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 THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford Sedan with electric starting and lighting system, with demountable rims with tires all around, is a family car of class and comfort, both in summer and in winter. For touring it is a most comfortable car. The large plate glass windows make it an open car when desired, while in case of rain and all inclement weather, it can be made a most delight ful closed car in a few minutes. Rain-proof, dust proof, fine upholstering, broad, roomy seats. Simple in operation. Anybody can safely drive it. While it has all the distinctive and economical merits of , the Ford car in operation and maintenance. Won’t jpy' T p ' you come in and look it over ? • iagigjlrH HARRIS MOTOR CO. BA ' RNE|^ VILLE ” GA 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. mshwO* TRE CITIZENS RANK BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA is the backbone of the State and he is the State’s political boss. His word to his legislator should echo his California brother’s stern refusal to surrender his welfare or his property to these visionary, selfish conspira tors.- Adv. THREE ARTS CLUB GIVES OCT.
