Strike—While the
Iron is Cold?
We have had a lot of talk about
whether or not strikes were causing
much havoc in the defense program,
but until recently we haven’t had very
much in the way of calm and authori¬
tative figures. Now the National As
aociation of Manufacturers has issued
Home statistics on defense and other
strikes that should sweep a number
of unsupported declarations into the
discard.
The N. A. M. study shows that, to¬
tal number of man-days lost from
strikes in the first three months of
this year were more than three times
as great as for the same period in
1940. In all, 3,022,918 man-days wen
lost in January, February and March
of this year; and of this total, 1,578,
000 man-days were directly in defense
industries.
The time lost in those industries
would have been enough to equip
about 1,402,480 American soldiers
with the latest Garand rifles, or to
provide more than five billion rounds
of ammunition for those rifles. Seen
in those terms—or in any others—the
harm done can hardly be minimized.
The great danger lies in the attitude
of some who continue to claim, in the
face of the evidence, that the number
or result of strikes in defense is really
not very important. The figures
knock that complacency galley-west.
Defense is either vital or it isn’t.
The American people think that it is,
and will be paying billions in taxes

4 nnua j § PS sions , of Georgia Legislature
Would He Expensive
By C. E. GREGORY, in The AlUnte Journal
-
Georgia will leave the company of
43 other states and join a rear guard
of four if the voters approve a return
to annual sessions of the Legislature
in the election June 3.
Most of the 44 states now holding
biennial sessions of the legislature
limit the solons to a shorter period
than Georgia does now.
The Georgia Constitution, mutilated
by about a thousand amendments,
provides for a 10-day organization
period and a 60-day regular session
of the Legislature every two years,
Most states limit the entire session
to 60 days. Oregon and
send law-makers home after 40 days.
Seven states give them more time
than Georgia, the range being from
75 to 130 days.
The four states that still have an
nual sessions are New York,i New
Jersey, Rhode Island and South Caro¬
lina. They also haVe larger debts
than Georgia, which might or might
not be traced to their legislatures
meeting too often. New York has a
public'debt of $490,172,000, New Jer¬
sey owes $76,222,000, Rhole Island has
debts of $26,770,000 and South Caro¬
lina’s obligations are $44,000,000.
Georgia’s bonded debt is now only
$3,000,000.
When the annual sessions resolution
was before the recent meeting of the
Georgia I/egisiature, the chief argu¬
ment made for it was that the Legis¬
lature ought to meet annually if the
governor i* elected for four years in¬
stead of two. A four-year term
amendment to the Constitution also
is to be voted on June 3.
What Sessions Cost
“It may become necessary to im¬
some future governor before
his four-year term is up,” proponents
annual sessions argued.
“The Legislature already has the
power to convene itself in extra ses¬
sion in an emergency like that,” op¬
ponents replied.
One item to be considered by Geor¬
gia voters in deciding whether annual
sessions are worth while, is the cost
of the Legislature to the taxpayers,
in addition to the retrenchment and
uneasiness in business circles when
the solons get their heads together.
There is a popular conception that
the Georgia Legislature costs $3,000
day, or approximately $200,000 for
regular 70-day session.
The taxpayers would be lucky if
they did get off with that figure.
has been a steady increase in
expenses since 1935, when
total cost was $208,152.40.
Tile 1935 regular session cost the'
$230,837.32 and the 1937
extra session cost $295,677.00. ,
Then came the all-time record with
legislative expenditure of $321,329.83
the regular session of 1939,1

support their belief. In the light
that stand, there is an all-import
need to work out solutions for ;
problems that arise without re- :

effort for national defense.

The cost of the 1939 session
was increased by the elaborate ad
of 33 proposed amendments
to the Constitution,
Minimum Is $200,000
President Charles D. Redwine, of
the State Senate, and Speaker Randall
p> a ns of the House of Itepresenta
tives, made honest and sincere efforts
to hold down the patronage costs at
the recent 1941 session of the Legis
lature, yet the State Treasury has
paid out $196,551.34 for that
session,
This figure does not anything like
cover the total cost of the 1941 ses¬
sion. Some members of the Legisla¬
ture have not yet drawn their per
diem and mileage. Printing and bind¬
ing of the journals and acts has not
been paid for. Nor has the advertis¬
ing of 69 proposed amendments to the
Constitution.
If the advertising of 33 constitu¬
tional amendments cost the state near¬
ly $100,000 in 1939, it will be inter¬
esting to see how much the advertis¬
ing of 69 similar amendments cost in
1941, with a change of governors.
The actual per diem of legislators
amounted to $183,533, and their mile¬
age was $26,628 in 1939, making a
total of $210,161. State Treasury of¬
ficials fix the lowest possible cost of
a 70-day legislative session in salaries
and per diem alone at $187,494.12.
The annual sessions amendment
would limit the Legislature to 50 days
instead of the present 70 days, hut
still the cost would approximate
$200,000, as it did when annual ses¬
sions were held before.
The people of Georgia must decide
on June 3 whether annual sessions are
worth an additional $100,000 per year
of their tax money.

DAIRY COWS OCCUPY
IMPORTANT PLACE IN
HEALTH OF FAMILIES
Good prices realized at recent cattle
sales in Athens indicate that people
!really appreciate the dairy cow. And
after all, they should, because the
i products of the dairy industry are a
mainstay in the welfare and defense
of the country.
Not only does the cow occupy an
important place in the died of fami
lies but also this animal provides milk
and other dairy products to keep the
nation’s soldiers in top condition,
order that they might be well-pre
pared for any emergency event.
In Georgia there are approximately
394,000 dairy cows worth some $14,-
500,000. Products from these cattle
each year are valued at $17,000,000 in
money and much more than that
amount when valued in terms of add
ed good health to Georgia families.
Although several thousand heifers
become milkers every year in Georgia,
Frank W. Fitch, dairyman for the
Agricultural Extension Service, points
out that some 60,000 farm families in
the state do not possess even one milk
cow and that Georgia’s consumption
of dairy products is somewhat lower
than that of the nation as a whole.
However, Mr. Fitch asserts that
some progress has been made in the
dairy industry during recent years.
For instance, since a decade ago, the
production per cow in Georgia has
increased 20 per cent, this fact being
equally due to better management
practices and improved breeding. Also
today there are many thousands of
farms which ten years ago did not
have a single cow, with one or more
cows.
The recent enormous increase jp
number of e soldiers i i; in Georgia army _____
camps has called for more niilk and
dairy products to sufficiently feed
these enlisted men, he said. This con
dition has created a shortage of dairy
products in many sections of Georgia
As a means of supplying this need
and also to provide more of these
products to the Civilian , population, .
Mr. Fitch declares that farmers would
do well to raise more heifers and in
many cases to start a small dairy
herd, from eight to ten COWS. At
least, the average farm family should
have two good cows to supply the
dairy products used in the home, he
said.
The extension dairyman said Geor
gia is a desirable place for dairying
and with more pastures and feeds
coming into use each year, dairy
COWS in this state will undoubtedly
‘
contribute . •» , greatly v to the health of
the people and will consequently pro
vide one of the best bulwarks of de
fense that this nation can possess in
time of peace or war for . , both the
civilians and the soldiers.
