There are volumes of truth in
the opening paragraph in the edi

August 18th, to-wit;
"About the most important
thing the Legislature did this year
was to convention and adjourn.
What it.did not do is of far more
consequence.”
Fifty days of time and approxi
mately $150,000 were more than
wasted during the 1922 session of
tho Georgia Legislature,
The session was extended a day
beyond the legal time and to 5

The 3922 session of the Georgia
Legislature was worse than useless.

The production of coal was said

tho close of last week. It has
boon evident for several weeks that
miners were tired of the strike.

Representatives.

that was disapproved by the gov
ernor.
Of course there were a consider
able local laws enacted, all limited
to municipal or county needs.
Each Saturday of the session
was in effect, if not actually, nou
die, and junkets and banquets
were abundant.
It is a notorious fact that money
and liquor were abundantly in
Hvidenco before, during and nf er
the new county bill was consider
ed.
Beyond doubt liquor and money
were used to influence legislation,
Hud the passage of that bill is more
than tainted with fraud.
In this connection i,t is doubt
less known to municipal, state and
federal officers that the anti-liquor
laws were shamelessly violated.
\yhile the ballot was boing taken
on the new county bill, at least 'the
four who voted aye shamelessly
violated solemn pledges made im
mediately priod' to that roll call.
The exchange of one vote from yes
to no would have defeated
bill.
But, that is ancient history to
the discredit of the House of Rep
resentatives.
Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 18.—Here is
a summery of the outcome of tho
leading measures considered by
the legislature during tho session
which ended at 6 O’clock Friday
Morning;
more than half a term. I would
like to serve at least one full term
in addition. I will appreciate the
support of the voters of this
circuit.

The lack of legislature to make
a helpful record this year, will go
far toward defeating Gov. Hard

entirely too much talk and too
little construction at the state cap-
