new COUNTIES
Created BY THE
LEGISLATURE
BACON and GAMBLER CREATED
Many Bills Considered By
Lawmakers


bill creating the new county of Ba-
con, which is to consist of portions
of Applng, Perce and Ware coun-
ties and to have the town of Alma as
the county site.
The vote on the bill was 140 for
and 81 against. The house reconsid-
cred its action of Monday in defeating
the bill comforting upon the railroad
commission authority to supervise
railroad crossings throughout the
state, which action puts the bill at the
foot Of the calendar.
Among the new matter introduced
was resolution providing for a COM
j mission to revise the criminal and
civil court procedure in Georgia; a
resolution providing for another COM
mission on the sale of the governors
mansion property, a bill TO require
returns by corporations of their
stock and bondholders for purposes OF
, levying tax on same "a bill to change
the popular vote required for issuing
municipal bonds, and very interest
ing bill by Representative Borough OF
Franklin county, providing for bien-
NAL sessions of the general assem-
bly,.
The latter bill would abolish all
standing committees of both houses,
except a committee on local bills,
would have 20 day session beginning
in January for the introduction of
bills, so day session beginning in
June for the passage of the bills nd
would require the publication of gen
eral bills introduced
The municipal bond bill is a con-
stitutional amendment introduced by
the Fulton county delegation at the
request of the general council of At
lanta, and provides that a two-thirds
majority of those voting in munich
pal bond elections may authorize the
issue, instead of the present require
ment of a two-thirds majority of the
entire registration.
The resolution looking to revision
of court procedure was introduced by
Representative Wohlwender, OF Mus
cogee county. 1t provides for a COM
mission to consist of the following:
Chief Justice W. H. Fish, Of the su-
preme court; Chief Justice r. B. Rus
sell, of the court Of appeals; Attorney
General Warren Grice; a member Of
the prison commission to- be desis-
mated by the governor; Judge S. P.
Gilbert, of the Chattahoochee circuit;
Attorney John w. Bennett, of Way
cross; Attorney E. H. Galloway, of Au-
gusta; Attorney A. A. Lawrence, of Sa-
vannah; Attorney G. E. Maddox,
of Rome; Attorney Albert Howell, of
Atlanta. The resolution appropriates
$4,000 to pay the expenses and per
diem of the commission and calls for
a report back to the general assem-
bly, at the next session. The general
judiciary committee, to which the
resolution was referred, will meet
Wednesday to pass upon it and prob
ably will recommend that it do pass.
Gambler County Passes.
The bill creating Gambler county
which the house originated and passed
was passed also by the senate this
morning. The vote on it was 35 to 8.
The constitutional amendment is nov
ready for the vote of the people. If
they adopt it, the county is created
Cand,er county would be made up
of parts of Emanuel, Tattnall and Bull
loch counties, with Meter as the coun-
lty seat.

Henry Ford, multi-millionaire
automobile manufacturer, who
has astounded the world with the
statement that he will turn over
$40, 10000 of his fortune to be
distributed among his army of
on a profit sharing ba-
sis. Mr.. Ford plans to have
every one of his employees who
is more than 22 years of age re-
ceive salary of not less than S5
a day and work no longer than 8
hours a day. In addition to this,
many of the employees salaries
will be doubled, and younger en-
ployes who have the support of
their families to bear will be aid
ed proportionately.

land and Germany. The work
ing classes in Mexico own less
than a fifth of the other property.
In other words they are disin-
herited. One incident illumes
this whole subject. In the state
of Morelos, before Zapata raised
the standard of revolt, there
were twenty-eight landlords and
200, 900 tenants. Today there
are approximately 200, 900 land
lords and no tenants. The poems
have simply swept the land mon
opolists out of the way, and, by
the right of superior numbers
and strength have taken over
the land themselves. So it is
clear that what is happening in
Mexico is fundamentally an in
stinctive refusal of the workers
to be pushed off the earth.

Judging from the activities of
the various prison reform
schemes, the prison of the flu
ture will partake of the proper
ties of all of the foregoings. 1t
will be a hotel, where the best
food obtainable and the most
comfortable quarters will be sup
piled. 1t will be an industrial
plant, with sanitary and aesthet-
ic attachments, planned, perhaps,
like a city suburb" and it will
have a huge farm connected
with it, with a bathing beach,
golf links, tennis court, baseball
diamond, music hall and no end
of elevating and satisfying at
fractions. 1t will be a grand
place. The man who is FORUM
ate enough to get into it will
come out new, or at least a
thoroughly rebuilt citizen. Res
idence will be so attractive that
no one can afford to forego at
least one winter in it. Looking
forward along the line of present
tendencies it is not hard to fore
see a day when the worst pun
ishment that can be inflicted on
any man will be banishment
from state prison out into the
cold unregulated world.

eye on the governors chair.
From Mohave county comes the
news that a miniature boom for
Senator Henry Lovin has been
launched, but it is not known
how Lovin feels about it.
A few weeks ago there was a
definite move on foot to concen-
trate the anti-Hunt Democrats
on Don c.. Babbitt, of Mesa.
But Babbitt is not willing to in
ject himself into the guberna-
torial fight. He would rather run
far corporation commissioner and
probably will announce himself
soon. Babbitt is a Mormon and
is popular in his church through
out the state. He can probably
poll as heavy vote as any Dem

H. H. Hotchkiss, of Douglass,
is quietly advancing his own can

travels about the state to sell
automobiles. He is the only can

Wood, secretary of the fair COM
mission, stated that he would be
out for treasurer. 1t is now be-
lieved that he was merely trying

When Mark Twain, in his ear
ly days, was editor of a Missouri
paper, a superstitious subscriber
wrote to him saying that he had
found a spider in his paper, and
asking him whether that was a
sign of good luck or bad. The
humorist wrote him this answer
and printed it: "Old Subscriber:
Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good luck nor bad
luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to
see which merchant is not ad-
vertising, so that he can go to
that store, spin his web across
the door and lead life of un-
disturbed peace ever afterward. .

Pierre Venumere is dead. He
committed suicide. For forty
years he had lived in the same
house in Colon. Finally his home
was torn down to make room for
a wall of the Panama canal. 1t
was too much for him. With his
dying breath he cursed all the
American presidents who had
anything to do with the project.
He is quoted as saying: Damn
Roosevelt! Damn Taft! Damn
Wilson! I'll meet them on the
brink of hell with a pitch-fork of
fire.. :" The death of this man is
of no more consequence than the
threat, and yet his going further
deciminates the number of those
old-fashioned people who still be-
lieve in literal hell-fre.

The release of Harry K. Thaw
under bail would not be a public
menace, according to the report
of the commission appointed by
Federal Judge Aldrich, of the
New Hampshire circuit court, to
inquire into the state of Thaw's S
mentality. The commissioners
reported that 1haw is not now
afflicted with any forms of men
tai disease from which he was
suffering at the time he slew
Stanford White. The court pre-
viously instructed the commission
not to embarrass any subsequent
legislation where the broad
question of insanity might be in
volved.

while he went after the place he
really wanted-the PhoniX post
mastership. Reports from Wash
ington are that Wood has the
postofice grabbed with the as
sistance of his old partner, Con-
gresham Hayden.
David F. Johnson, the present
treasurer, is prevented by the
constitution from being a candi-
date to succeed himself. John
son is keeping his weather eye
open, and no doubt will be ac-
lively campaigning for some
other office soon. 1t is believed
that he would not object to a
place on the tax commission. AS
matter of fact, but few Demo-
Gratis would object, as tax COM
missioners are to be elected here
after for six year terms.
There is lively speculations as
to whether one tax commission
er or two will go out the first Of
1915. When the law creating
the tax commission was passed
it provided that the governor
should appoint the three commits
sioners one to hold office till the
first day of 1913. one till 1915
and one till 1917. P, j. Miller
received the short term. Charles
R. Howe the long term and C.
M. Zander the intermediate one.
At the time the law was pas
sed it was supposed that there
would be a general election in
1912. Under now famous de-
cision of the supreme court all
state officers are holding over
till 1915. Miller remains in office
till the date when, under provis-
ions of the law, Zander's term
expires.

For several years the women
of England have been fighting
for the ballot. For several years
the women of the United States
have been doing the same. The
English women are no nearer
their cherished end than when
they began. Nine of the United
States have given the women the
ballot. Do you know why of the
wherefore? The English women

Political Breeze Blows
From ArizOna'S Capital

A correspondent writing to the
Bisbee Review, after telling the
story of the announcement of
DR.. H. A. Hughes as a candidate
for the office of governor, covers
the political field of the entire
state with surmises and rumors
as follows:
A formal announcement is ex-
pected from Senator A. A. Wors-
ley any day. Worsley has been
doing a great deal of travelling
about the state, ostensibly on le-
gal business, and has given it
out that Hunt cannot win. Hunts
announcement, of course, is a
mere matter of form. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that he will
be a candidate to succeed him
self. He believes that if he is
reelected his policies, which
have been so widely attacked,
will be 'vindicated."
Others who may get into the
race are Senator H. A. Davis, of
Phoenix, J. w. Weatherford, of
Flagstaff, and Reese M. Ling, of
Phoenix. Reports have long been
coming from Cochise county that
Senator C. N. Roberts had his
