Further Inquiry Of
Trade Discrimination
At Fort Is Ordered

A committee, composed Of members
of the wholesale trade committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce, will be appointed
Wednesday or Thursday by Chairman
Fort TO further investigate alleged dis
ordinations against Atlanta merchants
in the bulk trade from Fort McPher-
son. At a meeting of the whole trade
committee Tuesday it was brought out
that Atlanta merchants have to send
their samples to New York in order to
compete for the trade Of the local post
The Atlanta post, it Is understood, is
part of the Second Brigade, directly I'M
der the command of the First Division,
which has headquarters on Governor
Island, New York. The division quar-
termaster has charge of all purchasing
of bulk supplies for Fort Mcpherson
and in consequence the orders are
placed with merchants in the East
while only perishable goods are bought
here.

Spring has come!

Spring has come!
True, the gimlet-eyed person who
sees the first robin and hears it twit-
tering in the trees is still hibernat-
ing; not yet does the green grass grow
all around; and tomorrow there may
be snow on the ground, and Jupe
Pluvius, to crib from the sporting
pages, may empty a cloud or two on
our heads-but spring is here, all
right because
Atlanta papas are pushing baby
carriages,
That's the one infallible sign that
it's time to take EN- off-that beauti-
full spring, the season when the young
mans fancy does plain and fancy
turning, when men young and old
pawn their sense of humor and in
cite odes and sonnets to the light that
lies-most always-in woman's eyes
is with us other signs may fail
the man who saw the robin last year
and for many years before that may
be near sighted this year, and the
green grass may not grow in your
yard because you forgot to sow any
last year--but when you see Atlanta's
papas on parade, why, then spring is
here absolutely.

other resolution by Commissioner
Terrell was adopted asking The
Chamber of Commerce to furnish the
board with a copy of the survey re-
ports on hand.
Redistricting Is Urged.
The Commissioner urged that here
after the board refuse TO sanction a
survey unless it was agreed that the
board receive the report and data.
Most conspicuous among the reforms
urged by Commissioner Quinn is one
contained in a resolution requiring
a complete redistricting of Atlanta s
public school system-mentioning IN
particular those schools which were
built with part of the $3000,000 bond
issue, and that particula1~attention be
paid to oVercrowding
Another reform provides for making
the maximum number of pupils for
each grade 40 instead of so and 20.

to be 30.
Detach Normal School.
The third resolution urged that thn
Normal School be detached from the
Girls High School, making it part
of the grammar schools
Miss Annie Bell Adkins, a teacher
at the Ivy Street School turned in her
books and papers on Monday with the
remark that she had been married
and was going to North Carolina 10
live. 1t is a rule of the board thai
teachers give two weeks notice when
leaving or forfeit two weeks pay, but
the board set aside this rule in the
case of Miss Adkins.

that the reports were piseonholed,

COMING OF A PRACTICAL ~
PROGRESSIVE

Legislation in New Zealand and its
results are subjects sure to interest
mericans. President Wilson's recent
suggestion that Mexico might profit
through adoption of New Zealand's
land laws brings the matter very close
to us. It Isl fortunate therefore that
at such time this country should be
visited by man closely in touch with
the trainers of New Zea1and's progress
size legislation This man is Honor
able George W. Fowlds, OF, Auckland,
former Minister of Education and
Minister of Customs, of New Zealand
He is due to arrive in New York on
July 20, and is planning a trans-con.
tinental tour that includes visits to
many cities in the United States and
Canada. Among these cities are Bos-
ottawa Toronto, Niagara Falls, Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Winni-
peg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver
and other places.
AS matter of course, Mr. Fowld's
official connections will add weight to
whatever he may have to say about
New. Zealand. But there is better rea-
son than political prominence for con-
fidence in him. He realizes the de-
fects as well as the merits of what his
country has done. He fell out with
the leader of his party because the
latter declined to make any move to-
ward remedying the defects, and his
present work is to arouse public SEN
timent in favor of perfecting the
crude, though progressive legislation,
in the framing of which New Zealand
is a pioneer. He has not hesitated
to present the shady as well as the
sunny side, and nations bent on fol"
lowing New Zealand's example will do
well to take note of what so expert
enced and impartial an observer tells
to avoid, as well as what he recon-
mends to adopt. l+

FRUITLEss DISCUSSION.

A 6hmber of statesmen Of all parties
are showing the quality of their states
manship by arguing over the question
whether we are enjoying prosperity
or suffering from business depres-
sion. Such arguments are proftless.
No argument is necessary, no long
string of statistics is needed, to prove
to one suffering from want that there
is business depression. To such a
one it is equally useless to present
statements designed to show the
prevalence of prosperity. Congressman
would do better to omit such discus
sions. If we have no industrial de-
preston now, we are going to have
one sooner or later. For the unjust
laws, which most Congressman of all
parties are agreed upon must not be
touched, will bring the depression on.
Appeals to maintain confidence" will
have no effect in STAYING it off. Even
if it we're possible to secure unani1n-
GUS denial Of its existence, it, would
make no difference. II a depression
already exists, it is the fault Of the
party in power only to the extent
that, like all the other parties, 1t
neglects to make use of its momen. in
power to strike a blow at the funda-
mental cause of depressions.
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1914-08-06

that causes panics and depressions. If
caused by conspiracies, then we may
be sure that conspiracies to bring
them about will be formed whenever
the conspirators see any prospect of
gain therein. But fortunately panics
are not the result of conspiracies.
They are caused by artificial infla-
ton of prices of what people must use
to carry on production. Every panic
and period of depression has been
preceded by period Of speculation in
land and Initiation of values. When
land values are so inflated that the
price demanded for use of land makes
industry improbable then business
naturally halts and depression sets
in. No matter how much confidence
may exist at the time, the depression
will set in just the same. If land
speculation and artificial initiation
should be. checked, then industry will
continue even though confidence be
conspicuous by it's absence and con-
spirators be plotting to bring on
panics.
If our legislators had the wisdom
and courage to apply the check to and
speculation single tax-tbey

ReIIaire Situation

BeIIaire Situation.
When the matter of strikes and the
unfair list was brought UP, Vice
President OToole reported the situa-
ton in the Bellaire section practically
unchanged, and that several contrac-
tors were not in accord with organic
ed labor. .+-..*
President Snyder delivered a short
talk in which he deeply deplored the
seeming lack of harmony between
certain of the organized labor element
of the West Virginia side of the river
and the Assembly, and took occasion
ito make some most pointed remarks
pertaining thereto. He said, in sub
stance, '"That it is apparent that just
because they cannot have everything
their way, two or three West Virginia
uionists are playing to the bosses,
and that that is situation that must
cease if any real good is ever to be
hoped for" Just whom he had refer
ence to, was not apparent in his re
marks, which seemed to evoke the APP
prevail of his members.

official price lists were printe

keeper. They fixed the maxi

might be sold, and that maxi

Of peace. Dealers who violated
the order were arrested, their
places were closed and their
goods sold at auction.

KING KILLS DRIVER
ESCAPES BETRAYAL.

Paris, Sept. 28.-King Albert
of Belgium escaped capture by
the Germans recently only by
shooting the chauffeur, who was
driving him rapidly toward the
German lines, according to the
newspaper, Progress du Nord,
published in Lille.
Describing the narrow escape
of the king, the paper declares
the incident occurred while his
majesty was making tour of
inspection of the Belgian forts.
He noticed that his chauffeur was
taing him near the German lines
and ordered him to stop. In
stead, the chauffeur put on full
speed and headed straight for tn
enemy.
King Albert drew his revolver
and shot the chauffeur dead.
Papers were found ON his body
showing that the Germans had
promised him $200,OO0 if he was
successful in delivering the King
into their hands.
