BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

for I am the Lord your God.” Lev.

Bill Biffem asks Mr. Coolidge Vare

able to ‘fimwer that,

‘What w"s want to know now is who
propone&that this be the last grand
reunion of veterans of the Southern
Conféderacy?

We gather from the hearings on
in Albany before the highway hoard
that there are weveral other through
paved routes in Georgia under way.
Let them éommre of them. That’s
one tLing about which nobody can
excite our jealonsy, but while they
are getting these through paveq high
ways, we want to keep up the lick on
the National, The Atlanta-Macon-Vi
enna-CordeleTifton-Valdosta route to
the Florida line. We are glad that
real progress can be reported.
A PLASTER THAT HOLDS
Whether or not the plaster in a
home proves permanent depends
largely on the kind of lath to which
it is applied. Unldss the proper com
bination of lath and plaster is used,
the wall-surface will not only crack
but “will fall, ruining the appearance
of the room, marring furniture, ne
('ensflatlng costly and «dirty repairs,
and -posgibly injuring members of the
hougehold. Cracked or broken plas
ter ‘also lowers the market-value of
a héuse.
So important is the lathing and
plastering of a house that Uncle Sam
hotcinterested himself in the problem.
Tests have been conducted at the Bu
reau of Standards of the United
States Department of Commerce to
tind out how tightly plaster adheres
to various types of lath. A machine
was employed, which showed the num
ber 'or pounds of force per square inch
novd:ed to pull plaster from the var
ious kinds of lath, -
Results have just been announced
by the Bureau of Standards. The
plaster geparated from sheet metal
lath: at a force pf 1.6 pounds per
square inch; from wood lath, at 2.1
pmmds; from both fibre board and
sheet metal strips on bituminous com
position, at 2.3 pounds; from woven
wire lath, at 2.4 pounds. It adhered
to expanded metal lath until a force of
4.3 fimmds was applied; on wood lath
wilh"@‘?(mumsili(m backing, up to 4.8
pmnu!]g; and on plaster board up to
a phmm- of 6 pounds per square
ineh)
'll‘hls. means according to the Bu
ronui;fii Standards report, that plaster
:up)xl!bd to plaster board has a *“fac
tor Ql'l safety,” as engineers call it,
of 14"4.,' The factor of safety with ex
panded metal lath is 103, and with
«\\oom‘at,h on composition backing,
115, [Ordinary gypsum plaster, ap
plied’ aecording to standard practice,
was w'btd in all these tests.
Plagter board, which showeq the
greaci_fi strength in combination with
1)13:463}33 is commonly called “rock
lath,"” ;lipcauu it consists of large unlls‘
of thgimineral, gypsum, encases in a
heavy ~waterproof binder. T‘l "““J
boards are nailed directly to the studs
in frxflif@mtruction. or to furring‘
strips in/other types of buildings, are,
cut to fit odd-shaped spaccl:, and are
covered with three coats of plaster.
+ Whereas, with other types of lath,
part of the plaster is forced through
to form a “key” or clinch, none of
the plaster is lost from this cause
with the “rock lath.” ‘Becauge the
mineral of which it is made is incom
bustible, it actis as a fire-stop in the
walls; and it helps keep the home
warm in winter and cool in the sum
mer, because gypsum is one of the
best natural insulators known.
BORAH IN BAD TASTE
Senator Borah does a service
by pointing out citizens of the
United States are now paying a
total of $7,000,000,000 a year in
federal state and municipal tax
es—three time as much as they
did ten years ago. Sooner or later
this load must be re'uced. What
we need is a thorough-going re
vision of our entire scheme of tax
ation—hy experts, not by politic
ians—Tuscalocsa News,
But there iy another story to relate
in connection—one might never ex
pect Mr. Borah to tell that story. The
taxes, when they are devoted to sound
business and the maintenance of eco-|
nomic goevrnment, amount to returns
in the form of public improvements
that are many times badly needed.
We venture to say that if we knew
all about where the increases in tax
es have gome, we could tell great
things about development, public im
provement, schools, paving, Dbetter
paid teachers, officials, better health,
fire precautions, water, lights, and
living comforts for the public.
But Mr. Borah is in bad taste when
he piles up figures on the increase
of the tax burden to dash sand in the
eye of the public and keep the pub
lic from seeing something of the size
of the tariff burden. When he of
fered such figures on tax increases,
he knew at that very moment that
the party in power, the party of which
he bhoasts himself as a great and im
portant leader, has imposed in the
Fordney-McCumber Tariff law a bur
den of extra co:ts on the necessities
of life amounting to more than seven
billion dollars a year.
He doesn't give us a word about
that, He doesn’'t give us @ word
about how all this money goes into
the pockets of the great trusts which
now handle every commodity from
pread to straw hats. Tle is silent,
wonderfully silent, on the legislation
in recent years which has made it
postiible for gpecial interests to lay
millions and millions upon the Ameri
can public as an increased cost of
living in the form of a tariff which
goes directly into the treasuries of
each of the giant trusts that new conr
trol Coolidge, Borah, and all the other
republican leaders in Washington.
Here in this country the tariff on
gugar is $2.70 per hundred pounds.
That is a cost greater than the raw
sugar s bringing on the docks in Cu
ba. There the producer is poor and
waiting to sell. Here in America, the
Fordney-McCumber tariff law puts
the sugar into the hands of the great
sugar trust and Borah's bosses are
enabled to filch out of the living ex
penges of every average American
family of five a total of eleven dollars
a year in a levy that has no vxcusv‘
other than that the trust must be
taken care of-— American sugar pro
ducers must be protected against Cu
ba and the outside world. And the
American sugar producers, bloated
with their millions, go on piling up
the riches to be used in future cam
paigns for continued control of the
government in this country-—contin
wed adding of tariff burdens upon
the ponplv———cominuod legislation in
favor of the rich and all the time be
coming greater and greater burdens
upon the poor and the consuming
public.
That same tragic story can be re
lated about every commodity in this
country—not ona escapes such special
legislation in the interest of the trust
which controls both output and price.
The public pays what the trust im
poses, and the l“nrdn(\y-.\lc(?umborl
traiff is the legislative instru‘mem\
lmsed by the trust to safeguard itself
in whatever price it wishes to impose,
Coolidge and Borah and their repub
lican buddies in Washington simply
perform at tbe will and the wish of
the trust. The trust milks the public
in its own way without let or hind
rance.
We have seem on other occasions
where Mr, Borah sougnt to tease the
American public about the taxes they
pay. They do pay a great deal, bhut
the tax burden isn’t always clags leg
islation. It isn't a means of reaching
into the pocket of the individual for
money to add to the already mounting
piles of the rich and powerful trusts
in absolute control of American bus
iness, Taxes are used to maintain
goverrment and add public improve
ments, The public does occasionally
get something back out of the taxes
paid ipto the public treziury.
Mr. Borah is an active tool of the
powerful rich., He sings out about
the tax burden because in taxes the
rich trusts have to help support gov
ernment and public improvements,
They dodge and squirm and complain
~ang] hire experts to get up all these
figureg about increasing tax burdens
hecause they want to get from un
der, The big interests are big tax
dodgers. The cry against taxes is
general,
Why—why doesn’t the public com
plain about the tariff burdens? lls it
hecause the public doesn’t under
stand? lls there anybody who fails to
gee Mr, Borah's game? Why should
he worry ahout taxes, which go to
maintain government and public im
provements, when the trusts, which
do his thinking for him, get a much
‘lnrgm' amount for themselves out of
lthe pockets of the public through the
tariff avd appropriate it all to their
own selfish cnds?
It isn’'t the tax burden—dear read-i
er, the tariff burden is the thing—the
Fordney-McCumber tariff. That has
more to do with the mounting cost
of living than all else combined.
WHAT A LIFE THIS!
What a life has a president of
a university or college! He has
to please the community, the fac
ulty, the student body, the public,
his board of education, his own
conscience and the various types
of conservatives and radicals who
want to carry their torches of
truth ang error to his students.—
Dawson News.
‘We have never experienced zmy' of
the work of thig type of missionary,
but we know there is truth in every
word of this little paragraph. If we
had decided to seek a iife of complete
sacrifice of all individual happiness
and self for the good of others, we
iknow of no more elfective way to
reach that than to become a school
iluachez', a preacher, or a colleg? pres
ident.
‘We can imagine no person on earth
who carries a greater burden upon
his shoulders than the csllege prosi
dent of this hour in the south. It isn't
any worse in Georgia than in other
states, we may well preswme, but it
is a task of tremendeus improt—and
there isn't any reward here that can
be counted in dollars or life comforts.

Seldom if ever has the South be -

more serious feed shortage than this

consider how we can grow feed more
cheaply in 1926-—and perhaps, if
necessity drives us to better feed

be followed in future years also. :

land in better shape to produce
more hay or more cotton or umore
corn the following year,
There is no better way to avoid
. At present prices of hay and cot
grow feed on a part of our cotton
land. And right now while we are
planning our 1926 cotton crop, let's
remember that there are a few mil
lion other cotton growers in the
south who gamkble with cotton as we
do and are now planning an acreage
that may bring the price of this
year's down to 15 cents a pound,
If we produce $lOO or $5OO worth
of hay and by doing this avoid hav
ing to pay out $lOO or $5OO of our
cotton money for hay, then we not
only have our hay needs suppliced
but have the clear profit cotton
money also and made this clear prof
it because we did not have to buy
hay.
