GASOLINE

| When Representative Howard of
Georgia In the house of representa-
i've, the other day, declared that
present indications pointed to 40-cent
gasoline by June 1, he was expressing
no idle fear. His information. accord
Ing to his own words, came from the
secretary of commerce, and the Sec
retary OF commerce found 1t out
when he was attempting to renew a
gasoline contract between his DEPART
ment and the refiners. They de-
manded 40 cents gallon, and the
government halted the negotiations
until it could find out whether the
refiners were joking. Apparently
they were not.
The time was, not so very long ago.
when gasoline might have sold for a
dollar gallon without widespread
comment. Today when it advances a
fraction of a cent a gallon. nearly
everybody talks about it. This means
that since the automobile has be-
come a necessity in modern life and
since without gasoline an automobile
IS only so much steel and wood, gaso-
line has taken its place beside bread
and meat and coal-thlngs we must
nave. In the face of this situation,
he refiners are doubling an already {
high price.
The refiners say the price is af-
ected by the export demand. and
" a small supply on hand. The
ederal trade commission is now veri-
wing reports that there never was i,
greater supply. If it's report does

the least desire to in amy way give
the impression that we do not fee
that Captain Davis would fulfill all
the promises he made. We have
known Captain Davis since boyhood
and never at any time have we
heard the breath of a suspicion that
lie lacked in honesty, honor or integ-
nifty, or that he was weak in moral
courage. Also we have had the
pleasure OF a personal, intimate ac-
lualntance with the other Davis who
seeks the Republican nomination for
governor, ID. w. Davis of American
Fails, covering a period of a number
OF years, and We can truthfully say
rs much of him. His honor and
honesty and courage are Just as
unassailable. And yet the Captain
does not hesitate TO express the be-
lief that D. w. Davis is trying to
isIead the people. Both these men
know to be honest, both are sin
;ere. Either of them would fill the

be launched next Monday night, Feb.

1t is understood that the governors
address will not be a political stump
speech in the sense that most people
have expected, but it will have none
theless direct bearing on the race, as
in it he will tell his homefolks what
he has done as governor and give an
account of his stewardship for the tim
he has occupied the executive chair
Recommending on what has been done
accomplished in the way of legistla-
ton, he will also outline general way
his view for the future, and these

platform and policies which, he will

material field originally.

in the state primary is beginning to at
tract quite little attention; that is
whether the old county unit system
will continue in force, or whether a
statewide plurality vote will control
So far as can be ascertained the SEN
timent is pretty we'll divided, but the
larger number of smaller counties are,
apparently, in favor of continuing the
county unit plan, on the argument that
has been made before, that one county
like. Fulton for instance, can kill the
result of half a dozen or more smaller
counties, and that the "big six could
trade on set of men, agree among
themselves on how their favorite can
didates may be voted for, stand solid
for their slate and virtually dominate
the state. The argument is made, in
that connection that a set of candi-
dates can agree among themselves and
with the six counties perfect strong
organization IN those counties, the
merely do enough work in other coun-
ties in the state t okeep the vote bit
split and thereb ypile up enough p1u-
rality in the six big counties to win
with There is quite little probable
ity that discussion of this subject will
really develop into the most interest
ing feature of the state executive con-
mittee meeting Generally the inn
jression is that the Macon convention
directed that the statewide plurility
plan be adopted this time but it ap-
pears that the matter is left in the
hands of the executive committee.

tackled him bitterly at times, trying to
make it appear that the senator, in
directing his vigorous efforts toward
Britain seemed to be placing Amer
lean dollars above American lives
sacrificed by Germany.
That this was never the senator's at
titude has since been made plain, and
his real position, it is believed, has
been very much strengthened by
support of the southern press and peo-
pie.
In past years the weekly press of
Georgia, as well as the big dai1ies,
have been pretty widely divided on
all questions involving the doings of
Hoke Smith, but their editorial support
on this broad policy of American
rights is almost unanimous.
AS the south sees it, the fact that
Germany has murdered American cit
izens is no reason why Great Britain
should be allowed to become a robber
OF American trade. Senator Smith
has been as outspoken as anyone
against Germany's submarines outrag-
es, but he has been equally outspoken
over Great Britain's violation of Amer4
lean commercial rights, with the hard
ships worked on all lines of Ameri-
can exports, including the South's
cotton crop.

MR.. WALKER ON THE SUPERB
OR COURT JUDGES SALARY.

Fitzgerald, Ga, Jan. II, 1916
Editor Leader-Enterprise, City.
Dear Sir
| notice in your issue of 26th that
Irwin county has recommended an in
crease in the Judge of Superior court
salary and to be paid proportionate1y
by the five counties, composing the
circuit, this to be a constitutional
amendment which of course would
have to be done to get the increase in
the salary You further men
ton that we believe that the Len Hill
Grand jury would give this their in
dorsement and in that event Ben Hills
representative would feel justifiable in
supportin gthe bill. I wish to say in
connection with this suggestion that
l would not oppose constitutional
amendment to increase the salary but
| would oppose any bill and work for
the defeat of any bill that would place
this salary upon the individual coun-
ties comprising the circuit. Our
county is burdened too heavy now
with extra expense and presume every
other counties comprising the circuit is
in the same fix. And as the salary
of $4,000 is now paid the Judge of the
circuit, by the state, out of the state
treasury, I can see no reason for
amending the constitution and placing
this expense on the counties of the cir
