Strictly Caih in Ad vaneo tpER THURSDAY, MAY 8. 1941 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 l PleaAe -A -fix' CALL by NUMBER NOT by NAME * You want quick, accu¬ rate telephone service, and we want to give it to you; hut it is difficult to do so when persons make calls by name in¬ t stead of by number. In a city as large as this, the telephone op¬ erators cannot remem¬ ber the names and tele¬ phone numbers of sub¬ scribers. and if they stop to look up numbers for those who call by name, calls would pile up and service would be delay¬ ed generally. Your telephone direc¬ tory is the index to the switchboard. If you can¬ not find a certain num¬ ber in the directory, ask [. “Information.” r Won’t you help us give you the very best service?

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 former Governor E.

Traffic jams prevailed support their belief. In the light that stand, there is an all-import need to work out solutions for ; problems that arise without re- : to strikes that cripple our all effort for national defense. ‘S % \W C \e /r's yo' X NATCH EL S/DE YAS DRESSER SUH/ t 0 0 0 S ide dressing your row food element*, such as and hill crops with boron, iodine, calcium, Natural Chilean Nitrate manganese, magnesium of Soda is the ideal and many more. method of supplying For quick-acting nitrate, at over a century the exact time they farmers have preferred need it.

FOK’I VALLEY Ill (HUAI MAY 8, 1911 constantly around the benches and smoking rooms, 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.

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.
