The average Georgian who does not insist
on Georgia-grown and Georgia-made prod
ucts wherever possible is stabbng his home
state in the back" says the Greensboro Her
aid Journal That's the truth, and tells in a
large measure what ails us now. If the mil
lions OF dollars sent out OF Georgia every
year for products that could be grown by
our own people were kept at home the state
would prosper as never before.

The aggregate reduction in the outstanding
war bonds during the calendar year 1921
amounted to $756,390 668. OF this amount
$78,718,413 was in liberty bonds and $751;
681 ,255 in victory notes. Liberty bonds out
standing January l, 1922, totaled SIS POI $780,
400, and victory notes $3,348,2 89, 500, an { j.
gregate of $18,755678,900 1t is not whiting
down the huge sum great deal to pare off
less than $800,000,000 in years time, but it
is something, and every little helps. All of the
remaining victory notes will have to be ia
ken up next year, or refunded. 1t is long
and arduous job we have in front OF us to
pay the war debt, but it is consoling to know
that the job has been begun, that the debt
is being paid in part as we go along.

Average prices of food products on the
farm are now within few cents OF the 1918
level, it is stated by produce merchants, but
the consumer in the city is paying at least
50 per cent more. The figures, which seem
conservative, indicate that either the farmer
is not receiving what in justice he has right
to expect or that somebody else is taking too
heavy toll out OF the farmers products while
on the way to the consumer Perhaps the
truth lies somewhere between these two al
ternatives

WITH GEORGIA EDITORS.

The Conyers Times wants to see the dol
lars and hear the music OF their jingle:
I'VE keep seeing in the papers about how
much money the war finance board has adj
vanced for the farmers. Where does 1t go?
We have looked very carefully over our ex-
changes from every part OF Georgia and the
south, searched the bank statements as OF
December j1st and we can find only one
country bank which shows in its statement
ANY sum of this money. One south Georgia
bank shows the sum of $4,000 advanced by
the board Where is the balance OF it?'
The poor fellow who has property or is in
business has woes innumerabe, according to
this from the Worth County Local:
1T has come to the point where business
man is doing exceedingly well if he is able
to pay all the taxes eXaCted from HIM and to
support his family with what is lett. In the
fall it is county, state and city taxes to pay.
AS soon as he has satisfied these demands
the state is behind him with hot stick for
special license tax. When that is satisfied the
city trims him for an occupation tax, and II
his business happens to the misfortune OF
being a corporation tax collectors, federal and
state, as thick as feas a pet dog, are after
him practically every month i'll the year tor
taxes OF every sort There is one thing GER
tain: That is that taxes OF every sort must
be reduced and many eliminated entirely if
the business of this country is ever to get
back to normal"
