A nro'a‘L tragedy has been enacted
ip tho removal of Dr. Suzzallo as
president of the university of ‘the
state of Washington, This capable
cdueator has been made the victini’ of
the cheapening ambitions of a timber
jack governor of the state. Suzzallo,
as head of public safety in the state
during the war, advocated the eight
hour day in the lumber camps of
Washington. Hartley, then a wealthy
lumberman, opposed Suzzallo. Since,
he has become governor of the state
and his office gives him the authori
ty to appoint the governing board of
the university. He has thus put his
friends in, one by one, till he could
oust Dr. Suzzallo. Often the cheap
spite and spleen of a man who sin’t
laige enough to live without it, costs
a great deal in a community and state,
Hartley's animosity has cost the

: FACTS ABOUT THE

The tixpuyers of Crisp county will

plant. ‘They are right in that. They
ought 10 understand, for The Dis.
patch l”'ls that there is' no mistake,
no injustice, no heavy load of taxes
to shoulder,
This isn't a public improvement
without an income in visible dollars
and cents. Truly paving yields a
tremendous income. Likewise do con
solidated schools. But the power
plant has a definite income in dollars
and celi;s promised, Its fair earnings
in a yéir will be half a million dol.
lars. That will come with the pow.
er only half developed and the price
obtained only one cent per Kilowat
hour. That's minimum. There will
be a demand for the power, Not
a bit of it will go to waste. There
never has been any of this kind of
power going idle. Every hydro-elec.
tric plant in this country is sold up
to its very limit and where it is tied
into any system, the supply is sup.
plimented in steam plants. There
not be an over supply of it—not
'tho vears we will be paying for
rs. It will earn its vear's quota
of bonded debts, It will pay operat
ing expenses. Then there. will be a
handsome fund lett to be used. in
mecting county expenses—we boli'vo
in five years time we will have a
tax.free county. That's certainly
promised in the earnings of this plant,
No hydro-electric power plant that
iwe ever heard of ever failed. None
that we have ever known ever sold
for less than twice what it cost to
build it. None we ever heard of had
any trouble except to meet the call
for more power. Flint river has a
rutficient flow of water to make our
plant an all.year producer of great
value, It is said to be one of the
best engineers have found in this
section of Georgia.
IT BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE
The Crisp county hydro . electric
power plant will be owned and cop
trolled by the people of this county.
Not a user can have the power at any
price until the power commission in
charge have negotiated and traded
for it.
The county commissioners, togeth
er with four citizens to be chosen
by the grand jury, one each year
after the start, for a term of court
vears will serve as the power com.
mission, The city of Cordele will
have to negotiate any trade with this
commission for power it may draw
from the plant and they will have to
agree upon what is to be paid. for
it. Likewise will all other users
have 'to deai with this commission,
llt is strictly a county controlled in
stitution—and there are no taxeg to
)pgy on it of any kind anywhere. ’l'hal
‘gfind jury, the truly representative
body of the people. of the county.i
will fix the pay of the power com.}
missioners and will control the per
sonnel of the commission,
The power plant in control as well
as in fact belongs to the county and
through the grand jury the people
will control and manage it. The
county cimmissionerg are chosen by
the people and they, too, will be ‘di
rectly responsivie to the people—the
people of the county. There is not
an objectionable feature in the meas
ure providing for the plant that we
kfivw could be ratsed.
It should be plainly understood, al
so that o vopte fer, the amendment in
the Novembéer second general election
plainly legalizes the bonds, The
power commission can after that elec
tion, if it carries, go forward with
their work on the plant. There is
nothing else to do, either here orl
in the legislature, When the amend.-
ment is approved" by a majority of
those voting in the county, the bonds
are provided. When the state votes
for the amendment at the same tlme,l
it is then a matter of building and
operating the plant,
WHAT IS THE REASON?
You can travel in every section
of the country and it is easy to
see the natural advantageg which
this section has over the others.
We have been slow to develop our
resources but nature has done
well her part here.~Adel News,
Now, that we have what, at least, a
large complaining element of Geor
giang believed necessary-—a business
atmosphere for public service—that
state promises to take hold of these
natural advantages and make the
most of them. We can have more
paved roads for the money than eith.
er North Carolnia or Florida because
nature has been kindly to us, Our
lands promise us more returns for our
labors, Our water powers are here
to develop—hundreds of thousands of
horsepower going on to the sea idle,
but smiling a willingness to work in
every little eddy and ripple. This
is not mere idle claptrap. 1t is the
tiath, And not half of our real ad.
vantages are revealed in what is here
said.
We have chosen to discard cheap
politics and seek strict business in
the public office. Let's use the pub.i
lic office as though it belonged to
the public and try to make_ it yleld|
results for the public. Let's. have;
the victor and the vanquished allke‘
fizhting for a greater Georgia, 'l‘hei"e!
is tragedy in one faction trying to
keep the other from doing something.!
There is stagnation and loss of
place in our rank in the great de
veloping southeast where we give our
best thought to ,l-méthads of beating
somebody else to an office, We have
great reward coming to us if togeth.

Georgia has something to do, It

These things must be done—public

Charlie Brown, of the Cordele
Dispatch, is now hopeless. He
has found something at last that
suits him. He says the National

is a good job.—Savannah Press,
Well, thig is a good time to say

ment was heading into an election for
governor in which he was a mighty
deeply interested participant. We're
for concrete paving. That's the best
on earth, It costs more, and all that,
but conerete in the long run is the
goods for paving. But we have a
good job—what appears to bhe— in

will stay and endure the traffic only
to acqullnf a greater polish. .
HANDICAPPING POLITICS
Five newspaper men were de
teated -in the recent primary,
~ They ‘were: E. H. Griffin, of
1 Bainbridge; Lovelace Bve, of
Americus; Clarence Leavy, of
Brunswick; Roy McGinty, of
Chatsworth, for the legislature;
and W. R, Frier, of Douglas, for
public service commissioner. We
are old-fashioned enough to be
lieve that newspaper editors
should not be handicapped by
politics,—Dalton Citizen. :
We do not like to term it old
fashioned,, The nespaper man in
worthwhile accomplishment cannot
give much time to politics—time that
takes him away from his place. He
may fight it out in his paper -—
sgpress”~himself, We like that. If
he has no opinions and no power to
defend them, then he isn’t thé right
man for the newspaper job. And if
he isn't capable of defending the
right and”’ condemning the wrong—
it he cannot expose sham and dis
honesty and uphold courage and merit
in men—he has missed his calling. He
ought not to be in the newspaper
field if he cannot find his content.
ment in using the power of the press
to eliminate waste, dishonesty and
corrupt government. The lure of pub
lic office should find no ground for
development in the soul of the good
newspaper man.
If anything else in the wide world
calls more than the love of his work
in the newspaper, then he ought to
take stock of himself and determine
again whether he ought to continue
trying to run' a newspapei.
Still, we are sorry our editors who
wanted to didn’t get there.
WORK THAT STOPS
INTELLECTUAL GROWH
The Progressive Farmer:
In the great factories and i'ndugz
trial establishments of today each in
dividual operative becomes just a
clave to a machine—a colossal ty
rant, Juggernaut of a machine that
crushes much of the best of life out
of the workers. Like a slave doing
Ihe bidding of some cold and heart
less monster, the employees must
go through a certain monotonous set
of motion, dictated by the machine
hour after hour, day after day,
week after week, month after month
vear after year. His brain the work
er cannot use; the machine has no
use for it. The man who invented
the machine so devised it that the
worker may let his brain atrophy.
There is only unvarying, unceasing,
monotonous repetition of certain
motions, over and over again.
Is it any wonder that a prominent
welfare worker among cotton mill
operatives confessed to us sometime
| ago that it alarmed him to see how
! the minds of potentially bright bovs
‘and girls were drying up, going into

“Never a Special Sale’’ Means
Lower Prices in the Beginning

Well Known Dealers in Furni

. - plain Significance of This
Unusual Policy.
When the firm of Stephen Philibo
sian, Jne., of Atlgnta, advertises they
never conduct a “Special Sale,” some
people do not grasp the full signifi
cance of this policy,\and for the pur
pose of thoroughly explaining whyl
such a plan is of sap;;ial importance
to the buying public {this article is
written, \ 1
It stands to reason thut eny firm
that never conducts a ‘Special cut“
price sale must mark thel merchan-|
dise so low in the beginnfi\g that a
special gale will not be necessary in!
order to move the stock. i
This is precisely' what the firm of
Stephen Philibosian, Inc., does. When‘
new furniture, -rugs or draperies, are
Bought, the selling price is marked
€0 low that it is not necessary to out
the price and wage an intensive sell
ing campaign to move the goods. Peo~
ple come to the store, see the remark

A Big Advantage »t(:, the Buyer.
Whén one stops t‘)’gfilyzbftms fiol
icy, it is readily sceén that this mer
chandising plan worksito big advan
tage to the buyer. For instance: sup
pose you were running a store that
conducted special sales. When you,
bought new merchanglse, you would'
mark it up to what thé average storei
considered a fair profit. If the goods
were not sold at this price they <:ould!
remain in your store for months, may
be years. Finally, in onder to get rid
of such surplus, you would conduct a'
cut-price sale. You would cut the orig
inal price to such a point that the!
public would consider it value enough
to_ buy.
From th public’s standpoint people
are buying.merchandise lower in price[
than it has been marked in the past,
but, at the same time, they are buy
ing goods which mgy not show thatl
they are shop woirn, but it is true
nevertheless that this merechandise has
stood on the floor for a considcrablel
time,
We are c?mpelied to reduce our stock.of uséd cars
in order ¥o make more deliveries on new cars, And
we are going to sell them almost regardless of
price. We have them of differcnt makes, models,
colors and sizes. |lf you want a good used car we
can gst together. \ i H
It will pay you to look our cars over Lefore you

Philibosian Policy Means New
- Merchandise, : ¥
The policy of Stephen Philibosian,

merchandise that you buy. .. .
"It is a well-known fact that the
vogue in furniture and household fur-'
nishings changes just as surely as
the vogtie in ciothes. —Although this

comes nevertheless and people who
are interesied in kecping up will

furniture design when they hbay.
Anyone who doubts the quality and
style of the furniture offered for sale
by Stephen Philibosian, Inc., necd
only visit this beavtiful stcre and see
the merchandise for themecelves.
