even to the extent of injunction pro-
ceedings forbidding a proposed rail-
road line parallelling the state road
because it belongs to the state. Il is
to be doubted if the state legislature
would have passed such an act last
summer if it had been proposed THAI
some corporation desired to parallel
privately-owned railroad. On the
other hand, there would have been
more or less display of joy, satisfac-
tion-delight.
The state has a valuable piece Of
property and a strong asset in the state
road But competent financial critics
have said that the state would derive
more revenue by the sale of the road
aid the investment OF the proceeds.
The Times Recorder is with Gov
ernor Harris, advocating the sale OF
the W. & A; it is with the score OF
Georgia weekly newspapers who have
steadily insisted that the state road
should be sold; it is with that repre-
sentative class of Georgia citizenship
who does not believe that a sovereign
state should compete in private bust
ness and use its power as a govern
ment to crush all competition, however
legitimate.
If the state of Georgia is to continue
II the railroad business, let our people
assume the chance that every busine IS
takes by legitimate and fair business
AS legal necessity; as a 1doral duty;
as a financial advantage-we believe
the w. & A. road should be sold.

THE BOND ISSUE.

Much interest is centered in the bond
election for the city of Americas which
will be held on March 18th. The ma
jcrity of the citizens realize the fl
nancial Importance of the proposition
which makes the issue necessary.
hTe credit of an enterprise is in
dispensible to its business. This is
Just what the city of Americas wants
to preserve. Not that our city has
been chalked off the ledgers of finance
with the IN. G." mark, but our city
faces a financial crisis which deserves
the attention of every citizen, and the
united cooperation Of all people in
an effort to remedy the state of af-
fairs.
The city is not in this financial con-
dition because of any extraordinary
lavish expenditure of money. These
obligations have accrued because of
expenses which were deemed essential
to the prosperity of the city.
The proposed bond issue calls for
$4,000 for street work and improve
ments-the law requires that all such
expenditures shall be issued for a
specified matter. The bonds are to
bear interest at the rate Of 1-2 per
cent The city is now spending be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 per year
and work essential to the upkeep and
improvements of the streets. The pro-
posal is to use the money derived
from this bond issue in carrying on
the necessary street work and utilize
the money now coming from the COM
mon treasury which is being spent on
the streets, for the purpose of retiring
this floating Indebtedness.
It's business proposition 1t is a
thing that you do every day in your
individual affairs and in a larger
scale in your business affairs.
And another point. The interest
which the city is now paying on it's
debts is accruing at compound in
terest. The city is paying about s
per cent. for all borrowed money on
all due and past due obligations. The
difference between per cent. and 4
IL per cent, will pay for the entire
amount of the bonds during the
period of thirty years.
The registration books close at 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon, March
18th, and every citizen should reg
lister
