GOV. WHITE WRITES ARTICLE

In the April issue of Holland 8, The Magazine of the
South, appears q splendid article about the state of Misss-
slppi written by Hugh White, our governor
The article is headed: mississippi, A Challenge to the
South"
"A single generation ago., writes Governor White,
Mississippi was committed to as economic order as sim.
pie a. it had been for the preceding century. Mississippis
one crop was cotton; its one industry numbering. The states
reputation was that it was backward sunprogressive,' :, o.
most illkerate in regard to scientific agriculture, having al
sessed of an inadequate educational system, and sadly lack.
ing in public services"
Today, the governor points out, the state is engaged
IN building seventeen hundred miles of hard surfaced trunk
line highways, has launched q nationwide advertising cam.
papers are periodically contributing $125, 600 worth OF space
each year-to attract tourists and legitimate industries, ami
to encourage the state human resources by providing op-
portunity Tor young people at home; and Is working to bal
ance agriculture with industry.
He quotes also statistics showing the staggering increase
N Mnsissippi's livestock and other farm production during
the last few years.
Comparing this with Mississippi industry, he points out
that between the last two Federal business censues-those
OF 1883 and l935-Mississippi has been surpassed by only one
other state In the average percentage increase in manufacture
ing establishments, number Of wage earners, amount of wages
the statistics involved.
The article is thoroughly interesting and should be read
by every Mississippian. 1t is a splendid bit of publicity
for our state.
Incidentally, Holland S, in our estimation, is a fiue mag
zine that should be read by every s~outherner.

We can't associate beauty with thieving.
In the past few weeks vandals have stolen shrubs, flow
ers and plants from many homes in Durant.
Eighteen rose bushes were taken in che place, rare plants
in another.
We can't imagine anyone being mean and little enough
to steal flowers and plants that are the pride and joy of
women interested in identifying their homes and gardens in
order to make for a Durant-beautiful.
We can imagine the loving and watchful care these plants
have been given and the ~heartbreak of having ones garden
torn up by one needless of the damage wrought.
If these vandals MUST steal. why don't thew stea, some
thing besides flowers.

CONGRESSMAN wHITT1NaToN

Congressman Bill Wilmington is working industriously
to secure passage of a general flood control bill before adj
journment of this session of Congress, and it looks like he
will succeed in doing SO. In discussing the matter he says:
! am recommending a general flood control bill to
embrace priority projects including protective works
as well as reservoirs in the principal drainage areas
Of the country. The President was sympathetic.
The agencies Of the government involved will be re-
quested to- furnish q revised list Of priority projects
believe q general flood control authorization
will be passed during, the present session.
When Mississippi lost the beloved Congressman Benz.
Humphreys first chairman of the House flood control CON-
Il was believed that the loss was irreparable. His excep-
6onal ability and long service in Congress had given him
great influence.
Today it il evident that no mistake was made when the
delta district sent Bill Wilmington to Congress to take up
the work OF BENZ. Humphreys. He has worked with indie
fatigable energy in behalf Of flood control, not only in the
mississippi Valley, but throughout the nation, and the man.
Tie Of Humphreys fits well on his shoulders.
jackson Daily News
Congressman Wilmington has indeed made an enyiable
record TOR himself in Congress and has done the third dis
trict and himself proud.
In all probability he will find himself unopposed when
next election rolls around. a fitting reward for q Congress-
man who has done his work well.
Editors Note: And now if Congressman Will
will just use his wide influence to get our Hol-
mes County park finished he'll stand in even
more with the voters Of this district, with whom
he already ranks ace-high.

A CODE OF ETHICS

handed direct answer. The answer is in
the form of "code of ethics just adopted

The code, which will be submitted

to assure continued progress toward bet

By assuming leadership to raise in

Those who speak of free competi

economic activities wherein such a condi-

In fact, as C. F. Hughes recently
pointed out in the New York Times,
there is scarcely a market of any i'm
portance which is not tied up with gentle
mems agreements %. He adds, that it is
not the government alone that is receiv-

it gets its price and is not attracted to-

GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS
From the New York Tines

from the New York Times)
Not very long ago President Roosevelt said
that the recovery of business during his first
Administration was not the result of pure
chance or mere turn of the wheel in cycle:
we planned it that way and don't let anybody
tell you differently"
Confronted now by the fact that very sub
stantial recession of business has taken place
he has quoted an economist to the effect that
"the continuance of business recovery depends
far more upon business policies than it does
upon anything that may be done, or not done in
Washington" According to tins reasoning. when
business is good. the Government deserves the
credit and when business is bad the fault lies
with business.
Government policies have raised production
costs, and now propose to raise them more. Gov.
eminent taxes have prevented the blowing back
Of earnings into new equipment which would
lower prices and widen the market for produc-
ton. Government deficits have aroused feal
oof still higher taxes than those which now pre-
vail Government competition has discouraged
