Already the ‘‘elder statesmen” of
the U. S. Senate are begining to
discuss the make-up of committees
in anticipation of t%e assembling
of Congress in extrabrdibary ses
sion about March 20th next, With
the reorganization ¢f the Senate
accomplished, 1n so far as its offi-
cers are concerned, the Sergeant
’at-Arms, Secretary and Chaplain,
the Senate, through a committee
on committees, wil[ take up the
task of parcelling ont the desira
ble committee places to those who
have earned the chairmanships
through length of service in the
upper branch of the National
Legislature.
Serator Bacon, who is senior on
both the judiciary and foreign
affairs committees, has been elect=
ed to taze the chairmanship of
foreign affairs and will quit the
judiciary committee entirely, om
the ground that he will not be able
to give that very important com
mittee the time or the considera
tion it deserves, With Senator
Bacon at the head of foreign affairs,
Senator Culberton, of Texas, will
become the head of the judiciary
committee.

Interesting wtaiistics
of Georgia Roads
Atlanta, Ga., Dec, 23—The esti
mated increase in public road
mileage in Georgia during 1912
will soon be definitely known, and
will be of national interest because
of the fact that many other states
are watching the outcome of Geor
gia’s present convict svstem,
For 1911 it was estimated that
there was an increase of 1,704
miles of public roads in Georgia
over 1909, was an increase of
1,704 miles of public roads n
Georgia over 1909, and figures
will show that between 500 and
1,000 miles of new road have been
built during 1912.
Within the past three years very
rapid progress has been made in
road-building in Georgia, and the
new convict system is generally
accredited as being the cause. Of
the 146 counties of the state, 116
employ convicts; 30 use statute or
hire labor; the total number of
convicts employed is 4,744.
The workfdone for the state by
the convicts during 1911 is esti
mated at $1,623,200, and the esti
mate for 1912 will go over that
amount.
In comparing the total road
mileage of Georgia with the total
estimated road expenditures it
will be seen thai each mile of pub
lic road cost last year $49.15, or
$1.58 per inhabitant, based on the
census of 1910.
