The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1922-10-31

A notable newspaper achievement was the
recent annual trade edition of the Savannah
Morning News. 1t contained l04 pages OF
advertisements and interesting and informa-
tive reading matter setting forth the indus
trial growth of one Of the south's greatest
seaport cities and the surrounding territory,
including nearly all of south Georgia. 1t was
magnificent exposition of what has been
done in both industry and agriculture, and
everyone who had a part in its production
deserves the heartiest congratulations. 1t was
in fact a great newspaper.

There is no valid reason why bond issues
by the various divisions Of government should
be tax free. If these securities were placed
on precisely the same basis as others they
still would sell as freely, because their sound
ness makes them an attractive investment
for many people.

The Savannah News makes this interest
ing comment upon the recent campaign IN
Georgia for the United States senatorship:
lust about the biggest feature OF the
senatorial race was the unanimous effort
of the candidates to make it appear that
if Senator Watson could give orders to
the watson vote" in his old-time way
it would 60 to each of the candidates.
The bidding for the Wilson vote has
been indirect Nobody has had the nerve
to come out and say, I'm proud that
] was a Wilson man, that | stand for
the things for which he stood" Senator
Lodge, Of Massachusetts,, may not have
been fond of Tom Watson, but surely it
must please and amuse him to read the
stories of how carefully the candidates
for the senate from Georgia avoided be-
ing classed as Wilson men,.
1t was "a remarkable campaign IN many
respects, and Georgia will never see its lik
again. Let us hope so, at least. There wa
not anything connected with it to inspire o
interest thoughtful, serious-minded person
1t was a contest between the various candl
dates to prove which one OF them loved tn
late Senator Watson the most. At no tim
was their fitness or qualifications for tn
high office discussed or urged. 1t certanl
capped the climax.

'PODNDEXTER
EASY WINNER
Senator has Big Lead Over
Lamping who is Next
High Candidate

u. S. Senator Miles Poindexte1
easily held his title to the repub-
lican nomination in Tuesday's pri-
maries. Incomplete returns issued
this afternoon from republican
headquarters in Seattle show that
his lead over Lamping, the runner
up candidate, is steadily growing,
The incomplete totals give Poin-
dexter 10000 and Lamping $4,000
The vote in this county is fairly
indicative Of the primary results
in practically every county in the
state. Twenty-seven Of Benton
county's 80 precincts give Poin-
dexter 872, Lamping 454, Axtell
234, Griffiths 205.
Congressman John w. Summers,
of this district, was unopposed and
all Of the other four Washington
congressman were re-nominated.
In the judiciary contest Justices
Fullerton, Macintosh and Parker
are apparently high men for the
six-year term but Justice Hovey
has evidently been defeated by
Pemberton.

TO MAKE FIGHT
FOR LOWER RATES
Interior Communities to Oppose
Restoration of Old Principle
by Roads

Determined efforts are being
made to prevent the interstate COM
merce commission to allow the rail-
roads the adoption of lower rates
to Coast cities without lowering
the rates to interior cities. Rep
resentatives of the Interstate Rate
association from eastern Washing
ton met at Yakima, September 9
to raise money to make fight
before the Interstate commerce
commission against the application
of western roads to restore the old
discriminatory principle in making
transcontinental. freight rates.
Spokane agreed to furnish $1,000
of the $1,000 needed If other east
ern Washington points would fur
nish the other $1,000. o. C. Scots.
secretary of the Yakima CONNER
cial club, agreed to furnish its
share of $50 and other valley
towns were assessed as follows
Toppenish, $50; Wapato, $50; SUM-
nyside, $40; Grandview $50; Ken
newick $40 and Pasco $40.
James A. Ford, secretary of the
Spokane Chamber Of Commerce, in
asking support for the association,
pointed out that western railroads
have asked the interstate commerce
commission to allow them to make
a new rate to the interior cities
like Spokane and Yakima from 20
to so per cent higher than the rate
of coast cities on 81 classifications.
The rate association represents IL
interior states and plans are under
way to get congress to pass a bill
that will make the long and short
haul clause absolute, thus giving
coast cities no preference over the
interior towns.
