Engineer Explains
Unit System
County Saves Money
By Installing Unit
System In Buying

Joe Shepherd, Yazoo City, gave
an interesting discussion on the
unit system of buying for counties
in road work at the Tuesday meet
ing of the Lexington Rotary Club.
MI. Shepherd explained that
new system whereby one man
does all the buying is in its first
year in Yazoo county but indica-
tions are that it will save the
county thousands of dollars on
the purchase of materials and par
ticularly heavy equipment.
He pointed out the saving on
grader blades and creosoted lum-
Der as two major items on which
great savings nave been effected.
Grader blades heretofore have
cost the county SLAB per foot but
now cost only 81 cents, saving the
county seven Thousand dollars On
a carload lot.
Yazoo county had been pay
ing from $3.50 to $40 for creo-
soted lumber, he said, and was
getting culls. Now they are get
ting first grade materials for
around $l34.
This system cuts the small store
owners out and they don't like
it, he said, but the officials are
able to build more and better
bridges and repair bills have been
reduced by fifty per cent.
This information given by va
zoos county engineer was receiv-
ed with great interest by the Ro-
tarians and their guests who
were: Butler T. Moore, guest of
Herman Flowers; w. w. Wynn,
guest of A. P. Carroll; Trent Van
dergrif, guest Of Reggie Williams;
Sterling Crawford, guest of Will
Barrett; DIR. c. E. Patton, presi-
dent of the Durant Rotary Club,

Hazel
EYES

A recent edition Of the Birm-
ingham (Ala.) News carried a re-
production of a large map of that
industrial city which had all vital
industries in the area heavily en-
circled. Finding of the map in the
home of a man accused of being
a communist, has raised a regular
storm in Birmingham. The map
was in a chest filled with COM
munist literature.
Certainly the evidence in this
case suggests that communists
are organized to the hilt in this
country that they have &C
cumulated a wealth Of information
on the industries and potential
industrial might Of this country
which will be of great value to
them and communist Russia
should these two countries ever
go to war.
Birmingham police are now
seeking to determine whether or
not there is a fifth column" in
that city.
This Ease seems to be a great
deal more than just a scare" is
most of our citizens have been
inclined to treat such happenings.
Certainly any intelligent citizen
knows there are enemies of this
country within it's borders hard
at work at undermining or seek
ing to undermine, u govern
ment.
John Rankin from Tupelo has
been telling Congress for years
about the communists in this
country - warning congressman
and the people Of the United
States about impending danger.
AS q result he was scorned and
held up to ridicule by unnumbered
thousands including many news
papers - and ignored by others,
But the v~illification did not stop
Mr.. Rankin. He continued single
handedly his efforts to expose the
enemies Of this country and he
alone was responsible for setting
UP on a permanent basis the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities - the committee
which has done more than any
group to expose the communists.
Mr.. Rankin made a statement on
the House floor on August 18th:
Sin my opinion if Marties Dies
(head of the UnAmerican Activi-
ties Committee) had had the sup
port he should have received our
boys would not be dying in Korea
today, because. Hiss, the man who
sold US out at Yalta, would have
been exposed long before that
calamity occurred"
Mr.. Rankin then called upon
the administration to wake up
and clean house, to fumigate every
agency of the government from
the White House staff to the Blu
reau of the Census.
He said it was not worth any
thing to 60 to Hawaii and pick up
a few communists or drive them
underground if they are going to
be left "in key positions on the
White House staff, or in the De-
partment of State, the Department
of Justice, or any other depart
ment, or even circulating around
the Supreme Court of the United
States" l&1ld
The stand of the congressman
from Tupelo should be not only
applauded but heartily supported
by every representative and sen
ator in Washington it should
be supported so strongly that the
President would not dare to dis
miss so lightly the charges that
his administration is riddled with
Reds he would stop speaking
airily of red herrings' and get
to work in earnest to ferret out
these enemies within gates
and see they are dealt with Sc
verely.
The American people are in no
mood for such a frivolous attitude
in the White House at this time.

"The good effect of swimming
on the health of those who engage

proportion? Of course not. Not sven you,
Sir, can make such a statement.
Therefore, from whatever angle you
may care to look at this sad situation. the
WORKING PEOPLE DID TAKE A WAGE
CUT IN THEIR REAL WAGES, in their
take-home pay. True, they are receiving
more dollars than ever before. But the
question is, How much does a dollar buy
today in relation to what it bought when
OPA was still fighting for its life against
Mr.. Taft's wrecking activities? Not very
much. For example - just to cite one
fact - steak today is more than double in
cost what it was in 1945.
You don't believe this means a real
WAGE CUT for the working people, Sir?
Just ask any housewife and see what
answer you'll get.
X 4 4
OF COURSE, there was a reason behind
all of Taft's activities. Taft, a true
servant of his Big Business colleagues, be-
lieves in HIGH PROFITS. He said so
many times. He says so now.
'No, no; / am not Directing to profits"
Taft said to a enate committee on March
16, 1914. 81 am only objecting to saying.
Well, you are making too much profit"
How much is ito much? We don't
know, for Taft never told us. But we do
know that despite his talk about support
ing" the legislation on excess profits tax,
Taft voted AGAINST the excess profits
tax bills on Sept. IA, 1910 and he voted
against a similar measure on Aug. rs, 1914.
There you have part of the record, Sir.
We may have occasion to give you some
more of Mr.. Taft's record as we progress
in this election campaign. We shall do that
to render a service to our people - the
common people of America. For we feel
certain that once Taft's record - his real
record - becomes known to the voters
of our state, lone but the outright sup
porters of Big Business will vote for him.
Taft has done enough damage already. He
should be eliminated and his place taken
by Mr.. Joseph Ferguson who has always
been on the opposite side of Mr.. Republic
can and - therefore - on the side of the
common people.
Now, Sir, since we have given you the
FACTS relating to Mr.. Taft's WAGE
CUTTING and PROFIT HIKING activi-
ties, what are you going to do with them?
