how hungry is the modern public for

the secret of the interest in the
Aimee McPherson case—plain sex ad

standards. Olg France might tell us

POLITICS AND PAVING
Here is one thing Georgians must
get into their minds first and last
and all the time. The state highway
department must be wholly removed
from politics. 1t can be, We are not
going to listen to any other thing
about it—that department must gei
out of politics—out wholly and com.
pletely. 1
We do not know how it is going to
be removed from politics if (he poli
ticians are left to dominate or dis
tace in the general assembly. There
ffind there alone—this thing will
have to be accomplished. It cannot
be done elsewhere. Georgiangz have
starteq in that direction in the decla.,
rations put into their state democrat
ic platform recently in Macon. That
was a principle laid down——remove
the state highway department frem
politics,
All Georgia must be Lell-hent for
that. The politicians must understand
that nothing else will do, They are
not going to felinquish their hold on
th\s d(‘un‘nmvm nnless they are fore.
ed to do so, Dr., Hardman is pledg
od to that thing, His friends arve,
Now, are we going to get it—are
we? How many members of the gen
eral assembly are going to Atlanta at
the next session determined upon
that thing? Are enough of them go.
ing there with that in mind to ac
complish it—are they?
You know, Georgia is a mighty
state to send its politicians to the
legislature to trade with each other
~give you what you want if you will
give me what I want. That's been
@ damning, overshadowing influence
in the legislature since this genera.
tion has heen olg enough to read and
understand, There are enough sel
fish desires that get before the gen.
oral assembly in a session to kill
every worth while movement. DBut
this time we are expecting something
clge—the highway department must
come out of politics,
The only thing necessary to ac
complish that is to make the chair-j
man and all his board members m-i
eligible for political office of any kind‘
—~make it unlawful for any one of
them to hold office within a perlod{
of three to five years after they have
severeq connection with the highway
department, That rule ought to be
made to apply to the chief engineer
and all hig district engineers. One
strong man ought to be made chair
man of that board and paid a fine
salary. He ought to be a highway
man who could get goog paving at a
reasonable cost. That's poessible for
it is bheing done elsewhere. The
highway head in North Carolina gets
fifteen thousand dollars a year. He
has thirty-three hundred miles of con
crete paving in that state. Some of
it—at least that we have seen—is of
lasting quality. It looks like business
principles prevailgd when it was con
structed., He ig a native North Caro
linian and one never hears of politics
in the highway department of that
state, The head and his engineers
are‘not allowed any sort of voice in
politics. That state has an eighty
five million dollar bond issue for pav
ing and it is going to have another
twenty million dollar issue when the
assembly meets again. North Caro
lina needeq its paved highways worse
than "Georgia needs them“=hnt gra
cious, man-—how North Carolina has
developed with the paved highways!
It got what it has through a period
of several years.
The tax payer in Georgia nced not
worry about whether we pay as we
go or whether we issue bonds for
paving. The real problem is a high
way department free from polities.
Our gasoline tax ang our auto tag
money will pay for the paving under
either method—if we have a business
administration in charge. But it
must be strict business. That alone
will get results, There isn't any
thing else that will get the p:li‘in;‘,.
We have gone long enough on cheap
politics. No good governor can do a
thing when a gang of yawping poli
ticiang stringhalt him, hog-tie him,
take the progress out of his program
when they come to the legislature
and argue and scramble and fight
and squabble ang quarrel over this
and that political result.
This state must wake up its mem.
bers of the general assembly. They
are already elected for the next ses
sion. We've got to have them under.
stand that we want business applied
!in our highway department—that we
want it out of politics. A ten minute
period given to that woulq fix it del
initely—oenly that time is necessary.
But we must have a house and a sen
ate whose members have already
made up: their minds on the snhject.‘
Georgia cannot have paved highwu.\'s{
'till the highway department goes out
—clean and clear—from political in
terference of any Kind.
If the assembly will give us that
|kind of highway departinent, we will
show Georgia some paving -— and a
|pu\'vd system of highways before five
R;r have elapsed. In the next three
Moars we are promised something like
‘t.\zirt;«.six million dollars from gaso
fline tax and auto tag licenses, and
‘!‘»»:h\r:\l aid. That’s money enough to
start something—bonds or no bonds,
1 Wwe've got to get r»id of that sofi
surfuce waste. The eountics will bt
glad to take it back and do that ser
vice if the state will get busy with
the paving, DBut we mnust gtop the
highway depaitment from wasting
money on the soft surface upkecp.
That thing must be stopped, The
politiciang—once out of the way-—will
not care about that spccial thing
longer., When we come to a status
where the great number of employees
used in the soft. surface upkeep are
Jot available in a race for governor
or some other high office, then the
polltllclanu will no longér care what
lbecome’s of the soft surface upkeep
employees,
; Another thing must he done-—not
a dollar of the gasoline and auio ta:
fundz should go anywhere hat into
the paving of Georgia highwuy s, W
must be willing to accept tact Gip ..
Eul of the money before we musi o
lpect paving—expect it from the sinic
jhlghwny department, It cannot dis
jtrihute the money around to the
counties—one cent here and another
cent there—and have anything left
with which to pave. It cannot be
done-—there isn’'t a man this side of
paradise who can do it. The public
has a right to expect the tag and
gasoline money to go into paving.
Unless it does, the public—which is
a powerful roaring lion when it is
enraged, outraged, and imposed upon
by dupes angd impqstom ~will ;rm'se,fi,
storm that will not subside until we
have lost our right to impose ;{hfifi;‘
taxes. We must remember that the
public’s consent is at the foundation
of all our government. Those into
whose handg the future of our high
ways is soon to be entrusted must
deliver paved roads. Unless they ‘do,
there will be trouble with the public
—great trouble..

EXCHANGE COTTON SEED FOR
MEAL
Tait Butler in the Progressive Farm
er:
A reader says e sold cotton seed
at $32 per ton last year and bought
cottonseed meal at $49. He asks if it
would not pay better to crush the
seed and feed them rather than ex
change at the prices state.
One pound of cotton seed meal is
worth 1 1-2 _pounds of seed for
feeding purposes and is more satis

soigfihe (Fame, amount of ch;f‘. for
$4B ‘as coét him ‘only $4O when he
bought it. Of course there is the cost.
of marketing the seed and hauling
the meal back to the farm, hut
against this must be set the cost of
grinding the seed. In addition, as
stated, the meal is more satisfactory
for feeding. We would rather have
a pound of meal than 1 1-2 pounds
of seed for feeding especially if one
wishes to feed the meal or the seed
rather freely. In view of these
facts, we think that the cost of
grinding the seed and the more sat
isfactory feeding qualities of the
meal will offset the cost of market
ing the seed and hauling the meal
back to the farm,
The oil in the seed iz worth more
for human food than for feeding
livestock and that is why the oil
mills can give more than 1,366
~pounds of meal for 2,000 pounds of
{ seed.
