PRESIDENT ASKS
ACTION ON HIGH
COST OF LIVING
Industrial Unrest Can be
Handled-Tarif Re-
vision Urged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-(By AS
sociated Press) recommen-
dations on legislation to combat the
high cost of living, labor unrest, rad
icalism, and the readjustment of the
nation to peace time were the basis
features of President Wilson's annual
message to congress delivered today.
The peace treaty, the President
said, will be discussed in a separate
message later, as will also the rail-
road question.
The message was read today by
clerks, because of the Presidents in
ability to attend in person.
The principal recommendation
were:
Establishment of a budget system
for national finances.
Reorganization of the taxation
system with simplifcation of income
and excess profits tax returns.
Readjustment of the tariff system,
if necessary, to meet changed world
conditions, and to make the system
conform with the fact that the United
States is now the greatest capitalist
in the world"
Recognition and relief for veterans
of the world war, particular in the
way of government farms as propos-
ed by Secretary Lane.
Proper measures to foster the dye
stuffs industry SO as to keep the Unit
ed States independent of foreign
supply.
An enlargement program for ru-
raj development.
Measures which would remove the
causes of political restlessness in our
body polite"
The President renewed his recon-
mendations for legislation to deal eff
fectively with chose persons who by
violent methods would abrogate our
time tested institutions"
He also made several recommends
tions, some of them renewals of pre-
vious ones, made to bring down the
cost of living.
A long portion of the message was
devoted to a discussion of the con-
+, dition and rights Of labor, and "de.
finite program to bring about inn
provement in the conditions of labor''
and genuine democratization Of in
dustry" was recommended. "The
only way to keep men from agitating
against grievances is to remove the
grievances" said the message.
At another point the message de-
clared "The seed of revolution is re-
preston"

Engineers Are
Heard By Board

W. R. Neel, state highway en-
gineer, and E. T. Grassland, federal
highway engineer, of Atlanta, were
in Americus for few hours last eve
ming, making the trip by auto from
Oglethorpe, and held an informal
conference with members of the Sum-
ter county board at the Windsor Ho-
tel for an hour on highway paving.
Both engineers adhered to their
original recommendation that bitumi-
nous macadam was the best type of
road for our conditions, because it
was thoroughly satisfactory paving
and could be laid at so much less cost
if the county did the work itself with
its own convicts. Indications today
were that the commissioners would
proceed on that plan of road build
ing.

How About
Those Empty
Stockings?

Well, yougsters-and you who
are not so young-Old Santa
Claus is getting his things in
shape for his annual trip to Geor-
gia--and the remainder of the
world. He's getting his sleigh in
good trim for the snow fields of
the North country and his auto
mobile oiled and charged for his
trip through the Sunny Southland.
But, as in years past, he's going to
need a good deal of help if he is
enabled to find all the good lit
tie boys and girls, for the houses
of the very poor little children
are hard to find, and it takes pen
MES and nickles and dimes and
quarters and dollars and five dollar
bills to show him the way.
And, so, The Times-Recorder,
according to its past custom, IS
opening an Empty Stocking Fund,
to which the more fortunate chil-
dren may add their extra money,
and the grown-ups can contribute
to making somebody's Christmas
a happy one. The time is very short
only three weeks and day or
two-antil Christmas is actually
here. But that is time enough to
collect a fund big enough to make
Santa sit up and take notice-if
all of us but half try.
And, children, The Times-Re-
corder wants your Santa Claus let
ters. Make them brief, as you have
done in the past, and write very
plainly on only one side of the pa
per. Be sure to sign your name,
so Santa will know whose letter
it is. And if you want to add to
the Empty Stocking Fund, send
your gift along. The money will
be taken good care Of and the
whole amount turned over to Mrs.
C. ]. Sherlock, head of the Asso-
ciated Charities, who will repre-
sent Santa Claus for few days
Just before his arrival on Christ
mas eve.
Three Santa Claus letters ap-
pear in this paper today, the first
received. Let's have some more.
