LEGISLATURE HELPS STATES
BID FOR INDUSTRIAL GAINS

Mississipprs bid for Industrial
and business development was
given . healthy boost BY the 1913
Legislature, which enacted laws
designed to encourage the estab-
lishment of new industries In the
state and to aid those already In
existence
Many OF the new statutes. rang.
ing from . workmen's compensa-
ton law to exemptions to certain
industries from ad valorem taxes.

ed under provisions Of the states

Industry Program begun in 1896
and revived after the war. Other
bills, aimed at aiding Mississippi's
agricultural Advancement, were
also passed during the recent leg.
islative session
WOrkmen's Compensation
Listed by both Legislators and
industry heads as one of the most
important actions of the 194S SEES
sion was the passage OF q work
mems compensation law. Its en-
actment marks the end Of . 20.
year effort BY both management
and labor to secure such q meas
ure. The new law Is considered to
b one Of the most outstanding Of
its kind, Incorporating the best
features OF similar laws pIevious-
~ passed BY other states. Compen-
sation provisions are reported to
be among the most liberal Of any
such law already in existence. Pri-
or to enactment Of the measure,
Mississippi was the only state in
the nation which had NO work
mems compensation law.
The solons also gave their
stamp of approval to an amend
ment to the Mississippi Unemploy-
ment Compensation law which
provides q more equitable assess
ment rate for industries and other
businesses in the state employing
eight or more persons. One provi-
sion Of the amendment sets up q
lower assessment rate for those
employers whose personnel turn
over rate is low and for those who
have no seasonal employment. An
other provision increases the laws
cOverage or low income employees.
Nitrogen Plant
OF importance to the farmers of
the state was $4,000 appropri-
alton to the State Marketing Com
mission to be used for an educa-
tional and promotional program
with regard to building a nitro
gen plant in Mississippi. The pro
posed plant would cost $4,000,
900 and would supply farmers In
the state with badly-needed anhy-
drous ammonia and ammonium
nitrate fertilizers. The plant cost
will be financed through the offer
ing of stock to Mississippi farm
ers and will help ease the acute
shortage of nitrogen ertilizers
which now exists and which az.
r:cultural experts agree will last
for approximately another ten
years.

books-"Our Plundered Planet" by
Fairfield Osborne and Road to
Survival" by William Vogt.
Our friend Neanderthaler proba-
bly, managed to stick around 200, 900
years or so before his environment
or his neighbors finished him off.
Today we are rapidly chang
ing our environment, and un-
less we cease destroying our
sources of food and shelter. we
shall soon destroy ourselves, as
our sub-human friend was de-
strOyed.
We know that there are two things
which chiefly distinguish man from
the animal: The way he has oe-
veloped the use of his hands and the
way his brain works. But our hands.
at the levers of machines, conceived
by our brains, have so disturbed
the cycle of nature, have done such
terrible things to all forms of life,
that they may prove our undoing-
if they don't blow us into atomic
eternity, first!
Forgetting atomic destruction,
let's look at some others.
We are very good at repro
ducing. In three centuries the
population of the earth has in
creased almost five times. In
the seventeenth century there
were 400 million people. There
are 1000 million today. Five
times as many mouths to feed.
Osborne says: If one takes four
billion acres, representing an area
of land estimated as now available
for cultivation, it means that there
are less than two acres per capita
Contrasted with this is generally
accepted computation that two and
one-haIf acres of land of average
productivity are required to provide
even a minimum adequate diet for
each person."
Think of that: 1t takes two and
one-half acres to feed you properly.
There are now only two acres avail

tie is left disappears in disposal
plants or goes back to the ocean.
We are killing the soil Gradually
removing it and the tiny animal and
plant cells it contains, and thus de-
stroying the potential for reprodu-
ing the tiny living organisms in the
top soil which are a part of the re-
lationship of all living things.
1 haven't space to go on, but l
don't want to leave on a too-de-
pressing note. It's true that our
friends. Mr. and Mrs. Neanderthal-
er, the sub-human folk with the lit
tie brain, couldn't take it. But we
can hope that his successor, Mr.
Cro-Magnon, who had better brain
than we have, passed some of it on
to us, with the spark of something
else that made him lift his chin a
little from the clod.
9We have been taught to lift ours
higher, to the heavens. There's hope
up there-and inspiration-and. with
in ourselves the power, too, if we
know how to use it.
