'WHERE YOUR TAXES GO=We have secured
the exclusive use of a series of dfticles on “Where
your taxes Go” written by Hoh. Edward C. Low
iy, the foremost authority on this subject. In view
of the general misinforination and lack of knowl
elge on this mast important subject on the part,
of the citizeéns and the fact that the ladies have
fow been raised to the important position of a
voting citizen, we feel these articles are timely
and should be carefully read by our people. The
series consists of twenty-nine columns and they
will appear consecutively in the Leader-Enterprise
It would add considerable to the interest of the
classes in Civil Government in the school rooms,
if the teachers will read them to. their classes and
will also tend to make them better informed voters
when they reach that interesting age.
In another column of this issue we introduce
the author to our readers The series will begin
with Monday’s issue. Watch for them,
GREAT FUTURE FOR GEORGIA BAUXITE
—lf Mr. Ford secures. Mussel Shoals a great fu
ture is ahead for the Bauxite mines in Sumter and
Schley counties. Up to now, the freight rates on
Bauxite shipped to northern points cost several
times the amount it costs for mining the raw ma
terial. . With the establishment of electric pow
er at Mussel Shoals and the necessary equipment
to utilize bauxite in this southern arca, we can
look for a big development of this product, so
abundant in our sister counties.
Aluminum is the most abundant metallic ele
ment. It is an essential constituent of mearly all
rocks except sandstones and limestones, according
to the Upited States Geological Survey, . Depart
ment of ‘he Interior Though. it is more abundant
than iron it has been of no use until the last 25
years, for it is locked up so tight with oxygen that
oniy the electric furnace can easily separate the
two elements and give us the metal for our pots
and pans and the thousands other things that we
aow make of it including even the bodies of au
tomobiles and certain parts of some airplanes.
+CONTROLLING DANGEROUS NATIONS—
Seme people will raise the question, in view of the
probable reduction of naval armament, what can
be done to control nations that show dangerous
tendencies. Suppose Japan, they say, should vi
olate her pledge and practically annex northern
China. The plan for reduction of navies might
just suit her, since it would make it impossible
ior the United States or England to interfere.
Thus Japan could build up eventually, a great
commercial empire on Chinese territory, and pos
£ibly by organizing Chinese troops, develop these
subjugated people into a threatening military
force,
To which it can be said, that it seems clear that
the American people would never send an army
and fleet to Asia merely to secure better trade

privileges there. But it is conceivable, if - they
felt at some future time that hideous wrong was
beng perpetrated on a defenseless nation, consti
i ting a threat to the peace of the world, that
they might send an army across to fight against
siich a scheme of conquest, just as they intervened
to help put down Germany. .
Such 2 possibility however, is so very remote,
that it does not seem wise to spend hundreds of
million dollars a year getting ready for it. It is
coing to pay the nations to play fair. No country
of any importance has so far repudiated its debts,
occause its financiers have known that if they did,
they could never borrow any more money. So it
is doubttul if any great nation ever again tears
up its treaties ‘the way Germany did. Statesmen
bave learned that such a course costs more than it
comes to. .
Should such a catastrophe ever take place, it is
probable that the offending nation could be discip
lined by some form of commercial retaliation, rath
er than the terribly costly process of war. |
And it seems worth while to give Japan a chance
o see what she will do, before other peoples as
sume in advance that she will violate her pledges.
STRAWS SHOW—Straws show which way the
wind is blowing, and the elections of this year,
have afforded a clear idea of political trend. While
local issues more or less in almost every city and
state that cast votes on November 8, has been sig
nificant political manifestation. -
Republican leaders at once became alarmed.
Some of them thought the trouble was that Pres
wlent Harding has not rewarded his political
workers suffciently. That is an idea that might
have been held by some folks fifty years ago, but
it is obsolete today.
These elections furnish a revelation of the point
i view of the mass of people. A large body of
voters had become weary with the burdens that
are inevitable when a nation goes to war and had
tumbled over each other to vote the Republican
ticket in 1920, as a method of expressing fheir im
patience with the sacrifices that war makes neces
sary.. i
But after watching the Republican Congress
perform, they have made up their minds that it is
incompetent to do.anything to lift their burdens,
also that they ¢an not be wholly lifted by any hu
man power, but just must be carried for a time un
til conditions right themselves, Consequently
these multitudes of voters have returned to their
normal point of view, and when that happens,
there is a close balance between the twa parties
in this country.
~ What hes happened now is that the pendulum
which recedirg from an extreme swing to the Re
publican sid, 1s now reached a pomt just abu.t
midway betweed the two extremes DBut when
‘t'ne pendulum ¢ wrts swinging mementu:e alwavs
carries as“far on th eopposite direction as it went
on its last swing the other way. According to all
lpsychology and human nature, that means a Big
‘Democr_atic Victory in the congressional elections
of 1922.

Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.
We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled'with uric acid, says
a well known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard agains®
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irtitating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys| ache and feel
like lumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back br the urine is
cloudy, full of sedimen}, or the blad
der is irritable, obliging you to seck
relief Quring the night; Wwhen you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weatßer, get from
your pharmacist about \four ounces
of Jad Salts, take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before brdakfast each
‘morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with|lithia, and
has been used for generatiohs to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
njure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking a little oc-,
casionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.
