CRITICS OF HIGHWAY BOARD
NOT JUSTIFIED, REPORT SAYS

Criticism of the state highway de-
partment was entirely without justi-
fication, declared the legislative COM
nlittee appointed to probe the affairs
of the department., in its report to
the general assembly Wednesday.
Georgia has a highway depart
rnent that ranks ahead of all Others"
said the report, land instead of be-
ing criticized it should be deeply ap-
preciated by all minded Geor-
gians."
The report completely exonerated
the department Of all charges pre-
ferred against it, and gave high
praise to the members of the high
way commission for the efficient
manner in which the departments
work has been conducted.
Senator R. c. Ellis, of the Forty
seventh, was chairman of the inves
tigating committee; Representative
McMichael, vice chairman, and Rep
resentative Camp, secretary.
Senators Bond and Pope and Rep
resentatives McMichael and Davis
declared they could not approve the
construction program Of the DEPART
ment, and submitted a minority re-
port. The majority report was signed
by Chairman Ellis, Senators Holmes,
w. o. Fleming, Campbell and Bellah,
and Representative Rutherford, Hol-
loway, Arnold, Perryman, Mayo,
Dykes and M. L. Johnson.
The majority report set forth that
the various complaints filed against
the department were based on mis-
information and did the department
an injustice. One of these charges
was with reference to the purchase
of a rock quarry in Ebert county,
which the committee approved.
The report showed that thorough
audit of the books and records of
the department had shown its &C
counts to be in excellent condition.
An investigation into the distribu-
ton of highway department funds
revealed that the bulk of the money
was paid out to the weaker counties
and counties below the average in
tax valuation, the report declared.
The report commended the organi-
zation of the department and it's
working force. 1t declared the in
vestigation had shown that the de-
partment was economically organ
lied and was operating at a maxi
mum of efficiency

BOYK|V ASKS HELP /
Of CHURCH PEOPLE.

An appeal to church people to
help officers enforce the law is made
by John A. Boykin, solicitor general
of Fulton county. in an article in the
current number of the Christian In
dex. The article is one of series on
law enforcement being printed by the
Index. Previous articles were by ex.
President William Howard Taft and
Judge Andrew J. Cobb. of Athens.
Solicitor Boykin's article follows:
Laws cannot be enforced without
an aroused moral sentiment behind
them. This applies to any law.
Laws are not invented, but grow
out Of circumstances, that justify
and oftentimes demand their enact
| ment. 1t is the public demand that
creates laws. 1t requires a powerful
| public demand to enact any good law.
| If the same force that demands and
| creates a law will back it up, then
| it will generally be obeyed. But if
| those who cause the enactment Of
laws retire or rather rest upon their
oars and leave it's enforcement to
| those who are Indifferent, such laws
will not be enforced. The friends Of
a law must see to it that those who
are charged with the duty of it's en-
| forcement do not fail to discharge
| such duty.
Neither the enemies nor those in
| different to a laws observance can
be relied upon to do this. The senti-
| ment that creates laws must stand
behind them and hold up the hands
| Of those officers who fearlessly dis
true that men who are fearless in
| the discharge of their duty are de-
| feated when they come up for re-elec-
ton, because the enemies of the +1.e
those who stand for law and order
| too often do not. The one great obs
| stacle to law enforcement is the ut
| ter Indifference of many good and
well-meaning citizens to the fate of
| those public officials who dare do
their duty, and in so doing incur the
displeasure Of tho 1awless, who, aids
ed and abetted by corrupt politicians,
often encompass their defeat.
when public officers feel sure of
respond to duty more willingly. The
public conscience should so support
and uphold those public officials who
stand by the cause of good govern
ment, righteousness and law enforce-
ment that they would not be timid
and afraid. The thing for the peo-
pie to do is to make it popular for
| off1ce-holders to stand on the side
of good people, law and order. It
has been stated that law is the em-
| bodiment of the moral sentiment Of
| the people, 1t naturally follows
that the greater this moral sentiment
the greater will be the observance
| of the law
1--WE need in this period of utter
lawlessness q rebirth Of respect for
| the law The church is the moral
| force that must restore this respect
| for the law. When we fully realize
| how much law means to the individu-
| al and to civilization itself, and when
we come to look upon law as the
great Clarendon did as the standard
and guardian of our liberty then in
deem will we have that rebirth Of
respect for the law that we now SO
| sorely need"
