SOMEBODY SPEAK UP.

One of the propositions which has
)een occupying the minds of the mem
pers of the state highway commission
If late ought to be of vital Importance
o the business men of Cordele anC
he citizens of Crisp county if they
are anything for future development
md business growth. 1t was announc-
ID in the newspapers the other day
hat "A project for highway across
ieorgia had been before the commits
ion. A map indicating the course OF
his proposed highway took it across
flint river just at the point we have
lad in mind so long and outlined &
main thoroughfare from Montgomery
o Savannah by way of Americas and
'ordele.
Talk about development. Just let
hese commissioners come down here
nd run over us with that highway
md if they are ever able to finish il
Without our help or even without oul
hiding it out. we'll promise to keer
our part of it in fine shape. That
,roject would do Crisp county as much
- do ~
ieorgia. and yet we believe our roads
IRE in as good condition as any OF
hem 1t would traverse just that sec
ion of the county that would most APP
)reciate il and would Id values to
he lands world without end.
Many times more business reaches
rading center over the rural high
Ways than over the railroads. Indus
rial development increased volume OF
business, all depend upon a splendid
ystem of good roads reaching far
,ut into the country. County develop
Yent everywhere is strengthened with
he coming of the good roads.
This highway would bring develop
nent into portions OF Crisp that now
ire obscure for want of the very thing
roposed 1t would add strongly to
'ordele's pulling powers as trading
,oint and it would get the business
We are after. Cc,'id we not at least
lei the commission know that we
would like TO have it? Or is there a
likelihood that some of us as yet want
o think further about it? Let some
body speak up.

BALTIMORE WILL VOTE
ON SALOON QUESTION
Presidential and Senatorial Contests
Lost Sight of in Liquor Fight.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 2.-Among the
voters of Baltimore the presidential
and senatorial contests have almost
been lost sight of in the keen interest
manifested in the referendum vote
that is to be taken on the prohibition
question.
There are more than 1900 saloons
and hotel bars in Baltimore, and the
city's revenue from liquor sources is
more than $1,000,000. Twenty Of the
twenty-three counties in Maryland are
already wholly or partially dry.
Tuesday the voters Of the remain
ing three counties, in which are lo-
Gated the largest cities of the state,
will vote on the question. So far as
Baltimore is concerned the betting
odds are in favor of a wet victory,
2 to /.
The liquor interests, however, do
not intend to become the victims of
over-conidence, as is evidenced by
the fact that those interested in the
traffic are pursuing a vigorous and
expensive campaign to defeat the
proposal for prohibition.

WHO'LL PAY FOR 1T?

Somebody in this town is going to
pay for the speed craze sooner or la
ter if our present inclinations are not
curbed. The life of some little fellow
is going to be snuffed out on our
streets in the residential section
where auto drivers try to imagine
they are on the race course, if the
pace keeps up.
Nearly everybody owns car, and
he numbers are increasing rapidly.
The wild mad dash, the buzz of a mo
Tor, and a cloud of dust, high as the
tree tops, is so frequent on all eXcep,
our paved thoroughfares that it is now
almost impossible for a child to eros:
he street without having a close call
"a very close call And on the paved
streets one frequently sees a car a.

all this racing can go on from day t.

'ealize that no one is watching and
soon the speed of the car is frghtful.
The car owner ought to be careful

Somebody is going to make terrible

COUNTIES WHICH NEGLECTED
CHANCE FILING COMPLAINTS

Atlanta, Nov. Inflammation from
the office of the state highway de-
partment today is that the complaints
being made against the eight projects
selected for the first six months work
under the new state and federal laws
are all coming from those counties
in the state which filed no projects
with the department., and who even
neglected to reply TO the departments
letters asking that the counties come
in and cooperate with the state de
partment in furthering the road i'm
Drovement efforts. Attention is dl
rected to the fact, however, that the
general scheme worked out by the
state commission contemplates cover
ing the entire state, and connecting
every county site in Georgia, within
the period of five years, thereby TAX
ing in all the counties
at is the desire of the department"
said Judge E. L. Rainey today, that
every county in Georgia cooperate
with us, an, even though some of them
have not replied to our letters, it is
our hope that they will do so, and take
I'D their share of the work as we'll as
the benefits"

The food crops of the fields of Crisp
next year must be made larger. The
planter must not forget the price of
wheat and corn. Neither of them will
be cheap at any time soon. The best
thing of all, too, is that there is a
local cash market for every bushel
And the next best thing is the fac
that the boil weevil has no use for
either grain

somebody might find us busy with
plans for large corn crop next year
Wheat growing. they say brings in
more money, but the crop we have
been growing for years. the crop that
seldom fails. the crop we know most
about, and that one which is almost a
safe one every time,-the corn crop,
will, Ike a number of the other old
time crops. become a money crop
next year. The porkers must have a
corn wind-up before they are sold for
meat. and there will be more porkers
to feed. A little more,-just plain
corn.

SIMS ADDRESSES
TAX ASSOCIATION
az ASSOCIATED pREss.

Indianapolis, Aug. pa state tax
commission to supervise the work of
tax assessors was suggested by Fred
A. Sims, former secretary of state
Of Indiana and member of the state
tax board, before the annual conven-
ton of the National Tax Association
tonight, in an address on 'Divorcing
the Assessor From Politics"
Mr.. Sims said:
"The assessor occupies, perhaps, as
unenviable a position as an officer as
any of our public servants. The hang
man is the only one which occurs to
mind to be in a worse situation.
"He is confronted by fear and I'M
supported by real public opinion. He
is charged with a serious response
bility and manacled by impossible
condition. If he enforced the law in
this state, wreck and ruin would fol-
low in his path
eff he would investigate who are
the true holders of mortgage security
he would drive millions of dollars
from the state and send up the inter
est rate.
eff he would assess corporate prop
erty at its real vadlue he would create
many fat receiverships.
"Our tax rates have increased until
the general average is more than
three per cent, while our cities ap-
proximate S3.75 per one hundred dol
lars upon six per cent, six cities Sc
leeted from various parts of the state
as representatives showed an advance
of more than forty per cent in eight
years.
at is apparent that we have tax
rate already so high that ordinary
forms of investment Of cash capital re.
turning per cent and per cent can
not pay it--so it must escape or leave
By the exemption laws and otherwise
it largely escapes"
In order to divorce the assessor
from politics, Mr.. Sims suggested ap
pointment of a commission, outlining
his idea as follows:
of first a workable tax law il
adopted a state taxing board of com
mission should be created Iarg
} enough and with ample power owe,
both the official acts and tteure o
Office of the local assessor. It Shout,
also have full jurisdiction to review o
change his assessments upon its owl
motion together with such other pow
er as would give them full authorit
of supervision and enforcement @
their requirements let the local assess
or be under their observation and di
rection and allow him to hold his plac
both the official acts and tenure Q
term as may make for the best eff
cheney.
"The state board of commisio
: should be non-partisan."

GREEKS JOIN IN
HUGE DEMONSTRATION

Athens, Aug. 2s.-Via London
Fifty thousand Greeks joined in a
demonstration before the residence of
Venizelos, the former premier today,
and cheered him with boundless en-
thusiasm when he urged them to send
a committee to King Constantine to
urge him to support the present gov
eminent and prepare the army for "a
possible rupture of existing condi-
tions."
Addressing the multitude, Venize-
los said:
Last week / summoned you to a
demonstration to show you what to
do. Now exhort you to send COM
mittee before the king and to say to
him:
"'Your majesty, you we're the VIC
tim of persons who persuaded you
there would be German victory and
you thought you could violate the con-
stitution. The people do not approve
of these facts. The reservists tele.
graph you that they are ready to fol-
I low you, because they think you al
ways will remain neutral.
| Elections are necessary, but you
must not use your influence politically
as the results would be destructive
The present government is absolute
/ ly necessary. The premier, Alexan
1 der Zaimis, is an excellent man. Yoy
should give the government full pc
litical authority. You must now show
the entente powers most benovolen
neutrality and exercise the army il
preparation for possible rupture O
existing conditions. The liberal party
is confident as regards your posi-
ton"
In concluding Venizelos declared:

ably accepted; otherwise will do m,
best"

HEAVY RAIN IN ONE
SECTION OF CITY

People downtown were much sur
prised shortly before noon yesterday
when one car after the other from the
East Hill belt line came into the bust
ness district, dripping from having
passed through a heavy rainfall. A
heavy rain had favored the northeast
ern part of the city, but downtown
there had been but slight shower,
or rather a good sprinkle. Later in
the afternoon, however, practically
the entire city was refreshed by q
copious shower.
1t was stated that the rain, which
did not reach the weather headquar,
ters before noon, was not officially
measured.

ORDINANCE ON DRY
DOCK WAS NOT READ;
SUBSTITUTE MADE

Contrary to previous announce
ment, the ordinance giving certain
interests the right to construct dry
dock at chosen point along the
waterfront, was not disposed of final
ly at the meeting of the city commits
sioners yesterday afternoon. A sub
, stitute was sent to the. desk by the
city attorney, which makes inrnater-
fal changes in the original draft.
The substitute was held up when it
was announced that a paragraph of
the draft which the city attorney had
intended should be inserted, had been
unintentionaIly left out. This, of
course, would not make legal substi-
tute, and further reading was post
poned until a later date. Possibly a
special meeting will be called some
time this week, as the mayor expects
to get away about next Sunday, to at
tend a meeting of mayors of the coun-
try, in Newark, N. ].
Announcement was made at the
city hall yesterday, that there would
be no opposition to the passage OF
the ordinance as substituted for the
original.
There was some disappointment ex-
pressed when the substitute was Of
fered and it was found that the para
graph had been Internationally omit
ted.
