OUR TERRITORY"


One of the Chicago packers, in the
trial now going on at Chicago, COM
planned that Swift infringed on our
territory" The disputed territory
was in New York and Vermont, and
the question naturally arises: How
did that territory, or any other terri
tory, come to be the exclusive prop
erty of Swift or anybody else?
The answer is simple Because
Swift and the other packers, after
driving the butchers in the local COM
munities in New York and Vermont
out of business, by underselling them,
divided up the territory thus seized
and called it their own OF course,
it was theirs! having stif1ed all COM
petition, both from within and with
out the district, they were left free
to advance prices of meat to suit the
amount of dividends desired, and to
call the territory their own"
THE ANSWER.
''Why talk about placing any of the
necessaries of life on the free list?"
is the cry that goes UP from the
Standpatters every now and then. "If
this were done" they ask, show could
the government raise revenue to meet
its expenses? ~
This is how: BY levying an income
tax and an inheritance tax, as does
every first-class nation on the face
of the globe, save the United States of
America.

THE. WEALTH OF ooT7oN SEED

The annual convention of the cntton seed oil mill
superintendents being held this week in Atlanta il
illustrates the wonderful growth and compass of
southern industry that is comparatively new.
Scores of delegates representing millions of cap!
ftaI and divers fields of trade present from al
most every quarter of the Southeast. The subject
matter of their conferences covers a remarkable
range of interests On Thursday, for instance, they
are discussing applied chemistry mechanical engi-
neering the employment of labor methods of mar
keting and a number of other questions which ex-
tend from the general laws of science to the min
utest details of economics And in the of the
convention there will be presented in one form or
another problems that concern every business and
every household in the land
1t is hard to conceive that an industry reaching
so this has developed in less than generation
and indeed within the past decade Yet, such is the
case. 1t not many years ago when little or no
attention was paid to the socaled byproducts of the
Souths staple crop. Here and there could be found
some farsighted investor who discerned the posi-
bities of seed and hus but for the most part
this great residue of the crop ignored turned
TO little practical account.
But it has come to pass that today this very
idue all but rivals in value and interest the cotton
itself 1t has added numbers of products to the
South's manufacturing output and has extended her
commerce to faraway countries. II has opened new
fields of employment to thousands of people and rich
fields of investment to capital In a noteworthy
sense it has served to reduce the of living at
many points. 1t has shown that from the cotton
plant man can not only his raiment, but
also important items of his food.
For these reasons the present convention of men
who engaged in this young but gigantic industry
is particularly interesting.
In their efforts to perfect it, to widen its scope
and increase its profits to the individual and the
section whole, to extend its usefulness and its
fame, they have the heartest good will of all the
Southern people

OUR GOOD ROADS WORKERS

One of the most useful conventions of the season
is that of the Georgia federation of road authorities
who are meeting this week at Athens in conjunction
with the highway department of the state university
Some two hundred delegates representing more than
a hundred counties are in attendance
The value of such conference can scarcely be
overestimated 1t will not only quicken the good
roads spirit throughout the state but what is even
more important just now, it will direct this general
enthusiasm into definite and well organized and,
therefore, more effective channels
If the officials of one county are to build roads
that will render their full measure of service, they
must understand the purpose and the problems OF
neghboring counties If the state is to have thor
oughgoing system of highways and not merely
broken series of roadlinks, all the counties must
works comparatively.
For this reason such convention as is being
held at Athens is of particular value 1t enables the
men who are directly in charge of the road building
in their respective counties exchange views, to
profit by one anothers experience and, above ALL to
reach common understanding and sympathy in the
great enterprise before them. The result will doubt
less he that each official will return home with
more liberal perspective of his work and with
clearer sense of the truth that he is building not
only for his immediate community but for the com
monwealth a whole.
It would be an appropriate thing, we believe, for
this convention take note of the states need OF
central highway commission and to urge the impor-
lance of such commission upon the general assem-
bly, Georgia has made wondrous strides in road
building within the past five years. The record
shows indeed that with the exception of New York,
she has surpassed all other states in the number OF
miles of roads constructed. There is scarcely
county within her borders that is not alert and
active in the good roads If to this enthusiasm
she will now add the guidance which will come
through the assistance and supervision of the state
ITSELF her future progress will be all the more sub
stantial and gratifying.
At the last session of the legislature there was
introduced a bill to establish state highway COM
mission but in the rush of elevenhhour business it
failed to pass It is to be hoped that such meas
ure will be presented at the approaching session and
will be enacted.
The convention of good road workers at Athens
is fortunate in having the cooperation of the uni
versity's highway department. This department,
though but recently created has rendered farreach
ing service to a number of counties and it stands
ever ready to give scientific advice and aid to
community in the state Road building has become,
or is fast becoming of the great practical arts of
the time The returns upon the money invested in
road improvement or extension depend largely upon
the methods by which it is spent. The universitys
highway department shows how these funds can be
spent with the highest economy, and efficiency.

There is agitation in the association for law re-

Properly, the investments of savings banks are linn
