CALIFORNIA VOTERS
REJECT PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP -
San Francisco, Cal.
Returns from the November 7
referendum, now virtually complete
after long tabulation, show that Cal
ifornia voters defeated by more than
two to one a proposal to issue $500,-
000,000 of bonds to finance the ope
rations of a bourd of five men to be
created to take over and operate
hydro-electric utilities. The latest
figures are 443,000 votes against the
plan and 201,000 for it. This re
pudiation of an entire program is
probablyrthe most thorough ever ef
fected in a California election.
This message will carry inspiration
to the Georgia farmer from his
brother in California. It? meaning,
robbed of well sounding phrases, is
that the farmer’s taxes there will not
go to pay for the cost of electricity,
gas and street car rides of the com
fortably housed city man. It means
an end there to a dangerous, unjust*
Communistic propaganda.
The raisin grower of California is
one with the cotton planter of Geor
gia. Farmers are one the world
over. Their interests are identical.
And the vote in California points
clearly to every Georgia legislator
his duty toward this question of Pub
lic Ownership.
What these men tried to do in Cal
ifornia —and failed to do—is pre
cisely what their fellow-conspirators
in the Municipal League have tried
and are trying to do in Georgia. It
anything, the plan proposed for Geor
gia is even more dangerous to the
farmer’s interests, the small town
man’s interests, than the California
plan. They limited their proposal in
California to an issue of five hun
dred millions of dollars in bonds to
finance the plan. Tho Georg:* tcheme
has no limit.
In California they proposed that
n board of five politicians should take
over the power plants and run them,
paying for any losses with the State’s
tax money. That is the same identi
cal proposal made to Georgians by
the Municipal League. But the
Georgia plan involves also the throt
tling of the Constitutional safeguard
against excessive indebtedness for
which the tax-payer’s property is se
curity. Once this sacred barrier is
hacked away, once these, conspirators
are in charge of the vast properties
bought with bond money, there will
not be left one single safeguard for
the farmer or any other tax-payer.
By the terms of the proposed law,
this board of politicians would be re
sponsible to no one—not even the
courts. They would be above the
Public Service Commission —above
the Legislature! Their authority
would come directly from the Consti
tution, as slashed and changed by the
plan, and they would be a law unto
themselves! What an opportunity!
This is th 6 plan being urged on
Georgia law-makers. Until now the
senators and representatives, with
commendable consistence, have re
jected it. But it will come up again
next summer. The Georgia farmer

summer and in winter. For touring it is a most comfortable car. The large

all inclement weather, it can be made a most delight

THANKSGIVING
The good old custom of thanksgiving,which
originated in New England with the Pilgrim
fathers, has become a universal custom and
now, each year the President of our great
country,as well as the Governors of the differ
ent states, issues a proclamation declaring the
day to be set aside for prayer and thanks
giving.
When we look around us and begin to count
our blessings, we have a great-many things
to be thankful for.
If you have opened an account at our bank
and have a snug little sum to your credit, you
have a great deal to be thankful for,and if you
haven’t done so you can still be thankful that
the opportunity is still open for you to do so,
and that a good safe bank is ready to receive
your deposits, and give you the very best ser
vice, coupled with courtesy and attention to
the minutest detail, whether your account be
large or small.
