IW PM PLAN
IS DELAYED Os 3
COUNGILMEN
•Hall, Guess, and Baker Say
Too Much Money Is Spent
on the North Side.
Although an overwhelming majority
of the council favors the Ivy street
development plan, three councilmen and
possibly that many aidermen will pre
vent for more than a month the final
passage of the bill providing that the
work he done. There seems to be no
doubt that the council ultimately will
pass the bill, for the property owners
have agreed to advance the $30,000 nec
essary to do the work.
By a vote of 3 to 3. the lower branch
of council yesterday voted for it, Coun
cilmen Orville Hall. Car! Guess and
"Jack" Baker opposing it on the
grounds that too much money was be
ing spent for north side improvements.
Tht aidermen did not have an opportu
nity to vote, for Councilmen Hall and
Guess gave notice of a motion to re
consider the matter at the next regular
meeting of council, which is the first
Monday in September.
Aiderman John E. McClelland ex
pressed himself in a vigorous speech
and let the city fathers know that he
would hold up the matter in the al
dermanic board as his colleagues had
done in council.
Hall and Guess Together,
1 understand that two councilmen
can hold up such a resolution as this
until the next regular meeting of coun
cil by giving notice of a motion to re
consider." said Councilman Hall, after
a lengthy speech giving many figures
and facts.
When informed that he was correct,
he said:
"I make the motion. All right. Carl."
Councilman Carl Guess arose and
seconded it.
When Councilman Hall was in the
midst of his attack on the project, Al
derman Maddox arose.
"Mr. Chairman,” he said. "I move
that we do now adjourn until tomorrow
morning at 7 o’clock in order to give
Mr. Hall all the time he wants to finish
his speech."
Councilman Hall said that he was
sorry his colleagues did not care to
hear his opinion. He said he had stud
ied hard on this matter and was sin
cere. When he was about to sit down
a motion was made and carried extend
ing his time ten minutes.
In a few minutes he and Councilman
Harvey Hatcher began a colloquial
discussion of the amount of work done
this year on the south side. Aiderman
Maddox again protested.
"If these gentlemen want to carry on
such a discussion as this." he said, "I
suggest that they meet in one or the
other’s office tomorrow. We have a lot
of other matters to attend to here.”
That ended Mr. Hall s speech.
Councilman Aldine Chambers, candi
date for mayor, took the floor in favor
of the Ivy street plan. He said the
Improvement of Ivy street would be
one of the greatest possible means to
relieve the congestion on Peachtree
street.
He had not got settled in his seat
before Aiderman John E. McClelland,
iko a candidate for mayor, was on the
floor attacking tiie Ivy street plan and
declaring that the south side was being
cheated out of its just proportion of
improvements.
It was whisper d around the cham
ber that it was rank discrimination
against the candidates for mayor who
were not members of council if the
campaign for mayor was to be con
ducted on the floor of council. Council
man Albert Thomson even made a mo
tion that the privileges of the floor be
extended to Dr. George Brown and
Steve R. Johnston, ’the other candi
dates.
Debate Howell's Case.
There was a long debate over wheth
er council should recommend to next
year's council that $5,000 be appro
priated to pay Albert Howell for a
ten-foot strip of land at the corner of
Peachtree street and Ponce DeLeon
avenue. The resolution finally was
adopted, after an amendment had been
attached providing that it not be paid
until waivers for damage had been
signed by all property owners between
Ellis and Fifteenth streets. The prop
ertv owners have agreed to advance
the money to Mr. Howell, because he is
ready to begin the erection of a $500.-
000 building, which would make the
widening of Peachtree street impossible
if it was not set back ten feet.
The chief of construction was in
structed to prepare a profile for a new
grade on Whitehall street, between
Trinity avenue and Cooper street. The
plan is to regrade and repave this
street.
In view of the approval of Governor
Brown of the city charter amendment
bill, giving council authority to clpse
the Forsyth street underpass and to
completely reorganize the street im
provement system, a special committee
was appointed to take up the Forsyth
street underpass matter, with Claude. (.’.
Mason chairman. Council was ad
journed until next Monday, when the
reorganization of the street improve
ment system will be taken up.
As a first step a committee will be ap
jrolnted to make a sweeping investiga
tion of the chief of construction's office.

“Hog, hominy and hay,” as
one of his planks in his race

VETO OF DEMOCRATIC
BILLS JUSTIFIESTAFT’S
RE-ELECTION —HILLES
By CHARLES D. HILLES.
Chairman of the Republican Na
tional Committee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—President
Taft's record in this session of con
gress alone deserves so large a meas
ure of admira-
tion and gratitude
from the Ameri
can people as to
insure his re
election end 1
believe it will.
He has stood like
a rock in oppo
sition to the "leg
islative recall,"
wjiich the Demo
cratic house has
attempted t o
practice on the
commerce court.
He has exerted
a potent influence
to prevent Demo
cratic parsimony
from crippling the
navy.
fa *" ?•
He has been as adamant against the
efforts of the Democrats to mutilate
the civil service by legislation which
would cancel the employment of every
government employee at the end of
seven years and thus necessitate a re
sort to th old and discredited "pull.”
He has compelled the legislative
branch of the government to observe
the constitutional provision for three
co-ordinate branches of the govern
ment which it attempted to override
by an effort to legislate a general of
ficer cut of the office of chief of staff.
He has sought by every possible
means to inculcate in a recklessly ex
travagant Democratic majority In the
house the principles of public economy,
and he has endeavored by a series of
presidential messages to guide the leg
islative branch along the lines of wise
legislation, beneficial alike to producer
and consumer, to the wage earner and
the employer.
His Stand For Commerce Court.
Congress, seeking only to inculcate
favor with the thoughtless, has seen fit
to attempt to abolish by legislative en
actment the commerce court because
certain of its decisions have been un
popular.
It has wholly disregarded the all
important fact that by means of that
court the litigant has been enabled to
secure the adjudication of his claim
against the railroad in six months, in
stead of waiting two years, which was
the average time required to settle an
appeal to the circuit court before the
commerce court was created. The ad
vantage of such a reduction to every
shipper who has not unlimited means
at his disposal all must appreciate, as
also he must appreciate how little, by
comparison, such delay inconveniences
the wealthy and powerful road.
It has seemed popular to denounce
certain decisions of the commerce court
; s inimical to the interests of the ship
pers, even- as a travesty on justice.
Even were these charges true. the
shippers would have been deprived of
no rights, for the same right of appeal
to the supreme court which the ship
per always enjoyed is still open to him
and in at least one instance the su
preme court has overruled the com
merce court in the interest of the ship
per. These charges are tiot true, how
ever.

Griffin. Ga.. Aug. 20, 1912.
Editor The Georgian:
Mr. Paul B. Trammell.
Dear Sir —In reply to your last card,
which appeared in the paper yesterday.
1 desire to say that I had charged you
with having changed your vote in the
Tallulah Falls Power Company matter,
first having voted for a capitalization of
$47,000,000, and subsequently voting to
allow this company to capitalize for the
full amount asked for, the same being
$57,000,000 I further charge that your
kinsman and business associate was
employed by this company. You denied
that your kinsman and business asso
ciate. Mr. Oliver Starr, had been em
ployed by this company. 1 notice in
your card that Mr. Starr has confessed
as to his connection and employment by
this company. This raises the question
of veracity Between you and your kins

tenance of the American navy would
have been brought to an absolute
standstill by Democratic parsimony hail
it not been for the persistent efforts of
President Taft and the members of hi
cabinet which have made so plain to
the American public the needs of the
navy. Patriotic Democratic newspa
pers here condemned in unmeasured
terms the course of their representa
tives in congress, so that now there is
every- prospect that at least one battle
ship will be authorized.
The Democrats have sought persis
tently to nullify the great reforms
which have been accomplished by Re
publican administrations in the estab
lishment of a civii service free from
political influences. To this end. and in
order to make the civil service em
ployee once more dependent upon the
whim of the congressman, the Demo
crats in the house passed a bill which,
had it been approved by President Taft,
would have made it necessary for every
government employee to turn his at
tention from the work ui the govern
ment and to devote it to cultivating
such political Influence as would insure
his retention at the end of each seven
yagr period. Fortunately this provi
sion. as well as that which provides for
the legislative recall of the judges of
the commerce couit, are contained in a
single appropriation bill which will be
properly vetoed by President Taft.
Saving an Army Officer.
When the politicians in congress
sought to legislate out of office a gen
eral officer because he had not sought
first their favor at t’he expense of the
economical and efficient administra
tion of the army. President Taft
promptly vetoed the army appropria
tion bill.
Tlje success of the attempt would
have encouraged every military politi
cian and discouraged every army officer
w ho. true to his calling, sought only the
efficiency of this great arm of the na
tion s defense. A less courageous pies
ident might have sought to promote his
personal popularity by signing the bill,
even at the expense of the army’s wef
fare, but in this, as in all cases. Presi
dent Taft refused even to consider
questions of political expediency and
persisted in standing for the right, even
though by so doing he might incur the
enmity of powerful members of. con
gress, some of them in his own party.

LONE MISTER
ROOTS 3 ROBBERS
Falls Into Creek in Death Grap
ple With Negro—Saves $750
Money Bag.
•
To keep workers at the Intrench
ment creek plant of the sewerage con
struction work from losing their pay,
Cai King fought three robbers, put
two to flight, and narrowy escaped
drowning when he and the third high
wayman fell In the creek in a death
struggle for tiie money bag containing
$750. The negroes are being hunted to
day.
King had been to the city to draw
the payroll for Chester A. Dady, who
has the contract for the work, and was
nearing the Intrenchment cteek plant
when approached by a trio of negroes.
They were all armed with revolvers.
Just previously. King had picked up
a club from the roadside and had it in
his hand when he was accosted.
The revolvers didn't worry him. Ho
swung his club and the nearest robber
was sent scurrying away with a split
head. He attacked the second so
fiercely that he. too. took to his heels.
The third highwayman was of more
determined stuff. He grappled with
the paymaster and a desperate strug
gle was on. So fierce was it that both
men fell from the road Into the creek
running along its side. Still they
fought, until exhausted and half
drowned, the negro gave up and break
ing away made his escape.
King was too weak to follow, but
the money was saved.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR
J. D. PRICE
For Commissioner of Agriculture.
To the Voters of Georgia:
The law of Georgia specifically re
quires that the Commissioner of Agri
culture sljall be a PRACTICAL FARM
ER.
Mr. Price is the ONLY practical
farmer in the race—the only candidate
who actually gets his livelihood from
his farm.
Mr. Price has been a farmer all his
life and has made agriculture a study.
He has traveled all over the state, vis
iting more than 81) Georgia counties in
the interest of his campaign, and has
made this an opportunity to see and
learn just what Georgia farmers need.
Mr. Price believes it the duty of the
state to afford every possible encour
agement to the small farmer, who is
largely the state's agricultural depend
ence.
If elected, Mr. Price will see to it
that the department stands as a pro
tecting bulwark between the people and
the manufacturers of fertilizers, foods
and oils, to the end’ that they may
know, when they read the label on the
package, that it tells them exactly what
they are getting.
