A RICH ASSET FOR GEORGIA
STATE PORT A DIRECT SOURCE OF PROGRESSIVE
PROSPERITY TO ITS PEOPLE OF ALL CLASSES
The proposed State Port and Term
inal for Georgia is the one project that
if carried out will be a working agency
for the material welfare of every per
son in Georgia, regardless as to his
business or occupation.
Its consummation means such a
broadening of the sources of produc
tive wealth throughout the state that
every man. woman and child in Geor
gia will share in the flood of benefits
accruing.
State built, State owned, State con
trolled, State managed, the State Port
and Terminal serves no community, no
class, no business, trade, or industry,
alone. It is the servant of all, with
out discrimination or favoritism.
Through it the farmers and stock
raisers of Georgia will be enabled to
increase their prosperity and assure
their economic independence by the
opportunity it will afford them, large
and small, of warehousing and mar
keting their products of every kind at
a minimum of cost and a maximum of
resulting- income.
Through it the manufacturers of
Georgia will be in position to handle
the output of their mills and factories
at a lessened cost and under condi
tions that permit of their disposing
of their commodities to the buyers of
the world, or of carrying and ship
ping at their own convenience, such
as they cannot otherwise hope to en
joy.
Through it the merchants of Geor
gia will find their trade steadily in
creasing. A greater population, with
Snore varied avenues of productive
wealth, means a wider diffusion of
prosperity and an increased demand
for the comforts of life. The whole
sale and retail trade of our State are
absolutely dependent for growth on
the expansion of activities that will en
sue from the establishment of a mod
em State Port and Terminal system.
Through it the workingmen of Geor
gia will derive the benefits which
come from enlarged opportunities for
profitable employment, resulting from
the diversification of agriculture and
of industry and the building up of
Georgia in population and wealth.
These are not mere idle statements.
THEY ARE STATEMENTS BASED
ON THE INDISPUTABLE FACTS
OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS ELSE
WHERE UNDER THE CONDI
TIONS THAT GEORGIA NOW PRO
POSES TO CREATE FOR ITS PRO
DUCERS. Given the handling system
the State Port and Terminals Is to
provide, given the opportunities it pre
sents for warehousing and cold stor
age at the lowest possible cost, given
the aggregating of marketable mer
chandise to bring together the buyers
of this and other countries, given the
minimum expense of shipping of
Georgia raised products that comes
with such a modern economically
handled plant, and the results referred
to are inevitable.
The bill to permit the people of
Georgia to vote upon the question of
a State Port and Terminals might
well be captioned "A Bill to Enable
the Farmers and Other Producers of
Georgia to Escane from the Disad
vantages Under Which They Labor
In the Marketing of Their Products
and to Place Them on a New Plane
of Economic Independence.” An ex
pressed determination on the part of
the producers of Georgia to have a
State Port and Terminals, a warehous
ing, marketing, shipping system owned
and controlled In their interest, IS IN
EFFECT A NEW DECLARATION OF
.INDEPENDENCE.
Placing the farmers and other pro
ducers of Georgia on this new plane
does not mean placing a burden of
debt on them and others of Georgia.
For selfish personal reasons some may
be antagonizing the idea of a State
Port and Terminals and seek to cre
ate that impression from sinister mo
tives. It is regrettable that any—no

matter what their reasons are op
posed to this progressive measure be
cause. if carried out. it means the
liberation of the mass of Georgians
from economic disadvantages and the
giving to them of the most efficient
facilities for the marketing of their
goods.
Experience has shown that such a
plant as proposed will pay for itseir
AND IN THE END BECOME A
SOURCE OF PERMANENT AND
INCREASING REVENUE TO THE
STATE, its owner, thereby materially
lightening the tax burdens on the pro
ducers or enabling the expenditure of
larger sums on the building of better
highways or the establishment of bet
ter schools.
A State Port and Terminals is not
like a highway system or bridges for
which bonds have been issued. They
are not sources of direct productive
income. A State Port and Terminal
plant is an income producer from the
day it is opened. The bonds issued for
its construction do not represent a
dead investment that the people must
carry. They are the outward sign of
a great publicly owned and publicly
managed enterprise, the earning
power of which provides the interest
on the bonds, provides the sinking
fund to pay for the bonds, and speed
ily provides in addition a surplusage
to go into the State Treasury for such
use as the Legislature in its wisdom
may dictate.
THE PROPOSED STATE PORT
AND TERMINALS IS A MONEY
MAKING INVESTMENT, BASED
ON THE CREDIT OF THE PEOPLE.
THE PEOPLE DO NOT PAY FOR
IT. IT PAYS FOR ITSELF. It has
dpne so elsewhere. It will do so in
Georgia, this, one of the richest pro
ducing States in the Union, one of
the world’s most productive empires,
the possibilities of whose varied de
velopment we are just appreciating.
The State Port project represents the
co-operative effort of the united ueo
ple of Georgia to place themselves in
the most advantageous position pos
sible for the profitable handling ot
their own products. The moneys paid
for its services, instead of passing
into the coffers of private enterprises,
will defray the interest and cost ot
operation, and provide the surplus to
wipe out the bonds when due. It
means, if consummated, that the pro
ducers of Georgia will be working for
themselves and not for others, and
that, in addition to the enhancement
of the value of their products scien
tifically marketed, the profits of hand
ling will remain at home for the good
of Georgia.
What is being asked of the General
Assembly at its approaching session
is that the people of Georgia be giver
an opportunity to express themselves
on this progressive proposition, that
the neople be given the chance to vote
as to whether they wish a State Tort
and Terminal system or not. A
REFERENDUM OF THE PROJECT
TO THE PEOPLE FOR DECISION
AT THE NEXT STATE ELECTION
IS WHAT IS SOUGHT. Why should
any one oppose this who has the wel
fare of the people, the producers, of
Georgia, really at heart?
Georgia cannot remain stationary
Its people must theck the tendency
to retrograde that comes in the wake
of the boll weevil. THEY MUST
ARISE AND DEMAND THE FULL
EST OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
MARKETING SAFELY AND
CHEAPLY OF THEIR PRODUCIS,
now Ihat they are of necessity branch
ing out in their agriculture and indus
tries. The more they study the State
Port DEd Terminal proposition the
more they will enthuse over w’hat it
means for them and the less the possi
bility of any opponents being able to
becloud the issue and prevent the pro
ducers from getting the relief and the
assistance they are entitled to.

Inactive
Liver
“I have had trouble with
an inactive liver,” wrote Mrs.
S. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer
St, Houston, Texas. "When
I would get constipated,! would
feel a light, dizzy feeling in my
head. To get up in the morning
with a lightness in the head and
a trembly feeling is often a sign
that the stomach is out of order.
For this I took Thedford’s
Black-Draught, and without a
doubt can say I have never
found its equal in any liver
medicine. It not only cleans
the liver, but leaves you in such
a good condition. I have used
it a long time, when food does
not seem to set well, or the
stomach is a little sour.”
