KEEP THE PUBLIC OUT OF THE FIGHT '
Needle*, California is a little desert town located on the South
ern Pacific Ballway between El Paao and Los Angeles. It lies- be
tween high desert hills and is practically barren of vegetation of
■ any sort. The thermometer registers higher at Needle* than at
any other point along the Southern Pacific Route. . \
The other day sevefhi train loads of people contracted with
the railroad and its employees, through the purchase of tickets,
to be carried ,to various destinations in the East
When the trains reached Needles the crews abandoned the
r trains entirely without warning. Men, women and children, with
absolutely no connection with the existing difference between own
er end employee were left to swelter and suffer in that almost un
bearable climate until relief trains could be cent hundreds of miles
to their rescue.
No one Will deny the crows the right to quit work, if they so
desire, but the obligation is as great on the employe** as it is on
tho railroads to carry out their contracts with the public. At least,
the public should have been warned before the trains left Los An
geles that tha trains would be stopped at Needles.
A few acta of this character will so arouse public sentiment
against the Unions that the men will not be able to get that to
! which they may be fairly and .Justly entitled to.
GOOD PROSPECTS FOB BUMPER CROPS
AND PROSPERITY
Everyone is familiar with the old adage, “W» must raise an.
other crop before we can have- prosperity.** Well, the harvest season
is at hand and America at this time fact* the praepeet of bounti
ful crop*—certainly better crops than last year, and a dawning
period of great prosperity. The wheat crop la estimated at 805 mil
lion bushels as against 784 last year. A corn crop of over three
billion bushels, well shows tha 10-year average. Oats a million and
si quarter bushels as against a million last year. Hay over HO mil
lion tons as against 86 million l*it year, Irish potatoes 440 million
bushels as against 846 last year. Tobacco nearly a billion and a half
pounds as against a billion last year.
Athens and the South an particularly interested in the cotton
estimate which is given title year at 11,449,000 bales as against a
crop of 7,863,000 bales last year. Cotton in Athens was quoted yes
terday at 2fo sis against 11.88 for the same day last year. If the
cotton estimate holds and the present price keeps up. the South
will msrkct this year’s crop for wall over a billion dollars. At the
price quoted for last year’s cotton, the South received leu than/
half a billion dolikn. Between these limits is the measure of the
prosperity of the South this year as compared with last year-
well over half a pillion dollars for its cotton crop alone.
In reality this year’s cotton crop will be worth a gnat deal
more titan the above half a billion dollars to tho South, for* the
reason that the South la raising largely other crops—feed crops,
bread ami await crepe, beehfcfhaving gone into commercial truck
ing and dairying on a largo seals. In addition this year's cotton
crop has been one of the neaped crips ever raised.
The South has also received large sums of money-from its tie
and timber industry during the year. Observers declare that tho
South Is more nearly self-supporting than ever before, and that
mast of tho money to b^ received from this year’s cotton crop li
going to he surplus cash money and is to remain in the South to
pay for tho South’s food bills at has been the custom In the put
The stage Is all set for a quick revival of business not only in
the South hut all over the country, as soon as the coal and railroad
strikes arc' out of the way. Peace seems to have come with some
sort of sh understanding in the coal industry, and it is not believed
that the railroad strike can continue (nuch longer, despite the fail
ure of President Harding to hring the men and the carriers to.
gether. This intimation that the whole issue Is goto gto be put up
to Congress in behalf of the American people clearly Indicates the
seriousness of the situation, and that a way of ’relief and adjust
ment must speedily be found. '
LENROOT STARTS FIGURING ^
A little figuring is a dangerous thfngl Shallow jHrafts intoxl-'
cate the brain. Senator Lenroot is a Republican who is viole ntly
opposed to the.Fordney-McCuraher Tariff bill. Senator Lenroot at;
tempted to figure for Senator McCumber the gther day bow much
the farmer stands to lose in dollars and centa by a duty on hides.
Here, as he briefly stated in the Senate, is the result of bit figura
tion: '
“Let us assume that we are talking, of the farmer wtyh
one cow. Let us suppose such a. farmer, with a wife and five
.children slaughters that,cow and geto an additional $1.20 for
tho hide- Ho has to buy two pairs of shoes a year for each
member of his family not including himself. That’s twelve pain
; of shoes, nnd they cost him 20 cents more a pair. That la an
increase of $2.40 in the price of the shoes he must buy, or twice
the increase he gained for the hide. That applies to tho farmer
with one cow who may kill that cow and have a hide to sell.
What have you to say of the millions who have no hide to
sell?’
Senator Linroot is unmindful of the fact that then* are one
hundred 1 and ten millions of people in the United States now and
all ale voters that have reached the proper age. And nearly all are
provided: with pencil and paper—mostly those that are too young
to'vote. Therefore it is a hazardous thing for the Senator to start
a-figurating, for he is thus setting the example, for others an lia-<
He to begin doing the same thing, and where it will end gnclous
. only knows. It has taken Fordney, -McCumber A Co., a long time
to figure up the tariff schedules and it may take the .people just
as long to figun them down.
After the people get through figuring on hides, then on the
tariff schedules on food,'clothing and other, necessities of Ufo to
be figured on. The consumer will be interested in finding out what-
the effect of 33 cents a pound on wool will have on the cost of
clothes, for example and what the rate of L84 centa a pound on
Cuban sugar will do to the family food hill for the year. By this
time he should be pretty expert et figures and it won’t lake him
very long to go through th$ cotton goods schedule.
Then when he figures up the grand total of hit family expenses
with the Fordney-McCumber tariff and what his family’s expenses
would be without the tariff and subtracts one from the other, show
ing the huge burden he has got to carry just for the enrichment of
the privileged few his indignation knqws no bounds. When be gets
into this frame of mind, the average consumer won’t waste much
time figuring on how msny Ups are between him and the ballot box,
or how Jong it will Uke him to cover the distance, nor will he have
to stop and study how be is going to vote when he gets there.

The School Board, haa met again,
and -after numerous anting* has
put oft the selection of a site tor
the Baxter St, School Indefinitely.
Well, that la a good idea, if they:
are going ahead and make aa big
a t.uancial blunder ae they did
when they purchased me lot for
i ’ school site bounded by Harris
and Church 6ts, containing a
little over an acre and for which
they paid the magnlficlent sum of
a, little over 18.000 hard tax money.
.jw this lot if put on the market
would not bring 83,000. Quite a
lose. «. I
here .have been numoroua

each hah its advocates. Thu
tendency toems, however, to be to
have the site located Beyond
Lumpkin St. by all means, but
When you go Into tho matter and
see who is advocating these sites
it resolves itself down to a few
people who have little girls attend
ing private schools but they are
vitally interested in seeing that
the parents with little boys shall
not have to send their little ones
for away from home to school.
There bis been one tract of land
- offered containing abort 17 to 18
acres, one block from me car line,
which would draw little boys (not
girls) from Hancock AVe. to Lump
kin St. and it would not be a bard
walk for any of them. The cry
haa been that It “this property is
too close to the colored popula
tion." That could be true but lu
this case the 'colored population
can bo entirely cut out. This
property runs back to Rock Sprina
SL and the only egress from Rock
Spring St would be either through
Dearlng St, or through Baxter St
There is no street to Rock Siring
in between these two streets.
Tho piece of property offered has
untold advantages. Besides l>e:ng
an Ideal place for s-school, there'
Is ample room for all the bail
grounds, tennis courts, etc. that
children In Athens are clamoring
for. There 1* also an Ideal place
for a swimming pool for tho whole
of Athens ^and also! room for a
park for the grown ups. Athens
