Exclusive of the officers of the National Guard in this city, for we have a good opinion of their mili tary knowledge being products of G. M. C., we cannot believe they know 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 tion. The pi r-onellaJi the Georgia National Guard officers as far as men are concerned is alright, but “ t!r military ability is one hting we cannot satisfy ourselves about. G.

HORNE Comparison al the Motor Shows is 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!

College Hill Service Station - — :xrxxxxxxxxmrrrTxrrrxrrxxxxrrxxxxrxrxxx7 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.
