HELPING THE FARMER.

We agree with the Savannah News
that the legislature is to be COM
mended for it's efforts in behalf of
the farmer.
The House has passed a bill APP
propriating $4,000 to enable the
Department of Agriculture to make
stronger fight against the cattle
tick, and it has also passed a bill
appropriating $4,000 to enable the
same department to help the cotton
farmer rid his fields of the black
root.
The state, as our contemporary
says, depends more upon agricul-
ture than anything else for its pros
perity, and the diseases that attack
cotton, cattle, fruits and vegetables
must be got rid of if it is possible
to do so. Georgia hasn't a great
deal of surplus money for fighting
diseases which attack the farmers
cattle and his crops, but it is good
policy to cut down appropriations in
other directions in order to get the
money to carry on a fight of this
kind. The states prosperity depends
upon the prosperity of the farmer.
The surest way, therefore, to fill the
state treasury is to help increase
the farmers prosperity"

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

| From the Savannah News
There is too much politics in At
lanta for the good of the state. If
we are to judge of conditions there
| by what is appearing in the Atlanta
| papers the Legislature is divided into
Smith and Brown factions, and the
! feeling between them is so strong
that it is having it's effect upon leg
! iSlation
Outside of the politicians the peo-
| pie are not interested in the fight
| that appears to be going on between
the two factions for political adj
vantages. What they want is legisla-
| ton that will best promote their in
terests. In the making of laws they
expect the legislature to forget that
Mr.. Smith, when governor, removed
Governor Brown from the Office of
railroad commissioner, and that Gov
ernor Brown made a campaign for
the governOrship against Mr.. Smith
and beat him, Notwithstanding the
fact that it was the custom to give
a governor a second term, as an in
dOrsement of his administration. If
there is a feeling of bitterness be-
tween these two men and their i'm
mediate followers it ought to be con-
fined to them. 1t ought not to be
allowed to appear in the legislature
and affect legislation. If it be true
that Mr.. Smiths friends are trying
to shape legislation so as to make
Governor Browns administration a
failure, to as great an extent as pos
sible, they are making a mistake, if
they are planning to beat him in the
next gubernatorial election
The people are not asleep. They
are very wide awake. One of the
reasons why Governor Brown defeat
ed Mr., Smith in the last guberna-
torial contest was the resentment the
people felt against Mr.. Smith for re-
moving Mr.. Brown from the office of
railroad commissioner without suffi-
cient cause. And if the impression
gets abroad that Mr.. Smith and the
politicians who are in sympathy with
him are trying to put Governor
Brown in hole, as it were, are aim
ing to make his administration a fail
ure, the resentment against Mr..
Smith and his faction will be even
more pronounced than it was in the
last gubernatorial campaign
1t is but natural that Governor
Smith should feel sore over his de-
feat. Amy other man would feel Just
about as he does, but the people are
not going to feel any more kindly
towards him if he uses his influence
to defeat legislation which they
want and policies which they ap-
prove. If he is pursuing that course
he is not Strengthening himself and
his faction. He is only making more
friends for Governor Brown, because
the people believe in a square deal,
and they will insist that Governor
Brown shall have it. If he doesn't
get it from the legislature he will
have only to place the situation
squarely before them in order to get
another term and a legislature that
will be more responsive to his wishes

Railroad Commission on Plane of In
dependence. Irwin's Bill.

From the Albany Herald.
After two years of Hoke Smith in
the administration of the duties and
exercise Of the powers of governor,
during which time two railroad COM
mtssioners have been suspended from
office by executive order, the senate
has unanimously voted to take away
from the governor the right to sus-
pend such officials.
Without a dissenting vote the SEN
ate has passed by substitute the
Irwin bill, taking away from the
governor the right to suspend mem
bers of the railroad commission
The bill places railroad commission
ers on the same plane of independ-
ence with other elective officials of
the state.
In view Of the fact that his staunch-
est friends n the senate not only
voted but spoke for the measure it is
perhaps not fair to construe it's pass
age as direct rebuke to the former
governor, but it is fair to conclude
that the freedom with which he exer-
cised the power to remove railroad
commissioners is the direct cause for
the removal of that arbitrary power.
One senator declared in a speech
supporting the bill that the railroad
commission might as well be abol-
ished altogether as to be kept sub
ject to the whim of an autocratic
governor, who might remove it's
members for any old cause O" for
no cause at all, if they happen to
disagree with him politically. The
people of Georgia wanted an indie
pendent commission, the senator said,
and no commissioner could be indie
pendent under the present law with
out endangering his position when
such a governor as Hoke Smith oc-
cupied the executive chair.
