Insects Deserve Respect.
From the Atlanta Georgian.

You swat the fly and are! merciless with the
mosquito, but you respect many OF their in

wasps from the United States to exterminate
the boring worm and save the corn crop.
Only insect policemen can deal Individually
with insect criminals

bred in our government breeding places, de-

Ex-Governor Slaton, sensible and hard
headed, continues to riddle the argument of
the would-be tax thinkers. Gov. Slaton be-
lieves that we should stick to our present tax
laws He holds that with proper economy
there is no need in gathering more taxes
from the pockets of the taxpayers" says the
Sylvester Local The former governors views
are always sensible, sound and safe. He op-
poses the new tangled fads of government,
and believes in keeping alive those principles
md laws which have made Georgia a
great state. Government was established to
maintain peace and order and not to support
the people and an army of officials, as
SO many latter day political quacks would
have il do.

On this page is printed very interesting
letter from Mr.. Gordon Saussy, of Savannah,
relative to the proposed state port and the
great benefit that agricultural interests
would derive from the establishment of port
terminals and an efficient marketing system
for farm produce. Mr.. Saussy has given this
question much thought and believes it will
mean great deal to the welfare and progress
OF the people of Georgia, as well as prove to
be a remunerative investment. This will be
one of the big questions before the legislature,
and it should be given the fullest and most
impartial consideration.
