State Compensation
Commission SetUp

jackson, Dec. 30.-With other
states rushing to enact unemploy-
ment compensation laws before
the end Of the year, Chairman
Leon L. Wheeless was able to
point today to seven months OF
satisfactory operation which
I he Mississippi Unemployment
Compensation Commission has
had since it was set up In June. !,
The Commission has issued GER
|tifificates to 1920 business firms,
each having eight or more en-
|ployees, and insurance contribu-
tons to date at the jackson
headquarters total $419,333.24.
Payments for October, November,
and December, none OF which
have yet become due, are expect
ed to bring the total approx
|mately to $650,000. In passing
the state unemployment compen-
station law during 1886, Mississip-
|pi saved this entire amount Tor
its .jobless citizens without in
~creasing the net tax liability OF
the states employers. Contribu-
tons paid to the Commission will
be deductible when the first I'M
employment compensation tax be-
comes payable to the federal
governments Jan. 31.This tax
will be one per cent of the pay
lroll of firms employing eight or
more persons, regardless OF
whether their states have passed
unemployment compensation laws.
Mississippi is also in OPPOSITION
to reap benefits from provisions
lin the federal Social Security Act
flor old age, mental care, crippled
children, public health, and voca-
|tional rehabilitations; but Chair
man Wheeless emphasized that
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission will have no part in
administering these phases of the
Act. "A great many persons,
who have not yet become familiar
with the administration of the Act
are coming to us for information
regarding parts of the Social Sc
curity program with which we
have no direct connecticut" he
said. "The Unemployment Com

New Year Brings
Bright Outlook
ABUNDANT FOOD AND FEED
MEAN CUMULATIVE
PROSPERITY.

Bells that herald the coming
of a New Year, while marking
the close of one of the most sue
cessful twelve-month periods IN
State IS history, serve also to an
nounce the beginning of a new era
which may be even more pros
porous and successful, thinks j.
C. Holton, commissioner Of agrl-
culture.
"The passing of 1886 will be
viewed in a sense of regret, for
it was indeed a good year. A rec
ord cotton crop, normal yields OF
food and feed while the National
supply was reduced, progress IN
livestock development, all con-
tributed to the State farm income
Of some 300 million dollars. Yet
1886 should be but the beginning
Of a more satisfactory more pros
porous era.
"As in the past many millions
of dollars of the farm cash IN
come was necessarily expended
for food and feed. To save these
millions is, in effect, to add that
much to the farm income; and a
more abundant food supply will
come with the added attentions
to orchards, vineyards, gardens
and truck plots.
Mississippi needs a substantial
source of cash income in addition
to cotton. Livestock accounts fol
more than half the productive
wealth of American agriculture
and for Mississippi to largely in
crease her livestock population
would be to add many millions O
dollars to the farm income.

VOTERS C TO VOTE
ON BOND ISSUE TUESDAY
TO DECIDE IF
DURANT HAS INDUSTRY

Tuesday January 5 is the date
selected for the Durant electorate
to decide on the proposed bond
issue for the erection of a build
ing in which to house a hosiery
manufacturing industry.
The question calls for $4,000
bond issue which will necessitate
a 2 mill increase on ad valorem
taxes, or $500 per thousand. The
concern being considered guaran-
tees an annual 100000 payroll and
it is strongly indicated that the
payroll will run $1,000 00 per year
1t is known to be one of the
best industries in the country
from the standpoint of wages
paid and fair and generous treat
ment of its employees. 1t is also
one of the oldest manufacturing
concerns in the country and its pro
ducts are recognized as the highest
grade in it's line.
According to az enactment OF
the state legislature one-half OF
the qualified voters must partlcl-
pate in the forthcoming election.
of the number voting two-thirds
must be in favor Of the question.
Every voter is urged to come out
and express his sentiment.
The NEWS has put its unquali-
fled approval on the impending
issue as being to the best inter-
est of Durant and its people and
respectfully asks that every vot-
er read an editorial elsewhere on
this page regarding same. Re-
eardless of the sentiment of its
readers, however, we ask that
each and every voter come out
Tuesday between the hours Of sew
en- o'clock A. M. and SIX O'Clock
P. M. and express his opinion.
Managers for the election will
be Mrs. w. E. McCune, MISS
Gladys Rhyme, Hal Rhyme, j. W.
Justice and j. A. Ogletree.

E DITO
ELECTION TUESDAY is OF VITA IMPORTANCE
TO Us L

On this coming Tuesday, January s, the voters Of Durant
will have an opportunity to express their sentiment on the
proposed hosiery manufacturing plant for Durant. They
viii decided whether or not the city OF Durant shall float
$3.50 in bonds in order to erect a building to house the pro-
posed industry.
The industry under consideration is known to be one of
the oldest and most reliable concerns in the country Its pro-
duets are the best manufactured anywhere in the world and it
is widely known for fair and generous treatment OF Its en-
ployees. 1t is the highest and most desirable type OF indus
try available TO any city anywhere.
Tho only obligation which Durant will INCUR is the cree
ton of housing facilities. This involves only a very MODEST
sum. The on'- increase will be two mills on ad valorem
taxes. or $500 per thousand on property. The return on this
SLIGHT addition will be SO great that the increase will be
absorbed MANY times in the volumeof business it will bring to
Durant, for the company guarantees a $bOOOO MINIMUM pay
roll per year, and plans a 100000 payroll. inns averages
5000 per month. An additional $4,000 in circulation IN Du-
rant every m~onthwill certainly stimulate business ana MAKE
conditions better for all of us.
The average properly holder might aske where the IN
creased payroll would help him; that he is not in business.
It is a well known fact that the larger volume a merchant mas,
whether ne be grocer, ready-to-wear, or general merchahuse'
the cheaper he can sell his wares to his customers. ioo' &c
can afford increased expansion in lines which ne would oe-
fore be unable to handle. 1t is a known fact that as much
money is spent in Durant an equal amount is spent elsewhere
People excuse themselves for this by saying they could not
obtain the product in Durant. This may De true
sometimes but at the same time they go out OF
Durant to get something they couldn't get here they puy
many things they COULD get here.
The additional business this industry will bring to Du-
rant will help to make it possible for all OF us to do all
our trading at home and spend the money where wehxll have
. chance to get back some of it. A dollar spent elsewhere
does not come back to us nor help us make our city a better
place in which to live.
1t is possible that unless we obtain increased revenue from
some source al. increase Of two mills in taxation will have 10
be made inorder to meet general running expenses OF the city.
Should this happenwe will have a slight increase and nothing
whatever to show for il. However, with the proposed INDUS
try going through we will have a constant return week by
week on our small investment-for investment 1t surely IS ana
a safe one.
One-half Of the qualified electors are required to vote, ac
cording to the industrial law enacted by the legislature. VI
the one-half voting, t~wothirds must approve the ssue. The
NEWS is Of the opinion that well overtwothirds of them on
next Tuesday will put their stamp of approval on this question
which is of vital Importance to our community and its people

KNOCK
KNOCK
BY Hazel Brannon

\. We hope that on next Tuesday
every qualified voter in Durant
will come out and vote on and
for the proposed industry for Du-
rant. Fifty percent Of the quail
fled voters are required to vote in
the election and Of those voting
two-thirds are required to vote for
the issue, according to the indus
trial law enacted by the last leg
islature. ~.
: We believe that no person
knowing the true facts OF the
situation here in Durant could be
against the issue. Briefly, the
city has an opportunity of in
vesting $25, 900 in a building in
which to house an industry which
guarantees to bring into Durant
a payroll Of $1,000 per month or
$4,000 per year; furthermore in.
dications point strongly to its pay
roll being around 100000, or al
most double the guarantee.
The fact that the industry un'
der consideration is one Of the
highest type in the entiie indus.
trial world adds prestige to its
on some unknown or unreliable
guarantee We are not gambling
concern, but with n OF the old
est most established businesses II
the country whose products arr
known to be the best in thu
world.
With an additional payroll OF
$4,000 in circulation we will SCI
better business conditions here
than we have had In severai
years.
Many towns in Mississippi
would probably give much more
than housing facilities to get such
an industry. The fact that Du
rant enjoys one Of the best loca-
tions geographically and the fact
that we have natural gas are ths
Uerefmiffing factors in Duran'
having the opportunity to get al
industry Of this type. Everybod.
