Dear Mr. Editor:
Will you kindly publish this letter as
your contribution to the Jewish Relief
cause?
Our mayor and othors interested in
starving humanity have asked that an
appeal bo made to this community for
the starving Jewish orphans in the Far
East, in Russia, in Poland and particu
larly in the regions of Turkey and Pal
estine. ,
This appeal does not come from tho
Jews alone but from interested humani
tarians throughout America. Mr, Her
bert Hoover and Ex-President Taft have
verified the statements that thousands
of babies are starving and Governor
Hardwick has issued a proclamation to
the peoplo of Georgia asking that dur
ing tho month of March wo give to
this noblest of charities—feeding hun
gry babies.
The Jews of America are making he
roic efforts to raise all the money need
ed and are compelled with roluctance
to ask their Gentile friends to assist
them in the work of securing $14,000,-
000.00.
This appeal is not addressed to Jow-
haters but 'to those of us who beliovo
that the first duty on humanity is to
feed babies who are starving and clothe
babies that are naked; orphaned by the
war and. diseased by privation.
To those who can give surely this is
a great opportunity. Of all the demands
made upon us surely the cries of hun
gry and innocent babies will come first.
Any contribution of any size will help
greatly. This county has been asked to
raise only one thousand dollars—a mod
est per capita. Every dollar donated
will buy a dollar’s worth of food.

and common road tax. Then let alt
share in the benefit of the good public
roads alike. Of course, we all have the
same privilege as it is, but all can't '
operate cars for money.
Now 1 , what about damage to passes*
gors or freight,transported by cars on
public roads. They should be sued for a
heavy damage, for a broken limb or the
death of a person caused on public road
while being transported for^ nionoy just
as the railroad people are, aid pay for
it just as the railroad people do, and
make a bond sufficient to cover such
damages ( as might.qecur^and,-do .this
whop they dp on business ion the road.
This change must, and will, come
soon. Where is thoro any justice in
ono part of the world keeping" up good
public roads for the other part to use to
make money and be in the way! t
know there is already a tax on cars, but .
they should bo raised in proportion to
the railroads' expenses of keeping up
their roads. If railroads have, a wreck,
' do thoy go and leave it for the public
to fix? No, they fix it at their own ex
pense. What does the truck man do if
ho tears a bridge all to confoundt He
goes on and tells the public to fix the
confounded thing at their own expense,
I pay a little tax to fix it with. New,
does tho railroad get out with a little
tax? If they did it would be an easy
going thing just ns it is, with tho truck
users
The tenor of this article is to put the
isers of public roads for a business to
make money under the same rulings
that the railroads are under.
Suppose thoy get to organizing com
panies, and go to operating cars on the
public roads. Then suppose the stub
ioad companies go to operating. cars
over the public roads for money, which
they have a right to do, as it ia now—*
they would bo asked'quick to pay a big
tax for the privilege of so doing. Then,
those big trucks are greatly in the way
of tho traveling public, as nearly alt
good stock are afraid of cars of 18 or
20 bales of cotton. It is something new.
to them, and so it is to. \ib.
