The Commission Bill

There seems to be some misunderstanding
about the proposed bill to create a one man commits
sion IN lieu OF the present five man commission in
regard to the eleven bond commissioners that are
provided for in the bill in case bond election is
called at some future date
The eleven commissioners do not come into ac
ton or have anything to do with the countv's af-
fairs at all unless bond election is called during
the time set forth in the bill 1922 to 1926 and will
have nothing to do with the countys affairs further
than supervising the expenditure of funds arising
from such an election. In bond election IS
called they would be active ONLY q long as there
were projects under way which were being paid for
by bond money. And when the bond money was
expended as provided by law the commission would
automatically be dissolved
Ii the people of Cobb county want one man
commission they will have chance to say so on the
% day of this month
Inc present system has proven failure and the
county is rapidly going farther and farther in debt
county warrants now sell at discount as much as
% per cent. The county is handicapped because of
lack of credit large demurrage bills have to be paid
on account Of insufficient funds to pay for mater
ials shipped here for improving roads. The county
has to pay exhorbitant prices because of the value
the warrants they issue and the tax payers of the
county have to pay for all this with hard earned
100 cents dollars.
The personnel of the present commission is not
to blame They probably do the best they can, but
under the system cannot give the county an efficient
management.
One man on the job every day can see that eff
fcient progress is made county projects; person
ally see that all moneys are properly expended and
the tax payers thousands of dollars every year
hat are now being wasted through delays, demu1-
age bills and the like. af

cartoon coming to our desk the other day
depicted the unemployed wage worker as brooding
over his present predcament, that of no work and
no money and bewailing the squandering of high
wages during and Immediately following the war
The cartoon is very timely and hits home at
great truth It's only short coming lies in the fact
that all blame is placed, upon the wage worker
Thought out carefully the question also arises as
to why similar lesson should not be brought home
to the business or manufacturer who during
the period of high wages and plenty of work for
the wage worker did not save over out of his
profits which occasionally ran as high as 1000 per
cent, enough money to tide him over the present
financial depression

Communication With Mars

The recent announcement in the press to the
effect that Marcone, the inventor of wireless believes
that the inhabitants of Mars second closest
neghbor in the solar system, endeavoring to get
in touch with the people of the earth through the
means of wireless is interesting to say the least
And what is better STILL is the possibility Of truth
connected with the matter This would result in
giving to earthly inhabitants the benefit of the
knowledge gained by the much older, racially
speaking inhabitants of neghbor planet, which,
it is believed is Of much higher and more ad-
vanced stage than ours.
If successful, it would Immediately give us ac-
tual knowledge of things that have heretofore been
hypothesis and impractical in the opinion
of the great of the people as to form scarcely
any part at all of their mental world We have been
accustomed to think in terms of a world scope linn
it. This would give matter Of fact cosmc view
point, and would perhaps mean more to the world
today than the discovery of America meant at the
time of Columbus
1t would also mean and this is perhaps the
most vital effect, that many problems along every
line, agricultural, industrial political economical
and the like, which up to the present have done little
more than create turmoil and strife in our inability
to properly dispose of them, could Immediately be
dndIyZeU IN Cne fuller experiences and accomplish

Economical calculations the Martans are many
thousands Of Years older than the peoples of the
earth Therefore the stage of civilization through
which we are now passing very probably exper-
fenced by them ages ago. We, accordingly, coulo
probably be placed in possession of the exact knowl
edge of what our civilization will ultimately he
se 83nly faithful comparison can be found in that
OF the savage being suddenly placed in contact with
the most advanced civilization Our position would
be something similar to that of the American indian
when first coming in contact with Europeans. And
the effects would probably be even greater.
There are many difficulties in the way of the
success OF the matter however. The apparent mes

statistieian for Missouri.
mot only is the peak passed in this
country but also in other leading couns
tries Of the world. Index numbers Of
wholesale prices reached their highest
point in various foreign countries in the
spring Of 1920; in England in April in
France in April, in Italy on May l, in
Japan in March, in Canada in May, in
Australia in August. The deAaiion ten

spring, prices have declined steadily and
materially. In England and France the
decline in the general level Of prices has
been nearly in the same ratio as in the
United States.
FARM PRODUCE FACTS
Various data collected by tie Bureau
Of Crop Estimates throws some explana-
tory light upon the great decline Of ag-
ricultural products The spring of 1920
was decidedly backward and unfavorable,
which indicated that crops would be short.
This stimulated prices to a higher level
than would have been attained otherwise.
As the season advanced it became more
and more evident that crops would be
large, The outcome Of the season in
crop yields, as well as total production,
was well above the average, so that when
the fall marketing season set in, the var
ious forces affecting prices were all on
one side.
Crop prices always decline in the
lall as may be seen by any chart Of sea
sonal variations Of crop prices. Crops
were not only larger than average. but
larger than had been expected. and the
