Certain socalled social reform groups who are not interested in the welfare of true Americans are demanding the passage of this bill. These pressure groups from certain sections who are advocating no social discriminations have. in reality. without raising their voices. permitted their section to discriminate against the South for time immemorial in freight rates and Government expenditures of every kind. Those who are willing to open the doors and flood this country with immigrants from all parts of the world and those who want to use their vast wealth in taking advantage of all underprivileged people who will play any game to further their own interest. regardless of principle or how it might affect the Government are also favoring the passage of this bill. If you want to be fair. why do you not give a little more consideration to the farmers of the poor lands of the South. why do you not give a little more consideration to raising the standard of living for both the colored and the white. why do you not give some consideration to extending Federal aid to schools? The poll tax in my State is a vital source of revenue.
