An Impossible Remedy
In deciding as to who is the ablest
and best man, laying all sentiment
and prejudice aside, for Governor* of
Georgia, a question all voters must
decide, each for himself, the following
editorial from the Macon Telegraph
ought to be of great assistance in that
direction:
"In an address before the Atlanta
Motor club on Friday, John N. Holder
denounced the Carswell plan of tem
porarily diverting the $5,000,000 li
cense tag tax to pay the state deficit
and declared that with only $9,000,000
left, the entire road program of the
state would be disrupted and the mile
age of improvement for that year'cut
down from 400 miles to 125 miles.
"It comes readily to mind to retort
that with $100,000,000 Mr. Holder
bungled the job of highway improve
ment. More to the point is the fact
that the highway department was re
ceiving but little more than $9,000,000
a year at a time when the chairman
of the highway board, 'changing his
weather-cock mind from his original
opinion, declared that the funds
ceived from the automobile tag tax
and gasoline tax were quite sufficient
to develop the entire highway system
of Georgia at a rapid rate without a
bond issue.
“Nobody really believes that the
highway program would be seriously
disturbed by the diversion of $5*000,-

SLATON LOBBYING FOR INTERESTS
When Senator, Harris was a
member of the State Senate, he was
the author of the measure statute
prohibiting lobbying, that law re
quiring every individual going be
fore the Legislature or committee
members thereof to register. Mr.
Slaton repeatedly appeared before
Committees of the House and Sen
ate, speaking vehemently against
measures and bringing the power
and influence of himself and his
wealthy connections against many
proposed acts, providing means for
carrying on state institutions, the
payment ot pensions to Confederate
soldiers and salaries of teachers In
the common schools.
Witness tho humiliating specta
cle today of Georgia listening to
the pitiful appeals of these heroes
begging for the pittance ot their
little pensions before they die. Who
can regard without shame the brave
men and worfien who have taught
the great youth of tills state, their
salaries now past duo, running Into
millions, and the State Insane and
Blind aiid other wards, without
means to maintain these humane
institutions? Yet, Mr. Slaton fought,
spoke and brought to bear every
influence he possibly could to de
feat every measure providing
meanB for these purposes.
In ills speech last Saturday he
admitted that he had "appeaved”
before some committees of the
House and Senate, hut he failed to
state that ho never registered or
let it become known that lie was
a lobbyist working for the big
interests and protecting wealthy
estates like his own family inter

deny the well-known fact that not
once hut many times he haa ap
peared to defeat measures for the
common people of Georgia, using
what ability he has to take care
of his pet Interests ijp legislation
