prison aythorities, j
Believing that prisoners general- |
ly are human beings, the state has|

program. The experiment, design- |
ed to rehabilitate inmates, is rap- |
idly spreading over North (‘uru-’
lina prison camps.
Prisoners, whose activities here
tofore have been limited to their|
daily duties and the cell block, |
now have a new interest open to|
them. Leisure time is being ab- |
sorbed with healthy, morale-build- |

school subjects. Prison bands also |
are planned. ’
The program of classwork and |
recreation was begun recently ati
Camp Polk near Raleigh, where|
youthful violators are imprisoned. |

election, the governor continued:
| “Boys, let them know when they
;(cnmv back home that you don't
send congressmen to Washington
:to reprasent the highway depart
'ment of Georgia, but that you
'send them up there to keep the
'tax burden off the poor.”
} Vidalia 18 one of severa]l Georgia
communities counting tobacco asa
major crop. The leaf went on
gale in 89 warehouses over the
state today.
The governor, like Howell and
Linder, scored federal taxes, say
ing “this system in Washington is
making peons of the farmers of
this country.” He added:
“The farmer in Georgia has pro
duced this season’s tobacco crop-—
estimated at 50,000,000 pounds. It
has cost him at least 33 1-3 per
cent more to produce the tobacco
this year than last year. This ad
ditional cost is on account of the
advance in the price of things that
the farmer had to buy”.
Taxed Ten Times
The total tax on tobacco, he
said, is ten times the original price
paid the farmer for the leaf.
Scoring national policies in gen
eral, Commissioner Linder said
“government control of agriculture
has ied us into the most foolish
practices.” He branded federal
agents as “Business Philistines”
and urged that they be “driven
out.”
“Let's cut out this foolishness,”
Linder interjected. “Tet's restore
the God-given brain of the people
as dictators of what they shall do.
fLet's restore the farmer to inde
pendence.”
The farmers, he charged, have
been put to farmers as share crop
pers, on rented land, with “fed
eral agents coming around to
measure off the land and tell them
what to plant.”
Praising the effieiency of the
Georgia highway department, How
ell pictured Georgia as the leading
state of the union. He pleaded
for adherence to the United States
consttution, for “preservation of
state rights” and said:
“If the federal government at
Washington were one-tenth as
honest, efficient and economical as
the present state government of
Georgia, it wouldn’t be long until
the entire country would blossom
like the rose and flourish” with
prosperity.”
Processing Taxes
Scoring the federal processing
taxes, Governor Talmadge esti
mated Georgla farmers would pay
$2,100,000 on this years tobacca
crop, figured at 4.2 cents of each
of the estimated 50,000,000 pounds
“TPhat much goes out of Georgia
into Washington on the tobacco
crop alone,” the governor said,
“this much is being taken f{rom
the price the farmer should have
and sent to the coffers of the fed
eral government.
“The total of tax?s on tobacco
is ten times the griginal prices
paid the farmers,
“While we are speaking of pro
cessing taxes, let’s figure on the
cotton erop. Georgia’s allotment
this vear was 984,000 bales. Fig
nri‘ng thig at 4 and a fourth cents
a pound. The farmers of Georgia
will pay $20,910,000 tax on cotton.

The compromise suggestion
came from the senator shortly
| after President Roosevelt had let
it be known at his press confer
ence that he considered efliciency
| ¢t Georgia’s road building orgun
lizulion the real issue in the fed
| eral-state highway dispute.
| As this information came »1%
| Governor Eugene Talmadge in At
| lanta countered with the question,
“What does he mean by that?
| Does he mean Ball's Ferry is out
| of the picture ”
| The governor referred to the
| bridge project which the Bureau
of Roads has asked be included
| in the state’s program but which
| the Georgia highway board has
refused to initiate.
| *“T might have something to
say,” Talmadge said, “if thev'll
| let me know that formally and be
{ more explicit.”
| Indications were that George's
proposal for a compromise might
‘be favorable to other members of
r the Georgia ccngressional delega

{ commission will refuse to assent”

| Deen of Alma, Ga., said today. “It
| should be accepted by the president
gand the Georgia highway{ board: ~I
| want to see the state’s rdad money”
’let looge at once.”
| Deen was one of the eight Geor
