HULL SCORES COP.
Says Republicans Efforts to Aid
Farmers. "a Huge, Joke"

Washington, D.. C.. Sept. a.
Cordell Hull, Democratic national
chairman in a statement dealing with
agricultural conditions. declared es-
adjustment of European markets for
the disposal of surplus foodstuffs was
one of the principal needs of the
American farmer.
1T is q hu-e joke he said "to
see these same special interest Renub-
lican national leaders urge as a rem
envy of relief that the farmers cut
down production and that Americans
eat more bread"
If they are at all serious and dis
posed to give real farm relief" he
said, "they can give the farmers much
early aid among other ways by con-
vening Congress and effecting n
prompt reduction Of existing profiteer-
ing tariff rates. and Transportation
rates and by offering some moral and
economic cooperation to stabilize and
unfetter international tradesconditions
so that 250,000,000 underfed people
in Europe can purchase all our sur
plus foodstuffs at top prices fixed by
the law of supply and demand, which
has been suspended in Europe and
prices fixed in a PROSTATE market,
during the past three years"

WHAT THE WORLD IS LOOKING FOR

The world today is looking for men who are not
for sale; men who are honest, sound from the cen
ter to circumference, true to the hearts core;
with conscences steady the needle to the pole
men who will stand for the right if the heavens
totter and the earth reels men who can tell the
truth and look the world right in the eye; who
neither brag run, who neither flag nor
finch; men who can have courage without shout
ing to it men in whom the courage OF everlasting
life runs STILL deep and strong; when who know
their message and tell-t; men who know their
place and fill it; men who know their business and
attend to it men who will not lie, shirl or dodge
men who not too lazy to work; nor too proud
to be poor; men who willing to eat what they
have earned and what they have paid for
men who are not ashamed to say mo" with en-
phasis and who are not ashamed to say 81 can't
afford it."

LET'S HAVE THAT GASOLINE TAX-W

favor the passage OF a law levying 3 cents tax on
each gallon OF gasoline sold in the state We ia
Eor 1t because it is the fairest way to levy tax
Tor road building purposes as it will be paid al
most exclusively by those who use the roads
we favor it also because it does not place bur
den upon the tax payers, present or future, who
would be the ones to bear the burden OF bond
issue. 1t is estimated that with gasoline tax of
3 cents, the automobile license tag fees and 3
cent tax oils, the state would collect about
three and onc-half million dollars year and added
to this, the Federal road funds, approximately
two millions, would give the state department
over five million year for new road construction,
d large enough sum to build our highways in
period of ten years.
1t is recognized that no constructive road build
ing program can be carried into execution with
out large expenditure OF money and it is only
question to how to raise the necessary funds
to meet the demand for good roads Our State
Highway Department as it exists today has and
is doing great work. in maintaining the road
mileage and doing some new construction work
III various sections Of he state
With the limited funds at their disposal, it is
a wonder that they doing as much as they
do do No other set could do more, and most
would do less.
1t is almost certain that any bond ;ssue if auth
orized by the Legislature would not be ratified by
the voters, why not concentrate all efforts on
the passage of a gasoline and oil tax, which is
fair and reasonable and so create the funds with
which to build ~highways that will connect the
county seats contemplated under the law
With gasoline and oil tax, every tourist would
pay his share towards building and upkeep of the
roads that he uses-none would escape paying his
share-and none would pay more than his share
in full proportion to the amount of riding one
does.

Optimism Reigns
Throughout South
Good Reason Is Shown for Increased
Confidence in Business Prosperity
Unusual Activity in All Lines

Atlanta, Ga. May 23.-There can be
no doubt of the optimistic feeling thru
cut the South, and there can be no
doubt that there is good reason for it,
according to Atlanta business men.
I'VE have safely passed thru one
OF the most severe periods of depres
sion the country has known and we
ale the stronger on account of it, for
it has givert the people confidence
ard realization OF what they acn do
ii they must, said Ben r. Padgett,
general manager of the L. w. Rogers
Realty and Trust Company OF Allan
ia, whose concern has undertaken a
farm development project for Georgia
that is national in scpe. O k
And in spite of the fact that the
boil weevil is still destroying millions
OF dollars worth OF our most important
crop annually continued Mr.. Pad
gett, the determined and intelligent
manner i'll which the farmers and their
friends have set about to combat the
PEST gives assurance to all that the
battle will finally end WELL The in
creased diversihcation of farm crops
i'll Georgia and the lessening OF our
absolute dependence upon the cotton
crop, along with the fine conditions
OF our industrial plants is cause for
much optimism and gratefulness in
the agricultural section especially.
Never before have prospects been
so bright for Georgia and the rest of
the South. Agriculture and manufac-
turing, the two industries upon which
we depend for our material prosperity
are both in good condition. The good
price OF cotton has put our farmers in
much better condition that they en-
pected to be at this time, and all 9TH
er lines OF business are showing I'M
usual activity.
The outlook is indeed bright, and

paved road ever built. Now it ex-
tends from Rome to the southeastern
part of Italy. The Appian Way is
one OF the oldest memorials in the
world. This road has outlived all OF
TIE other memorials of Claudus' time.
Parts of the Appian Way are still in
use today. Two of the bridges built
by ClaudiuS have been in constant use
tor 2255 years. There is nothing left
OF the other memorials Could Appius
Claudus have selected more lasting
OF more useful memorial than this
highwoy which is named in his honor?
One of the best and longest high
ways i'll the world is the Lincoln high
way across the northern part of our
own United States. This road ex-
tending through eleven States, from
Times Square, New York CITY to
San Francisco, Cal, is 1924 miles in
length. Surely this roadway OF the
higfeS type OF highway construction
in the world is a better memorial to
Lincoln tfan the most costly piece of
marble could ever be.
There are many other highways
constructed as memorials in the Unit
ed States The most noted OF these
Is the Roosevelt Highway, which ex-
tends from the mouth of the Columbia
River, southwark along the Pacific
coast. Then there is the Boone Trail
road through North Carolina, Tennes-
see, Kentucky, and Virginia, built in
memory OF that great pioneer and
Indian fighter, Daniel Boone. There
are also the Spanish Trails OF Flor
ida, several short highways built in
honor OF those who took part in the
world war, and several others con-
StrucEd as memorials to the heroes.
Last but not least is the Jefferson Da-
Wis Highway. A memorial that all OF
the people OF the South are interested
Ill and when completed will connect
all of the Southern states.
Even the uncivlized races have rec
ognized the value OF highways as remin
ders of great men. The natives of the
Samoan Islands have built in memory
of Robert Louis Stevenson an Eng
lish writer, whom all learned to love,
during his short stay on the islands
in search of health THE Road to the
Loving Heart" This road was built
on the island of Upolu and extended
from Stevensons home to Mt Vaea
where he was buried Could there have
been a more fitting memorial to this
teller of tales or Tusitala as he was
f2ndlv called by the natives than this
