DRY MISSISSIPPI
“INVITES” BOOTLEG
GERS TO PAY TAXES
JACKSON, Miss. — (J-P) — Boot
leggers in “dry” Mississippi are
receiving printed tax-form “in
J
vitations” to pay a tax of 10 per
cent on their gross sales of whis
key—illegal in the state. The new I
law, enacted by the Legislature,
aims to discourage black markets
by imposing a tax equal to 10 per
cent of the gross sales, retail or
wholesale, of any commodity pro
hibited by law.
The words “whiskey” and
“bootlegging” do not appear in the
text of the bill, but Gov. Thomas
L. Bailey admits it is aimed di
rectly at the moonshine trade.
Men who return the tax forms
being sent them by the state tax
collcetor could find themselves in
a rather uneasy situation, but
there is an unwritten and un
spoken “gentleman’s agreement”
that bootleggers who pay the tax
will not be prosecuted for posses
sion by the State government.
This, notwithstanding that pay
ment of the tax “would not relieve
the taxpayer from further prose
cution in the courts and would not
legalize the sale of whiskey” au
thors of the bill said.
Portraits Of Wounded
Servicemen Aid In Their
Rehabilitation
NEW YORK—</P)—Members of
the Society of Illustrators have
skecthed more than 25,000 wound
ed servicemen in the U. S. and
overseas hospitals, in line with a
program to “get the boys out of
themselves,” said Society presi
dent Arthur William Brown.
Since war began, top flight ar
tists have made portraits of serv
icemen in canteens and of casual
ties in hospitals. Hospital person
nel observed such morale-raising
and therapeutic effects that
Brown says USO camp shows took
the artists over as one of their
projects. Some sketching units are
also handled through the Ameri
can Theater Wing War Service.
Exactly how these portraits,
which can be sent home to mother,
wife of sweetheart, help “make a
wounded man a personage again,”
Brown says was demonstrated re
cently in an Army mental hospital
in the United States.
One patient refused to pay any
attention to anyone, sat all day
long with his head on his chest,
and refused even to see his wife.
When the sketching troupe started
exhibiting their work, they noticed
this patient edging up to the door
way to watch. The next day he
came a little closer. Finally he a’
lowed the artist to do his portrait.
With the delivery of the skech
came a complete change of atti
tude. The patient sent for his wife
and “snapped out of it.”
After the war, Brown says, the
Society of Illustrators hopes to
hold art classes for servicemen.
