commended constitutional amendments that
would require the Legislature to meet only once
IN two years instead of each year as at present
lhat is wise and forward looking step accord
ing to the way The Leader looks at it. That
amendment and an amendment restoring to the
people the right to vote bonds in any amount and
tor any purpose they desire would make our
state constitution look great deal better. even
If more lengthy.
The present constitution which provides for
annual sessions of the legislature and protects
the people against themselves" by limiting the
bonding power, was written while the menace of
the carpet Dagger and the uncurbed freedman
was still fresh in the minds of every Georgian
and the wounds of reconstruction still fresh in

The Federal International Banking,
Company was organized under the
Edge Act with a subscribed capital
of 100000, of which $3,15OOOO al
ready has been paid in. The organ
ization of the bank was due to the
efforts of Southern bankers, one
the leading members of the organize
ton committee being John K Ott-
ley, president of the Fourth Nation.

Georgia and other southern states
have stock in the Federal Interna-
tional Banking Company, which was.
formed to finance the export of cot
ton and other southern products.
Southern farmers, it was also stat
ed here today, are assured that thew
will be able to get whatever money
may be "legitimately required for
the orderly marketing of the 1921
cotton crop. The Federal Reserve
Board and the governors of the At,
lanta, Richmond, St. Louis, Kansas
City and Dallas Federal Reserve
Banks threshed out the matter at
conference in Washington few DAYS
ago. O
The attitude of the Federal Re-
serve heads toward the South's cot
ton growers, as it developed at the
conference, seems to have been all
that reasonably could have been de-
sired, according to Atlanta bankers.

service of the Southern farmer 1t was endorsed
recently by the Georgia Press Association, an or
ganlzatlon of newspaper editors who are close to
the farmer and whose business and personal in

The cooperative selling idea is ultra-progress-

time when extreme measures are needed and war
ranted. The world winever be exactly the same
agaln as it was before the world war; American
business will never be exactly the same as it was
before the period of unprecedented imitation which
was followed by unprecedented collapse in all
lines OF business, especially agriculture We have
experienced an economic earthquake. The surf
ace OF business is changed in many respects. We
must rearrange many of our highways of COM
MERGE, build new tunnels under new mountains
imposed in the way of business progress, throw
new entertainments and bridges across new val
leys and depressions. Cooperative marketing of
cotton is one of these new highways over which
the South,s staple product must be sent and over
which the money of the cotton users must be sent

THE PRICES OF COTTON MUST BE MADE

SIABLE-Many of our farmer and our business
trends have commented on the editorial repro
duced III Fridays paper from the London Times
IN which that conservative pillar of English public
opinion discussed the hardships of fuctuating
and uncertain cotton market The Times atti-
tude was largely of concern for the cotton man
utacturing interests. 1t was also concerned to a
degree in the future of cotton growing in the Brit
ish Empire An uncertain price, based neither on
actual consumer demand or on actual cost of pro-
ductlon so much fictitious supply and de-
mand as expressed through the speculative mark
cts OF the world where transactions are largely
made on paper with actual delivery of real cot
ton, works a hardship on spnners no less than
on growers.

part of the actual production of cotton and will

FIND A MARKET FOR THE FARMERS

CROPS-ln brilliant address to the Kiwanis
Club of Cordele last week Dobbin Holmes
summed up the needs of the day in South Geor-
gia as follows:
We the most blessed section to be found
anywhere. We can raise almost anything. If
we can increase the number OF small farmers
nothing can seriously disturb Our prosperity
There is no such thing as failure for any length
OF time to small, thrifty farmer. You can take
away almost anything he has except his land and
stock, and by strict economy he will begin pro-
lucng and get practically back on his feet within
a season, provided he is given a reasonable mar
ket for what he produces. The problem for you
and me to solve is to find market for what they
can produce 1t is problem fellow Kiwan-
ans to find a market for the products in this
county"
He recounted the experience of France, nation
OF small farmers in 1870 after the German CON
quest citing her rapid recovery as due to the
thrifty small farmers. She is recovering rapidly
today by the same means. Then Mr. Holmes
pointed to the one thing that the Cordele Kiwan-
ans had done for the city and county in line with
the real economic needs of the section He said
Il have been in Cordele nearly twenty years
and this is the only thing ever brought here thru
the Chamber of Commerce or any other organi-
zatlon, (and we have been taxed enormously to
maintain these expensive organizations that has
really put one dollar in the pockets of the people
we have spent thousands shooting at the
moon. When if we had spent this money devel-
oplng our resources and not trying to pull some
large manufacturing establishment here. which
would have been only experiment, the coun-
ty and town would have been far better off. The
amount OF $5.I5 has been spent so far in estab-
llshng the Curb Market, and from it beyond a
question OF doubt two to three thousand dollars
have gone into the hands of the farmers"
1t is with some sense of pride that any Fitzger-
aid citizens must read Mr.. Holmes praise of the
Cordele Curb Market because it is an off shoot OF
the Fitzgerald market, and was started with the
advice OF Fitzgerald people Fitzgerald has a
curb market equally as good as Cordeles and
both are serving big need
The gist OF Mr.. Holmes address was that bus.
mess has turned the corner" and is on the steady
upgrade now. Farmers have largely recovered
from their grievous condition of last wear ant
