annually the fact that the Connectlcul

In 1920. the Journal pointed oul
that Connecticut, through its eclectlc

studied in eclectic medical schools,
and, even worse, was licensing some
men who apparently had not com

Nevertheless, public othciais nave

rather than for their own greed and

The remainder of his speech in
part follows:
Mississippi Faces Crisis.
Mississippi is today going
through one of the greatest crisis
of her history. A most careful
handling of her business interests Is
required. We are passing through
an economical revolution and a SOL
ution of these. economic problems
is imperative. l want to prophesy
here that even with the best of
direction, we shall have heard years
ahead of us. 1t is no time to play
the game of politics. 1t is time
when loyalty to the state rather
than the emolument of humor to
any man should determine political
action.
Before we break sod, let me get
the lay of the land. Let me in
brief terms unfold before you the
actual business and economic con-
ditions of the state.
Il. State and County tax levies
are higher than at any time at any
other period of our history.
50. Taxable valuations have in
creased several fold and are thus
we pay.
80. When the legislature of 1924
meets, there will be a deficit in
our current expense of not less than
five millions of dollars.
a. The state, counties, municip-
alities and districts have issued a
large amount of bonds, on which
interest has to be paid and for the
redemption of which sinking funds
have to be provided. In addition to
the five million dollars heretofore
mentioned, as a deficit in current
expenses, the state owes fourteen
millions of dollars as evidenced by
her bonded Indebtedness.
20. A large part Of our fluid capt.
tai is invested in nOntaXable Sc
curities.
IS. In the last few years the
money we have used in business,
for educational and pleasure and for
other purposes has largely been de-
rived from two sources, money de-
rived from the sale of bonds for
roads, school houses, drainage dis
tricts, and other purposes, and Sec
ond, from our timber products in
some form. 1t is well known that
we have borrowed to the limit, and
that pay day has arrived. 1t is
also known that within a few years
our timber will be exhausted.
81. The above does not take into
consideration large amounts due by
individual citizens to farm banks
and other forms of personal in
debtedneSS.
He Calls One Name.
Mr.. Whitfield said that the last
two legislatures had raised the
state taxes higher than they had
ever been before and asserted that

four men 'spme Of them running

for this. He did not call but one
name in the four, gave the initials
of two and referred to the Fourth
by his official title.
First Of these four is Theo G.

ment rippled in the crowded court
house. "Four years ago he could
have vetoed appropriation bills.
Next is L. M. r., presiding Of

1.-THE Speaker of the House of
Representatives for eight years.
Mr.. Whitfield spoke of the oc-
casion when the state was In debt
and that the NJ. S. G. w. of which
he was president had trouble in
getting money.
81 went to the Legislature ana
worked them out Of the financial
difficulty for the college," said Mr..
Whitfield.
Among the points which Whit
field brought out was that IL he
were governor he would do away
with no office which would impair
the collection of taxes from the tax
dodgers.
He said that he had desire to
head q movement of business men
and farmers to bring about better
mark citing and an exploitation or
Mississippi farm products.
He favored a central purchasing
agency for supplies for the state.
He pledged himself to enforce the
law as chief executive, and said,
''If l am elected governor, / will
not pardon any man who is right
fully convicted for the violation OF
the liquor laws"
He was vigorous in his assertion
that the educational institutions
must be free from politics.
81 pledge myself, if elected, that
I will do all within my power to
remove our educational institutions
from politics. Officers and teachers
in these institutions should De Sc
lected for the service they can rem
der the state and not to promote
the political fortunes of any man
or set Of men. The young men and
young women of Mississippi should
be taught and directed by men and
women of high ideals; those who
can stand before their students the
very embodiment of high service
and most sensitive honor, and not
by those who would become the
willing tool of a political machine
II hereby testify that the attempt
has been made in Mississippi ito
what extent l do not know to
make our colleges mere cogs in a
political machine.
