will be such a ticket in the Novem

«'re thousands oi people in the state
who are not only embarrased but
disgusted and indignant over the
record of the so-called Truman
Democratic administration, its im
morality, petty politics, misman
agement, selfishness, bungling, so
cialism, greed and corruption on
the national level. It means that
there are thousands who longer
refuse to wear the Truman-Faur

their influence and ballot to help
give the nation a change and clean
up the “mess."

proposed to be spent for the erection
of expensive new school buildings in
all parts of the state. The sales tax
i is piling up a surplus of millions, the
income exceeding by millions the un
derestimated figures given the public
when efforts were being made to pass
the measure. The perfectly natural
conclusion for the teachers’ profes
sion is this—the sales tax is provid
ing the money, it is piling up in the
state treasury, so why can’t we get
an increase in our pay. There’s plenty ’
of money, reports from Columbia in
dicate. Mo« of it is going to contrac
tors on new Negro school buildings
and big salaries for the organizers of
the state criteria. The state may soon
become a haven, so to apeak, for out-'
of-state colored people who see mil
lions of dollars being spent in this
big building program, with most of
the money in the lower part of the
state.
