Gosnell Talks
Of ‘County
Situation’
Dr. Cullen D. Gosnell of the soc
ial science department of Emory
University addressed the student
body and Carrollton visitors on the
subject “County Government” in
the West Georgia College auditor
ium Friday, November 18, at the
chapel hour. This was one of the
forum series planned to be given
at the college throughout the year.
Data On Counties Given
In discussion of the county gov
ernment situation in Georgia, Dr.
Gosnell revealed the following in
formation. Thse small counties
of Georgia get more money from
the state treasury than they put
into it thereby making the small
county a burden in dollars and
cents to the state. Examples cited
were Chattooga and Richmond
counties which received $20.00
from the state treasury in 1935 for
every SI.OO put in according to
figures gathered from the state
comptroller's office.
Continuing, Dr. Gosnell said that
the present size and number of
Georgia counties were made for
the ox-cart days and that modern
transportation and the growth of
population centers demanded coun
ty consolidation.

Commentator Views
Mexican Problems
Walter Paschall of the Atlanta
Journal’s radio news staff spoke
in the college auditorium Tuesday
evening, November 16, to an as
sembled group of college students
and city and county visitors in the
first of a series of public forums
that are to be held here during
the next few months. Mr. Pas
chall was thoroughly familiar with
his subject “Our Neighbor—Mex
ico” as he has traveled exten
sively in that country.
Oil Situation Viewed
In his address Mr. Paschall aired
the oil situation in Mexico from
both the side of the oil interests
and the Mexican government. He
gave the background of Mexico
as reason of the Mexican view and
the invested capital as the reason
for the attitude taken by Ameri
can, British, and German oil mag
nates. This controversy is raging
over the action taken by the
Mexican government in the last
few years in consficating foreign
land and ruling that mineral
rights of Mexican property owned
by foreigners belonged to the
Mexican government.
Mexican Life Disclosed
Mr. Paschall then acquainted
those present with the customs,
scenery, and the mode of every
day life of Mexico as seen by him
in his tours of that country.
After the discussion by Mr.
Paschall questions were asked him
concerning phases of Mexican life
and government by the audience.
