there are codes using even plain

to be the most difficult to break

nothing which would give the Gov

Snider Heard Over
WREC On Friday
Condidute For Governor
Cites Average Income

Clarksdale, Miss, July 1.-Leuten.
an4~Governor J. B. Snider, candidate
for Governor of Mississippi, cited to
the people of this state in a broad
cast over Station WREC at Memphis,
Friday, that we have the lowest In
comes per capita of any state in the
union, and that he will, If elected,
do something about it."
Declaring that average farm fam,
lily in Mississippi exists on an in
come of $500 a week, while the heav-
lest taxes in the nation are applied
to their properties, Mr.. Snider said
that this matter sis simply an indict-
ment against our states government"
1t is for this reason, according to
the Clarksdale publisher, that 100000
boys and girls, educated at the ex-
pense of this state, have left its
confines within the past IS years.
1t is significant that these boys and
girls created a greater wealth than
that of the State of Mississippi to-
day.
Mr.. Snider appeals to the common
sense of an intelligent people in this
state, by presenting a platform of
conservation of natural resources, re-
forestation, labor compensation, and
the keeping at homo Of our youth
through the creation Of new jobs at
worthwhile salaries, as the keynote
of his campaign for governor of this
state.
II elected, he promises that he will
work tirelessly toward this end. His
fearless attitude has brought about a
general trend of understanding by
both industry and labor, and many
are outspoken in their belief that Mr..
Snider will draw a heavy vote from
the little" man when the August
Democratic Primaries are held in
Mississippi.
He also declared that freedom from
poverty would be secured for our
people by the enactment of a fair
Workman's Compensation Act Sni-
der stated that If railroads opposed
such an act they would be exclud ed
from the law and that ne would not
sign such a bill unless il was fair
to both the industries and to labor
He said that he thought the people
affected should be the ones to de-
eide whether such a law was neces-
sary and that since both the indus
tries and labor wanted it there was
no reason for any one else to oppose
it-and that no one else was oppos
ing it except a selfish group of dam
age suit lawyers.

we cut the appropriations to the
charity hospitals maintained by this
state for the use and benefit of the
poor people unable to pay for hos
pital treatment and service.
Yes, we balanced the budget'-at
the expense of suffering humanity"
Conditions now existing in the five
charity hospitals of the state, Judge
Johnson declared, constitute dis
grace to our state"
He declared that the charity hos
pital at Laurel, as well as the one
at Jackson, has been condemned by
grand juries which found them in
tested with bed-bugs.
1.-The good people down at Laurel
became aroused over the situation
and solicited bed clothing and cotton
for the states charity hospital" ne
said. They also got five bales of
cotton which was used to make new
mattresses to replace the old ones
which were horribly infested with
bed-bugs. 1t is a horrible indictment
against great state like Mississippi
that such conditions should exist"
Judge johnson in closing, said that
the present trend in industry was
toward employment of younger men
and that it was practically impos-
sible for a man to find employment
after 40. He stated that because o.
this trend in industry it was in
creasingly evident that some provis-
ion must be made for people in their
old days. He said that he was in
favor of dollar a day pension fol

ment that lack Of money never made
money" Judge johnson stated that
he had been ridiculed the state over
for his efforts to do something for
the old folks.
He concluded by saying the money
for these pensions will have to be
paid out of the tax money just like
every other appropriation is allow
ed for. He said that a dollar just
had to be turned over fifty times to
make tax dollar and that it would
cost twenty million dollars for these
pensions. If this amount of money
is put into circulation in the state
of Mississippi it will be turned over
fifty times or more to make that
many more tax dollars to foot the
bill with. Every business man in
the state and every farmer in turn
will feel the benefit OF it.
Judge johnson was honored with
a large following of friends and SUP
porters from over the county in at
tendance and expressed himself as
being well pleased with his splendid
reception here.
