MAKE THE FIRM
SUCCESSFUL
If you're working for a business firm,
work to beat the band,
Make the firm successful!
Just act as though the whole blamed
thing was resting in your hand.
Make the firm successful!
Remember work can harm you not,
So be a Johnny-on-the-spot,
let your every act and thought
Make the firm successful!
Just use your brain and plan to have
each bit of work you do y
Make the firm successful!
Remember you yourself will be a
huge success if you
Make the firm successful!
If you can’t work the proper way,
Resign at once —thVvery day,
And thus unwittingly you may
Make the firm successful!
—The Gimlet.

GOOD! Iv
PRINCIPLES LIVE FOREVER
THOUGH THEIR CHAMPIONS
SURRENDER POWER
Lamar county under baptism of
fire in her first battle of ballots in
state elections votes for business ad
ministration, for law and order, for
Georgia and justice. I fear that the
verdict of the State has dealt all
these fundamental principles a fatal
blow. The defeat of Governor Hard
wick considered from every angle is
a State disaster.
Alexander Hamilton long ago de
clared that “The science of tax is the
science of government.” The Gov
ernor one year ago was called to the
great task of pulling the State out of
financial mire and deep ditch of debt
and dishonored obligations. He was
chosen because of his ability, cour
age and because he is boldly aggres
sive in advocating measures, and dis
dainful of the petty politics of the
demagogue. Other governors be-
fore him trimmed and trafficked,
feared and faltered, leaving their ad
ministrations of the State’s business
in the same state of chaos in which
they found it—a standing shame and
a perpetual inheritance of dishonor
and financial folly. What is State
government with its complex system
of bureaus and departments, its insti
tutions of education and philan
thropy, public utilities and pensions,
but a great big business? When
Georgia called Hardwick to the task
he sat solidly down in the chair of
the Chief executive, pulled off his
coat, rolled up his sleeves and with
brain and nerve and grit, like a mas
ter of finance, opened the State’s
ledgers and studied bookkeeping with
a skill and a will and courage that
meant business. He did not keep an
eye on the sails of his political ship
to catch favorable winds; that eye
was focused on receipts and dis
bursements; he did not place his ear
to the ground to note popular opin
ion; that ear was absorbed with the
click of the adding machine; he did
not “listen in” to hear radio voices
floating senselessly in ether; trial
balance discrepancies sounded long
and loud and near.' “Income” and
“Outgo” discord of the sad old song
of “Buckle and Tongue” jarred his
nerves and stimulated him to work
but the problems of a great public
trust. How well he did this is now
a matter of current history. Re
view the record: He realized on the
only asset available and paid Civil
Var veterans and teachers three and
a half million dollars of long past
due obligations—he cut . off one mil
ion needless appropriations and
kept another million and a half from
becoming a State liability; he put
bienn.al sessions bill through the
House, advocated reduction of rail
road commissioners and attorneys,
abolition of needless departments,
adoption of budget economy; he put
rough a lease of the mansion prop
erty yielding millions of revenue; he
bil H ° USe inConle tax
ill, blocked by a rebellious senate—
a measure of paramount importance
providing for a reduction of the tax
n farmers ana owners of lands and
visible property, shifting a fair share
of the burden to owners of stocks,
bonds and invisible property— a
measure that will provide ample re
sources for all State institutions.
Why a governor with this one year
lecord of achievement is repudiated
is beyond reasonable, dispassionate
comprehension. Alas! that the votes
of forty thousand Georgians can be
voted in q block to put up and pull
down, to pull down and put up again
a constant menace to good govern
ment m this Empire State! Fellow
citizens of Lamar, let us ever re
member that unbiased individual
judgment is the strongest weapon in
the panopiy of liberty and our sacred
bal ot the bulwark of our freedom
and the cornerstone .of the Republic.
