WHY THE REPUBLICANS ARE WORRYING
Thd American Farm Bureau Fedeiation hu9 a Re
search Bureau and it is worrying the Republican
leaders. There are no party lines in the work of
this Buroau. Recently it was given the task.of erti-
matihg just what the Republican tariff was costing
the farmers of this country, and it lias announced
that the tariff is costing the farmers of America over
and above any .gains it may have brought to agricul
tural products, the neat and net sum of $301,000,000
a year. Incidentally it is costing all American con
sumers the rum of $1,1^16,000,000 a year. Neither
the farmers of the country nor the rest of the con
sumers of America are going to stand much longer
for any such increase on what they consume.
Farmers are consumers.as well as producers, and it
is in the consumption line where the tariff hits the
fanners hardest, just as it docs the rest of the coun
try. Here are some significant figures of what the
tariff is doing to the common people. A bit later we
shall see just what the common people in turn are
going to dir to the tariff and incidentally to the Re
publican Party in the next election.
Table knives are laid down in this country with nil
charges in.hiding the tariff at a cost of less' th».n 4
cents each. They are sold to the, consumer in a New
York Department More at 30 cents each or at an in
crease of 679 per cept
Cabbage seed in 1-4 ounce packages are laid down
in this country at a total cost of a little over 2 cents.
They -are sold to the consumer at 35 cents a package
or at an increase of 1567 per cent
An aluminum sauce pan which costs 40 cents to
lay down in this country is sold at $1.24 or an in--
crease ,of 210 per cent.
Scissors which cost a little over 26 cents to lay
down in this country are sold to Consumers at a cost
of $2.65 or an increase of 1127 per cent.
And so the story goes. But the significant part of
fC ' this story is that the American farmer especially the
jg 1 farmer who is a Republican and who always has
' V ' voted*the Republican ticket and doubtless will con-
' tinue to vote it, has at least had.his eyes opened as to
k ! what the tariff is doing for him. You can take it that
A - he is-against the tariff, at least such a tariff as the
V Fordney-McCumbcr tariff for the future- There is
• » going to.be mighty few more of such tariffs made.
: . Incidentally the Republican farmer is also waking
up to the fact that it is his surplus crop of wheat and
. corn, and .cattle and hogs that are sold abroad that
largely-rietermine his profit on the year’s operations.
Whether or not the United States can bring about
peace inEurope, can help Europe to become a better
Yft^Vlustomer of American crops, the Republican farmer

/ between prosperity and debt. He may not as yet be
in favor of the League of Nations, but he is satisfied
•that the prosperity of this country is largely bound
' up in the peace and prosperity of his customers on-
the other side of the world. If they are starving,
they are out of the market for American farm pro
ducts, however much they may need them. ,

ATHENS SHOULD BE STRONGLY REPRESENTED
An effort is being made to perfect a statewide
organization, to be known as “Georgians Incorpor
ated,” at Macon on Tuesday, May-8. Facts and fig
ures show that Georgia is falling behind her sister
states of the south in her industrial development. It
is hoped to arouse the various sections of the state to
co-operative interest and to bring new industries to
Georgia in the future.
The following figures show in part what other
states in the south are doing in the way of industrial
development as compared with Georgia.
During the past ten years Georgia has fallen badly
behind her sister states, and there must be a strong
aggressive campaign in order to regain lost grounu
and bring Georgia to the very front in industrial
matters. From 1909 to 1919, Georgia only increased
*: eleven in the number of her manufacturing plants,
- . There was, of course, some development and expan
sion in plants already established. For the five year
period from 1909 to 1914 there was actually a loss in
the number of wage earners employed in manufac
turing plants. For tfc' ten year period there was an
increase of the 19,0o0 wage earners, but of this in
crease, 14,000 was in nine cities of the state.
From 1909 to 1919, North-Carolina increased her
plants 1,068 with a capital increase of more than
p>; $451,000,000—an increase greater than Georgia’s
total capital today. South Carolina built 150 plants
against cur eleven. This shows how tremendously
important it is that there be a strong organization
centralizing as to the upbuilding of the industries of
the state and procuring such new industries as will
. 'be .profitable. ,
To The Banner-Herald’s mind, Georgia’s and Atn-
ens’ greatest need at the present time is the develop-
- ment of more hydro-electric power. For Athens to
increase her present industries to any large extent,
, the city must be in -position to offer abundant power
and at reasonable price. What is true of Athens is
undoubtedly true of many other cities and sections of
the state. At liny rate, Athens should be stronly rep.
resented at this Macon meeting. Sucli representa
tives should include the city couhcil, the Chamber of
Commerce, public utilities companies, railroad .offi
cials, local bankers and others.

BY BERTON BRALEY
Oh if you write a story, a story

With thrills in every chapter and
art in eevry line,
Still all its glow and glanv'r will
be but fugitive
Unless you put some love in—for
Love’s what makes it live.
And if you sing a carol with lovely
word and tune
That ripple like the waters be
neath a silver moon,
Its magic will not tarry qk linger
very long
Unless you put some love in, for)
Love’s what makes the song! j
What if your deeds be splendid,
what if your fame be wide?
These arc but transitory and will
not long abide;
However you be lauded, however
fortune smile.
If love itself be lacking—they are
not worth while.
So if with pen you labor, or
brush or spade or 'maul,
And If you fashion statues, or tow

Whatever be the talent or artistry
that’s yours.
Be sure to put some love in—for
