! Thoughts For The Day
Whosoever shall offend one of these little
ones that believe in me, it is better for him that
a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he
were cast into the sea—Mark 9:42.
Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive
outside gf itself; it only requires opportunity.—
George Eliot.

. DO IT AND DO IT THIS WEEK
The Members of the Georgia legislature have been
bickeriilg and prognosticating for practically three
weeks over the passage of some tax legislation which
will relfeve the state of its embarassed financial con-
j dition. • So far the purpose of the special session has
not mod that requirement which was expected of it
by the ^ax payers of the state. Governor Walker has
done his part towards brin ging about a reconciliation
of all fictions and harmonizing the views of the va
rious members "who desire certain measures to meet
and fitithoir own ideas, but so far to no avail of any
material culmination. This week will carry the legis
lature into its fourth week of deliberations without
accomplishing an end. If the members of the legis
lature would lay asjde their personal ambitions and
follow the plans as outlined by the governor, a safe
and sane tax measure could have been passed and
that body of lawmakers and salary drawers could
have adjourned- The public is not in sympathy with
any such delays and side-stepping on the part of the
members in order that the session may be prolonged,
and finally wind up without the desired legislation
which the state is in dire need.
Governor Walker has planned in every conceivable
manner to satisfy all elements concerned and he has
even given up some of his own views and desires in
order to meet the demands being made i>y some of
those who ure seeking publicity as much aa they are
the passage sf a tax measure, but who are devoting
their eforts more to the personal interest side of the
question than that of the best interest of th.e taxpay
ers and of the stfite. Unless that spirit is entirely
eliminated, the legislature will adjourn without hav-
aiyenmnllahoA tk® nll.lmnnrlftnt orp»flnn nf ft tax
measure which has been expected of them. With
our further delay the members should "come to the
point" and agree on a measure wh!c|i will meet the
needs of the state—adjourn and return to their
homes jmd stop the bleeding of the treasury for which
they aip not giving anything in return.
' IT IS GREAT TO BE A FARMER
Tho Moultrie Observer sets up a number of rea
sons for it being great to be a farmer. It says:
Nobody helps the editor.
He has to weed his own row.
There is advice for the. farmer, but the editor
only'gets criticism.
Demonstrators are sent to help the farmer de
velop new ways and better ways of making a
living. The editor has to buy his own trade pa
per;: and better methods.
The farmer is helped by the government to
gB borrow money at a low rate of interest. The edi
tor has to put up security and pay the limit He
is nq favorite when it comes to borrowing.
The government runs special colleges and ex
periment stations to ascertain what it is best for
the farmer to do and not to do, but the editor has
to make his own experiments and lose when he
»kbs a mistake.
.The states and federal government spend
illions on marketing agencies for the farmer.,
he, no wens per man has to sell his own papers
; n andiadvertising, the government even putting
extra postage on his wares.
• The Legislature is busy trying to fix things so
(he farmer will have to pay less taxes, but the
ncv(ipapers have to pay ad valorem, corporation
taxes and special professional taxes, hnd they
are taxed (in Moultrie) for doing business, as
if they were a sort of nuisance like a bar room
or pool room. They are almost exempt from
income taxes. ^
VT'Ih must be great to be a farmer and feel that
your country has such an interest in you.
> . Come to think about the matter, the editor does
have a hard road to travel, but what ia the use ot
complaining. It is all in a life time and the beat
we make of it is better for us- We are glad that
some class of citizenship is receiving favors from
the legislation of the country and, maybe'some day
the newspapers will come into their own and be
treated with justly as all other public and commer
cial enterprises arc—with out discrimination. ■—*

The Augusta Herald has the fol-
lowing to say relative to the actl-
vtllea of the Athena League o'
r f men votera in the present ,mrrl
c "?Ih£n8' U wc»men voters
WANT TO KNOW
Athens women have organ
ised a non-partisan Women
Voter* League. We* commend
the Idea to the women voters
of Augusta.’ It 1* better, more
.r.telllgent and Infinitely more
effective than putting out wo
men candidate* for various of-
I ices. Athens is on the *ve of
u municipal election with op
posing candidates for mayor
and aldermen.
Here is the way the Women’s
Voters league opemies. On
the eve of the election the
League sends n questionnaire
to all the candidates. Their
replies or the fact that they
failed to reply are published. No
candidates are endrsed hut
l,v the record before th<m. the
\tromen voters make up their
minds and cast their votes.
This Is tho questionnaire now
being sent out to the municipal
candidates In Athens by the
Women Voter’s League:
'What Is you attitude to.
wards the elimination of ward
lines? Would you advocate tho
election of aldermen »by the
city at large, said aldermen to
be chosen Irrespectively of
ward lines? Or would you nd-
vocale te ‘election of aldermen
by the city nt large, retaining
tho feature of local renrceenta-
tion ns It now exists?
‘Do you advocate the elec,
tion of the Board of Education '
by the city nt large? Do you
favor the placing of women on
the Board of Education? If
so. what percentage? ,
"Do you advocate r. bond
Issue for gchools in 1924?
"Do you advocate the consol-
'.»-*lnn of city and county
eci**v*!»oy®tem* under on# man-
ngermnt o»* hoard? Do yon
ndvoente the consolidation of
ci*v and county health board?
"Do you advocate the enact,
ment of a law which would
make the mayor, members of
council and members of the
Civil Service Commission sub
ject to recall proceedings?
“Do you consider the present
method of assessing city realty
srttlrfactory? If not, what Im
provements would you suggest?
"Do you advocate the em-.
ployment of an expert# a limit,
ed length of time, for the pur
pose of working out * dly
plan to control future exten
sions and deveiopjnents—In
cluding public parks, play,
grounds, opening of new streets
etc.?”
A cartful readTng of t&ls
questionnaire plainly indicates
that Athens women votera are
seeking definite and intelligent
data on.public affairs and
what they may expect from
candidates elected to office by
their votes. If the women
voters of Augusts expect to
nw»ke th«ir votes count .in for-. |

be well for them to study care,
