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 is beginning to lean) means the difference largely / 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. , Arrested by detectives on a charge of shoplifting, a New York man claims that the theft was a subcon- / clous act He eays he had been thinking of buying » some jeweliy for a niece "and had not realized he had stolen it until he reached the street”- A novel alibi.

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. ay on the. subject to buy a suit of clothes the money which is applicable to Athens: Jl}e pays tor the suit is ALi. taken “If you tell some people that it out ot the town.
