Decries “Double Standard”
How can a death that results
because of a violation of the law
really be classified as accidental?
When a life is lost because a
law is broken, isn’t it closer to
murder or manslaughter?
In our country, we seem to
have a peculiar double standard
when it comes to the law. Traffic
laws don’t get the same respect
our other laws are accorded.
Many drivers, in fact, actually
take great pride in bragging
about how they break traffic laws
and get away with it.
But the driver who breaks
traffic laws is a potential killer,
and the pedestrian who breaks
the law virtually is committing
suicide.
Such flouting of traffic laws is
a poor example to young people
and contributes to delinquency.
When they see parents and oldst
ers defying traffic laws, they fol
low suit, and statistics show they
are causing a disproportionate
number of accidents.
Urges Stern Justice
That vast majority of driv
ers who are law abiding deserve
protection from the small but
dangerous group of homicidal
highway maniacs.
If this group of potential killers
won’t obey the law voluntarily,,
strict and impartial enforcement
or realistic traffic laws and stern
justice must be employed to deter
them.
The evidence that stepped-up
law enforcement will reduce traf
fic smashups is conclusive. In
every city and in every state
where law enforcement has been
stepped up, the traffic toll has
gone down.
Strict enforcement has paid off.

Must Strengthen Agriculture,
Talmadge Says at Blackshear
Former Governor Herman Talmadge, in a speech
prepared for delivery speaking before the second annual
meeting of the Blackshear-Pierce County Chamber of
Commerce here Wednesday night warned that Georgia
must not let up in her quest for new agricultural growth
and industrial development.
8 cents
“We can all take pride in the
business and industrial expansion
which has taken place in Georgia
during the last decade. We have
seen our State forge steadily
ahead and have seen new
plants come to Georgia represent
ing nearly every large business
and industrial organization in the
country,” he said.
“The fact that latest figures
show that we are breaking all
records for growth in the first
half of 1956 does not mean, how
ever, that we can rest on our ac
complishments. We are not going
to realize continued creation of
this new opportunity the easy
way. It is going to take more
work and vision on the part of
the people, on the part of the
press and other information
media, on the part of Chamber of
Commerce groups such as yours
and on the part of your elected
officials serving at all levels of
the government.”
9 cents
He called for continued efforts
looking toward development of
Georgia’s resources, the attrac
tion of new business and indus
trial development.
The Speaker reviewed the
gains made in industry during
his administration as Governor
and declared that if he is elected
to the Senate he will continue to
work actively with all groups in
terested in Georgia’s advance
ment both industrially and agri
culturally.
He assured his listeners that
he would strive at all times to
protect the free enterprise system
and would resist every attempt
by the federal government to
interfere with state sovereignty.
“Our industrial growth here in
Georgia and in the South has
been occasioned by many factors
such as nearness to raw materials,
excellent and talented labor and
perhaps most important the ex
panding consumer markets of our
area. We do not seek an unfair
advantage over any other sections
of the nation, but we do insist
that no unfair or crippling
restrictions be thrown in our way
to impede the sound economic
growth now being realized by
our people.”
Speaking in the late afternoon
at the South Georgia Farmers
Celebration sponsored by the
Chamber of Commerce, the
former chief executive called for
a bold, new and effective nation
al farm program to put Ameri
can agriculture back on its feet.
He praised tobacco farmers of
the Pierce county trading area
for their enterprise and industry
in utilizing the latest methods of
tobacco production. He assured
them that his good offices are
always available to help get the
best price possible and the most
favorable market for their to
bacco and other crops.
“There is a lot that can still
be done to strengthen agriculture
in America and I am for going
all-out for scientific studies to
determine better methods of pro
duction and uses for farm pro
ducts,” he declared.
“We must strengthen the soil
bank and render it serviceable to
the small farmer, we must
strengthen our soil conservation,
flood and drouth control pro

agricultural experimentation and
research. It has been proved time

Gillis’ prediction was made in a
statement released Sunday, in
which he called for “the largest
vote possible” for Talmadge on
September 12 th.
He declared; “Despite the fact
that the outcome of the primary
is a foregone conclusion, it is es
sential that Governor Talmadge,
if he is to be an effective spokes
man for the viewpoint of Georgia
and the South, go to Washington
with the practically-unanimous
backing of all Georgians. When he
speaks from the floor of the
United States Sentor, it is im

world know that he speaks for
the united people of Georgia.”
Gillis said that Talmadge’s
headquarters has received thou
sands of enthusiastic letters, tele
grams and phone calls, not only
from old friends but from many
Georgians who have never sup
ported the former Governor.
“Our visitors at headquarters,”
he said, “tell us that throughout
the state there is a spontaneous
upsurge of public sentiment in
all walks of life favoring Tal
