Limiting, contracting or decreas-
ing the volume of money below the
actual necessity Of the people has
preceded and been the fOrerunner of
the downfall Of all preceding civili-
cations where property has been cen
tralized into few hands, and
present conditions are no exception
to the rule in the past. 1t is now up
to the common people to attack and
abolish the present system of wage
or industrial slavery, as it was up to
the last generation to abolish chattel
slavery In all times past, reforms
have been brought about by the COM
mon people, even if some of the agi-
tators were put in prison, executed
or banished to exile.
The common herd are aroused as
they never have been before, and
are seeking peaceable means to
abolish and change the evil system
to better and equitable one. There
are a few self-eyident truths, that
the common heard are burning mid
night oil to investigate, that they
may settle these problems right, as

ests of the State and people. Each
session of the legislature is found
tinkering with the Constitution, and
we should have one jubilee and wind
up the job by making a brand new
Constitution.
We have outgrown this outworn
system and it is better that we
clothe Miss Georgia in the latest fad,
becoming to her uneQualed station
in our republic. When we see Judge
Fite disagreeing with the decisions
Of the Court Of Appeals, ant plain
Dick RusseH's Court reversing the
Supreme Court which is kept busy
constituting the numerous amend
ments to the Constitution, then it is
high time to lay aside the Constitu-
ton Of 1877, forget the wear and
tear Of thirty-five years of amending,
and have adopted a Constitution
recognized and known by all the
courts and all the people.
The Constitution Of 1877 no longer
exists. The old fabric is covered by
patches and it is now to the Georgia
Legislature what the enchanted lamp
was to the beguiled Aladdin.
BY all means the common sense of
the next Legislature should provide
for holding new Constitutional
Convention.

these questions rightly because there
is SO many Of them.
One Of the live burning questions
that must be solved is, that interest
bearing bonds and large interests
bearing Indebtedness and slavery are
synonymous and as sure to absorb
the product Of the industrial class
of their earnings in excess of
miserable living, as ever chatteI
slavery did.
"That usury is theft" That taxi
ing interest Cor charging a price for

Of money, an amount in excess Of
the cost Of keeping the account and
necessary expenses of taxes and col
lection is usury until and after such
a time when dollars will have the
power of production and producing
their kind by breeding and cuItiva-
ton, the same as animals or the
grain of the field.

MONEY: ITS SOURCE AND FUNC-

money, it is a currency, substitute,
an auxiliary, at best. Money is not
redeemable in money; it may be ex-
changed, 'swapped" as the people
in Georgia call it, may be exchanged
one piece of money for another piece
of money, or one piece for several
pieces Of different denomination.
The possession of absolute full le-
gal tender money issued by the gov
eminent is evidenced of the possess
sOr having rendered a service to the
government, (the balance of the peo-
ple), or having rendered service to,
or sold property or something of in
trinsic or imaginary value to some
other person or persons.
1t is true redemption Of money
when a person sells something,
property, goods, service, real or arti-
fetal, for a price and receives real
legal tender money of the realm re-
deems the money, the only redemp-
ton of money that | am aware of.
When A buys suit Of clothes of B,
and pays for them, B has redeemed
that money, or when Y purchases a
buggy and pays cash for it, the seller
redeems that money with property
and on through the entire routine of
business until the government re-
ceiVes it for taxes, which is it's final
redemption.
In order to make my idea of mon
ely clear, | assume that the money
issued by the government is in fact,
an order or check on society for the
payment for any property for sale
by any person, individually or collec-
lively.
There seems to me to be one legi-
innate use for money and only one,
to, measure price, settle balances in
commercial transactions. That all
the property of the country is be-
hind the money issued by an abso-
Lutte government. That the posses
sion Of money issued by the govern
ment is a check or order for pur-
chase, or payment for any property
that may be for sale, voluntary or
forced sale. That the volume
large to transact business on a. cash
basis between a willing buyer and
an anxious seller. To so manipulate
the volume of money as to make it
a commodity in the marts of trade
is a gross diversion of it's uses and
is menace to free government, and
it is up to the twentieth century
civilization to break up and abolish
the system, the same as it was up

generation has passed, Gus
toms have changed, conditions have
changed, and during that period of
time new methods have been adop-
ted. What seemed expedient thirty
five years ago is likely to seem anti
Quated at this time. AS those thirty
five tremendous years have gone by
we have taken many steps towards
progressive advancement.
A Constitution is the fundamental
law OF a Commonwealth. 1t is the
headlight by which we travel the
road of local government, and it is
the instrument which seeks to pro-
tect and govern a people Thus we
have the paramount reason why
such a fundamental law should be
best suited to the needs of each gene
ration.
The Constitution of 1877 has
served it's usefulness. AS originally
adopted, it was a grand and inspir-
ing document. That illustrious
Georgian, General Robert Toombs,
was the dominant figure of the con-
vention. Georgia's treasury being
distressed, he advanced the funds
necessary for holding the convention
the policy and the deliberations Of
the convention General Toombs
wanted the Constitution of 1868
changed, because that Constitution
was the work of reconstruction, and
he acknowledged with pride that he
was the unreconstruCted rebel Of the
South. The Constitution Of 1877
was a wonderful improvement over
the Constitution of 1868. 1t seemed
nearer the heart Of Southern senti-
ment and environments. When the
Constitution Of 1877 was made the
South had hardly passed from the
ruins of the most cruel and bloody
Civil War known to history, and in
that struggle 4or Constitutional lib
erty, her best blood had run like
water. Our section was victimized
by the hideous infamy of Carpet Bag
Rule. The Constitution of 1877 put
new life into the history of the En-
pire State Of the South.
Thirtyfive years have come and
gone, and we have progressed to
an astonishing extent. AS is natu-
raj, each step of progress has been
marked by Constitutional Amend
ments, until the document of Toombs
the Lion of the Rebellion should
awake he would not recognize the
original garment. He would he the
first man to suggest a new Constitu
tional Convention.
While [ am not a progressive in
the partisan sense of the word, yet,
do believe in advancem ent I
heartily endorse all progressive
steps looking toward improvement.
The incoming tides of time have sug-
gested changes and it is imperative
that we revise the fundamental law
of the State and bring the Constitu-
tion up to date.
In such Constitution we should
reform the judiciary and insure
speedy justice at the least expense
to the tax payers. l detest the rail
road system of rushing men into
prison life, yet I do believe in the
speedy vindication of law, of less
technicalities and more justice, at
the least expense to the people. A
new Constitution would accomplish
this much desired end We could
forever obliterate the Infamous City
Court@system. Judge Fite would
have the opportunity of his life to
abolish the Court of Appeals and we
could have Supreme Court of nine
Justices divided into Civil and Crimi-
nal divisions.
