GOVT. PLANS PROBE
Many Agencies About Country Adycr- tise to Get Action on Veterans Claims

Washington, March 23.-Postoffice department inspectors have had their attention called to many cases of agencies throughout the country ad- vertising that they were able to ob- tain immediate action on claims by disabled veterans pending before the veterans bureau, it became known to- day. Many of the agencies, 1t was said, maintained elaborate offices and advertised that within short period after receiving retainer of $10 to $50 they would secure favorable ac- tion in the settlement of any pending claims.
 The department plans to conduct an investigation into the operation of such concerns with a view to determ- ming whether fraud orders shall be issued against such agencies Operat- ing under fraudulent claims. Officials intimated that possibly thousands of veterans or members of their families had paid into the coffers of irrespon- sible and dishonest agencies con- siderable sum in the belief that their claims would be immediately settled.

UP TO THE LEGISLATURE.

Judge G. H. Howard, one of the
most profound advocates of the state
bond issue for good roads of which
Georgia can boast, very pertinently
declares: There might as well be no
federal aid now for many Of The poor
er counties. They are not able TO
match it. A state fund will insure an
equitable distribution of the fund and
make for connected system of good
roads. That is why there seems to
be no considerable division of opinion
about a state fund to match federal
aid to be provided this summer in
some manner"
Those who have taken the time to
study the provisions of the state bond
issue will heartily agree with Judge
Howard in his declaration that MANY
of the poorer counties of the state
VIII benefit more than others by the
passage of the proposed bond issue.
And as Judge Howard says, some
members Of the legislature have sug-
gesEed that only $27 100000 would
have to be raised in ten years and
that that amount, plus such amount
as would be required to make a prop
er adjustment with counties that have
already built portions of roads and
bridges theron, would be all that
should be raised by bond issue. 9th.
ers think the amount should be raised
in some other manner, but how that
much money, even, can be raised ex
cept by bond issue, is problem for
the general assembly
Whatever method the legislature
agrees upon as proper to match fed
eral aid, the constitution should be
amended, according to Judge Howard
because road and bridge construction
is not among the things mentioned in
the constitution for which taxes may
be levied.
In the opinion of those who are thor
oughly conversant with the provi
sions of the measure, if a bond issue
of some size is not agreed upon, there
is no other way of raising the neces
sary money except by some form OF
taxation.
In view of the circumstances SUI
rounding this important proposition
the legislature should give it that con
sideration which it warrants. If we
have any highways at all, it will be

BUSINESS MEN FOR CONGRESS.

One advantage which England pos
sesses over this country is that she
has a Parliament of business men.
while we have a Congress of LAWYERS.
says the Georgian
In an interview. Frank G. Munson,
president of the Munson Steamship
Lines. said the other day:
1T is interesting to note that
the present British Parliament
has p members VINO are shipping
men, and that there are probably
$50 or more shipping men active
ly connected with the British gov
eminent in some official position.
That makes Great Britain better
able to handle the interests of her
merchant marine in prompt and
efficient manner"
Does anyone know of a practical
shipping man in Congress?
Lawyers. by their training and ex-
perience, are too likely to he obstruc-
tionists, devotees of precedent. wor-
Slippers of the past. Lawyers are not
to be depended upon to supply lead
ership in a changing. progressive
world, where the past must be put be-
hind and new presidents must be
made.
Do you suppose that in the British
Parliament, containing u shipping
men, there could be anything like the
obstruction and delay now being ex-
hibited in the House of Represents
! tiyes in opposition to the subsidy leg
islation?
No members of the British ParIia-
ment, with u expert fellow members
to keep them informed, would let
