NO AREA ON
EARTH ITS EQUAL.
The South “has a greater com
bination of natural advantages
that any other (.equal area on
earth,” says Richard 11. Edmonds,
editor of the Manufacturers Rec
ord, in a letter to a Georgia in
vestment house, in answer to the
question of why the south must”
pay 1 per cent more interest than
the East.
“Broadly spe.Jking the south is
a virgin field,” he says, “but its
development, by reason of' the
civil war, has been retarded. •
“While great industrial and ag
ricultural progress has been made
in late years, we have not had
time in the South, out of this ac
tivity, to accumulate surplus capi
tal such as is to be found in the
East. The development of the
West was almost wholly on bor
rowed capital, and for which
Western people paid a high rate of
interest. Similar conditions , exist
wherever the opportunities for in
vestment are greater than the sup
ply of home capital; and therefore
these sections have to pay a higher
rate of interest than the older sec
tions even when the security is
absolutely unquestioned”
“Whenever there is a new and
undeveloped region offering large
opportunities for construction and
development work the rate of
money is necessarily higher than
in the older regions where capi
tal' has accumulated through a
longer period of years. In th* old
er regions capital is oft Hi unable
to find profitable investment at
home, whereas in the newer re
gions such as the South may be
called, the supply of local capital
is wholly inadequate to the
amount needed for the adquate de
velopment of its vast resources
In speaking of the South's con-
• j struction program an investment
house says:
“Actual construction contracts
awarded in the 16 Southern states
in 1921 amounted to $400,000,-
00V. Preliminary announcements
of building projects during the
year involved nearly $1,000,000,-
000. In many of the cities half of
the total valuation of permits is
sued was for dwellings, apart
ment structures and hoteis. In the
last quarter of 1021, construction
contracts amount'd to $110,171,-
489, anti projects initially an
nounced to $211,773,771. This in
dicates that 1922 will witness
more building activity even than
1921, which surpassed all pre
vious records in volume.
“Authorities agree that the per
iod of greater expansion thus be
gun will continue for many years
—probably for the next half-cen
tury. This means tha: money in
large sums must be brought in to
the South from all sections of the
United States for a long time to
come.
It’s the capital that COMES in
from the OUTSIDE that brings
prosperity. The more money we
keep at home; the more we
. ..can induce from the ‘ outside, at
.. .reasonable rates of interest,) the
greater the prosperty of the state
and the south.
Construction and industry bring
labor. Labor must eat and wear
clothes and spend its wage. The
dairies, the truck farms the poul
try farms, the cattle and hogs of
South West Georgia will find an
ever increasing demand near
home.
PROSPEROUS SOUTH
GEORGIA DAILIES.
Two South Georgia dailies have
recently come to the Times-Recor
der editorial room running over
with stories of South Georgia
prosperity—financial tales, not at
all but showing on every page
true conditions now being faced in
this land of opportunity for the
homeseeker who is searching for
an ideal climate in this favored
region where the rigors of the
hard winters do not obtain.
May 2, the Cordele Dispatch was
printed in five sections six pages
! , to the section and all profusely il
; lustrated carrying a fine volume of
: advertising matter and was a cre
dit to' any city of equal size. The
Dispatch was founded in 1908 and
is therefore 15 years young. In
that special number, the Dispatch
printed a pledge which the youth
of ancient Athens took, and that
paper adopted it as a model for
other cities to build by. We wish to
pass it along:
“We will never bring disgrace
I on this, out city, by any act of
dishonesty or cowardice. We will
get for the ideal and the sacred
things of the city, both alone and
with’ many.
“We will revere and obey the
city's laws, and we will do our
best to incite a like reverence and
respect in those above us who are
prone to annul them at naught
We will strive unceasingly to
quicken the public sense of civic
duty.
“Thus, in all these ways, we will
transmit this city not only not
less, but greater, better and more
beautiful, than it was transmitted
to us.”
Monday the Moultrie Observer
ran a poultry special which was
some effort itself, being 14 pages,
eight of which were devoted ex
clusive to telling the story of a
poultry sale recently held in that
good town. On the front page was
a street scene showing the activi
ty in town on the day of the sale.
The whole edition was liberallly
patronized by the local merchants.
Editor Allen is to be congratulated
on having made such a creditable
showing.
PITY FOR OUR
FOOR INDUSTRIES.
Senator Goodin, of Idaho, has
comeforward with a unique plan
for aiding the American farmer.
It will be r .numbered that the
Senator, as a large wool grower,
was an ardent advocate of a large
tariff; and one of his favorite ar
guments was th.it it would ai l the
farmer.
The Senator' r.t'.v recognizes
that the farmer was not aided;
thus he is sponsoring a scheme to
create a $300,000,000 govern
ment corporation to stabilize
wheat prices around $1.75 a bush
el, an increase of about 55 cents
over what the farmer at present
is getting.
If the Senator has his way, the
farmers—some of them—will at
least be happy. But there will be
others who raise tobacco and cot
ton and potatoes and peanutl who
will bo unhappy, and who- also
will immediately express an ardent
desire to be stabilized.
And after some other Senator
introduces a bill to stabilize all
of them, we shall begin to hear
from the manufacturers. The
United States Steel Corporation,
for instance, had a deficit after
dividends for the last quarter of
1922. And steel is absolutely
necessary as railroads and wheat.
Really, what we ought to have
in the opinion of many is govern
ment control of industry.
BUREAU OF ENGRAVING
SCANDAL A 1924 ISSUE.
One of the important issues of
the next presidential campaign, it
is predicted, will be President
Harding’s ruthless dismissal of
twenty-eight major and minor of
ficials of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and his subsequent
refusal to reinstate them in their
positions when it was shown that *
they were the victims of ground
less suspicions and unjust treat
ment.
At the time of the removal of
these officials, in March 1922, no
one regarded it as likely to rise
to the dignity of a moral issue in
a national campaign. The reac
tion, however, was quick and gen
eral, and has continued in a quiet
but significant way to influence
thousands of voters. The case of
these officials, most of them mem
bers of labor organizations, has
been made familiar to, union work
ers in all parts of the United
States.
The disappearance of 100 un
finished Federal farm loan bonds
of the denomination of SIOOO
each from the Bureau of Engrav
ing and Printing has served to
renew interest in the story of the
men and women who were ousted
“for .the good of the service” but
with the intimation, at first, that
they were guilty of some sort of
wrong-doing. The Republicans who
succeeded them are now under the
scrutiny of the secret service of
the Treasury Department. While .
there is no proof that the bonds
were stolen, and good reason to
believe that they have simply been
mislaid, there is a good deal of
curiosity as to the way in which
the responsible heads of the bu
reau will be treated. They were
appointed on the representation
that they were to increase the ef
ficiency of the Bureau.
This incident and the memorials
that will reach the next congress
in behalf of the men and women
who were discharged under base
less imputations of dishonesty will
renew, it is believed, the demand
for an investigation of their dis
missal by either the Senate or the
House of Representatives , in
neither of which the Republicans
will have a working majority.
