Tyler bennett, director Of public
ity for the interchurch world move
ment, is author Of a new book, "A
Better Way" which has created a
storm in American Protestant
church circles. Mr.. bennett is a
churchman who thinks in terms of
economics as well as theology. He
would like to see every Christian
church in the world place sincerely
above its doors the legends: This
church exists that the world may
be free" Mr.. bennett thinks that
the Christian missionary should be
an evangel OF justice rather than
compassion. He must teach eco
nomic freedom as well as spiritual
freedom. Mr. Dement'S views have
been described as radical" and
even "bolshevistic" by certain
clergymen.
Mr.. bennett has been around the
world twice in the past 1--WE year,
studying general political, indus
trial, social and religious conditions
and their relation to the fundamen.

CITY ATTORNEY
INSTRUCTED TO
FILE OBJECTION
Increase Not Now In Or
der, Is Officials
Opinion

At regular meeting of the Ameri-
-us city council last night that body
voted instructions to City Attorney
Lane to draw up and file with the
Georgia Railroad Commission form
al protest for the city of Americus
against the proposed increase in
rates Of the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph company, hearing on
which will be held shortly by the com
mission.
The matter came up when Mayor
Sheppard informed ths council that
he had received formal notices from
the company of it's intention to OBJ
tain an increase in rates, and the in
tructions to the city attorney follow
ed with little discussion.
The opinion among members of the
council appeared to be that a second
increase in rates is not in order now,
just when prices of all commodities,
including those which have increas-
ed the expenses of the telephone com
panies, along with other industries,
are receding.

HARDING SAYS BANK is
NOT TO LEND FOR HOLDING

BlhMlNGHAM, Oct. S-Ihe feder-
al reserve bank is not an institution
for lending money to farmers in or
der that they may hold their crops
for higher prices, said w. P. G. Hard
ing, governor of that institution, in a
statement here today.
J. L. Jackson, director of the
Georgia State Bureau Of Markets..
speaking for the members of the re-
serve system in that state presented
to the directors of the Atlanta Fed
eral Reserve bank meeting here to-
day petition for exemption of taxes
on cotton loans where the money is
used for paying wages and fertilizer
supply bills. Jackson contended that
the object many times now sought
by cotton planters is to pay off debts,
not to pay expenses while holding
cotton off the market.
Governor Harding said he didn't
care to go into the various phases of
the cotton situation in the South and
the demands being made on the Fed.
eral Reserve Bank from parties in
the South concerning the financing of
the crop.

GA. TO GET NEW
CONGRESS SEAT
South and West To Profit
Most From Census
Figures

WASHINGTON, Oct 8.-(By AS
sociated Press. An examination of
the final census figures placing the
total population of the Continental
United States at 105,683,1O8, indi-
Gates that the West and South pro-
Oortionately will gain more in pol
itical way than the East or Middle
West, through increased member
ship in the house of representatives
more votes in the electoral college
and in larger delo~" tions to national
political conventions.
This result obtains whatever basis
Of anUortionment is adopted by con-
gress next winter, fixing the size of
the next house, which In turn is re-
fiected in the electoral college and
conventions.
As result of the increase in pop
ulation fifty new seats must be add

from losing any portion of its pres
ent representation. If precedent is
followed, Alabama, Georgia, South

North Carolina two.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house as they regard the present
membership of ABS too unwieldy
When the house census committee
headed by Representative Segel, of
New York, begins consideration of the
problems efforts will be made to hold
down the increase, but pressure for
increase is expected to come from
states which will benefit from larg-
er house. Only once, in 1910, has the
size of the house been reduced. At
one other time, just before the civil
war, the apportionment was held
down with the resulting loss of seats
falling most heavily on Southern
states.

Shows Menace OF Re
Action In Supreme
Court Vacancies

PADUCAH, KY, Oct. S-The eff
feet of the presidential contest upon
prospective Supreme Court vacancies
was declared by Governor Cox in an
address here today to be "a real dan
ger of reactionary victory, next to
the scrapping of the League of Ma
tions." The candidate stated that at
least four vacancies on the high court
were in prospect. He referred to the
senate's control over confirmation
and to Harding as ga reactionary''
candidate. He added, besides, it
would naturally follow that a reac-
tionary president would appoint four
reactionary members of the supreme
court" Governor Cox gave this rs
one of the reasons why the "senate
eligarchy" should be defeated.
FThere are several reasons why the
senate oligarchy should not be permit
ted to win this election" Cox said.
"Throughout years the senate has
trespassed on the authority of the
house. The constitution provides that
all legislation providing for the rails
ing of revenues shall be initiated in
the house. Yet there probably has not
been tariff measure in the last fif-
ty years which was not changed in
its every line after the enacting
clause, once it reached the senate.
"By the nomination of one of its
own members as a recactionary can
didate for the presidency, it now has
an opportunity of annexlng the exec
4utive department. If the senatorial
ring should win the election, it would
in addition to controlling president
also possess the constitutional right
of confirmation of members of the
supreme court appointed by the pres
ident. 1t will be seen at glance the
senatorial crowd is playing for big
stakes"

SENATE PLAYING VEREEN May Be.
FOR BIG STAKES, new CHAIRMAN
DECLARES COX OF COMMITTEE
Convention Also Expect
ed To Ask Clark
Howell To Quit

ATLANTA. Oct. 8-The result of
the primary Wednesday will mean
complete reorganization of the state
Democratic party at the coming con-
vention. There is much specul ulation
as to just what is to be done. The
generally accepted idea is that w. J.
Vereen, of Moultrie is to be the new
chairman of the state Democratic ex-
ecutive committee. 1t is also believed
J. j. Flynt, the present chairman, will
be the only member of the present
committee retained. 1t was Mr.. We
reen who was presented to the San
Francisco convention as national COM
mitteeman from Georgia. This was
the place given to Clark Howell, when
the Palmer delegation was organized.
1t is reported in Atlanta that the
Macon convention will probably adopt
resolutions calling upon Mr.. Howell to
resign from the Democratic National
Committee because he does not rep
resent the Democracy of the state as
shown by the last two primaries in
Georgia.
There was report shortly after
Tom Watson's nomination for the
senate that if Mr.. Hardwick should
be elected governor and there should
be a vacancy in the senate during his
term of office either by resignation
or otherwise the place would DE ten
dered Mr.. Vereen.
dered Mr.. Vereen. The latest report
is that if there should occur such
vacancy the senatorship would be ten
dered to Hoke Smith. This would put
him back in the senate and would
probably pave the way for Mr.. Hard
wick running against W. J. Harris
when the term of the latter expires
four years hence. The political wise
acres believe Hardwick is going to
do this anyway. The new governor is.
not so years old yet and he probably
has several years of political activity
left to him.
The returns as compiled by the At
lanta Journal yesterday and published
by the Times-Recorder were corrected
today, Ben Hill county with two unit
votes, being taken from the Hard
wick column and placed in Walkers.
The final result now is: Hardwick,
102 counties and 242 unit votes
Walker So counties and 142 unit
votes. One county, Towns, held noI
primary.
Clifford Walker, the defeated can
didate, yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
"Permit me to express my thanks to
the devoted friends developed in tbs
race. Many of them have never
seen. Mr.. Dozier, my campaign man
ager, joins me in this expression 81
