PLANS EXPOSITION FUND
Will Consider Proposition for
Raising $6,5OO,O00 Needed
for Big Fair

BATON ROUGE, Aug. 15.-Convened In
extra session to begin today to consider
a proposition for the raising of $6,500,000
in support of an exposition to be held at
New Orleans in 1915 to celebrate the COM
pletlon of the Panama canal, members
OF the Louisiana general assembly gath
cred this morning.
A joint resolution was passed at the
recent regular session of the general as
sembly, proposing a constitutional amend
ment for a tax of 100000. to extend over
a period of several years in this con-
nection. Several days ago it was sug-
gested that this amount be increased to
sc, $780, 900 and Governor Sanders called an
extra legislative session to consider 1t. 1t
is now suggested by the executive COM
mittee of the Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton company that a proposed constitu-
tonal amendment be submitted to voters
of the state, providing for bond issue
of $500, 000 pledging the tax of A,OOOOOo
as originally proposed and an additional
tax of $2,500000 in the city of New Or
leans, to be levied and collected only after
the proposed tax of 100000 has lapsed.
The bond Issue, it is declared, would sub
stantially insure the raising of the larger
sum desired, but with increasing property
assessments in New Orleans, might call
for only light taxation in the city.

RAILROAD PROBE MAY
SHOW STARTLING GRAF 7

CHICAGO. August 1.-THE new graft
investigation OF the Illinois Central Rail-
road in connection with the letting Of
grading and construction contracts may
reveal stealings which viii rival the car
repairing operations. according to Chi
eago men in close touch with the latest
inquiry.
Local oficiaIs OF the railroad yesterday
were inclined to discount the reports that
as much as S1.0ooG00 had been stolen
from the road in construction work on
the southern lines. They, however, said
that the inquiry had not gone far enough
10 determine the amount.
From other sources IL was learned that
detectives have discovered that the al
legged graft operations occurred in con-
nectton with the letting of contracts for
the grading and construction OF many
miles OF new roadway. The total OF
these contracts is said to run up into the
millions OF dollars. In some cases II Is
asserted the road paid for as much as
50 per cent more work than was actually
performed.

o. B. Stevens Is Called Upon to
Answer 6. N. BagweIl, of Winder,
VIM. D. Branan, of Atlanta, and
Harvie Jordan, of Monticello

So. Railroad Commissioner Stevens.
YOU stand before the voters with judg-
ment against you Cno answer made) for
the following offenses, on the evidence
of Hon. Harvie Jordan, Messrs. G.. n.
Bagwell and w. ID. Branan:
1. That you aided the guano trusts in
an effort TO break the price of cotton In
1905. Those guano tags, you know.
2 That you were given big sum
of money by a trust for campaign pur>
poses while Commissioner OF Agricul-
ture.
g. That you were given numbers of
complimentary shipments Of guano by
the trusts while Commissioner of Agri-
culture.
Now, in this connection, that this
whole thing may be understood, we
want you TO tell the farmers of Georgia
how many samples of guano in 1905 did
you pass as coming up to the require
ment of the law that were amazingly
knocked in other states? Did pa, out of
SO that you passed. fall down in Ala
bsma? Were some OF the same 2S5 sam
pies that you passed outlawed in the
state or Mississippi? And was the sale
OF some OF the same samples absolutely
prohibited in the state OF South Carolina
And now you have the gall to pa
rade yourself before the farmers OF
this state as the one man. only, to whom
they can look for protection.

paid advertisement in Saturdays Geor-
gfan is q gross insult TO the intelligence
and integrity of every farmer I'm Geor-

Commission. which is so vital to them"
My, my, man! You ought to get out
among the farming class OF people once
IN a few years and see what they think
of you. This is the one class of voters
that have cursed you to me from one side
Of this state to the other. And what else
could you expect?
o. b. Stevens is a farmer because
he owns thousands of acres of land, John
d. Rockefeller is a farmer because he
owns thousands and thousands OF acres
of land, and ]. .Pierpont Morgan is a
farmer because he owns many thousand
acres of land. On this hypothesis of rea-
soning, and that's the way Uncle ODE
puts it. the two latter are larger farmers
than even Uncle ODE.
The position you are trying to occupy.
in an effort to bamboozle the farmer out
of his vote bears about the same re-
semblance to your vocation in life, and
every act as an official, that a Poland
China pig bears to a saddle horse. A
fair comparison when you come to think
of it.
1 could truthfully tell the farmers OF
this state that l did regular farm work
for twelve years to the tune of six days
to the week, that / was for ten years
subsequent to this in absolute charge
and management of the largest farming
interest in Gwinnett county and that
am now engaged in farming, but to ap-
peal to them for their vote on a reason OF
this kind as you are, Is an insult to the
intelligence of every farmer in this state.
The truth about this is, there is a
guano, oil and railroad odor about you
that the farmers will remember on Au-
gust 2Srd. ]. A. PERRY.
