100000 For Georgia's Agricultural
Schools.
(Atlanta Georgian.)

We do not believe there is a man
in Georgia today who, if he under
stood that 100000 practically stood
at the door of our agricultural schools,
would not let it in. This is really
the case, and some of the farmers
of Georgia do not seem to under
stand that all we need to do is to
pass a certain bill now pending in
the legislature and receive the amount
of money without which, unless some
other provision is made, our agricul-
turai schools must close. The ele-
ven districts of Georgia have given
nearly one million dollars worth of
agricultural schools to the state
because the state promised to keep
up these schools We have the agri-
cultural school at Athens with all its
magnificent equipment, but there is
no money with which to run il. In
less provision is made it will have 10
close this fall. A bill, which passed
the house of representative last
year, and is now in the senate, would
provide the amount of money needed
to maintain these eleven district
schools and the state agricultural col
lege-more than 100000 altogether
There are S00,000 tons of fertilizer
used in the state of Georgia each
year. About $21 ton is paid for this
fertilizer. The same price is paid in
Alabama, for instance, as is paid in
Georgia. In other words, when ferti-
lizer is $21 here it will be $21 in Ala
bama. Tennessee and elsewhere. The
fertilizer manufacturers, commonly
called the fertilizer trust, now pay
what is known as a tag tax in most
of the states. In ALBANIA they pay
30 cents for tax for each ton of
fertilizer, while in Georgia they pay
10 cents, a difference of 20 cents. The
bill that is now pending in the SEN
ate and which has already passed the
house of representatives, simply
raises the tag tax to % cents. This
increase in the tag tax when applied
to the 100000 tons of fertilizer would
give the state of Georgia for the sun
port of its agricultural schools the
amount of money we need This
would not come out of the farmer.
for the price OF fertilizer is no high
er, as we have said before, in the
states where they pay 80 cents than
it is in Georgia where they pay 10
cents. This tax comes from the
manufacturer. Then why is 1t that
any farmer would object to the pas
sage of this bill? You will Dav rhe|
same price for your fertilizer wheth-
er it passes or not, and the only man
who will tell you differently is one
who is in some way Interested in
the manufactIie of fertilizer. The
farmers of Georgia certainly need

not for rich mems sons, but they are
to teach the sons of the poor farmer
how to get all there is in the soil.
There are 5000 men in prisons to-
day and only $4,000 men in colleges
in the United States. Is it possible
that with nearly as many conyfets as
there are students there is a man
in the state of Georgia who would lay
a straw in the way of the support OF
these schools? Is there a farmer who
is unable to understand that this tag
tax is not intended to be a burden
on him, but is legitimate tax upon
the manufacturer of the fertilizer, and
that whether the schools of Georgia
receive this 100000 a year or not, the
price of fertilizer will be the Same
to him? The only reason in the
world that any senator will fail to in
dorse this bill would be that tbs
farmer might object viii you moi

support this movement that Will
keep alive the agricultural schools

provided?

MAKING NEW GEORGIA COUNTIES

Several bills are before the present
legislature, having for their purpose
the ehopping on OF pieces from var
ious counties and the creation OF
new counties to add to the already
large number of units into which the
state is divided.
While Sumter county is not direct
ly affected by any of these measures
the entire state is interested in the
efforts that are continuously being
made to chop up counties and create
is the result of personal political am
billions on the part of few lndiEt-
duals who find themselves unable to
get offices and honors under existing
conditions Added to this is the
desire of some small community to
become a county seat, with court
house and whatever profits and adj
vertising go with the location of the
county seat.
AS a general proposition the inter-
ests of the public are in nowise adj
vanced by the creation of new coun-
ties. A few men get political places,
but the public generally suffers from
the increased burdens that come
from the addition of new governments.
Counties cannot be operated without
expense, and every new county that
is made means just that much heav-
Ter burden on the people. After the
new county is made it is not long be-
fore it wants new judicial division,
on the ground that there are too
many counties in the old circuit. And
so the augmentation of expenses goes
on. There are enough counties in
Georgia-too many. in all likelihood. |
No one would suffer, except a few
office seekers, If the bars were put |

Guarantee Bank Deposits in Georgia
Columbus Ledger

The guarantee of bank deposits is
matter that has been given great
deal of discussion and consideration
during recent years, and more than
ever during the past few months. The
failure Of several banking institutions
last fall and the spring just ended
gave fresh cause for discussion. The
trainers of the Oklahoma state con
stitution made a provision therein tC
protect bank depositors That was
the first step. Mr.. Bryan, who will
be the democratic nominee for the
presidency, is an advocate of the fed
eral government guaranteeing bank
deposits
Hon. Geo. w Deem, of Waycross
Ga, state senator from the fifth dis
trict, who is banker, being vice
president of the First National bank
of Waycross, and also president OF
the state bank at Nicholas, is at
work on a bill, which he will intro
duce in few days providing for a
guarantee of bank deposits in Geor-
gia-both state and nationally the
levy and collection of a tax by the
state. If the measure becomes a law
it will be mandatory upon the state
banks, and Senator Deem believes
that this fact will cause the national
banks to voluntarily come under the
statute.
The senator entertains the belief,
and with seeming good reason, that
the guarantee of bank deposits
would prove a great boon to the
commercial, farming and banking in
dustries of Georgia. He believes ii
would restore confidence at all times
if the people knew that their bank
deposits were protected by a fund
in the hands of the state government
He believes the passage of the law
would cause the bank deposit to in
crease with leaps and bounds.

Heat That Brings Wealth
philadelphia Ledger.3


City dwellers, to whom a mid
summer heat brings only discomfort
find little satisfaction in the official
assurance that the weather is fay
orable to the growing crops. Yet it
is fact that a period of heat in
June, however unwelcome in town,
may prove of far-reaching Importance
in the country, and may make all the
difference between a great crop of
grain and poor crop-between nat
ional prosperity and the reverse.
June is a critical month in the
wheat fields The winter crop is
practically safe, but not so the spring
wheat. There have been promises OF
fine crops in the June reports that
in July. This year the late reports
indicate a record-breaking yield, in
spite OF a cold, wet May A cold and
wet June might yet blight this fine
prospect; sunshine and high temper
allure will make it secure. This is
| just the weather that is needed.
Not the wheat only, but the corn
| the oats, and above all, the grass
| respond to the warm wave" Towns
| folk are disposed to a iocular view
of the farmer and his anxiety about
the weather. They are accustomed tc
take the weather as it comes, and The
| farmer appears to them discomfort
ed and impracticable person. But
| the farmer knows his business, and
understands how far not only his i'm
mediate gains but the whole national
wealth may be affected by the I'M
| comfortable yicissitudes of cloud OF
sunshine. If he rejoices when the
hot June sun pours down upon his
fields, it is with reason, and a rea-
son that ought to bring cheer to

Need for Economy in Legislature
(Savanah Morning News.)

(Sayanah Morning NeWS.)
Enough has been disclosed in the
discussions which have taken place
in the Senate and House since the
session of the legislature began to
justify the statement that there is
need for economy in distributing the
states revenue. In the Senate on
Friday one senator spoke strongly in
favor of reducing the expenses of
government and another criticised
the administration for its eXtraVa-
gance. These senators are influential
and, hence, it is fair to assume that
they voiced the sentiments of many
other members of the assembly.
The Appropriations Committee will
have a hard task to make the states
income cover appropriations that
seem to be almost imperatively nee
essary. The judges of the Court of
Appeals want an increase in their
salaries and the state treasurer
wants an increase. About every one
of the state institutions insist that
there must be greater liberality in
dealing with them. 1t is we'll under
stood that the schools don't get any
where near what they should and
there is pressure for an increase in
the pensions of certain class of
pensioners.
There are many other demands for
increased expenditures besides the
foregoing. If the Legislature had the
money at its command it could easily
double the appropriations without
| seeming to be eXtravagant. The State
University would be glad to have
very much more than it is getting
and the archaeological School is an
applicant for a large additional ap-
preparation.
There is no doubt that the pay of
| the judges is too small and that the
! state treasurer isn't paid as much as
1 he ought to be. His responsibility is
| great to say nothing of the actual
work he does, but in the present con-
I dition of the states finance what Is
| the Legislature to do? If it hadn't
raised the pay of its own members
| the pressure for an increase in sala-
ries of judges and State House Off
| Gals wouldn't be so great. Still
| the legislator who attends to his dut-
| les faithfully isn't overpaid
1t is evident that wisdom hasn't
| been shown at all times in distribute
ing the states revenue. 1t hasn't
been SO very long since the tax re-
turns were much smaller than they
are now and the tax rate less. II
didn't seem to be so difficult then to
meet all demands upon the states in
come as it is now. Isn't that be-
cause of unwise legislation, legisla-
ton dictated by sentiment rather
| than by sound judgment?
Most of what has been done, how
| ever, is beyond recall and the thing
to do now is to cut the garment ac-
cording to the cloth. 1t is known
| pretty clearly what the states in
| come is and care should be taken
| to distribute is SO as to bring the
best possible results.
