Editor Boatwright, OF the Swainsboro For
est Blade who is also a member OF the legis
lature, believes that the automobile tag mon
ey should be kept at home. He says
The money arising from the sale OF
automobile tags and which is applied,
or should be, to road purposes, should
be kept in the county in which the tag
is sold. There is no sense nor economy
in having to send this money to Atlanta
when it could Just as we'll be collected
here by the ordinary or by some other
officer designated, and turned over to the
proper authorities to be used directly on
our roads. When sent away, and then
turned over to the highway department,
it goes through so many hands and there
are so many commissions and salaries
paid before it reaches us again till it is
nightly shrunken before we ever get to
see If again. By this manner there could
and would be much more accomplished.
Editor Townsend, of the Dahlonega Mug
get has been thrilled By a race in the Erna
ment the result Of which he tells in the fol
lowing:
On Saturday morning at an early hour
we were very much interested in the race
between the morning star and the moon.
For some time the star kept gradually
gaining. catching up and disappearing
behind the moon al 6:05. and was ont OF
sight about forty minutes when ii tipp-
ed its cap and continued its journey. Not
having studied starology or moonology
we could not tell what would happen
when Mr. Star ran up on Mr.. Moon.
Striking up with Prof. Gaillard later we
were told that the star and moon were
many million miles apart, and could do
no harm. So if we ever witness such d
sight again we will not feel any ways
nervous.

Washington, March 1s-Govern-
mental building and construction
work now under way should be
slowed down and the initiatio- of
new projects delayed, Secretary
Hoover recommended to President
Harding. in letter made public to-
day IN order that they may be
pushed forward at some\ later period
when there is less private consrruc-
ton activity and need for alternating
or preventing unemployment.
The commerce secretary in a re-
port made at the Presidents request
suggested that state and municipal
governments consider the adoption
Of similar policy.
Mr.. Hoover said that a survey of
the situation in the construction
trades had brought out several fun
damental conclusions which he listed
as follows:
1.-The year 1922 was year of
very large employment and activity
in the construction trades and at the
end Of. the year stocks OF construc-
htOAi 'iIS~Nf1 ANS NtIt very U1ut.1 re-
duced. Since the beginning Of the
present year there has been even
more activity than in the same period
last year and the contracts let in the
past few months are of larger VOL
ume than any hitherto entered into
in 4 similar period. Advance orders
for construction materials are upon
very large scale.
Labor in the construction trades
and iI the manufacture of material IS
not only at full employment. but
there is actually 4 shortage in many
directions.
3-Transport2tion facilities avail
able for the building materials are
! fully loaded and almost constant car
shortages are complained of with
/ consequent interruption in produc
ton.
4 would recommend therefore,
that you direct the different diyis-
ions OF the government to initiate no
new work that IS not eminentIy
necessary to carry on the immediate
functions Of the government" the
report said. and that there should
be slowing down of work in pro-
gress 50 much as COMFORTS with real
( econom" in construction until after
there IS relaxation in private de-
m2nGs.'
With his report 70 the President.
NJ. Hoover coupled a statistical
study of the present business situa :
ton which declared that the capacity
Of the industry and its related
sources FOR production OF raw ma
terial was Row being fully utilized
and that prices had shown marked
Increases throughout IFS scope.

Whether the 10Th week Of the
Legislature. which will open at 4.S0
this Monday afternoon, will bring
with it developments which will tend
to smooth the troubled waters, or
whether the situation will become
more clouded, is the question that
the legislators are asking.
Both branches started things last
week in passing several measures
over the veto of the Governor. Some
of these were of minor Importance,
but one doomed up big and was ac-
companied by a flood of oratory
when it was returned without the
approval - the Chief Executive. that
measure being the resolve appro-
priating the sum of s165000. for the
repair of the Franklin Wharf steam
ship sheds at the State Pier at
Portland.
There was parting in the ways
OF the Governor and the Legisla-
ture. The atmosphere changed and
the clouds began to gather. The end
OF the Legislature is gradually draw
ing near. and now comes the qucs-
pleted without an open break be-
tween the Legislature and the Gov
ernor.
Some of the members are openly
expressing themselves as in favor of
showing the Governor that he
can't ride over US" That attitude
is not being advised. however, By
many Of the more experienced mem
bers.
\ The trouble may be attributed in
some measure TO the policy OF econ
omy which the Governor sought 70
inaugurate. While many believed
that the Legislature could ocono-
miZe in certain directions. they saw
danger in carrying that program too
far.
Evidence that trouble was brew
ing came on "Wednesday of last
week. when Representative Wing of
Auburn stated in speech that the
Governor was taking over the per-
og1tives CT the Legislature and
that time had come To take a def
mite position and let the Governor
know where he was at. The speech
" on the Nadeau resolve provid-
ing for the purchase of cases in
which to place the battle flags OF the
Maine regiments in the World War
and to display them in the hall Of
flags en- the second floor OF the state
House. The Governor had vetoed
this resolve because. rs he told the
LEGISLATURE. the matter had already
been cared for ~ Council order
and that the cases were expected 10
arrive any day; that the order had
been given for theJnonths before the
that speech. the House by a great
ma jority passed the resolve over the
veto. although On THURSDAY the SEN
ate refused to do so and the resolve
was dead.
Then the legislature began 70
override the Governors vetoes.
On the outcome Of this situation
whether il will he clarified or devel-
op into an open break-may depend
the date Of final adjournment OF the
Legislature. which IS row being
predicted anywhere between Satur-
day, March 81, and Saturday, April
