The truth is beginning to dawn upon the people of Georgia that one of the greatest needs of the State is to get .more of her solid business men into her law making body. Too long the ? making of our laws has been left mea wfhose desire to go to the legislature was prompted solely by their desire for-self ag grandizement. ■ A well known Georgian, talking oii this subject" 'recently, said “Je hovah promiseef Abrafi&m that He would sav’e Shdom and Gomorrah if ten good men VouVd be found within tßem. fen good men might' bit able have a hard Vime doing it.

Let’s igleci one pore assembly that will measure up to . other days. We need men who have no ■ political ambition bnt whose sole desire is tb help Georgia. Men who are playing politics all the time,' who are schem ing to be governor or senator or con gressman or a judge, \vill never solve the great problems in a big broad way. If the weekly and daily newspa pers’ ivjll hammer on this subject for a few weeks, they will awaken gen eral 'rntere'st' and th;* 'people will feel an Inspiration that they have not had in a generation.” This question lies with the people.

THE VIEWS OF LABOR ON UNIVERSAL CONSCRIPTION Washington, D. C., June 12.—The proposal that the government con script wealtih and labor at home, as well as menYof the ranks, during war, would naturally seem to be one which would appeal to the ranks of labor. The statement made by Sam uel Gompers, president of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, shows that labor sees both sides of the question and considers, what would be best for the nation as well as what might be good for labor. He says: “In theory, universal conscripiton in time of war is correct. It is right that the government should take wealth as well as men. But I am un willing at this time tfo' be dogmatic one way or the other. ' I realize that riot every theory can be applied in this world'of human fallibility. “I should like to be certain the uni versal conscription will do away with profiteering,'and that it will not be a means of destroying our economic life and ruining our-standards »i life and work after war. ,i - . “In theory, universal conscription just. We do mot want another war. But. if defense pf great principles re quires such a, sacrifice, I believe our people will respond as they always have responded. We want to be sure that in preventing injustice and prof iteering we do riot build up some thing worse, something perhaps more hampering. “I should like to see a aomi.iisslon, compose?! of men from all Walks of life, representing all' forms of 'human effort,'give study to this great ques tion. We want no niore war, but if we must have war, we want to be as effective as possible arid we do not want abuses and profiteering at home. What are tha measures to be taken ? We cannot determine that question according to emotional desires, prob ably not according to abstract prin ciples and. probably not according to any pre-arranged formula.” MAGNA CHARTA DAY TO BE CELEBRATED St. Paul, Minn., June 12.—Magna charta day, June 15, will be honored throughout the English - speaking world, declares J.

The mileage by states is as follows: Alabama 3,872 Georgia 5,62 S This system of highways has been lesignated by the states and approved ay the secretary of agriculture as provided by the federal highway act >f 1921. According to this act the state highway departments were to designate a system of roads not ex ceeding 7 per cent of the total rural mileage for improvement with feder al aid and on which the government was to pay up to 50 per cent of the cost. Appropriations for federal aid to taling $540,000,000 have been made since 1916 and considerable progress has already been made on the sys tem. In these states the total appor tionment has been as follows: Alabama $ 9,710,910 Georgia 12,456,874 Although two of the appropriations were made before the federal highway act restricted the expenditure to roads df the federal-aid system, by far the greater part of'the expenditure has been on the designated system. On April 30 the bureau of public roads reports the status of construction as follows j Alabama—Total mileage completed, 434; mileage under construction, 853; mileage approved for construction, 4; funds available for new projects, $431,137, Georgia—Total mileage completed, 1.200; mileage under construction, 672; mileage approved for construc tion, 103; funds available, for new projects, $129,065.1;' ! .i# The above show that 3,266 miles of the 9,566 Wiles embraced in (he system in Thd' two states are either completed, under construction or scheduled for construction at an early datev In addition the states have improved roads on the system independent of federal-aid. Th whole federal-aid highway sys tem embraces approximately 170,000 niles of road- A careful study is be ing made of its present condition of improvement. An approximate esti mate based upon incomplete studies is that at the end of the year there were about 60,00*1' miles of surfaced roads and 8,700 miles graded, which leaves nearly 110),O®6 ! miles yet. to be surfaced. To bring this system up to service able standards, therefore, within the full decade ahead, will man a surfac ing program of about 11,000 miles for each of the ten. years; this in ad dition to additions to the systems, the separation' of grade l crossings,., recon struction, and. such other work neces sary.
