~ WASHINGTON IN GEORGIA
. (NOTE.—The following is the first install
:‘ ment of a paper Miss Blackshear read to the
i Elijjah Clarke D. A. R. at a recent meeting),
By A. LAURA E. BLACKSHEAR
When General George Washington became -the
i first President of the United States, he felt an
| drresistible urze to learn all that he could about
¢ the people and the country which he had been
¢ called upon to govern, and to do all in his power
Ito encourage a spirit of loyalty to the new gov
¢ ernment among the people who had fought with
?-'kfm to win independence for the young republie,
. and who must now help him to weld it together in
. unity. With this purpose in view, during his first
. administiation, Washington made three Presiden
¢ tial tours, at Lis own expense, inh the course of
. which he visited ail of the original thirteen states,
i moling in his diary their economic conditions,
m snggestions for improvements. Though daily
~ roceiving social attentions and lavish hospitality,
.le visited battlefields and forts; traced the routes
©of the armies of the great Revolution; observed
2& investizated waterways, timber tracts and
. ageicultural ‘lands; all the while winning the
" bearts of the people by his gracious and demo
eratic mgnner, and earning the admiration and
- esteem of all by his wisdom, understanding and
. prophetic vision.
;"jWaahiggton's tour of the -Southern states was
m" at Philadelphia, which was the temporary
- eapitol of the United States at that time, and this
Journey brought him to Georgia for a ten days’
- visit, the tour made all the way by coach and on
. horseback, sometimes over rough roads and
‘crooked trails. It required almost: three months
for the round trip of 1,887 miles, with the necessary
- and courtesy stops—more time than is necessary
- now for a tour around the world.
.~ Washington's diary records that he left Phila
‘flelphia about eleven o'clock. on . the morning of
. March 21, 1791, in his. huge and e¢legant chariot
i drawn by four horses, and that hig retinue also
. consisted of a two-horse baggage wagon, four
- saddle horses for members of. his party, and a
~ “led” hqrse for his own use when he wished to
. ride on horseback. He was acconrpanied by an aide
- who also served as his secretary, Major William
| Jackson,.who was a writer, a fluent speaker, and
- @ pallant s=oldier possessed of-tact and diplomacy.
" There were five servants in attendance, a valet, a
. coachman, a postilon, and two footmen.
- President Washington stopped at Georgetown,
| Maryiand, from March 28-20, to meet with the
. eommissioners whom he had appointed to estab.
" lish thewmew Federal district. The plans for the
| capitol were inspected and the boundaries of the
- Distriet of Columbia settled and .proclaimed.
. After.spending about a week at Mount Vernon
. the Pregldential party resumped the journey through
{ Misginia_and the Carolinas' to Georgia. Washing.
& his wife’s request tp accompany tum|
Becanse Wi possibles hardships that might arise in
Pioneer Qravel. Nothing unpleasant .d hiy pen,
and the journey was completed ahead ot the sched
§ times that Wushington hagd outlined before he
let ,‘.-afhi'dfl%h‘la. ’
. Whilenin Virginia, Washingtou visited his sister
‘Betty antl her family for a few 'days, and revis.
jtea thelscencs of his childhood between social
* functions. arranged in his k.onor.
© It sheuld be most interesting to review the
each day along the way, but those ex
would lil severail papers, and this one
should be confined to happenings in Georgia.
¢ The mizht of May 11th, 'Washington spent with
Majoi I,gywax'd on the east side of the Savannah
river, byt he arose with his party at daylight and
Test at #ive o'clock, driving twenty.two miles to
5 Purysbufe to breakfast. Puirysburg ig 28 miles up
, from Savannah, and is a place of some
‘historic gnterest, having becn the headquarters of
‘the General Lincoln of Revolutionary fame for
- whom l%:coln street in Savannah is named. Here
on May J2th the President. was met by five patri.
ots of the Revolution, comprising a committee of
: ‘gughed Savannah raen, dncluding Noble
imberly Jones, General l.&chlan Mclntosh, Jos.
iph Clay, John Houston and Coonel Joseph Hab
.’ffi;;,f loyal supporters of the new republic.
& This g)mmlttee, realizing Washington's interest
In. watepways, planned to bring him down the
‘river in boats. The handsomne eight.oared barge
‘in which the President Rode was elaborately dec
“orated ‘gd was propelled by .nine captains of

. They wfie blue silk jackets, black satin breeches,

& llats with banus lettered in gold, bearing the
‘legend: ‘Long live the Prelsident.”

AN UNWISE SUGGESTION
The -suggestion offered by the Honora
ble Newton DD. Baker that the United
States institute a “‘boyecott” against Japan
unless that country ceases hostilities in the
Far East against China, is unwise and un
becoming of an American of the promi
nence enjoyed by Mr. Baker. In fact his
suggestion was a great disappointment to
his friends throughout the United States
who have held him in high esteem as one
of America’s great men. Boycotts can not
be justified; it is a malicious procedure
whether national or international, and a
sound thinking public will disagree with
Mr. Baker.
The United States i 8 in no position or
condition to become entangled with for
eign natious, commercially or otherwise,
1t this time, The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill
is almost equal to a boycott insofar as
being responsible for present commercial
nonditicns. The United States is a pro
{ucing nation; if the markets of the world
ire not open for trade relations, then our
aroducts become a liability rather than an
asset. The chief cause for present condi
‘ions, depression or whatever one may
nlease to term it, is due more to that ab
yminable tariff measure than all other
agencies combined. With a prohibitive
tariff on practically all products of foreign
sountries, naturally the affected countries
will impose gir Yar duty requirements on
American products. And such legislation
has been ensacted by them in retaliation for
the Smoot-Hawley tariff measure.
No, Mr. Baker, it is not Americanism
to institute boycotts, but it is Democracy
to deal fairly with foreign nations and
treat with them as we would have them
treat with us. Abolish the Smoot-Hawley
tariff law; enact reasonable tariff laws,
elastic and adjustable to conditions that
we are now facing, and soon the depres
sion will disappear to be supplanted by
normalcy and prosperity.
THE RAILROADS AS TAX PAYERS |
One of the largest sources of revenues'
for federal, state and municipalities come
from the railroads of the country. The
physical value of railroads is exposed to!
assessors, and usually such property is as-|
sessed at a higher rate of value than prop-|
erty of individuals, industrial and other!
properties. The falling off of business!
with the railroads during the past few
years, has caused a reduction ‘in the'
amount of taxes, it is true, but even under
present conditions, the railroads are carry-,
ing the'r full share of the burdens of taxa-i
tion of the nation. i
The Railway Age, in a recent issue, “dis-.!
closes the fact that the railways set at
least one new financial record in 1931. For
every dollar of net income earned for the
stockholders of the railways the carriers
naid $3.46 to federal, state and local tax
collectors”. Continuing with figures as
compiled by that publication, it says: |
“Net income of the railways in 1931 was
approximately $89,000,000,” continues the
Railway Age, “while railway tax accruals
amounted to about $308,000,000. . As far
back as the recorded statistical history of
the railroads is available, 1931 was the
first year in which taxes exceeded net in—l
come available for dividends. o
“The 1931 figure of net income, amount
ing to $89,000,000, was the lowest for any
vear since 1897, when the total was ap
proximately $86,000,000. Taxes in that
vear were $41,000,000, go, in 1931 as com
vared with 1897, net income increased $3,-
000,000, or less than four per cent, while
taxes inereased $267,000,000, or 650 per
cent.
“For every dollar of net income in 1897
the railways paid about 48 cents in taxes.
In 1931, as shown, for every dollar of not
income the railways paid almost $3.50 in
taxes, While the railways are perhaps
more vitally affected than industry in gen
aral, these comparative tax figures are a
striking illustration of the burden of the
axcessive costs of government. A reduc
tion in thsi burden is essential.”
Railroads are builders of communities
'nd sections through which they traverse.
They are owned by the public, widows,
orphans, educational institutions, civie or
ganizations and churches. Discriminatory
legislation is unreasonable and without
justification. In taxation, the railroads
should be classified equally along with
other taxable property, and the faet that
it is the property of a railroad does not
warrant a higher assessment of valuation
than would be assessed in the case of pri
vately or corporation owned property. If
the railroads are to succeed and render the
service to which the public is entitled—it
is necessary for them to be treated with
on the same basis as all other enterprises.
PASSENGER PARACHUTES?
A bill was introduced in Congress the
other day which would require all air
transport lines to provide parachutes for
every passenger, much as steamship lines
are required .to provide life-preservers;
and, as might be expected, it has stirred
up a good deal of argument on both sides.
. In theory, perhaps, the idea is a good
one. Any transport company certainly is
under a moral obligation to do everything
it can to ensure the safety of its patrons.
But, as officials of the transport com
panies have been pointing out, there are
plenty of obstacles in the way of this
measure.
In most airplane crashes there would
not be time for all the passengers to jump
to safety even if they did have parachutes.
Novices might operate their chutes co»-
rectly, if they did manage to jump in time,
and they might not. Besides, the expense
of providing parachutes for everybody
would put most air transport companies
out of business.

A Little gf—aerything,
Not Mud_\_oi Anything
The suggestions, appearing
ing in this column yesterday,
for the improvement and re
pairs to the old cemetery on
Jackson street, met with many
favorable comments from a
large number of citizens.
Not only should the place be
cleaned up, but some protection
chould be given to’the sacred spot
in the way of a fence, picket or
wire. The cemetery is cut up with
paths, littered with trash and deb
ris of numerous kinds—bottles, tin
cans, old shoes and other discard
ed remnants of objectionable rub
bigsh or junk. In fact, the place is
an eye-sore, and it should be giver
a thorough clean up.
It is hoped that the munici
pal authorities and civic or
ganizations will cooperate in a
clean-up campaign before the
coming of the Garden Club of
Georgia.
This convention will assemble
several hundred ladies from all
sections of the state, who Wwill
gpend several days here. For the
streets, lots and lawns to appeur
untidy during their stay, would be
indeed unfortunate., Such a cam
paign would not prove expensive
in dollars and cents, and from an
advertising point of view, it would
be a spiendid investment. It is not
too early to cemmence; procrast!
nation will born disaster. While
the time is opportune, action should
be taken.
