To LOAN MONEY ON
IRRIGATION PROJECTS
Land Board Reaches Decision
After Opinion by Attor-
ney General.

Confident that the recent ruling OF
the supreme court declaring the state
irrigation law to be valid, will stand
without further litigation, the state
land board decided yesterday to make
loans within $4,000 to irrigation dis.
tricts applying for state aid.
The policy was temporarily aband-
done when suit was brought to test the
constitutionality Of the law creating
irrigation districts. Even after the su-
prene court had ruled on the question
favorably. the board still hesitated be.
cause Of the intimation by Justice d.
N. Straup that the law might be at,
tackled on other points than those
named in the bill.
In view of the recent decision of At
torney General A. r. Barnes still fur
ther upholding the law. the land board
now feels safe III extending state aid
to these projects, under proper condi-
tions. The state board Of examiners,
which met with the land board yester-
day. also approves this policy
The meeting was held in the office
Of Governor William Spry. and the
members Of the two boards, together
with the governor, went carefully into
the matter. The board has applica.
tions for loans aggregating total OF
SS60,000, but it is believed that only
few of the applications can come up
to the requirements Of the board and
the law.
The law requires that the bonds OF q
district must sell for at least 80 per
cent Of their par value before a loan
can be made by the state. The board
also, together with the board Of ex-
amluers, has framed set of rules un-
der which districts are required to
prove that the project on which the
loan is desired is legitimate, and that
the money will be usel only for irri-
cation purposes.
The board has not yet completed the
set Of rules. but they will be drafted
in n few days. Upon their completion
they will be published and sent to the
various districts in the state.

When the parties have held their

the people, you decide, or you should
decide. just this question; What
man, among them, best measures
up to the requirements?
Then you elect that man. or you
should elect him. In the course of
time he appears once again in pub
lie, on the 4th of March, when the
chief justice of the United States
administers the oath of office, which
says:
u do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute the office of
president of the United States, and
will, to the best of my ability, pre-
serve, protect and defend the con-

/ resident s Power
Comes From People.

His power comes directly from
the people, and their welfare is as
sumed to be the prime object of his
consideration.
Only a natural-born citizen may
aspire to this office. He must be
at least 35 years of age and IA years
a resident of the United States.
The presidents term Of office is
four years He is eligible for re-
election. So far as the constitu-
ton is concerned, a president may
be reelected once, or twice, or
many times. Up to date, no man
has ever filled the office for more
than two terms, and it seems quite
unlikely that this precedent will be
broken.
The president is communicating
chief of the army and navy of the
United States and of the states
militia when called into Federal
service.
He is empowered to grant re-
prieves and pardous for offenses
committed against the United
States, but his power does not ex-
tend to cases Of impeachment
With a tWo-thirds vote of the
senate he may make treaties with
foreign powers. thus extending his
influence on behalf of the nation
to the world at large.
He appoints ambassadors to for
eign nations. In fact, there come
within his appointing power, with
confirmation of the senate, about
5000 offices.
He may convene the houses of
congress in extra sessions, and he
may adjourn them to a date not
beyond the next regular session.
From members of his cabinet ne
may require written opinions upon
their departments. He receives am
bassadors and foreign ministers.
All bills passed by congress are
brought before him for his sigma

These the principal duties of the,
president, are clearly set forth in
the constitution. The Office makes
of him world figure. He takes his
place beside kings and potentates
of whatever name.
He is not an individual with ar
bitrary power. He is the represen-
tative of millions of individuals,
with powers that are especially de-
signed and bestowed to secure for
every one whom he represents the
full blessings of citizenship.
You have only to picture this man
as a representative Of one hundred
millions of people doing business
with congress, with the nine de-
partments Of our national activity,
through the members Of his cabi-
net meeting the representatives of
every nation on earth, commanding
army and navy, allotting thousands
Of positions to office holders, APP
pointing proper representatives to
foreign nations, and without speci-
flying further the activities of his
office you can appreciate the pro-
priety of a convention opening with
prayer
But it is doubtful if you can see
the fitness of cat-calls. yells, Kisses
and the rumble of any kind of a
roller, steam or otherwise.
For all that is demanded Of him,
the president of the United States
receives d salary and he gets a
reputation. The salary is fixed at
seventy five thousand dollars per
annum. The reputation is largely,
though not wholly, of his own MAX
ing. Yet no position so open to pub
lie scrutiny can be so influenced by
conditions that the man himself
does not shine through. He may be
assisted in his endeavors or he may
be thWarted, but his stand on ques-
tons, great or small, allows him to
show the people, without doubt or
uncertainty, what sort of stuff he
is made of
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-30

v you have read the reports of
the conventions.
The proceedings consisted
Of prayers, excitement. Kisses, yeHs
and the buzz of the political ma
chine.
You might assume that a body of
men, representative of all the peo-
pie, gathered together to nominate
a man capable of filling what is
doubtless the greatest Office on
earth, would realize the response
bilty that rests upon themselves.
You might expect a certain feeling
of awe and solemnity. You might
expect that an act so fraught with
Importance would be taken with the
guidance of prayer, but without the
disturbance of excitement, Kisses
and cat-calls.
You might.
What is a president called upon
to do?
TO begin with, he is the repre-
sentative of all the people-the
head of the nation.
