Charlie Elliott Leaves State For
Post With Natioual Parks Service
January 15.
Putting it more journalistically
Charlie Elliott has left the state to
assume duties as public relations
man for the National Parks Ser
vice. He will be handling work
Region No. 1, which embraces al'
states east of the Mississippi river
from Maine to Louisiana.
His duties will not take him en
Urely out of the wildlife realm- n
asmuch as national parks- are
closeel F allied *«"« and fish
enervation. Although Elhott ,
will be traveling a great part ol
the time, his headquarters will he
in Richmond, Va.
Elliott is one of the few men to
be drafted for a federal post after
being dsimissed from a state ad
rninistrative position. This is the
tip-off on his rating as a parks
man, forester and wildlife execu
tive. He is equally proficient in al
of these fields and it appears iron- I
ical that a career man of his
ber is having to carry his talents!
elsewhere.
Until January 15 he was acting
commissioner of natural resource
and wildlife director. As wildlife
director for 18 months he gave
Georgia its first uniformed ranger
staff and first statewide junior
r ranger program among 4-H and F.
F, A. Clubs. Under his administra
tion, the wildlife division set all
time records in sale of hunting T
censes and fishing licenses and
more than tripled the number ol
convictions against violators of
game laws any other director ■
ever obtained.
The magazine Outdoor Georgi
ranked as one of the three out
standing state game and fish pub
lications in the nation, was found
ed by Elliott, who was its editoi.
The new parks relations man is
generally credited with accom- I
plishing more in a shorter time!
than any wildlife director preced
ing him.
His friends, and they are multi
tude, predict ‘he same outstanding

1 Responsible
Congress Is

(Continued from Page One).
exercise of this supreme lawmak
ing power.
When Congress exercised its
power to create a controlled econ
omy, it was obligatory on it to see
that business, industry and agri
culture were put on an equitable
basis.
It was the duty of Congress to ;
establish this equitable basis with
regard to inequalities already |
existing,
In fact, the
iication of the Congress to set up
a controlled economy was the the
ory that existing inrequalities and
existing injustices would be rem
edied.
In the years from 1909 to 1913
these inequalities and injustices
already existed
Practically ever since the war
between the States, Agriculture
has been penalized by the opera
tion of protective tariffs.
During the so-called parity pe
rtori the farmer was being robbed
by the operation of tariff laws oi
33 1-3 per cent of his yearly
crop. »
It is obvious that in order t<
strike a real parity, 1 ; is nece^sarj
to add 50 per cent to the tarmei :;
income during those so-called par
ity years.
Operating behind the protectioi
of tariff walls, foreign capital,
especially from Great Britain.
came to the United State- and rie
veIoped great rayon milIs rob
the cotton farmer of his trade.
Only a few weeks ago the ne
cessity of financing Great Britain
in the present war compelled the
British Government to sell one
rayon plant in the United State
for two hundred million dollars.
Not only that, but while British
capital was developing the rayon
industry behind the tariff walls of
the lJnited States to take the cot _
ton farmers market in America
Rntish capital was doing some
thing else; British capital to sup
co tt on mills of Great
y r jt a ; n jn exchange for manufac
tured products. Tli«s took more of j
the American cotton grower’s mar
ket way from him. I
The Congress which enacted |
those tariff laws is responsible for
the condition in which the farmei
was found at the beginning of the
present Federal Administration.
The present Congress is morally
bound to correct this inequality
and injustice
It is morally bound to put the
Amei ican farmer back on his feet
whatever the cost may be.
For eight years the United
Department of Agriculture
5c SINGLE COPY
has been trying to rehabilitate
farmers all over the United States.
The United States Department
of Agriculture should be able tr
give the Congress information
that will enable Congress to form
a correct idea of what the farm
er’s income must be for him to
live in decency and comfort.
The statement of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture shows
that on these projects, consisting
of a total of'$70,394 acres, there
are 14,703 families. This is an av
erage of 66 acres per family. The
first cost of the land averaged
$31.20 per acre, or $2,059.86
family.
The money spent in
these projects amounted to
per acre, or $7,133.94 per
The total cost per acre
$139.30 and the total cost per fam
ily wa s $9,193.80.
In 1920 thirty-one million peo
pie on the farms were feeiding
and clothing 79 miLlio npeople who
were not on the farms.
.Today, 30 million people on the
farms are feeding and clothing 101
million people who are not on the
farms.
The only fair basis from which
to start in equalizing oportuniti.es
of the people under this controlled
economy is to equalize the income
income of the non-farm popula
tion.
Congress doe- not today inquire
what organized labor and capital
were making in 1910 or 1912. The
wages ot organized labor is in
quired into on a basis of the cost
i f living today—-not the cost of
,i\ ing in 1910.
According to figures of the U. S
Department of Agriculture, the
average per capita income of non
j (arm population was $397 in 1910
! Tnis per capita income had in
j | creased in '939 to $648. This was
an in crease of sixty per cent.
The increase in per capita in
come of the iarm population was
only twenty-f've per cent.
It is necessary to increase the
per capita farm income $190.80
above the present level to put the
larm.- on an eq.'aiity with busi
nes-- and industry.
The burden is on the Congress
to do tnis. When it exercised its
pow • to set up a controlled eeon
nny, 1 necessarily assumed the
1 esc,-. ibility to make that con
trolled economy work.
The harsh ea'it.y of the s'tua
tion is before us.
It cannot be forever evaded by
asking the farmer to do the im
possible.
From year to year the farmer is
invited in effect to come to Wasb
ington and suggest to Congress
how Congress cart help the farmer (
without interfering with the spe
ciai privileges of busires. and in
dustry.
This cannot be done. Neither the j
farmer nor anyone el can sug- '
gest a way to help him without
equalizing him with business and j
industry,

Congress can .by law, increase
the use of America farm products
An outstanding example of how
this can be done is the proposed
use of five million bales of cotton
a year as a substitute for wood
pulp in paper making.
Congress, can reduce the Fed-!
eral Lana Bank Mortgages anr j
other farm mortgages to a basis <n ;
the present day value of the farms.
Congress can use some of t!

can There do. are The many responsibility things Congress is j

The farmer is the most
of any national group. The farmer
will work to produce tor the na

no other group would tolerate. The
farmer never goes on a strike. He
always looks forward with hope
to a better day. The Government
which the farmer’s rifle set up has
betrayed him through the years.
This great controlled economy is
rolling along without a driver. It
