Secretary of State
Warns Corporations
To Register With Him
Atlanta, Ga. July 19—(GPS) Cor
porations doing business in Georgia
whether they be foreign or domestic,
have been warned to register with the
office of the Secretary of State, it is
announced by Secretary John B. Wil
son. The only exception is banks,
which are supervised by the State
Banking Department.
Secretary Wilson said that the
measure is not designed to raise re
venue but is for the purpose of having
on record certain information on cor
porations that is valuable to the gen
eral public.
"I wish to w r arn every corporation
that is delinquent with its registrat
ion that the law provides for an as
sessment of $50.00 upon failure to
register as by law”, he said.
The penalty is not. assessed. Secre
tary Wilson explained, except ‘when
delinquents continue to refuse to re
gister and failure to pay the assess
ment promptly may cause prosecut
ion. The registration fee, it is stated,
is small.
HENSON URGES CO
OPERATION WITH
LOCAL SERVICE
MEN
ADVISES VETERANS TO Fl4-E HIS
CLAIM WITH LOCAL SERVICE
OFFICIALS.
A complete standstill in the busi
ness of the central office of the Geor
gia Veterans Office will result unless
Georgia veterans cooperate by stay
ing at home and filing claims w r ith
local service officials, Capt. A. L.
Henson, director, said today.
“We have more than 16,000 cases
to adjust in this office, “Captain Hen
son stated.” and we have been swamp
ed with personal calls from men who
are anxious to have their claims set
tled. We are doing all we can to bring
about speedy adjustment of these
claims, but there are only three peo
ple to handle them and we cannot
work with hundreds of men crowding
the offices for personal interviews.
Naturally, I like to see as many as
possible, but a trip to Atlanta to see
about a case will only delay an indi
vidual case as well as many others.
There are lj/ore than 400 service
officers from the American Legion,
the Spanish War camps, the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and the Red Cross
organization who are fully competent
to handle the preliminary filing of
claims, Captain Henson said. There
are dozens of officers in each congres
sional district. These men have been
trained by correspondence courses in
the new regulations and are thorough
ly trained to route a claim along the
proper official course.
Captain Henson also announced
that secretaries of Georgia congress
men will attend the Service School
to be held July 30th at the Hotel
Dempsey in Macon at which time an
all day course will be given in the
correct handling of veterans claims.
“This will enable the handling of
many claims in the congressional of
fices," Henson said.
A plant has been established in
Hawaii for the production of citric
acid and citrate of lime from pine
apples.

ILLINOIS JUDGE
ENDS DIVERSION
Chicago, July 19—Gasoline tax re
venues in Illinois can be used only
for road improvements, according to
a permanent injunction against diver
sion recently granted by Circuit Judge
L. E. Stone of Sangamon County.
Despite wide public protest, gas tax
funds were being used by many Illi
nois counties for unemployment re
lief. The decision holding diversion
unconstitutional, it is believed, will
now place the financing of a total of
$33,000,000 in bond issues on property
owners in several counties where un
employment relief bonrs were issued
against gas tax money.
This is the second decision which
outlaws diversion of gasoline taxes.
In Minnesota, the attorney general
recently ruled that gas tax allotments
to counties cannot be diverted. He
stated, “They shall be used only for
construction, improvement and main
tenance of county aid roads.” Minn
esota counties may not borrow from
gas tax funds for other governmental
purposes.
The ruling against diversion in 111-
nois will greatly accelerate roadbuild
j ing, is the general opinion of county
and state officials and road builders.
Under diversion legislation in Illnois
it was possible for the counties to use
some $125,000,000 for unemployment
relief bond issues spread over a 20-
year period. But now that diversion
has been stopped, the roadbuilding
program and road users will be bene
fitted by that sum of money.
The gasoline tax was created as •
“road toll”, when it was adopted first
by Oregon in 1919 The tax spread
rapidly and within a few years all
states used such income for building
sorely needed traffic facilities. But
with the coming depression, when in
comes from general tax sources fell,
state legislatures, without consulting
the public, dipped into road funds
| and used them for all government
I purposes, including schools, hospitals
pensions and election funds.
One of the greatest complaints
against diversion of road funds has
been the creation of additional un
employment. Illinois road builders
point out that the $33,000,000 alone
saved for roads will provide jobs for
some 50,000 men.
YOUR DOG AND
YOUR DUTY
Inoculation May Save Lives.
Two small terriers, suffering from
rabies, have bitten sixteen persons in
Atlanta this week. They are being
treated at Grady Hospital and pro
bably will recover, but for weeks they
and their friends and relatives will
live in dreadful uncertainty.
The law requires that ail dogs shall
he inoculated annually against rabies.
If the law had been obeyed by the
owners of these terriers, these sixteen
persons would not now be suffers
from this dreaded malady.
The law, however, has been merely
a series of words printed in the city
code. Comparatively few dog owners
have paid it any attention; inocula
tion costs a small fee. and it is incon
venient for the dog owner. It has been
just another of the laws inadequately
enforced.
It is a fine thing to own a dog, if
you have the proper place in which j
to keep him. But duty to one’s own
family land general public det
mandq flhat precautions lie
taken against the dog’s “going mad”
and killing someone.
Inoculation has been proved an ef
fective precaution against rabies.
It would be horrible to know that
because you have neglected this pre
caution some friend and neighbor is
a victim of , rabies—and in possible
danger of death.
Have your dog inoculated today.
Call the City Health Department, or
any veterinarian.

SEYMOUR IS GIVEN
HIS OLD JOB BACK
AS ROAD ENGINEER
Atlanta. Ga—E. N. Seymour, office
engineer of the State Highway Depart
merit, and one of the five engineers
removed by Governor Talmadge '’for
extravagance and inefficieny”, has
been restored to his former position
| in the department, it is disclosed here.
Seymour was removed by the gov
ernor when he took charge of the
Highway Department under martial
law and was marched out of the build
ing with Chairman J. W. Barnett;
F. P. McWhorter, state highway eng;
neer; S. B. Slack, state bridge engi
neer, and L. B. Ackerman. Jr., bitum
inous engineer. H. J. Friedman, div
ision engineer at Waycross, was the
fifth engineer removed by the gover
nor.
Mr. Seymour, as office engineer,
has approved the estimates and in
dorsed the checks sent to Georgia by
the U. S. Bureau of Good Roads, and
it was understoood that he was re
stored to his position in an effort to
meet requirements of /he govern •
ment that have delayed the payment
of $10,000,000 in federal aid funds to
thir state.
At present Commissioner Jud P.
Wilhoit is conducting the affairs of
ifhe Highway Department and tne
other board members, Chairman J. W.
Barnett and Commissioner W. C. Ve
reen are fighting for their jobs in
Federal Court. Governor Tain V'dgG
declined to comment on the reemploy
ment of Engineer Seymour.
Federal Government
Will Punish Profiteers.
The Federal Government has been
active in its efforts to increase the
prices paid for raw material, such as
cotton, wheat, end the like, to raise
the income ot farmers to a profitable
basis, which would increase their pur
; chasing power, and help bring back
I pvs>perity to our industries by pro
viding for the consumption of their
products.
One of the steps being taken is the
levying of a processing fee of thirty
cents a bushel upon wheat. The De
partment of Justice announces that
it will investigate closely all bakeries
which unduly raise prices for bread.
While the increase in the price of
wheat will increase the cost of bread
somewhat the government does not
intend that this small increased cost
shall be the excuse for charging the
consumer four or five times that
amount additional so that the bakers
can make more profits.
America is engaged in a vital strug
gle with the forces of depression. It
is, as has been declared, a struggle
just as important as if this country
was at war. It is not a time for trait
ors or profiteers. Every citizen should
cooperate with the plans of the Gov
ernment in an effort to bring hack
to the country normal conditions so
that ail of our citizens can live rea
sonably and comfortably. Any man,
farmer, manufacturer, or merchant,
who seeks to take advantage of the
present conditions and unduly enrich
himself is unsocial and a menace to
the return of prosperity.

Government Holds Up
$10,000,000 In Spite
of Underwood Ruling
Atlanta, Ga., July 19, (GPS) Feder
al road officials in Washington, D. C.,
continue to mark time with respect
to their attitude toward the Georgia
controversy over the Highway Com
mission, according to news received
here.
The attitude is that the Bureau of
Public Roads officials must be satis
fied there is “a legal and competent
State Highway Commission in Geor
gia” before any further federal funds
are given to Georgia. It remains un
changed by Federal Judge Under
wood's dismissal of the suit of Cap
tain J. W. Barnett and his associates.
It is understood that they regard the
dismissal as having been on a tech
nicality.
The suit was thrown out on the
ground that Attorney General Yeo
mans had the sole right to represent
state officers and departments. The
Commissioner had filed this action
as "the State Highway Board” hut a
new suit was brought by them as in
dividuals.
The second suit is based on anew
point entirely. The federal h / hway
funds are not mentioned, but the Fed
eral Court is asked to restrain the
defendants—the Governor, hisfefacto
high ■ ay agent, Commissioner Wilhoit
and Adjutant General Camp from us
ing their military forces to prevent
(he serving of civil processes in the
state courts and to pursue further the,
martial law proclamation which states
that all litigation relating to the High
way Department shall he tried in
military courts.
The petition declares that Commis
sioners Barnett and Vereen were de
prived of their salaries and offices by
force, arbitrarily and “without due
process of law", in violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the l nited
State Constitution.
The Court is asked to compel the
Governor and the other defendants to
respect, the processes of the state
courts, which the petition recites,
they have ignored since martial law
was put into effect.
Regardless of court suits, pending
or dismissed, the federal officials, ac
cording to reports from Washington,
will await submittal of the controver
sy to them for determination of
whfether there exists a legal and
competent Staje Highway f ommis
sion in Georgia before they release
further funds to the state.

Governor Talmadge today was criti
cized at a meeting of the Georgia

wages.
The reason there is so much illit

SI.OO PER YEAR
VETERAN DRIVER
GIVES TIPS ON
SAFE TOURING
GOODYEAR TEST CAR PILOT WITH
A MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND MILE RECORD
SHOWS TWELVE WAYS TO
AVOID TROUBLE
With the arrival of vacation sea
noil, the curve of automobile travel
and gasoline consumption has started
a steady climb.
More drivers will be on the road
and there are likely to be more traf
fic accidents but motorists can es
cape many mishaps if they follow the
suggestions of .1, H. Greenleaf, veter
an test rear driver for the Goodyear
Tire' & Rubber Cos., who, during the
past 15 years, has driven more Ilia*.
1,500,000 miles. Driver of one of the
fleet of cars on which Goodyear tires
are tested, Greenleaf has operate a
car under every possible condition
and has probably encountered as
many difficult situations on the mad
as any driver in the world.
‘‘Good brakes, properly adjusted,
are the most important part of an
automobile from a safety standpoint,”'
Greenleaf declared. “Mechanically
speaking, good treads on tires come
next, but the most danger in traveling
is caused by the human element.
“Every driver should indicate his
intention of making a turn at least
100 feet before turning, as omission
of this simple precaution cause
accidents. More accidents, I believe,
are caused by passing other cars on
curves or near the tops of hills than
front any other cause. Many accidents
also result from drivers not getting
enough rest and falling asleep at the
steering wheel,” he concluded.
Rased on his years of experience.
Greenleaf has formulated the follow
ing "rules for driving" which he fol
lows religiously and which he recom
mends to motorists everywhere:
1 Have good brakes at all times.
2 Signal ‘ntention of making aj
turn 100 feet before making.
3 Xever pass a car on a curve or
near the top of a hill.
4 stay on inside of center line on
curves and hills.
s—Be alert at Intersections. Slow
up even if you have the right-of way.
6 When approaching car has blind
ing lights, slow up and hug your side
of road.
7 Allow yourself freedom of move
ment. It is taking a chance to drive
with four in the front seat.
B—See that your tires have treads
that will grip the road should yon
have to stop quickly or drive on weL
slippery pavements.
g Never jam on brakes as one may
lock and cause your car to tnm over.
10 Get a good sleep before starting
on a long drive. If you get "dopey”
or sleepy while driving, stop and rest,
if only 15 minutes.
11 Always give the other fellow
the benefit of the doubt.
12—To make good time drive stead
ily and not too fast.
