ONE-FOURTH OF A STATE
SOLD FOR TAXES
The thundering of the auctioneer’s
hammer sounds a knell throughout
the State of Mississippi. taxes

. Thousands are I their
homes. Historic plantations, as well
as modest dwellings, are being sac-
| rificed under economic pressure.
The statistics of the situation are
amazing. As the Paso Times ex-
claims: “Think of nearly 40,000
farm families in a single State being
| turned out homeless because of un-
| paid taxes!”
It may not be quite as bad
that, for “owners may retain
sion of lands sold and have two
in which to redeem them,” 1s
the Jackson correspondent of the
| United Press tells us. But then he
points out that on a single day last
month—
“One-fourth of the entire area of
the State went under the auction-
| eers’ hammers.
| “That land included 20 per cent
| of all farms and 12 to 15 per cent
| of all town property. The sales con-
| ducted by seventy-four sheriffs af-
fected 39,699 farms.
“Of the land sold Monday, about
| 400,000 acres went to the State. The
' remainder went to insurance com-
| panies, loan agencies, and mortgage
| holders to protect loans.
| “The State already has more than
| 1,000,000 acres on its hands, so sc-
quired. In another eighteen months,
, with the rate of acquisition increas-
| ing, it will have more than 3,000,000
| acres of farmers’ lands.”
“What is the cause of this?" asks
| then answers:
| “One of the causes is the ever-
| increasing cost of government, city,
| county, State, and national.
“Extravagance and wanton waste
have so crept into office that it re-
quires a large part of the receipts of
a farm to meet the tax bill,
«If the taxpayers will organize
| one-half as strongly as those who
‘are eating at the public trough, then
| economy can be forced into the
| heads of office holders.”
Here we have “a situation essen-
American
tially destructive of the
| politico-economic system,” declares
| the Galvaston Daily News. “It is an
| absolute denial of the democratic
theory that the government exists
r for the benefit of the people and not
| the people for the benefit of the gov-
ernment.” d this paper concludes:
“Mississippi presents an exagger-
| ated case, of course, but it should

possible, pedestrians should carry a

In this connection the Federation
has called attention to the section
of the motor code that requires -
ons and bicycles on streets and -
ways after dark to carry lights. He
quoted the law as follows:
Every bicycle shall be equipped
with a lighted lamp on the front
thereof, visible under normal atmos- '
pheric conditions from a distance of |
at least 200 feet in front—and shall
also be equipped with a reflex mir-
ror or lamp on the rear, exhibiting
or reflecting a red light visible from
a distance of at least 200 feet to the
rear.
All vehicles not required in this
act to be equipped with specific
lighted lam (this referring to
wagons) carry one or more
lighted lamps or lanterns, display-
ing a white light visible, under nor-
mal atmospheric conditions from a
distance of not less than 500 feet to
