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. w-onion of tho "tomorrow" who .Trussed County Truck, with T wttt shape the destiny of this W.

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 It 1 ,’ ? ad ,™ v 1 e " tur 1 e ‘he prediction that a fair credit- ableto ali and to tho community will he the result. ;.
