POLITICS AND RELIGION
The greatest welcome and demon
stration ever given by Georgians to
any man vas that accorded last Fri
day in Atlanta to the President of
these United States, Franklin D.
Koosevelt. Thousands and thousands
from this and other States greeted
him. Men, women and children all
vied with each other in bestowing
honor upon the greatest and noblest
ruler living upon this earth today
and wieiding the scepter of power
and authority over human beings.
Seven other Presidents have visited
Georgia, but no reception ever given
any other chief magistrate of this
commonwealth was comparable to
the tremendous gathering and un
bounded enthusiasm shown this man,
the friend of the people. The near
est approach to the great enthusiasm
for Mr. Roosevelt was in 1887, when
Grover Cleveland came to Georgia.
He was the first Democrat elected
President since the War Between
the States. This State had passed
through these dark and miserable
days of reconstruction, and had en
dured trials, tribulations, injuries
and insults under Republican rule.
So when a Democratic President
visited Georgia, the pent up feelings
against the party which had been so
long in power was made manifest by
a demonstration of unsurpassed
friendship and affection for the great
Democratic Chieftain. However, the
number of people in Atlanta on that
occasion was small compared with
the immense crowd in Atlanta last
Friday to greet the greatest humani
tarian executive this world has to
day. As one great speaker at the
recent session of the North Georgia
Conference said, “He has put men
above money.” If any one had any
doubt about how Georgia feels to
wards this unselfish and noble Ameri
can, his visit to Georgia dispelled it
beyond any question. November
29th is a day that will ever live in
Georgia history.
The crowd that met the President
in Atlanta was handled in a syste
matic and satisfactory manner.
Much of the credit for thfe particu
lar part of the program is due to
the Mayor of Atlanta, James L. Key,
who is one of the most efficient ex
ecutives at the head of any city
government. For many years he has
been Mayor of Atlanta, and has ad
ministered the affairs off the city
faithfully, efficiently and honestly.
Hie seemed glad to render a service
for the welcome of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, for whom he has great
affrnrration. Mayor Key gave a
banquet in honor of Hon. Erie
Cooke, general chairman f the en
tire jprogram of welcome to Presi
dent Roosevelt. Speakers at the
banquet all lauded Mr. Codke for the
pan flayed by him in this program.

When it comes to analysing legis
lation ir interpreting a political situ
ation, 3talph Smith, columnist of the
Atlanta Journal, is a past -master.
When congress was in session Ralph
was in as representative
of the Journal. When pecqile were
in doubt about the action tff con
gress an seoine question, he could al
ways give to the reading public the
facta. When some question .-arose
about the effect of some measure
passed by congress, he could and did
give the coorrect interpretation.
Since the iPresident has been at
Warm Springs, Ralph has been with
him, and he has told more of the
happenings thace than the reader
has been able to get from any other
one source.
The energetic, glever and efficient
Tax Collector of Jackson, Mr. A. S.
,'Johnson, was showing to some Jack
son county citizens this week com
parative figures of the amount of
taxes collected in this f ounty to No
vember the 18th each .year for the
past three years and for the present
year. These amounts include state,
county <uid school taxes. In 1932,
to November the 18th, the total tax
es collected of that year's levy a
piounted to $2,794.20. In 1033, to
the same date the amount collected
was $7,346.98. In 1934, the total
collections to the date above men
tioned were $7,989.01. In 1935, the
total collections to the same above
named date in November are $17,-
563.16. The collections this year
are just $567.03 less than the total
collections for the three previous
’ *'-ove. This shows (
M finaflcial j
SINGLE COPY sc.
condition of the people. In all pro
bability, the collections this year
would probably have been much
greater than shown by the above fig
ures if the Legislature had made
an appropriation. Some people are
slow about paying taxes this year,
because they do not know how their
money will be spent. Talmadge
says he will assume full responsibili
ty for paying out this money. If he
can do so, there are few restrictions
on him. He will spend just as he
pleases to do. Not knowing how nor
where their money will be spent,
some tax payers are reluctant to pay
any state taxes at present time.
J t X
This writer has said, and will re
iterate, that there is nothing either
in the Constitution or laws of Geor
gia, allowng or authorizing the Gov
nor to spend the State’s tax money
without it first being appropriated by
the Legislature. The last Legisla
ture failed to pass an appropriation
bill, so prominent legislators say,
largely through the influence of
Talmadge. He wants to spend the
money just as he well pleases. He
wants these autocratic and dictatorial
powers for which he is so hungry.
The Legislature ought to be called
into extra session. The President of
the Senate, Charles D. Redwine, and
Speaker of the House, E. D. Rivers,
should exercise their influence with
Senators and Representatives to sug
gesting to them the signing of a
petition to the Governor, urging him
to call the extra session. The mem
bers of the General Assembly have
no doubt a patriotic desire to see
the tax money spent in an orderly
and legal way, and every member of
this body should urge the Governor
to'have the Legislature meet in ex
tra ordinary session. If this is not
done, hundreds of tax payers may
refuse to pay State taxes at all.
An analysis of the North Georgia
Conference at its recent session
shows the following members of this
body who were reared in this coun
ty: W. H. Venable, Guy Pittman, R.
F. Elrod, T3. W. Hancock, Nat G.
Long, A. P. Watkins, A. D. Echols,
W. T. Watkins, and H. C. Holland.
Of these, A. D. Echols has been a
superannuate for a year, and R. F.
Elrod took these relations this year.
J. W. G. Watkins, the blind Chap
lain of the Senate for forty-three
years, -who departed this life this
year, was a native son of Jackson
county. Of the above, Nat G.
Long preaches in the most beauti
ful church building of the confer
ence, the Glenn Memorial of Atlanta,
and to owe of the mostjerudite con
gregation* of Southern Methodism,
the members of the faculty and stu
dents of Emory University. W. T.
Watkins ite editor of the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate, in addition to
being a member of the faculty of
Emory University. He served sev
eral years as a pastor. W. P. King,
editor of the Nashville Advocate and
book editor for Southern Methodism,
though not a native of Jackson coun
ty, once lived in Jefferson. So also
did his brother, George L. King, pas
tor at West Point. Rev. J. B. Allen,
a superannuate, came to Jackson
county for his life companion. It
can, therefore, be seen from the a
bove list of dble ministers of the
North Georgia Conference, that
Jackson county has done a great
part in furnishing preachers to this
conference.
CITY OF COMMERCE TO VOTE
ON BOND ISSUE
An election will be held in Com
merce on December 27 for ( the pur
pose of determining whether the city
shall issue bonds in the principal
sum of $20,000 for the purpose of
erecting and equipping a school
building. The United States gov
ernment, through the I’WA, will
give the <ity $30,600, provided $20,-
000 are raised.
The Commerce News says: “There
is no need to set forth reasons why
we should have a high school build
ing. The extreme need is apparent
to even a casual observer and any
who are in doubt will be convinced
by a visit to our present school build
ing when school is in session. The
city will never again have an op
portunity to obtain sueh a grant as
is nw theirs and it is unbelievable
that the bond issue will qot be yoted
uppq unaijjjnously.”

COTTON INCOME
GAINS IN STATE
SHOWN BY COBB
Georgia farmers during the past
three years of the cotton control
program, have received a total of
$33,786,037 in rentals and benefits,
exceeding the value of the 1932
crop by more than $1,000,000, ac
cording to Cully A. Cobb, director of
the cotton division of the AaA.
In a statement Saturday, Mr. Cobb
pointed out that the 1932 crop, made
before control was inaugurated,
brought Georgia farmers $32,557,-
000. The average value of the cot
ton crops during the past three years
has been $82,747,000, and the value
of the present crop is estimated at
$92,092,000.
“Only the willfully blind or those
who have axes to grind are unable
to see these results,” Mr. Cobb re
marked.
“Georgia is now completing the
harvest of the fourth largest per
acre cotton yield in history,” he
said.
“While this fact is significant, it
is all the more significant that the
yield per acre in Georgia during
1933, 1934 and 1935, the three years
of the present cotton program, have
been the three highest consecutive
yields per acre in the history of the
state.
“It is also most significant that
total income from cotton, including
lint, seed, rental and benefit pay
ments, has during the past three
years averaged more than two and
one-half times what the crop brought
in 1932, the year before our pro
gram was started. The 1932 crop
brought a total of $32,557,000. The
average for the crops of the past
three years has been $82,747,000,
with an estimated total income from
the crop of the present year of $92,-
092,000.
“The crop of the past three years
has not only had an average value
2 1 4 times as great as the crop had
in 1932, but has been produced on
less acres of land, and at a greatly
reduced outlay of cash and labor,
and at the same time enabling many
women to stay out of the field and
children to go to school.
“What this added income has
meant to cotton farmers and to busi
ness in Georgia finds expression in
continuously improving business con
ditions since the program got under
way. In many ways, as we approach
the end of 1935, we approach the
end of one of the best business years
in the history of the state. No fact
is more significant than the general
feeling of security now felt every
where. There was neither security
nor feeling of security in the spring
of 1933. In my judgment, this feel
ing of security will continue, and
security itself will continue just so
long as cotton producers are pros
perous.”
