her hand that gently chided the wgy-
" rd child throughout the years ol
"ler teens. It was her mother love
that was trasfused into a nobility of
character that proved a safe an
chorage in the hour of temptatiorf.
It was her steadying hand that led
the youth step by step through the
‘settled and unsettling period of
adolescence, when, if ever, wise
council should prevail. It was the
memory of her pleading which won
the pledge of devotion that stayed
the impulse of passion and appetite
when absent from home and home
like environent. It was her voice of
admonition to which response was
open the call of country was first
heard' her heroic sacrifice which
buoyed up hope when the command
to advance was given; her tender
touch which smoothed the fevered
brow when the agonies of war filled
the earth with the dying and ^he
dead; and her mother heart wu .
suffered greatest agony when war’s
ravages submerged humanity in its
own blood. It was she wTiO clung to
the faith that wars will cease, and a
better way in the Providence of God
must be found.
To her we owe the uplifting and
refining influences of our race. To
her we are in debt for a higher
standard of life, both individual and
social, as well as politicallTo her our
churches point to a deeper faith in
the things spiritual. To her our
schools go for the keenest devotion
to the training of childhood, for a
stronger womanhood, and a sweeter
womanhood. To her our institutions
must look for a firmer grip upon
the humanities. On her we must de
pend for a better state in our politi
cal life.
As wife and mother she will al
ways 'be the queen of the home. As a
power of personality she will ever be
the guiding influence in our schools.
As a spiritual force she will continue
to be the chief reliance of the church.
As a member of society she will be
come more and. more the determin
ing factor in the betterments of
social and industrial conditions. As
a citizen she will exert an abiding
and a salutary influence upon the
political life of a people.
Her nature readily responds to the
humanitarian calls of the times.
Wat the masculine character refuses
to heed, she more sensitive to duty,
will answer with less hesitancy and
without becoming any less a woman.
No man, no woman, ever lowered a
standard by performing a duty.

Atlanta, May 6—Hugh Howell,
candidate for governor, asserted Fri
day night “the whole structure of
our schools, of our health and of
every governmental function is in
danger of being completely destroyed
by the tremendous increase in over
head and the increased burden ol
taxes now on our people.’’
Speaking over radio station WSB,
Howell, former chairman of the
state democratic executive commit
tee, charged “new taxes are strang
ling business.”
Howell said total expenditures of
the state government four years ago
amounted to “little more than $23,-
000,000.” This year, he said, accord
ing to figures of the state auditor “if
we continue for the next two months
l'ike we have for he past ten, the to
tal expenses will amount to more
than $47,500,000.”
He rapped salaries paid in the
state department of public welfare
I and added, “No wonder there is a
steady stream of old people march
ing to the court house, the state
capdtol and the Hurt building and
coming away in tears and empty
handed because there is no money
left to match the .federal funds for
payment of old age pensions.”
Howell asserted there are “millions
of dollars unaccounted for” by the
state audit, "except for the enor
mous army of employes which have
been put on the state payroll and the
tremendous overhead of offices scat
tered thru the city of Atlanta.
"This additional tax money is be
ing spent to pay and equip this army
of newly-appointed job holders to
ride over the state in order to help
perpetuate this wild extravagant ad
ministration in office for another
two years.
Howell said he wished to empha
size he stood for “elimination of the
enormous overhead, high salaries
and expenses of state government; l
stand for the payment of pensions to
our needy old people while they are
living! I stand for the integrity of
the local county governments, and 1
stand for the county unit plan 1 of
government of our state.”
Referring to the $47,500,000 which
he asserted will likely be spent in
this fiscal year, Howell said ">*
would cost the taxpayers of the
state of Georgia to run • L he state
government this year, 1,200,000 bales
of cotton.
“To put it another way, each
month the present state administru-
ion has been in power this year, it
has cost the taxpayers the equivalent
of approximately 100,000 bales of
cotton, which means that every timo
the sun has set on a working day in
Georgia this year, the taxpayers of
Georgia are called upon to pay the
equivalent of 3,338 bales o.f cotton to
run the present extravagant state
government.”
He said the people paid $7,000,000
more to the treasury in taxes than
they paid' for the first 10 months of
i last year.
“And do you know that this $7,000-

ASKS HEALTH DEPT.
TO STERILIZE BOOKS
Would Cost Little But Would Mean
Much in the Prevention of
Diseases
The sterilization of text books now
being used in public schools of eor-
gia is being urged by Lit. T.swit
Dean, who has devoted many years to
matters of health both in large and
small communities.
The cost of putting into operation
a system of serilization of all used
books would be relatively small to
the state in comparison to the
amount saved in the spread of con- stamps
tagious disease as these books are
known to be germ-carriers producing
possibly diseases of every nature
and a death toll that cannot be es
timated.

Health, is as follows:
