Burchfield did not tell his story
during the hearing yesterday. He con
tented himself with brief statement
to newespaper men in which he de
clared that he "had nothing to do
with it.”
"I liked old man Smith and consid
ered him one of the best friends 1

idea who could have killed Mr. Smith
or the othcrB,” he added.
Sol. Collins, son-in-law of J. W.

with the selection, except giving a
weight limit at 160 pounds, which just
includes the Dublin lad.

This message will carry inspiration
to the Georgia farmer from his bro
ther in California. Its meaning, rob
bed of well sounding phrases, is that
the farmer's taxes there will
to pay for the Cjst of electricity, gas
and street car rides of the comforta
bly house city man. It means an end
there to a dangerous, unjust. Com
munlstlc propaganda. •
The raisin grower of California is
>e with tha cotton planter of Geor
gia. Farmers are one the world over.
Their Interests are Identical. And
the vote in California points clearly
to every Georgia legislator hit duty
toward this pueation of Public Owner
ship.
What these men tried to do in Cali-
, fornla—and failed to do—la precisely
what their fellow-conaplratore In the
Municipal League have tried and are
j trying to do In Georgia. If anything,
I the plan proposed for Georgia la even
more dangerous to the farmers’ inter-
their proposal In California
of five hundred millions of dollars in
bonds to finance the plan. Ths Georgia
scheme hee no limit
In California they proposed that
board of five politicians should take
over the power plants and run them,
paying for any loaaea with the 8tate’i
tax money. That la the same Identical
proposal made to Georgians by the Mu
nicipal League. But the Georgia plan
Involves also the throttling of the Con
stitutional safeguard against excessive
indebtedness for which the tax-payer'
property Is security. Once this sacred
barrier is hacked away, once these
splrators are In charge of the vast
properties bought with bond money,
there will not be left one single safe
guard for the farmer or any other tax
payer.
By ths terms of ths proposed law,
this board of politicians would be re-
■ponelblo to no. one—n
courte. They would be above the Pub-
llc Service Commleelon—above
Legislature! Their authority would
directly from the Conetltution,
ae slashed and changed by the plan,
and they would be • law unto them-
eelveal What an opportunity!
This la the plan being urged
Georgia law-makera. Until now the
senators and representatives, with
commendable consistence, have reject-
But It will come up again next
summer. The Georgia farmer la the
backbone of the State and he la the
State’s political boss. His word to hla
legislator should echo his Collfornia
brothers' stern refusal to surrender bis
welfare or hla property to these vis
ionary, selfish conspirators.
