ANOTHER LRW-MAKER
SPEAKS ON RULES

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 23.-The Geor-
gia legislature can perform no greater
service to the people of Georgia at the
forthcoming extra session than a com
, plete reorganization of the rules OF
procedure in the house, according to
| Representative n. F. Culpepper, of
Meriwether county, prominent law
year in his section of the state, and IL
legislator of several years expert
ence.
THE present rules of the souse,"
said Mr.. Culpepper while in Atlanta,
enable small handfcl of astute pol
iticians to manipulate legislation to
/ suit themselves, thrusting forward the
bills they are anxious to pass, and
shutting off the bills they are axious
to defeat
This was strikingly demonstI ated
| at the session last summer, when
tWo-thirds majority of the house found
themselves unable to pass the prohibi-
ton bills. They were SO outraged by
tDeir treatment that they forced an ex
ira session, and the governor, realiz-
ing the utter unfairness of the tactics
employed to prevent the passage of
the prohibition bills, included the pro-
hibition bills in his call.
This year it was prohibition that
caught the squeeze of the liquor traf
| fc's grip on the Organization of the
house. Next year it will be some other
vitality important legislation, unless a
change is made We have no democ-
racy in our legislature so long as the
Present rules continue"

nival will be a free attraction, and
each day will be marked by some pc
culiarly brilliant and novel feature.

anna canal. Sunday has been desig-

mystic krewe will visit the city, and
