PECAN GROWERS WANT
STATE APPROPRIATION

ALBANY, June 28.-Prepara-
ton Of an important bill in which
the pecan growers Of the state are
much interested has prevented Rep
resentative Walter H. Burt, of
Dougherty, from attending the
opening session Of the legislature
Of Georgia, but he stated yesterday
that he would leave Sunday for
the capital to begin his duties in
the house Monday.
The bill which Mr.. Burt will in
troduce for the pecan interests pro-
vides for an appropriation of $751;
600 each in the years 1924, 1925,
andI956 70 the State Board Of
Entomology for experimental work
in the treatment and eradication
Of diseases and pests which attack
pecan trees and pecan nuts, and for
other horticultural and agricultural
purposes,

War is a relic Of barbarism and

In the event war in which the
manpower of the nation is drafted

The Democratic party condemns
the vacillating policy of the Repub-

to develop an American flagship

Education
We believe with Thomas Jeffer-

public that ignorance is the enemy
of freedom and that each state, be-
ing responsible for the intellectual
and moral qualifications of its citi-
zens and for the expenditure of
moneys collected by taxation for
the support of its schools, shall use
its sovereign right in all matters
pertaining to education.
Civil Service
We denounce the action of the
Republican administration in its
violations Of the principles of civil
service by its partisan removals
and manipulations of the eligible
lists in the postoffice department
and other governmental depart

Service Commission so that the

The sponsors for the Esch-Cum-
Minis transportation act of 1920 al
the time of its presentation to con.
gress, stated that had for its prr-
pose the reduction of the cost of
transportation, the Improvement of
service the lettering of labor CON
dltlons, the promotion of peaceful
cooperation between employer and
elnploye and, at the same time. the
assurance of fair and just re-
turn to the railroads upon their in
vestment.
We are in accord with these all
nounced purposes, but dontend that
the act has failed to accomplish
them. 1t has failed to reduce the
cost of transportation.
Railroad freight rates should be
so readjusted as to give the bulky,
basic, low-priced raw commodities
such as agricultural products, coal
and ores the lowest rates, placing
the higher rates upon more valuable
and less bulky manufactured prod
ucts.

During the four years of Republ

ously to take against against it all
legitimate and proper measures for

Enforcement of Prohibition Law
The republican administration
has failed to enforce the prohibition
law; is guilty of trafficking liquor
permits, and has become the protec-
tor of this law.
The democratic party pledges it
self to respect and enforce the con-
stitution and all laws.
The Rights of The States.
We demand that the states of the

Muscle Shoals and Fertilizers
We reaffirm and pledge the fuf

other products needed for tt,

ducts needed for munitions ~

We hold that the production of
cheaper and higher-grade fertiliz-
ers is essential to agricultural pros
perity. We demand prompt action
by congress for operation of the
Muscle Shoals plants to maximum
capacity in the production, distribu-
ton and sale of commercial fertiliz-
ers to the farmers of the country
and we oppose any legislation that
limits the production of fertilizers
at Muscle Shoals by limiting the
amount of power to be used in their
manufacture.
Republican Contraction of Credit
We denounce the recent cruel
and unjust contraction of legiti-
mate and necessary credit and cur
rency, which was directly due to
the so-called deflation policy of the
Republican party as declared in its
national platform of June, 1920,
and in the speech of acceptance of
its candidate for the presidency.
Reclamation
The Democratic party was fore
most in urging reclamation for the
arid and semi-arid lands of the
west. These lands are located in
the public land states, and there
fore, it is the duty of the govern
ment to utilize their resources by
reclamation.
Postal Employees
We declare in favor of adequate
salaries to provide decent living
conditions for postal employees.
Popular Elections
We pledge the Democratic party
10 a policy which will prevent
members of either house who fail
of reelection from participating in
the subsequent sessions of congress.

probation principle to the courts
of the United States.
