is not that we are opposed to any move
that has for an object improvement Of
living conditions. reduction OF cost OF

That he p~ica OF milk has been too h;gh

with a cheaper price Of milk there will
be greater demand for the article so that
it would be only up to the dairymen to
supply more milk and clear the same
profits at a reduced price as they gain at
a higher price. That more milk will be
consumed ii the price is low is shown in
the increased sales at the Cooperative
Dairy in these days. Although we d0n't
think there is any loss we wouldn't say
that the drop to 6 cents indicates that
profits are SO ample as to allow of il. this
is mainly force of competition and we
hold that it will not last when it has at

Iverson Logan, one of the best
known and most highly respected
negroes in Americas, died Wednes-
day at his home on East Jefferson
street, and funeral exercises of the
remains will be held Sunday from
A. M. h. church, it was announced
today. lverson Logan, who was for
years linemen tor the Western
Union Telegraph Company here, was
more recently employed by The
South Georgia Public Service Com
pany, and was held in high esteem
among many white people because
OF his unusual moral character. He
was active as a church worker
among negroes, being a trustee of
A. M. Z. church here and treasurer
of the board Of that congregation.
He is survived by his widow, a well
known maternity nurse here, and a

faster requires bigger locomotives,
better tracks and maintenance, and
better equipment throughout.
The railroads, Atlanta railway
executives stated today, spent ST.
500,00e, 900 in 1928 for improve
ments Of this kind They also built
new lines and extensions to open
new trade territories SO as to CO.
operate more closely with business.
Railroads as Atlanta executives
point out, have been able to make
additions and betterments to i'm
prove the service only as income
would warrant. 1t income were de-
creased through lowering the rates,
improvements would have to be
curtailed, it was stated here.
Merchandise is invested capital
and the longer it is intransit the
longer the capital is tied up. If the
prices fall en- route, some body
loses, and the loss is ultimately
passed to the consumer.
Better railroad service has re-
duced losses of this kind, in the
opinion of Atlanta railroad men.
Lower rates, it is claimed, would
tend to make it impossible for the
railroads to provide the service
which makes these savings possible.
