THURSDAY. AUG. 31. IMS
It is stated that the tobacco crop
of South Georgia sold for over
million dollars.
This is ;he time for every citizen
to have a part in bringing about
better conditions in this country.
While the government is consider
ing slaughtering 5.000.000.000 hogs,
they might aiso include a few road
hogs.
Let the city and county au
thorities figure closely on a fixed
budget end reduce taxes as much as
possible thi.: year.
Clean up your premises by cut
ting down the grass and weeds and
removing all trash before the ar
rival of the fall season.
The Union-Recorder's columns are
open to any discun-ion of questions
of public interest, and suggest ons
leading to the advanrement of the
general welfare.
If farm progress is to be per
manent a great deal depends on the
fanners own initiative, his courage,
his own aggressiveness and his own
earnest planning.

MILLEDCEVILLE-S PART IN THE NRA PROGRAM
I The N’RA plan is designed to put five •million men back on
payrolls in a short time.
When this is done, 20.000,000 people (assuming four to each
wage earner’s family) will suddenly be placed in position to buy
the normal necessities of life. That means that the total trade
volume of the nation will, upon the complete acceptance of this
plan, be lifted by frem 10 to 20 percent.
Mtlledgeville will have a definite share in this increased pros
perity to the extent that it participates in the plan, so there is a
responsibility on every citizen here to co-operate to the utmost to
'make this gigantic national plan a complete succesa Every EM
PLOYER and every CONSUMER has a definite responsibility to
assume.
THE EMPLOYER’S RESPONSIB.LITY:
NRA calls upon every employer to shorten hours of labor, so
as to make room for more employees.
Each industry will before long adopt its own code which will
fix the increased labor obligations to be assumed by all firms
associated with that particular industry. Until that time all employ
ers arc aifcad te sign the President's Agreement nnd to meet the
hours end wages established in that Agreement. This Agreement is
sometimes referred to as the Blanket Code.
The success of NRA therefore calls for the co-operation of
EVERY EMT -OYER.
It is to the Employers self-interest to do this. Why? Because
more people working, with bigger payrolls, will increase the 'market
for his goods. Every dollar spent by an Employer now for increased
payroll will return many fold as business flows from a consuming |
public, once more able to buy to supply its unfilled needs.
So EVERY EMPLOYER SHOULD SIGN THE PRESIDENT’S 1
AGREEMENT AT ONCE.
THE CONSUMER’S RESPONSIBILITY:
Every individual, man nnd woman, who buys anything, owes
it to himself and his community and to the nation, to buy only
from those Employers who have taken the increased burden of in
creasing payrolls to bring back prosptrity. This i-s to the self-inter
est of the consumer because no citizen can fail in share in this
udded prosperity. It will reflect itself in increased values for every
thing he owns. It will make his present position more secure by
reversing the process of deflation.
.SO EVERY CONSUMER SHOULD SIGN THE CONSUMERS
PLEDGE, which commits h.m to do hs part in this great national
economic experiment.
The duty of every citizen of Milledgeville is therefore plain.
The President has said:
“On the basis of th's simple principle of everybody doing
things together, we arc starting out on this Nation-wide attack on
unemployment. It will succeed if our people undr-retand it—in the
big industries, in the 1'ttle shops, in the great cities and in the
small villages. There is nothing complicated about it and there is
nothing par.icularly new in the principle. It goes beck to the basic
idea of society and of the Nation itself that people acting in a
group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could
even hope to bring about."
Milledgeville must do its part in this great plan. It'han never
failed when the nation called and it will not fail now.

has stood as a renroach to our na

be stopped before we can claim with
real pride our citizenship.
The news comes from Thomarton
that the tax rate for this year has
been set at $11 per thousand and

THE LEGION
The posts of the American Legion
are getting ready for the national
convention at Chicago which promises
to be the greatest gathering of the
•re-service men in point of numbers
since the war. It also ‘m : ght well
te fhe greatest gathering in the
•efinition and adoption of perman
ent policies and principles.
The Legion must make an import
ant decision. It must either follow
’he principles upon which it was
founded and remain the construc
tively patriotic lorguJiizataon and
make the welfare of the country its
first consideration or it will be pri
marily an agency for the promotion
of drafts upon the trearury beyond
he power of the country to sustain.
It 'must operate for the aountry’
rood as well as for the welfare of
the veterans.
In a recent address the national
commander, Louis Johnson said
“We owe it os a duty to our dis
abled comrades nnd our country to
adopt a definite policy that is I
upon reason and justice both to the
government and to the veterans.
Ours must be a policy founded upon
such pure justice that public opinion
will rally so strongly in support of
it that no group of men will dare at
tack it for selfish reasons. And
matter how tempting the proffered
fruit may he we must never permit
ourrelves 4o be carried beyond it’
-Such a policy as this would find
the unfaltering support of the pub
lic. It is the duty of the govern
ment to give aid to disabled vet
erans who by reason of their ser
vice are entitled to help, and tc
the dependents of those who have
-acrificed their lives in the service.
The Legion iihould rightfully -
-ise its influence in bohMf of jus
tice for those veterans who
ictuslly deserving of government
consideration.
It will be well for the contry and
well for the Legion when they per-
*iue thef policy ■'pu'JinK'd by their
commander.

Mr. Henry W. Branham, who has
been inspecting dairies through out
the State, was here last Friday and
few hours of Saturday. He stated
that of all the communities in the
State, Milledgeville should have a
milk and dairy inspector, to see that
the supply of milk for this city is
kept absolutely pure. To protect the
health of the people here he deemed
this absolutely necessary, as inv-
pure milk was a source of disease.
