OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY
THURSDAY. MAY 23. 1935
A planning commission for Mil-
Icdgcville would do much toward
building for the future.
You certainly can’t make the e
mad by paying your subscripts
advance.
The chain letter craze died out
about as quickly as it started and it
left many suckerr holding the bag.
The canning plant offers the vege
table grower a fine opportunity
can their surplus and provide vege
tables for the winter months.
The person who writes a letter
and doesn't sign it cannot expect
consideration from the editor.
City politics are slumbering peace
fully on. Maybe the wise thing to
do is to let the sleeping lion be.
Unless some means are provided
to enforce the regulations of the NRA
it should be dropped and the quicker
the better.
Baldwin county farmers are going
to plant a larger cotton acreage this
year than last and this will no doubt
help some.
A South Georgia paper has sug
gested a campaign slogan for Geor
gia next year, the three R's—Roose
velt, Russell and Rivers.
America welcomed bock Admiral
Byrd last week This great southern
er has accomplished much in the
field of science and the tributes to
him have been fitting and proper.
Tho C. C. C. ramp will bring to
Milledgeville an $19,000 per month
expenditure. This should help busi
ness and our citizens should lend
every cooperation to get the camp
well located.
The farmers of this county favoi
the AAA program and the proces
sing tax. if the statements we hear
are an indication. Conditions 1.ax-
been improved and the farm income
doubled under the new deal.
This has been a fine crop yet
far, but much can happen before
harvesting time. All crops are xvell
advanced and especially attractive
are the vegetable gardens. Home
grown produce is becoming i
plentiful every day.
COL ALLEN’S STEECH
Col. Marion Allen came nearer
expressing the real sentiment back
of the New Deal for the farmers in
his address Saturday than any pub
lic expn-ssion we have heard so far
The benefits received by the
farmers were not' only forcefully
presented, but the reasons why there
e opposition to the AAA and
processing tax were logically ex
plained. Since the end of the Hoover
administration the farm income has
increased ninety per cent. Can an>-
deny that the Roosevelt pro- i
giam has not been responsible for
this increase? For years there had
been promised relief for the farmers
and this promise carried the pledge
gix-e the farm the same protec
tion and bnefits that industry en
joyed. The promises were alma^t
out when the Democratic ad
ministration began and for the first
! in the memory of man a prom-
to help the farmer became a
reality. Col. Allen showed this with
facts and figures and most con
vincingly.
The extile manufacturers have
enjoyed the benefits of government
protection for many years. High
tariffs have seen to it that the tex
tile manufacturer received a profit
for the goods manufactured. We have
objection to this, but we do be-
•e that if the textile people re-
re benefits and protection, the
farmer who furnishes the raw pro
duct is entitled to the same. The
processing tax is nothing but a pro
tective tarriff for the farmers. The
textile people want low priced col
on so that their profits can mount,
cgardless of what they may say
ibout it.
The textile people now have high
paid workers going about the coun-
condemning the processing tax
>ly because it reduces some of
their profits. The textile people in
ession with some of the big bank-
*rs of the state, only last week,
adopted resolutions against the pro
cessing tax and praised Governor
Talmadge for his fight.
At any rate, as Col. Allen pointed
out, if the textile people can have
processing tax nullified and
hammer cotton prices do\x-n to five
nd six cents per pound, their prof-
s will mount and more thousands
ill pour into their tills. The big
moneyed interests have started this
fight on President Roosevelt and
suprised that any man who
poses to be a friend of the Farmer
shoulcf join them in this fight.
The New England textile manu
facturers have enjoyed the protec
tion of government for many years
think it entirely unbecoming
of them to begnidge the farmer of
the little share of the profits he is
receiving. These people have
many millions while the farmer
has continued to be pauperized. The
AAA and processing tax is helping
the farmer and we are for it re
gardless of what others may say to
the contrary.
Col. Allen did not mince words in
:s support of this program and
President Roosevelt. He clearly gave
the pure facts and conditions of the
present situation.
If any person can site to us any
thing that has been done for the
farmer prior to the present activity.
-ill withdraw our remarks, but
until then we think it gross ingratu-
tude for the people of this state to
make unfair and unwarrented criti-
of the new deal program to aid
the farmer.
will not be interested in extending
the water system and sewers. How
ever, it would be in the interest of
halth and sanitation to make these
extensions now to all sections of the
city and to the suburbs, too.
And there is the matter of the
schools. G. M. C. is on the verge of
a great expansion and growth. The
grammar school is overcrowded and
needs much repair. With the addition
ew buildings at G. M. C. and
the program now in the making by
the Board of Trustees and Col. Jenk
ins. G. M. C. will become one off
the greatest military schools in the
nation. We confidently believe the
enrollment will increase three-fold.
Think what it would mean to the
income of Milledgeville with over
three hundred young men in school
here. This can all be accomplished
by action now.
The county has already worked
out a good program. The destruc
tion of the county jail and the erec-
tino of a new one is the first unit
Remodeling the Court House will
be the second improvement. Appli
cation has already been made for a
number of other important and pro
gressive improvements for the coun
ty and others are planed. Thd
County Ccbnmissioncrs are awakd
to the opportunities and are already
busy.
The FERA district ofice is ready
and anxious to help Milledgeville. It
is our opportunity. It will not pass
this way again. The council should
not delay longer and begin now
plans for the improvement of Mil-
ledgeville. We need to havjp thix
money spent here. All of us will
benefit from ft. It is a duty to the
future of Milledgeville and her citi
zens that this action be taken.

LEATHER THAT IS “JUST AS
GOOD” IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Augusta is this week celebrating
her bi-centennial. Hundreds of visi
tors are attending the gala celebra
tion. The people of this historic city
join in congratulations to our neigh
bor with the hope that new pros
perity begins with them.
The farmers are back of the Presi
dent as evidenced by the many mass
meetings held over the state at which
resolutions of endorsement were
unanimously adopted. The farmers
in this county believe the program
beneficial and they do not want to
return to the old methods of doing
business on the farm.
TIME FOR IMPROVEMENTS
If we ever intend to make any
more public improvements in Mil-
icdgcville and Baldwin county, nov
appears to be the time of all times
to make them.
Through* the $4,880,000,000 wort
relic? program, the federal govern
ment is offering to furnish all the
labor and forty per cent of the ma-
;erial for public improvements.
If we never intend to make any
■nore improvements in Milledgc-
rille and Baldwin county, of course
we are not interested, but if we ex
pect to do any improving in the next
len years, now would appear to be
the time to get busy on it.
