ALL SALARIES RAISED

At meeting of the city commisslonefs this week it was ordered that the sala- ries of all city employees be raised about 10 per cent, but policemen got an increase of only s5 per month. They were paid $50 heretofore, and are wondering what in the world they are going to do with all that extra money. The increase in salary is generally indorsed by the tax payers, as they appreciate the fact that the cost of living is twice what it was a year or two#ago.

CONNER SAYS HE
 DIDN'T ORIGINATE
 REFERENDUM VOTE
Urged to Enter Race for GOvernorship, Tells Friends He Was Not Born Early
 Enough-Not Yet Thirty

Jackson, Miss, October 24.-(SpeciaL) sennett Conner, speaker of the Missis- sippi legislature, is out in a cirpular letter defending himself from the charge that the initiative and refer endum vote asked of the people at the November election was started by him. Under this the constitution would be SO amended as to permit men of 2l years of age to hold the office of gov ernor, whereas now the governor of Mississippi must be 30 years of age.
 The mistake, if mistake it be, was very natural MT Conner has been men, toned seriously as candidate for gov ernor. The great majority of the mem bers of the legislature appealed to hlhl to offer for the place, but he told them he was mot born quite early enough Tn life" Meantime, it has been under stood that Mir. Corners father, wealthy lumberman of Covington coun- ty, was behind the movement to nave the age limit reduced to 21 years.
 Tn his circular letter MT. Conner directs attention to the fact that at least. 10 states have made the young man eligible to hold such offices Massachusetts, Ohio, Kansas Wisconsin, Florida and others, and offers proof to show that young men have frequently held high and important offices and made good. For instance, he says, Ma poleon wrote a new constitution TOT France before he was 30; William Pitt was cabinet minister at 23, and served six years as prime minister Of Great Britain before he was 30; Patrick Henry was the idol of the people before he was 30, and recognized IS the greatest s,-y " into at
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-25
PEOPLE TO DECIDE

Mir. Conner closes with this shot at his traducers:
 "The amendment is one question, to be decided by the people upon the broad ground of principle and policy. The election of governor is entirely an independent problem. I am confident the voters will consider the proposed change without bias or prejudice; and I am also confident in these trying times, they are going to require that their governor, whatsoever his name or age may be, shall be neither political profiteer nor one saturated With bitter factionalism, nor one whose sole attainment consists in his ability to ride the popularity of another, nor one who has trafficked in public offices and appointments for the furtherance or political schemes or his own political fortunes, nor on. who is totally without experience in public affairs"
 However, there is no reason to believe this amendment will carry.
