THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but
he will establish the border of the widow.—Prov.
15:26.
Some people are proud of their humility —Beecher.
EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
The extra session of the general assembly as call
ed by Governor Walker will- convene Wednesday
morning. It ia to be regretted that agencies detri-
mental to the best interests of this state has been
working industriously for several weeks to stir up
and bring opposition to the proposed measures in
corporated in the call of the governor. Some arc
claiming that the call as issued ties the hands of the
legislators and that nothing material can be ac-
' “ complished from the session. Others are advocat
ing amendments to the call and urging the governor
to act before date of convening of thevlaw makers.
These and many other reasons are given by the op
ponents of bonds why the extra session should not
be held. After all, summing up the situation, the
analysis shows that all the clamor going the rounds
of the state is prompted by a desire to muddy the
waters of legislation with the cry of an illegal call
by the governor.
These issues are purely for political purposes and
for no other reason than to defeat the proposed au
thorization for an election affording the people of
. . of Georgia an opportunity to cast their ballots for or
against the highway and educational bonds. No
representative of the people should object to the
amendments as proposed; the matter of issuance of
bonds is left entirely in the hands of the people and
if they vote in favor of the amendments, good and
well and if they‘vote against the amendments, the
responsibility rests with the people. It should not
be left to the representatives to say whether or not
the people of Georgia shall have an opportunity of
expressing themselves. Democracy should control
in this case and political bickering be eliminated.
's?Ti If our state is to take its place along with other
progressive states, it is absolutely essential to vote
' bonds for highways, schools and educational insti
tutions for higher learning. Under the present sys
tem of road building, it will require years and years
to accomplish that which should be accomplished
within the next few years. The people are in no
temper to be dealt with by a "hop-skip and jump”
system of road building. They have made up their
minds to have good roads and if it requires $70,000,-
000 or more in bonds to complete the system, it is
q believed that they will vote for whatever is neces
sary. Our educational institutions have been stint-
ed and choked for years for the lack of buildings
and equipments. Our boys and girls are barred
from n higher education on account of the lack of
facilities. The time ia here for action and our peo
ple will not be satisfied with a. filibubster legisla
ture and a “do-nothing” session. They are expect-
ing decisive action on the part of our representatives
and if the time is given over to speech making and
camouflaging—thero will be an accounting In Geor-
/b t gin next year—that is certain.
PRESERVE YOUR LAND
m" °f vital importance to the land owner to di-
versify crops and treat the soil as carefully as they
would treat livestock. Land will wear out apd be-
, «ome non productive, unless properly cultivated and
A-i" cared for. Our lands are not treated right and for
thnt reason the valuation is depreciating.
' The Jackson Progress-Argus offers the following
sound argument in favor of treating your land right:
, “we have no doubt that there are thousands of
• y People in this section who would sell land at the
drop of a hat—if they could. But they can’t, not

The election of lion. James
A. I'crry, of the Georgia
public service commission, to
ihe chairmanship of that
body, was fitting and appro
priate.
Jim Ferry has beer, n member
of that board for the last fifteen
years and- has earned an
standing reputation ns a public
service commissioner. So much
so thnt he wan elected to the
niesideney of the nntional organ
ization of commissioners some
years ago. He has also held the
vice chairmanship bf this Geor
gia comntission for a number of
years and is the oldest member,
in point of service, on the hoard.
He ! s recognized as one of the
best authorities in the country on
fi,?ight rates and public utilities.
While there has been more or less
friction in tho board during the
past few years, : t is believed thnt
the time has come when nil dif
ferences existing between the
members can be wiped out nnd
harmonious feeling restored. It is
to be hoped so, to say the least. |
This department of the
state is of too much impor
tance fdr personal grievances
to exist and the functioning
of the commission be impaired
fer the lack of harmony.
