GEORGIA WILL PROBABLY GET
SCHOOL MONEY
The federal affairs committee of
the Georgia legislature that went to
Washington to confer with senators,
congressmen and federal officials on
abuses in filling Georgia FERA po
sitions, returned to Atlanta Sunday.
The legislators announced that
they had assurances that the “abus
es” will be corrected, and issued the
following statement:
"We feel that our visit to Wash
ington has enabled us to secure an
insight into the needed steps to be
taken to enable us to participate in
the governmental activities leading
to recovery.
“We are especially gratified for
the assurance of Honorable Harry
L. Hopkins that the relief adminis
tration in Georgia will be handled so
far a. l possible by Georgia people
and that abuse:; of the relief admin
istration in Georgia will be prompt
ly corrected.
“During our visit we have co-op
erated with Dr. M. D. Collins, Geor
gia slate superintendent of schools,
in His application for $2,500,000 to
keep the schools of Georgia open.
We have ascertained the require
ments of the FERA on the part* of
Georgia to enable us to secure the
money.
“We feel that Georgia will be able
to meet the requirements necessary
and that at an early date our people
will secure this fund.”
THE NEW FARM MARKET BILL
We are not familiar with all the
provisions of the law recently enact
ed by the Georgia legislature, cre
ating eight farm markets in Georgia
and placing them under the control
of the commissioner of agriculture,
but we are inclined to believe it is
a bad bill. The Macon News editor
says it is one of the most dangerous
measures ever enacted In this state.
The bill, which will set up eight
farm markets, presumably an the
either larger cities of the state, will
give the commissioner of agriculture
the authority to fix minimum prices,
to inspect and condemn fruits, vege-
tables and other products offered
for sale, to charge fees for carrying
on the business, to appoint a small
army of inspectors and other em
ployes to manage the markets.
The Macon News says the most
astonishing and arbitrary provision
ef all is that the commissioner of
agriculture is given the power to de
clare when there is enough of fruits
and vegetables in Georgia to supply
the needs of the people, and when
that time comes, or when he thinks
it has come, he is authorized to
place an embargo on the shipment
into Georgia of such products from
ether states.
“Even the attempt to enforce any
such regulation,” says Editor Bayne,
“would call for a host of enforce
ment officers along all the borders
of this state, and we would let our
selves in for a heavy expense with
out getting anywhere. And the first
test case would show that the state
of Georgia has no authority to pass
any such bill.
“But even with this vicious provi
sion omitted, the bill is utterly bad.
It is still as badly tainted with So
vietism as it was when it was first
introduced in the Legislature.
“We have not the slightest doubt
that the bill, fostered by Tom Lin
der, is primarily intended to help
him strengthen his political machine
still further, although it is a matter
of common knowledge that the de
partment of agriculture has been
gangrened with politics as far back
as anybody can remember.”
Newspapers compare favorably
with other enterprises in stability.
“There are now 108 weeklies and 88
dailies in the United States which
have been published for more than
100 years,” states the Morehouse
Enterprise at Bastrop, La. “The old
est of all is the Maryland Gazette at
Annapolis, established in 1727, and
the only American paper to have
passed its 200th birthday. Next in
age is the New Hampshire Gazetxe
at Portsmouth, also a weekly estab
lished in 1756. The oldest dapy is
The Hartford Courant, published
gince 1764.”
MORE COTTON, LESS FOOD
CROPS
Because the Bankhead law per
mit* farmers to plant 25 per cent
more cotton in 1935 than was plant
ed in 1934, the editor of the Carroll
Times thinks there is great danger
that many, especially the big plant
ers, will take advantage of this pro
vision and as a result produce a large
crop, adding to the existing surplus,
which will necessarily bear down the
price. No matter who holds the sur
plus, a surplus always holds the price
down.
Another effect would be the re
duction of the lands planted to food
crops which will increase the cost of
these supplies in the market, thus
make living conditions worse for
laboring people.
"One of the main advantages,”
says the Times, “in the cotton con
trol law was the releasing lands from
cotton so that it could be planted in
food crops, and at the same time
tend to a diversity of crops. It is
to be hoped that lessons learned last
year along these lines will not be
forgotten.
Remember a colUhi crop of 1,100
hales 1c33 thnn the crop of 1932 paid
Carroll farmers nearly a million
dollars more than the 1934 crop.”
FARMERS’ MARKET BILL PASSED
AND SENT TO GOVERNOR
• Governor Eugene Talmadge had
before him Thursday a bill authoriz
ing establishment in Georgia of
eight markets for handling farm pro
duce and giving the commissioner of
agriculture broad powers of regula
tion and price-fixing in the markets.
The senate passed the bill'^ Wednes
day, 33 to 1.
The farm markets measure, one
of the most far-reaching ever pass
ed by the Georgia legislature, gives
the commissioner of agriculture ab
solute control of the trading, hand
ling and sale of farm produce with
in the eight markets, the location of
which has not yet been determined,
and also empowers him to fix mini
mum prices at which such produce
may be sold in the markets.
First attacked in the house as a
piece of “Russian legislation,” sen
timent for the bill swerved sharply
upward after several objectionable
features had been eliminated by
amendments and the measure rode
through the passage easily in both*
houses.
One amendment took away from
the commissioner the right to fix
prices on produce sold outside the
markets and as passed, the bill does
not interfere with the sale direct to
consumers by producers of such pro
duce.
CRISIS IN THE SCHOOLS
According to information that
comes from the national capitol,
Georgia will not receive any federal
funds to keep our schools open and
pay the teachers unless the state and
all its political subdivisions first ex
haust all their resources in raising
funds for education.
Leaders in the Georgia legislature
who have recently visited Washing
ton and learned the requirements of
the FERA to secure funds, have ex
pressed themselves that the state
will be able to meet these require-
ments.
The Macon News contends that
the condition of the public schools
al over the country is serious. “We
are told,” says the News, “ That
thefe are now nearly 4,000,000 chil
dren of school age in this country
who are neither in school nor at
work. According to the National
Education association, more than
5,000 schools will close on March 1
unless federal aid is extended. Mon
ey spent on schools this year will be
$475,000,000 less than in the school
year of 1929-1930. One among
every three school teachers is receiv
ing less than $750 a year and unpaid
salaries amount to more than SIOO,-
000,000. There are now 23,000 few
er teachers employed than in 1932.’

After the discussion of business,
Miss Bates explained to the mem
bers the importance of striving to
reach the goal that has been set up
to provide the food requirements of
the average family, consisting of
orchard, garden, milk, meat and
poultry, and stressed the point that
these things should be provided in
order to have a balanced ration for
the family. Home improvement be
ing the major project, Miss Bates
urged that every home be provided,
with plenty of storage space such as
closets, cabinets built on the, wall,
etc.
After adjournment, cake and cof
fee was served by Mrs. R. M. Laven
der and Mrs. Whitfield.

short Washington program was giv
en.
The meaning of the 4-H’s, Head
for clearer thinking, Heart for great
er loyalty, Hands for larger service,
and Health for better living, was ful

is the club pledge.
An instructive and helpful lesson

the club pledge.
Those present were Doris Butler,
Frances Fleming, Frances Hale,
Dorothy Lavender, Willie Mae Wat
son, Luddie Bell Alford, Vassie Ann
Lavender, Martha Lee Elrod, and
Mrs. Spencer, club sponsor.
An exchange says: “It appears
that at the very time when Governor
Talmadge-was denouncing the ad
ministration at Washington, and tak
ing measures to prevent the state of
Georgia from participating in any
of the benefits of the president’s
$4,880,000,000 fund over which con
gress is now deliberating, he was,
nevertheless, asking the Federal
Emergency Relief administration for
$2,562,000 for the use of the public
schools of Georgia. Such inconsis
tency may well baffle the authorities
at Washington.”

The Gainesville News apparently
does not care so much about paving
the Gainesville-Athens highway. The
editor says paving the Gainesville-
Dawsonville highway should be done
before any attempt is made to have
the Gainesville-Athens highway pav
ed, as it would mean much more to
Gainesville. Probably that is true,
but it would not mean as much to
the traveling public, w’hich should be
given first consideration.
