SELLING AGENTS
by-passing towns
(From Dallas Morning News)
Highways are the one part of the
general transportation system which
local taxpayers subsidize, and sub
sidize heavily. That being so, resi
dents of the smaller towns and cities
deserve full consideration when they
present their view's and wishes to
designers of highway master plans.
Even if such demands might mar
the most perfect of engineering
plans, they should be given due
weight, Roads, after all, are built
to serve man, not to prove ideal con
cepts of technical efficiency.
Local residents, on the other hand,
are not always fully aware of their
own best interests in the matter of
highway locations. As wheels thick
en on intrastate and interstate
routes, they become increasing men
aces te life and peaceful living in
the centers split by them. The day
undoubtedly is approaching in Tex
as when express highways will be
built to carry this flood of traffic
and freight at the safest distance
possible from the homes and local
centers of population. This will
leave existing and new lanes for
more leisurely and less congested
use and enjoyment.
In the meantime, improvements
and realignment of cardinal highways
should proceed with due regard both
to the views of local taxpayers and
to the demands of heavy traffic ef
ficiency and control. This calls for
some sacrifice and compromise in
both viewpoints.

CONSCIENCE FUND
In a recent letter received by the
treasury department from a con
scious stricken individual, he said:
“In a separate package I am send
ing you $30,000 to be added to the
conscience fund. This amount
makes a sum aggregating SBO,OOO
which I have sent the United States,.
or four times the amount I stole
years ago. I have hesitated about
sending all this money because I
think it does not really belong to the
government, but conscience has
given me no rest until I have con
summated the four-fold return like
Zaccheus, the publican of old.” The
“conscience fund” in the United
States treasury now amounts to
$037,000.

Youths Lead in Georgia
Crime
“Survey of Criminal Court Pro
cedure in Georgia,” covering a 10-
year period, just completed after 12
months of work by some 260 em
ployes of the Works Progress Ad
ministration, brings out these start
ling facts:
Violation of the prohibition law'
comprised 30 per cent of the bur
den of the courts since January of
1926. . .
In all the counties in the state
except two, violation, of the prohibi
tion law headed the docket of the
county courts. . .
Forty per cent of grand jury in
dictments never come to trial, and
only 66.4 per cent of the cases tried
in Superior Court result in con
victions. : .
Of 17,000 felony cases committed
to the state penitentiary, 4,000
escaped and only half were recap
tured.
Of 1,247 convicted murders, 123,
or 8.9 per cent, were electrocuted,
and 179, or 14.2 per cent, were par
doned, paroled, or their sentence
was commuted.
In one large urban county bond
forfeitures were set aside in 5,000
out of 7,000 cases where the person
under bond failed to appear at
court. In one rural county 36 de
fendants in criminal cases were not
in jail when court convened and
one-third were out on their own re
cognizance. . .
Three of the four leading bonds
men in one county were found to
have police records themselves. . .
Eroad Study
Sponsored by the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare and a com
mittee composed of Lawrence Camp,
U. S. District Attorney; Judge John
D. Humphries, of the Superior
Court, and Ben T. Watkins, of Ma
con, former president of the Georgia
Peace Officers’ Association, the sur
vey is based on a study of 235,000
criminal cases in 57 counties over a
10-year period ending in December
of 1935.
From January of 1926 to De
cember of 1935, 17,336 cases were
admitted to the state penitentiary.
Slightly more than 5,000 of them
were under 21 years of age. An
other 5,000 were between 20 and 25.
Analysis of more than 150,000
jail cases in 27 counties showed the
age of these offenders closely paral
leled the figures for the penitentiary
offenders.
“These figures,” the survey states,
“add further weight to the con
clusion that crime is a youth prob
lem.”
Farm youths who find a living
hard to get during a period of
economic stress, city youths who
find jobs few and poorly paid, drift
into crime lured by false promises
of less arduous living and greater
financial rewards, the survey point
ed out.
RODENT CONTROL IS

Rodent control, by destruction of
rats and rat-proofing of buildings,
is being emphasized by the state
public health authorities to combat
the spread of typhus fever in Geor
gia.
Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, state pub
lic health director, Saturday cited
the increase in the number of cases
of typhus fever since 1929, when 57
cases and one death were reported,
to 1936, when there were 817 cases
and 42 deaths.
Typhus fever is spread by fleas
on rats and is a disease mainly of
the late summer and fall months, af
fecting persons of all ages.
Red squill poison, which can be
used without fear of injury to cats,
dogs, chickens and livestock, is de
scribed by Dr. Abercrombie as an
effective means of destroying rats.
Elimination of rubbish heaps and
rat-proofing of buidings is being
urged in the campaign of rodent
control.
