a graduated scale to a mini
mum of S per cent in 1943 and sub
sequent years.
He sought to push passage of his
bill and that of Representative w. M.
Colmer reimbursing states and coun-
ties for tax losses incurred by gov
eminent purchases of forest lands, re.
sediment projects, game preserves and
similar operations. The Senate Agri-
culture Committee has reported the
