I NEWS AND VIEWS
--From The
STATE CAPITAL
By F. R. Birdsall
Slnec the dip! and women of Missis
sippi have fouud out what It costs to
default Jn the matter of the payment
of their poll tax, they are reported to
be rushing in hot haste to save, not
only their money, but their franchise.
The man or woman who defaulted for
poll tax in 1921 may pay $5,20 on or
before midnight, February 1, 1923, and
become qualified to vote and to hold
office. If they fail to pay the poll tax
for 1922, and have also failed to pay
the poll tax for 1921, the poll tax for
the two years will cost them $6.40,
and they will be bereft of their votes
and cannot hold office or participate
In any election. In other words, the
payment of poll tax within the consti
tutional time only costs $4 for two
years, and enables them to vote and
bold office, whereas if they fail to pay
$2 each year within the constitutional
time, they must pay $4 and $2.40 ad
ditional for damages and become dis
franchised. Teachers of county schools
■who get their warrants from boards
«f supervisors and all others who have
bills against the county, will have their
poll tax delinquencies collected out of
the warrants Issued by the boards of
supervisors.
I The supreme court will hand down
no more opinions, nor sit on the
bench, until Jan. 2. They have a
number of cases, however, which
have been argued, the opinions of
which may be ready, as they are un
l H. - Verstood to be working on them,
r § when they again go on the bench.
I Among these Is the appealed case of
| | State Insurance Commissioner Thomas
M. Henry, removed from office by
Governor Russell for alleged embez
Hil zlement, Judge Wiley H. Potter hav
Bsl Jng held that Governor Russell had
gpl a right to remove him from office.
Sfe f Another case is that of the revolving
school fund, on appeal from Judge
| I Potter’s court. In this case, Judgo
r I Potter held that the legislature had
I a right to make an appropriation un
der the constitution enacted In 18P0,
and regardless of the initiative and
referendum amendment to the consti
tution, which the supreme court held
null and void, because unconstitution
ally submitted and because It failed
to receive a maority of all those
voting.
The publication of the fact that the
aggregate bonded oounty indebtedness
\ I of Mississippi is between $50,000,000
f!i 1 and $60,000,000, followed by the pub
E licatlon of the additional Tact that the
$L state of Mississippi has $13,040,500 of
S outstanding payable bonds and the cur
M rent report that the legislature which
m .[ will assemble in 1924 will be confront
■ ed with a deficit of $6,000,000, seems
gH to be accentuating the interest in the
« [ legislative contests for seats in that
H body. The people have found out that
? I a 20-year million dollar bond bearing
T. 6 per cent Interest means that the tax
I Davers must nav *2.000.000. because
™the interest in 20 years becomes as
great as the principal. It seems that
legislatures have been Issuing bonds
and short-term notes to pay the cur
rent expenses of the government, and
the situation is one that will require
almost superhuman efforts on the part
|jj| of the coming lawmakers.
I Under the state constitution since
United States senators have been
made elective by the people, only one
officer can be elected by the legisla
ture. This Is state librarian. Prior
to the adoption of woman's suffrage
throughout the country, any -woman
20 years of age was' eligible to be li
brarian, made so by the constitution
al convention of 1890. The position
pays $3,000 a year, with an assistant
that pays $2,000.
The Woman Voter, of Clarksdale,
Is insisting that there shall be wom
en policemen. It says that Coahoma
county Is going to have a probation
officer, and that some good honest,
xealous woman should have the posi
tion. It adds that when she begins
to point out to the grand Jury what
she has gathered from term to term
I of court, a better moral atmosphere
i will prevail.
j Automobile Clerk Y. D. Lott, of the
auditor’s office, is sending out 80,000
automobile tags to the 82 counties of
[Mississippi. Five thousand of these
tags go to Hinds county, which is
12.000 more than any other county re
ceives. It is estimated that the cost

proxt uutely $$80,000,000 In this stats.
MISSISSIPPI HAPPENINGS
MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS
WHEN SUPREME COURT MEETf
Mississippi Tribnual Will Convene Jan
wary 2—Insurance Anti-Trust
Case Is Uppermost.
Jackson.—With all sittings off untl
January 2, the supreme court will havt
opportunity to dispose of some of tht
vital pending questions put before H
during the last week. Chief In inter
est among these is of course the sug
gestion of error in the Insurance anti
trust case, filed by the attorneys foi
the fire Insurance companies. While
seeking a re-argument of the easse foi
seeking a re-argument of the case foi
seems to be based chiefly upon the
contention that the penalties are ex
traavagant and that under the peculiai
circumstances surrounding the Judg
ment of the court, they should be re
duced.
Whether the court will choose to
reconsider this question of penalties
Is a matter entirely within their die
cretion. That the court did give thor
ough consideration to'the question be
fore the decision was rendered, is ev
ident from the opinions rendered and
from the per curiam announcement by
Chief Justice Smith.
While there was wide variance ol
opinion among the Judges as to the
amount of the penalties that should
have been imposed, they all agreed
that the penalties Imposed were not
confiscatory, and therefore must stand
unless overturned by a unanimous ma
tori tv
If the court should decide to recon
sider, It will take four judges in ac
cord on the question of reducing the
penalties, and these four must agree
on the fianie amount of reduction, oth
erwise the decision of the lower court
.must stand.
Chancellor Strieker sat as both
judge and Jury In the case and his
findings on the facts must stand as
the verdict oi a Jury until superseded
by judgment of the appellate court.
Thus, as the case stands, Judge Striek
er’s findings Is negatively upheld, and
remains as the judgment of the court,
although as a matter of fact, all six
of the supreme Judges disagreed with
his penalty verdict.

Quail Plentiful in Lee.
Tupelo.—Hunters report that quail
are more plentiful In this country and
section than for many years. Many
sportsmen are anxious that the board
of supervisors pass some regulations
and restrictions that will protect the
game, thus assuring a good supply in
future years. The board has had un
der consideration the passage of acts
looking to the protection of game, but
as yet nothing has been done.
Near Cotton Quota.
New Albany.—W. C. Mimms, county
demonstrator of Union,-is pushing the
organization of the Cotton Marketing
association zealously. One hundred
thousand bales of cotton must'be sign
ed up in the hill section of Mississippi
before the association can be formed.
Of this number Union county's quota la
3,300 bales. One thousand bales of
this quota have been secured.

Although he seemed to be 1 ■;

No official welcome awaited Clem

landed this morning, or in the capi

greeted him at both places. Official
notice of his return was lacking, due
to his expressed wish.
The Tiger when asked concerning

BUTLER CONFIRMED
AS SUPREME JUDGE
ONLY 8 VOTES CAST AGAINST
HIM IN SENATE.
NEW JUSTICE A DEMOCRAT
Succeeds Former Justice Day, But
WIH Not Take Seat Until Jan. 2,
As the High Tirbunal is
Now In Recess.
Washington.—The nomination of
Pierce Butler of St- Paul to be asso
ciate justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States was confirmed by
the 8enate in executive session. The
vote wt-8 61 to 8.
Opposition to Mr. Butler was even
ly divided, four Republicans, Senators
I->a Follette of Wisconsin, Norris of
Nebraska, Brookhart <jf IoWa and Nor
boc!: of South Dakota being joined by
four Democrats, Senators George of
Georgia, Trammell of Florida, Shep
pard of Texas and Heflin of Alabama,
in voting against confirmation.
The Senate removed the ban of se
crecy from the roll calls and it was
Announced that a motion to recommit
the nomination to the judiciary com
uuii.ee was ueieaieu do io i.
Justice Butler, a Democrat, who
was named for the vacancy caused
by the resignation of former Justice
Day, will not take his seat until
Jan. 2, the supreme Court now beiug
in recess. A prior nomination during
the recent special session was block
ed by the opposition.
The crux of the charges preferred
against Mr. Butler was that he has
been too intimately associated with
corporations—notably the railroads—
and was prejudiced en the side of big
business; also that as a member of
the board of regent^ the Universi
ty of Minnesota, he Had voted to oust
a professor who had - manifested fa
foritism for the demands of the farm
ers in the matter of lower freight
rates. These charges are known to
have blown up under the pressure of
official investigation. The 'Senate ju
diciary committee is said to have
threshed them out thoroughly before
voting’ to recommend Mr. Butler for
confirmation and it is understood that
today in the Sedate the opposition
failed to make good its allegtians.
Mr. Butler, who is an intense Amer
ican, did not approve of the attitude
of the Minnesota University professor
in question and voted against hint as
a member of the faculty. This pro
fessor, it Is stated, was pro-German
during the World War and as such
Mr. Butler, it was said, had no pa
tience for or sympathy with him on
thgt account.

Since all the lessons of the quartet
save one are from Luke, and the cen
tral and unifying theme Is Jesua
Christ, a profitable way to conduct
the review, as suggested In Peloubet’s
Notes, would be to assign the follow
ing- topics to the members of the
class to make a brief report upon:
1. Christ's Mission to the World.
2. Christ’s Helpers and How He
Used Them.
3. Christ’s Divine Power and How
He Exercised It
4. Christ’s Methods of Teaching.
5. Christ’s Love In Its Many Mani
festations.

tsnoweu it.
7. Christ'* Poes and His Dealing*
With Them.
8. Christ's Pity for Sinners.
9. Christ's Passing Through Human
Experience.
10. Christ as a Missionary and an
Organizer.
11. Christ's Relation to the Father.
12. Christ'* Preparation for the
Climax of His Life.
Another way would be by summar
izing each lesson, stating the out
standing topic and teaching of each
lesson. The following rngsestlons
are offered:
Lesson 1. The birth of John the
Baptist, which from the human stand
point was Impossible, was announced
to his father, Zacharlas. For his un
belief he was smitten with dumbness.
God expects of his servant unques
tioned belief In what He promises.
Lesson 2. Jesus was born In Bethle
hem Just as the prophet had foretold
some 700 years before, and at the age
of twelve years he consciously en
tered Into the services of God’s house.
Though conscious of His divine being
and mission. He lived * Ufa of filial
obedience.
Lesson 3. John the Baptist's min
istry was a preparation for the com
ing of Christ. He fearlessly preached
repentance and pronounced judgment
upon the Impenitent. Though a mighty
preacher, he humbly declared that
Christ was Immeasurably greater
than himself.
Lesson 4. Jesus Christ after His
baptism was led by the Spirit Into
the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil. The purpose was to test the
reality of the Incarnation. The re
sult was complete victory—c demon
stration of His ability to save to the
uttermost all who trust Him.
Leeson 5. Isaiah foretold the gold
en age upon the e&rtb when Christ
will reign.
Lesson 6. While Jesus was here He
healed all kinds of diseases and cast
out devils. He authenticated His
mission and proved His power to for
give sins by miraculous deeds.
Lesson 7. Jesus taught the dis
ciples the principles which should
govern In His kingdom. Only those
who have been born from above can
love their enemies.
Leeson 8. While In Simon’s house
at dinner, a woman who had been a
notorious sinner anointed Jesus' feet
and wiped them with her hair. The
sinner's gratitude to Jesus for for
giveness is measured by the appre
hension of sins forgiven.
Lesson 9. Jesus went forth through
out every city preaching the glad tid
ings of the Kingdom of God. The fact
of salvation for sins through a cruci
fied Redeemer is truly glad tidings.
Lesson 10. Jesua sent forth mis
sionaries with the realization of the
big task before them, and with power
to perform supernatural deeds to au
thenticate their mission. Those whe
realise the bigness 6t their task will
earnestly pray that the Lord will
send forth laborers Into His harvest.
Lasson 11. Jesus' reply to the ques
tion of a certain lawyer, “Who Is my
nelghbdrT” shows that the all-impor
tant consideration Is not “Who Is my
neighbor?” but "How can I show that
I am a neighbor?”
Lesson 12. A certain rich man In
his perplexity over his prosperity de
cided to provide larger stores and set
tle down to a life of sensuous Indul
gence. The one who lays up treas
ures on earth and la not rich toward
God la a foot
GREAT ADVANTAGE OF TREES
Argument That Roads Do Not Dry Out
Readily After Rains Does Hold
Good Nowadays.
The forestry department of Minne- j
sotu Is said to have aroused an active
enthusiasm la the state for securing
shaded highways and the department [
will this year plant 30,000 trees along I
the roadways and plans to add an !
equal number each successive year.
In Pennsylvania a similar movement
Is under way.
One objection heretofore to shade
trees by the roudsldes has been that
the roads did not dry but readily after
rains, but that mudhotes lingered.
Since road building according to more
modern methods has been so generally
adopted, this argument Is no longer
good, says the Indianapolis Star.
Thousands of miles of cement and
asphalt pavement have been laid In
states between Florida and Nebraska,
and at first objection was made to
tree planting along such roads on the
ground that the tree roots would up
lift or crack the surface. As this
rarely happens In city streets, no good
reason Is evident why It should be
different along country roads, and. In
fact, those who have experimented sey
If the trees are set far enough back
no 111 result follows. Much would de
pend, of course, on the character of
the tree, whether or not It had a tap
root or spreading surface roots. An
Intelligent person would hardly recom
mend the planting of a beech tree near
a pavement.
It has been realized that cement and
asphalt roads radiate a heat on sum
mer days that dirt and gravel roads do
not, and that wayside trees, always wel
come to summer travelers not only for
their cooling shade, but for their soft
ening of highway glare, ara especial
ly desirable with the new pavements.
Trees grow slowly and the progress
of pUntlng will keep pace only with
the public sentiment In Its favor, so
that at best It will be many years
before our Lincoln and Dixie high
ways and our state roads will be the
shaded thoroughfares that they may
become. The time will doubtless ar
rive, however, when American coun
try roads will rival In beauty any city’s

of the picturesqueness of the earlier

with seedling trees, berry bushes and

Those fence corners were wild gar

of an artist as they were a trial to
the thrifty farmer. It was only an
occasional farmer, however, wno took
the time and trouble( to keep his
fences dear and they remained for
many years an undisturbed feature of

a Joy to the eye of the appreciative

Gibson, an artist and writer, once cel
