we have a good opinion of their mili

very much of the inside tactics or
are capable of judging drills. In .the
first place they cannot execute move
ments correctly themselves and this
being true they certainly are not
capable of judginjfkaUmr men in ac

cannot satisfy ourselves about.

CABBAGE PLANTS
I have thousands of very best cabbage plants grown from best
seed. At 15 cents per hundred. I am also taking orders for
the Wannamaker Cleveland Big Boll Cotton. These seed direct
from W. W. Wannamaker the original breeder.
You will find only about forty percent good seed in every bushel
of seed grown here last year. It will pay to sell these and buy
the best.

Showhsg the €ountty
that the new Nash ‘ too*' is the only ear of nil the new ears that offers
all these important features as standard equipment., at no extra cost
T HE new Nash "400” not only
gives you all the important
1929 refinements listed above, but
gives them to you without one
single cent of extra cost. All motor
cars have two prices—the factory
(f. o. b.) price, and the delivered
price. If the delivered price in
cludes the extras, charged for at
retail prices, you’ll find your car
costing a lot more than you antic
ipate.
Some dealers (not Nash dealers)
charge as much as $50 or $60 for
bumpers alone. On the new Nash
"400" you’ll find every necessary
accessory... hydraulic shock ab
sorbers . . . bumpers, front and
rear... even tire locks... installed
at the factory ... included in the''
factory price , . . at no extra cost.
That means a very much lower
price, delivered, fully equipped.
The Nash "400” leads the ivorld in
motor car value!

Central of Georgia Railway Discusses the H
Effect of “Valuation upon Railroad Rates
Frequent discussions of the “railroad valuation case” now before the United States Supreme
Court have appeared recently in newspapers and magazines. In some minds the impression has beea
created that the Court’s decision will be followed by immediate and drastic changes in the »ail-
road rate structure—that a lower basis of valuation will mean decreased rates while a higher
valuation will mean substantial increases. This i s by no means the case. <r ^
The move to have a valuation set upon {heir property was not inaugurated by the railroads,
the principal advocates of the Valuation Law passed in 191.3 having been the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the late Senator Robert M. LaFollette.
The question of freight o
•f^re the Supreme Court.
r passenger rates is not the primary issue of the case now being tried
The railroad involved—a nine mile switching road operating in St
Louis—is protesting the Commission's valuation of its property because under that valuation it must
pay to the government a portion of its earnings. The Transportation Act of 1920 requires that
any railroad earning in any one year more than 6 per cent of the “fair value” of its properties must
pay into the United States Treasury half of its income in execeis of 6 per cent. Valuation for “recap
ture” purposes rather than valuation for rate making purposes is the point at issue.
The revenue of the railroads from passenger traffic is annually decreasing and freight revenues
are likewise being impaired by numerous ra‘c reductions. The railroads have been able to meet
this situation only because of increased efficiency and rigid economy. There are, however, limits
beyond which efficiency and economy cannot go. If rate increases become necessary it will be be
cause these limits have been reached and not because of valuation of railroad property.
No matter what valuation is placed upon the railroads, every railroad must be allowed to earn
sufficient to keep its plant and equipment at a high standard of efficiency and to earn a “fair re
turn” upon the money invested in it. In no yea since the railroads were returned to the control
of their owers on March 1, 1920 have their earnings reached the rate of 6.3|4 per cent wiiich the Inter
state Commerce Commission has set as a fair return. Any further decrease in their earnings there
fore would endanger their ability to render, the kind of service that their patrons need and expect.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
