NEWS AND VIEWS
From The
STATE CAPITAL
By F. R. BirdsaU
Circuit Judge Wiley H. Potter has
held that the secretary of state is con
sidering the initiative petition looking
to the placing of the state revenue
agent on a salary regarded by the
friends of that office as a practical
emasculation of the same must take
cognizance of forged names and the
names of persons not citizens of Mis
sissippi and not qualified electors.
Judge Potter overruled the demur
rers of the attorneys of the secretary
of state and also their motion to
quash the certiorari as well as their
motion to dissolve the supersedes.
At the suggestion of Judge D. W.
Houston, of Aberdeen, one of the at
torneys for the revenue agent, the
eight attorneys on both sides of the
case called on Chief Justice Smith and
asked for an early day to hear the ar
gument on the appeal which was
taken by the attorneys representing
the secretary of state. On Wednes
day, Oct. 18, the case was argued and
an early decision by the supreme
court is expected. In the meantime
the secretary of state is forbidden to
put the proposed measure on the
ticked to be voted on Nov. 7. Should
the supreme court sustain the position
taken by Judge Potter, the proposed
measure, the petitions for- which were
filed by Hennessey, of Vicksburg, and
Austin, of Jackson, both fire insurance
agents, will not go on Ihe November
ballot.
Reports reach the city from all over
the state that boards of supervisors
are passing resolutions recommending
for their constituents to vote for the
constitutional amendment on Nov. 7,
which provides for the taking of trunk
highways out of the hands of boards
of supervisors and placing them un
der the control of the state highway
department. It seems to be well un
derstood now that unless this propos
ed amendment is ratified, Mississippi
will lose millions of federal appropria
tions for the construction and mainte
nance of highways In this state. It Is
said that the country people who are
thoroughly sick and tired of mud
roads have become aroused on this
subject and will vote for the proposed
amendment in large numbers.
The complaint seems to be univer
sal, and certainly it is the case in the
country adjacent to the capital city,
that so-called "road hogs" are endan
gering the lives and property of oth
ers and making automobile travel very
uninviting for those persons who have
regard for courtesy and law. In Some
Instances !t is said that heavy truck
drivers refuse to give half the road to
people who want to pass them and
that the drivers of some of these big
trucks, while allowing cars driven and
occupied by ladles, to pass, manipu
late the heavy trucks In such a way
as to greatly frighten the occupants
of the car. There Ib a growing senti
ment that automobile legislation will
be asked at the hands of the next leg
islature. Visitors to Jackson from different
parts of the state announce that there
will be a crop of candidates for the
office of district attorney in each of
the 17 circuit court districts. Already
official announcements are appearing
in the newspapers for candidates for
that office, the nominations for which
will take place in the August primary
of 1923. The salary of the office is
$.1,000 per year Jor a term of four
years, and district attorneys are al
lowed to practice In the civil courts.
Much complaint is reported from
many localities in the state touching
the violation of the Klger game law
passed at the 1922 session of the Mis
sissippi legislature. It is said that
deer, turkey, bear, squirrel, quail,
doves and other game mentioned In
the law are being ruthlessly slaugh
tered and that steps are being taken
by county attorneys and boards of su
pervisors as well as district attorneys
to apprehend the violators of this law
and bring them to punishment.
A concrete link in the public high

MOST OF STATI8
COTTON CROP GATMEMD
Fall has been Best Picking Season
for Farmers In 8everal Years
About 25 per cent Unpicked.
Jackson. Farmers of Mississippi
are agreed that this is the best
autumn for cotton picking they have
had in many years, and not more than
25 per cent of the season's y'eld re
mains in the field to be picket. In
some counties the percentage Is much
mailer.
During the latter part of last week
a few heavy showers were reported
In the central counties, but over
good portion of the cotton-growing
area there has been practically no
moisture during the past month. This
is not altogether pleasing, in view of
the fact that drought conditions have
developed, especially in the southern
counties where creeks have dried up,
and many farmers are compelled to
haul water for their live stock. Forest
fires covering a considerable area
have also been reported.
The quality of the staple Is the best
that has been harvested In this state
for many seasons, and the tendency
to hold back the crop from the market
is somewhat general. It is a common
sight to see wagons wending their
way back to the farms from the cot
ton gins laden with new-made bales to
be stored awaiting better prices.
