BELIEVES COTTON IS
Is PER CENT OFF
So Believes the Hon. ]. D
Price

Atlanta, June 15.-That there IS
fully twenty-five per cent. less cotton
acreage planted in Georgia this sea-
son than there was last year, is the
declaration of Hon. ]. D., Price, of
Oconee, who has recently visited ev-
cry section in the state in connection
with his race for commissioner OF
agriculture.
IF there ever was chance for
twenty cent cotton, it looks to me as
if this season will bring it, said Mr.
Price here this morning. Il notice
that the report of the Rock Hill plan
committee indicates a general reduc-
ton of 16 per cent, but l am confident
from what l have seen with my own
eyes that the reduction is far greater
than that in Georgia.
This is not altogether due to the
farmer himself, for we are all motor
iously hard-headed when it comes tt
acreage reduction, but providence has
taken a hand, and the unfavorable
season has proven a big factor in the
cutting down"

THE COMMISSION FORM.

The art of advertising is the art Of
putting up the facts so the reader
cant get away from them. The art
of writing editorials is identical
The Boise Sunday Capital News as
an advertisement, prints the i 1T ex-
position of the principles of the Com
mission Form of government the Star
Mirror has ever seen, and this paper
not only feels like complimenting the
News upon notable work f r the
public good, but presents the adj
vertisement because it puts up facts
that the reader can't get away from.
Shall the people or the politicians
rule?
THE commission form of govern
ment may be likened to huge sieve.
Sordd politicians fall through in the
sift-fow to their friendly levels,
and drift out of sight with hunianity's
dream.
THE people stay put.
They don't drop through the per-
forations, they are fortified they are
intrenched, they can't be pok ID, push
ed, or punched out.
Thomas jefferson and Thomas Paine
had golden dreams of just sucn gov
eminent, but never lived to see trem
come true
THE commission rule is like a big
department store. It's inter ,sts are
divided into departments. You elect
one man to manage each department.
You elect him because of his fitness, |
not because of his religion or politics,
