STATE REVENUE FROM GAS
SHOWS A DECIDED UPTURN
Attribated to Increase in Namber of
Ante* Licensed.
A $70,000 upturn in gasoline' tax
revenue for June, as compared with
May wax reported Tuesday by
George B. Hamilton, state treasurer,
who said the increase was attribut
able to the $3 motor vehicle license
fee proclaimed by Governor Tal-
madge.
"The increase is of course at
tributable to the increased consump
tion of gasoline brought about by
tbe fact that there are now more
than 50,000 licensed automobiles in
Georgia than wei* licensed during
the whole of 1932,'' said Hamilton.
The South can thank Franklin D.
Roofevelt for stuffing a cool $200,-
000,000 in its jeans.
There's $100,000,000 or more in
the offing, but this tidy sum, not
to be sniffed at where the price of
cotton means good times or bad for.
the 30,000,000 people of a vast agri
cultural empire, is cash in the hand,
says Robert Nixon, staff correspond- i
ent of InternaHoaal News Service.'
Some of it goes to the producer, 1
the dirt farmer whose sweat and toil
bring the commodity into being, but
much of it means direct benefit to
southerners in every walk of life.
Since Roosevelt entered the white
house in the dark days of ear*
March, with every bank in the land
closed and tradng on all exchanger |
suspended, cotton hao almost doubled ■
in price. (
In four montha the South’s cash
crop leaped in value from 6-30 cents
per pound to above 11 cents, an ap
preciation of $23.25 a bale.
'When the fleecy commodity touch
ed its peak early last month there
were approximately 8,500,000 baler
of cotton on hand in warehouses,
consuming establishments, compres
ses and farmers' bams.
It is this huge hold-over from the
12,500,000 bales ginned in 1932
and the gradually accumulating sur
plus of past seasons that has brought
Dixie its immediate cash .bonus
through the nearly doubling of value I
under the Roosevelt recovery pro
gram.
There's $100,000,000 more await
ing Dixie planter*, reward from the
federal government for voluntary de
struction of the 10,000,000 acres of
growing cotton this season. i

UNTIL WE LEARNED BETTER

But the state of the art
Member of the Veterans Club of
Miliedgcville voted unanimously to
affiliate with t u e Associated War
Veterans, the new veteran? national
political organization recently chart
ered in Atlanta, following a barbe-
and rally of veterans of Mid
dle Georgia held at Bank's Dairy
farm near here Thursday afternoon.
The Club has a membership of ap
proximately three hundred and
twenty-fiv^ new members signed up
today. Basil Stockbridge, of Atlanta,
formerly Georgia State Comman
der of the American Legion, made
the principal addreas. He was intro
duced by C. B. McCullar, local at
torney and President of the Veteran?
Club. Among the other speakers
were Frank B. Fling, Past State
Commander of the Department of
Georgia, Disabled American Veter
ans of the World War, Frank Calla
way, State Treasurer of the As
sociated War Veterans of Georgia,
Jegrie Hall, formerly Commander o!
the Atlanta Chapter of the D. A.
V., W- L. Gholson, formerly Com
mander of the Miliedgcville chapter
of the D. A. V., and Robert
Rixldenbeoy, Jn., of the Moultrie
Chapter of the organization. The
meeting was langvly attended
veterans and their faimitie*.
Mtt SJockJ•ridge; urged veterans
and theft- families and friends to or-
gainze for action and to be register
ed and prepared to vote in the forth
coming election?, stating that only
through the means of the ballot box
could the veteran get justice
Amcrca. He siso stated, “our or-
gan : zation urgrs the immediate cash
payment of the soldier bonus, as this
is the most effective way of stimu
lating national recovery. The Nation
al Recovery Act can not succeed un
less the purchasing power of the
masses is increased. There is no bet
ter way of bringing this about than
by putting the money whi|ch he has
already earned into the hand of the
World War Veteran.”
He also stated “We all know that
a few veterans have been paid pen
sions to which they ware
titled. However, ninety-i.ine per cent
of these cases arose by collusion of
political demagogues as a bid for
the veterans vote. This organisation
is not going to tolerate any thing of
this kind. Show ue an underaemng
where a veteran is receiving
money to which be is not entitled
and we will be the first to see that
he is put off of the G overran ent
rolls. W> must clean our rwr
We do not ask for anything to which
veterans are not entitled, but ws are

are going to educate veterans as to
their rights, 'register them and let
them and their families march down

’’^’ror’exawple^’wben we discarded wood-wteel body
not because we lacked wood. We still have sows thousands ° f
bast herd wood in Aserioa. Econoey would urge us to uss up tbs .wood
first, and than adopt the bettor all-eteol body. But we decided that
quality was nore important than expense.
Be weighed the reasons, for end against, bsfore so sade **•
Be could see only one reason for retaining a nixed wood-and-atewl body
—nailing the metal on, instead of welding an aU-steel bodyintoa
strong one-pl.ee .hole. That reason .as, it would be ch,ap ? r ~^° r "*1.
Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these. A wood-stosl
body is not much stronger structurally than its wooden frase. Ih all
American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used oar lot
gives evidence of this. Bair, seeps is between Joints and tha wood decays.
A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel construction.
Under extreme shook or stress the eteel body remains intact—dented per-
haps, but not crushed. _ , .
P Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for
furniture, but not for the high speed vehicles of 1933.
In the Ford body there are no joints to squeak, no saa*s to cracK
° r ^The all-steel body is sore expensive—to us. but not to you.
By all odds, then, steel bodies sees preferable. . . . ..
Wheels also have become aU-steel. No one argues that an eleotrioally
welded one-piece steel wheel, such as the Ford wheel, needs to be
"strengthened” by adding wood to it.
The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest, moat
durable body «ade. That is our only reason for making them.

in Georgia alone and several other
meetings are scheduled for thi? week
in various sections of the state.
