ATLANTA'S CITY COUNCIL
WILL INVESTIGATE ITSELF

Atlanta, Ga, May 22.-Atlanta's
city council has decided to probe it
self to find out whether any of its
members are improperly interested
in city contracts and the purchase of
supplies for the various departments.
The probe was started by resolu-
ton introduced by council member
who asserted that il was common talk
around city hall that several MEM
bers of the city council were the f.
nancial beneticiaries OF city contracts
and city purchases. The resolution
did not name any members.
In order to clear its skirts, the coun-
Gil decided to make an investigation.
Following closely on the heels of the
recent investigation of the police de-
partment, which showed that mem
bers OF the police board were being
supplied with conhscated blind tiger
whiskey, the new probe bids fair to
be equally as interesting as the other.

AUTOMOBILE THIEVES
KEEP DETECTIVES BUSY

Atlanta, Ga, May 22.-Automobile
thieves are so we'll organized and ac-
tive in Atlanta and Fulton county
that practically the entire time of the
county police department is taken up
in tracing stolen cars and chasing au-
tomobile thieves.
The police declare that the automo-
bile thieves have an organized syndi-
cate extending over several states
When car is stolen in Atlanta and
driven to Chattanooga or Birming-
ham or some other city, the man who
drives it knows exactly where to 20
and dispose OF it for cash.
Apparently no automobile lock thus
far invented is able to stop them.
The locks on the starting mechanism,
which have keyhole on the dash
board, are simply knocked off with
hammer, the two ends OF the electrical
wires are held together to complete
the circuit, and the machine is start
ed in a jiffy. If car owner puts
chain through his wheel and around
the axle, the thieves pinch it in two
with pair OF clippers having long
arms, and tremendous leverage. They
have been known to smash heavy
padlocks by placing an iron butt be-
hind it, cracking the lock with one
blow of heavy hammer, and tearing
it all to pieces.
Owing to the situation here and
in other cities, strong effort will be
made to pass special and stringent
laws through the legislature at the
next session.

SEDITION ORDINANCE
c. F. DIXON,
Chief of Police.

Atlanta. May 22.-Cities through
out the country have passed sedition
ordinances of varying degrees, &C
cording to the prevalence of sedition
in the local communities, or the alb
sence of it, but the city council of
Griffin, Ga, has probably surpassed
them all with its ordinance making it
punishable by heavy fine and i'm
prisonment for any person to exhibit
sympathy for Germany or discredit
the government of the United States
in any manner, shape, form or fash
ion.

AGITATION AGAINST POWER
COMPANY BASED ON MIS-
INFORMATION SAYS
SPALDING

Atlanta, Ga; May 22.-That all the
opposition to the Georgia Railway
& Power Company's petition for in
creased rates has been stirred up in
Atlanta for political purposes to fur
ther the interests OF ambitious Office
seekers who are trying to make it an
issue in the mayors race, was the as
sertion made to the railroad COM
mission yesterday by Attorney Jack
]. Spalding, chief counsel for the
company, at the first days hearing
Attorney Spalding charged that the
agitation against the company has
been mased on misinformatiOn con-
corning its financial condition and that
the company's petition for increased
rates to meet the increased costs of
operation due to the war has been
seized on by Atlanta politicians for
campaign thunder in the forthcoming
elections for mayor and members
OF the city council.
He asserted further that these po-
liticians have been joined by a group
of lawyers and anti-corporation sta
tisticians who have made a profession
for many years of fighting the rail-
roads and all other interests that
serve the public, and now when the
federal government has taken over
the railroads they have nothing left
to fight but the public utilities.
The company introduced very in
teresting series of exhibits showing
that its gross earnings from all
sources are not sufficient to pay ex-
penses, and on top of this the COM
the development of additional water
Nany is in the midst of contract for
power which the government is ex-
ceedingly anxious to have completed
for the use of industries essential in
the conduct of the war.
The railroad commission spent a
full day in hearing statements and
exhibits by the company, and the
hearing is still on today.

to attention, give him the military salute.
 MT. Pedersen states that condi- tions in seattle are already begin ming to undergo change from the fest and furious days of war. He mentions his position in the Y. M. c. A. and states that this gives him an opportunity of comirg in coz tact with discharged so!t:ers' sailors who are seeking employment, and they are becoming more numer- ous daily. While there is a great deal of work in the shipyards still, this cannot last long and the dis charUed army men will look e,se- where for opportunities" he says. Continuing, Ralph writes, "In this connection many speak of All aska. In fact, among all the Alaskans whom I have met in Seat tle and elsewhere, and they are numerous, there Is not one that Goes r t plan to return to the north. This speaks well for Alaska the coming year"
 The writer says that for days he will see thousands on the streets of Seattle, and will look longingly for a familiar face, but he finds none. Another day he will meet with several. He mentions Mrs. Blanchard and her grandson, Fred who are living in Mt. Baker park, The LandsboNoughs, Mrs. Cook, and Miss Cook. who are at Alki Point, Emerson Rogers, at U. of w. in the U. s. A. T. C., Gordon Powell end wife, Paul McCleland, whom he states chases Up and down Sec CnT avenue as if he Were Seattle's mayor" and the LidGdcoats, the Friedenthals and biggest Of all "is the Pedersen family, who are living near the Franklin High, to which institution Joe and Ruth are in daily attendance.

 He closes by wishing to be re- memered to his many friends.

my-owa-canoe fellow ultimately finds that he is still subject to the Law of Interdependency.
 No one man is strong enough to "Eo it alone" successfully. He may think he is put in reality he guides his steps and adjusts his life Oy the experience of others.
 And this is true with all of us. If We think We are padding our own canoe" We are merely deluding ourselves. As a matter of fact, we are sailing seas fully charted by the accumulated experiences of our forefathers-those good souls who were broad of vision and al truistic in spirit suffiCent to share with Us the lessons they learned. And the more varied those expert ences of theirs and the broader viewpoint, the easier is made our footsteps and the smoother our path.
 We, in turn, must give in like measule of our experience, passing them down from generation to generation for the benefit of those yet to be.
 An attitude of self-sufficienCy and independence maay sound well but 1t is harmful and destructive, both to him who holds it and to those With whom he comes in contact.
 Every thought We think and every act We perform, either adds to or subtracts from the sum total of Good in the world" It be- RooYes us, therefore, to See that our thoughts and acts are construct i've, uplifting and helpful.
 Yes. be independent to the ex- tent of not leaning on another as staff but while you paddle your own canoe" be sure to recognize your INTER DEPENDENCY an6 be willing to chart the shoals and breakers which you find, for the benefit of any craft that may fol- loV.
 Snare your experiences naG hap piness with others if you expect to enjoy life to the fullest. You will then reap the blessings which come from a practical application of The Golden Rule.
