NORTH CAROLINA.

l like the State in which I live
I call it all my own;
With all it's benefits you can see
You know the State has grown.
I have not told you yet its name,
I am sure that you can guess,
For it is North Carolina State
Because I like it best.

not our intention to pose as prophet but to our way OF think
ing it seems evident that Holmes County farmers will be
compelled to produce all of the feed and food consumed on
the farms and in addition produce all of their work stock, a
few beef animals for sale, a few hogs, poultry and dairy pro-
ducts to supplement the farm income.
One Of the first considerations it would seem would be
that of good pastures and good breeding stock. 1t is SIG
nificant that the most profits on livestock farms are made
by those who keep well bred sires. Holmes county has sew
eral farmers who have followed a system OF farming on the
above basis for a number of years. Among these are victor

the number of dairy cattle available for commercial purposes
is showing a large number of such cattle If sufficient mum
Der are available to support a dairy processing plant one OF

erect and equip a large plant. Ne sincerely hope that TINS
survey will result in this undertaking. We are told that this
company will purchase all kind of farm produce which would
furnish a home market for our farmer friends.

The Supreme Court in Mississippi has sustained the law
tries. In so deciding, the court may have had in mind the
conception that a court i'll passing upon a new law should not
question the wisdom of a statute but consider only its con-
formity with existing law and constitutional provisions.
Indeed. the Mississippi Supreme Court intimated that that
was its position, for in answer to the argument that the law
tended toward socialism, the court replied that if Mississppis
of subsdization Of new industries by bond issues, the counties
were entitled to do SO. The court apparently, and rightly,
felt that it was not it's business to warn the counties OF the
danger of the course and say they should not risk those dan
gers if they wanted.
Perhaps the local governments and the voters Of Missis-
6ippi counties will exercise discretion in the matter of vot-
ing bonds upon themselves to launch new industries. Blinded
by the lureof a new plant and it's payrols. a county may very
easily be led into subsidization Of q doubtful business. In
truth, an industry is not worth much to q community if it has
to be helped out of the public treasury.
In the South we have long been familiar with various me-
thCds used to attract industrial capital. The chief method
has been exemption from taxes for a period: But this me-
thod called for no outlay of money from the taxpayers peck
cts. 1t did not call for any loss of tax revenue. as it simply
provided that new developments should not be subject to tax
for a period.
This Mississippi scheme may work well in a few instances
but it will be a sad day for the South if governmental units
start issuing bonds in competition for new industries. For
such industries are bound to be doubtful from the beginning
The only genuine development is that which is created by and
is responsive to the natural wealth of the community. Indus
trial development cannot be forced beyond a certain Joint.
and the use of sensational and artificial efforts, such as
outright grants of money from public funds, is highly dan
gerous-Birmingham News.

woRKMEN's COMPENSATION Law NEEDED

Passage of a ~workmen's Compensation law is necessary
if industry would flourish in Mississippi
Only two states in the union, Mississippi and Arkansas,
do not have such q law.
Labor. industry and the average citizen are combining
their efforts to promote the passage OF a Workmens Com
pensation Bill at the Legislature. Investigation by the Ch-
liens Committee has brought out these facts. Down IN the
coast country damage suits are so prolific that liability lnsur-
ance is %prohibtive. Contractors in jackson pay around VIZ
per hundred. The consumer pays the bill. 1t must be
added to the cost Of home building.
Nothing would give greater impetus to industrial devel-
opment than the passage OF a Workmen's Compensation BILL
This is not only a matter Of concern to labor but to in
dustry and to the general public. Mississippi wants IN
dustry, but as long as we keep up the present quarantine
against big industries by the lack of q compensation act, they
will avoid making investments in the state.
Points developed by the Citizens Committee are as fol-
lows: The real object of a Workmen's Compensation Law
is to let industry take care of itself and pass the loss and
cost of an accident, along with other losses and costs to the
manufacturers OF a finished product. A manufacturer addS
the cost Of raw materials, labor. wear and tear, and cost OF
breaking machinery, as well as loss by catastrophes. into the
cost Of production. Industrial and commercial concerns pro-
tect themselves, through insurance, from the hazards OF 1re'
tornado, breakdown, ETC. likewise, through insurance in conf
mon law states in most instances they protect themselves
against suits by an injured employee. but only thirty per cert
of the cases are benefits actually received by the employee.
costs and judgments of possible contingent suits and claims.
Workmen's compensation laws provide protection for both
the employee and his employer. The employee is guaranteed
a fair percentage of wages by reason of loss resulting from
an industrial accident. The employer must through self IN
surance or through a duly licensed company. assume payment
of such losses.
Passage of a satisfactory Workmen's Compensation Law
is one Of the most important things the present session can
accomplish for the welfare of the entire state.
We hope the damage suit lawyer racketeers are not
strong enough in this state to keep the legislature from pass
imging a workmen's compensation law.

A secret ballot will be made in

on the cotton produced on land
planted to cotton in excess of the
farm allotment. To illustrate: If
a producer is allotted 100 acres
to plant in cotton and he actual

pay 2 cents per pound on 10 per

AgeLaw Hits Dan
Cupid on Button;
You've Gotta Tell

Cupid stood helplessly by Thurs
day while legal technicalities Great
ed another obstacle in the way OF
more and better marriages in I'm
perial county.
Couples who want marriage IL
censes will have to be exact about
their ages. Coy references to legal
age" and over 2l years are ruled
out by state law. That is almost
as discouraging to Cupid as the
gin marriage law requiring a three
day wait between the filling of the
notice of intention to marry and
the issuance of the marriage license.
Many Imperial county couples skip
the wait by going to Yuma for an
immediate delivery marriage license.
No ages-no marriage licenses is
the rule at the marriage license
bureau in the county clerks office,
County Clerk w. j. McClelland said.
Notices of intention to marry will
not be filed and marriage licenses
will not be issued without the exact
ages of the couples.
.'Of course" McClelland said, I'VE
have no way of checking up on them
if they want to fudge a little on
their ages" That may help Cupid
some.
