WAYNE B. WHEELER Sees
HARDING In THE right

Des Moines-(A. P.)-President
Harding was praised by Wayne B
Wheeler of Washington, attorney for
the Anti-Saloon League of America in
his address before the 10Th Interna-
tional Christian Endeavor COW ention
in session here. Mr. Wheelcr's adj
dress was on Patriotism's Chal-
lenge for Law and Order"
eff the teachers of our next
generation do not witness the down
fall of orderly liberty and the rule
of right and see a return to anarchy
and the rule of might, Christian En-
deavor can and must help to create
the sentiment that will make SCOT
fings at the United States constitu'-
rion unpopular said Mr.. Wheeler,
" President Harding was right in his
challenge to New York state recently
when he reminded them of Llncoln's
great pronouncement that nation
could not remain half slave and half
free, nor can it at this time remain
half loyal and half disloyal. The
president said that the safety of
society is in the obedience to law.
If you like the law or not, as long
as it is regularly adopted it is our
business to obey it. President Hard
ing said also, that If every man
thinks that every law must suit him
in order to obey it, he is not a demo-
,rat but an anarchist"
Mr. Wheeler appealed to all the
delegates FROM foreign countries to
Use their Influence in their respec-
i've countries to prevent their coun-
.ries from being used as base for
lefying the prohibition laws of the
United States. Every province of
Canada is represented at the conven-
ion.
"Let. US remsmber that the liquor !
interests in Europe do not represent |
he best element in those nations |
aid Mr.. Wheeler. There is a grow
ne minority III every nation of the
World against the liquor traffic. All |
lations but two have their prohibl- |
ion movements. By making good in
he United States we will aid every
,ther nation in the world to hasten |
he day of final freedom"

water mains, courts of justice,
libraries, postal facilities, the protec-
ton of an army and navy and state
militia, the support and administra-
ton of various kinds of public works
and charitable enterprises, such sup
ervision as is necessary over public
service corporations, weather reports,
agricultural reports and advice, and
all the other useful activities of gov
eminent?
Ask the man who earns $1,000 a
year whether he would willingly dis
pense with all of these public SER
vices and keep his $1,000 of tax money.
OF course he wouldn't, for what use
then would any of his $1,000 be to
him?
Sound criticism of the 1000 ZOO, 900
or 100000 year that the ma
ton pays for government would deal
with appropriations for foolish and
purposes, and with the
wasting of money by executives
through unbusinesslike methods. 1t
Is a question of efficiency. Efficient
government is worth whatever 1t

MANN TELLS MEETING
Glynn County Man Talks on
Estate Highway Bonds-Are
They Needed?"
SUGGESTS GAS TAX
Gives Figures Showing Perma-
nent Roads May Mean Saving
of Many Millions

Just before adjournment Thursday
Hon. B. f. Mann, representing the
legislature from Glynn county, adj
dressed the convention on. estate
Highway Bonds Are They Needed ~
Mr.. Mann's plea to the members of
the members of TIE convention was
to the effect that the $500 mile pro-
posed system of hard surface high
ways in the county could be paid for
through the present waste caused by
bad roads i nthe state. In outlining
a suggestive plan for bonds he de-
clared that the state gas tax and the
state automobile tax should be de-
voted to meeting interest payments
and retiring a bond fund sufficient
to complete the state system as now
outlined. he said that an added tax
of one or two cents a gallon on gaso-
line consumption might be necessary.
"The building and maintenance of
roads now exceeds the entire income
of the State of Georgia." Mr.. Mann
declared. eve must convince the
masses of the state that larger ex-
penditure for maintenance and
building of permanent hard surfaced
roads is economy in the long run,
He said that the economic problem
Of the state, as relating to roads, is
not a question of production but a
question of distribution-th econo-
mical distribution of these products
raised by the farmers of the state
He said there are 10000 automo-
biles in the state worth approximate
" 100000. whose average life
is three years; the depreciation on
this investment being about $50, Co.,
600, in three-year period. A system
of permanent hard surfaced roads
would mean a saving of S3,000,000
to $4,000,000 and the system could
be paved with this saving.
Mr. Mann declared that il we are
to have a state system al all, in his
opinion, it should be built and main
tanned by a high department and
not by the separate counties. He said
that in his opinion the state even
tually will spend between $60,oO0,-
coo and $50, 100000 before an ode
quate system of hard surfaced roads
will exist throughout the state. Mr..
Mann"s speech seemed to meet the
hearty approval of the delegates in
session.
