A State Police Force
The following is the concluding installment of a
speech delivered over the radio by Henry H.
West, solicitor general of the Westera Judicial
elreuit, in support of the move to organize 2a
state police patrol system in Georgia. The first
installment appeared in Friday’s Banner-Herald.
v
The salary of these men ghould be high enough to
S:I'l to this duty men of high integrity, men above
¢h and men who will bring to the corps such
‘Jplrlt that they will rival the famous royal mounted
police system of the province of Canada.
1 am of the opinien that this department naturally
uld fall under the Attorney General's office and
should be charged with the responsibility of the
orcement of laws of this state with the aid and
fiperation of the solicitor generals, solicitors of
various city courts, sheriffs and other peace offi
ters. In order to perfect this system, if it is placed
tinder the attorney general's office, there should be
gome change in. our law whereby the attorney gen
éral is removed from politics more than he is at the
present time.
IR B P, e 10, il
_The general assembly may see fit to place it in a
geparate department along the lines of the public
gervice commission which now controls the utilities.
Bhould they do this, there should be at least three
gommissioners who should not be in politics, apd
this commission should pass on the rules and regula
tions governing the police system, select the person
pel, including the directors and be charged with the
duty of seeing that every membey of the force carry
out their particular duty.
The first question that will come up is the ques
tion of cost. In my opinion, SI.OO should be allotted
from the tax for each automobile licensed in this
diate which will amply cover the cost and I think it
is just as important that this money be spent for
protection of life and property as to spend it for
the maintenance of roads for the comfort of tourists
and citizens who ride over our highways.
When setting up this system there should be some
regulation placed whereby in addition to the identi
fication of an automobile by the license tag, each
driver should be licensed and only be allowed to
drive an automobile after having been examined
as to physical and mental defects.
It is very strange to me that a great state like
Georgia has thrown no safeguard around the lives
of its eitizens by requiring that the operator of 2
motor vehicle stand some kind of an examination
as to_his ability to operate a car and as to whether
he is physically and mentally able to drive the car.
In addition there should be a regulation whereby
an inspection is made of the brakes and equipment
of the various trucks and motor cars. .
You may say this will cost a lot of money but if
this is ever brought home to you by the injury or
death of a member of your family you wil] feel that
the money should have been*spent.
If theré were established in the state of Georgia a
police system, I am of the opinion we would reduce
our many accidents at least 50 percent within 30
days.~. 1 am convinced that the average automobile
operator would be far more careful if he knew when
rounding a curve at 50 or 60 miles an hour he would
likely meet a state policeman on the highway.
If the people of this state knew that the traffic
hws were going to be enforced, they would carefully
abide by them. I might best illustrate this by the
town of Clarkston. Probably a number of you have
driven through Clarkston and you will probably ad
mit that when you reach the city limits of that town,
you very carefully slow down to a legitimate speed
and watch both sides of the road. You do it even
today, although I am informed that it has been over
eight years since a traffic officer has been on duty
in this little village. I grant you, the town of Clarks
ton went a little too far in the enforcement of their
jaws, but I am trying to point out tQ you the psy
chological effect of having the road patroled.
As Solicitor General of the Western Circuit, I wish
to say, we have, in my opinion, in this circuit the
r:t peace officers in Georgia, and they are doing
Wonderful work. There are very few crimeg which
&nam unsolved and few criminals not under arrest,
but in the last ten years there has been many occas
fons when these local offiers would have been de
ghted to have had outside aid in the form of trained
policemen to work out some of the technical points
ot the case.
- In conclusion, my friends, may I repeat that the
: of the personnel should be high enough to
draw the finest type of men; that the equipment
hed the officers should be of such a standard
t it would cope with the criminals who are being
sought; that all this department must not in any wa)
be in a position where it will be the spoils of a suc
eessful political campaign.,
It has been suggested that this department be put
pnder the adjutant general’s office. I grant you that
g:emi-mulmry discipline will be needed but there
no place in Georgia for the military department
to successfully take over the enforcement of our
‘eivil law—this to my mind would be far worse than
leaving our highways unpatrolled. ;
~ May I urge upon you to think about this most seri
ous matter as the success of any governmental fune
tion can only be assured by the hearty cooperation
and backing of its citizens.

OPPOSE LIBERAL LINES
’ The leaders of the Republican party are
‘hopelessly divided over the reorganization
of the party on more liberal lines., "The
Borah-Nye movement to reorganize the
party on new and progressive lines met
with overwhelming defeat from the mem
bers of the National Execntive Committee,
the members voting 43 from as many dif
ferent states. There are five states to be
heard from, but with the committee prac
tically vnanimous against the Borah-Nye
liberal party lines, the old timers in the
party will continue in control until the
committee meets next year for planning
the campaign for 1936.
1t ig said that the business element iden
tified with the Republican party is op
posed toany change inthe present platform
and policies, and so long as that element
stands against the reorganization of the
party, there wil: be no changes. However,
with the split as of present time, if it con
tinues through the time for the convention,
there is no telling what will happen. A
conservative candidate will not satisfy the
liberal element and it may be that the
party will split in the convention and nom
inate two candidates for the presidency,
just as was the case in 1912, when Taft
and Theodore Roosevelt were both candi
dates, Taft on the old line Republican
ticll:et and Roosevelt on the Progressive
ticket.
The action of the national committee
clearly indicates that there is no hope for
a reshaping of Republican policies along
advanced lines until a new committee can
be selected coincident with the next na
tional convention in 1936.
AN IMPORTANT HICHWAY |
| The organization of the Calhoun High
'way Association-Georgia division, in this
lcity last Friday evening, blazed the way
for securing the completion of the pave
ment of another trunk highway from the
.east to Athens,
The promoter and organizer for this
meeting, Luther W. Nelson, of the Georgi
an Hotel, is to be congratulated on his suc
cess. The Calhoun Highway Association is
‘one of the oldest organizations for build
/ing highways in the south. The purpose
of the meeting was to bring to the atten
tion of the members of the Georgia State
Highway Board the importance of com
pleting the pavement on this highway in
Elbert and Madison counties connecting
with Clarke county’s pavement. There are
two strips of unpaved highway from El
bert county to Clarke county; one of nine
miles and one of eleven miles. With the
completion of these two small projects, the
Calhoun Highway from the east will be
completed through this state and to Flor
ida and the west. The delegations from El
bert and Madison counties were enthusi
astic over the prospects of early considera
tion+on the part of the members of the
State Highway Board for the letting of
the contracts for these projects. The im
portance of completing and connecting up
of the pavement by the paving of these
links will be urged by the members of the
newly organized association under the di-
Irection and cooperation of former senator,
Walter E. Whitehead, of Carlton, Madison
lcounty. who was chosen president of the
association. -
Meetings of the association will be held
from time to time and an active campaign
conducted for securing early action on the
part of the members of the State Highway
Board for the paving of the proposed pro
jects.
BETTER TIMES ADORN THE HORIZON
Better times adorn the horizon of busi
ness and industry of all lines. Dun and
Bradstreet’s report for the past week is
most encouraging and offers a stimulant
for a revival in business that is new to con
ditions of the past five or six years. In
fact, this commercial agency points to a
realization of favorable business results
which have been estimated as general
throughout the country. Development thus
far in January, states the report, “only
have served to intensify the brightness of
trade aspects for the ensuing year”.
Continuing, the report shows a most op
timistic view of conditions for the new
year. In part, it reads:
“Low inventories in practically all di
visions, the spreading demand for merch
andise of good quality, and the rising em
ployment totals will contribute forcibly to
accelerated production and distribution
e;zendbefore the current quarter will have
closed.
“Instead of dwindling, as was expected,
following the broad scope to which buying
developed during "December, consumer
demand has become constantly stronger
thus far in January. . o
“Running contray to the trend in De
cember, industrial operations now are
forging upward at a swifter rate than dis
tributive totals.
“The response to Jahuary clearances,
which featured retail activity, was more
generous than that accorded such events
in the last three years, but sales of staple
lines at regular December prices contrib
uted heavily to the week’s total. In spite
of less favorable weather, retail sales were
pushed somewhat ahead of last week's
totals.”
From the foregoing predictions and re
views of conditions, coming from such an
authoritative source, business and industry
should take on new life for this year and
break all records for recovery.
Unless all signs fail, and the analysis of
economists and financiers proves false, a
come-back in business is here and here to
stay. The worst is over and now the trend
to an upward climb is rapidly being felt in
business that cannot be mistaken. It is
too patent that the back-bone of the re
action has been broken and from now on
the thorough recovery of business may be
expected. g

DID IT EVER
OCCURTOYOU - -
A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
By HUGH ROWR
The publication of a recent
statement of the Hubert Bank
ing company, showed that in
stitution to be in a most sub
stantial and prosperous condi
tion.
?‘he Hubert Banking company
was establlshed,gn July 1, 1928, by
Mr. J, H. Hubert, well known
banker of this city. Notwithstand
ing the most trying times in the
reaction of business known to this
coutry, this bank has weath?red the
difficulties, and met with success,
showing a splendid growth and
development in every department
of its activities. Mr. Hubert, the
owner of the bank that bears his
name, is one of this city's well
known business men and enjoys the
esteemm and confidence of not only
the patrons of the bank, but of the
general public, ’
It is understcod that quite a
delegation will go from here to
Atlanta Wednesday to attend
the inauguration of Governor
Talmadge for a second term.
Immediately following the inau
guration exercises, Governor and
Mrs Talmadge will hold a recep
tion at the mansion to which all of
tneir friends are invited. It will be
an occasion for the people of Geor
iia to weet the governor and the
first lady of the state, and it is
expected that a large crowd will be
in attendance. The reception will’
be an informal affair and everyone
attending 'will be made to feel at
home. That is the way Governor
and Mrs, Talmadge treat their
friends anq that is why they are
both so popular with the people of
Georgia.
The election for water works
improvement bonds, called by
the mayor and members of the
city council, to be held on Feb
ruary 15, should interest the
entire citizenship.
The amount of proposed bonds to
be issued is $75,000. This amount
of money, it is said will give to
Athens a complete water works
system that will take care of the
growth of the community for sev
eral years to come. However, the
improvements to be made are
necessary at this time in order to
enlarge the system. Our people
should interest themselves in the
bong election by not only casting
their vote for the bonds, but by get
ting as many other citizéens to vote
as is possible.
In order to insure an ade
quate supply of water for new
customers necessary additions
must be made to the present
plant.
For such improvements, the only
source from which the officials can
raise the meney is through a bond
issue and by this bond issue, the
water works system can be ex
panded to meet present and future
demands. The date for holding the
election is only a month off and
during that time, every citizen of
lAthens should qualify and be pre
pared to vote for bonds on Febru
lary 15.
Pormangnt improvements for
municipalities should be at-
tained through the issuance of
bonds. The general fund of
the city is not sufficient to
warrant such outlays,
A careful estimate has been made
of the needs of the water works
system. It {s officially announced
that to complete such improve
ments it will require the sum of
$75,000. The only avenue of hope
that the mayor ang council has is
through the issuance of bonds.

NEWS OF GEORGIA’S
GAME AND FISH
With the congress of the United
States now in session conservation
ists of the nation are wondering
what will be done to further the
cause of utilization of our natural
resources. The establishment of
the Civilian Conservation Corps
was one of the most important
steps ever taken in development of
America’s lands. It has been -said
that the wealth of the nation is
only ten inches deep, Any con
servation program must include
land uses as its important feature.
The work of restoration of the
migratory waterfowl breeding
grounds is of prime importance
and 1935 will probably see great
progress in this work. Soil ereo
sion control will doubtless con
tinue. Game management will be
applied more strictly than ever be
fore. In short, conservation will
go forward rapidly if congress will
make the needed appropriations.

Therefore, this course has been
adopted and by an election called
by the city fathers, the responsibi
lity rest upon the wvoters. They
have been notified officially as to
the needs of the system and the
matter of securing additions and
improvements will be deecided by
the votes of the people on election

NEW YORK—There's a story n
every old building in Manhattan.
And Manhattan has a lot of old
buildings. :
You.can select them practically
at random. Any one of the office
buildings along Broadway is full
of glamor and the spice of show
business and the dust of vanished
dream. Every dingy office has
been a citadel of great ambition;
every corridor a scene of the min
&gling of famed stage and musical
names of one generation or an
other. ;
The dozens of rehearsal halls
have resounded—and still do—to
the thumping of tinny.pianos, the
howls of directors, and the clat
tering feet of panting chours girls.
Many a hit show, assembled on a
shoe-string, has been whipped into
shape in one of these ill-ventilated
practice parlors. And in the dance
studios at one time or another
‘have kicked and shuffled the nim
ble neophytes whose names later
were to go up -in stellar lights.

Stranded Agents
There's the Strand building, the

probably the world’s only office
building in which the elevator beys

Christmas. Some of them, any
way. It's the haven of the wash

Smallest of the small-time agen

booths in the lobby are used as
offices by the theatrical agents
who can’t afford to rent any space

Bohemia
Hop up to Sixty-fifth street and
Broadway and look at the Lincoln
Arcade. Seems a pretty dreary and
undistinguished old shell. A mort
gage recently was foreclosed on it.
The Officé directory lists a spiritu
alist, a health faddist, a school of
jiu-jitsu, and so on. § .2
Yet this used to be the city's
principal art center. A literary
Bohemia, too. Two novels—one,
by Owen Johnson — have been
written about the Lincoln Arcade
and the life there.
Wood Cowan, the cartoonist,
telis me that he and Rolf Arm
strong and Ross Santee and Dean
Cornwall, Craven, the critic, and
a dozen others whose names you
know had studios on one floor.
Rosg Ponselle and her sister were
residents, and Neysa McMein, in
the days when she thought she’'d
be an actress instead of an artist.
Sometimes most of the building’s
occupants would poo]l their money
and have parties.
The sixth and top floor, with its
larger studios, always was — and
still is — oceupied by prominent
artists. I talked to two of the
oldest residents — Graham F.
Cootes; the illustrator, and Albert
of the American Academy.
Once Caught Fire
Cootes lived next door to How
ard Chandler Christy in the lat
ter’'s heydey, when the corridor al
ways was jammed with beautiful
girls clamoring for a chance to
model for him. George Bellow's
studio was down the hall, and Eu
