To ■ the Editor of‘Tho Georgian: ‘ ' '• In«beh4lf-»Af organised -labor- I• wish.to express , to.yon their gratitude for your manly editorial on the utterances of the president of the American Bottlers'- Protective Association concerning the labor untqqa. , la measuring yoii up, not:only by.that editorial, but by. your attitude on similar occasions in thn .past.vwe-.do-not claim you. at. our. friend any more than any class of true American citizens should • claim .ydu. Your expressed sentiments In the past an<\ your present attitude for “equal rights to all and Bpeclal privileges to none," stamp you as a man who Is loyal to the .principles that go to make a true American, and one In whose breast throbs a heart that Is filled with sympathy (or any man or class of men who stand for those principles. As organised labor Is loyal to such principles we can but claim you as our friend. Your ringing words come as a sweet message of love and encouragement to all true men who have any respect for high Ideals, and the honest efforts of others who seek to attain unto them, and must, therefore, be a stinging rebuke to any who fall to possess these attributes of.manhood, whether they chance to be a president of a great business associa tion of men or not. The Georgian Is a model paper, clean In every respect and as such can. but demand the respect of nil truly good people, and I am sure that It does not covet the respect of any other class. Such a paper cannot be antagonistic to any class that Is In harmony with all that Is good, be they labor unions, bottlers' associations or corporations. Long live The Getorglan. • \V, A. WELLS. Member of the Machinists’ Union, Atlanta, Ga. Atlanta, Ga., October 12, 1900. Thts letter Is peculiarly pleasing to The Georgian because It evidences a thorough comprehension of the spirit and purpose on which this paper Is founded, and or the. motives by which it is moved. We took frlondly issue with President Hugo, of tho bottlers’ convention, not because wo.desired to win any especial good will from the labor unions of Geor gia (for they are now and hqvo always' been our friends), but for the simple reason that President Hugo’s position appeared to us to be abstractly unfair, and In equitable In denying to the labor!qg people the very right of organization which In tho next breath ho vehemently and eloquently urged upon his own fellow workers in the Bottlers' Association. it was tho spirit of justice and fain play for which we contended, and for which we shall always contend, and in this Instanco wo should just as promptly have taken tho bottlers' side If the labor unions, urging their own organization, had protested the right of the bot tlers to organize for their own proflt and protection. If President Hugo had attacked any other cIubs of our'citizens in his opening address, perhaps'' solhe - of our.'contemporaries would hare more promptly joined us In their defense. Fair play’s a jewel, and while we may grope among many complex and baffling problems of this ■ strenuous age, we can at- least keep close In advocacy to one or two clear, simple truths llko this, and exalt tho golden rule which teaches men In business, as in religion, to do unto other's at they would that others should do unto them. ■ * * We are very glad that Mr. Wells la.broad enough and clear enough to see and to express The Georgian's motive In the various questions and controversies in which we are moved to participate. * i The Cattle Industry Speaks. ''To the Editor of The Georgian: Dear Sir:’ ’As an Interested member’of the Geor gia Dairy and'Live Block Association, I read your 'editorial October 8 on the cattle Industry. Your re marks I-claim-do not do full justice to tho South ern farmers, and-1 think you should correct yourself to the extent of calling to the attention of the thou- * sands of farmers, dairymen and beef men reached by ,your paper, that we have as an evidence of their high standing, the greatest exhibit ever shown by 'Southern cattlemen to be held at the Georgia State -Fair, October 10th to 20th. The rush for avatlabio .show space will be overcrowded. On thorough-bred Jersey cattle alone there Is f1,000 In premiums to be ‘given away'by the. American Jersey CatUe Club and 'one-half this amount added by the fair association. The exhibit of Hereford and other beef breed will also be notable arid something to be proud of. Their ■ Jersey • exhibit will be from Southern States and : Sooth of the cattle quarantine line. These facts witness flrst that the Southern ■ farmers have the chotce bred stock to exhibit, and „ second that there are a plenty of flrst class farmers with dally increasing numbers who realtzo the profit In keeping only thoroughbred dairy cattle and beet cattle—each breed for its own particular purisuo. .The common and less profitable cross breeds are fast being culled out. After seeing the exhibit. Mr. Editor, please tell us 'then what you think of the South. SUBSCRIBER. * Dunwoody, Oct. 9, 1906. It gives us a very genuine pleasure to publish the letter of our subscriber, who is.a well known and Influ ential planter, and to receive his nssurance that tho-cat- tle Industry is yet vital and prosperous In the .South. We have not yet found tlmo to visit the fair and to observe the exhibit to which our correspondent directs attention, but we have heard.from others that It is at tractive and suggestive of progress In this line. We commend the view of It to the readers of The Geor gian. We still contend, however, that the basis of our. edi torial of the 8th was sound, and that there should be a larger and more active Interest In the raising of cattle ' throughout the state. Every Interest of the fanner and | A Great Lesson For Atlanta to Learn. t Atlanta boasts itself.as the.Twentieth,Century city of the South. The splendor of Its pnblio buildings,: the jagged grandeur of Its sky line, the beauty of its" streets, the perfection .of Its stores, and the general.atmosphere ot--,presperity and life 'upon - Its thoroughfares justifies t , \ , > * the appellation. ■ ' * And Atlanta Is growing with wonderful rapidity. It Is growing not only In. population, in size. In commer cial Importance, but'It Is growing, majestically in the number ol'lts wants'and in the necessity of other and larger Improvements to keep pace, with its advancement and'with Its population. » ’ - In stating this last proposition .we stand face to face with a grave- and serious question of municipal policy. How Is Atlanta.to obtain Jtho things which Atlanta de sires'and which Atlanta “need's? How' are Its" great public buildings to grow, how are Us Institutions of general 'Interest and utility, to be built, and from whence Is.to. come-the money with'which its majestic necessi ties are to be met? — Here Vo'stand, face' to face .with'the- public policy by which cities riso 'or fall. - • * . /..Let us-speak-fqr a momenj, thrqugh.the .-mouth of a vigorous add. loyal'citizdn. The .editor of The Georgian in-a casual conversation Vas-disfcusaing this-phase, of growth..jviih. Colonel tHarry L. ,Schicsinger,..whose ‘.devo tion to the city and whoso intelligent conception of its needs is not surpassed by any gther. citizen of,Atlanta. “What do you think of the future?’’ was the'question “and how are, we to do tho things.that we warft to do?” and this Is what Harry Schleslnger said: - “A city cannot be built by private subscriptions. Talking about Peachtree street needing paving and no funds to pay same. Hire on -the -North 'Side so am not talking against paving Peachtree street. Of course. It needs It without a doubt, and every other street In the city needs repairs. I don't wish to be"- understood as finding fault with tho gentlemen who have that in charge, for you can't build streets without money. If there has been a mistake mado in reducing taxation some time ago, the taxes should at once be raised to the amount that will fcnable us to carry on the city 1 # business. I don't think, that wo should get our revenue or depend on our reve nue from the unfortunate. This Is not a village, but : a city, and we need city Improvements, and you can't have city improvemontB with village capacity. “We need streets; wo need waterworks; we need sewerage; we need an nuditorlum, an armory and a city hall. Now, from what I can see .we must raise taxes and Issue bonds. That seems very„ )>lalu to any business man. We have talked, and ' talked, and talked about this thing and nothing b'uf talked, now, let's go to work. "Atlanta Is my home and I expect to live here - the balanco of my life, and I don't want to 1 live In n finished town, but I do want improvements to continue, and surely necessities must be-provided ~ for.” . j To the mind of The .Georgian these remarks contain ed tho esaenco of common sense. . It Is not right or just In the abstract that great en terprises and institutions should be built by the- sub: scriptlons of n few gejerous private Individuals.- Tho great enterprises are for the common welfare; the com mon pleasure and tho general good. They aye to be enjoj'ed and they are to be used by the genarpi pub lic of tho future—-and the general public ought to-pqy for them. It n meeting of citizens decides that Atlafifa stands In urgent need of a great public institution, and tho prose Is Invoked to agitate the subject and to arouifo the people, it will be found when -the thing Is over that some 600 or perhaps 2,000 people have contributed by prlvnto subscription, every dollar of the money fbr tho erection of an Institution in which 120,000 people havo an equal Interest and an equal stake. Now thts is neither equitable nor is It wise. Each citizen to the extent of biz ability should psy for en terprises In -which his convenience and safety is in volved, and the only way known unto man by. which this just and equitable assessment of subscriptions can be mado U through the Intelligent and dispassionate aid of tho tax assessor and tho tax gatherer. Tho supreme lesson which Atlanta has to learn In Its stately steppings toward a greater future ts a tranquil and courageous View of the subject of taxation. s - When the public Judgment of our wise citizens do- etdes that Atlanta urgently noeds and oyghtto have a public improvement and n public Institution, then the whole people of Atlanta should frankly and fearlessly face the question of being taxed in a just and equita ble manner for their common good. One man may contribute $2,600 for a public enterprise in which he has no larger Interest than 20,600 of his felloy citizens. And, In the long run It will be found that wo will have moro enterprises and moro Institutions and moro growth If we shall distribute the expenses of this development among all tho people rather than rest It upon tho* generous few,. Our newspapers and our public men should begin horo and now to educate tho %tass of our citlzons (and by the mats we mean tho prosperous as well as those of .moderate means) that It Is only through a just and equltnble taxation that all of us can be Induced to con tribute our just and proportionate share of the money that goes to make our Twentieth Century city what we aspire Vo have It be. If Atlanta's taxation has been recctftly reduced be low the level of our patent and pressing necessities, then every Instinct of public policy and public spirit would In duce us to restore the taxation to Its original limit until our vital Improvements havo been established and the emergency removed. • ’ The wholo genius of government and of growth rests upon a proper conception and a proper appre ciation of taxation. Human selfishness is always willing to permit the money of the few to meet the necessity of the many. But human wisdom it onco aroused will easily recognize thnt tne wisest thing is to stand under the guidance of un intelligent law and to permit dis passionate officials in loasonable assessments to Induce the whole people to do their share In the things that are necessary and the things that are wise'. Let us cease to be afraid of taxation, honestly made. Let us cease to fear additional taxation for indispensa ble Improvements. Let us e'ease to He down upon a gen erous and public spirited few for our general growth and development. Let us comprehend the desirability' and the nobility of an equal effort and an equal sacrifice on tho pnrt of every- citizen. And when wo-have learned this splendid lesson tho future of Atlanta will be no longer a question of doubt but a distinct and magnificent certainty. * OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning'its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its Water works. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years bof fore We are ready for so big an undertaking., Still-Allanta should set its face in that direction NOW I gossip! cm, TILE# HIES Southern Capitalist and R R.
