ELIMINATE STATE BONDS.

Whether the new state board Of equalization,
changed over to Republican control by the Repub-
lican majority in the last legislature intends to
pay any attention to the recommendation or not,
Governor Listers letter to the board published
elsewhere in this ISSUE urging it to make pos
sible the wiping out of the states bond indebt-
edness by the next legislature struck responsive
chord among the people of the state There is
plenty of money in the state s general fund now
to wipe out the only issue outstanding, normal
school bonds of $2O6,024, thanks to the economy
practiced by Governor Listers administration
and the difference between an overdraft of $261-
$40 on September II, 1918, and balance of
$1,611 ,059 on September 10 last, and the bonds
could be taken up if the state officials had
the necessary legal authority; what the governor
wants the board of equalization to do is to place
the state levy now Eat figure that will leave
sufficient funds in the general fund Of the state to
take up this issue of bonds as as legislative
authority can be secured for so DOING
In this same letter the governor announces that
he will also recommend to the next legislature an
appropriation from the state highway fund to
take up the balance of $4,000 of the Wenatchee
bridge bonds and, as he points out, "should the
legislature act favoraby upon these two recon-
mendations the state would then be without any
outstanding bonded Indebtedness. This is a con-
dition," he continues "that would not only be
desirable at the present time, but would also have
marked effect in keeping the state, in future
from the further issuance of bonds, unless it
should be absolutely necessary as result of some
calamity Detailing the state, such as fire, food or
other cause statement in which all will heart
lily agree.
mo other single feature of Governor Listers
strong and business-like administration has won
SO much commentator as the careful handling of
state funds says the Tacoma Tribune which,
after heartily approving the governors recon-
mendation to board of equalization, points
out how the governors handling of state affairs
has replaced the overdraft of two years ago with
balance more than five times as large, adding:
This is record for economy by the Lister ad-
ministration which will win statewide approval.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
THE INITIATIVE REFERENDUM AND
DIRECT PRIMARY

In these days 'betwixt and between" state and
national elections, when some states have been
holding constitutional conventions when certain
direct legislation in others NOTABLY the dry
laws has brought the subject up in another way
and When those who are paying any attention to
politics at all are discussing the abstract theories
more than concrete, particular candidates. those
reforms of recent years generally called the
initiative and referendum and the direct primary
have been coming in for more or less considera-
ton and not little measure of attack
The decision of circuit judge in South Dakota
for example, that the legislature has the power to
repeal law enacted by direct vote of the people,
raises question of great Importance to the states
which have adopted direct legislation and affects
the whole case of the initiative and referendum.
Obviously there must somewhere be power to
repeal. No condition could be less democratic,
or less tolerabe, than that law once made must
stand for all time, beyond reach of amendment or
revocation but if the legislature may freely set
aside the laws made by the people, there opens a
possibility of conflict that would involve the value
of direct lawmaking.
The case against the direct primary is some
what different. That is solely in the realm of
political discussion-it is undergoing test OPP
ponents of direct nominations do not yet concede
that experience has justified the institution It's
friends have vet to defend it and to seek modiica
tons in its plan that will remove the continuing
objections. One thing that has hampered it is
that, like many another Device it has been mis-
takenly held out an end rather than as a means
At best it is only part in the process of securing
the ttest public servants with the largest degree
Of freedom from other obligations than to the real
master, the public
The chief article Of impeachment of the direct
primary has been the failure of general resort
to it by the voters As matter Of fact they have
failed to exercise the power placed in their hands
fully the theory contemplates though per-
haps more fully in Washington than in other
states where the old habit Of indifference to the
caucus with its indirect effect upon the nomina-
ton, has persisted in the conduct of voters as to
the primary. Ideally correct, the primary misses
its design if it is not attended. The justification
Of it must finally come in the way in which it is
used Otherwise it will be open to constant attack
leading to notifications that will hinder its free
dom and perhaps its ultimate defeat.
Proof Of this is to be found in the Whitney
party convention bills put through the last legis
lature by the Republican majority but held up by
the referendum until they can be voted on at the
general election next year. Then the real test will
come for these bills nullify the direct primary to
all practically purposes. If they are approved
then Washington, one of the first to adopt the
direct primary, will also be the first to drop it.
Are we to say that it is failure?

FORMER COBB COUNTY
MAN WRITES OF TRIP
Byromville, Ca, June 21st.

ByrOHVlllS, va, June list.
Dear Journal:
Please allow me space in your pa
nor to write something in behalf of
Ythe Georgia touring party as / had
the privilege of being recognized by
some Of the Marietta boys: was
called to Byromville On business and
L was told that the tourists would be
there in 10 or Is minutes.
That was the first l knew of it
90 | stayed not knowing who would
come from my old home town. If |
had known it in time l would have
had some refreshments for the BOYS
hut nevertheless, was proud to see
them.
Must say that it did me good to
see Marietta surpass anything in the
bunch. 1t was all nice but Marietta
made the finest display. That needs
no comment for old Cobb is made of
that material and will not be left
behind
A few words about South Georgia
am proud our people are finding
out more about the southern part Of
the state. :. We haze the finest .conn-
try in Georgia. All we need is more
North Georgia grit and ambition
down here to build up and develop
the land. There is no telling the
stuff that can be grown here with
proper cultivation and tertilfzing: =
New settlers are coming in drovss.
Of course there is let up in every
line of business now but we will live
through it and be lot the wiser
for we will learn to take short cuts
and be more economical after it is
over so it will make better citizens
of us in the wind up.
word or so in regard to old
Dooly. l have been living here long
enough to know that anything will
grow here that grows in North Geor-
gia or almost anywhere else. 1t has
been three and a half years since
moved here from Cobb and this year
l have apples, peaches, japanese
plums and currants from trees |
set out since l came. My family is
healthy and malaria is a thing of
the past in these parts. Although we
are having a drouth now we can have
fresh vegetables in our garden the
year round. | believe vegetation
here will stand more drouth than it
can in North Georgia.
Dolly has lot of negro popula-
ton and most of them that try have
their own stock and nice buggies and
enjoy them
lot of white people have moved
to town and turned their farms over
to negroes and that is one reason we
need more good people here to build
up the farms to a better state of
culture.
AS to raising grain here it is a
native oat and pea country. For
instance l had so shocks of oats
threshed that made A. bushels with
out any fertilizer | also sowed five
bushels of wheat with twenty-five
hundred pounds of fertilizer to the
acre and got 40 bushels of wheat.
Tom Owens, one of our Cobb Coun-
ty boys, sowed about the same and
fertilized it and made 80 bushels
0. B. Brand sowed the same and
made 4 6 bushels. So you can see
We can raise wheat here.
The next touring party you can
get up from Marietta that comes
through Byromville let us know and
we will try and have you stop with
us bit any way for we have
bunch of nice people in and around
this place. Sorry we were not on
to your coming this time so you
could have stopped with us.
Your friend
