EDITORIAL
Herman Talmadge’s re-registra
tion bill did not work out to his
advantage so the boy king is put
ting on the pressure to get the ef
fective date of the law changed un
til next year.
Houston county spent some $2,000
in an effort to get the people on the
registration books under the new
act. Now it appears that the Tal
madge people want to postpone the
effective date of the law and then
kill it later. The larger counties
must have spent several thousand
dollars each in putting the re-re
gistration law into effect.
All of that money seems to have
been wasted.
The wiilly-nilly governor is hav
ing considerable difficulty X mak
ing up his mind.
He was surprised that the bill he
sponsored actually worked against
him in that many of his strongest
supporters failed to re-regiter under

the new registration law. He wanted
a big vote but the result of the
new law was that more Negroes
were able to qualify and the total
registration was smaller (by about 25
per cent in Houston county).
The Governor finds it very hard
tc make up his mind.
'He had to have more taxes last
year; now finds he doesn’t need any
more taxes this year but he pro
mises the same services. He also
promised a white primary, a con
stitutional highway board and fewer
state employees some more pro
mises he knew he couldn’t fill.
Governor Talmadge said Monday
that he’s "no prophet,” therefore
cannot tell whether there will be a
crisis in state finances by Septem
ber. If he doesn’t know it, he also
should have added that he’s no gov
ernor.
