It was the poor Publican’s prayer that was commended to us all Of Legislation Urged by Senator Harris. Washington, D. C., Nov. 7.— Dis cussing the legislation which Congress should consider and denouncing the position of the Republican adminis tration on several important meas ures, Senator Wm. J. Harris today made his first comment upon return ing from Georgia for the extra ses sion of Congress. He announced op position to the ship subsidy bill; ad vocates the repeal of the tariff law and amendment of the revenue law; urgos legislation to help in the mark eting of agricultural products, estab lishing a system of rural credits, and further stimulating the farm*, loan banks, and favorable action at once on the Henry Ford bid for Muscle Shoals. Senator Harris said in a statement today: “The ship subsidy bill, as recom mended by President Harding, is a plan of taxing the people to the ex tent of .30 or 40 million dollars for tho shipping trust, in my opinion, and I am opposed to the legislation. The farmers have suffered more financial ly than any other class, and they are entitled to first consideration by tho Government in legislation. When tho farmers and live stock raisers prosper all other industries are benefitted,but when they cannot sell thoir products at a profit every industry suffers. “Why does not President Harding recommend to this ‘do nothing and discredited’ Congress some measures that will help the people of tho agri cultural South and West? When these sections prosper every section of our country enjoys prosperity. “Tho election of Nov. 7th wks a protest of the people against the rev enue bill passed by the Republican Congress placing the burden of tax ation on those least able to pay and exempting those most able. This lew should he amended. “The tariff law recently passed should be repealed. It has increased the cost of living for every person in the United States in order to help the Republican manufacturers who, in many cases, had contributed to the campaign. It is vicious to tax all of the people to assist in paying cam paign contributions. “Tho objectionable provisions of tho EBch-Cummins railroad law should bo repealed and a reduction in freight routes and passenger fares should be made, so that the manufac turers and farmers can make a living profit. Reductions will bring more business to the railroads, in my judg ment. “Congress should pass legislation that will help the farmer in market ing his crop at less expense and pre vent the middleman from getting all the profit the farmer earns. Several measures that would help the agricul tural situation, in my opinion, were introduced by me and passed the Sen ate at the last session. The farmer’s associations all over the country have recommended these bills, but the Re publican Congress will not let them be voted upon. Why not pass these bills, and others, and give the farmers assistance in marketing their crops through financial and warehouse fac ilities? “The Democrats were working on a system of rural credits to give the farmer cheaper interest rates on money. Why do the Republicans de lay this measure? The Democrats are all urging it new. “The Federal Farm I^oan Banks hould be more prompt in making loans, and Congress should increase the present limits. “The Southern cotton producer and the Western wheat farmers cannot receive full prices for their products as long as Europe is floundering a- bout financially. It is to our interest for Europe to get on a sound basis financially and commercially. It will help our farmers, laborers and man ufacturers. “Because Henry Ford contested the Newberry election is one of the reas ons the Republicans have refused to let Ford have Muscle Shoals, which would be a great help. The Republi can voters have repudiated Newber- ryism. Why not let Ford have Muscle Shoals? He made the best bid and offered millions for a plant which the Republicans said should be junked. Why not pass this legislation now? The country will force Congress to help Muscle Shoals two years from U.D.C.

CAN GET PLANT Our Chamber of Commerce is do ing some, good work for Cedartown, and Secretary McCord is right on the job. Herd is a chance for Cedartown to get a new industry that cornea through C. of C. channels. An experienced and successful brick manufacturer wishes to move to Cedartown with $15,000 worth of machinery, if our people will take stock to an equal amount. The fi nancial management would be in the hands of our local people, and he would look after the manufacturing end of the business. If you are interested, talk with Mr. McCord about it. Accident Policy. We can offer to autoists bigger value for the money than any other policy written. Our new Automobile Accident Policy provides for the pay ment of $1,0(JO for death or the lose of,-,eye or limbs or one-half amount for ope limb; $350 for loss of one eye’s annual increase in indempnity of 10% for five years; $26 weekly indemnity for 26 weeks for total dis ability from automobile accident; $12.SO for partial disability two weeks; $15 weekly additional on total disability for four weeks for hospital; non-disabling accident, $5 for sur geon’s fee; expense up to $100 paid if injured away from home to defray expense of reaching home or rela- ives. All of these benefits for only $5 a year. This insurance written for both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years. No ona who drives or rides in an auto can af ford to be without it. THE KNIGHT AGENCY. now, in my opinion. “The Republican party should not forget the farmer, tho wage-earner and the consuming public.” Senator Harris is a member of the Senate agricultural "bloc,” and all of his viewB on agricultural matters are in line with the fight being made by the “bloc.”
