THE TAX PAYERS
OF GEORGIA WILL
NOT STAND FOR IT
The Times is in receipt of ennv of
a proposed nmendmetnt to the Consti
tution of Georgia, which is so outru
gi*ous in its provisions that it is hard
to conceive that any reputable repre
sentative should be willing to intro
duce it in the legislature, either
branch; but they will, for all men do
not see alike and it is well that we do
not.
This proposed amendment provides
for the creation of u commission and
heaven knows that already we have
too many of them) to be known a sthe
“Hydro Electric l’ower Commission,”
with authority, by and with the ap
proval of the Governor to incur debt
in the name of the State, for the pur
pose of purchasing, leasing or con
structing, operating and maintaining
public utilities, such us water works,
street railways and plants for the
generation, transmission, distribution
and sale of electric or other light, heut
and power, and transmission lines, or
other means lor the transmission, dis
tribution and sale of light, heat und
power however generated.
It is prooposed to amend section 3,
article 7, of the constitution by adding
the following words, namely:
"Paragraph 2. Provided that the
General Assembly may by law create
a Commission to Ik* known us the
‘Hydro Electric Power Commission of
Georgia’ and authorize said Commis
sion to purchase by condemnation or
negotiation, lease or construct, and
maintain and operate public utilities
such as water works, street railways,
plants for the generation, transmis
sion and sale of electric or other light,
heat and power, and transmission lines
or other means for th ( . distribution and
sale of light, heat and power however
generated, and for this urpose the Gen
eral Assembly may authorize said Com
mission by and with the approval of
the Governor of tin* State to incur debt
in the name of the State, said debt or
debts so incurred to be for such sums
and, if secured to be secuml after such
manner, and to Ik* paid principal and
interest at such times and such places
and from such sources and upon such
terms ns the General Assembly may
prescribes.”
When the loyal and patriotic sons
of Georgia had thrown off the carpet
regime that afflicted and burdened the
state after the close of the war, led
by such men as Gen. Robert Toombs
and many others of the state's wisest
and best men, a convention assembled
in Atlanta 1877 and framed a consti
tution noted for the wisdom of its pro
visions, especially those safe guarding
the p*ople against burdensome and un
just taxation. These men had borne
and groaned under the burdens of tax
ation put upon them by ignorant, vi
cious and corrupt officials as few peo
ple e ver before hud borne. They knew
what licensed corruption could do, what
it had done from 1805 to 1875 and they
determined to safe guard their children
for all times against unscrupulous men
and unnecessary debt, by providing
against it and engrafting these provis
ions, in the fundamental laws of the
state.
This constitution lias stood the test
of nearly the half a century and under
its wise provisions Georgia lias pros
pered as few other states have prosper
ed. Let us continue in the path that
their wisdom, directed by experience,
chose for ns: We know that it is safe.

Women and Cigarettes.
The follow lug .caption and squib oc
curred in a Colorado paper late in 1919:
“Girl Smoking Cigarette Gives Officer
a Shock.”
Denver, Col., Dec. 14. —Can a girl
take u deep inhalation from a cigar
ette, toss it on the pavement, stamp out
the tire with the French heel of a shoe
that looks like one of those sl2 a pair
kind, and do it all without violating
any of the varied statutes on the books
of Denver and Colorado? That’s what
officer McDonald, who directs traffic at
Fifteenth and Welton streets, wants to
know, and he’s going to find out, by
gum. if he has to go through all the le
gal volumes of the city hall to do it.
Officer McDonald saw a girl do just
that thing and didn’t like it at all. He’s
the sort of a man who believes woman’s
place is in the home and the passing of
the old-fashioned grandmother gives
him a pang.
In In connection with the above we
received the following epistle:
“On wun occashun, the undersined
without a wush or an effort on his pnrt,
discivered that a certain lady of high
repute, and a notid writer, smoked her
package of cigrets ur nite er about so;
and that made the old fogy laff and
wush he wuz a poet, though taint every
man can be a poet, nor mor’n a sheep
can be a goat. Jist to think of sieh er
thing! A woman, a good woman too,
and a leadin’ woman, flrin up her brane
with cigrets while writin’! And the obi
fogy said to hisself: “I’ll be blnmed ef
I don’t try my hand at poetry wonst
in life, ef it eostes me my repertation.
Ho, under the Insplrashun of that ’ere
informashun, he sot rite down at the
fust opportunity and writ the foller
ing poetry, sieh as it is;
Hhe’s a tine Christian lady and a widder
with regrets,
Her hooks ar interistin’ but she smoke
cigrets.
Well, mini puff pipes and cigars, and
choo, and bandy bets,
An’ cuss an’ whittle boxes —they, too,
smoke cigrets.
It sturs Imaginashun, an’ drives ’way
tryiu’ frets,
While pennin’ her good, flxion—her
whiffen cigrets.
Hh.’ may not want the francti <e, l or
l.upe up suffagets,
Nor ape men's weak besetments, hut
she smokes her cigrets.
Femails ar more protected. :ho the
sexes dance in sets,
By church, home, state, than mails
from cigrets.
Don’t blame the double standard fer
demerits an’ brevets —
Men kno’ wiinin ar better, e’en tho
some smoke cigrets.
Most men ar rugged and some can t pay
their debts
While weeker vessuls rite and clerk
and puff cigrets.
Mean men look down on womanhood;
Weak men make them pets;
Good wimen teach them bettur by de
nouncin cigrets.
The gurls drink Koki Coly and spends
up all she gets,
The yutli waists cash on folly and kills
branes with cigrets.
They keep up lierbilities and ne'er get
true assets,
'Cnze the dope is her mastur, an’ he
serves his cigrets.
Ef these two shuld git married, alwaze
blonds with broonettes,
Hi* runs civieks an’ bizness, she keep
house an’ not betts).
Their home tilled with chilluns, all
nuns an’ none triplettes.
Love, wurk. cash, clothes fur each won,
but nun fer cigrets.
Thar sure would be better times, more
virtue, less regrets.
Than thar would be if all our wimmen
smoked cigrets.

If Money Grew on Trees, Some
People Would Have None
During the period of high prices, wages were high,
profits high and almost every man and woman had
money. Money to burn and almost as easy to get as if
it actually “grew on trees.”
The scene has changed and the trees have ceased to
bear fruit —very few have any ready money. Only the
ones who set aside some of the easy money on a Savings
*
account are at ease now.
Have we learned the lesson that no matter how plen
tifully we may be supplied and no matter how easy the
fruit may be gathered some of it should be preserved
and laid away for the cold days when nothing can be
produced.
The time to preserve and prepare for such days is
now. A small part of your earnings placed on Savings
account will not be missed and will always be at your
call in times of distress.
Join our army of satisfied Savings Depositors and be
prepared with a reserve when an emergency arises.
Interest will be paid on all our deposits July Ist.
Open an account by July sth and anticipate January
dividend period and you will never regret the staid.
