THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1924.
We welcome the Herald-Journa!
of Greensboro, Ga., to our exchange
table. Editor J. C. Williams is one
of the Nestors of journalism in
Georgia and his views and opinions
widely quoted and respected. We ad¬
vise Brother Williams, however, to
make Mr. McAdoo do around a little
more if he hopes for him to be Geor¬
gia’s choice for the presidential
nomination.

People who are otherwise well bred
often show bad manners in the use
of the telephone and the automobile
horn. When we answer our tele¬
phone and hear the caller demand
to know “Who is that?” we feel like
answering Who ’n’ell do you want?’’
And when someone pushes her (yes,
it’s usually a her) automobile horn
to attract the soda fount clerk’s at
tention just as we are passing, caus¬
ing us to jump nearly out of our skin,
we are again filled with profane re¬
sentment. And the bird who stops in
front of a residence and hasn’t the
manners to get out and push the
front door bell, but blasts his auto¬
mobile horn loudly and long to sum¬
mon the person wanted shows scant
consideration for sick or nervous or
refined people in the neighborhood.
Only thoughtlessness, of course; but
shouldn’t one be more thoughtful
and considerate of others in these
little things?
«■
UNDERWOOD OR MCADOO
We don’t propose to get red in
the face over the presidential prefer¬
ence primary in Georgia, since Mr.
Reed has wisely kept out of
the race. We’d be willing to run a
hot box ( on our pencil hand to help
put the kibosh on him. As between
Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Underwood we
aren’t going to get mad "with any¬
body. But we can’t help but feel that
Mr. Underwood’s congressional ex¬
perience and record make him the
safer man for the job—and the bet¬
ter man from the standpoint of the
South’s interests.
He has come clean on the prohibi¬
tion question, declaring himself in
favor of enforcement of the present
laws and against their modification.
It shouldn’t be held against him that
he voted against the prohibition bills
as they were framed up, but it should
be counted to his credit that after
they were enacted he has voted for
every appropriation asked for their
enforcement. We need a man fjor
president who is big enough to do
more than merely sit as a watch¬
dog over the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act.
A lot of good people have devel¬
oped a monomania on this subject
and regard the enforcement of the
Federal prohibition laws as the sum
total of national government. They
forget that the Georgia prohibition
law is even tighter than the Federal
laws, and doesn’t cost anything like
as much in money and life to enforce
—and comes just as near being en¬
forced.
WHY SENATOR HARRIS
OPPOSES MELLON PLAN
U. S. Senator Wm. J. Harris of
Georgia has sent the following letter
to the newspapers of the State ex¬
plaining his opposition to the Mellon
tax plan, and telling of other work
he is doing for his State. As The
Leader-Tribune regards Senator Har¬
ris as a hard-working, honest public
servant—a real. “go-getter” for his
constituents—we are glad to give
space to his letter.
Senator Harris’s Letter
il I have received hundreds of let¬
urging ,
ters me to support the Mellon
tax plan, but I doubt if many of the
writers have had an opportunity to
make a careful comparison of this
plan with the Democratic plan. Few*
probably realize that in Georgia there
are only 48 people, most of them
millionaires, w*ho would be benefited
more by the Mellon plan than by
the Democratic plan, while 67,671
would be benefited more by the Dem
ocratic plan. I am supporting tax
t reduction legislation,
but I am un-
itble to agree with Secretary
that income taxes of the
should bo reduced more in
tion than taxes on small incomes.
plan saves millions for millionaires,
while I favor reductions for millions
of hard working people with small
incomes.
"Ti,< proposition to reduce the tuxes
on “earned” incomes, that is, incomes
derived from wages, salaries and pro¬
fessional services as well ua incomes
i of farmers and merchants, will soon
j become a law. It was advocated first
by me in the Senate more than two
years ago, but was voted down by
the Republicans. Secretary Mellon
opposed it then, but I am glad he now
see the justice of my plan.
“May 1 impose upon your patience
to tell you of other work of mine
here? It has been my policy to try
to keep the people informed of what
I am doing as their representative
in the Senate.
“One of the great burdens of the
farmer is the expense of getting pro¬
duce to market. I introduced a bill
that will reduce this expense and thus
help the farmers as well as the town
and city people, and it has been unan¬
imously recommended by the Senate
Post Office Committee and the Post
Office Department. It provides for
reduction of parcel post rates on
farm products, such as eggs, butter,
vegetables, etc., and a commission is
paid to the carriers for the service.
Railroad freight rates on farm pro¬
ducts should be reduced.
“I have arranged with the Secre¬
tary of Agriculture to notify the
farmers daily by radio of the price
of cotton. All receiving stations
in the small towns will get this ser¬
vice.
“The Senate has recently passed
bills introduced by me to change gov¬
ernment reports of estimates of cot¬
ton acreage, amount ginned, etc., in
an effort to prevent Wall street
gambling, which depresses the price
of cotton.
“One of the few measures passed
in December was my resolution di¬
recting the Geological Survey to in¬
vestigate the amounts of arsenic de¬
posits available to make calcium ar¬
senate, which should increase pro¬
duction and reduce the price of this
boll weevil poison. I am at dork on
other measures that will benefit the
farmers and all our people. I am a
member of the Committee of Appro¬
priations and Georgia gets more ap¬
propriations than any other state in
the Southeast.
“I have always opposed and
shall continue my opposition to im¬
migration.
Very truly yours,
Wm. J. Harris”

TEN COMMANDMENTS
FOR EMPLOYEES
The following “Ten Command¬
ments” for employees, attributed to
a salmon cannery in Western Canada,
are not new, but arc well worth re¬
peating:
1. Don’t lie. It wastes my time
and yours. I am sure to catch you in
the end and that is the wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the clock.
A long day’s work makes a long day
short: and a short day’s work makes
any face long.
3. Give me more than I expect,
and I will give you more than you
expect. I can afford to inciease your
pay if you increase my profits.
4. You owe so much to yourself
you cannot afford to owe anybody
else. Keep out of debt or keep out
of my shops.
5 . Dishonesty is never an accident.
Good men, like good women, never
temptation when they meet it.
6. Mind your own business and in
you’ll have a business of your
to mind.
7. Don’t do anything here which
your self-respect. An employee
is willing to steal for me is
to steal from me.
8. It is none of my business what
do at night. But if dissipation
what you do next day, and
do half as much as I demand,
last half as long as you hoped.
9. Don’t tell me what I’d like to
but what I ought to hear. I
want a valet for my vanity but
for my dollars.
10. Don’t kick if I kick. If you’re
while correcting you're worth
keeping. I don’t waste my time
specks out of rotten apples.
