Test Pasture Work.

Editor Dawson News: You may have for
gotten that you ran a story last summer about
our pasture meetings; but | have not forgot
ten it. and want you to know that we deeply
appreciate the cooperation your paper has
given the test pasture work of the Central
OF Georgia. | should have told you this be-
fore, but aside from being very busy my
file OF clippings has been going the round of
cur executives so they might see what the
press thinks of this work.
| feel that the cause of better pastures has
been greatly advanced, for without exception
the test pastures, and others established in
accordance with the test pasture recommen-
dations, have made marked improvement in
the past year. They are all silently urging
every beholder to sow some seed.
! am just as positive that the number Of
good pastures in our territory will steadily
increase as | am that there will be more
good schools and good roads, and that the
pastures are going to share with these other
developments in increasing the prosperity of
cur patrons. In fact, good pastures are go
ing to help increase the number OF good
schools and good roads.
Again thanking you for your efforts to en-
courage pasture building I am yours very
truly, J. F. JACKSON, General Agricultural
Agent, Central of Georgia Railroad.

Mr. McAdoo's Position.

w. G. McAdoo, who, according to news
reports, is expected soon to announce his
candidacy for the democratic presidential
nomination, is said by a wel-known political
writer to be making strong appeal for the
support of the farmers. He is represented as
advocating paternalism IN an extreme degree
because he believes the government should
help the farmer to get more for what he has
to sell and to pay less for what he has to
buy Lifting up the "down-trodden farmer,
then, is one of Mr.. McAdoo's favorite issues,
but there is little difficulty in the way
which is composed of two things-doubt on
the farmers side that he can do it, and the
possibility of the farmer recovering suffi-
GENTLY in natural way before the democratic
national convention is held. If the agricul-
tural condition continues to improve for the
next six or seven months Mr.. McAdoo may
have to hunt for something else.
To promise help to the farmers, or any
other industrial element, is very easy; to pro-
vide it is another matter. Some of the farm
ers are going to wonder about Mr.. MCAdoo's
ability in that regard. Thousands of them are
sure to remember the great scrambhng OF
the railroads when Mr.. McAdoo had charge
OF them during the war, and that will not
do his candidacy a bit of good. Besides, a
great many leading farmers in every section
of the country have not been persuaded by
politicians that the better way out for them
IS through new legislation. They have been
thinking for themselves along these lines, and
great many of them have expressed a
preference for the natural method of recov-
cry. Legislation of paternalistic character
would be artificial Farmers might not be the
free agents they would like to become if the
government stepped in and arranged things
for them. This plea in behalf of the farmers
that Mr.. McAdoo is making may not impress
him so strongly few months hence

PaternaIism Growing.
From the Nashville Herald.


There is a strong tendency in this country
toward paternalism, which it is only another
step to socialism.
tinction is Cudgeling his brain to think of
some new laws that he can have passed that
will take some of the responsibility off the
shoulders of the individual and place it up
on the government.
and the things of winch we complain are
the remedy is more law.
What we need is less law and more en-
fOrcement.
Every impractical and chimerical statute
that is placed upon the books to crafty some
budding statesman who wants the credit of
doing something adds to the growing CON
tempt for law in general
Good citizenship is the thing to be desir-
ed, and the way to make a good citizen is
to place responsibilities upon him. Let him
understand that if things are awry in his
community he is at least partly to blame.
Do not let him think that the trouble is with
the law
1t may be true that a very large proportion
of existing laws are "class" lawS-enacted for
the benefit of some combination or corpora
ton, but more and more laws of that char
acter will not help the situation. Instead of
more laws about one-half of those in force
should be nulli6ed. and it would and could
be done if the right kind of men were elect
ed by the people This may not be orthodox
party argument but loyalty to community. to
state and to nation should receive first con-
sderation at the hands of every true Amer
lean citizen

Fleeing From the Tax Eaters.
From the Moultrie Observer.

"The Florida legislature passed con-
stitutional amendment declaring against
an income tax Tor rs years 1t is said that
millionares from all over The United
States are changing their residence to
Florida. They are said to continue to do
business in New York, Chicago and Cal
ifornia, and go to Jacksonville, Miami
and other Florida points once year to
vote These men, reports state, are in
vesting millions of dollars in Florida
lands and buildings, and, of course, pay
taxes on them. But they do not have to
pay state income tax. "-Dawson News
What is wrong with proposition like
that? Florida figures that if she attracts all
the millionaires to her sunny cline she will
get enough taxes from the investments they
make to operate on. And she will. Million
aires are developing the state at wonderful
pace, and every additional one who builds
him home and transfers his citizenship
down there enhances the value of all proper
ty and this means more money from taxes.
And what about the states from which the
mllionares are fleeing? The states where the
big fortunes have been made. Does it seem
that they have been give square deal? No,
they have been handed something a little
raw but they will, in time, find other means
of getting juice of the big rich boys 1t will
be hard to move fortunes around so rapidly
that they will not get taxed somewhere. This
taxing mania is spreading and it will take a
genius to devise methods that make the mil
lOnaires immune

DEMOCRACY.

O darn the man who does no work and

tween. The world has need OF manly men
whose heads and hearts are high, but only

Our Productive Wealth.

According to the census bureaus report
American manufacturers are now able to
produce annually goods worth $76000,00O,-
600 The immensely Of the figures is empha-
sized when it is known that this means a
yearly production of $500 in goods for every
man. woman and child in the country 1t is
further emphasized by the advice that various
manufacturing lines could produce goods SUI
6cient for millions of people far in excess OF
this countrys population. 1t means that the
United States could produce in nearly all
lines a much greater volume of necessities
and 1uxuries than its own population needs.
Every country that is commercially success
tul must produce enough, either for export
OF home consumption on which to subsist.
Some balance the scales with imports and
exports It is only those that have the posi-
blty of an excess production that grow rich.
Americas wealth in manufactured prod
ucts cannot be figured in possibilities, how
ever, but in realities 1t is not what the man
ufactories can produce but what they are able
tc sell that tells the story of success In 1921,
according to the census report the actual
output was $4,000 100000. That is far in eX-
cess of the productive wealth of any other
country. and it would have been more eX-
cept for the disturbed economic conditions
throughout the world.
The impressive thing about Americas pow
err for producing goods is the expansion in
various lines that has been recorded. Few
manufactures have operated to the limit OF
their capacity. The average is not high, as
can be seen, although higher than that OF
other manufacturing nations America has
gone ahead industriously, expanding in all
directions its industrial strength. 1t has been
getting ready for the expected return to nor
nal conditions throughout the world.

THANKSGIVING Day.

Again we come to Thanksgiving day, its
observance and its reminders. The News
hopes that some reason for thankfulness may
be found in every human heart. Thanksgiv-
ing and the spirit of it is very largely a state
Of mind 1t is something that has its roots IN
the soul The spirit of Thanksgiving comes
from within; it is spiritual quality. 1t IS
not something that is put on from the out
side. as we put on a cloak. No citing OF rea-
sons for thankfulness, no amount OF argu-
ment is going to persuade any one to be
grateful if he wills to be otherwise.
1t would be easy 10 be pessmistc on
Thanksgiving day because of the widespread
unrest that exists even in our own country,
because Of the spirit OF complaint and 1ntol-
lcrance that is so general, because OF the
conviction in so many minds that they are
the victims of injustice and oppression, be-
cause there is so much in the world that IS
still genuinely wrong. Thanksgiving day,
however. is not a day for pessimism. Thank
fulness and pessimism do not work togeth-
cr in harness The teammate OF thankfulness
is optimism. The world is not to be made
right by pessirnism but by optimsnl-sane,
intelligent optimism.
We have made the Thanksgiving day OBJ
servance an occasion for rejoicing and feast
ing, and it is proper that we should do So
Tor Joy should ever accompany gratitude. But
Thanksgiving day is also an occasion for
serious thinking; it is set apart by proclama-
ton of the president for suppicaton and de-
votion, for gathering at family and other al
tars to render thanks to God. Therefore, it
is day for humility and the Christening OF
the spirit and no one can invite the ministry
Of that experience without benefit.
Thanksgiving day is time for self-exam
nation, and anyone who will examine him
self honestly will discover that he has more
than one reason for gratitude; indeed, he
will discover many reasons why he should be
thankful If any people have good and suf-
fcient reason for gratitude it is the American
people. These reasons are spiritual as well
as material 1t is not necessary to attempt
10 enumerate them; they have all been told
times.
If there is one who is so unfortunate as to
believe that he has no cause for thankfulness
we'll hopeless as his case may be, he is to
pc pitied. Nothing can be done for him until
he shall be born again. Even such as he fur
lishes an excuse for gratitude.
If you cannot be thankful be as thankful
as you can. If the spirit of gratitude is not
n your heart seek out someone. Thursday
less favored than yourself and do him a
or a service, and in that way learn
he meaning of thankfulness. Thus you will
attain the spirit and achieve the purpose OF
thanksgiving.

Song Of the Maple.
(On the Church LAWN

Dedicated to Miss Mary Hornady)
O the myriad-tinted maple
In its autumn glory seen,
Brightest hues of gold and crimson
Hiding leaves of summers green.
Huge bouquet OF LEAKAGE glorious
'Gainst cerulean arching sky,
While thro' noontide Sunlit ether
Snow-white clouds are floating by.
It's the glorious years Thanksgiving
Speaking thro' the heart-bright leaves
While deep music OF its anthem
Joins the hymn of golden sheaves;
Voicing forth in silent beauty
All the glad Thanksgiving song,
While the praises OF the nation
Swell the chorus loud and strong!
See the maple in its glory
Royal garments red and gold
Reaching out glad arms of triumph
For the year now growing old!
