Dogs Are Required To
Be Vuccinuted

A recent bill passed by the Legs
lative bodies of Mississippi require
that all dogs over six months of e
be v~accinated against Rabies with ar
approved vaccine. In view of the
prevalence of this disease in animal
and the likelihood of loss of human
life as a result of being bitten by {
eaid animal, this is indeed a good
law.
There were five deaths from Rabies
CHydrophobia) in this state last year
ell of them preventable deaths; ane
If every dog in the state is giver
this vaccine the number of deaths
will be materially decreased.
During the month of August, DOG
Clinics viii be held in almost ever
community in Holmes county so that
competent veterinarians, licensed ply
sieians, licensed pharmacist, county
agents, Smith-Hughes teachers, H.
censed dentists or other persons wh2
may be granted permission by tha
stole Board of Health can admins
ter the vaccine to the dogs.
Vaccine Stations will be established
IN the county and only those names
above will be able to obtain vaccine
from these stations.
The cost 10 the dog owners is very
reasonable and represents the cost
IF the vaccine and its storage. Tags
nd certificates Of vaccination viii
be furnished free and the tag must
he attached to the dogs collar. AT
ter a reasonable length of time all
dogs not bearing a vaccination tag
will be destroyed.
1t is the duty of every citizen, to
cooperate with the Health Depart
ment and the law enforcement Off
GERS in seeing that this Law is n
forced.
Respectfully.

sonal property used in the home and
on the farm.
Z. Worst OF all, and including all
the others, the enactment of this pre-
posal will necessarily place many
restrictions on local government. The
people of any county, any municipal
ity, any district should have the right
TO decide for themselves both the
quality and quantity of local govern
ment services they want and are will
ing to pay for. This is impossible
Of the state is to furnish a substan-
tial part of the revenue. The state
will always have the power to say
how much money will be furnished
10 any county, municipality or dis
trict. The people of the county, mu-
nicipality or district must take what
the state offers, not what the people
may want and need. In other words,
local community needs and services
will be determined not by
ity people, but by some state board
or commission.
s. The truth is, tax exemption is
at the bottom of a lot of our reve-
nue. troubles. Much property has
been exempted by law. When one
class of property or group of people
is legally exempted from paying taxes
some other class of property or group
of people must pay for the cost of
governmental services. Instead of
trying to find more persons and prop
erty to exempt from taxation, why
not make taxation uniform and
equal throughout the state as re-
quired by Section 112 of the Missis-
sippi Constitution?

The Dividing Line

This jingle sounds a good deal like one of the late
Walt Mason's rhymes in prose. Picked up from ex-
change where no credit was given it has a deep grain
of truth:
mo one is beat till he quits; no one is through till
he stops. No matter how often he drops, a fellows
not down till he lies in the dust and refuses to rise.
Fate can slam him and bang him around, and
batter his fame till he's sore, but she never can say that
he's down while he hobs up serenely for more. a
fellows not dead till he dies, not beat till he no longer
tries
That Just about tells the difference between sue
cess and failure. The experience of the man who
achieves something worthwhile and the one who lets
adversely break him are usually about the same.
Life is a series of ups and downs and true greatness
comes in not staying down. Contrary to populer belief
few people are born with the proverbial silver spoon
in their mouth. And few are able to keep climbing
right up the ladder Here and there will be some very
difficult rounds to grasp and quite often there is a
slip down a number of rungs that have to be mounted
again, perhaps more than once.
There is always hope for the man who never gives
up. Likely he will not reach the heights to which
he aspires but so long as he keeps trying to climb he
will will make some progress. He won't wind up a
bum or a suicide, which is quite often the fate of the
faint-hearted. There is nothing so pitiful as the man
who has lost all hope and ambition He has doomed
himself to failure.

"And yet, the success of these same farmers means
your success. Did you ever think about that? Here

trio fixtures and things like that but is your market to

that they had located in that town because they thought
1T was a good place for a rake-off; a good place to do
a little Swimming of the cream from the milk the farmer
brought to town.
You have a shirt factory here, they tell me-" he
SAID. How many year free taxes did you promise to
get them here? You are very conscious of the shirt
factory, because they have a payroll, but how conscious
are you of the farmer who was here before you came
She farmer who made this town possible? What have
you done for him besides charge him all the traffic

way Get his fertilizer a little cheaper or a loan at

Discriminatory Freight Rates


The brightest thing on the southern business front
at this time is the prospect of getting discriminatory
freight rates lifted
Ever since the War Between the States southern
business and industry has suffered because of high
tariffs and discriminatory freight rates directed against
it by the Federal government through political parties
and Interstate Commerce Commissions.
No fair minded citizen of any section can see why
it should cost more to ship goods out of the south than
into it. Nor can he see why it should cost more to
ship goods from one southern point to another than
it does to ship the same distance in the east.
The theory of the north which opposes the pro-
posed adjustment in the rates is that it must have spe-
cial consideration to overcome the laws of nature and
economics. 1t overlooks the fact that for years its
industries have thrived due to the special favors ac-
corded. it since the War Between the States.
The south has been slowly but surely waking up
to these facts for more than ten years now. The fight
they have waged for this time is now beginning to see
some results.
The south will keep on fighting these unjust freight
rates until equality is achieved. if it takes a hundred
years.

South Is Guinea Pig

The south is to be the guinea pig in President
Roosevelt's National Emergency Council setup. The
south will be the subject of the Councils first study.
A report on the economic condition of this section mas
been asked by the President.
A group of 20 prominent southern citizens has been
appointed as an advisory committee in preparing the
southern study on the basis of government information
already compiled.
Topics to be reported on include industry owner
ship, Indigenous industry, labor and employment re,
lief, taxation, credit, farm ownership and income SOL
erosion and flood control, land use, tone crop farming
and the like), capital resources, education and housing,
population trends, women and children in industry ana
health.
L. O. Crosby, Picayune lumberman, is the only MIS-
sissippian on the commission
It is to be hoped that this commission of highly
intelligent men put in this report going to the President
their own knowledge and understanding of this section
of the country, its people and their problems. If they
don't it will be worthless.
We wouldn't give two cents for any report gotten
up by government authorities on the south.

Diversificution Great Need

Faced with a short cotton income due to low prices,
oyer-supply and reduced acreage, progressive farmers
of the south are turning to cover crops, food and home
gardens, this year as never before, according to au-
thorities.
These farmers are growing enough hay and corn
to feed their stock. Their gardens contain more than
enough food to carry their families through the winter
months. Their smokehouses are full of meat.
More foodstuff is being canned by farm wives and
daughters this year than ever before and indications
are that most farm families will have ample food for
the winter even if his pockets should be a little short
of cotton cash
Breeding and growing of livestock is up this year
in Mississippi. Mississippi farmers have increased
Their hogs 10 per cent and beef cattle more than seven
per cent.
The more the farmer lives at home the more ample
will be his income. Already educated to the fact that
one-crop means disaster more often than prosperity these
southern farmers are taking advantage more every year
OF the scientific knowledge available on farming.
And in the measure they employ these scientific
methods in that measure will come their prosperity.
