t TRIBUTE To WOMANHOOD Mother’s Day being observed in • Butler Sunday the following trib- t0 womanhood is appropriate at •his time. This tribute was given on the floor f the U S- House of Representatives twenty years ago by Simeon D.

It Masker heart that warmly loved, and 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. Woman, God's noblest creation, man’s better counterpart, humanity's Perennial hope, the world’s object most to be admired and loved! The past has not 'been kind to her. Much °f the world’s woe is recorded in tier prayers and her tears; much of humanity’s burdens has been borne on her frail shoulders; much of his- tofy’s tragedies, which we all would fain forget, are written in the ago nies of womankind throughout the world. but a better day has dawned. She j'ho was first to reach and last to leave the sepulcher of Him who brought a new life has generations a S° come into a new inheritance step by step until today she marches by the side of her brother almost his ^lual in the rivalry of life. America, the first great republic, the most Powerful representative democracy “f all history, is now about to de cide whether by our organic law, the constitution, we shall remove the jast barrier which denies her equal- *y with her brother. From what- ever angle the issue may be viewed, buty, as I seet it, is clear. I will not assume a superior intelligence °' er her who has in a thousand ways Proved my equal. I will not, simply because I have the power, withhold rom her a right which she can claim with equal force that I may monopolize it. I will not deny her a Privilege which I demand for myself, fmii not refuse her entrance to a d °f duty, in which her abilities Peculiarly qualify her to exert an ’er-wdening influence against preva lent evils and on behalf of the good 11 humanity.

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- CTurn to Page 8; No. 1) DR. LEWIS R. DEAN 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.
