AND THAT 1S POOR BUSINESS
With the recent exposure by
State Auditor Slate, of the ex.
trovagance, waste and misuse of
publie funds in the highway de.
partment fresh in the minds of
~ the people, lsn’t it presumptious,
fsn't it ridiculous, for those who
are supporting Holder to claim
that he is an “economist,” that
he is for “retrenchment?’ It is
just about as impressive as a
bootlegger preaching probdbition.
Better stick to the ‘persecution
and vindication” story—for while
it is the “baby act” in disguise
it 18 nevertheless more attractive
than his official record.—Millen
News.
And even the vindication story is
poor business. There isn’'t any vin.
dication. Cliff Walker did his duty—
nothigg but that—when he comergd
John Holder after acco’ixfl,'l“m the
highway department had gon ong.
It must be remembered tha e of
John Holder’'s highway men | ing
duty in prison for that same incident.
The first.superior court into which
John Holder took his fight to keep
from being ousted held that Governor
Walker wag right in firing him, ThatT
was settled in one court on purely a
matter of the law. IA another high.
er up where “Licker Dick” Russell
was boss, John Holder got what he
asked—and stayed on the job.
wnen mr. nolder first began deal
ing with Walker as governor, Walker
had no disposition to do with him
other than to work in harmony and
help him with the highways. It was
not Cliff Walker who got after him.
It was Bill Anderson, a member of
the highivay board who was in posi
tion to know the things he charged.
But when the fight came on, John
Holder heaped a big chip on his
nhyi;lrlde‘r.afi'fiallved the clans —the
Holder and Brown clans—and swore
then and there that Clliff Walker
should nevetr accomplish another
thing during his career as governor.
That word has been kept to the let.
ter. That chip was on John Holder's
shoulder during the legislature, both
regular session ang extraordinary.
Holder has been a long time in one
way or another around the state capi
tol. He was speaker of the house
long enough to make an army of po
litical followers. He had them—they
answered when he called, The whole
machine set its batteries on Clliff
Waiker, The governor knows how
they. have hounded every worth
while effort that has ’minated from
the governor's oftice and killed it in
the lcgislature. Some of the things
Cliff Walker has tried to do for
Georgia highways during his last two
years were wise and worth while.
Georgia wanted these things, but Ji)hn
Holder's chip was on his shoulder and,
instead of going after Bill Anderson,
John Holder went after Governor
Walker and stayed there. :
That's his idea of vindication. He
is still vindicating himself fighting
Cliff Walker. It is poor business.
‘But John Holder has been running for
governor ever since he was beaten by
Clitf Walker—and there you are. Now
he thinks he is going to be both
governor and head of the highways.
If Talmadge beats old man Jay Jay,
Holder will take care of him. He'll
be governor andg old man Jay Jay
will be chairman of the highway de
part'mem. That’s fine business. John
Lhillips. thinks he is going to be all
that. John Holder has more than
likely promised it to both—just like
he is promising state highway mileage
where he has none to promise, We
wonder if all those people who are
goine to find they cannot have their
highway mileage after the primary
will think passing well of John Hold
er.
In the meantime Georgians are not
going to have much more paving on
their highways while the money it
going to waste with the machinery
grafters and lobbyists and to the soft
surface upkeep at a cost of three hun.
dred dollars per mile per year. That’:
what John Hpolder says it costs — u 8
modern version of it. He doesn't even
suggest a way out of that, It was
tried in the legislature at the extra
sesgion and blocked by Holder's ex.
cited friends. We have a right to
gomething better than all this, We
may not get it, but still we are en
titled. It is worth trying to get it.
We are pretty sure that the fight
;wlll he kept up.
FAIRER TAXATION FOR
SUPPORTING PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Clarence Poe in the Progressive
Farmer: |
What Farmstead, Stock, and Home
of Minneapolis, Minn., said recently
is worth repeating:
“In the old days, the child edu
cated on the farm usually stay
eed in the farming community,
and his abilities, whether as a
farmer, or a blacksmith, a shoe
maker or a wagon-maker, stay
ed in the community and paid
taxes in the community, Now
more than half of the children

It goes to Minneapolis, Kansas
City, or Buffalo. The livestock is
no longer made into meat by
the local butcher, and leather by
the local tanner. It goes to the
big centers, The farm machin
ery, the clothing, and even much
of the foods are processed in
factories in large cities. Thus
enormous values are concentrat
ed. The roads which serve the
farmer for marketing his prod
ucts serve the city man equally
by getting these foods to him.
We cannot very well * reduce
greatly the principal items of
cost that makes taxes high. But
.‘'we can and should change our
method of taxation to conform
to changing conditions.”
In other words, there ought to be
a recognition of the fact that the

weaith produced on gur {arms is be
ing largely' concentrated in our
cities. To a considerable extent, even
the ownership of farm lands is get
ting into the hands of city men, and
rent-profits much needed at home
to enrich the rural community, help
instead to increase urban wealth.
For all these reason, while former
ly it was fair enough to let ‘rural
counties or communities bear the
whole burden of supporting their
schools, roads, and hospitals, this is
no longer the case.
In some state rural counties in
order to maintain a six months’ pub
lic school are having to levy sevéral
‘times as much tax on each 100 own
ed by its needy people as an ad:
joining urban ‘éemnty M'?ké'
wealtheier populatioft. This is un
fair, esrfecially when the poorer
counties are all the while enriching
the wealthier county through the
trade patronage of their farmers.
