SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS
’ ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
It is generally agreed that the pres- |
ent legislature is one of the "talkiest”
that ever gathered in this 'capital city
for the purpose of making and unmak
ing laws.
To call it "gabby” would be. perhaps
more or less irreverent, and yet no
other word seems so nearly to fit.
The house fools away hours and
hours of good, valuable time orating,
and usually to little or no purpose.
If the time consumed thus far in ut
terly inconsequential talk had been de
voted to the public business, the calen
dar undoubtedly would be in finer form
and there would be few bills unlikely
to come to a hearing, whereas there
now are hundreds that never will reach
a vote in any circumstances.
A particularly clear and lucid expla
nation was given the house a day or so
ago of a bill proposing a new county.
There was practically no opposition to
It— a t least, it was sure to pass safely.
The proposition was outlined definitely
the committee had recommended the
creation unanimously. If ever a law
seemed shaped up nicely for passage,
that law did. Nevertheless, the first
speaker was followed by another, and
another, and another, and still a fourth
another—all favorable to the bill, and
all covering identically and precisely
the same ground I
There are sure to be a dozen or so
"explanations” of votes on every aye
and nay roll call. They amount to
nothing whatever—they are not made a
part of the record, and even the news
paper men never bother with taking
them down. It is safe to say, however,
that from 30 tn 60 minutes come out oM
every day's business by reason of these
"explanations.”
There are members who "speechify”
on anything and everything:
The "gabbiness" of the present house
is amazing and astonishing! It sure
loves to hear itself talk!
The disfranchised Georgia negro
should consider the recently in
vented seedless watermelon. Every
negro knows that seed lake up a
lot of room in a watermelon, any
way, that might be utilized to a no
bler purpose.
Mr. Adams of Hall pul the laugh on
himself neatly during the progress of
the debate on the county solicitors bill
Tuesday.
Mr. Adams was eloquently and kind
ly, but firmly, orating in opposition to
the measure, when Mr. Wohlwender of
Muscogee asked him if even though he
did oppose the bill, lie was not willing
that the people might pass upon the
proposition.
The face of the gentleman from Hall
brightened perceptibly, and he turned
Old Michigan’s wonderful batter
Eats TOASTIES, ‘tis said, once a day.
For he knows they are healthful and wholesome
And furnish him strength for the fray.
His rivals have wondered and marvelled
To see him so much on the job,
Not knowing his strength and endurance
Is due to the corn in TY COBB.

triumphantly to the Muscogeeite and
said: "Yes, Indeed. Mr. Speaker, 1 would
favor that; and if the referendum clause
is attached to this bill. I will vote for
it cheerfully!"
Then Wohlwender maliciously in
quired if the gentleman from Hal] was
aware that the bill he was discussing
was a constitutional amendment, and
necessarily had the referendum clause
attached already!
Then Adams’ smile faded away, and
he plunged headlong into his argument
against the bill, regardless of the em
barrassing predicament in which he
found himself —but the house was'
laughing immoderately and the gentle
man from Hall was visibly disconcerted.
And, then, he didn't vote for the bill,
after all!
Over 1,000 babies have been
named for Woodrow Wilson since
the Baltimore contention. They
can not vote, of course, but their
proud [tapas can.
Representative Carl Vinson, of Bald
win, has a soil survey bill before the
committee on appropriations that is
approved widely by the farmers and ag.
ricultural interests of the state.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$25,000. and provides for a complete
survey and analysis of the soil of Geor
gia. and the proper charting and map
ping thereof, to the end that only such
fertilizer as will produce a maximum of
benefit shall be used In a given lo
cality.
The Federal government has appro
priated $3,000,000 to a national soil sur
vey, and Georgia has the right to par
ticipate in that fund to the extent of
$135,000. Nothing can be utilized by the
state, however, until the state shows
positive evidence of a desire to co-oper
ate with the national department of ag
riculture in the matter.
The passage of Mr. Vinson's bill
would mean that, within a year or two,
any person interested might find out
precisely what the soil of any county
of Georgia is best adapted to, its exact
composition and fertilizer necessities.
It would make intelligent farming much
more the rule than now.
Rains and floods come, and now
and then drouth gets in its work,
but the Georgia candidate crop al
ways is of the bumper variety.
Representatives Nix. Wohlwender and
Wimberly discussed somewhat at length
Tuesday the cost to the tax payers of
speech-making <m the floor of the
house.
Mr. Wimberly used $11.22 worth of
time, Mr. Wohlwender used $9.34 worth,
and Mr. Nix $3.67 worth during the
progress of the discussion.
