ST ,o0o,0oo WILL BE SAVED BY
GEORGIA PAPERS AT NEW
PRICES FOR PAPER

Atlanta, Ga, November 28.-Chair-
man w. ] Harris of the Federal
Trade Commission believes the latest
agreement of the New Print Manu-
facturers Association to allow the
Commission to fix print paper prices
for the duration of the war will affect
an enormous saving for newspaper
publishers throughout the country.
Chairman Harris, who is now in
Atlanta, points out that the news
print manufacturers agree to dissolve
their association, which the govern
ment holds to be a violation of the
Antitrust law, and to abide by prices
fixed by the Federal Trade Commits
sion. Dispatches from New York
and Washington state that the Com
mission will fix a price of cents a
pound until April and will then fix
price for the duration of the war.
This will save the newspapers of
Georgia at least $l,000,0O0 as COM
pared with print paper prices a year
ago." sal dCharman Harris yester-
day
While in Atlanta Chairman Harris
has been visited by scores of friends
who have given him glowing reports
of the senatorial situation in connect
ion with his candidacy to succeed
Senior Thomas W. Hardwick.

BRITISH PRAISE
WORK OF i. S.
PATROL BOATS

Washington, Nov. 27-The work
OF the American naval Aotilla in Eu-
ropean waters again has been warmly
commended by Vice Admiral Bailey
the British official III charge of the
general submarine operations of the
British feet. Information reaching
here today states that the British Vive
Admiral has sent to Admiral Benson,
now in Paris, attending the interal-
lied conference there, lengthy com
munication reciting notable work by
various units of the American squad
ron and praising by name Vice Ad-
miral Sims and several subordinates.
The American destroyers, in addi-
ton to their general work Of escort
ing transports and merchant vessels
through the submarine zone, are TAX
ing over certain sections of the
French and British coast as their own,
and are operating there with sea
planes and new types of submarine
CatcherS
The Americana British French anti
submarine squadrons now are carry
ing the war directly to. the submarine.
They have adopted new plans, which
officials here said today are most eff
fective.
As result, the German, U-Boats
no longer find an open lane to the
Atlantic, and several of them have
recently been driven into shallow
waters and destroyed. The Germans
yards are reported to be again work
ing night and day turning out sub
marines of the biggest type, presum-
ably for a general raid in mid-ocean
and possibly on the Atlantic coast of
the United States in the spring.

PATRIOTS ALL

Rich Americans are doing their bit to win the war with
leading bankers. turned the tables on the demagogues at a 10y
atty meeting in ST. Paul by saying that he will keep no income
for himself during the war, but will devote all that remains
after paying living expenses and taxes to charity and war pur-
poses as long as the war lasts. Mr.. Kahn is a naturallzed
American, born in Germany, and knows what Prussianlsm
means.
Those who own property or have important business inter
csts in the United States realize that the loss of this war would
mean financial ruin. Pro-German demagogues call this a rich
mans war and a poor mans fight Patriotism and self-inter-
est are on the same sides, now that we are at war; but self
interest would have made every rich American a paclflst before
we committed ourselves to battle for liberty and democracy had
patriotism not demanded the redress of intOlerable wrongs.
Had we swallowed the kaisers insults and meekly submit
ted to the outrages he inflicted on us we would be making more
money today than ever before at the expense of those who are
now our allies. Self interest cried for peace and the rich have
of war. They have lost war profits, they are taxed more heav-
lily than the wealthy of any other country and they face ruin If
the war goes against us. Within a year the shrinkage in the
market value of stocks and bonds listed on the New York Stock
Exchange amounts to more than two billion dollars, yet dema-
gogues talk about a Wall Street war.
The rich and the sons of the rich are in the army and navy
offering their lives as well as their fortunes to their country.
All classes of loyal Americans are doing their bit. Those who
try to foment class preiudices in war time are servants of the
kaiser and traitors to the United States. The only difference
among Americans is in the value of their services. Those who
have most are doing most, but all are doing what they can. -

OUR WARTIME EFFICIENCY

In time of war the president of the United States is an ir-
removable ruler invested with dictatorial powers during his
term of office. He can select his own cabinet and official ad-
visers and they cannot be removed from office by a recalcitrant
congress. If the congressional election in November, 1918,
should change the political complexion of both houses, it would
make no difference to the president and his cabinet, who would
hold office undisturbed by the opposition's control of congress.
The president would remain commander-in-chief of the mill
tary and naval forces of the United States, with power of life
and death over all traitors and deserters.
In Great Britain and France none can tell who will control
their destinies tomorrow. uoyd-George may fall over night
through a vote of want of confidence in parliament and the
president of France may not be able to pick a prime minister
who can win the support of parliament and form a war cabi-
net. The British and French systems of government are sensi-
lively responsive to changes in public opinion and those in of
flee can only hold power by gaining the support of the majority
in parliament. This works well in time of peace, but is weak
in time of war.
By constitutional provisos and congressional surrenders of
authority and prerogatives, the president of the United States
has become the most autocratic ruler in the world. His legal
powers far surpsas those of the German emperor and the presi-
dent exercises them to the full limit in these days of war.
Lloyd Georges tenure of office trembles in the balance because
he made a speech in Paris. No matter what President Wilson
acroin!. Our form of government possesses the stability
requisite for prosecuting a great war and is the best in the
world for that purpose. Little will be heard from loyal lips
about lis lack of elasticity and response to public opinion until
the war is won. Results in England and France will make
Americans content to have a president clothed with dictatorial
pew rIs-New York Commercial.

POTATOES TOO HIGH

Potatoes are so plentiful in the British Isles that the arm
ers cannot sell all their crop at six pounds sterling a th' VI
about eighty cents a 'bushel, the price fixed by the government
to stimulate production. Many farmers have appeared 10 'e
British food controller for permission to sell them at 'hree
pounds ten shillings per ton, or about forty-flve cents a Dushei'
at which price they would find a good market among dlsthlers'
starch makers and other manufacturers of food products ana
technical supplies.
The British government has refused to pay ariier "0
difference if they will sell below the set price of SIX POUNDS
ton, and large stocks are automatically withheld from
ket by the inability of the trade to absorb the supply. Inc ID
iority of farmers favor sticking to the fixed price. III eldh
thousands of bushels of potatoes are being fed to hogs because
there is NO chance of selling all of them at six pounds a ton:
Potatoes cannot be carried over into another crop year n
wheat and other grains. The British crop so far exceeds *
pectations tina, it removes all fear of a shortage of starchy 1000
and the people and armies of Great Britain and France VII De
able to reduce the amount of wheat and other mIlable grains
thew usually consume. War bread will contain a larger pro
portion of potatoes and potato flour, but such bread must De
eaten while fresh and soldiers in the field must have ratons OF
wheat flour bread or hard tack when away from their bases OF
supply.
In time of war the laws of supply and demand may be sus-
pended, but they nevertheless keep on working. America VIII
not be called upon to ship potatoes to England and France and
their price in this country should be lower because the North
American crop also exceeds all previous records. Potatoes are
now selling at wholesale in New York at about twice the price
fixed by the British government, which should put an end to
he nonsensical pretense that the price is due to anticipated ex-
ports. Our winter wheat farmers have not been as diligent as
the British potato growers, the estimated increase in acreage
planted being only five per cent, which is inadequate, to say the
least-New York Commercial.

SECONDARY ENRICHMENT

The theory of ore enrichment may be briefly stated as fol-
lows. according to w. H. Emmons, who has prepared buietlh
625 on this subject recently issued by the United States Geo.
logical Survey: ,.
Mineral deposits that are exposed to weathering, that IS, 10
the action Of the atmosphere, of rain, frost and other agencies,
break down and form soluble salts and new minerals tnat re-
main unchanged under surface conditions. In the course Vi
veathering. however, the ore of each metal behaves In IL Pc
c,1'iar way. Deposits of iron, aluminium, manganese and some
deposits of gold and other metals may be enrlcheo near III
surface by the removal of valueless material.
On the other hand many of the valuable metals, lncluohS
conner. silver. and less commonly gold, zinc and lead, go mto
s,lif;on and are carried downward by rain water and re-
dcposiied. and thus parts of the orebodies may be enriched.
Most of the rich or bonanza orebodies of copper, many
Of silver. and some of gold and other metals, have been formeo
in This way. Bulletin 625 describes in detail the geologic con
ditmns favorable and unfavorable to the formation OF enrlched
mineral deposits and gives a summary of the criteria by when
such deposits may be recognized.

SEE THAT ALIENS ARE TAXED

When congress revises the war revenue act to correct its
glaring imperfectons, it should remember that war taxes
should be levied to raise money and not to bait corporations or
crafty spite. In attempting to stab certain interests and in
dividuals "iokers" were introduced in the last stages of its
passage which have befogged the meaning of the revenue bill
and camouflaged the intent of congress.
Sweep all this nonsense aside and revise the federal tax
laws so that they may not burden the honest and provide loop
holes for the escape of unpatriotic tax dodgers, such as the
alien property owners who pretend to be poor by living in fur
nished rooms outside of the cities in which they hold real es-
tate protected from the income tax by fictitious mortgages.
