Fine Cooperation
By Congressman
Homer C. Parker
One of the most useful congress
men from Georgia is the Honorable
Homer C. Parker, of the First Con
gressional District, whom we believe
will be overwhelmingly endorsed by
the voters of his district at the Sep
tember primary.
Mr. Parker has made a magnifi
cent record, and has just received a
letter from Mr. James A. Farley,
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, in which Air. Farley
speaks of tho fine spirit of coopera
tion Mr. Parker has shown in his
relations with the democratic ad
ministration.
The following is a copy of Mr.
Farley’s letter to Mr. Parker:
Washington. July 5, 1934
Honorable Homer C. Parker
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C.
My dear Homer:
Now that Congress has adjourned,
may I not take this opportunity to
thank you for the fine spirit of coop
eration that you have exhibited with
Farmers Paid Part Money
Work was started today on the
final checkup of acre measurements
given in federal [cotton contracts by
farmers of Burke County. In the
Midville district, the work is being
handled by a cocmitteeo composed
of Charlie B, Seeger, Homer Smith
and H. C. Taylor. About 80 per cent
of the checks for the first half of the
amount due the farmers has already
been received, The other half will
be paid as soon as the corrected
measurements have been forwarded
to Washington. This money paid to
Burke county farmers has stimulated
local business.
reference to the national administra
tion. It is my honest judgment
that the record of the seventy third
congress will go down in history as
an epoch making achievement, dedi
cated as it was to the benefit of tho
people of this country.
I want you to know how apprecia-
tive I am of your fine spirit of help
fulness. The seventy third congress
can stand on its record. For the
constructive legislation, for the far-
seeing vision, for the understanding
of the human needs of the people of
the country, you as a member of this
1st Cattle Enroute
Tho first shipment of Western
cattle is now enroute, and will arrive
in Midville in a few days. 200 cows
have been alloted to Will McMillan,
who has about 800 acres devoted to
pasturage on the McKinney farms in
Emanuel county, three miles from
here. These cows will be kept in
Midville 72 hours, while they are
being tested for tuberculosis and
other diseases prevalent among cat
tle. It is understood 200 cows will
be placed on the land of the Emanu

other allotments will be sent to this

congress can well be proud.
And when you return for the
seventy fourth congress next year, I
am sure you will be just as helpful
in the furtherance of the new pro
gram of social legislation which
President Roosevelt has put forward
as a goal for the next two years of
his administration.
With kind regards, believe me.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) JAS. A. FARLEY,

ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Citizens of Burke County:
You have been good enough to elect
me your Representative for three suc
cessive terms, once without opposition
and twice with opposition Both times I
had opposition I personally supported the
winning gubernatorial candidate; but
neither time I had opposition did I in
any way connect my candidacy with
that ol any gubernatorial candidate in
order to be elected, and in my race for
the Senate this year I am not going to
do so. I have good friends supporting
different candidates for Governor, and I
hope to receive support from all sides.
I publicly announced my intention to
run for the State Senate long before any
candidate announced again ft the present
Governor, and 1 was going to run my
own race regardless ol whether he had
opposition or not. I am running abso
lutely on my own initiative and responsi
bility and not on the merits or demerits
of any gubernatorial candidate. If cleded,
I shall cooperate with the Governor,
whoever he may be, as far as I can con
scientiously do so. Anyone who is
familiar with my record knows 1 have
always atfed on principle and not from
any selfish or partisan motives.
Space will not permit me to give a
detailed platform here, but I will be glad
to tell anyone how 1 stand on any legis
lative queftion in which he may be inter
ested. All 1 ask is that you inquire of
me personally, and that you do not ac
cept hearsay evidence on any question.
When I was in the minority and my I
attitude was generally unpopular, I voted
and worked for the diversion cf highway
funds to aid the common schools and
Confederate pensioners; and I shall cer
tainly be happy to do it again.
I shall vote to ratify the Governor’s
action on the Three Dollar Tag, and I
shall never vote to collect any suspended
tag taxes As to the future price of
motor vehicle tags, Three Dollars is all
right for passenger automobiles and
ncn-commercial trucks; but I do believe
that heavy common carrier trucks and
busses should pay more,
As to the suspended Public Service
Commissioners, two of them arc running
in the coming Primary: and, if the people
do not vote to elect them, I will never
vote to reinstate any of them.
The record will show that I have al
ways been a true friend to the common
schools, There is always a lot of talking
about the school question before election,
but unforunarcly very little is ever done
about it afterward. Our schools need
better financial support, and I want them
to get it.
Intangible properly is almost entirely
escaping taxation. Tax it at a low rate;
put it on the tax books; and we shall
have several million dollars a year more
revenue which can be used to finance
our schools and institutions and also to
reduce the advalorcm lax on our homes
and farm lands.
I favor home Rule (or our counties
and municipalities so that local matters
may be settled inside the political
subdivisions without the interference
I of tho Legislature. I favor a four
-eqr term for the. Governor.rot sub-
jeetto reelection, and the creation of
the office of a Lieutenant-Governor
to be elected by the people for tho
purpose of presiding over the Senate
and succeeding the Governor in case
of his death or disability. I shall
continue to advocate tho creation of
a judicial council in order that court
procedure may be simplified, business
expedited and justice better adminis
tered.
Above all I stand for honesty in
government and personal courage to
do the right regardless of political
pressure or expediency. I ask your
vote and support in the Democratic
White Primary to bo held on Sep
tember 12tb.
Respectfully yours.
JOHN J. JONES.
