Compensation for Families.
we will advocate some sort of
compensation for the wives and chill

Of the convicts are made to suffer al
most as much as the prisoners them

1T will be our suggestion that a

duced with the indeterminate SEN
tence. Accompanying this will be the
grades and classification of prison
ers, with merits and dement's.
The boys and first offenders should
/ be segregated from the vicious and
habitual criminals.
"A State industrial school for girls
should be established and more ade-
quate provision made for the boys

I'VE will propose that stripes be
abolished except for the lowest grade
Of prisoners and that the others be
clothed so as not to make them ride

Instruction during a short period
of the day will be suggested for the

This is only an incomplete outline
of some of the reforms that will be
submitted for the. approval Of the

bat everything in the present system
that initiates against the reclama-

speCt.
Several bills already have been
drafted and others are in preparation.
We expect that the Legislature this
year will be impressed by their ne

INAUGURATION

Governor Of Georgia. The ceremony
will not vary materially from that

fee. Formerly the Inauguration was
the most pompous occasion Atlanta
knew.
Chief Justice W H. Fish will ad-
minister the oath. In accordance
with custom, the oath will be taken
at high noon and win be followed by
Governor Slaton's address
The address win be short. com
pared with inaugural addresses in the
past II will require about 30 min
utes TO deliver But Governor Slaton
puts much In a few words, and his
address win be complete
There will be no ceremonies be-
yond the administering OF the oath
Governor Brown and Governor elect
Slaton will meet in the Governors
reception room and remain there until
notified that the House and Senate
are in joint session in the House
chamber. Then they will go to the
ball, where the oath will be admin
istered.
The inaugural reception will be
held at the Governors Mansion next
week
Governor SIaton will deliver his
message orally. He. like President
Wilson, believes an oral presentation
Of a message has greater weight than
a written one.

There is a remote possibility the

$4,000 RAILROAD
JOB FOR BRANTLEY
Former Congressman to Repre-
sent 100 Systems of the South.
Will Keep Atlanta Offices.

Former Congressman William G.
Brantley, of Atlanta, has been ap-
pointed as one of three men to rep
resent the railroads Of the United
States before the Interstate Com
morce Commission, according to in
formation that has come to Atlanta.
Mr.. Brantley will represent the roads
of the Southeast territory, compris-
Ing 100 systems south of the Mason
and Dixon line. The other two men
will represent the railroads of the
Eastern and Western States.
The details of the appointment and
the salary connected with the posi-
ton have not been given out. 1t is
generally understood. however, that
the Western representative of the
railroads has signed a five-year con-
tract at an annual salary of about
100000 1t is supposed that the con-
tracts Of Mr.. Brantley and the East
ern representative are virtually the
same
It is probable that Mr.. Brantleys
work, for at least the first five years,
viii be to represent the roads in an
advisory capacity during the finding
of a physical valuation of the rail-
roads of the United States, which the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
now undertaking. 1t is estimated that
the commission will pass on $4,000
600, 900 worth of railroad property.
and the valuation arrived at will be
the basis for future taxation and rate
making.
Mr.. Brantley viii soon open Of
fees in Washington to facilitate the
handling of his work, though he will
retain his offices in Atlanta and spend
a portion of his time here.

Acting president of the American

ton.
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian,
BERLIN, June 25.-The marked and
cordial hospitality with which the
American Commission has been re-
ceived everywhere on it's travels
through Europe was reflected again
in Berlin. In all countries visited
every effort has been made by both
Government officials and heads Of ag-
ricultural institutions to facilitate our
work.
Perhaps the one greatest advantage
which the trip has brought Is the fact
that a comparatively large number of
men representing diversified interests
in the United States have come in
contact with the work of European
agricultural cooperative institutions
and their leaders.
Interest in Agriculture.
have been much impressed with
the deep interest displayed in agri-
culture as a whole here, both among
the Government officials and business
men. A similar interest is being
awakened in our own country, but in
Europe it is very clear and defined.
1t is based on the conviction that the
welfare of the farmers is not a class
interest, but a national interest; that
the promotion and development of ag-
riculture are essential parts of a ma
tional policy.
1 also have been impressed with
the extent of the political activities
and influence of the farming classes
in some of the European countries
This, of course, may account in part
for the interest the Governments take
in agriculture.
Skill Shown in Farming.
Even the most superfluous observa-
ton Of conditions in Europe cannot
fail to impress one with the remark
able skill shown in farming here. For
example, the average yield of wheat
in Germany is thirty bushels to the
acre-more than double that in the
United States. In the best farming
districts 1t rises to between forty-five
and fifty bushels, and this in a coun-
try with a rainfall of only twenty
inches a year.
The organization of cooperative in
situations in addition to relatively
cheap labor probably has had much
to do in bringing about this skillful
farming. 1t has given the farmer
capital at low interest and on easy
terms as well as the possibility of
disposing of his products to advant-
age. The success of the methods en-
ployed are also due partly to the sys-
TEN of agricultural education, and as
consequence to the application of
science to practical agriculture.
