COLLEGE HuMoR

I sent my boy to college,
To acquire some knowledge,
1t took him all the Fall,
To learn to play ball.
1t took him all the Spring,
To learn to dance and sing.
They taught him to root and cheer
And how to down a neat beer.
He was doing real nice,
At a game called dice.
Then they took him in the fraternity
And swore they would be his broth
er for Eternity.
They learned him to play poker,
He lost his allowance at their
smoker.
Shucks-just as sure as you was
born.
He did learn to blow the horn.
But in the inside of a book,
He never had time to look.
No sub.

| proportion to the small sum which
represents their share of profit in
this ~nefarious racket.
The Tax Commission collects some
ninety percent Of the annual reve-
nues which support the State Gov
eminent, and the States institutions
its public schools. colleges, its pro-
vision for our deaf, blind, and in
sane, ct cetera. This has
amounted to $30,834,643.15 during
the present calendar year. down to
December first. OF this total, tobacco
taxes have amounted to 1884, 49,
81 or 1880 percent Of the whole.
Whether he realizes it or not, every
time a citizen or resident of Missis-
sippi makes a purchase, of these un-
stamped cigars or cigarettes, to that
extent he Is a, party to a fraud on
the State Treasury. The people who
sell this unstamped tobacco are nom
residents. They, have no interest in
our State, no regard for the sanctity
Of its laws. nc responsibility for the
maintenance Of its government and
its institutions. To this extent they
have an excuse, false and illegitimate
though it is. which our own people
do not have.
The Legislature has tried to meet
such situations through the enact
ment of laws which provide penal
ties for such practices, and which
hold the Tax Commission respon-
sible for their enforcement. This is
a most disagreeable duty, thus i'm
posed upon us, but we have no other
recourse. In cases of violation which
come to knowledge, the penalty
provided by Title 40, Code Of 1912,
is the ayment. by the purchaser OF
such unstamped cigarettes Of a pen
atty equivalent to the amount of the
original taxes due, plus as much as
$3.50 0 for each package received and
for each separate offense. In other
words, the law simply places the
purchaser of untaxed cigarettes in
the same category as a dealer inso-
far as penalties are concerned. This
is done as a safeguard to the reve-
nues Of the State, and the protection
Of the local dealers who pay taxes
to the State, against unfair competi-
ton from the outside.

you for your cooperation. We have

These signs, THINKS! Prevent
Forest FIRES, is one method adopt
ed by All Club leaders of the coun-
ty to help make our citizens more
conscious of the horrible destruction
done to our soils by forest fires.
Mr.. Word Sheppard, who has re-
Gently published a book, food or
Famine, states that one hundred
million acres of our farm lands have
already been completely destroyed
by erosion, and Of the 400 million
acres left, $50 million Of them have
eroded to such an extent that the
people farming them are able to
barely make a living. Three billion
tons of our best topsoils wash away
into rivers and the Gulf Of Mexico
every year. What objective could
the youth Of our country adopt of
more importance than one having
to do with the conservation of our
soils?
A number of All Club boys of the
county have taken a forestry pro-
ject this year and have set out &c.
600 loblolly pine seedlings. Each boy
received 1000 plants. This also, is a
conservation measure since pine
trees will help prevent soil erosion
and besides grow valuable trees.
