The Legislature Of Georgia


The Georgia legislature has been
in session more than a month.
Many, very many, bills have been
introduced in the House and in the
Senate.
Quite large number have passed
one or the other Of the various
branches Of the general assembly,
but few, if any, have been adopted
by both houses and sent to the
governor for his signature.
Why this waste of time? The
legislature has only fifty days in
which to transact its business. So
far, then, it has no concrete achi.
evementsto show for its occupation.
It has spent the time in discussion,
in resoluting, in barbeeuing, in
taking iaunts, in probing, and in
holding short sessions, featured
chiefly by the presentation of bills.
Why should the legislature indul-
ge in this improbable method Of
doing business when there are such
important measures pending as the
compulsory education bill, the
Western and Atlantic lease bills,
the better election law bill and other
matters Of almost equal import
ance?
If the peoples time must be vast.
ed in this extravagrnt manner, by
all means let us have biennial ses-
sions. Then, perhaps, the legis-
latOrs would better appreciate their
duties and their opportunities for

Always Safety First

You say that you want some

the jeweler to the bashful young

Is the Young lady your sister,"

We'll, if l were you I would
not have George to his dearest
Alice engraved on the ring. If
Alice changes her mind you can't
use the ring again.
What would you spggest?"
Il would suggest the words

Old Man Calamity On The Kun
The calamity bowler can howl;
the pessimist can vail, but all Of US
are obliged 10 face facts, look them
in the eye, and then admit them.
All over this great country busi-
ness is looking up. Empty freight
cars are being pushed out Of the
sidings and extra trains are going
into service. The demand for steel
and iron isincreasing every day, and
nearly every other kind Of business
10 the country is showing the slim
illus Of renewed energy and conf
dence. Old Man Calamityis on the
run.
The wheat crop is estimated at
1858, 900, 600 bushels, while the oat
crop reaches the enormous amount
Of / 1893, 900, 900 bushels, and the
corn reaches the enormous amount
Of / 1893, 900, 900 bushels, and the
corn crop startles the imagination
when the number Of bushels is con-
sidered, the total being 2,S14, 000,-
600 bushelsI The cotton crop,
while hardly far enough advanced
to warrant correct estimate, the
best authorities place the yield at
100000 bales, which will insure
a fair price if the seas can be kept
open to commerce, and we feel
reasonably sure this can be done.
This is a great country. We can
feed and clothe the entire civilized
world, and then have some left over.
And if the European war continues
very much longer that is exactly
what we will be doing.
Deplorable as iii is the fratricidal
strife across the seas is this country's
opportunity. Production in Europe
is paralyzed. The people are being
slaughtered by the millions. Oh,
the shame of it'll And when the
sword is sheathed and an inventory
is taken look what a dividend One

One great alienist says that Thaw

inferiority" a term which the emf

term which he does not under

We welcome the biennial sessions
hin that has made its appearance
IL the Legislature, although there
isn't any chance Of its being passed
at this session. 1t is a reform
measure, however, that has the APP
proval Of a big per cent. Of the pc,
pie. If it keeps coming into the
Legislature it win finally have
enough friends in that body to pass
! it.
1t is a fact, Of course, that a
great many people haven't given
much attention to it yet, but
enough are thinking about it to
justify the belief that it will become
law, and, that too, at 90 very
distant day.
The people are waking up to the
fact that the politicians will never
favor reform to be made that les
sens the number OF offices or cuts
down expenditures. The more
Offices there are and the greater the
amount Of money distributed among
those who are in office or in poll
/
tics the better they are satisfied.
The bill opening the way for the
adjustment Of the Office Of county
treasurer hung fire for long time,
but finally the Legislature was fore
ed to pass it. Public sentiment in
favor OF it became SO strong that it
couldn't be held back any longer.
And SO it will be in respect to the
biennial sessions bill. The people
will demand it SO strongly that the
Legislature will have to pass it.
| There isn'ta man in the state
who thoroughly understands the 81
tuation who doesn't believe that
one session every two years would
be a good thing for the people. A
very considerable amount of money
would be saved and there would be
a great deal less Of practically
worthless legislation. The Legisla-
ture would get down to business as
soon as it met and would keep
steadily at work until the end OF
Che session. The members, in.
stead Of spending much of their
time at home would be in their
seats endeavoring to push business
along, and they would be prompter
in cutting out matters of little or no
account.
The states that have adopted
biennial sessions, and they are more
than three-fourths of all Of them,
are not thinking Of going back tc
annual sessions. That is pretty
satisfactory evidence that bienna
sessions afford ample time for at
j tending to a states business. Ii
this state thdre are SO many things
:, that are needed and for which there
is no available money that every
reasonable economy should be prac
ticed. Money and a good deal o
it could be saved by biennial SEES
sions, and tie saving would not bt
at the expense Of any interest o
the state. We doubt whether mucl
n of an effort Will be made at this
time to pass the biennial sessions
bill but there ought to be,

Who Pays Taxes
To Keep This
Town Going?
w HEN 4 new bridge is
~ needed, a road must
be repaired, a courthouse is
to built, where does the
money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it?
Hardly. They viii not even
send contribution to help
buy a bell for the new chur-
ch or to help a Fourth Of
July celebration. They pay
no taxes in this town, and
they are not concerned in
its prosperity.
This town must be sup
ported by its residents and
those who live in the i'm
mediate vicinity. II they
insist on sending their
money away then they are
helping to kill their town,
and they are making it
harder for them to, ray the
taxes necessary to maintain
local government and to
make local improvements.
You owe something to
yourself, and you owe some
thing to your neighbors.
You can help yourself by
helping your neighbors.
You can't injure your nei-
ghbors without iniuring
yourself. When you send
money to mail order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and your
self.
