HIM THROTTLED B 1
GMSW POIITICH
Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Attempt to Build Similar
Despotic Political Ma
chine With Georgia
Money
The bulletins of the Municipal
League of Georgia devote much space
l>n telling the people of Georgia about
bow cheaply water powers have been
developed in Ontario and about the
low rates charged for electric service
-In Ontario, and how the farmers uso
electric current to plow, wash clothes,
roilk the cow and churn.
, Of course the writer of these bullc
lins had to go a long distance from
borne to find the conditions suitable
for a back-ground for his proposed
raid on the treasury of Georgia. On
tario is a great distance from Geor
gia and few Georgians visit Ontario.
Therefore, misstatements and half
truths could be ottered with more
riafoty.
Evidently there is nothing in the
results of ventures by cities in the I
United Stales in Municipal Owner
ship of Public Utilities that appeals
to him. lie did for a while refer to
Seattle's plunge into the street rail
way' 1> isincss, but when Seattle was
forced to raise fares on its municipally
avrned street ear lines and beg tho
at reel car company to return the
bonds paid tho Street Car Company
and take back the system, he* was com
pelled to return to Ontario and its
municipalities, now burdened with ap
palling debt bociitiec of their endorse
ment of a venture in the Socialistic
doctrine of public ownership of pri-
tate business.
The Truth About Ontario
Ontario is a long, long way from
Georgia, and the people in Georgia
rould not know of the complaints of
tommertial bodies about, the poor ser
vice rendered, nor of the political ma
chine, throttling the energies of the
province, nor of the $70,000,000.00 of
expenditures for which the public of
I,he province must eventually be taxed
In addition to paying ever increasing
deficiencies in operating the plants
and selling their products at /css than
rest, nor cf the manipulations of rec
ords necessary to keep these deficien
cies hidden from the people.
Therefore, let us talk about On
tario. One of the greatest water
powers in the civilized world, Niaga
ra Falls, is at Ontario’s door. At
Niagara Falls more power can be de
veloped at less outlay lhan at any
other spot in North America. Tho
Cow of water over Niagara Falls
compared with the flow of the Ft reams
cf Georgia, makes the stream flow in
Georgia appear ridiculous. The
money n.-res.-ary to build a dam which
In Georgia impounds the flow of one
nmnll stream, would at Niagara Falls
produce four times as much horse
power, and storage dams, absolutely
neceseury in Georgia to hold water
for dry seasons, are unnecessary at
Niagara Falls. In Georgia all the
real commercial water powers are in
the hill country, near the head waters
of th** rivers, where the volume of
water n comparatively small. The
r.treams i f Georgia during dry peri
ids become small and the develop
ment of a large and reliable quantity
vf power requires great engineering
r.kill and large expenditures of money.
Many dams must be built, some for
generating stations and some to store
large bodies of water, for use during
Ibe dry reason. '• If Georgia had
Niayurit Falls wit kin one hundred
millx ( i Atlanta, the cost of develop
ivy i o trie power would be greatly
fit creat ed.
Destructive Policy
"The Hydro-Electric Conn ission~trf
Oi.lari ' is ihe pal! cm after which
the Mur.i i.ml League if Georgia is
draw};. The Cnla;ii Commission has
Umi i:i i xislante about fourteen
years, jind up to 1920 had developed
less than G l.oi e power, but in
the meantime, i: Imd sandbagged tho
private eompnnie ; which had develop*
Hi water powers in that territory and
forced vhem to accept wliatever price
the Como ission felt disposed to offer
for their properties, and had taken
over many < L the privately owned
properties. Is; policy has been de
structive, not ebjvtructivc.
Of cour a, the Province of Ontario
and its niun.i, ipalilics put up the
looney for these so-called purchases,
Lad a proposed system < f radial rail
ways, and have i red I nua io vaisu
laoney to the e tent if something
over §70,000,000.00, r.r.d lieeauro of
Ihis enormous debt the credit cf tho
Province of Ontario is impaired. Tho
Hydro-Electric Commission ef On
tario is entangled in noKtics and its
Krvico has become so inadequate, in
tfficicnt and unsatisfactory that corn
plaints by commercial bodies are fre
<p;er.t. The political Influence of the
Jiydio-Filrctric Commission is for
nidnble tint any effort to regulate it
M abortin'.
This is exactly what Messrs.. Key,
Eagan and Jackson want to bring
übout in Georgia. They u-ish t j
build a political machine which will
control Georgia in.d pave the way
(or Sr'iatism, and they want the pub
ic to furnish them the money with
which to do it.

A LOSS OF BILLIONS IN ONE
YEAR
(Manufacturers Record.)
In his annual report the Comp
troller o fthe Currency estimates
that “the melting away of property
values,” a* a result of deflation, lias
amounted in the last year, in this
country alone, to from $12,000,000,-
000, to $18,000,000,000. The Re
serve Bank of Richmond reports
that during this same period its
profits amounted to more than 100
per cent of its capital.
The Comptroller argues that the
country will not be on a firm foun
dation "Until one dollar buys about
as much as it commanded in pre-war
days. The fixed charges of the
Government are as great this' year
as they wire last year. There are
fewer dollars. Every dollar is
charged with a greater shave of the
cost of government. The dollar will
never again have the value i thad
in 1913 unless there is a general
repudiation of debts.

Rheumatism Comes
From Tiny Pain Germs
First of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments
in the world have no effect what
ever on Rheumatism.
Avery common form of Rheu
matism is caused by millions of
tiny disease gems which infest the
blood. The one and only sensible
treatment, therefore, is one which
cleanses the blood of these germs,
and routs them entirely out of the
circulation.
LET’S CRACK OUR OWN NUTS
Do you remember the story of the
Little Boy who asked Another Boy
to crack his nut for him? The other
Boy agreed’to crack the nut if he be
allowed to divide it. It was divided
—but the other boy got the kernel
and the Little Boy got the hull.
Moral: Crack your own nut. .
Co-operative marketing is the
nut-cracker for the farmer to use.
He has been getting the hull and the
other fellow the kernel long enough
now.—The Progressive Farmer.
