Tick Eradication
In Georgia,

In Georgia. on the first Of January,
1920. the statewide dipping Law"
goes into effect. Its purpose is the
eradication Of the cattle tick.
There is something wholesome and
comforting about the general trend
Of legislation in America, whether
state or federal. Its motive is main
~ creative rather than subversive. 1t
aims to preserve wealth-every-
body's wealth-yours and mine,
rather than to destroy it.
True, the dipping law" is, in a
sense, destructive. Ii is destructive
of vermin. II is radical. 1t plans
the radical determination of "a pest.
II is abolitionist. 1t proposes the
abolition of disease.
In rural communities like Lancas-
ter we find the bone and sinew of the
body polite. II is in communities
like this that state legislation of a
constructive order originates. 1t is
at once our privilege and duty to
preserve and hand down to posterity
the sturdy Americanism Of today.
In the New York foreign colonies
and ghettos, in the sedition shops Of
Chicago. there is enough legislative
propaganda to ill statute book with
revolutionary laws. il its program
ever found its consumation. But
how many Of them would deal with
the compulsory suppression Of dis
ease, whether among cattle or among
men3 And few cattle need "dip-
ping" and sanitary baths as much rs
these malodorous exotics.
