Payne Now For Speeding
Development Of Alaska

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. "a
John Barton Payne, secretary of the
interior, who passed through here
with Secretary Daniels upon their
return from Alaska will urge speed
ing up development of Alaska's re-
sources.
"Some of my predecessors" Sec
rotary Payne said, Seemed to think
that a mine or a tree were things to
be locked up and preserved. But
Alaska is not to be developed by lock-
ing it up. A strict conservation pol
icy cannot be applied to a new coun-
try scantily settled which must in
crease its population by using its
resources. l believe that for some
time the wealth of the territory
should be used for the benefit of hu-
mainly"
Mr.. Payne declared legislation is
needed to provide easier access to
Alaska. Transportation, both for
freight and passengers must be cheap
err and provisions made to handle
traffic during the rushing summer
season.

SCHOOLS

The rural schools of Sumter county
will open on Monday. Sept. 6. 1920.
All teachers drawing pay from the
State funds are required to have IL
cense and to make contract with
the county school superintendent.
The license must be presented in or
der to get the contract valid. The
new school code of Georgia School
Laws (section 1876 and 1877 on page
46) requires every treasurer or seere-
tary and treasurer of trustees in To-
cal tax districts who handle the tax
money to give a bond. These bonds
can be had from the superintendent.

able. nothing muddy, about that
Nor is 1t q new position for Governor
Cox. As he points out, 1t is the same
one which he took in an article writ
ten by him for the New York Times
last May.
Many matters of domestic impor-
lance are discussed by Governor Cox,
always with good sense and force.
We can specify today only his treat
ment of the questions of taxation
and of retrenchment and administra-
tive reform. On them all he is much
more concrete and definite than SEN
ator Harding has thus far venturcd
to be. The republican candidate is
unwilling to suggest a substitute for
the excess profits tax. Governor Cox
Is not afraid to: he favrs small tax
on gross sales, Regarding the bud
get system and the necessity Of cut
ting down government expenses he
Is clear-cut. He names the figure OF
$2,00O,OOO,0OO as the amount that
ought to be Topped of the federal ap-
preparations, provided the govern
ment we're economically and efficient
ly administered.
Other parts Of Governor Cox's
speech will surely be discussed as he
repeats and enforces his views in the
course of his campaign. His franz
dissent from the Harding theory of
the presidency, as an Office to be ad-
ministered by commission of party
leaders or senator's; his arraignment
of the republican platform for con-
tanning no word of pride in the
mighty and humane achievement Of
this nation in the war-these points
and others invite comment. But for
the moment the country will be most
impressed by the issue which the
democratic candidate puts in the
forefront, and by the ability, candor
and courage with which he deals
with it. Honest republican friends of
the League of Nations can no longer
doubt. Governor Cox has made a
manly deliverance which they can
not blink. and addressed to them
tacit appeal which they cannot shirk.
The ideas and the policies which he
advocates ought to prevail. II they
are put before the American people
with clearness and force and with
the drive of an active and rousing
personality such as 1t is now certain
that Governor Cox possesses, we can
not doubt that they will prevail
