Newer crops, such as soy beans and tung nuts for oil,
are bringing in other manufacturers.
Financial interests, railroads and other organlza-
tons are also doing their best to merchandise the indus
trial advantages Of the South. The Commonwealth
& Southern Corporation is doing an outstanding JoD OF
searching out prospects, and keeping in touch with bus
mess organizations where inquiries center. In eacn
state where this utility company operates it has an Of
fetal whose business it is to show prospects about and
furnish them with complete details on freight rates, raw
materials, housing, financing, etc. It does not try TO
nut more than one plant in each small town.
For a plant employing around 500, the ideal sized
town is one of 5000 population. Here there will be
around 500 applicants between II and 80 years OF
age. and q third Of these will make good workers.
Some of the arguments for this industrial shirt are
unanswerable. One executive explains that his plant
cut 500, 900 a year off its taxes by moving from new
Jersey to a Southern state. The same move brought
a 40 per cent reduction in heating costs. All year
Most important of all is the lower labor cost. BE-
cause of milder climate, the workers pay less for rent
heat. clothing and food. All this is tough on compel
ing regions but you can't buck geography.
The movement is adding to Southern spending pow
err. In Mississippi, for example, the average cotton
farmer produces four bales OF cotton a year-"orln'
at the present market price, about $l7O. A daugnter
in this family averaging SIP a week in a new lndustriai
plant near by earns 1924 for her years work, over three
times her fathers income from the farm.

The manufacturing of the poppies

the winter months, which in many

Industry Marches South

Led nv almost explosive expansion in Kraft pulp
and paper production, the development OF industry IN
the South has become, in the past few years, a mass
movement with profound implications. This dollar
invasion Of Dixie has gone unnoticed by the older man
ufacturing centers. Yet during 1886 and 1887, two
thirds Of the country's new investments in the process
Enthusiastically and paper, rayon, petroleum refining
heavy chemicals, etc.-have been made in the South.
This establishment of well-diversified industry,
bringing new opportunities for employment to southern
labor, has been aided by an irresistible array OF naturai
advantages and by vigorous promotion programs on
the part of the municipalities, states and Southern Gov
ernors' Conference. This latter aims at regional COOP
Grafton similar to that of the New England Council; It
disclaims depressed labor as an ~inducement, rejects
sweatshop operators, emphasizes the southeast's natu-
raj advantages.
AS an inducement to manufacturers, Mississippi has
passed a new law empowering communities to bond them
selves to buy land. erect buildings, buy equipment for
new industries and even to operate enterprises. In
most cases the buildings will be leased to operating
comprehensive land and building tax exempt for five
years.
The Constitutionality of this law has recently been
upheld in the state Supreme Court, and 60 communi-
ties are now voting on bond issues. Even before the
decision, a dozen similar issues were voted, among them
a $500, 600 loan by Natchez to apply on a factory said
to be designed as a tire plant for q Connecticut Corpo-
ration.
In Louisiana, Governor Leche has reversed the
Misunderstanding policy of his political godfather, Huey
Long. A new constitutional amendment allows 10-year
property-tax exemptions on all industrial construction.
Governor Leche's drive has brought in Sc new plants
which will employ $4,000 persons.
In Alabama, the easygoing old port of Mobile is
in the throes of a boom. Here the Aluminium Company
of America is putting up a plant to cost millions. Ma
tional Gypsum has moved in. A plywood plant has
just been erected, and there is talk of a Maine mill
moving down to make fine paper out of yellow pine.
An Ohio chinaware company has gone to Georgia
to do its manufacturing at the deposits of kaoln (clay)
which for years has been shopped to northern plants.

Mississippi Troffic

Commissioner Clifford Davis of Memphis took occa-
sion q few days ago to compliment Mississippi on Its
recent enactment Of q drivers license law that conforms
to standard. The matter is on that deserves congratu-
lation and the project is one that will work to preserve
lives and property if the authorities hew to the lines
such a law marks out.
The present chances are, too, that the MISSISSIPPI
motorist will have the advantages of sane and adequate
sippi Highway Safety Patrol has been selected with great
care and is now being trained with equal energy, Mis-
sissippi, even as most other Southern states, gets INC
this particular game a bit later. than the national aver
age. but that means we may, if we will, profit by the
experience of other communities not only by emulatlng
their successful procedures but also by avoiding their
mistakes.
Not by any means of the sort that believes anything
and everything can be satisfactorily managed by the
mere passage of a law, we still have an idea the standard
drivers license law is a prerequisite to progressive I'M
provement of motor traffic. At any rate, the American
communities that have q record of steady reduction in
automobile accidents and in the deaths and injuries
caused thereby are those that have had and enforced
the drivers license law. The statistical evidence IS TOO
strong to be resisted in this particular case.
The laws do not, Of course, work any miracle, but
they do afford an opportunity to sift out in due time
the relatively small number of drivers who unfit for the
enjoyment of the privilege of operating automotive We
hicles. These statutes also work well for everybody
in that they impress the need and desirability OF q func-
tioning sense of personal responsibility. mississippi
has q sanely co-ordinated program of highway saftev
az matters stand, one that is comparable IN excellence
to the fine system Of modern highways either built or
building.
