Paul Johnson Is A Liberal, Coleman A Conservative

Even if tax collections continue to
run ahead, according to our hopes, the
present administration will still end
with only a $1O-12 million cash balance
next June 30th, by the most optimis-
tic standards. In the meantime 1t has
already spent the $34-plus million sur
plus left it by Coleman and added
temporary" taxes on u backs (ciga-
rettes, franchise, etc.,. When the pres
ent regime goes out of office it will
have spent $40 million more in four
years than Coleman did in his four
years as governor. Coleman's budget:
1928 million for the last two years of
his administration; Barn~ett-Johnson:
1887 million.
Regardless of who is elected gov
ernor, it is conceded some way must
be found to secure from $4,000 million
in new money to continue state serv-
ices on the present level. This level
Of services to the people is based upon
receipt of federal funds to the extent
of about Is per cent of the state bud
get. Without federal funds there would
be less money for schools, and very
little money for public welfare and
grants to the aged.)
]. P. Coleman has pledged himself
to keep within our present tax struc-
ture, to economic and tighten our
belts, if necessary. to do so.
eff we can't live within our own
budget then we are no better than the
Federal government which we criticize
for a $500 million deficit" Coleman
avs During his four-year term he
stayed within IL per cent of his estab-
lished budget.
In a desperate effort to win office,
Paul Johnson has made belittling re-
marks and absolutely false statements
about fiscal policies and the surplus
left by Coleman all of which are
oil lllSu1L u tIlC lIllClllSCIlSO VI CIO pOO-
pie of Mississippi. He also has the gall
to falsely claim a $13 million surplus
for his own administration.
We do not believe the people of
Mississippi will be fooled by this at
tempted trickery and false claims. In
stead, they will go to the polls next
Tuesday and thoroughly repudiate the
mar who made them. i,
J.. P. Coleman's conservative and
sound fiscal policies must prevail in
the four years ahead = if Mississippi
is to survive and move ahead. If the
present policies continue our industrial
program is going to be stopped in it's
tracks = and every Informed Missis-
sippian knows it.
A later report from the State
Auditors office Aug. 20) reveals that
Mississippi is now So million in the
red. On Wednesday there was So mil
lion in cash in the banks and SIG mil
lion in outstanding bills. Within a few
days there will be $6.5 million in home
stead exemption money which is sup
posed to be mailed to the counties in
September. (Holmes County receives
about $4,000 per year, payable in
two installments). Where this money
is coming from nobody knows.

Look, At The Record

Lieutenant Governor Paul B. john
son is a Liberal, spelled with a capital
L., under standards proclaimed this
week by his own chief supporter, The
Clarion-Ledger.
And by tie same standards print
ed in the Capital City newspaper, for
mer Governor j. P. Coleman is an arch
Conservative.
An interesting discussion on the
meaning of conservatism by u. S. Rep.
Donald l.. Short of North Dakota in
the Congressional Record was quoted
Tuesday by the Hederman morning
daily in its editorial column.
"a conservative" Rep. Short said
in the Clarion-Ledger editorial, ''is one
who believes it is good to learn early
i'm life the lesson of paying as you go
and going under his own power. A con
~servative believes there is virtue in
conserving, in thrift, in economy; he
does not want his own assets or that
of his neighbor d~issipated. He knows
that if he cannot support himself and
his family, he is an unwholesome drag
on his fellow man. He never asks some4
thing for nothing and he believes in
giving value received"
Rep. Short defined a liberal as one
who is Invariably liberal with the
money, the property, and the effects
of others. This virtue does not extend
to his own. He schemes to get at the
money, property, and effects of others
by having it appropriated through
quasi-legal means and then by partici-
pating in spending it."
Let us apply fairly this test to the
two candidates for governor of Mis-
sissippi in the Second Democratic Pri-
mary August 9th.
Examine the fiscal policies of the
Coleman administration from 1860
which left a solid surplus of S34. 500, 900
in the state treasury as a cushion for
the incoming Barnett regime of which
the Lieutenant Governor is an integral
part. In fact, Mr.. Johnson is claiming
to his own credit every forward step
taken by the state during the past
three and one-half years that he and
Barnett have been in office. BY the
same token he must take responsibility
for its shortcomings.
And, dear reader, we are really
short.

Auditors office on July 81, only %

BY JOHN EMMERICH
Enterprise journal Reporter

Four years ago, when Ross
Barnett was campaigning for
governor against 1t. Gov.
Carroll Gartin, there was a
lot of talk about a Coleman
machine"
Barnett charged that Cole
man had placed his friends
in public office and that he
was building a machine
which threatened to control
the state.
Barnett apparently con-
WINGED enough people that
such a machine existed to
win the election = despite
the fact that there was little
evidence to justify such a
charge.
The irony of Barnett's
charge was not evident until
after he became governor.
Then his office was crowded
for months with office seek
ers. Barnett put them every
where. He cleaned house.
Out went other public serv-
ants - many of them compe-
tent veterans of many years
in their nonpolitical positions.
In went the Barnett support
ers.
Jobs. Jobs. Jobs
When Barnett ran out OF
Jobs, he had the legislature
create new jobs.
This, from the man who
accused j. P Coleman of
creating a political machine.
This second primary cleo
ton which Mississippi now
faces has l%ong-range ramifl-
cations which are more i'm
portant that the simple ques-
ton of who will occupy the
governors chair for the next
four years. Coleman or 1t.
Gov. Paul Johnson.
Fdctions In Politics
Mississippi's politics, in the
absence of effective, compet-
ing political parties on the
state level, is dominated by
factions.
A new and powerful fac
ition is in the making, and it
is largely dependent upon the
election of Johnson.

out on clutches to see his team
off. I call that real spirit. I'm sure
Captain Manderville would have
played If the cast hadn't been so

my team quite a battle. We won't
