Increase Your Ballot Batteries

Der, did win the first fight
on the rules. Another little
group of Senators are put
ting up valiant fight to
keep the Interstate Com
merce Committee out of the
hands of the railroads. These
fights are putting the Old
Guard members on record
and their votes will need a
lot of explaining in 1924.
The People of this country
spoke loud enough through
their ballot box sets in the
1922 elections. The Old
Guard can hear, but it does
not want to hear.
There is no use in trying
to charge the amplifiers or
getting a new brOadcasting
outfit. The time has come
to change some of the en-
plOyes in the receiving sta
tiOn on Capitol Hill in Wash
ingtOn.
These old foggies do not
like progress. They do not
want to listen in on a new
device such as labor, farmers
and other intelligent people
of the country have installed
the Old Guard wants to
stick to the old methods of
communication which are re-
layed through the interna-
tiOnal bankers of Wall
Street.
The people must extend
their political-actiOn radio,
increase the ballot batteries
and place some new opera
tors in Congress. This is the
only kind OF shock the Old
Guard members can feel. 1t
will have "kick" that will
Oust them out of their seats
in 1924!

DISTRIBUTION IS
COSTLY

Washington.-The cost of retail dis
tribution of farm products are "un-
reasonably high" says Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace in his annual re-
port.
The cabinet official declares that
these excessive charges increase
prices to the consumer and deprive
the farmer of increased consumption.

URGE TAX EXEMPTION

New York.-The exemption of taxes
on new buildings will encourage the
building of houses and thus relieve
the housing shortage, is the opinion
of the united neighboring houses,
comprising SO of the larger settlement

1t is declared that the minimum
standards of health and sanitation in
the maintenance of existing low
priced tenements have been shockingly
reduced to a standard wholly incon-
sistent with decency and public safety
Such standards require redefnition
and the imposition of sever penalties
for violation, it is stated.

ton Of Atlanta, together with several
representatives whof avored the
Dill IN some form or other, but in the
rush of the closing days of the Legis-
lature the bill was lost by a very
small majority.
State Road Bonds.
In February last year there was a
representative meeting held in At
lanta to discuss this important cues
tlon, at which your president had the
honor to preside. After a lengthy
discussion | was authorized to APP
point a committee to draft a new bill
TO be presented to a meeting to be
held IN Macon on May 18th. | ap-
pointed on that committee, Mr..
Edgar Watkins of Atlanta Chairman
and the following members: Mr.. J.
A. Sharp, Hiawassee, Ga, Mr.. E. NJ.
Thorpe, Townsend, Ga, Mr.. Chas.
Howard, Jr., Cusseta, Ga, Mr.. WE.
Watkins, jackson, Ga. Mr.. Wat
klns drafted a very lucid and COM
prehensive document with splendid
arguments supporting it, and at the
meeting in Macon, which unfortun-
ately for me, l was unable to attend,
1t was endorsed. Thsi bill will
.doubtlessly be presented here today
and commend it to your serious and
careful consideration. Georgia in or
der to keep abreast with other states
and in the interest of our own people
must either pass a Road Bond Issue
or find some other method equally
effective to carry on in a continuous,
progressive manner our road building
program; whether it is to be by bonds
or by other means it will be the
province Of the convention to rec
ommend. Having, as I know you
have, the interest of the state and
every county sincerely at heart, I
do not question the wisdom Of any
decision at which you may arrive.
Corporal Punishment.
By a ruling of Governor Hard
wick corporal punishment has been
abolished in the convict camps of
Georgia. 1t was something that in
the general scheme of human prog

ress had to come and when we adj
just ourselves to the new conditions,
l am sure that none of US would be
willing to go back to the old. Per-
sonally, l think it a fine thing, and
| am proud that my own county of
Chatham, through the initiative of
Judge Oliver 7. Bacon, the chairman
OF our board, did away with it nearly
two years ago, the first and only
county taking such action. 1t may be
that we do not get 100 per cent eff
fciency, but We never got that I'M
der the old method. By allowing GER
tain liberties and privileges and re-
stricting these privileges for infrac-
tons of rules we manage to get on
very well. Chatham, however, has
the advantage Of having as a warden
7. Newell West, who has the happy
faculty and ability and the knowing
how of handling convicts. He treats
them fairly and justly, stands for
no foolishness, and every convict in
his charge swears by Judge West.
Remuneration of Convicts.
At a convention of the Georgia
Federation Of Labor in Savannah
some weeks ago / brought up and
advocated the passage OF a law for
the remuneration of convict labor
and that those confined in peniten-
tiaries should share in the profits Of
articles they manufacture. As mat
ter of fact, l Go not think that con
vict labor should come in competition
with free labor wherever it is pos
sible to avoid it. Therefore, | was
glad to see the statement by Cover
nor Hardwick recently published on
this subject. Such law wisely
framed and fairly and justly admin
stored would, in my opinion, do more
to obviate the necessity of punish
ment Of convicts than anything l
can think Of.
State Highway Department.
There IS appearing from time to
time in the public prints unfavor-
able criticism of the State Highway
Department. These criticisms can be
best answered by Chairman Holder
of the State Highway Department,
who is present and will address you
during the convention. From my
own personal experience and associa-

derstand that they have an invest

for by salvage of the u. S. Army
Stores, which | am informed, has
not cost the people of Georgia a sin
gle dollar This will be gone into
more thoroughly by Mr.. w. R. Neel,
State Highway Engineer. It seems
to me that it would be very unfor-
tunate to have any change in the
personnel of the State Highway
Department at this time. 1t is a
big proposition and they have now
after hard work and concentrated
efforts gotten in a position where
they can function to the best possible
advantage. l have been told by men
who know that their machine shop at
East Point is second to none in equip
ment in the state, and it is at the
service of every county in the state
whenever called on. In this connec-
ton would say that the State High
way Department requested me some
months ago to appoint a committee
from the county commissioners of
Georgia to make a thorough and ex-
haustive investigation of the State
Highway Department and to make
a report of the result of that inves-
tigation at this meeting. / did not
make this appointment, because l
thought it should be authorized by
this convention, and would recon-
mend that you authorize the appoint
ment of such a committee. Their re-

work Of the Highway Department.

which Kidnapped five Mer Rouge
citizens last August.
The IDENTIFICATION was made
from the witness stand BY Fred

First to Be Identified
The finger OF suspicion was point
ed at Grey only a moment before,
when Rufus Eubanks, his nephew.
declared he had driven the church
leader on August "a to a spot 1900
yards away from the scene of the
holdup, letting him out in the road
It was Grey who yesterday refused

with his lawyers and over whom
the State and defense attorneys
clashed.
Grey was the first man to be
publicly named at the open hearing
as having participated in the kid
mapping.
Sure Of His Man.
In naming him, Brooks did not
hesitate but declared with convic-
tiion that he had recognized the
church leader as his own car was
halted by the masked band.
The Identification was not a sur.
prise. State attorneys. led Eubanks'
testimony up to the scene of the
hold-up.
Did you recognize any member
of that masked band?"
