CAPITAL BILL TIKES
OFF HOUSE CALENDAR
FOB PBKENT SESSION
After Test Vote Showed Bill
Had No Chance to Pass,
Rules Committee Removes
It From Consideration
The capital removal bill has been
taken off of the house calendar by the
rules committee ana did not come up at
the mornins session. Unless the rules
committee puts the bill back on the cal
endar. which does not seem likely, the
.bill Is dead for the present session.
In view of the fact that the advo
cates of the bill could only muster 86 j
votes to prevent Its being tabled Friday,'
when 126 votes are needed for its pass
age. it is not believed that any protest
will be made over the bill having been
taken from the calendar. Its certain
defeat, had a vote been taken, seemed
to have been foreshadowed by the vote
Friday.
The rules committee has complete
charge of the house calendar during the
remainder of the session, and the bill
cannot be taken up unless the commit
tee gives It a place on the calendar.
Judge Saffold Will
Probably Take Stump in
Behalf of Joe Pottle
Judge F. H. Saffold. of Swainsboro,
arrived In Atlanta Friday to join the
forces of the campaign headquarters
of Joe Pottle, of Milledgeville, candi
date for governor of Georgia.
Judge Saffold. aside from assisting i
at headquarters, will probably take the
stump for Mr. Pottle in several coun
ties. He is one of the most prominent
attorneys in south Georgia and a
forceful and magnetic speaker.
Judge Saffold and Mr. Pottle have
been friends since boyhood, and since
the former solicitor of the Ocmulgee
judicial circuit announced for governor.
Judge Saffold has been one of his warm
est supporters. He is enthusiastic over
the receptions accorded Mr. Pottle ev
erywhere he -has appeared and at the
progress of his campaign.
PROTECT STITE ROAD.
SAYS DR.LGJIABDMAN
Farmer-Business Man Candi
date on Strong Platform—
Is Gaining Strength
Dr. L. G. Hardman, the farmer-busi
ness man candidate for governor, is wag
ing a winning campaign, and according
to present indications he will surely be
Georgia's next governor.
The reasons for Dr Hardman's popu
larity are not far to seek. Considered
probably Georgia's best farmer, distin
guished by eminent succeas in all his
own farming and business undertakings,
and by a career of public service noted I
for its promotion of the Interests of
farming and thoughtful people of the
state, who are rallying to his cause
with ever-increasing enthusiasm and
zeal.
Dr. . Hardman stands, among other
things, for law enforcement; increased
educational oportunities; development of
farming interests; complete separation
of church and state; abolishment of the
fee system for solicitors general; and in
stitution to care for the maimed, halt, j
and deformed children of the state; the •
protection of she state railroad, and its
re-lease, instead of sale, on advantageous
terms, with a view to its ultimate exten
sion to the sea, to be double tracked,
when necessary, by the lessee, without
cost to the state; biennial sessions of the
legislature, and a strict business admin
istration of the state’s affairs.
Two years ago Dr. Hardman carried
sixty counties and barely missed twen
ty others, and as he is stronger by far
now than he was then, his nomination :
on the first ballot this year is being con
•ftently predicted.—(Advt.)

JOKE HIGHWM BILL
PASSED BI SENATE
House Measure With Slight
Amendment Enlarging Com
mission Adopted
The same highway commission bill
which passed the house recently and
which was characterized at that time
as *'a zero with the rim rubbed off," so
woefully lacking it was in any provi
sions that created a highway oom
mission worthy of the name, was passed
by the senate Frluay morning by vote
of 36 to 3.
The bill was unaltered in any par
ticular except for an amendment by
Senator Stovall, of the Thirtieth. This
amendment enlarges the personnel of
tne commission, including besides the
state prison commission, the state geolo
gist. tr>e dean of the college of civil en
gineering at the University of Georgia,
and the professor of highway engineer-
I ti.g at the Georgia School of Tecb
, nology. •
This amendment was adopted. Other
wise. the bill is the same as that pass
ed oy the house, containing no substan
tial provisions whatever and simply
conferring on the prison commission
and the three others the empty title
of “state highway department."
Under It, so say lawyers who have
closely examined it and the provisions
of the act of congress, the state will
not get its share of the federal appro
priation for good roads, an • appropria
tion which amounts to about $2,000,000.
Before passing this bill, the senate
killed two substitute measures which
were far more constructive. One was
the substitute of Senator Persons, of
the Twenty-second, which was defeated
by vote or 22 to 12. The other was
the substitute of Senator Stovall, of the
Thirtieth, which was defeated by vote
of 21 to 14.

Power of Women in
Politics Doubled Since
Last Presidential Race
WASHINGTON, Aug. It.—Woman's
political power has more than doubled
since the last presidential election and
4.000,000 women of the United States are
eligible to cast ballots for presidential
candidates, according to leaders of the
National Women's party, which will hold
a conference at Colorado Springs this
( week.
In 1912 there were only six suffrage
states, w.ith about 2,001,000 women qual
ified to vote. These six states elected
only 37 members of the electoral college
Today there are 12 suffrage states,
controling 91 electoral votes. The fact
that these States control one-fifth of tne
electoral college, and cast one-third of
the vote necessary to elect a president,
gives women voters the power to de
termine the election of the next presi
dent.
Among the noted suffragists who will
attend the Colorado conference are Miss
Anne Martin, of Reno, Nev.; Miss Maud
: Younger, of California, secretary of the!
National Advisory council of the con
gressional union; jars. William Kent, of
California. member of the national exe
cutive committee of the congressional
union; Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles, of
j Delaware, chaiman of the Delaware
; branch of the congressional union, and

BETTER FARMING Ji
CHEAPER FOOD RESULT
OF FEDERAL LOAN JOT
“Rural Credits” Places Farm
ers in Position to Borrow
Money on Easier Terms
Through Mortgages
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—For the first
time in our history the federal govern
ment has enacted a law for the purpose
of promoting the financing of the farm
ers. That law is now In effect. It is
called the federal farm loan act, and Is
the result of long agitation and for the
reform called by writers and speakers
"rural credits.”
The federal farm loan act deals with
the matter of putting farmers all over
the United States in position to borrow
money on easier terms when secu?Sd by
mortgages on their farms. It does not
deal with the business of loaning farm
ers money on their unsecured promis
sory notes, or on notes secured by
chattel mortgages. Congress felt that
this should be a later development.
The federal farm loan act is simple in
principle and in purposes. The govern
ment and the law's framers hope to put
the business of farming on a more busi
ness-like basis, to the end that this na
tion shall have more farming, and better
farming and therefore more food, better
food, cheaper food, while the farmer
himself shall at the same time find his
business more profitable. There are no
opopsites In this statement. Both prop
ositions are entirely feasible.
The problem before the framers of tht
bill was to draw a law which would
work In America. The obstacles to a law
exactly like that of Germany, France or
Italy are partly legal and partly In the
fact that farmers in this country are not
situated economically or socially like
those of Europe. The bill was drawn
with an eye to the benefit of the farmers,
and with no other purpose. Once in a
while any knowledge, not even the fed
eral reserve act, was ever labored over
more unremittingly, more painstakingly.
Two commissions went to Europe to
study the question before any bill was
drawn. The people of the United States
may have a good or a bad rural credit
act; but it is certain that it was honest
ly drawn, after long study on the par of
hundreds of able men, and when finally
passed was as good a bill as hones pur
pose, great study and ability could make
it. It is probably imperfect, however,
and will need amendment.
Under the federal farm loan act mort
gages will not be held by Individuals at
all. There will be twelve federal land
banks, situated in different parts of the
country a good deal as the federal re
serve banks are situated, and each of
these federal land banks will hold all
tho mortgages issued in its one-twelfth
of Urn .United States. Each federal land
bank will issue land bonds secured by
the mortgages it holds. These land
bonds will be in different denomina
tions, some as low as $25, so that any
person with savings amounting to that
sum or more may Invest in land bonds
without having to wait until he can buy
a whole mortgage.
These land bonds will be safe. They
will not be taxable. They will be secur
ed in three ways. First, by the indorse
ment of the federal land bank which
issues them, handling one-twelfth of the
United States. Second, by all the other
eleven federal land banks. Third, by the
national farm loan association which is
sues them In *the first place, and which
is a co-operative organization of borrow
ing farmers in the vicinity of the land
mortgaged. Fourth, by the land mort
gaged, which .must be worth at Jeast
twice as much as the face of the mort
gage, according to the appraisement of
the loan committee of the association
and a government appraiser.
The guarantee of the local loan as
sociation is backed by a 5 per cent guar
anty fund. One loan out of 20 might
be a loss before this guaranty fund
would be used up. Altogether, it look?
as If the land bonds would be consider
ed as good as government bonds—but,
of course, the government Ices not
guarantee them. The government, how
ever, does subscribe the stock of the
federal land banks —the 12 I mentioned
—provided that private capital does not
take the stock. They have $750,000 cap
ital each.
Ten or more farms may establish a
national loan association and begin is
suing mortgages. It is a simple and
easy thing, but under strict government
supervision. All they need to do is to
meet, declare that they want to bor
row on mortgage, and proceed. They
will each have to buy $5 of stock In
the federal land bank of their region
for every SIOO borrowed, but they will
get this money back when they pay off
their mortgages, and in- the meantime
will get their dividends if the federal
land bank earns any, which it is ex
pected to do.
In other words, Instead of paying a
5 per cent commission for a loan as
some now do, the borrower will pay
the same sum for stock which will
probably earn dividends for him, and
which he will get back when he pays
off his debt.
The mortgage is not allowed to draw
a higher rate of Interest than the legal
rate of the locality. It will draw as
low a rate as will be proven possible
by the sale of the land bonds. If in
verters and savers think so well of the
land bonds that they are willing to buy
them on a basis of 4 per cent, the mort
gages will not draw over ». They may
not draw as much as 1 per cent above
the land bond rate. That depends on
experience. Anyhow the farmer will
get his money at actual cost to the
great system of banks handling the
business.
He cannot borrow over SIO,OOO. If
he wants more than that he will have
to borrow in some other way. This
federal farm loan act provides for fed
eral joint-stock banks which can also
issue land bonds under government aus
pices.
It is thought by some that these banks
will be organized so promptly i.nd go
rapidly that they will cover the field
and prevent the organization of very
many of the co-operatiye organizations
of borrowers which I have described.
If so, perhaps it will be because tha
American farmer likes to deal with pri
vate banks rather than to organize co
operatively. If this proves true the
farmers will have themselves to blame.
It is also among the possibilities that
the private joint-stock banks organized
under this new law will be able to fur
nish money as cheaply as co-operative
associations can do, and thus save the
trouble, slight as it is. and the small
Investment in stock.
Alter five years any mortgagor un
der this system may pay his loan off in
whole >r in part. But loans under this
system either through a co-operative
association or a joint-stock bank are
made on the basis of paying a little ot
the principle whenever the interest is
paid. Thus these loans will be extin
guished. principal and interest in from
20 to 36 years by paying title if any
more than what mere interest amounts
to on ordinary loans. This is called
amortization. and offers the easiest
known way for the gradual payment of
loans.
THIRD LINE DEFENSES
TAKEN ON J FRONT OF
NEARLY FOUR MILES-
From Hardecourt to River
Somme Joffre's Men Go
Through, to Depth of Two-
Thirds of a Mile
—
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.
French and Russian forces have gained
additional important successes over the
armies of the central powers In north
ern France and Galacia, respectively.
A sustained attack over a front of
three and three-quarters miles by the
French against the third German line
north of the Somme resulted in the
capture of all the trenches to a depth
of from a third to two-thirds of a mile.
The line of the victorious French ad
vance extends from Hardecourt to the
Somme river at Buscourt.
The village of Maurenaa, which has
been the center of much severe fight
ing during the last few weeks, was part
ly occupied by the French in the same
assault. German prisoners to the num
ber of 1,000 and thirty machine guns
were captured. >
On the eastern front the Austro-Oer
mans have been forced to give up the
entire Stripa line from Tarnopol to Buc
zacz, which they had held since last
winter. The capture of the Stripa line
by the Russians followed the taking
of several towns In the region of Tar
nopol.
ADVANCE CONTINUES
The Russian success comes closely on
their turning of the flanks of the ritrlpa
position In the north by the capture of
Brody and in the south by the taking ot
Stanislau. The advance of General
Letchltzky continues south of Stanislau.
In Galacia, Petrograd says the Rus
sians are making progress along the mid
dle Sereth, having crossed the Koropice
river and occupied two towns. Further
south In the Monasterzyska region, the
Russians gave gained ground, while the
advance from Stanislau toward Tlalicz
and Lemberg continues.
Berlin says the re-grouping of the
Austro-German forces In the Stanislau
region is being carried out in accord
ance with our plans. The Russians
have been checked in the Zable region in
the Carpathians, with the loss of 700
prisoners, according to Berlin. German
troops now are aiding the Austrians
in the defense of the Carpathian passes,
while unofficially It is reported large
bodies of Turks are being thrown Into
the same district.
ITALIANS PRESS ON.
The duke of Aosta continues to ad
vance south of Gorlzla In the direction
of Triest and his troops have occupied
Oppacchlazalla, six miles southwest of
Gorizia. The Austrians are putting up
a strong defense against the attempted
Italian advance east of Gorlzla.
Russian forces tn the Mush-Bltlls dis
trict of Turkish Armenia have been driv
en back further by the Turks and the
Turkish advance into Persia also is mak
ing progress, Constantinople asserts.
Petrograd says obstinate fighting con
tinues north of Bitlls and that the
Turks are retreating in the region of
Bokana. Persia.
Two German aeroplanes have made a
raid on the British naval port of Do
ver. An official statement from Lon
don says four bombs were dropped, in
juring seven men, but doing little ma
terial damage.

ALL NATIONAL GUARD
UNITS ARE ORDERED
TO MEM BORDER
Troops Now in Mobilization
Camps Will Be Moved as
Soon as They Are Fully
Equipped
(By Associated Praia.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—A1l the na
tional guard units included in President
Wilson’s call of June 18. not yet on the
Mexican border, were ordered there to
day by the war department.
Between 20,000 and 25,000 additional
troops will thus be added to the border
forces. National guard troops there
will number approximately 125,000, and
the total of all troops on the boraer
cr In Mexico will be 175,000.
Secretary Baker made a formal an
nouncement that the troop movement
had nothing whatever to do with rhe
Mexican situation as such and was
solely to relieve thousands of troops now
held in mobilization camps only because
they lack a few recruits to bring units
up to fixed minimum strength.
Today’s order sends the troops from
Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont to the bor
der as soon as transportation can be ar
ranged for them and will move all the
others as soon as they are properly
equipped.
STIMULATE RECRUITING.
■War department officials decided on
their action because the troops are rest
ive in camp and there seemed to be no
stimulus,to recruiting while there was
no prospect of movement to the border.
They now expect most of the regiments
will be filled before the troops leave.
Secretary Baker today made public
a letter to a correspondent whose name
was not disclosed, who had suggested
that the government should discharge
state soldiers who desired to return
to their business careers. The secreta
ry wrote:
"A call to arms upon any body of
men in the country, except the regular
arm j’, who make a profession of the
military life, would inevitably Inter
rupt business, professional, and per
sonal careers, and it Is impossible to
imagine any situation In which the or
ganized militia or national guard of the
several states could be summoned into
the federal service without hardship
and inconvenience, and yet both the
constitution of the United States and
the laws made pursuant thereto recog
nize these militia and national guard
units as the secondary / reliance of the
government for the protection of the
interests of the United States and the
lives of the citizens of the country.
HOPE TO DISBAND SOON.
“The department regrets these in
conveniences and hopes that the emer
gency will rapidly disappear and that
there will be such a restoration of or
der and security on the frontier as will
permit the speedy return of these citi
zen soldiers io their several civilian
pursuits. In the meantime this depart
ment has taken steps to mitigate and
relieve as far as possible the unusual
and exceptional hardships which have
arisen in classes especially subject to
distress by reason of the service de
mand. To the extent that can be done
in fact, it will be done, but the primary
consideration must be the safety of our
border and the preservation and pro
tection of the lives of our citizens
there.
“It will be a source of great happi
ness to me when full relief can be given
to these men whft placed them
selves subject to this call of duty, and
In the meantime I am filled with ad
miration for the spirit with which the
militia has met the call, and with which
they are performing an Important and
necessary service to their country at this
time."

strikers who paralyzed Mexico City

Bill Creating ‘‘Peach
County” Loses by Vote
Os 94 to 67 in House
The bill to create the new county of
Peach from portions of Houston and
Macon counties, with Fort Valley as
the county seat, failed to pass the house
Friday morning.
The vote was 94 for and 67 against.
A constitutional majority of 126 votes
was necessary to pass the bill, which
is a constitutional amendment.
During the hour’s debate on the bill
the galleries were crowded with citi
' zens from the Fort Valley district,
: which is the largest peach-growing sec
• tion in the state, a fact from which
t the proposed new county was to receive
its name.
