Making a freight car do
a bigger day’s work
keeps rates down
Freight rates are much lower today
in comparison with the prices of goods
than before the war.
The large sums we have spent for im¬
provements enable us, with the loyal
cooperation of our employees, to haul
heavier trains, with a larger load per
car, and at a greater rate of speed.*
With the assistance of our shippers,
we have also reduced delays in load¬
ing and unloading our freight cars.
All of these things help us to reduce
our costs per unit of traffic, and this
greater efficiency directly benefits our
shippers through better service and
moderate rates.

Keep Highways Clean
(Atlanta Constitution)
On this page are a number of com¬
munications from women club lead
ers throughout the country protest¬
ing the alleged proposal of the Geor¬
gia Association of Commercial Sec¬
retaires to “placard highways of the
state with billboard advertising."
There is a concerted movement
throughout the United States, led by
the various state federations of wo¬
men’s clubs, to preserve the beauties
the highways and to conserve
safety and health, by the elimination,
aR nu j 8 of placards> advertising
kjnds an(] dinlen .
sions, and other crazy-quilt advertis¬
ing devices that clutter the road sides,
obstruct the views, collect unhealthy
and unsightly debris, add to forest
fire menaces, and do no real good, in
an advertising or any other sense.
There is much to be said in favor
of this movement, certainly in the
interest of keeping the highways at¬
tractive, as free as practicable of
hazards, caused frequently by ob
srtucted views, and in giving a whole¬
some atmosphere to the rural envi¬
ronments through which highways
travel.
A great many states in the union
have legislated against board adver
tising on the highways, and others
I regulate it as to size and kind of
I boards, location, restrictions, etc.
There has been a decided improve
ment in outdoor poster advertising as
controlled by the agencies that show
system and regularity in placing
boards. In cities and areas of con
jested population there is a place for
a billboard here and there, and the
character of the advertising on them,
as controlled by the agencies de¬
voted to that work, has been decided¬
ly stregthened in the last few years.
But in Atlanta today many of the
streets are littered with old, out- of
date advertising, posters and stickers
of candidates’ faces, etc., on electric
wire poles, fences, abandoned build¬
ings, old house tops and every other
conceivable way of seeking pubilcity
by making a horrible looking patch
work of the entire community, and
cheapening it, and lowering its com¬
munity standing. This should be im¬ I
mediately remedied.
Along the highways the effort
should be to beautify, plant shade
trees, grow turfs, open up vistas, and
otherwise make attractive every
changing scene. It should not be to
close-in, or obstruct and make repul
sive, by raggedness, of the highways’
abutting lands.
“Why so much crime?” asks the
Detroit X-wa. Well, without taking
time to thoroughly investigate, we
should hay it is because there are
so many criminals.—Omaha Bee.

Dougherty County's
Example
(Atlanta Journal)
Dougherty county's fiscal record
reflects good management as well as
good times. The tax rate has been re¬
duced to ten mills; four years ago it
was twelve. The returns show proper¬
ty values aggregating fifteen and
three-quarter million dollars, a sub¬
stantial increase for 1025. The com¬
missioners declare that they are op¬
erating on a “cash as we go” basis,
with money on ham! “to do consider¬
able going;’’ that they borrowed not
a penny last year, and will not this
year; that the only outstanding debt
is four hundred and fifty-eight thou¬
sand dollars in serial bonds, which
are being redeemed as they mature,
