HERE 1S WHAT THEY WANT
The Early County News says
that a business governor is only
theoretically desired by the politi
cal noise makers. And that's the
truth. They want anything other
than a business governor. They
want a back-slapping, promise
making, wish-washy jellyfish who
can be thumped and twisted at

guides them. We are going to the
test of this thing on September eight.
PREVENTING MALARIA

clouds of them find the interior of

a few minutes each morning with the

THAT WOULD BE SOME BETTEWR
The senate is committed to the
theory of price fixing at last.
Hereafter men who run for the
genate are limited to $25,000 ex
penses.—Savannah Press.
And at that it would be far bet
(er to limit the funds for a senate
campaign than to let the office—the
laghest in the gift of the American
people save one—go out to the high
est bidder among the rich. It fsn't
hard to decide, after seeing so much
of the heavy cost of senate cam
paigns, that no poor man can become
cenator any more, no matter how
cipable of good public service he
riwy be, That's all wrong. No pub
ic office ought to be held in this
pisnner bevond the reach of the able
man. It takes money to qualify now
a great fortune—for the United
States senate.
THAT 800 MILES OF NEW ROAD
Macon Telegraph:
Somcbody somewhe e ought to do
comething about the state highway
Department and its hecus pocus on
road mileage to be allutted. People
all cver the state ave scared lo ex
press themselves with regard to the
governorship Peeaase here and there
they want Yew roads taken over by
the kighway department, and they
are afraid if the chairman finds
out they are nct gong to vote for
him for governor, he will not give
<hem their road, and then they will
be out of luck.
There has been much peregination
by the highway depovtnient holding
“hearings” as to the necessity for
this and that rord. Thete i an im
pression among the people that the
department has £OO miles of new
roads to allot, and it 1s to get in on
this #OO miles that has caused all
the furore and the meetings over
the state. Now, let’s zee:
The state teeasuver on January 1,
1926, distributed to Ithe counties
their portion of the 1 cent gas tax,
and is still doing it. Ihiz was done
on 1 total mileage of 6,249.3 miles,
as compiled by the highway depart
ment
The law of 31025 (the latest) says
“Provided, that the total mileace of
the ctate hizhway syciem shaid not
exceed 6,300 mics.
Accerding to this, the depariy ot
only has 50.7 mies to allot, and ail
the meetings over the state have
been held with more or less idea
that there are full 800 miles to be
griven out. Who put our this report
and why it is aliowed to travel with
out cerrection by competent authori
ty is probably “est koown to the
chairman-candidate for for governor
Hon B. F. Mann, member of the
Legislature, from Glyni, and per
hapg the best informed legislator on
roads and Georgia’s neads, called at
tention to this ir ormaiion or situa
tion last March, and yet the depart
men has been holding f‘henrings"
right along, allowing the people
pleading befors it to think the de
partment has 800 miles to give out.
The 800-miie impreszion develop
ed nrobably from the fact that the
act o' 1919 limitod the total mileage
for the system to 4,.00 miles; in
1921 this was increased to 5,500
the uct of 1925 increased it to “not
exceeling 6,30 C;” and the impres
sion arose thur there was an addi
tional 890 miies of roads, this beimg
the difference boetween 5,500 and
