Toxing Illegal Business

Mississippi is being held up as a laughing stock more
or less in the eyes Of other states because nna Oh Inc hns ar 8
of the legislature in placing a license on lllegal Dusihess'
taxing slot machines.
The Birmingham, Alabama, News has this to say
regarding the matter, under a caption "Iaxng crime.
''Slot machines are illegal in Mississippi; A tax
therefore, on something which is not supposed to exist
is an anomaly rather difficult to comprehend. 1t IS as
if the sheriff were saying to a person, Now, you're not
supposed to do this, it is against the law, and we could
fine you and put you in Jail for doing it. But if you Just
insist on doing it, why, you can pay a license. In other
words, under the bill, crime would be licensed in MIS-
sissippi.
"This is not the first time the idea has been APP

posing taxes on illegal saloons.
If this tendency keeps on in Mississippi, they will
soon be collecting a fee for bank robberies. Perhaps
the privilege of burglary will be let out to the highest
bidder. Still worse, bigamy might be tolerated on pay
ment of a weekly license"
But our present legislature seems intent on closing
their eyes to actual conditions in Mississippi regarding
slot machines, liquor, Sunday movies and a lot of other
things.
They have no qualms seemingly about trying to tax
legitimate business out of existence and making it a
crime to earn money while they point blank refuse to
extract taxes from illegitimate businesses flourishing in
this state today. The vending machine bill is the lone
exception.
a state full of hypocrites who are either too ignorant
to know real existing conditions or too dishonest to re-
cognize them. Either is bad enough.
Why can't our legislature look at conditions like
they are and do something about them?
Why don't they legalize liquor and get revenue
from it, or enforce the prohibition law?
Why don't they legalize Sunday movies or not per-
nit them to run in some towns in the state?
If tax monies are to be accepted from slot machines
why isn't the law prohibiting them repealed?
But please, Mr.. legislator, quit holding up Missis.
sippi as the last stand of the WCTU, a state full of
hypocrites who regularly stagger to the polls and vote
dry, people who never gamble and go to Sunday movies,
a state where people talk one way and act another.
At least let's be honest with ourselves and not hold
our state up to be a laughing stock in the eyes of our
sister states.

AS THEY PASS

By Watt Henry

Battery b Field Artillery Officers
have the news hat the Army has
adopted the ninety millimeter anti
aircraft gun and the one hundred and
five millimeter howitzer as standard
equipment. The new u is more
powerful than the present three inch
gun. 1t will throw a shell weighing
about 80 pounds to a heighth of seven
miles. Also it could fire on the base
of a hill from a place at the crest
and up to nearly 10 degrees overhead
n traverse through 260 degrees hor-
izontally. The 105 howitzer can be
used as a direct sighting anti-tank
gun or at a high angle aainst mask
ed targets. Both are fine guns, have
pneumatic tires and their maximum
speed is that of the towing truck.
The 105 nm howitzer is lighter and
fills a different tactical purpose from
the 1856 our Battery B boys have.
