INTOXICATING AUTO
SHOW PROSPECTS
(From Yesterdays Daily

(From Yesterdays Daily
A committee of Fitzgerald auto
over the automobile show there and
mobile dealers is in Atlanta looking
investigating the prospects for show
in Fitzgerald this Spring. 1t is at
present considered doubtful whether
an automobile show will be held here
at ALL For the benefit of the auto
mobile dealers, users and potential
buyers and for the city of Fitzgerald
the show should be held if any way
possible, even if on smaller scale
than heretofor
The automobile is no longer con-
sidered luxury by even the most
conservative of people. Even the
passenger car has become a neces-
sity, a broadening influence that
makes for fuller living as we'll as
for more efficient business While it
is impossible to expect as great a
volume of automobile sales as last
year for many years to come, normal
prosperity will bring constantly in
creasing use of automotive vehicles
and the rate of increase will be de-
terinined to a great extent by the
vigor of the sales effort.
To quit trying because trying did
not bring the results it once did is a
foolish course Retrenchment in bus
mess should be made on everything
else before it includes sales effort
Just waiting for good times to come
around and send one to prosperity
on the crest of the wave won't al
ways work. Hard times result from
stoppage of buying as often as stop
page of buying results from hard
times. 1t is best to use every effort
to keep the wheels of business turn
ing and when they seem to be slow
ing down to fight the hardest to keep
from stopping.

whole, as we'll as the dealers, is inter
ested in the continued success of the

ALLIES TO MAKE
GERMANY PAY
From Yesterdays Dailvl

tFrom Yesterdays Daily
In the Allied invasion of Germany
this week one who has been follow
ing the International situation and
the railroad situation finds some
thing interestingly suggestive. The
Allies have fixed an enormous sum
as Germany's fine for going to war
Germany says she is unable to pay
The Allies send troops into Germany
to force her to pay, to collect the in
demnity at the conquered nations
sources of income. Whether they
will ever be able to collect what they
want or not is still matter of con-
lecture
Dropping the thought of the faint
analogy, the process of collection
will probably lead to another war as
soon as this generetion of people is
dead and the horrors of the late war
have become only hearsay in the
mind of the living.
Whatever else may lead finally to
abolition Of war, il will not be the

aRed Rae to a Bull"

It is probable that the expression "a
red rag to bull" signffying some
thing which arouses wrath, has been
imported from Spain. where red cloths
are used in the bull rings, in order to
infuriate the animals before the mata-
dor makes his appearance. But bulls
are not the only animals affected by
red. Many horses, especially stations,
are irritated by red; and turkey-cocks
attack wearers of red most ferocious-
ly, as do ganders. Physiologically.
red is a color which irritates and
fatigues the optic nerves; and so It
arouses temper and produces a quar-.
relsome frame of mind.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR
CURB MARKET
(From Yesterdays Daily

Several farmers who brought prod
uce to the Fitzgerald Curb Market
yesterday suggested that the markets
could be made great deal more pop
ular with both farmers and the house
wives of the city if long tables were
built on each side of the park in the
middle of Central avenue in front of
the Post office ON which the farmers
could arrange their goods attractively
and from which the buyers could
select what they wanted at a glance
without having to walk aound and
look into each wagon and automobile.
The tables could be built yerv
cheaply out of rough lumber about
three feet high and two feet wide
along the curb sides under the trees.
The farmers could drive their wagons
a-a automobiles up to the curb of
the park, unload and arrange their
produce on the tables. The ends of
the park should be left open and the
buyers could pass through between
the two rows of sellers. The protec-
ton of the shade trees will be much
needed in few weeks more for the
comfort of the people and to lessen
the chances of the green goods wilt
ing and spelling under the sun.
The cost of such an arrangement
could not. be very much. Either the
Farm Bureau or Womans' Club
should get estimates on the cost and
share the expense equally. City.
Council, the Woman's Club, the Farm
Bureau and the Chamber of Com
merce could quarter the cost without
an appreciate drain on the resources
OF any and Fitzgerald would have a
really permanent curb market and
the beginnings OF sure enough city
market.

COL. BUGG'S TALK
TO THE LIONS
From Yesterdays ]

tFrom Yesterdays Daily
Col. B. L. Bugg, ex-president and
Receiver of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic, railroad made talk to
the Lions Club in Atlanta in which
he made three bad errors: he erred
in tact, he erred in fact and he erred
in judgment.
He erred in tact when he deliber-
ately and brutally classed laborers
as commodity. Labor is commod-
ity when labor is defined as the prod
uct OF human effort not considered
in connection with the other ingred-
ients-raw material and capitol-that
go into finished article, whether
that 60 into a finished article, wheth-
that article be bale of cotton or
traversing a unit of distance by a
freight train. The men who create
this commodity are not commodities,
not in this blessed year of 1921. A
laborer was a commodity in Georgia
in 1862 before Abe Lincoln set the
negroes free. Col. Bugg, if correctly
quoted by the Atlanta Constitution.
considers the price" OF laborers, as
fixed in wages, subject only to the
action of the laws of supply and de-
mand, just as coal and iron and horses
and cows. Such thought is horrible.
We hope Col. Bugg did not mean to
say what the news story seemed to
say he meant
Col. Bugg erred in fact when he
said that the employees sought under
the Cummins-E law to have a
scale of wages fixed the same for all
sections and climates without regard
to local conditions. The Cummins-
Esch law, better known as the Trans
portation Act, specifics seven differ
ent things which are to be taken in
consideration in fixing wages and has
not been construed to contemplate
anything of the sort Col. Bugg said.
The men are standing for the observ-
ance of the Transportation act.
Col, Bugg erred in judgment when
he tried to draw parallel of the
present case here with the situation
in Russia. From the supposed fact
of the Russian debacle, Col. Bugg
deduced that it was the fault of labor
in demanding more than its employers
could pay. Others as wise as Col.
Bugg have deduced from the same
bunch of facts that the fault was in
the employers who had absolute SWAY
over their employees and so oppressed
them by refusing to consider what
was fair and just in pay that they
finally rebelled against their employ
ers, convicted them of oppression OF
their people, and killed them. The
fault, these reasoners deduced, lay
In the employers who oppressed their
men beyond endurance. As a matter
of fact, no one who has all the avail
able data on both sides of the Russian
situation and the railroad situation
would consider that there was par
allel or even remote analogy be-
tween them. In that COL Bugg made
a second error in judgment.
The untruth. fostored both in the
news columns and editorially by
some newspapers, that the present
strike was called at the order or
on the initiative Of national officials
of the Brotherhoods in order to pro-
tect national union interests, should

reason cannot endure hard work in the

VIII Haysls Message
cBrom the New York Heraid)...

Whether Postmaster-Gener Hays
spoke for the President or for the
whole Government. the new taxation
policy which he outlined In his
Cleveland address as essential to
the country's welfare. and which is
sound. practical and businesslilke. is
message OF national hope.
The domestic war debt must in
part be spread over later generations
Of taxpayers. because the taxpayers
OF the present have paid and are
paying more than they can go on
paying and more than the country
can afford to have them pay, for the
reason that the Industrial develop
ment and financial strength upon
which the future OF the nation de-
pends are now throttied by the tax
collector.
The excess profits tax must be re-
pealed, because it both kills incent-
i've and deprives capital and labor OF
the surplus funds which are neces-
sary to build new business and pro-
vide more employment.
The extreme income taxes must
be modified not only because they
tend TO become unproductive for the
Treasury but because they take from
the savings that prudent men are
striving TO lay up for their old age
when they no longer will be capable
OF earning enough to support their
families or themselves.
AS for the new taxes 10 supply
the revenues which the Government
under the stern necessity of war
emergency had to draw by unscien-
tific measures and vicious methods,
they must be more direct, trans
parent and honest. Chief principle
to be called upon II the Government
ever is to be sure Of sufficient in
come TO meet Its expenses and II the
taxpayer ever is to be freed of the
/ extortions which are practised
against him through present tax
