Fourteen nations have joined in
a cor., ?rtcd move to stamp out k : d-
naping and racketeers. The national
governments will supi lement

ters. Already the effort! are bearing
f-ults. Attorney-Generai Cunrmingr
declares ‘hat crimes committed for
the purpose of extortion had become
a national menace, and that the gov
ernment was prepared to spend every
cent necessary to end this racket.
Over 11,000,000 workers arc still
without jobs despite the 1,500,000
who have returned to work from
March to June, according to the
statement of William Green, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor. Mr. Green says that employ
ment gain have '.alien off because
business has delayed reorganzation
under the National Recovery Act,
and declares that the President’
blanket code to provide immediate
work for a large number has come
just in time to prevent the break
down of the entire recovery pro
gram.
MERCHANTS ORGANIZATIONS
If the N. R. A. accomplished noth
ing else it will ha-e rendered a great
service to Milledgeyillc by bring
ing the merchants closer together
and united under the name of
assoc ation to work out common
problems and better service to their
community as an organization.
It has always been a good argu
ment that Milledgeville needed a
tail Merchants Association and
it seemr that this has been done.
This organization can do much for
the common good and we feel sure
they will work harmoniously
the Kiwanis and county and city
officials to put these things over.
The road from Irwinton to the
Baldwin line has been completed-
The road on into Milledgeville should
be regraded and made ready

♦h*s i? a good th’ng for the i
chants organization to get behind
and help the county commissioners
to get the highway department to
order it done.

who have raised their standards and
arc trying to co-operate for the pub
lic welfare.
The recovery act orders business
to organize and competitors to co
operate. The word "compete" has
been eleminated and now the piti
less struggle between competitor
for public trade must stop and merit
must prove whether business will
surceea.
The N. R. A. must succeed. The
rovernment has ample authority
enforce its success. Merchants should
not hesitate longer and the purchas
er should begin now to recognise the
insignia of distinction and trade
the stores that display it.
The entire act is to be operated
in the public interest and the people
-hould work with their government
to bring about the changes desired.
FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE
The Industrial Recovery Act is
one of the great landmarks in the
peaceful development of this nation,
and the i iangee that it will enact
will provide moans whereby all in
dustry may better serve the public
welfare.
The people are in sympathy with
it and the majority of the business
heads also approve it. It is design
ed to give the worker better wage."
and better conditions of work, which
will prove of great benefit to the
nation.

COTTON PRICFS
The steady decline in the cotton
market has caused the farmer and
business man much concern as they
watch the markets, they wonder how
they can face the fall with other
prices continiously rising.
The estimate issued last week in
creased the first estimate t.vo and
one-half million bales. Thie
mediately brought the price down.
When the cotton plow-up plan was
inagurated the Secretary of Agricul
ture told the cotton former that
if he would reduce his acreage
that only tne million bales would
be produced the price would stay up
and the farmer responded. But right
on the heels of the price advance,
comes a reversal and although the
number of acres ployed up were
half-million greater than the govern
ment cstmate though -.vould be neces
sary, the estimators have placed the
corp this year at 12,500,000 bales.
It seems that the government
must do something about it and do
it now for the 1933 crop is coming
to market fast. An order closing
all gins until the matter could be
cleared up would help, because
tion must be immediate if the cot
ton farmer is to be saved. The gov
ernment must work out somc*plan to
get rid of these two-and one-half
million bales extra bales. The Macon
Telegraph has suggested that
mit cards for ginning be issued and
after the farmer has used his per
mit cards, he must keep the remain
der of his cotton at hone until the
demand wiB hvarrent its dinning.
This plan is good and may be work
ed.
At any rate, cotton prices must be
raised. The business of the agricul
tural south depends in a great meas
ure on good pricer for cotton.
Prices on all commodities are ri
merchants have entered the code and
ire rising wage prices and employ
ing more people. If they are to sell
their stock of merchandise this fall
at the new prices and be able
keep their pledge with the govern
ment to carry out the N. R. A., then
cotton prices must be boosted so that
the farmer will have the money to
buy his needs at the new high prices
and the merchant can in turn keep
his present help and pay them the
increased wages.
There is not time for delay. Some
action must he taken by the Agri
cultural Department at once, or the
advantages of a good cotton price
t'nic year will be lost.

Congressman Carl Vinson spent
Tuesday in Atlanta where he at

gia delegation in Congress to urge
.the federal government to release

Congressman Vinson said the en
tire delegation would go to Wash

President to release the fund. He
said the delegation would insist that
the present highway board he reco
gnized. The delegation will also urge
the President to take immediate
steps to stabilize the cotton price
and get it back *p to 12 cents.
