New Excise Tax To Boost
Tire Prices July |
Love Wagon Co.
Local Dealers Won't
Change Til 9th

Everyone who drives an automo-
bile will be interested in the fact that
Federal excise taxes recently author
lied by Congress go into effect July l,
this year. Naturally these increased
taxes will affect the price of tires n
tubes and there will be a compensat-
ing upward move in prices, since most
taxes are ultimately paid by the con-
sumner" said Love Wagon Co., local
Goodyear tire dealer today.
Because of our current leadership
tire sale, which we planned prior
to this increase, we will continue to
offer tires to the motoring public at
sale prices up to and including July
6. five days after the tax goes into
effect.
This means that, within the few
days remaining, there will be oppor-
tunity not only for car owners to buy
tires at our sale prices, but in addition
to save the excise tax" declared
Mr.. Love.

President Roosevelt
Shows Confidence
In State Man

Washington, d. c., July A survey
today of activities in Congress showed
that Senator Pat Harrison of Mis-
sissippi, Chairman of the powerful
Senate Finance Committee, has siren
gthened his long-standing position as
a leader in the affairs of his nation
and state.
Recongnized as the force responsible
for the initiation and drafting of the
emergency tax bill designed to raise
approximately 81, 200, 000, 900 annually
to pay for national defense expendi-
lures, Senator Harrison was floor lea
der in the Senate in pushing the mea-
sure to passage. Work on h bill
started May IT, the day after Presi-
dent Roosevelt outlined the country's
defense needs in an address to a joint
session of Congress, and the plan
was given impetus in conferences be-
tween President Roosevelt, Senator
Harrison, Treasury officials and lea
ders in the House Ways and Means
Committee.
With the approval of the new reve-
nue. plan, Senator Harrison predicted
a general overhauling of the entire tax
structure soon and told The coutry
in a nationwide radio address from
Washington that 1--WE must all tighten
our BELTS; the end for national defense
expenditures is not in sight and there
fore the need for additional taxation
later to underwrite those expenditures
must be expected"
Earlier in the session, Senator Har-
rison was the floor leader for the
Administration in gaining approval
of a three-year extension OF the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Program.
After passage of the bill, Senator
Harrison was congratulated personal
iy and by letter by President Roose-
welt and Secretary OF State Hull for
his successful fight for the legisla-
ton. While the spread of the war in
Europe has affected the scope of the
program, Administration leaders are
hopeful the plan can be worked into
postwar trade arrangements. Mean
while, conferences are being held on
new approaches to the problam of
disposing of this country's farm sur
pluses and making it possible for the
United States to maintain and in
crease trade with other countries.
Although President Roosevelt vas
forced to cancel a trip to Mississippi
and the West Coast in June because
of the wal situation, he promised
Senator Harrison he would visit Mis-

Senator Hanison's Record Reviewed;
Shows Unquestioned Leadership
During This Session Congress

sissippi later" When the President
ooriginally announced his plans for a
trip to Mississippi enroute to the West
Coast, he told newspaper he was Ego
ing to make good a long-standing pro-
mise to Pat Harrison"
Mississippi's senior Senator took the
lead In urging President Roosevelt 20
appoint a Southerner TO succeed Mar
ion Caskie of Alabama, resigned as a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission SO that the South would
continue to have a friend in court
in it's long fight for more equitabls
freight rates.
At the special session last Fall when
new Neutrality legislation vas adopt
ed, Senator Harrison vas n of the
Senate leaders who did yeoman work
for President Roosevelt in repeal of
the Embargo Act and passage of the
cash n carry" legislation, a mea-
sure giving wide powers to the Presi-
dent in meeting foreign developments.
Before the session was convened, Pre-

rison at the latter's home in Gulfport
to ask him to aid in the fight.
Other outstanding activities by
Senator Harrison at the present SEES
sion include:
He voted for $347. 000, 900 in farm
benefit payments which was not in
cluded in the budget message of Pre-
sident Roosevelt. OF this $212, 900 900
is for parity payments and S135, 000, 900
for removal of surplus crops.
He declared himself in full ac-
cord with a resolution extending the
low interest rates available to Dor
owe through national farm loan
associations.
He reiterated his hope that i'm
provements be made in the Social
Security Act as Don as possible" so
that poorer states would be aided in
the distribution Of funds to the needy
aged. Emphasizing hat Mississippi's
needy aged should receive more funds,
he called attention to his support of
the Connally amendment, which pro-
vides that the Federal Government
contribute to old age funds at a
ratio of two to ms to the states in
stead OF the $3.50 basis as at present.
The Connally amendment was lost in
Conference last session; was ~re-intro-
duced January 4, and will likely be
pushed to passage at the next ses-
sion. With action on other proposed
changes in the Social Security Act
uncertain at this time, Senator Har-
rison appointed a subcommittee of
the Senate Finance Committee to
study all proposal for changes, and
predicted eventual liberalization of the
Act.

Caution Advised
In Celebrating
On July 4th
Health Officer Asks
Lessened Activity
During Holiday

The grim old spectre of catastrophe
the approaching celebration of "the-
Fourth" So cautions the State Heath
Officer, DR.. Felfx =! Underwood, who
urge scare and restraint IN activities
during the holidays.
IF an automobile trip is planned"
ne says, take it easy" start where
you are going a little earlier and take
a little more tine in getting there"
Continuing, the health officer ur-
ges, Don't let your children play
recklessly with explosives ana fire
works. Remember the greatest kind
ness to these youngsters is not to let
them substitute a f~leeting thrill for
death or permanent disability"
With further suggestion, Doctor I'm
derwood advises, IF you plan to go
swimming, consider that the sport
has certain limitations. 1t is wise to
wait two hours after eating before
entering the swimming pool. SWIM
ming long distances may end in ira
gedy. Do not dive in water without
first knowing its depth" The health
officer points out that swimming, a
long with hunting causes more ac-
cidental deaths than any other sport.
Much of this high toll may be avert
ed by simple adherence to safety pre-
cautions.
Urging that the Fourth be made a
holiday, not a horror day" Doctor
Underwood recommends the applica-
ton OF safety rules and moderation
in all activities. THE practice of over
indulgence an dcarelessness, result
ing in needless sacrifice of lives seems
an ironic way to celebrate the right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness" he says.
The best vacation is the one which
affords real relaxation and change
from everyday routine and returns a
person to his job with renewed in
terest, according to the health Of
ficer. IT wish for all Mississippians
this type of July Fourth" he states.

venereal Disease
Clinics Founded
In Holmes Co.
Other Places Muy
Get Clinics IF
So Desired

Two clinics to fight venereal dis
ease are being operated in Holmes
county at Cruger and Ebenezer, ac-
cording to DR.. l.. E. Eubanks, county
health officer.
Plans are being made to establish
the clinics in other parts of the
county.
Durant can ave n of the clinics
provided the doctors of this communi-
ty will operate it and the Board OF
Supervisors will put up one-third of
the money for the operating expense
The Board of Supervisors of this
county voted last year the sum of
$4,000 for it's part in sponsoring the
clinics all over the county. The state
would have contributed $4,720 to sup
port them. A petition presented by a
number of doctors of this county was
presented to the Board asking that it
withdraw its support of the clinics. On
presentation of the petition the Board
withdrew support. A number of doc
tors in the county, however, wanted
the clinics to be established.
The clinics are operated by local
doctors who are paid for their SER
vices by the hour, according to the
plan of organization. Medicines are
paid for by the state n office facili-
ties are furnished by the state.
The purpose of the clinics is to
stamp out venereal disease which is
highly prevalent among our colored
population and hence a menace to
every white man, woman and child.
