EMELIA NELSON'S
PUPILS RECITAL

Friday evening, May 20, the
pupils of Miss Emelia Nelson
gave a Piano Students Recital
in the Zion Chapel of the Col
lege Building, which was very
we'll attended not only by the
parents but by many of the
friends of the many students.
The program was divided
into two parts. The first part
embraced those students from
the first grade to grade five,
while Part Two was given by
four advanced students - Joy
Chertoff, Evelyn Godin, Bar
bara Hazel and Flora Schwa-
ger. Miss Schwager will re-
ceive her diploma in piano at
the Annual Commencement of
Zion Conservatory of Music on
June 18th at Zion Auditorium.
No doubt it will be of in
terest to our many readers to
know that Flora Schwager
took her first piano lesson
from Miss Nelson on June 10,
1888, at the age of 615 years
of age and she will receive her
graduation diploma on June
18th, 1913.

TIE TheOCrat
A NEW FLOWER
FOR ILLINOIS

Occasionally in the routine
collecting of native plants for
use in the Illinois Herbarium,
the collectors, headed by DR..
George M. Fuller, Museum
Botanist and Professor Emerl-
tus of Botany at the Universe
ty of Chicago, find something
new. It comes as a pleasant
tingling and a delightful sur
prise - here is a reinsurance
that all is not yet known about
the seemingly familiar plants
of this we'll travelled state.
So it happened that in 1947
when spring was at it's height
and when the woods were full
of Sweet Williams and may
apples and wild geraniums, DR..
Fuller became interested in re-
ports of a new Collinsia on the
hills of Shelby county. The
familiar little blue-eyed Mary
is a Collinsia - four-petaled,
blue and cream blossom that is
found in many wooded por-
tons of the state. But now an
other was reported. So the
Museums botanist, in company
with Professor G.. Neville Jones
of the University of Illinois,
oailv scented the presence of
a discovery, went on an explor-
ing trip to Shelby county.
Led by u. l.. Evans and
Vance COPYRIGHT who had
found the blossoms, the party
liked up the sloping hillside
above the narrow flood plain
of the Kaskaskia River. There
in light sandy soil of the hill
side and in the open woods
were hundreds of the new
flowers. In pleasant unconcern
as to how they were upsetting
the botanical records of ILL
nois, the lavender and white
flowers of Collinsia violacea
nodded in the prairie wind. On
nearby hills there were more.
Specimens were taken for the
Herbaria of several institu-
tons, and records were check
ed. It was found that the near
est spot where this rare flow

Red Cross Reports
lon Disaster Relief

In a recent edition of this paper
it was stated that Disaster Relief
would be given top rating in con-
nection with the fund campaign in
March.
During the 10-month period prior
to December 1. 1947, Red Cross
chapter and national disaster work
ers have operated in more than 300
separate disasters in which over 100,-
900 persons have received emergency
or rehabilitation aid. Five major dis
asters-the Texas City explosion fire
the Oklahoma-Texas Panhandle tor
nadoes, Florida-Gulf Coast hurri-
canes and floods (meaning the Mis-
sissippi Coast particularly and New
England forest fires, have made 1947
the greatest year for disaster expen-
ditures since the 1887 floods.
To bring the above report to date
January 1st, 1948, news comes of
tornadoes in louisiana end Ark
ansas and Red Cross is first on the
scene as appears in the newspapers
over the country.

an anticipated item of $12,000,OOC
cash balance at the end of the bien-
| MUM.
The working STAFF of the Bulge,
Commission, as Mr.. Stone calls them
are w. R. Hough, statistician. E. J.
Yelverton. auditor Of the State Build
ing Commission. and w. N. Jack
McGee, secretary of the Budget Com
mission. This trio has prepared the
bulk of the commissions report
which makes this comment on es-
timated revenue and expenditures.
The general expenditure total OF
| $91 100000 is based on a four-point
policy: (D providing funds for all
departments and agencies sufficient
for efficient operation; (2) maintain
ing cash reserve at all times of
$5,000,000 to guard against periodic
fluctuations; (3) providing a repair,
replacement and equipment fund so
that physical properties of the state
may be kept in first class condition;
and (4) giving due consideration to
annual recurring costs of support
ing any additional improvements.
They add that the cash balance of
$12,000000 (using only round figures
AGAIN. plus anticipated revenue of
$99,20000O will mean that $111,200,
900 will be available for expenditur-
es at this session, but no recomnen-
dations for appropriating the $20,-
100000 over the $91,000,000 budget
of expenses is made.
In other words it sums up like
this: the state can expect $99,200,000
from present tax laws during the
new biennium; it may expect $12,-
100000 cash surplus making SILL
100000 cash available; against this,
it estimates that appropriations of
$91,000000 be made, leaving a $5,-
100000 cushion" against periodic
fluctuations, and $15,000.000 for new
buildings and expansion, to be spent
as the legislature sees fit.
For the first time, the official
budget report this time shows how
much money the various state agen-
cies and departments can anticipate
from "other than state appropria-
oitns". This, for instance, includes
general grants to the health depart
ment, federal CT training money for
colleges, grants for school lunch pro-
grams, etc, and the local funds
available for school operating costs.
for instance, the budget calls for
$34,225,000 appropriation for COM
mon schools; it anticipates $30,200,-
900 additional available from "other
sources" mostly local taxes; giving
the common schools of the state $64,-
100000 for all expense in the two
year period.
Total of all funds anticipated
"from other sources than state ap-
preparation" for all agencies runs to
$77,400,000, so that with addition
of 100000 in state funds, these
will have an overall total of funds of
$163000,000.

Legislature Opened

SiI|ers Unopposed
Stote Budget Commission
Suggests Appropriations
TotoIIing 1000. 900.

JACKSON -(SpeciaD- Mississip-
pi's 1948 Legislature, faced with few
er organizing problems than in many
years, came officially into being
at noon Tuesday, and started at once
to study a high stack of official re-
ports from the various state de-
partments.
Probably of most interest among
these-both to the solons and the
taxpayers-wa the voluminous re-
port of the State Budget Commits
sion, Suggesting" state appropria-
tions totalling $9l,O00000 in round
figures.
There were literally dozens of
other reports for the solons TO study,
for each of the 90-odd state depart
ments, agencies, bureaus and COM
missions is required by law to make
biennial report of its activities and
explain how it spent its last appro-
priation; more of interest, each is
supposed to recommend any need
ed changes in the laws covering its
operations.
Organizing of this session was SIM
plified in the House by the fact that
no candidate appeared to contest
Speaker Walter Sillers of Rosedale,
seeking reelection. When Secretary
of State Walker Wood, as he is re-
quired to do by the Constitution,
"swore in" the new members, they
went at once into the job of giving
Speaker Sillers a unanimous vote
and turned to the minor job of man,
ing clerk, sergeant at arms and
other lesser jobs.
In the Senate, aside from a brisk
scrap over the top elective post,
President pro tenn, there was little
to halt organizational work and
Lieutenant Governor-elect Sam
Lumpkin, of Tupelo, was at hand but
taking no active hand in affairs,
pending his official swearing in

ceremony on January 10, the day
ahead of the governor and the same
day that all other elective state Of
ficials begin their 1948-52 term.
A joint session, as provided in
the Constitution, was held early for
election of two officers; but since
neither of the incumbents had op-
position, election was a formality
for Postmaster Mrs. Tom Uillian)
Minyard and State Librarian Miss
Julia Starnes.
Later in the week, the two houses
slated a joint session to hear Cover
nor Wright make his outgoing" re-
port.
Since, as lieutenant governor, he
became governor upon the death of
the late Governor Tom Bailey, Gov
ernor Wright is both outgoing and
incoming governor. his speech this
week reporting on state conditions,
is expected to be fairly brief; his
real recommendations will come in
his inaugural speech January 20,
when he begins full term of his
own.
Because taxes affect every Mis-
sissippian, there is probably more
interest in the budget commissions
report and recommendations than
any other: this time Chairman A. H.
Stone of the State Tax Commission,
and assistant director of the budget
(by law the governor is ex-officio
chairman) proposes no changes in tax
laws as they now stand; the budget
as presented is based, Mr.. Stone says,
on the best possible forecasts" OF
what present tax laws will bring dur
ing the next biennium-which. Incl
dentially, does not start until July
/ of this year, running to July 1,
1850, under the states fiscal year
setup.
MIR. Stone estimates that tax laws
will bring the state about $99,200,0OO,
or about $150,000 more than for the
current biennium. OF this, $89,300,-
900 would come from taxes admins
tered by the State Tax Commission,
most of which are Excise" taxes,
levied on a percentage basis-such
as the two per cent sales tax-and
therefore Immediately reflect busin-
ess trends. If business remains as
good as it is, Mr.. Stone says the in
come may run bit higher-but if a
recession developes, of course it
would be Immediately shown in tax
collections.
Some Of the estimated revenues
from tax commission administered
sources are sales tax, $4,000, 900; in
come tax, $18,000,000; tobacco tax,
$12,000O00; oil severance tax, States
portion-one-third goes back to the
producing counties) $6.400,000; and
beer tax, $3.70O,000. Four other tax
laws are due to bring over $1,000,000
each through the commission, and
s2vo~-l rniror taxes smaller amounts.
Aside from the tax commission, ad
valorem taxes are due to bring about
$2,000.00O at the present two mill
rate: the insurance department will
yield $3,100,000 from its fines and
taxes; the penitentiary should net
about $1,50O,0O0 and the black mar
ket tax, if not repealed, $1,000.OOO.
Other taxes and fees will yield from
$4,000 to several hundred thousand
each.
In addition to the $99,000,000 ex-
pected from taxes this biennium, the
budget report points out that there is
