MAKE A SANE FIGHT

A great majority of the people in
central and south Georgia are
strongly in favor of removing the
state capital to Macon, but they are
the kind that soon get enough of
newspaper hair pulling. Whoever
wins that fight will have to make it
a same fight and reasonable one Long
columns of argument about the part
the negro may play in it are all rot
ten reasoning. The negro is not vot-
ing in Georgia, and isn't just ready
to hear all this excited talk.
The negro deserves a whole lot more
than to be drawn on the other side in
heated political contest between
factions. He has not a thing in the
world to with this question or the
suffrage amendment involving the
right of white women. to vote. The

ship can never be benefited by be
coming buffer on every occasion
where dirty, mean political action is
threatened The good negro ought to
/ resent such suggestion every time il
is offered, and the we'll advanced ne
gro is the only colored man who cares
a straw about voting. He Is the only
possible colored man who may be
helped by the ballot. He dosen't want
his opportunity to vote, whenever u
comes, tied up with base purpose
like that His record is at stake, his
good name is on the rack The ballot
cannot be deserved in p thousand
years if he permits threats like the
capital removal to absorb his voting
potentiaiity.
Eve"y time a refeT2" : is made to
the negro vote in the capital removal
agitation, the author of that refrenece
cheapens the cause he represents
and he unjustly intimates that the
negro would cast the damning vote
if he could. The negro dosn't deserve
any such contamination in advance.
Some day those who have by their
courage and faithfulness labored in
such a way as to deserve the ballot
may get it, and that element of ne
groes ought to have the fairest
chance to exercise the privilege to a
good advantage.
Make the capital fight a sane one.
Let the negro alone. Pitch the fight
on high plane and go ahead with it
in a reasonable manner. That will
count more than any one thing that
can be done.

GROWTH OF BIG PACKERS

The Federal trade Commission
made a long report to President viii
son the other day which contained {
warning of an approaching DONNA

Big Five Chicago meat packers. Here
is "a sketch of their growth as the
Trade Commission gave it to the
PRESENT:
"To reconstruct the economic and
financial history that lies behind this
bare record of outward charge woulC
be an undertaking replete with hu

doubt that such history, if it coult
1e written, would reveal imagination
| shrewdness, and indomitable deter
mination on the part of the founders
of these great Strengthening compan
les, but would also reveal, even il
obscurely, a background of wreckage
brought about by unfair and Cypress

ers in their progress toward theil
goals

the decade, 1S5S-1S67, the Big Five
had built or acquired by 1917, 81
slaughter plants-22 "a times the
number in 1867. In the ten years from
1908 to 1917, their number of slaugh
tering plants increased 60 percent.
Swift, Morris and Armour in,
creased their cattle slaughter from
1850, 695 head in 1898 to 5,157 $50 in
1916, doubling their kill in those is
years. From slaughtering 749 per
cent of cattle slaughtered in inter
state commerce in 19O7-19OS, the Big
Five jumped to sos percent by 1916
1917; from GO percent in calve to
1876; from ZIG in sheep to S6.6 from
53.3 in swine to CO., In the face of
this nine-year growth of the Big
Five, the independert interstate
siaughterers lost g"oGll in actual

in their proportionate shares. In
1908, all interstate independents

1916l917 had dropped to 1,7S3-51S-
their insterstate slaughter cut down
proportionately one-fifth in nine
years. During this period, the Big
Five slaughter grew from $3.50, 1856
