Major

I have the honor to respectfully request instructions in the following and all similar cases:

I enclose herewith a receipt from the tax collector of Rankin Co. by which it will be seen that the full amount of taxes due from the man is charged, and in addition a tax of $1.00 on his wife, and I have reason to believe that this thing is carried on to a considerable extent, not only in the county above named but in others.

I called on the State Auditor and he informed me that such charges are illegal and should be stopped.
