FIRST CAMPAIGN MEETING
IN COLUMBIA TUESDAY

The following is taken from The
State of Wednesday:
George X. Laney, of Chesterfield,
prefaced his remarks with a brief
statement that he was brought out by
i no clique and was the creature of no
machine. Pm free lance in this race
just as l have been free lance for
20 years in the two houses of the
general assembly. I'm tied to no man
or woman he said.
"Mr. Laney made vigorous speech,
stressing with particular emphasis
measures looking to relief in taxation
and the enforcement of laws. The
condition of the people was not in
cident to. the legislature. No think
ing man would blame the legislature
for the financial straits in which the
people found themselves. 1t is due to
the war, followed by the stern reali-
ties of defation.
"Mr. Laney pointed to measures
which the last general assembly had
passed in effort to distribute the bur-
den of taxes. He called attention to
the state income tax, inheritance tax
and gasoline tax measures. The trou-
BILE was there was too much tax of Wis
ible property, real estate and person
al property. IF succeeding general
assemblies continue this effort to tap
hitherto untouched sources the time
will come when a levy on this for
state purposes will not be necessary,
thus leaving such levy wholly for
county purposes he said. The thing
that is needed, he said is reclassifca-
tion. Mr.. Laney has faith in the abili-
ty of the people to meet the present
crisis, and believes that they will
weather the economic storm as they
have overcome hardships of other
years.
None Would Reduce
directing attention to the fact that
the larger amounts in the appropria-
ton bill are for the school, the Con-
federate veterans and the State Hos
pitai, Mr. Laney argued with telling
force. Following each citation, he
would inquire if there were a man
or woman in the audience who would
cut this amount: Not hand was
raised.
"The Chesterfield candidate made
bold to assure that if elected there
would be strict enforcement of the
laws. Il favor the enforcement of
law. Without the enforcement of law
our firesides are not safe, life, liberty
and property are not safe and civil
ization will vanish. l tell you | will en-
force the law and the people who
know me know that will have been
in the legislature 20 years. They know
me. Ask them" "

| in 1878 was admitted to the practice
| of law. Mr.. McIver served as secre-
tary to Representative Hemphill in

RELIEF CAMP PAIGV
 PROVING A SUCCESS
s. M. Davidson Reports Satislac, tory Progress for Raising S15,000

The Jews of Connecticut have been called upon 10 raise $25o, 900 between February 1 9th and March 4th for the relief of the unfortunate Jewish popn- ation of eastern Europe $l5,oOo Is New Britain's quota Of $l4,oOo,ooO national fund now being gathered Tor this work. Chicago has already con tributed 32,00O,0 ,0O0 and $l ,00o, ,00o was recently raised in Philadelphia in one week.
 The greatest Jewish tragedy since the dispersion Is being enacted in eastern Europe today. The major DOT ton of the 13,0OO,OoO Jews in Europe live in this area, where the great war left the normal fabric Of life in q state of dissolution, and nationalist struggles, civil strife, drought, famine and pestilence have completed the ruin. During the past few years Of chaos and disruption, hundreds or thousands of Jews have perished and hundreds of thousands more have been reduced to the last stages of destination and hardship.
 3OO.OOO Jewish Orphans
 There are 100000 helpless Jewish orphans in eastern Europe whose parents have been slain in the wars or pogroms or have perished from starvation or disease. There are 400 o0O Jewish refugees driven fIom their homes by violence and famine, scores of thousands of them living a fugitive existence in the open fields and forests.
 A Splendid Charity
 The Jewish relief funds of $l4,- 100000 of which $15,000 is the city's quota, is a minimum fixed by careful estimates to meet the bare needs of the situation. The money will be used to care for the Jewish orphans abroad, to repatriate the refugees and aid them in getting a new start in life in their own countries, to utilize eH- isting loan agencies and cooperatives to enable the destitute artisans, small merchants and farmers to get fresh start, to stamp out pestilence in stricken districts, to re-establish faci- lities for sanitation and education in communities disrupted by wars and civil struggles.
 Since 1914 the Jews of America have contributed 441,nno,ooo 10 suc- cor their co-rersgionists in Europe. The money has been raised by the American Jewish relief committee, the Peoples relief committee, and the central relief committee, and distrib- uted by the joint distribution commit tee. The present fund raising effort is being conducted by all three relief agencies in cooperation.
 Director Is Pleased
 In New Britain the committee is very much encouraged by the work thus far accomplished. $. M. David son, managing director of the drive, is reporting large subscription to the fund and Louis R. Raphael, chair man of the executive committee will report at the next meeting which will take place at the office of the chair man. M. D. Sake. Thursday evening at 8 o'clock.
