Busy At Work On Plans
For Great Victory Loan
Atlanta, Feb. ...—Headquarters ol
the Sixth Federal Reserve District in
Atlanta is almost as busy as though
the campaign were actually under way.
A vast amount of preliminary work
has been made necessary by the indl
vidual quota system to be tried out for
the first time in the South. The “fair
and square” idea is to be carried out
in this, every citizen being assigned a
quota based on bis tax returns and
income. If he regards the quota as
unjust, he has the right of appeal to an
adjustment committee.
The fifth, or “Victory” Loan will be
necessary If the United StateH is to
finish the job it started. The war did
not end with the signing of the armis
tice. It will not end even with the
conclusion of the peace terms. The
war will not be over until the bills
are paid, and it is up to the people oi
the United States to pay them—to
feed the soldiers and bring them
home.
The United States had barely begun
to fight when the armistice was sign
ed, but it had prepared for war on an
enormous scale. This was probably
one of the reasons Germany quit so
suddenly—she saw that Uncle Sam
was going to war on a big scale. And
now the bills must be paid, either by
taxation or Investment. A Victory
bond will be of much more value to all
of us than a stack of tax receipts.
Pinch of Poverty.
Next to the proletariat of India and

SEVEN MILLEQN
U. S. DOLLARS FOR
RGADSJN GEORGIA
But Georgia Will Not Get a Cent
of It Until She Passes High
way Bill Which Suits the
Federal Government
Atlanta, Feb. ... —Under the new
amendment to the federal postoffice
bill in the senate, $7,000,000 is set
aside as Georgia's share of the federal
road fund for this year and the next
two years, dispatches from Washing
ton announce. But none of this money
will be available until Georgia creates
a state highway commission acceptable
to the government, and presents a sys
tem of highway improvement upou
which the federal fund is to be spent.
In the meantime, other states which
have passed the necessary highway
laws will go ahead with their work,
having the first opportunity to engage
engineers, purchase materials and car
ry out their plans.
Advocates of Georgia good roads are
urging Governor Dorsey to call an ex
tra session of the legislature for an
early date, for the express purpose of
taking up the good roads laws and
passing some bill which will assure
work on the roads this summer. Even
if nothing more is done for this year
than to raise the automobile license
tax, as proposed, it will mean many
thousands of dollars made available
for permanent road work. The pro
posed $40,000,000 bond issue must, of
course, go before (he people for rati
fication at the next general election,
but the federal road funds can be
made available before then.
Governor Dorsey, a short time ago,
said he was maintaining an open mind
on the subject of an extsa session, and,
if convinced, it would be best he would
call it. The special committee of he
legislature appointed by him to draft
a highway law will submit its report
to the governor on February 26, and
is expected to include in that report
a recommendation that the extra ses
sion be called. It Is pointed out that
the expense of the proposed session
would be a great deal less than the
loss of even a few months use of Im
proved roads, and that the increase
in automobile license fees this year
wpuld far more than pay for the ses
sion.
