GOVERNOR REILY’S INAUGURAL ety ® Declares that all Citizens shall stand equally before him, before the Law, and before thel Courts— ‘'Come, let us reason together will be his motto in the admin- istration, of affairs political. During the past few years there has been considerabie conflict here, between the forces of labor and the forces of cap- ital. To me, this isa most regrettable situation, and how happy I shall be if I can be able, in some way, to help seitle these ditferencees. Capital can no ‘nore succeed without labor thar can iabour suceeed without capital. Capital and labor are hand-maidens in the world of affairs and progress, and neither can succeed without the absolute loyalty and confidence of the other. My deepest sympaithy naturally goes out to all those wio fotl, and who earn their livelih:ods by the sweat of their faces, One reason tnat 1 have this deep sympathy for labor is because [ devoted a number of years of my own earlier life toiling on a farm. 50 you men who toil on these plantations not only have my assuran:es of sympa- thy, but my own experience 4s a farm worker, whieh give me fully your view- poiat. At the saine time I have an utter contempt for any labor leader or agitator whose sole stock in trade is to stir up strife and discord among his {cllow workmen. The labor world would be better off without sueh advice or leader- ship. It has been my observation that usually the labor agitator “’toils not, naither does he spin.”’ Pu*lication Y 3 - ;T is hereby made know n, that the House g and Land Taxes {or the year 1920 for town and country properties became due on the Ist of May 4. ¢. and will be received at the DBranch of the Nationzi Bank «f the Danish west Indies in Chris- tiansted for the town and country dis- trict of Christiansted. and at the Frod- eriksted branch of said bank {or the toxvt and country district of Froderik- sted, At the expiration of the month of Augus’ the list of :rreara wili te for- warded (0 ihe Sueriil icr iuiiier meas- ares, Despatching Secretary’s Office, St. Croix, August 4, 1921.
