Entire State Is Interested

The proposal to remove the Capitol
from Atlanta is not so much an Atlanta
vs.. Macon affair as it is a Macon vs..
the State of Georgia affair
The Capitol is a State prUuerty, hot
a local property. It serves a State pur-
pose, not a local purpose. 1t should
be located permanently, where it will
best serve the purposes of the people:
It is not a thing to be kicked about from
city to city for speculati tive purposes.
The Capitol has been located in Atlanta
for forty-Odd years. No whisper of com
plants has come as to that save from
the city of Macon.
Even Macon's claim that she is geo
graphically right is flimsy. in that she
isn't the center of the State in any
respect whatever, save that OF mere phys
ical location-which is weak as a sin
gle and conclusive argument.
Macon isn't the center of population
certainly not of white population--or she
isn't the center of wealth or taxation.
1t will hardly be claimed that she is
the center Of culture, in that one sec
ton of the State has nothing whatever
to boast over another in that
Macon isn't the center of anything
save an ambition to take over the Capt.

porate limits and no more

of Civil war into a wonderful metropolis,
Atlanta stiN does not desire to expand
and grow greater by tearing down her
sister Georgia cities
She does not wish and will not at
tempt to rise to further greatness upon
the broken hopes and crushed ambitions
of other Georgia communities,
THE PROPOSAL TO REMOVE THE
CAPITOL FROM ATLANTA is NOT
CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION; it is
essentially destructive
Macon's ambition should be made of
sterner stuff than that.
Americus times-recorder., 1919-07-08
THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY
THECAPITOL SHOULDBEREMOVED.
No Reason Why People of Georgia Should Spend
Millions To Crafty Macon's Ambition To
Grow At States Expense - Why Atlanta
Protests Removal

THE Legislature should kill
the proposed Constitutional
amendment which provides for
a removal of the Capitol. There
IS no good and sufficient reason
WHY the Capitol should be re-
moved from Atlanta to Macon, or
anywhere else.
The mere fact that Macon
wants it and is willing to put
forth considerable effort to get
it is not by any means a COM
peIllng reason why Macon
should have it.
And there is no other reason
advanced that should challenge
the attention of sworn legisla-
tor of this State.
But for the life of US we see
no reason why any person OUT
SIDE of Macon should grow ex-
cited about it, unless he be a
nonresident real estate owner
or something of the sort, with
material ends to serve. Certain
ly, the common, ordinary run of
taxpayer, who would have to pay
the freight of removal-AND 1T
WOULD BE HEAVY-will find
it more to his interests to leave
the Capitol right where it is and
has been for so long a time, hap
PLY and satisfactorily situated
in Atlanta.
Macon's ambition in this mat
ter is misguided ambition.
Macon is seeking in this thing
to grow not WITH the State, but
at the EXPENSE of the State.
Macon would selfishly promote
her own interests in this cause,
even though it entailed big eX-
pense, unnecessary and unwise,
upon every taxpayer in the State
of Georgia.
Macon Makes Virtue OF Necessity
Macon's campaign has been rather
adroitly planned, to catch the unsus-
pecting
She is not asking DIRECTLY that
the Capitol be removed to Macon,
rather is she pleading that "the peo-
pie be permitted to settle this ques-
ton"
Macon knows, good and well, OF
course, that the Capitol cannot be re
moved EXCEPT by a vote Of the peo-
ple-being a Constitutional amend
ment-however much she might OBJ
iect to that way of settling it. Hence,
in the plea she advances she makes
a SNUG virtue Of necessity.
What she is after is not at all to as
certain the shes of the people-ft
merely is to consummate, if possible
the removal of the Capitol.
Why cannot Macon be altogether
frank about it?

HUN RADICALS OUT
They Bolt Soviet and Will
Fight the Government.
Action Is Expected To Put End
to Congress.

Berlin, April 1e.-The radicals
bolted from the national soviet con-
gress Sunday night, declaring they will
join the Spartacans and flight the
government relentlessly." The action
of the radicals, which is expected to
put an end to the congress, resulted
from a fight for control with the ma
jority Socialists. After the latter
showed themselves to be in power, the
radicals refused to accept compro-
mise and elect some of their members
to the executive committee.
The general strike seems to have
passed its crisis, with the government
winning control Strikers in the Ruhr
district, disheartened by military DOM
mation, were reported to be returning
to work. Resistance to the govern
ment appeared to be weakening every
where except in Munich, where the
communists were reported to be maxi

buildings
German party leaders are planning
to dedicate May as a holiday in pro-
test against the allied peace terms and
for demanding immediate release of
