LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor Times-Recorder: see
from the papers that some of our
state house officers are advocating
a special tax OF one cent a gallon ON
gasoline in order to raise money to
meet the expenses of government,
and | have thought over the matter
carefully to see who this tax would
hit hardest and have come to the
conclusion that the Georgia travelling
men, who have more than they can
bear now, would be the main suffer
ers.
In the last few years about 80
percent Of the travelling men of the
state Of Georgia have used cars for
business and it is my opinion that
any offi-escekcr who advocates
this plan to put an extra burden on
the travelling men will have them to
account to the next time they run
for an office. We have all the taxes
on US now that we can bear without
letting the state house officials put
another one on US.
| have no objection to taxing gas
oIine for pleasure cars but for farm
crs and business men who use cars
for strictly business, it would be an
additional burden and a vicious in
justice.
Let the men who seek our suf-
frage use their influence toward
the adjustment of all fee systems,
both in state house and county Off

COTTON GOODS
BY THE PONUD

| Editor Times Recorder: The scales
/ applied to various kinds of cotton
goods, and their value determined by
the pound, instead Of by the yard,
will easily demonstrate what relation
raw cotton bears to the price paid by
the public for finished cotton, manu-
features There are necessary fac
| tcrS in the istributiOu from grower
to consumer, who are entitled to a
fair compensation for service, and
nobody begrudges them that profit
but the scales will clearly show that
the Price received for raw cotton is
only modicum and not a fair pro-
pOrtional share of value represented
in the selling price Of cotton goods
The individual grower doesn't get a
square deal, and the South, in a
larger sense, is being deprived Of the
proper benefits of a source of wealth
perhaps unmatched in all the world.

Il am advising the congress of my ap-
proYal Of II. Il. SOLO, bill making proVl-
sion for the maintenance and support OF
the United States army for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1922 l cannot resist call
ing to the attention of the congress at this
carrying out its provisions while dealing
justly with the enlisted forces of the army
so that a later call for a slight modifi-
cation may not be wholly without notice.
1.-THE bill necessitates a very large reduc-
ton in the enlisted personnel OF the army,
and 1t is doubted that reduction can be
brought about without the summary dis
missal of many thousands OF men who have
a right to expect at the hands of the gov
the government requires of them when they
enlist for service. In perfect good faith.
the secretary of war will proceed to reduce
the army TO figures contemplated by the
congress. The normal expiration of en-
listments probably Will approximate one
half the reduction which the congress has
selected and every effort will be made to
meet the requirements of the congress at
the earliest possible day. 1 would not feel
justified in asking the secretary of var to
enforce the dismissal of men who have en-
listed for a definite term of service. There
the violation of which would be demoraliz-
ing to the spirit of the army Itself and
might prove Il very serious disbursement
when enlistments are desired in the future.
have thought l ought to say these things
to the congress now because in its earnest
desire to reduce the army personnel and
limit army expenditures, the congress has
especially provided that no deficit shall be
created. The secretary of war will seek to
avoid the creation of any deficit, but if a
probable deficit develops in a just pro-
cedure to reduce our enlisted forces, 1 will
report to the congress at the earliest pos
sible day and ask it to relieve the embar-
rassment of the secretary Of war and make
such provision as will be necessary to deal
justly with our enlisted mel while attempt
ing to keep faith with the congress to the
fullest possible degree. (Signedl
