Her tins, which are many, are forgiven; for

THE PRICE OF GASOLINE
' Governor Walker and Attorney General Napier
are going after the Standard oil trust in a manner
which indicates that they mean business and will
sec to it that the people of Georgia are not made to
suffer by having the oil trust of the country impose
prices as they see fit irrespective of cost or produc
tion. _ ...
It has been a custom of these oil companies to in
crease the price of gasoline over-night and to fix a
price which will earn a dividend in keeping with their
watered stock. The puldic has had no voice in the
matter of price fixing and up to this time no one has
offered or attempted to check in any manner the on
slaught of the oil companies upon the helpless con
sumers. If the governor and attorney general can
check the operations of these companies and succeed
in requiring them to keep fixed a standard price for
their oils and gasoline they will render a service to
the people which will mean millions of dollars saved
annually to the automobile and truck owners in
Georgia.
Under the law, the attorney general states that
relief can be secured and that secret manipulations of
prices can he stopped. t
Gasoline and oils have grown to be necessities
since the automobile and trucks came into general
use in commercial lines. These industries are largely
dependent upon this mode of operation in the conduct
of business.
It is quite evident from investigations made by the
attorney general that the oil companies have profited
unreasonably off the public and, no(W that the offi
cials are to take a hand in the adjustment of prices,
it Is believed that a general reduction will be made on
gasoine and oils in this state in keeping with the
recent reductions made in other states in the west.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
President White, of the Chamber of Commerce, has
called a meeting of that organization for tonight, ine
purpose of the meeting, as announced, is to secure
playgrounds. This is a most laudable movement as
tho city is in dire need of a place for the children to
play, but would.it not also he wise to take some action
and organize definitely by the appointment of a com
mittee to arrange for the holding of a fair here this
fall? A successful fair can he launched even at this
late date, if the proper work and energy is placed be
hind the movement. The agricultural college can
within its own confines provide a nucleus to insur<
the success of such an undertaking and this will en*
able those charged with the responsibility of the fair
to securo exhibits from this entire section which will
go to make up a most creditable exhibit of agricultu
ral products, live stock and poultry.
A few weeks ago over six hundred boys and girls,
members of the canning, pig and corn clubs, from all
sections of the state, spent two weeks here in attend
ance on the short course at the college. These boys
and girls were greatly* benefitted and their visit hero
will prove a great benefit to the college and to Ath
ens. The opportunities for developing and creating
greater yields of agricultural products and increasing
. the raising of live stock, hogs and poultry, and the
making of dairy products means u great deal to the
enriching of the state.
The Augusta Chamber of Commerce has blazed
the way by organizing and holding u three day fair
in that city this fall. Those interested in the move
ment propose to bring the hoys and girls and the
grownups to Augusta and besides having displays of
agricultural products, live stock, poultry, canning
clubs, will have speakers of reputation on diversify
ing crops and a-get-together meeting of the farmers
and business man. Such a meeting will mean much
for the people of Augusta and in that section of the
state and it would he well for the people of Athens
to emulate the plan udopted by the Augusta Cham
ber of Commerce.
By all means, the Chamber ot Commerce should
undertake the fair proposition—not put it off until
the next meeting and dilly dally over the matter, but
, arrive at some definite conclusion and appoint a com
mittee to visit the merchants and business men and
call upon them for their co-operation and help, and
then go to the farmers of this section and encourage
them to take part in the movement for a fair this
