LISTEN TO THIS-OR YOU WILL
PAY TO LISTEN

If there is any one thing the American public
should watch closely at this time, it is the Dill
White radio bill in congress. Although fixed
up in conference before being passed by the
House, there are still jokers galore in it. 1t
has been held up by the Senate because of its
failure to formally vest ownership of the air
or ether above the United States in the Nation
al government This is we'll. 1t should be held
up forever unless that provision is specifically
included, and this too, despite all arguments
to the contrary.
Here is the reason The first step in a de-
lberate attempt to rob the American public
of the rights of the freedom of the air has
seemingly been made. Such legislation as al
lowed by the original bill would have made
possible corporation that would have taken
at least five hundred millions of dollars year
from the people. The original bill allowed,
or would have allowed the Radio Trust to i'm
pose a service charge upon every person who
has radio or who listens in. There would
have been device (already avaiable) which
eliminated all from listening in, unless the
charge was paid There are estimated to be
10000, 900 radio sets in the United States. At
charge of 81 weekly per set--the trust would
have founded a very profitable business-and
growing daily.
If you think the air above you is part yours
then write to your Congressman and Senator
and tell them so-today

WHY MORE COTTON?

The following from the Manufacturer and
Industrial News Review, published IN oah1or-
MIA is especially interesting:
"Some remarkable arguments are advanced
as to the reasons why the government should
spend S125 100000 building dam and power
nlant on the Colorado river at Boulder Can
yon.
The logical plea is that such dam is neces-
sary for flood control purposes to protect set
tiers and property along the river. The build
ing of dam for this purpose IS function OF
government, but it is stated that government
engineers have estimated that the floods 'of
the Colorado river could be controlled by a
dam at Topock, Arizona, which would cost
about $14,OOO,000.
When the government treasury is to be
tapped modest schemes grow to gigantic pro-
portions Instead of $14O0O,00O for flood
control the Colorado river project Immediately
grew to a $125 000, 900 undertaking which in
cluded the greatest dam in the world, canal
to prevent diversion of waters and great
hydroeectric power plant
One argument advanced for this enormous
expenditure is that it would furnish additional
water for the city of Los Angeles and addition
al power for Southern California, although
that section has more electric power developed
that it can use. Another argument is, that with
the Colorado river water for irrigation pur-
poses the Imperial Valley could be made the
greatest cotton producing section of the Unit
ed States.
Why should the government furnish water
to the city of Los Angeles? Why should it de-
velop electric power for Southern California?
And why should it spend millions to raise more
cotton, when our present cotton production is
so enormous that cotton prices are so low the
Southern planters have been almost bankrupt
ed Men who know the cotton situation in the
United States say that what the South needs
to bring about agricultural prosperity is not a
bigger cotton crop, but a reasonable price for
a moderate crop What would be accomplish
ed by the governments spending $125, ,00O, 900
of the peoples money to add million bales of
cotton to the overproducton of this crop which
we already have in the South?
The next cry would be to furnish money to
finance cotton planters who were unable to
move their crops.
If the Boulder Dam proposition with all it's
side issues proposed, developed into big farce
as Muscle Shoals and there is no reason to be-
lieve that it would not, with all the og-rolling
and wre-puling which would result from a
half dozen states being Interested rs years
would not see the project Finished and S125,-
600 900 would be only the first installment
collected from the taxpayers.

Sun-Kissed Food

The California concerns who adver-
tise their sun-kist products are scien-
tifically sound in their boosting. That
vital food element now called Vitamin
used to be supplied to the rickety
baby or the anaemic adult only
through cod liver oil, the cod fish
someway retaining in its body the
sun rays needed to supply a particu-
lar element so much needed by GER
tain subnormal conditions of the hu-
man. Science has now devised
through the ultra violet ray treat
ment of different foods that will con-
vey the same health giving properties
as would the medicine.
One man in particular who has
worked out the method of impregnat-
ing common foods with the essential
elements is DR.. Henry Steenbock of
the University of Wisconsin. He hes
itated to turn his discoveries over to
the world without safeguarding them
from the selfish use of those who
would be only financially interested
so the process he employed has been
patented in the name of the univer-
sity and the state with the object of
making it serve the benefit of hu-
manity DR.. Steenbock refused Of
fers for rights that would have made
him wealthy but he said he would
not pervert his life's great work for
gain.

COOLIDGE WILL RUN If ALIVE
YOU CAN BET

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, head Of Co.
lumbia University is an able man, very good
speaker and his views always are interesting
but-as a political prophet he is mot so good
the country at large now seems agreed.
DR.. Buffers Riverside speech wherein he
positively stated that President Coolidge would
not be a candidate for another term; that only
a wet can be elected; and that the third
term" factor was against the President brought
forth adverse opinions from all over the nation
in the press and news comment, also open ridi-
cule from Republican leaders, particularly in
regard to the third term issue.
Senator Borah's quick acceptance of the
Butler challenge on the necessity of the Repub-
lican party facing the guns prohibition was
only sidelight. In an open letter to Mr.. But
Ter, he said: Il agree with you perfectly that
we should not dodge this issue. | shall con-
tribute in every way | can to force the issue
to final conclusion in the next convention"
If Borah does this we'll and good We shall
then have decisive wet and dry battles in both
the Democratic and Republican conventions
and maybe get somewhere in knowing the real
desires of the people.
However, President Coolidge has refused
to comment on the Butler speech. There is no
good reason why he should. A year from
now, or even later, if conditions in the country
and in the party are not exactly to his liking
he may himself decide not to let his name go
before the convention. But no one but the
President himself can decide that question:
now or then. If alive and he decides to be re-
nominated-then he will be renOminated and
no one can defeat him for the nomination
and he will run painSt Smith-Or Nc AdOO-Or
how about Jim Reed of Missouri?

DEATHS AND INJURIES DUE T(
TRESPASSING INCREASE

Deaths and injuries of persons tres
passing on the tracks and trains of
the Southern Railway system showed
an increase last year, 1876 trespassers
having been killed and 154 injured in
1926 as against 1913 killed and Isl
injured in 1925, according to figures
just made public by the Southern
safety department.
Of those who took the risk of using
the Southern's tracks as public high
ways, 100 were killed and 6S IN
iured while 35 were killed and S6 IN
iured while trespassing on trains.
Repeated warnings of the deadly
peril of trespassing on railway prop
erty have been given out but enough
persons continue the dangerous prac-
tice to result in about the same num-
ber of deaths and injuries every year
For the preceding three years the
casualties to trespassers on the South
ern were as follows: 1922, 129 killed
and III injured; 1928, 154 killed and
17S injured; 1924, 100 killed and
174 injured.
Records kept by the Southern show
that large majority of the tres
passers killed and injured were use
full citizens or school children, using
the tracks as walkways, and that a
large number were boys who fell un-
der the wheels as the result of chop
ping" trains.

FARMERS MAY GET EXEMPTION

From an unlocked for source, comes the
first note to give the farmers of Georgia equai
treatment with industries of the state The
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce goes on record
as favoring the exemption from taxation OF
farm properties, operated by the owner from
taxes not to exceed $4,000, including land and
equipment We see no reason why this piece
of legislation should not pass this summer with
a majority of the members of the House and
Senate themselves being actively engaged in
farming We agree with its promoters that
the enactment of this tax exemption clause to
our constitution would be an attraction to new
settlers. men for whom Georgia offers more
natural advantages than most of the southern
states and with this added inducement we
should have an influx of desirable settlers
from every section of the country.

writer is the Committee on World

suance of this object Doll Festival

under this or another committee with
similar aims, correspondence between
school children of the various coun-
tries is being fostered and carried on
to quite an extent. This is commen-
dable in many ways, eliminating fool
ish prejudices against what is new or
different in customs, promoting toll
erance for other peoples viewpoint,
and arousing interest in other ma
tions with a sense of brotherhood,
tending to that ultimate world peace
that is so far away in the future.

be taught from the standpoint of good
literature, and will include something
of wit and humor His poems have
been used in the Atlanta schools to
some extent for number of years,
an executive bulletin having been is
sued on the subject as early as 1922.
The use of Mr. Stanton's poems as
regular requirement will be inaugur-
ated with appropriate exercises on
February %, the anniversary of the
birth of Mr.. Stanton"
A statement was recently made by
the family of the late Georgia poet
laureate that the works and poems
of Mr.. Stanton, Gust From Georgia,
many of which have never before
been published-are now being COM
piled in book form and are in the
hands of the printers. None of Mr..
Stanton's productions have been pub
lished in book form since 1904, it was

Americans Talk Most

If the use of the telephone is the
gauge then Americans who have fif-
teen telephones to every hundred per-
sons talk great deal more than the
ether people of the world. In Great
Britain they have one-fifth as many
telephones and in Germany one
fourth as many for each hundred
persons. The transmitting line of
the new transatlantic telephone can
be expected to file more calls than
will the receiving line.

A substance has been found that
freezes but does not melt but under
heat evaporates into gas. 1t has been
found a practical refrigerant for
foods in long distance transportation
and is recommended by the American
Chemical society as being not only
easily portable but really cheaper
than water ice. The substance is
solidified carbon dioxide and is at
present quite a curiosity of the lab
