SCRIBBLERS—
AND DOERS
I his country of our* has some funny ru'
toms, when you stop to think about it.
During (he last few years Americans
I icen. doing material things on a bigger
scale, probably than ever before in all his
tory. I he engineer, the builders, the organiz
er have reached heights never gained before.
Hand in hand with this, however has come
the rise of a determined spirit of criticism.
Never before ha\ e \v< ■ had s o many v oters of
reputation busily engaged in maintaining that
these material accomplishments o( ours are
things of no account whatever.
A word— Babbitt —has been invented.
Jt js applied freely to any and all business
men—to all men. in fact, except those who
think that making marks on paper is the chief
end of man and the noblest exercise of t he
human spurt,
Now all of this, we submit, is a tunny sort
of development. in an ear that is. prc-etii
inentlv an era in which tilings are being done,
wc arr indulging m an orj;y o f talking that
goes beyond anything in our nationa experi
cnee. We.are glorifying the writer—the talk
er, in other words, the man who says much
and docs little.
I o be sure, every nation needs self criti
cram. "But haven t we a hit of an over -supply >
is all of this mk slmging really necessary?
\ isit, some t.ay. a really large-scale con
struction job in some American city, f he ex
perience is worth, while, not only for its in
herent interest but because it puts you in
closer touch with the American spirit than a
whole five-foot shell of books
Below you is an excavation big enough to
hide the pyramids of Fgypt—gouged out, c.u
unlly enough, in a mouth's time. Above rises
an ^enormous mas IV masonry and steel, t
mote stupendous than any <> f the breath-tak
ing works of proud old Rome, Hung sky ward
hy a miraculous co mbihntion of human s kill
and mechanical ingenuity. Ihousands ot
tons ot steel and stone arc in place each piece
cut to shape and marked for its own pecu
liar spot beiore ever it lelt the factory or
rjuarry. I he sheer immensity of the job is
over -powering, breath-taking. >
Here you have action things dune that
will help to shape the conditions o f. life
millions of. men and women yet .inborn. It
•s all the work of Babbitt*—men who read
very little and writr not at all. And it hnp
pens that it is precisely this sort of Avork by
which ihc present age will he remembered.
Of course, it is easy enough for the scrib
bler to maintain that it is all futile. But it t*
hard to give the scribbler a very high rating
when you stand in front of the doer s finish
ed product.

Georgia farming. 1
Mr Haden is an extensive land
owner having property in many
sections of the state.
WORLD WAR WORK
During fhe World War Mr. Haden
gave much time to .public service. I
handled fig' the treasury de
partment the war savings campaign
foT , he Atlanta district. As a dol
a year'tmuVr under d friction of
the War department, he took part
in a-number of important matters
particularly those relating to the
purchase of. Camp Benntng, and in
an advisory capacity to the army
near Miami, Fla.
With the . beginning of the state
movement under the Act of 1919
creating the State Illiteracy Conv
mission, he served on its Board fo;
a considerable time as chairman,
and has taken an active part both,
as a worker and contributor, in
a ten years' mpalgn. to teach
adults to reMf and write (as the
Constitution of Georgia only allow® j
the public money to be used in!
teaching those front six to eigh
teen yea'-s*of age. inclusively) the
money :aiscd for the campaign whs
oy private subscriptions and vo!
unteer service; more than 100,000
adults were taught to 'read and
write in Georgia,
. Recently citizens before a large gather
ing of from the counties of
Jackson. Barrow, Gwinnett and
Hell counties n; the annual high
school rally at Braselton. Mr. Haden
outlined his views-on state affairs
in .substance as follows:
TAX-FREE FARMS
"Our present tax system was es
tabli lied when practically all pro
perty was .n land. Now the great
' probably invis
e«t earning power is
ible .because it is locked up in safe
deposit vaults. So far as State
taxes are concerned, farms should
be made tax-free and given a
chance to. recuperate The theory
3 ( taxation is that it should be paid
mainly by th best able to do so
and who arc nitur protected by the
government In Georgia we should
pay it chiefly on luxuries and large
Incomes. The nations of Europe
long ago . polished the land and afi
valorem system.
CENTURY OI.I) LAWS
"The counties and cities are. only
subdivisions of the State, and ove
them the legislature is sovereign
The State should better systematiz
the county government. The cour
tier. are operated under laws made
i nearly a century ago when count
expenses were nominal. Now. the
counties spend ntiout twice as much
in the: aggregate as does the State.
Under the ])rrsent system a coun
ty canrfet provide revenue for it
self beyond the current " If
year.
the law be followed, the county be
,
1 gj ns penniless on the first of
“ary, and has no iuccvw until the
I expiration ol eleven months arc
i twenty days, that is until Decent
b cr 20th In the meantime, it itu:s )
s operate in some way on credit, un
der a law that forbids it to
i except in dire emergencies. Peo
] pie who sell to, or serve the county
; must take warrants with the un
; certainties as to time of payment.
and if these warrants are sold
, must- be at a great discount. in
j charged order to break even, a county is
, more than private buyers
By reasons of ttiis deplorable svs
tem the counties in, Georgia musL
lose in the aggregate, around su
000,000 of more annually. By buy
ing for cash and in the mass for
the State-wide supply, enough could
be :aved every year to double the
public school appropriation.
TO SAVE S2,900,0(M)
"For example: Tht State ol Geor
gia Highway ComrnUlson and th
several cities and counties, conxumt
1 year lv about $15,000,000 in gasoltr.
and oil. This, bought under one
contract, in train-loads, proper!'
stored and redistributed, would
save at least $‘2.00Q,000 a year.
HOJIE MARKETS
1 he State could do more prac
tical thing*, just as California doe.'
to develop home markets and home
product <: and thus save to our istvi- i
, pie bctwcetT $50,000,900 and $100.-,
000,000 per year in wealth sen’ ■
i away from the State, We a!re lilep! '
Uance v hitc buying products from a dis
which we can produce cheaji
home than can the people in j j
distant states from which we now
buy them. I
"Most of our people confute j
stump-speaking, lor statesmanshin. -1
Bicnnialty we tisten to fertile prom
ises, ing followed by lor sterile I he performances two succeed-j ]
years
The ieuk.v ship of State drifts «cT*l froi
derelict, growing u little loss
worthy-each year. In the mean* .
time, California and Wisconsin tak'
away our home markets by selling |
us the food we eat. and we try to
fill the gap by new mortgages on I
the old homestead
"The State should pass some kind ]
of regulatory laws to restrict the
dangerous increase o' Installment
buying The government nvsf " i f
extreme joss cases guardian Its tho, ghl
people. For the family wcl
lare. the law forbids the wife to
become surety for her husband >
debts, and forbids the heed of the
Ihmlly from waiving the pony
homestead. It should go o step
further, and restrain the binding
of muscle and brain for years in ]
advance to buy imaginary wants.]
Kuch is Mcxiciau peonage b.v a sui
ter name. The Indians sold Man
hattan Island l now New York Ciiyi
for $24.00 to the Dutch, payable
mostly in red feathers! Many of
our extiianging people imitate the Indians by
the birthright of liber
ty for unnecessary trifles. Tit*
warning of Patrick Henry i* timely
now—We are apt to ahut our tyea
a painful truth,’ Quottng' >
further, as to Georgia, it should
said, let us know the whole
and provide for it.’
Once the South was the master
woHd cotton production, produc
ing nearly eighty percent of the
whole crop; we now produce bare
ly fifty per cenr. Foreign produc
tion is increasing by leaps and
bounds, Rayon menaces the cotton
market*. Our Georgia lands,
through erosion strength. and neglect are
losing their We are
i ndiiig millions to Germany arid
Chili for nitrates, while the air
around us is full of this, the great
es; of fert ilia .us. Vetch, crimshr.
clover, peas and other legumes take
these nitrates out of the air ana
put them in the soil; the relief is
asy, but we ignore the remedy.
This state should greatly strengthen
the Department of Agriculture
the State College of Agriculture,
that these may carry personally by
high pressure farm betterment *o
the farm door. This is the weakest
spot in our econmic defense line and
we should rush recruits to this see
tor. Let us stress less political plat
iturios jnd build up practical pros
perity
Schools, Hoads and Veterans
Mr. Haden has frequently expres
ed himself on the question of the
common schools, good roads a
Confederate veteran.-!. He believes
that the public schools of Georgia
should be supported to the fullest
measure possible and particularly
every economy should be practiced
■Lhat the savings might be added to
the school fund.
"PAY AS YOU GO”
Mr. Haden sums up his State
Highway beliefs "The work on good,
roads slrould go on endlessly, pa---'
ing as we go. To the main paved
reads there should be improved
lateral- roads bringing good service
to every neighborhood.
SACRED OBLIGATIONS
“The sacred obligations to the
few and aged veterans of the Wat
Between the States, should not and
I believe never will be overlooked
but better means for prompt pay
ment should be provided.”
