COMMIT 1 fcb CHAIRMANSHIP IN l bKS IAI h.
COMMERCE
We fail to understand the activities of the Demo
crats of the senate in aligning themselves with the
opposition element of the regular republican mem
bers of that body in their effort to control tho ap
pointment of the chairman of the committee on In
terstate Commerce. It is true that this committee as
signment is one of the most important of the senate
and much power is vested in this committee in the
control of the Interstate Commerce Commission whiclj
has under its control the railroads, transportation
companies and authority over commercial interests
of the nation. But, with all that, a majority of tho
committee will be republicans and the chairman; a
democrat, would have unloaded upon him the re-
sponsibilities of matters which are bound to become
issues in the 1924 presidential campaign, and the re
sponsibility of whatever may be the action of this
committee should be placed upon the republicans and
not the democrats. We do not believe that the elec
tion of Senator Smith, of South Carolina, would aid in
the least the democratic party in the approaching
campaign. 'It would in a measure place the respon
sibility of the action of the committee largely gn the
chairman and in that Way. would be an avenue for
the republicans to open issues against the minority
party.
So far a deadlock has been perfected by the amal-
gimation of the democrats and certain republican
and independent senators who have succeeded in
* preventing organization of the senate.- If this fight
is kept up after convening in January there is Ho
telling what the results will be, whether it will take
n turn favorable to the democrats or not It is a
serious question and may be the means of reacting
rather than aiding.
The act creating the Interstate Commerce Com-
' mission was' passed !» 1887; its powers have been en-
■ larged and strengthened a number of times since.
1 During the war this commission held absolute author-
' ity over the railroads and operated them. In return
ing the roads to the owners, this commission stipu
lated certain conditions under which they were to be
managed in the interest of the public.
Our democratic senators, no doubt, know what is
best for the interest of the party, but frqm a long dis-
. tance view of the' deadlock, it'appears to us that it is
best to give the republicans such . committees and
. place the responsibility where it belongs.
Christmas is over and now for the commencement
of a new year to make it a record breaker in business
and in the morale of the community.
Atlanta experienced the usual number of murders
and accidents on Christmas Day. However, when you
consider the large population of that city, the per
centage of crime is no greater than in other commu-

any other time of the year.
THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
No headaches, thick tongues or blue taste from the
effects of too much imbibing of the Anti-Volstead
fluid. The old days, commonly referred to as the
“good old days," have passed forever and the one
time “joyous Christmas morn’ ” when eggnog par-
vere all the rage is one of the recollections of
, er citizens of the past which will never return—
it during this generation, at least With all the
publicity given to the rum. runners on the coast and.
the shipments smuggled into this country, little, if
any, was piloted into this city. It was a dry Christ
mas day and around police headquarters the ap
pearance of a dull summer day, insofar as arrests
were concerned,.prevailed. Chief Beuasee and his
officers have been alert to every move which had
the color of transporting the outlawed fluid into
Athens. How. well they succeeded in prohibiting
its receipt or sale was demonstrated by the small
amount of drinking and the scarcity of arrests.
Few cities in the country, with similar population,
can boast of as quiet and orderly a time as was ex
perienced in Athens, which goes to prove that our
city is well officered and the police force composed of
conscientious men who are doing their x utmost,.to
give to the people every prdtection against violators
of the law and criminal practices.
Our people should be proud of the high morale
of the community and the splendid type of citizen
ship. A spirit of co-operation in the enforcement
of ail laws is apparent among our people which goes
a long way towards aiding the officers in their ef
forts in suppressing all character of crime and viola
tions of the law. Athens is a good town to live in;
Athens people arc the best oq the face of the globe;
we are proud of being an Athenian. May the new
year bring to all of our citizens the best there is in
the land.

The announcement in the
news columns of the Banner-
Herald, a fsw -days since, of
the report of Julian Qoetchius,
chairman of the Ctilsens Commit
tee which had charge of the build
ing of the Chase and ' Lumpkin
street* schools, Mell auditorium
and repairs to a number of the
other school buildings, showed
that the bond issue voted last year
Imd been wisely and judidously
disbursed by this committee. Un
der the personal' supervision of
Mr. Goetchtus, these buildings
fwere completed and equipped be
sides improvments made to other
buildings and a neat sum returned
to the board of education. The
tax pnyers and citizens of Athens
are Indebted to Mr. Goetchlus for
the splendid, econoqiial and busi
ness like manner in which the
bond issue was expended. Th«
result Is a tribute to the energies,
resourcefulness and business qual
ifications possessed by the chair
man, Julian Goetchiu*.
and expressed to the men student*
curiosity as to the cause of th«
situation . %
