RONS ARE READY
TO GET TO WORK
Complete Organization
And Embark On
Useful Career
On Thursday evening at its regu
lar weekly luncheon at tne Tea Room,
the Americus Lions Club completed
its organization, with a full attend
ance of its charter members.
After singing several selections
from the club songs, the meeting was
called into business session and the
following aifficers were elected:
Dan Chappel, president.
George B. Turpin, vice-president.
Ernest L. Carswell, second vice
president. m
W. E. Rogers, third vice-president.
Chas. M. Hall, secretary.
C. A. Ames, treasurer.
Fred Davenport, lion tamer.
Nat. LeMaster, tail twister.
Directors: Judge J. A. Hixon, T. C.
Pool, Wade H. Morris, Ferdinand
Cohen.
The club has been a success from
the start and will begin at once to
take active interest in all civic activ
ities. The club starts out with bril
liant prospects and promises to be
one of the strongest civic organiza
tions in Sumter county.
Meetings will be held weekly on
Thursday evenings at 6:30 at the
Tea Room where special arrange
ments have been made to take care
of the club luncheons.
Arrangements are now being per
fected for the delivery of the club
charter, which will be presented in a
short time by J. R. Smith, president
of the Atlanta Lions Club, who will
come to Americus for that purpose
accompanied by a large delegation
from the Atlanta club.
All the members of this new club
are leaders in their respective line
of business and are men that with
ideas that lead along the channel of
the better sort—men who are just
waiting for an opportunity like this
to render service to the community.
The aim of the Lions Club here is
going to be like the farmer who
wanted “to buy more land to raise
more corn, to feed more hogs to get
more money to buy more land.” They
want to make more lions to make bet
ter citizens to make a better city to
"reduce better men to make more
lions.

ATLANTA, March 11.—Organiza
tions of advisory boards in every
communitv in the South that the
work of relief may be extended to
cover the entire country, is contain
ed in the Salvation Army Home Ser
vice Program for 1921. Work to
wards forming the boards in Geor
gia, Florida, North and South Caro
lina has already begun.
Heretofore the civilian relief work
of the Salvation Army has been con
lined largely to the social problem
arising in the vicinity of the corps
headquarters located in the more
populous centers. Under the new
plan the advisory boards will be in
touch with local conditions in every
community and any problems which
cannot be solved locally will be re
ferred to pn expert sent from the
nearest corps headquarters. The
work of the Army, as in the past, will

TAX-PAYING PUBLIC
Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Trying to Repeat Seattle
Fiasco at the Expense
of Tax Payers
Just about one year ago the City of
Seattle bought the Electric Street
Railway operating on its"streets, be
cause the Street Railway Company
"ould not continue operating its car.
at. 5 cent fares, and were prevented
from increasing fares to meet in
'.•reas'd expenses, and because the ad
voiates of Municipal Ownership a.-
sured the public that the Comnan
was making enormous profits an
were exaggerating the expense <
operation. The City chose the a<
countants that the advocates of Muni
cipal Ownership selected to apprais*
the value of the property.
$ 15,000,000 for Car Lines
Their accountants found that tie
street car lines in the City of Seatth
had cost in money, av.tualiy cost—
-515,000,000.60
The City paid for the f?rce‘. Rail
way by an issue of bonds umnunt.in,
to $15,000,000.00, bearing 5% per an
num interest.
The City commented operating th<
Street Railway without any taxes t*
nay; with no legal expenses to pay
because the City Attorney's Offiei
handled the legal business; -will
practically no damage suits t<"pa?
as nobody could succe:-.Tully col.e
damages from the City.
Car Fares Advanced
After a short experience in opera'
ing the street cars at 5 cents tl
fare was advanced to 10c cash wi
tickets at C'.jc, but still the detici
continued to pile up, and the servi •<
continued to become worse.
The Mayor and Council ar? nov
considering an advance in the s‘ree
car fare to 10 cents cash will
tickets at 8 l-3c. This increase i.
pending and probably will be adop ed
but even it will only postpone th
fipal complete breaking of the system
because of incompetent political man
agement. The Municipal Street Rail
ways are now $500,000.00 behind, an<
after December 10th. 1920, their em
ployees are to be paid by th' i.’.suanc
of City warrants; there will be a
additional deficit January Ist, 192*
of $1,610,452.00.
Sick of Their Bargain
The City of Seattle, represented bj
its Mayor and Council, have recent);
been Irving to get ‘he original owner;
to take back the street railway sys
tern and return the bonds which fh<
City paid them. Suggestions that
legal proceedings he instituted tn
force the original owners to do so are
discouraged by the t'ity Attorney,
only because such an effort is in his
opinion illegal.
In the meantime the street car ser
vice is curtailed, and the public is
inconvenienced.
■ The irresponsible agitators who ad
vacated the purchase of the street
railway by the City of Seattle have
lost nothing, and they cannot be
prosecuted or punished, or sued for
damages, for- misleading the p bli
by their false statements as to the
remits of Municipal operation, but
the citizens of Seattle Rave before
them years of heavy taxation to take
care of interest and the constantly
increasing deficit caused by giving
street car service at less than cost,.
and it will each day. each month and
each year, continue to cost mere and
the service will continue to get worse.
Experiment a Failure
Seattle’s experiment in Municipal
Ownership is a miserable failure.
The people were first embittered
against the Street Car Company by
falsehoods and then the advocates of-
Municipal Ownership «.'»re •b’e to ac
complish their design, which was and
always will be to, “Exploit the Pub
lic”. The ultimate and secret creed
of these people is to destroy the
American system of Government and
substitute socialism, and in Seattle
they wtre cunning enough to induce,
the. people to furnish them the money
to work with. ...
Spend State’s Money Instead
of Their Own
The same brand of cunning so
cialists are preaching the same doc
trine in Georgia, and they are plan
ning to get ten times as. much of the
public money as their brethren got in
■Seattle. They call it State and Muni
cipal Ownership. They tell you of
the water power development they
would undertake with the State’s
money, bat they don't tell you of any
water power that they are going to
develop w ith their own money.
Their maps show many ’ thousands
of horse power in Georgia yet und«-
veloped. Why, do they come begging
the State to allow them to raid the
Treasury and use the money of the
tax payers for their experiment in
socialise?
(Advertisement.)
not interfere with other agencies,
but will co-opcrate with them wher
ever possible.
The problem of finding missing !
persons and looking after those |
from the smaller towns found in des- j
titute circumstances will be greatly
facilitated through the advisory
boards as every neighborhood in the
country will have active representa
tion from the Army. Other func
tions of the board will be the dis
covery and report to Army officials
of eases requiring removal to homes
and institutions other than locally
provided.
Each community board will be
composed of ten to fifteen members,
from various positions in life, so
that ail the interests of the commun
ity will at all timep be under close
observation and cases needing relief
may be found and reported immed
iately.
The advisory board will be divided
into sub-committees on organization,
executive, education, service, finance,
with the officers ex-officio members
of the committees.
