to take it away from Swift & Com.
pany. In the main the Federal Trade
Commission was busy undertaking to
prevent the big packers from buying
up the independent plants and thus
eliminating competition, but in this
case Swift & Company are real mis
sionaries in the packing industry in
Georgla and their operation, of ‘the
Moultrie plant without question pleas
ed the public. The TUnited States
Supreme court has handed down a
decision which leaves the Moultrie
plant in the hands of Swift & Com-
Jpany. This assures its continued op
eration by those who can make it
o permanent institution where it is
_needed. Swift doesn’t control the
e ifice of hogs—cannot do this easily

THIS IS A REPUBLICAN |
Will Rogers says that a repub
lican is a man that Knpws enough
to stop planting cotton and he
is just about righ A )üblica}l
is also a man ghativ ‘u‘g to gi%
a manufacture duict, the pio- |
tection of a tariff wall and deny
the same t 6 the laborer in the
mill that produces the product.
He wants to protect the commod.-
ity from the competition of cheap
foreign labor. That is what a
republican is and that is what a
lot of thoughtless democrats are
too.— Bainbridge Post Searchlight.
That's right—good definition. The
republican party has a corner on the
manufacturing and banking interests
of this couniry—and it has agricul
gm“e penalized. Through the Fordney:
Mc¢Cumber tariff law, the manufactur
er'is levying high tribute upon the
manufactured article which he sells
fl(e farmer, He isn’t concerned about
the raw product because he knows
the banker will take care of that. In}
other words, if Wall Street isn't in.
terested in cotton, then cotton will
sgfl at a beggar's price—and Wall
‘Stteet isn’t going to be interested in
cotton at all unless there is such a
scarcity of it that selfish motives
prompt a scramble for the stocks that
afi available. And it doesn’t seem
that there will ever again be a
scarcity of cotton.
.. What agriculture has to pay for
manufactured goods is all out of pro
portion to that return the farmer
gots for his marketable commodities.
The republicans have that fixed and
they are sitting easy upon it—and
we have a little president who thinks
the whole country is prospercus if
the manufacturing east—the republi
:ans i 3 prosperous,
The trouble about the prosperity of
the present day is that it is an en
forced prosperity—that of one class
‘o the hurt of another. The Coolidge
government ig permitting the manu
facturing class, through the high
tariff, to levy tribute upon the agri
cultural classes.
But that is republicanism—it isn’t
anything new.

And still more counties can wli:
he zame story. The counties issuing‘:
onds with which to match the state
unds need not fear— but they ap
parently need not rush. The state
:vstem is going to be paved through
nd through before any county money
:omes back. We think Georgians are
pretty well made up in -their minds
about that—and they ought to be.
One of the faulty provisions in the
last proposed legislation for state
bonds was the effort of some of the
big counties to grab out of the bag
before there was anything in it.
I'hey hag planned for a million out
of every ten expended to go back to
the counties which have already is.
sued and expended bonds on paving.
i' Nothing will satisfy but immediate
saving. If we can have a state bond
‘esue for paving that can be {inanced
with the tag and gas money—after
‘we have taken the highway depart
'ment out of politica—then we wiil
be making progress, but none of that
should go to the countieg—not a dol
lar of it—tili at least the principal
mileages of the state system has
bheen paved.
We want to warn the counties is
suing bonds for paving that if they
expend their paving money they are
likely to wrestle with their leoad of
taxes before the state system is
paved to that extent where the re
funds can be made. We believe
Georgians in charge of the affairs of
the state will always want to refund
to those counties expéndiug money
on paving done with that understand.

WE MUST KEEP PACE
We gather the following ncws of
gouthern electric power develornmonl
from the Manufacturers Record—it is
presented here to help along in im
pressing the fact that electric power
in abundance ig a basic necessity for
development in any progressive com
munity.
“The Florida Power and Light com
pany is spending $35,000,000 in the
extension of its electrical operations
in Florida fcllowing an expenditure
last year in the same state jof 15-
O(j)“),():(')()‘, or a total in two years of
$50,000,000. Tts two new power plants,
one just completed and the other to
be finished early 'in December, have
cost about $11,000,000 and will de
velop about 235,000 horsepower. Oth
or electric companics in {hdt state are
spending a good many millions of
dollars in building power plants and
trapsmission. lines.
r w‘fie Alabama Power Company is
¢ompleting a plant which will have
an ultimate cost of about $17,000,000
and will involve the construction of
a lake covering 40,000 acres, to be
the largest artificial lake in America.
This, however, ig only one of the
great enterprises of that company,
w}li‘qlx‘%;fifi&txfying forwapd""many‘ other
new opéfations and’ stretching it
lines over zin ever-cxpariding region.
“Out in Texas several vast power
plants are being :'(:"onstmcted at a
cdst of many millions of dollars, one
of them to be of exceptional interest
because of its use of lignite, of which
Texas hag billions of tens available
for such purposes.

magnitude and far-reaching impor
tance nothing like this activity in
the construction of electric-power
plants has ever been seen before z-m._\‘-
where in America.”

ty could go hand in hand to any
larze task, it has been no man’s
dream that we could go out on our
own initiative and produce the hydro
electric power we need. But we are
moving in that direction — and the
critical period has been passed. We
may expect industrial growth. It will
come. :
Witaout it we could do little. Wity
ness what is heiué dong in other sec
tions. Nobody had specially picked
out this community for hydro-electric
pewer and industrial development.
Why should its own people not de it?
