WHO FIXES THE PRICE OF
GASOLINE?

The state of Missouri has been
making little investigation into
a matter that interests every user
of gasoline-that of gasoline
prices. During the hearing the
other day testimony was given
that gasoline filling stations of
numerous oil companies in Mis-
souri, call the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana each morn.
ing to determine the price at
which gasoline is to be sold that
day.
The next question, of course,
is, who fixes the prices of gaso.
line? The testimony indicates
that the Standard Oil Company Of
Indiana fixes the price at which
It is sold in Missouri, but what
Georgians would like to know it.
Who fixes the price in Georgia?
And not only who, but Why?
Other states might follow the
example of Missouri in making
a similar investigation, which
might throw light on the subject
that would be of value to gaso-
line conspmers. re piluabus 8 En-

Child Marriages

Seventeen States now have
laws against the marriage of
girls under g; nine more have
an age limit of IS; eight States
and the District of Columbia
draw the line at 4 years, while
three States, Kentucky, Virginia
and Louisiana, have a minimum
age law at 2 years, says the
Griffin News.
Generally the minimum age
for males is two years higher.
New York is one of the remain
ing eleven States which have
no statutes as to the age when
a girl may legally marry.
The other States are Colo
RADIO, Florida, Idaho, Maine,
Maryland, Mississippi, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
and Tennessee.
A New York State commission
has been investigating conditions
and reports that outside of New
York City l57 children WE'RE
married under the age of 10
years in 1919; 3 of them at l3
years; 26 at IA years and 1871
at IS years. One record was
found of license issued for an
ll-year-old girl. New York
school officials report that near
ly IS children under 10 years
are exempt from school attend
ance because they have mar
ried.
Findings of the United States
census for 1920 show that
throughout the country there
were 1854 girls married under
IS years of age. In addition
to this number 81 girls under
this age were already divorced
and 269 were. widows.
Of the girls who had reached
;, census reports show that o.
834 were married and that 400
were widows or divorces. 1t
has been urged against restric-
ton that when parents give con
sent to the marriage of their
child the State should not inter
fere.
But it is we'll known that
many parents do not know what
the best interests of their chill
dren demand in matter of this
kind and are often as blind to
the dangers of child marriage as
they to the injury of child labor

The Bad Check Law


One of the most exasperating
things the average merchant has
to deal with is bad check" -
checks given for purchases or
debt when there is not in the
bank sufficient funds to cover
the face Of the check.
This year the practice has
been decidedly worse than usual,
local merchants have said. How
ever, less of this sort of thing
may be expected in the future.
One of the measures enacted
by the last session of the Legis-
lature was that one which re-
moves the allowance of 80 days
to the drawer OF bad check in
which to make good the pay
ment. This amendment to the
bad check law was introduced
by Senator Pace of this district.
Under the amendment to the
law, parties giving checks when
there is not sufficient funds in
the banks to make good the
checks, are guilty of a INSIDE
noeanor and. subject To immedi-
ate prosecution.
The passage of this amendment
should cause many who have
heretofore been careless in such
matters, to exercise more dill
gence.
1t is a good law and should
be enforced. That occasional err
rors will occur, that unintention-
ally bad check is given in
the best of faith, cannot be de-
MED, but many intentional
frauds are performed through
the very convenient-and until
recently comparatively safe -
method of bad checks.
The effectiveness of the law
and the measure of protection
that it will give merchant and
bank depends on the holder of
bad checks. A few prosecutions
in every community will greatly
reduce this evil.

Draft Dollars AS Well
AS Men

In the next war, draft dollars
and property as we'll as soldiers,
urges Bernard M. Baruch, for
mer chairman of the War Indus
tries Board.
1t is not new idea. Many
Others are advocating it. Legis-
lstion along this line recently
was proposed in Congress.
If dollars were drafted for the
next war, the same as men for
the army, there wouldnt be any
@Text war.
A war without someone clean
ing up big profits is beyond the
powers of imagination. No
chance Of robbing the govern
ment on war contracts, or prot
iteering on the public. What
would be the use of having such
a war?
Our national war debt is big
enough, but war-inflated prices
have cost the public even more.
There was the big epidemic of
profiteering. you recall. Prices
are down quite bit now $50 are
incomes), but the disruption of
our price level will cling for at
least 30 years.
Baruch's plan for drafting
wealth and property includes
government fixing of all prices.
He says:
Prices of materials, commodi-
ties and, in fact, all things would
be declared fixed as of such and
such a date, and it would be il
legal either to buy or sell at a
different price.
''Fhe excess proportion, if any,
of the profits in industry and in
ternal revenue would go to the
prosecution Of the war.
If such an organization,
which we We're approaching at
the end of the war, had been
put into effect at the beginning
the cost of the war in my opin-
ion would have been not more
than one-half of what it was, and
there would not have been
charges of profiteering and eco
nomic chaos after the war"
All very true. The trouble
is that the whole idea is too sem
sible to be put into effect.

McADoo TO HELP.

Those who entertained the
idea that William G. McAdoo was
going to sulk in his tent and not
give active support to the Demo-
cratic national ticket will have
to take another think. He is not
going to do anything of the kind.
To the contrary, he is going to
get out and do some active work
for Davis and Bryan.
There has been a good deal of
speculation concerning the atti-
tude which Mr.. McAdoo would
take in the campaign, some de-
claring that he would jump into
the thick of it and give his best
efforts for party success, and
others contending that he would
remain in Europe for an extend
ed tour and would take no ac-
tive part in the election.
We have never been one of
the latter class. We have felt
that at the proper time Mr.. Nc
Adoo would come forward and
give his unqualified and enthusi-
astic Supports TO The tlcket. And

mrs. Thomas H. Smith, Mrs. o. c.

Miss Evelyn Grew were the prize
winners in the interesting voting
contest in the Merchants Commer
cial Contest which has been waged
in Americas during the past ten

contestants. The official result was
announced last night at the opera
house after a committee of three
disinterested citizens, Messrs. S. A.
Daniels, E. l.. Carswell, and Edward
N. Argo, had carefully canvassed
The count Of tickets previously filed.
A letter received by H. P. Everett
from 4. w. McGaw, superintendent
states that the S. A. L. have with
drawn our petition from The railroad
commission to discontinue trains Is
and IA between Helena and Rich
land. In view Of the opposition de-
veloped at the hearing, we do not
wish to withdraw these trains eX-
.cept upon unanimous consent of the
public, through this action on our
part will result in loss OF $6,O0000
per annum.

MELON LOosES

That the lack of proper distri-
button of products is almost en-
tirely responsible for the great
loss of watermelon and peach
growers every year has again
been all to strongly demonstrated
this year, With a tremendous
crop of melons and with hun
dreds of cars being shipped daily
indiseriminately to the cities,
with no knowledge of how many
cars are there already, growers
will never receive adequate re-
turns for their labor. 1t is a great
pity that such conditions exist.
but they will so long as melons
are shipped on consignment and
the markets flooded. 1t is high
time that intelligent methods be
adopted and a thorough organiza-
ton of all growers be effected.
Until this is done no relief can be
reasonably expected. We will
just go on in the old way, toiling
through the months only to give
away our products, in many in
stances the fault hes with the
growers themselves. To glut the
market will only result in dis
aster to the growers every time.
Perishable stuff shipped on con-
signment is about the poorest
way to do business that we know
Of. If9the melon and peach in
dustries are ever to be worth any
thing to Georgia there must be
