THE DO-NOTHING LEGIS
LATURE.
Tfte passing of the 1923 extra ses
sion of the legislature caled by Gov
ernor Walker for the specific pur
pose of providing tax legislation for
the support and maintenance of the
various departments of the stats will
go down in history as afarce and a
travesty on that which was just and
right.
Factional politics and desires for,
personal advancement of many of
the legislators was put before duty.
From the day thelegislature conven-i
ed until the closnig hour Friday,
these members bickered and blocked'
every piece of legislation brought'
before that body. Technicalities and
petty difference as to this or that i
item in the bill were thrashed out j
for no purpose than to delay and
weaken the measure. These tactics \
were kept up for over five weeks and !
if it had not been for the firov stand
and positive manner of Governor
Walker, who appeared before the
general assembly and demanded
some measure for the relief of the
financial condition of the state or
eke adjurnment, no doubt, many of
the legislatrs would have been will
ing to remain in session until the
last dollar was draned from the
treasury of Georgia.
Hiis legislature has been a night
mare to the people of Georgia who
desired and had a right to expect
something from their representatives
in the way of sound and stable tax
legislation. They have been disap
pointed and an accounting of the
acts of these men who have throttled
and thwarted every movement of
the members who were desirous of
giving financial relief to Georgia is
bound to come n the near future.
Governor Walker has done his du
ty. It required backbone and (our
age to call an extra session of the
legislature. He put the interest of
' the state before self. The people of
Georgia will endorse his acts and,
justly so. No man could have done
more; to have done less would have
been a violation of his oath. He
, ted wisely in calling the extra ses
sion; the failure in passing tax le
'islaton rests upon those members
’•'ho were interested more in self
advancement than in the state. It is
indeed unfortunate for Georgia, for
those who allowed politics to con
trol them; it has been an expensive
experience and at a time when the
treasury is practically depleted.
Such acts on the part of legislators
are inexcusable and they will re
ceive the condemnation of the peo
p’e of Georgia.—Athens Banner-
Herald.
ADVERTISING AS AN INVEST.
MENT.
Uieeent years has developed prac
tically every line of business and
merchants to bfccome advertisers of
their wraes in the newspapers. The
merchants who do not advertise are
the merchants who do not prosper.
Survey your communities and con
sult your local newspapers and you
will find that the prosperous mer
chants are the ones who hre liberal
advertisers.
The Buchanan Tribune has a time
ly editorial on the mreehant who
does not advertise. It say.,:
“The fellow who pays the adver
tising bill is the fellow who doesn't
advertise. He pays just as surely
and certainly as if he went to the
cash drawer and took the money out. ■
ihp only difference is that his cus
tomers' dollars instead of getting in- j
to the cast drawer puss right by and
•nter the cash drawer of the adver
,er. He is paying for the other
•llowi*’ advertising, but is not being
benefitted by it. Many non-adver
tisers have often wondered who
pays the large advertising bills of
their competitors, not realizing that
they themselves are paying most
dearly for it.
• Why not stop paying the advertis
ing bill of your competitor and let
some other fellow start paying for
your advertising through the loss of
business" Put the customers’ dollars
into your store with advertising.
For advertising is like a magnet—
the stronger it is the harder it polls."
Quite true —the merchant who
does not advertise pays for the other
feliow’s a i' ortisi ig in the ! * f
trade. In this day and time, the
buying oublic consults the newspa
pers before shopping in the stores:
investing in real estate and before
selecting a bank with which to do
busness. It s the advertiser who
places his name and business before
the public who receive the benefits.
The unknown merchant is the one
who never advertises and in the
struggle for business he is thrown
for great losses by his competitor
who believes in advertising and tell-
ing the public what he has to offer
and the prices of the goods.
If you are not an advertiser, try
it on a small scale; feel your way
■ and it will not be long until you will
' become convinced that your business
| cannot grow and expand without the
| proper amount of advertising. It is
an investment and not an expense;
you should credit yqur business with
; the dividends from advertising just
! as, you would dividends you receive
from investments in bank stock or
; any other dividend paying invests
i ment. Advertising is the life of bus
ness and the frm. corporation or in
dividual who undertakes to conduct
a busness without properly and ju
diciously advertising will be better
off to sell out shop and retire from
business.
IT’S GREAT TO BE A FARMER.
The Moultrie Observer sets up a
number of reasons for it being great
to be a farmer. It says:
Nobody helps the editor.
He has to weed his own row.
There is advice for the farmer, but
the editor only gets criticism.
Demonstrators are sent to help the
farmer develop new ways and better
ways of making a living. The editor
has ”to buy his own trade papers and
better methods.
The farmer is helped by the gov
ernment to borrow money at a low
rate of interest. The editor has to
put up security and pay the limit.
He is no favorite when it comes to
borrowing.
The government runs special col
leges and experiment stations to as
cerlain what it is best for the farmer
to do and not to do, but the editor
has to make his own experiments and
lose when he makes a mistake.
The states and federal government
spend millions on marketing agencies
for the farmer. The newspaper man
has to sell his own papers and ad
vertising, the government even put
ting extra postage on his wares.
The legislature is busy trying to
fix things so the farmer will have to
pay less taxes, but the newspapers
have to pay ad valorem, corporation
taxes and special professional taxes,
and they are taxed (in Moultrie) for
doing business, as if they were a
sort of nuisance like a bar-room or a
pool room. They are almost exempt
from income taxes.
It must be great to be a farmer and
feel that your country has such an
interest in you.
Come, to think about the matter,
the editor does have a hani road to
travel, but what is the use of com
plaining. It is all in a lifetime and
the best we make of it is better for
us. We are glad that some class of
receiving favors from
the legislation of the country and
maybe some day the newspapers
will come into their own and be treat
ed justly as all other public and com
mercial enterprises are —without dis
crimination.

No Rest —No Peace
There’s no peace and little rest
for the one who suffers from a bad
back, and distressing urinary disor
ders. Lawrenceville people recom
mend Doan’s Pills. Ask your neigh
bor. Be guided by their experience.
C. D. Oakes, proprietor of groce
ry store, 214 Crogan street., Law
renceville, says: “I caught cold and
it settled in my kidneys. My back
was lame and weak and if I stooped
a catch seized me in my back. When
I did any heavy work I suffered for
it the next day and could hardly get
around. I had to get up nights on
account of the weak, too free ac
tion of my kidneys. Rheumatism
set in and my limbs, feet and an
kles swelled. I used Doan’s Pills
from' the City Drug Co., and one box
was all I needed to get th e desired
relief.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.
Oakes had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
