Hardest Part of ThriftJs
Found in Laying Aside
That First Dollar
By S. W. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift.
It is worthy of note that in the
experiences of thrifty men and wo
men the herdest dollar to save is
the first one. And with each suc
ceeding dollar laid away there is less
of hardship and more of joy in the
experience.
Those who have this experience
realize that at last they are on the
high road to success. They have
learned the happiness that comes with
earned possessions.
Persons who are leading thriftless
lives today should bear these thoughts
in mind. To deny one’s self certain
pleasures and indulgences is not an
inviting prospect to them. They feel
that they should get the maximum
amount of pleasure out of life from
day to day, and the thought of
knuckling down to a more prosaic
existence does not appeal to them.
To save the first dollar, therefore,
is to them a task requiring much
moral courage. But the second dol
lar is laid away with a slightly less
sacrificial feeling. By the time the
first hundred has made its appear
ance, the practice of thrift has be
come something of a fixed habit and
as they go on accumulating more
and more, the joy of possession in
creases.
Each of us has his duties to so
ciety, to the members of his family
and to his friends; but duty to one’s
self is none the less important, and
the fullfillment of it is just as com
mendable.
Do not refrain from the practices
of thrift because you feel that it will
mean hardship and privation. The
first few steps may be difficult. But
after that it becomes the greatest
dividend payer in happiness and peace
of mind that can be found.
Make up your mind to save no
matter how small the amounts must
be.
After the processes of accumula
tion have actually begun you will
find yourself forever through with
the old slipshod ways and spend
thrift habits.

DEPENDABILITY
WHEN the power company
which has been serving
you became a part of the
Georgia Power Company, it was more
than a change in name. Instead of
small, isolated generating plants such
as those on which you have had to
depend for electrical service, the Geor
gia Power Company offers all of its
generating facilities —its huge hydro
electric generating plants in the moun
tains of North Georgia and on the
Chattahoochee river, its steam elec
tric generating stations. As soon as the
necessary facilities can be constructed,
this greater and more dependable
power service will be yours to com
mand.
Further insurance of a dependable,
adequate power supply is given
through the interconnection of the
Georgia Power Company’s transmis
sion lines with those of the large gen
erating companies of neighboring
states, making available to every cus
tomer on our lines the electric gen
erating resources of all these states.
Through these interconnections and
the Company’s network of transmis
sion lines here in Georgia, all of these
resources are at your service. The
smallest town on our lines draws on
the same great plants, receives the
same dependable service as the larg
est city.

Railroads’ Ability to Spend Depends
On Ability to Earn
The public expects the railroads to help maintain
general business. During the first three months of 1930,
the capital expenditures by the railroads of the country
for new equipment and additions and betterments to
railway property totalled $223,772,000. This was $96,-
653,000 above expenditures for like purposes during the
same period of 1929.
The railroads spent $45,225,000 more for roadway
and structures, and $51,428,000 more for equipment in
the first quarter of this year than in the first quarter
of last year.
The railroads, asked by the President of the
United States to help revive general business by not cur
tailing capital expenditures, promised their co-operation
last December, and have more than fulfilled their
pledge.
However, the ability of the railroads to finance
such expenditures and to continue programs of im
provement in future must always be determined by the
public. If the railroads are treated on the basis of
sound economic principles, if they are permitted to earn
a fair return on their investment, if they are not over
taxed, if there is no discrimination against them and in
favor of competing forms of transportation, they can
move forward with greater usefulness to the public.
The public knows the benefits of good railway serv
ice to agriculture, industry and commerce. It knows the
disadvantages that would follow impaired railway
service. For its own sake the public should give thought
to patronage of the railroads and to policies of govern
mental agencies regulating them.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
