BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
GOD IS LOVE--“If thou turn to
the Lord thy God, and shalt be obe
dient unto his voice, He will not for
sake thee, neither destroy thee!
Deut. 4:30, 3!,
' We got you this time-—jor whom
are you going 1o vote for commission
er of ariculture’
' The new bishop, Dr. W. B. Beau
champ and family were guests of
friends in Cordele last night and this
morning. The presiding elders of the
aistrict also were here. All the visit
ors found a cordial reception and peo
ple who enjoyed making their visit
pleasing and happy.
Bobby Jones went out at the end
of the British open golf tournament
a contender in an all-American finish.
There was not a Britisher nearer than
third place and an American was tied
with him there. That's taking the
Britisher's game to his own door and
‘thére beatnig him in it.

SHe ln“tho cause of the cancella-
Imfit»fl:e poultry car schedule, This
c:‘{‘( ;hf“ provided quite a poultry
market in Cordele and along the Sea

the futurg. we have no doubt, 'This

gseason. It will not be run.
Disabled veterans want a great
standing army in this country. A
great standing army in this great
country would in time mean war. The
disabled veterans are the best living
examples of the ravages of war. We
gaw them in their Atlanta parade the
other dav—ang then wondered why
they still want more war, This
('o||nlr,\w“ dispensed with Germany in
the \\‘pkjlgl_ war three thousand miles
beyond our shores and did it quickly
with armies picked from men who
pursue vocations ol peace. The «lis-‘
abled veteraws arve ours to honor ;de
reverd, but they are wrong about lh('I
great standing army in this muulr,\'r——fli
as far off the principles of peace as
men conldd get. ‘
England hanged a woman for mur
der—a mother of three small children,
She went protesting her innocence,
Ameri¢ans have drawn the line. No
woman can commit a crime for which
death should be visited upon her as
- 'an extreme penalty. ‘To be sure, the
laws know no sex line. but the un
written law has stopped Americans
“from hanging women. Not a great
many capital crimes are chared to
either men or women in England.
The reason for this is the age-old
unwavering visitation of death upon
the murderer. In America too many
" —far too many--capital crimes are
committed. It is a question always
whether we a're too chicken-hearted,
Bdshetimes we think a hardened na
tional soul might make us lose vastly
Roihenaris v v o I
IT WAS NOT RELIEF
Candidly, we think our Georgia
senators and southern members of
the upper house of congress were
vight in turning down the McNary.
Haugen farm relief, 1t wasn't relief,
Senator George in plain language
pointed out the inequalities which it
would carry to cotton growers, Sen
ator Harris said every time a fm'mer‘
brought a hog to town to sell, he
would have to pay a tax on that sale,
The truth is, those in charge of the
government are the manufacturers,
the great trusts and business com
bines-—all headed by the international
bunkers with Mr. Andy Mellon bosg
of the whole thing. Big businesg has
its tariff rake-off on every sale of
a commodity that goes to the Amep
ican consumer. The American rail
vays have their guarantee of earnings
assured in legislation which ‘makes
them the burden of the people if thnyl
I
do not éarn their guaranteed amount,
But the farmer—if he has anything
guaramieed-—must pay out of his own
’po(-kel a sum of money on every sale
he makes sufficient to guarantee u
common profit on the year's lahurs.‘
In other words, he must pile up the
simking fundi If the cotton farmer
makgs a living thig yeer and the corn
grower fails, the cotton grower must
be taxed to pull the corn grower out
of the hole. If the corn grower makes
good this year and the cotton grow
er goes (lownl, he is supposed in this
proposed legislation to get his out
of the pocket of the corn grower,
The farmer must take care of the
farmer.
That wonld bhe all right if the rail
roads and big trusts were made to
take care of themselves in the same
manner. But the publie is robbed for
them. A tariff is levied for {their
benefit. Every time one buys a bag
ol sugar he contributes two dollars
and seventy cents to the treasury of
the sugar combine in America—does
it on the excuse that infant American
industry must be taken care of. The
sugar combine in America ig the larg
est infant we know about. It needs
no more public aid, It has been
drinking in and using as a republican
slush mud what it gets now to win
the next national election,
The farmer, under legislation which
was defeated in the senate, must pro
vide his own equilization fund if he
has anything with which to take care
of those who have fafled to show a
profit on their crops. It isn’t fair
to put that added tax on him, for hei
is already bearing the burden imposed
in the tariff for the rich and ;mwm'-,
ful who are now in control of the
government,
The farmers of the west and the
south elested Woodrow Wilson. They
can elect any president they wish
The republican party has nothing to
‘on'vr the farcing classes. Its whole
party organization is founded on a
high taritf syster. That means added
burdens upon the farmer. That party
enriches its banking and manufactur
inp elements at the expense of the
farming elements. The farmers might
prevent that any day they desired,
but they will have to abandon any
thing called republican—that party
has nothing to offer in the form of
farm rvelief. 1t cannot rob the farm
er in high tariffs and at the same
time be willing to give it back in
the torm of special legislation which
will put the tarmer on an equal foot
ing with the banker and the manu
facturer. The banker and manufac
turer are the republican party. How
can they offer farm relief when their
chief aim is to d¢raw their revenues
by excessive levies in tariffs against
the farming element?
Every day of this weather is prec
ious in the making of a fair cotton
crop in Crisp county. In other sec
tions of the cotton belt the insects
appear to have done the cotton much
harm in the cool nights which still
hang on, Here we have suffered, but
the weather just now is giving us a
fighting showing. Every farm ought
to be freed of the boll weevil while !
these weather advantages prevail,
—————— S ———
more in civilization. lls it better to
let the criminal escape capital punish
ment at times and still have a heart?
THEIR ELECTRIC POWER
The City of Denver and Denver
county have applied to the Federal
Power Commission for a permit cover
ing a water power and water supply
project on the South Platte river that
will mean the construction of six
dams that will yield 59,250 horse pow
er in hydro-electric current, becides
Turnishing a great supply of water
for other uses,
The City of Tacoma, Washington,
has just completed another project
which will mean a saving to munu
cipal users of nearly two hundred
thousand dollars a year in that city.
All these projects belong to the pub
lic, That in Denver belongs to both
the city and county. In Crisp couuty
the movement will become a public
enterprise and the returns, after pow
er ig produced and sold below all
other prices now prevailing, will de
fray all expenses of government so
that this will be a tax free county and
one to which industrial users will be
drawn by the advantages.
' The following news note from Ta
coma affords interesting reading as
Ilu rates and savings:
‘ “By the passage of a new rate or
j«!inance for city light and power, the
City Council of Tacoma, Wash,, claims
to have effected a saving of $190,000
per year for residents, merchants and
industrial operators in that city., The
new schedule follows closely the
completion of the Lake Cushman
plant, It will take effect July 1, and
the figure of $190,000 is estimated
by Superintendent of Light Llewellyn
Evans on the basis of business done
by the department during 1925. 'l‘hel
largest part of the saving, $BO,OOO, will
e made by merchants under a uew}
commercial lighting rate. :
- - . e PRI N T
“The cut in industrial power rates
averages 28.6 per cent, or more Ih:mi
one fourth, aand makes the schedule
one of the lowest in the United States,
The rate has also been simplified.
Herectofore « the city had a sliding
powey rate baseq upon the percentage
of fulltime use of maximum demand
which the customer’s meter indicated,
“Hencefarth most of the plants
will have only two rates on their hill,
an initial amount billed at 2 cents per
kilowatt-honr and an excess amount
billed at 0.5 cent per kilowatt-hour.
The amount representing 70 hours’
use per month of the full power de
mand of a plant will be charged for
at an initial rate of 2 cents instead
of 2.4 cents as heretofore. For any
excess over 5,000 kw.-hrs, in the 70-
hour-per-month use the rate drops to
1 cent,
“A secongq schedule covers the
amount of power used in excess of 70
hours per month. ‘This excess use
will cost only 0.5 cent per Kkilowatt
hour for the first 20,000 Kw-hrs., and
for big users a further reduction to
0.3 cent per kilowatt-hour will bhe
made, Customers heretofore enjoying
a speical “off-peak’ rate will no longer
get it, but the new rates will more
than offset tIIn loss,”
Told you so--there is no legislation
going to get by the party in poworl
that will help the farmer. Sonmthing;
may be passed which will fool Ihe“
farmer, but it will not be real re
lief. There isn't any such thing
possible. Repeal of the Forduey-Me-
Cumber tariff will afford the farm
er more real relief than all legisla
tion possible to devise through other
channels, To stop the big combines
from fixing exorbitant prices tor the
commodities which the farmers have
to buy and use in this country would
bring great relief. To throw down
the taritf walls against other coun
tries and permit them to come in and
sell their goods here and take back
home with them our surplus crops of
cotton alul wheat-—that would be farm
relief worth while. But it isn't com
inng from Coolidge and a republican
administration. |

FARMERS AND THE TARIFF
From the Milwaukee Journal:
We've plowed some ground, any
way, in all this talk abcut what to
do for farmers. Governor Lowden
in hi s interview in The Journal
Tuesday stated the issue, Industry
has its tariff, and the time has come
to frame our laws with the farmer
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
in mind.” And here is Vice President
Dawes himself explaining that the
high tariff enables manufacturers
to sell their surplus abread at less
than the American price is made pos
gible by the tariff. We have come
quite a distance, For it was only
yesterday that we were being told
that there was nothing to charges
that our kind of tariff enabled ite
beneficiaries to dump their surplus
overseas and cash in on the home
consumer. Why, only yesterday we
were being told that the foreigners
paid the taviif!
| When the Republican Vice-Presi
dent of a New England tariff Ad
'ministration gays such things, it
'means that the rays of the gld pre-
I tenses about tariffs for private prof
(its are numbered. There i 3 hope
that tomorrow we shall all |learn
that it is our wonderful mach{nery
with its enormous unit output that
makes labor's wages good, and ot
the tariff. Mr. Makes these almpst
revolutionary statements, accordipg
to Senator Watson, in defending fi;e
idea of similar price fixing by farm
ers. :
If farmers, like manufacturers
had some contirol of their production\
no doubt they, too, could dump their!
surpluses overseas and wmake the
home folks pay. But until they can
control weather, they haven’t a
chance to do it. They will come to
see it that way. Meanwhile, for the
first time in our history we have pro-‘
tagonists of the special privilege
tariff system actually explaining howl
the tariff enriches one class and ad-I
mitting that it does not work forl
farmers. Yet ad these years the‘
farmer has been told that his pros
perity depended upon it.
