sister Funk, brother Walsh and other imported

AWdking TO Better Things

SoUTHERN STATES are rapidly drifting from
~ an almost purely agricultural basis to one OF
There is no other transformation in American in
dustry that promises more for the future prosper.
ity of the nation. 1t has been repeatedly said that
the willingness Of the south to remain a farming
section was Its greatest curse. Slowly but stead.
lily the south learned OF its possibilities along the
line OF manufacturing. and in recent years produc.
tion of manufactured goods has increased at a
rapid pace.
II is noteworthy that during consideration OF the
tariff bill in the recent session of congress, nu-
.merous southern organization endorsed protec.
tive rates. This is a comparatively new attitude
for a southern organization to take. Nevertheless.
it is apparent that southern statesmanship has
not kept step with southern business acumen, for
southern members of both houses of congress were
almost unanimous in voting against the protective
tariff bill on its final passage. Southern polit.
icians, like many southern journalists, stubbornly
adhere to outgrown economic theories. Their eyes
are upon the past rather than upon the future.
In many respects the south Is peculiarly endow.
ed with resources which promise a marvellous de-
Ivelopment. The south has coal; 1t has almost every
form of raw material; 1t has abundant used water
power; it has facilities for domestic and trans
oceanic shipping. These, among other advantages.
have resulted In a great growth of textile manu-.
featuring until today one-half of the cotton goods
manufactured in the United States are produced in
the south.
In years gone by the southerners have been con.
tent to produce a few food products and cotton
which they often sold at ruinous prices, while they
bought their manufactured goods from the north
or from foreign countries. That policy kept the
south impoverished The want of factories limited
the market for the products of the farm. With the
establishment and extension of manufacturing in.
dustries and the consequent building up of a larg.
er town population, there viii be a nearer, a more
constant, a more dependable and & more, profit.
able market for the products of agriculture.
These are facts which no Thoughtful southern
business man will question. Yet his representa-.
tiyes in congress oppose the protective tariff which
helps to build up American MANUFACTURER and pro
pose In case the congress shall once more become
Democratic to repeal the protective tariff recent.
" enacted. This should be kept in mind by every
southerner when he goes to the polls in November.
The voter who wishes the south to be selfreliant in
industry and who wishes to keep In his own section
OF the country money heretofore sent outside to
purchase manufactured goods, should take care to
mark HIS ballot for a eandidat. who is expressly
and unqualifiedly pledged to the support Of a tar.

DID YOU EVER let your house for two seasons
~ to tenants who did not keep 1t at all as you
would have kept it? When they vacated the prop
erty, did you find holes in the plaster, floors mar.
red, woodwork scratched, wallpaper torn, the fur.
mace rusted. the plumbing clogged. corners dirty,
the cellar full of rubbish. the shrubbery t~rampled
and the lawn weedyf
II so, you can appreciate somewhat the task
which the Republican party faced when 1t assumed
the responsibility of our government in March,
1921.
Things needed housekeeping. overhauling and
reconstructing. We were in disrepute with our
neiRh5ors. Waste, extravaganza and inefficiency
had piled up an enormous war debt. Our burden
of taxation was distressing. A host of immigrants
was coming in to eat the bread which should be
long to the children. Unemployment, no markets
bankruptcy and panic added to our miseries. Inter
ference and patcrnalism made business afraid 10
expand. There was no confidence nor stability,
and the soil was fertile for the radicaIism which
sprang up and endangered our industries.
The war had been over for twenty-four months
Had the Democratic party made any attempt to
clean up the debris! As conditions grew worse
all IT did was to acknowledge and bewail."
The prospect was not a pleasant one; but the
party Of Lincoln, which had readjusted q chaotic
world after one war, rolled up its sleeves and
plunged into the Herculean task.

DEMOCRATIC brethren are having a hard time
~ deciding inst where to stand on the question
of deflation- When it was first charged that the
Wilson administration had precipitated d~eflation,
the charge was vehemently denied by high author
tiles.
Then a few weeks later 1t was asserted BY an
equally high Democratic authority that the only
mistake was that the administration did not start
the deflation sooner. Now a new position is taken.
1t is charged that the d~eflation. which was pre-.
~clpitated several months before the Republican ad.
mlnistration came into power, was brought about
by Republicans.
However, there will be no possibility of remoy.

INVENTORY or RESOURCES WILL
AID THE STATE HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT GREATLY
FACTS AND DATA SOUGHT
knder Constitution. The State Is Sole
Owner OF All Gravel And Sand
Found In Streams And Bod
les OF Water In The State

Baton Rouge, La-Steps have been
taken by Governor Parker to assemble
all information obtainable concerning
the available supply Of roadbuildlng
material in Louisiana.
The purpose Of the governor in
assembling this information is to IA
cilitate the work of the new high.
way department and to enable the
Legislature to define the policy OF
the state in dealing with the Ques-
ton OF roadbuilding material.
Facts and data sought by the gov
ernor will be in the nature of a sur
vey or inventory Of highway con-
struction supplies. 1t will take In
all classes of material, such as grav-
ell, rock and shells, as well as rock
and shale that will make cement.
The survey will show the loca-
tions, quantity and quality of the
materials and the proximity to rail
and water transportation.
"One OF the important reasons for
assembling this information" Cover
nor Parker said, lis that it will show
the proximity of material to the high
ways to be built and maintained.
When suitable material is available in
q section where a highway is to be
built, it is good business and COM
mon sense to use material In that
locality, when it comes up to require
ments, instead Of making a long haul
and piling up freight charges. With
this information assembled in proper
form, the state will be in position
to construct and maintain highways
1T q minimum Of cost"
The constitution authorizes the
state to appropriate property in or
der to secure material for roadbuild-
ing purposes.
Information will be sought by the
governor from the different state de.
partments and subdivisions and from
citizens generally. When the Legis
lature assemblies, all facts obtained
by the governor will be laid before
that body.
Fred ]. Grace, register Of the state
land office, said the state owns large
quantities Of roadbuilding material
consisting mainly of gravel and sand
within the banks and beds of streams
| and bodies Of water. Under the con
stitution the state is the sole owner
