¢ MEANING OF THE ELECTION
Public office is public trust. The
voter has a right to expect more of
men in public office than the mere
exhibition of a diploma from the
school of politics. Half the voters wlm‘
cast their ballots for #he winner in
yesterday's run-over primary duubt.J
leBB have already resigned themselves
to the old, old fate—that of paying
taxes and voting—and getting in re.
turn for it—more politics. We huv:-,l
.'h d Lhut: expression s 0 olten in
'303.:»":.:!6 i we'kflow # is a cémmon
thought. The averaga voler expects
nothing in rotérn for what he ' puts
into the state treasury and into the
ballbt 'box as his share of the burden
of gn,v'(ernmcnt‘ppd his ‘1¢!x;)rossi()11
wirlcfi he thinks in favor of the best
man— he expects nothing in rvturn‘
but politics,
That ought not to be the case,
Other states here and theie get pub.
lic service., North Carolina gets pub.
lic service—has been getting it so
long till that state has forged far
ahead of us in development of indus.
tfies, in paved highways, in good
schools, Florida has done wonders in
that line--has today in the public
treasury over seventeen million doi”
lars surplus, despite the slump and
the storm misfortunes. North Caro
lina last year put thlrt_v-thi‘ee million
dollars into consolidated rural schools
and cother educational facilities “and’
into maintenance of good schools,
That's more than Georgia puts into
education in three years. How in the
world does North Carolina do that?
Nobody in North Carolina pays a
cent of state tax. People may ridicule
that state as a debt.ridden state, but
it isn't so, Those who ride the 3,.-
300 miles of paved highways pay for
them and appear really glad to do it.
They say the four.cent gasoline tax
and the auto tag are both paying in
vestments for them-—and they are for
they save fuel on the paved highways
and the wear and tear on cars and
tires., But North Carolina has a bus
iness administration of its public of
fices. The head of the highway
" board nor any of the cngineers can
““dahble in pelitics. They cannot run
for office while they hold these jobs,
A‘d nows that the primary is over,
we swdnt to “sco it written inte the
state laws of Georgia that no official

¢ ment. i future is elligible to hold
public office. That will take politics
out of the highway department, root
and branch. It will not matter with
us in future whether we have our
paving by the pav.as.you go plan or
on an issue of bonds, We will have
a botter chance to get them—pavod
highways. We want to see the gas.
oline tax funds all go into the high.
way treasury and the soft.surface
maintenance go back to the counties,
as Sam Slate recommended in his
last audit of the department. We
want to see men in charge o' our
highway divicions who know paving
—and will be capable of getting a
project through when it is ready (o

The whole southeast, with the mis. |
erable and pitiable exception ol Qe n'.‘

with great speed. Our sister atate

expression—of the wish of Georgians

believe public office is going to mean
gomeithing in the fu'ure other than
mere politics, Wo want Georgia to
learn to expect more, We want them

they have cast their ballots at t.hlui
time, We certainly believe they are
going to get that, else we should not}

have won out. '
We are not only going to look lo!
Dr, Hardman and Gene Talmadge nmll
the men they gather around them in
public office for a greater, but we nrul
going to look to George (‘urs\wll'sf
friends and Joe Wood's friends, and
Johin Holder's friends, and J, l|
Grown’s friends to fall into line and:
pull for a greater Georgia, We want
to put away peanut politics, Wc'
want public service, We never wunt‘
to hear of the trading of the 1)«:1‘.'
quisites of one office for the advzm.'
toges of another again., We want|
those who hold office to umlerslam]'
that the public expects service in the |
office to which the lucky man has‘
been lifted at the ballot box. '
Great industria] development is‘
headed into the southeast with miL}
lions upon millions in investments lnl
many businesg lines. It will require
a house cleaning in Georgia to pre
pare the way, It will take paved high

It will take a modern taxing. §ystem

"t.em, but a modern system wh'k.‘h will
get the state's Jevenues tro?l' the
isource that ought to stand it, North‘
Carolina prospered so last year that
it paid into the federal treasury u!
hundred and ninety-six million dollars
in income and other taxes. ",That
state’'s prosperity made that possible,
How perfectly astounding that thing
is in comparison with Georgin whose
above three millions of people groan
under a load of taxes. How perfect
ly inexcusable in our people that this
state is not growing at the same
yapid pace! Nobody but Geprgians
who spend their time in politics is
responsible, 3 :
Our recent primaries are aE»iublic
mandate to discard politics m)? get
down to business, We are to put
away peanut politics and set up the
sTandards of a greater Georgld—and
we are to do it pulling hand in hand
all together, victor and vanguished
alike, all too busy to ever think of
cheap political spoils. 3
CURBING WHITE PLAGUE
Infants have been succossful\‘y‘ vac.
cinated against tuberculosis, Dr, B.
Weill-Halle, associate director of the
school for child welfare of the college
of Medicine, Paris, said today before
the National Tuberculosis Association
convention,
“«B C Q' is the name given the sub
stance used in vaccinating infants,”
said Dr. Weill-Halle. “It has resulted
in the reduction of mortality to less
than one per hundred the first years
of life, whereas the mgrtality among
¢hildren of the same age, not so vac
cinated and reared in contaminated
families, is at least twenty-five per
Dhundred,” b &
~ The reperts were based on the
:oxpm’ionco‘ among infants in France,
‘Great Britain, Belgium and Sweden.
“This treatment is not a cure for
(überculosis,” Dr. Weill.Halle stated,
“The vaccination is performed only
‘upon infants and immediately after
‘i>ir|h. Up to the present. only a very
mall number of deaths from tubercu
losis is reported, or of discases pre
sumed to he tuberculosis. Our data
s vet is insufficient to determine the
probable duration of irimunity. We
i;‘xm\\' only that very precise experi
ments with calves and monkeys, as
well as observations on children vac
inated since 1921, show that resist.
ance to infection due to cohabitation
with contagious tuberculous persons
continues for three years and perhaps
longer,"”
The preparation of the vaccine used
is highly technical and must be safe
suarded by many precautions in the
laboratories. Prof, Calmett’s original
vaceine was propagated through 230
cenerations, thus attennating its vi.
rulence. The result was a living tu
perculosis germ so weakened that it
no longer possessed the faculty of
forming tubercules, but retaining its
abiltiy to create what are techuically
wnown as anti-bodies — substances
l’nu\'im! an antagonistic effect upon
the germs of the disease.
