Georgia products arc most help
ful for Georgia farmers.
Georgia products for Georgia
people suioly promote progressive
prosperity in Georgia.
Just now it seems that the pro
verbial firebrand of till east is the
most peaceful uution of the entire
bunch.
Ip the professional “heads of
the unions'’ were discarded the
strikers would make peace prompt
ly.
In Georgia there are 161 coun"
ties, 207 legislative Representa
tives and 52 Senators. This year
the legislature was less than useles
o ,
Possiui.y the next Georgia legis
lature may bo persuaded to enact
a law providing for biennial ses
sions.
The grain crop was not as good
ns the farmers in this section of
Georgia at one time hoped for.
They can make it much better and
bigger next spring.
Co-operation between local
merchants and farmers of nearby
communities would keep thousands
of dollars in Middle Georgia. This
would afford profit alike to
farmer and merchant.
Henry Ford, the famous motor
manufacturer has declared a pur
pose that may prove the destruc
tion of professional profiteering in
the United States
The growth of profiteering as
an aftermath of the war against
the autocracy Germany became
a conspiracy between Wall street
interests and the leaders of
union labor
Through the combination of
great moral courage and mental
and financial power, Mr. Ford
reached the conclusion that burden
of profiteering could be thrown off.
Commercial and industrial con
ditions reached a peint where
there must be relief or the burden
would become unbearable.
The business of Mr. Ford so in
creased that 80.000 men Mere em
ployed in manufacturing motor
ears, and at least a million engag
ed In making other supplies en
tering into his construction en
terprise.
In the course of his great busi
ness, Mr. Ford found that the
steel monopoly and the operators
of coal mines were demanding
prices for coal and steel consider
able in excess of their reasonable
valuo.
This he declared to be profiteer
ing, unadulterated and unjust, and
to which he would protest in a
in a practical way. Then he pub
licly declared he would shut down
his great, factories, throwing out
of employment nearly two million
workers.
On September 16th these fac
tories will become idle until such
time as the great burden of profi
teering is removed.
Mr. Fold declares conditions
against which he protests aie
the outgrowth of a deliberate con-
spiraoy. The pending strikes of
coal miners and railway men are a
part of that conspiracy, though he
says, the actual workers bolievo
they are justly protesting against
industrial injustice. Be that ns it
may, Mr. Ford's coniention is that
