PITY FOR OUR
POOR INDUSTRIES.

Senator Goodin, Of Idaho, has
comeforward with a unique plan
for aiding the American farmer.
1t will be remembered that the
Senator, as Large wool grower,
was an ardent advocate Of large
tariff; and one of his favorita ar
guments was that it would aid the
farmer,
The Senator r)w recognizes
that the farmer was not aided;
thus he is sponsoring a scheme to
create a $3OO,O0O,OOO govern
ment corporation to stabilize
wheat prices around $1.75 bush
el, an increase of about S. cents
over what the farmer at present
is getting.
If the Senator has his way, the
farmers-some of them-will at
least be happy, But there will be
others who raise tobacco and cot
ton and potatoes and peanuts who
will be unhappy, and who also
will Immediately express an ardent
desire to be stabilized.
And after some other Senator
introduces a bill to stabilize all
Of them, we shall begin to hear
from the manufacturers. The
United States Steel Corporation,
for instance, had a deficit after
dividends for the last quarter of
1922. And steel is absolutely
necessary as railroads and wheat.
Really, what we ought to have
in the opinion of many is govern
ment control of industry.

BUREAU OF ENG2AViNG
SCANDAL A 1924 ISSUE.

One Of the important issues of
the next presidential campaign, it
is predicted, will be President
Harding's ruthless dismissal of
twenty-eight major and minor Of
ticials of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and his subsequent
refusal to reinstate them in their
positions when it was shown chat
they We're the victims Of ground
less suspicious and unjust treat
ment.
At the time of the removal of
these officials, in March 1922, no
one regarded it as likely to rise
to the dignity of a moral issue in
a national campaign. The reac-
ton, however, was quick and gen
eral, and has continued in a quiet
but significant way to influence
thousands of voters. The case of
these officials, most of them mem
bers of labor organizations, has
been made familiar to. union work
ers in all parts of the United
States.
The disappearance Of 100 un-
finished Federal farm loan bonds
of the denomination of $1,000
each from the Bureau Of Engrav-
ing and Printing has served TO
renew interest in the story Of the
men and women who were ousted
''for the good of the service" but
with the intimation, at first, that
they were guilty of some sort of
wrong-doing. The Republicans who
succeeded them are now under the
scrutiny Of the secret service of
the Treasury Department. While
there is no proof that the bonds
were stolen, and good reason to
believe that they have simply been
mislaid, there is a good deal of
curiosity as to the way in which
the responsible heads of the bu-
reau will be treated. They were
appointed on the representation
that they were to increase the eff
ticiency Of the Bureau.
This incident and the memorials
that will reach the next congress
in behalf of the men and women
who We're discharged under base
less imputations Of dishonesty will
renew, it is believed, the demand
for an investigation of their dis
missal by either the Senate or the
House of Representatives in
neither Of which the Republicans
will have a working majority.

NO AREA ON
EARTH IT'S EQUAL.

The South "has a greater COM
bination of natural advantages
that any other equal area on
earth" says Richard II Edmonds,
editor Of the Manufacturers Rec
ord, in a letter to Georgia in,
yesJment house, in answer to the
question Of why the south must
pay 1 per cent more interest than
the East.
Broadly speaking the south is
a virgin field" he says, but it's
development, by reason of the
civil war, has been retarded
while great industrial and ag-
ricultural progress has been made
in late years, we have not had
time in the South, out of this ac-
tivity, to accumulate surplus CAPT
tai such as is to be found in the
East. The development Of the
West was almost wholly on bor-
rowed capital, and for which
Western people paid a high rate Of
interest. Similar conditions exist
wherever the opportunities for in
vestment are greater than the sup
ply of home capital; and therefore
these sections have to pay a higher
rate Of interest than the older sec
tions even when the security is
absolutely unquestioned.
Whenever there is a new and
undeveloped region offering large
opportunities for construction and
development work the rate of
money is necessarily higher thaE
in the older regions where capt.
tai has accumulated through a
longer period of years. In Chs old
er regions capital is often aEable
to find profitable Investment at
home, whereas in the newer re-
gions such as the South may be
called, the supply of local capital
is wholly inadequate to the
amount needed for the adquaJe de-
yelopment of its vast resources.
In speaking of the South's con
struction program an Investment
house says:
Actual construction contracts
awarded in the l6 Southern states
in 1921 amounted to 0,0O0,-
600. Preliminary announcements
of building projects during the
year involved nea~iy 81, 1000, 00U,-
600. In many Of the cities half of
the total valuation Of permits IS
sued was for dwellings, apart
ment structures and hotais. In the
last quarter Of 1921, construction
contracts amounted to S110,17i.-
489, and projects initially an
nounced to $241773,77l. This in
dicates that 1922 will witness
more building avtiyity even than
1921, which surpassed all pre-
yious records in volume.
Authorities agree that the per
iod Of greater expansion thus be-
gun will continue for many years
probably for The next half-cen-
tury This means thai money in
large sums must be brought IN to
the South from al sections of the
United States for long time 10
come.
It's the capital that COMES in
from the OUTSIDE that brings
prosperity. The more money we
keep at home; the more we
can induce from the outside, at
reasonable rates Of INTEREST," The
greater the prosperity Of the state
and the south.
Construction and industry bring
labor. Labor must cat and wear
clothes and spend It's wage. The
diaries, the truck farms the poul-
try farms, the cattle ard hogs of
South West Georgia will find an
ever increasing demand near
home.
