iects, where waste lands may be
made available for settlement and
productivities, are worthy Of your
favorable consideration.
1.-The fuel problem is under study
now by a very capable finding
commission and any attempt to deal
with the coal problem, of such deep
concern to the entire nation, must
await the report of the commission.
1.-THE widespread difference between
production costs and prices which
consumers pay concerns every citizen
of this republic. 1t contributes very
largely to the unrest in agriculture
and must stand sponsor for much
against which we inveigh in that
familiar term-the high cost of living.
"a super-power survey of the east
GIN industrial region has recently
been completed looking to unification
Of steam, water and electric power
and to a unified scheme of power dis
tribution. The survey proved that
vast economies in tonnage movement
Of freishts and in the efficiency Of
the railroads would be effected II the
super-power program were adopted.
Treaties Of armed allegiance can
have no likelihood of American sane
ton, but we believe in respecting the
rights of nations, in the value of con-
ference and consultation, in the eff
fe ctiveness of leaders of nations
looking each other in the face before
resorting to the arbitrament of arms.
AFTER all there is less difference
about the part this great republic
shall play IN furthering peace and
advancing humanity than IN the man
ner of playing it. We ask no one to
assume responsibility for us; we as
snme no responsibility which others
must bear for themselves, unless
nationality is hopelessly swallowed
up in decentralization.
Again and again the President was
as he outlined his recon-
mendations TO the House and Senate
members assembled in joint session
N the Hall OF the House. His hear
chs responded particularly to his dis
cussion of rural credits and the Am
ORGANIZATION of aliens.
There was o craning of necks when
the President launched into his dis
cussion of prohibition enforcement
and one of his declarations on the
subject-that suggesting trait rigor-
ors and literal enforcement of the drv
law would concentrate public atten-
ton OF any requisite modification
was applauded.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT
FAv0RS COMMUNITY
CHRISTMAS TREE

There seems to be quite bit Of SEN
timent in favor Of holding the usual
community tree again this year with
Santa's visit and free gifts Of pop
corn, candy and apples. as has been
the custom for several years. The
merchants bureau ,favors the idea of
erecting hut in Market Square for
Santa Claus workshop and the plan
mas the special advantage Of originate
ty and novelty in its favor. In fact
negotiations with Santa are complete
and. If the house is ready. he will ar
rive in Augusta next Saturday morn
ing to begin his work at the bench in
preparation for his annual visit to the
homes of the boys and girls. He will
probably be on the Job every minute
after that until the night before
Christmas. when he must hurry on his
swift Christmas journe;.
This does not prevent The holding of
the community tree exercises, however
for the hut is small and Market Square
has plenty of room for a tree in ad-
dition to the hut. The Augusta Cham
Der of Commerce will gladly handle
the project as a community affair if
the citizens wish it continued, and will
accept contributions to make this pos
siblc. A fund of about 500 is needed
to provide tho gifts of candy. popcorn
and apples and the various other OK
pcnses incident to the tree. Dollar
subscriptions should be sufficient to
make possible this fund. which may be
sent to the Chamber of Commerce by
anyone desiring to have the tree con-
tinued.
The little hut will be available as a
receiving station for gifts for the
needy, which will be care fully distrib-
uted under the auspices of the Cham
Der of Commerce and through the reg
ularly established channels for such
distribution. Thus anyone who wishes
to make a less fortunate neighbor
happy may leave his or her gifts with
Santa and they will be properly taken
care of.
