GRASSLAND CAUSES
N MICHAEL TRUE BILL
Bibb Grand Jury Indicts Marion
Legislator On Criminal Libel
Charge

MACON, May 2.-E. H.McMicb-
ael, legislator from Marion county
was indicted for libel yesterday at
| O'Clock by the Bibb county grand
jury as the result of an article pub-
llshed in several Georgia newspapers
March 3, in reference to the purchase
OF a marble quarry by the Georgia
State Highway commission. The
charge against McMichael was made
by William A. Grassland, federal
engineer, connected with the High
way commission
The indictment is the outgrowth
of an attack made by McMichael on
Grassland, the federal engineer, in
an article published early in March
IN various newspapers of the state.
which McMichael charges Grassland
with grating through the State High
way department.
The principal part of the Nc.
Michael communication TO which
Grassland takes exception is that
portion which claims that Grassland
advised Neel state highway engi-
neer, and the highway board to
purchase for 100000 IAN old de
funct quarry at Elberton, and there
by pulled in $4,000 of our tax
money" MeMichael charged in his
communication that this was "graft
pure and simple"
The communication further charg-
ed that Grassland was still "chief
counsel for Neel and the depart
ment and makes them buy cement
from the trust of his choice"
Grassland, before he appeared be-
fore the grand jury, denied in toto
the accusation of McMichael. He
said he was sorry the highway board
saw fit to buy the quarry in ques-
tion as he had thought of buying
it for his own use He said he in
fluenced the board in no way in its
purchase. The charge that he die
tated the company from which the
board buys its cement, was char
acterized by Grassland as absolute
ly false" He said he had nothing
to do with the buying of cement
or debating where it should be pur-
chased,

OAMho LhaC about Amer
lca, and the people are already be-
ginning to feel the effect in higher
costs of living and in other WAYS.
DR. Mack is still very young
man, in his thirt;es, earnest to the
point Of appearing intense.
Frcer Trade Needed
Il know nothing whatever about
high politics in Europe" he told me,
"but | have studied the economists
of it pretty thoroughly. The result
OF that study leads me to the one
conclusion that Europe will never
prosper as she should, and could,
until she can have freer trade.
Il will not say free trade. For
there are always inequalities in the
cost of production, labor and so on,
which must be equahzed by means
of an import tax.
'But we, for example, have built
a tariff wall about ourselves which
Is sitting industry and killing trade.
Nations must maintain something
like trade balance and this they
can not do unless they are able both
to buy from and sell to the same
country. This virtual exchange of
commodities keeps the exchange
stable and gives impetus to trade.
"Czechoslovakia can't import
normally because of the high tax
on imports. This has brought about
an increase in the price of our own
products and, of course, an increase
in the cost of living and in wages.
But the wage increases have not
helped the working man because if
he makes more he also must pay
more.
Unemployment Results
'And because we are not buying
normally, other nations, as far as
they can, are turning their orders
over to nations which do buy from
them. This lessons production in
Czechoslovakia and this in turn
means unemployment.
eve are not badly off now be
cause Europe is in a rather topsy-
turvy state. When competition hits
at its peak. When competition hits
us with full force we will have to re-
duce our tariff to the lowest point
commensurate with equalizing pro
duction costs, wages and so on, or
we will suffer.
'You, in America, will no doubt
have TO face the same problem.
