ATLANTA, June 26.-strict
economy in state government and
an equitable system Of tavation pro
yiding for the fair distribution OF
the expenses Of the state, was en-
phasized by Governor Walker in
his message to a joint session of the
Georgia general assembly today.
The governor commended limit
ing the appropriations by tn leeis-
lature and urged still further prun-
ing Of expenses.
perhaps the greatest contribu-
ton to the spirit Of economy which
legislator can take" the governor
said, would be the passage of a bill
providing for biennial sessions Of
tle general assembly This would
effect a saving directly and indi-
rectly and Of hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars"
The executive declared that the
number of deficiency appropriations
had grown until the state is oper-
ating on a system of deficiency APP
precipitation. Expenditures must
be curbed," the governor declared.

TELL OF WORK HERE
Sumter County Spending IL
Cents Per Capita For Health
Work to Fine Advantage
COST TO JUNE ONLY $1,000
Saving Effected, Effective Of
Anti-MaIaris Work Given
BY Physicians AS $1,000 y

The state Of Georgia IS approprl-
ating only 8 cents per capita pr
year to its health department. Florl-
da and North Carolina are spending
many times this sum.
Sumter county is spending IL
cents per capita per year through
the county health board, or four
times as much as the state. In other
words, for general health work tie
county OF Sumter is taxing every
family of five only GO cents a year
the price of a shave and hair
cut.
From the report made by DR..
Payne, health officer, and DR.
Chambliss, chairman Of the health
board, to the Rotary club Wedncz-
day this II cent appropriation is BY
long odds the best investment The
county has ever made.
The cost TO the county of the
health department this year to Jure
is $1,000. The department has
actually rendered services to citizens
Of Sumter county that would have
cost them $4,000 had they been COM
PEELED to so to the physicians Of the
county. Therefore, according to Dr..
Chambliss figures the county has &C
tually saved for the people in the
county $4,000.
These figures do not take into
consideration the saving to the farnI-
ers Of thousands of dollars by rea-
son Of the reduction and control Of
malaria. We may gain fair IDEA
Of what this sum is by the following
figures given the club by pr. Payne.

QUESTION OF MALARIA
GREATLY EXAGGERATED

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 20
THE whole question of malaria il
the South is much exaggerated ard
people in the North have the wrong
impression when they think that all
Southerners have this disease, SAYS
DIR. X. F. Maxey, of the United
States Public Health Service, from
this city.
Malaria exists largely in certain
localized areas which constitute orIv
a small part of the land area and
the population of the South, and in
these areas the disease is on the de-
cline, he said.
DIR. Maxcy has conferred with au-
thorities in Tennessee on the control
of the disease.
In Alabama, according to DIR.
MaXcy, there are three areas where
malaria flourishes, the lower end of
the Tennessee Valley, along the Ala
bama and Tombigee rivers and the
blackbelt country.
Selma, Alabama, has Just appro-
priated $4,000 to fight malaria in
the eastern section of that city. he
asserted.

Whaf $ Going
On in World
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA SERVICE WRITER

The Democratic convention open
ed with the presidential nomination
in the same doubt it's been in all
along.
His supporters say positively VII
liam G. McAdoo will be nominated,
but really that's merely what they
hope.
Al Smiths supporters ere just as
confident he'll be nominated--so
they say-but that's only hope,
too.
About all it's safe to predict IS
that McAdoo will start with more
votes than any other candidate, but
pits doubtful if he'll ever get the nee
essary two-thirds.
Smith is apt to be the next strong
est candidate. If and when McA4oo
begins TO weaken, but it looks un-
likely he'll get two-thrds, either.
Underwood presumably win be
third on the list, but he appears T.
stand even less chance OF two thirds
than either McAdoo or Smith.

DARK HORSE

These three eliminated the guess
ing SINNERS down to choice
among the dark horses. Some guess
ers pick one favorite, some another.
Senator Samuel M. Ralston CT In
diana and John w. Davis of West
Virginia are the two commonest Sc
lections The victor might be either
one. 1t might just as easily be
neither,
Other fairly frequent guesses are
James M. Cox of Ohio, the candl-
date in 1920; ex-SecretaryS of War
Newton D. Baker, also of Ohio,
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia ;
ex-Secretary Of Agriculture and the
Treasury David David F. Houston Of
Missouri; ex-Secretary of Agricul-
ture Edwin 7. Meredith of Iowa, and
Gov. Albert G. Richie of Maryland.
And couple of dozen others are
suggested.
One guess is about as good as an
other.
Then again, the nominee may be
somebody whose name hasn't yet
been heard in connection with The
pending fight.

THE PROGRESSIVES
The Conference for Progressive
Politial Action, which meets in
Cleveland July A, is waiting on the
Democrats, too.
It's no secret that the Progress
sives don't like the Republican nom
nation or platform.
If they like the Democratic nom
inee and platform they'll indorse
them.
But there's mighty little pros
pect that they will.
If not, then they'll name their
own candidate-4Senator Robert M.
La Toilette of Wisconsin beyond a
doubt.
That is, unless, for some reason,
La Toilette should decline. It's most
unlikely he will but if he should,
the Progressive leader will be some
body he suggests.
In this connection the man most
spoken of is Senator Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana, Democrat
of the Progressive school.

JUST WAITING

For the moment the Republicans

the latter at the Cleveland conven

All this shows itself, most parti

and the presidents ultra regular

World Flight Costs Kept Within
$4,000 appropriated by Congress
Expense for Private Enterprise, Ho,Ueuer, Would
Haze Run Into Hundreds of Thousands-Oi
and Fuel Vas Large Item.

The other 10 motors need only little
overhauling to put them In perfect
condition.
The Navy cruisers, Coast Guard YES
sells and other ships which assisted
and accompanied the flyers on danger
Gus parts Of the journey, were in
actual service anyhow, and would
have had to be maintain at the same
expense had they been on duty else
where.
Assisting in making the flight a
success were several British, Danish
and Japanese ships. whose running
expense would have to be figured into
the cost had private enterprise at
tempted the flight. But neither this
expense, nor the money expended by
foreign governments for entertain
ment, will figure in the United States
Governments bill for the trip.
Fuel and Oil Cost $4,000.
On the other hand. there were many
uses for the $4,000 in hard cash
which Congress appropriated. Case
line was no small item. 1t has been
figured that travelling the circuit of
the globe required some 10000 gallons
for each motor. At an average cost
have cost some $4,000 for the three
planes which practically completed
the circle Adding in the cost of oil
and the cost of the gas consumed by
Maj. Martin in getting to Alaska, the
fuel and oil bill was about $4,000.
Other items which came out of the
appropriation included sums spent for
transportation of supplies, for prepa-
ration of landing places, for trans
portation and expenses OF the ad-
vance officers, Lieuts. Clayton Bissell,
Clarence Crumrine, Clifford Mutt and
r. Schultz; for transportation OF Gov
ernment officers who studied the pos
sibilities of the flight and work ed out
data to make 1t a success and for
hotel expenses of the flyers.
Whether or not the full $4,000 was
expended, Army officials feel, the
flight was dirt cheap" in view OF the
value of the contributions to the
science Of flying and the demonstra-
tions OF the fact that airplanes can
fly around the world.
