EMORY WILL BUILD
LIBRARY To HOUSE
100000 VOLUMES

A library that will contain 100000
books and will cost between $1,000,-
900 and $2,000,000 when COMPLETED
is planned as the next building to
be constructed on the Emory uni
versity campus, according to the
statement of DR.. H. w. Cox, pres
ident of Emory, speaking Friday
night before the alumni supper at
tended by thirty class councilmen.
DR.. Cox explained that no plans
have been completed for the library,
but he said that such a building,
when erected, will be one of the fin
est in the south, if not the most COM
pletely equipped collegiate library
in the country. He has been MAX
ing a study of library building con-
struction, and has visited several
eastern institutions within the last
two weeks on such mission, incluo-
ing Harvard, Columbia, Amherst
and others.
Harvard university, said DR.. Cox,
has sent word that measuring En-
DRY by the men that you have sent
us, We are looking to you to set the
educational standards in the south. "
-Four members of the class Of 1928,
and several older Emory men doing
graduate work at Harvard, were
met by DR.. Cox while on the Cam
bridge campus.
Following an address by Norman
C. Miller, of the class of 1898, bear
ing on the new addition to the En-.
Dry campus, a resolution introduced
by A. D. Thomson was adopted ex-
pressing the gratitude Of the alumni
body for the gift by the Druid Hills
Land company of fifty-five acres Of
land.
Robert Strickland, Jr., the alumni.
treasurer, spoke on the subject of
the Alumni Loyalty Fund" This
fund will make it possible, it was
explained, for every Emory man to
make small annual gifts to the alma
mater, which, although small in
themselves, will, when added to the
gifts of the other alumni, give EN-
Dry a munificent annual income.
I'VE hope" said Mr.. Strickland,
that every Emory man will con.
slider himself an endowment to EN-
Dry.
Other speakers were Superintend-
ent of Schools Willis A. Sutton, DR.
William G. Warren, Thomas w. Con-
nally and Asa w. Gambler. A tele-
gram was read from DR.. M. M. Parks,
expressing his regret at not being
able to attend.

l3-YEAR- OLD GEORGIA BOY
HAS INSURANCE FOR $lOO, 600

he has shown himself splendidly en-
dowed, being a grade ahead of his
years in school and an omniVorous
reader whose widening tastes already
are coming to embrace financial
journals and the market pages Of
the newspapers. He is far from a
bookworm, however, and plunges
into the hard work Of farm and Or
chard with the same enthusiasm that
he shows for his studies.
When Lurner grows up, he will
probably follow in the footsteps of
his father, who is connected with
sixty banks and other business in
terests in the Monticello section Of
the state. The possession in his
youth of such a huge insurance poll
cy has undoubtedly served to stin.u-
late his interest in affairs of the
business world.
Marvin Motley, of Shady Dale, Ca,
the man who wrote the insurance
for young Turner, and established
the boy as a record-holder, is himsv f
a leader among insurance men, head
ing the list of representatives of lis
own concern, the Franklin Life Of
Springfield, ILL.,, with an average of
$3.50, 900 per year. He is one of the
men who refused to see disaster to
his business in the boil weevil's de-
scent on Georgia, and by keeping up
the fight has won for himself a place
in the sun of the insurance business.

Permanent Export Commits
sion Is Suggested as a
Means to Dispose of Sur
plus Crops of u, S,
BY HARDEN COLFAX
Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright 1929

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Farmer
relief legislation will compete with
tax legislation for first place in the
forthcoming session of congress &C
cording to preliminary plans now
being formulated by some of the
chief bloc leaders. The idea prevails,
especially among the members from
the west and middle west, that the
first thing to do-ahead of tax reduc-
ton or anything else--is help put
the farmer on his feet.
Indications are that a strong eff
fort will be made to displace the tax
question, for a time, with farmer
aid legislation. The theory of advo-
Gates of farmer relief measures, is
that the shortest cut to greater pros
perity lies in making the farmer
prosperous, rather than in tax reduc.
ton. Then, they say, the country
will enjoy full prosperity and moi
until then.
Just now virtually every plan for
farmer relief centers around the idea
that the farmer should be enabled
to sell his surplus products abroad
Keep enough in this country to
meet our needs and sell the rest to
Europe" expresses the thought back
of all relief legislation thus far pro.
posed. Some of the proponents go so
far as to advocate a virtual gift of
our surplus products to Europe in
order to sustain prices at profitable
levels here.
Three Plans Offered
Within the present week, three
plans have come forward from re-
sponsible quarters:
The first was the Carl Veroomau
plan, which would create a perma.
nent export commission of govern.
ment officials to supervise the dump
ing of surplus crops. 1t does not in
VOlVe price fixing or government
buying of wheat or any other crop
but would make good all possible
losses by q tax levied directly on
all crops of which there is a surplus
to be exported.
The second was the plan of Sec
rotary Wallace announced by the
secretary in Chicago Wednesday.
Under it the government would 'be
required to buy the surplus of staple
crops, sell them abroad and collect
the losses from the farmers on the
next crop.
The third plan was brought to
Washington the day after Mr.. Wal
lace's speech by George c. Jewett.
general manager of the American
Wheat Growers association. The
main feature in which the Jewett
plan differs from the others is that
it would pay a subsidy to the own.

FARM RELIEF LEGISLATION
TO COMPETE WITHPROGRAM
OF CONGRESS ON TAX PLANS

ers of wheat exported, the money
for this purpose to come out Of a tax
assessed against all wheat. In short,
the object is to have the farmer sub
sidiZe himself and thus avoid indl-
Vidual loss on export wheat while
holding up the price Of the domestic
supply to the standard thought nee
esary.
Mr.. Verooman, an Illinois farmer,
who was assistant secretary Of ag<i'
culture during the greater part of
the Wilson administration, brought
a similar plan before congress at the
last session. 1t passed both houses
but died in conference in the final
days of the session. Mr.. VeroomaD
has since revised his plan to provide
for a permanent, rather than an
emergency. export commission ana
in other ways.
New Export Body
Under the revised Verooman plan
the export commission would con.
sist of three members, representing
the secretaries of the treasury, ag-
riculture and commerce. AN appro-
priation would be required to Greats
a revolving fund of 100000, 900 and
provision would be made for the sale
of debenture bonds up to S4O0,00O,
900, these funds to be always kept
intact, and no losses paid out OF
them.
The commission would determine
in advance of marketing time Wheth-
er there would be an eXportable sur
plus of any particular crop. With a
surplus in sight, tax would be as
sessed against the whole of that crop
put on the market, whether for eX-
port or domestic consumption. This
tax would be collected from the
farmer at the market where his
product is sold, the miller, elevator
man, ginner or other purchaser
Withholding the amount of the tax
from the purchase price and paying
it into the hands of the government.
The surplus of the crop would then
be sold abroad at whatever sacrifice
might be found necessary to dispose
of it and all losses anywhere along
the line would be paid out of the
fund created from the tax on the
crop. 1t is estimated that the tax
on wheat, for instance would usually
be less than one per cent Of the sale
price.
Secretary Wallace has not made
puUlIC tIl9 AulA uSldAlS VI Ills pam
In fact. he has said that the special
lists of his department are still at
work on them. He is committed,
however, to having the government
assume any losses that may be in.
Cured with the expectation of as
sessing them against the next years
crops, instead of providing from the
current crop in advance of export a
fund out of which to meet losses.
Under the Jewett plan, which has
been worked out only for wheat, a
tax would be assessed only against
wheat shipped from it's point of orr.
gin and the railroads would be made
the collecting agency. Mr.. Jewett
would levy a tax of cents busheI
which he believes would provide a
subsidy of thirty cents bushel fol
all wheat exported.

30 SPALD|NC BOYS
RAISE 80 BALES
FROM 80 ACRES

GRIFFIN, Ca, Nov. II. - The
Spalding County Boys Cotton club
sold at auction Friday their crop of
cotton, consisting Of thirty bales,
produced by thirty boys from thirty
acres of land. under the direction of
County Agent "Tap" Bennett. Sew
eral hundred people attended the
sale.
Mr.. Traer, of Traer Brothers, pub
Usher and editor of the farm paper
here, auctioned off the cotton, and,
while novice in the business, made
sood.
The lowest price brought for any
bale was so cents per pound and the
highest so cents per pound, the last
named bale being bought by a pool
Of business and professional men. The
whole amount obtained for the cot
ton will be pooled and divided equal
ly among the boys OF the club.
The banks of the city financed the
boys through the board Of trade, and
. County Agent Bennett directed the
farming operations. The purpose of
the plan was to demonstrate that
cotton could be produced under boil
weevil conditions which purpose has
been fully demonstrated, for if thir-
ty boys can raise thirty bales from
thirty acres, it can and ought to be
done by their fathers.
E. H. Griffin, cashier Of the say
ings bank and chairman of the board
of trade, took q very active inter-
est in the matter, and the boys call
him Daddy" Tap Bennett was all
smiles because of the boys success
under his direction and toutorage.
The warehouses of the city made no
charges against the cotton produced
by the boys. The Griffin Pharmacy
rendered the boys refreshing drinks
after the sale was over.

MERCER STUDENTS
GET G,278 CONVERTS
IN ONE SUMMER

MACON, Ga, Nov. 17.-As a result
of evangelistic work done by minis
terlal students of Mercer university
over the past summer, 5,474 addi-
tons to Baptist churches OF the
south and S04 additional conversions
were obtained, according to q final
report of the summer campaign by
DR.. c. L. McGinty, dean of the Mer-
Ger School of Theology.
Of the editions to the church,
1919 were by baptism, 1 Ala were
received into the churches by letter
and 81 were by restoration.
Comparison of this report for the
past summer with statistics given in
the Baptist Year Book showed that
only in twenty states in the United
States did all the Baptist churches,
missionaries and evangelists obtain
larger number of conversions than
the Mercer ministerial students dur
ing the summer alone. One per cent
Of all the baptisms performed by
Baptist ministers in the world for
the past year were performed by
Mercer students during last summer,
the Year Book showed. Pastors of
Ito churches in Georgia and neigh
boring states are Mercer students,
according to DR.. McGintys report.
Prominent in the report is the
record of student who during the
summer had 375 additions to his
churches, $50 of which were by bap.
tism. Another shows that in eleven
revival services he held during the
summer, there were 325 additions.
Other results accomplished by stu
dents, according to the statement
were: Churches organized. ?; Sun
day schools organized, 9; B. Y. P. U. s.,
organized, 81; Bible study courses
held, 35; volunteers for foreign work
solicited, "a; several churches built,
one costing $4,000 and another $4,000;

chased, 3.
