Senator Carter Glass has set
worthy example, which every loyal
Democrat will emulate. He says: “I
would not support any movement to
split the party; I refused to join the
Libe’- League and have refused to
join -n.v orgonizpfion whose aim
runs ounter to the party. The
veteran Virginia Senator believes

noniv-.ted without serious opposi

The best method we have heard
of for dealing with drunken driver.:
has been adopted in one of the east
ern states. All c tnte officers have
instructions to watch saloons and
other places where strong drinks
served, and when a person showing
the effects of drink is seen to leave
one of the places and drive off in
a car his license number is taken
and his driving license revoked. In
this way it is not necessary to prove
in court that the driver was drunk
and get by the arguments of sharp
lawyers. This stop was taken be
cause the number of accidents
which whiskey fgured was getting
alarmingly high. In the first few
weeks the plan was tried, it
ported the number of accidents
fausf <i by drunken and careless
drive i ■ decreased about twenty per
cent. Georgia needs a driver's lic
ense law and the officers need to
take tops to revoke licenses under
1 he i ireumstances.
having to back out again,
and it is much easier to stop several
other cars, intrude on the ri e hu and
privileges of other drivers, and
cause the loss oi time and temper
and no little amount o' trouble. The
easiest way is to stop in the middle
of the street and let the other fel
low get by the best way he can.
This not only is a violation of city
traffic rules, but also is in viola-
I tion of a law Passed by the last Icgis-
jturo. which prohibits the stopping
i of a car '.*cr any cause whatsoever
with the inside wheels within eigh*
feet cf the center of a highway and
city streets are highways. Of course,
on some streets, where there is very
little traffic it does not amoun* to
much, but or Wayne and Hancock
streets, this habit causes consider
able inconvenience to other drivers,
and should be “topped.
Which reminds us of the fact that
man may be the kindest and most
polite person you ever saw in his
business or in his home, and a wo
man may live a strictly Emily Post
existence and be the acme of polite
ness in her home or anywhere else,
but when they get into a car on the
street or highway forget everything
they ever knew about the rights of
others. They become regular road-
hogs and consider nothing except
that they arc driving the car and
y one else should get out of the
way and let them go. Ana about the
nly thing one can do about it is to
et thorn have their way and hope
for the best.

THE LARGER CONCEPT
While chambers of commerce arc
created and supperted largely by
business men. and while they deal
primarily with questions that di-
•tly affect the business world,
they have been led by the ramifi
cations of business itself to deal
with a wide range of activities con-
of business because they affect
the general welfare of the com
munity.
Does business stop with buying
and selling, with producing and
distributing? On the contrary, it is
interknit with the whole social and j
economic fabric of our times. A
chamber of commerce in a city of
Ohio, let us say. puts on a cam
paign to speed up repairs and im
provements. One man of means
agrees to spend several thousands
of dollars in improving his estate.
Does that affect local business alone?
No. his improvements may involve
the ordering of stone from Indiana
or Minnesota, cement from Illinois
cr Iowa, ornamental devices, seeds
ana plants from other states—which
in turn affects labor, markets and
transportation in those several dis-
nt communities.
So with the larger aspects of busi-
:*ss; so with the relationship of the
chamber of commerce to business.
Directly and forcefully through cer
tain of its activities it serves the
interests of commerce, trade and in
dustry: indirectly, but no less ef
fectively, it serves those same inter
ests through its concern in matters
of community, state and national
legislation, by governmental policies
by social conditions and the man
ner in which people live, by the
degree to which they are educated
and even the extent to which they
are happy.
So. while the chamber of com
merce is essentially a business in
stitution. its horizon extends a lit
tle beyond pure business alone.
There arc imponderable factor- in-
•clved that embrace loyalty, civic
pride, community service, and the
willingness of individuals to per
form work they do not have to do
in order that others may be a little j
more prosperous, better educated,
more comfortably housed, surround
ed by conditions of greater safety
and sanitation, and afforded not only
better commercial opportunities but
richer possibilities of getting the
most out of life.
This is the larger concept of the
:ork of the chamber of commerce.

FIGURES TELL THE TALE
Under the above caption the Ogle
thorpe Echo explains some of the
benefits derived from the AAA. or
cotton control plan, as compared
with prices that prevailed during the
Hoover administration, while Hoover
sitting still like a cat looking
for prosperity to come around the
comer.
There is some dissatisfaction with
the plan that has been adopted be
cause some farmers apparently have
advantage over others in the allot
ment of acreage and number of bales
bo produced tax free. The obiect
of the plan was to reduce the pro
duction in order that better prices
could be obtained for cotton, and
notwithstanding this method of con-
»1. the yield has exceeded expecta-
THE auto drivers
' 'ho most annoying habit of
MiiicdgeviUe motorists is that,
• nrr their cars in the middle
' street and blocking traffic
1 timer for a block, while they
on conversations, do a litttle
r I'Ping, or pick up. unload, or wait
■ passengers. Nine times out of
.f n ' the motorist could pull
' e cu rb, park correctly, and be out
of tho way of traffic, but this would
tions.
The Echo presents some observa
tions by a farmer who claims U
have been benefited by the control
act and says:
‘The figures given by Committee
man Rice show that growers of the
county received last year twice a c
much for their cotton as they re
ceived in 1932 bitfore the AAA pm
grem was put in force. How then
a it be sold the regular
requirements of the AAA have or
are proving ruinous to cotton grow
ers as some of the aforesaid lead
ers claim?
•*We haven’t the figures at hand
but are safe in saying that more
cotton was produced in the county
in 1932 than in either of the past
two years. That being the case and
th* 4 growers receiving nearly twice
as much for the 1934 crop as they
did for the 1932 crop and nearly
fifty thousand dollars more for the
1934 crop as they did for the crop
cf the previous year it woudd not
seem that they arc being ruined by
the AAA or any other of the pro
grams of the government as to ctod
•gulation or production.
“It remains only for anyone to ac
quaint himself with the facts and
figures as to what the government’s
activities in .preventing over pro
duction and consequent unprofitable
prices for farm products to be con
vinced that the harpers on those ac
tivities haven’t the real interests of.
the farmers in view, or that attempts
-e not being made to mislead them.
“Cotton growers are not the only
farmers who have profited by these
activities. When the government in
stituted its AAA movement wheat
was selling at less than forty cents
a bushel. Today it is around a dol
lar. Corn was at such a low price
that it was found cheaper by farm-
of the coin-growing sections tr
burn it for fuel than it was to buy
other fuels. Today corn is bringing n
price in the markets that affords
the growers a reasonable profit, or
nt least at a sufficiently higher prin
varranl growers in burninr
it for fuel.
‘There are processing taxes on
both wheat and corn that are highc
proportion to value than is '
on cottcn that growers produce
above allotments, yet wheat and corn
are beinc benefited bv the
better prices for their products to
fully as great an extent as are cot
ton growers.
“Those who heard President
Roosevelt’s defense cf the AAA in a
speech he made in the west a few
days ago are convinced of the sound
ness of its policy.
“A few more years of its adminls
tration should and doubtless will lift
the farmers of the country out of
the financial stress that has been
theii portion for a decade past. Just
why any professed friend of the
farmers can find a word to say in
opposition to such an accomplish
ment is beyond us. Those who do
can very well he classed as more
interested in their political advance
ment than they are in the welfare
of the farmers."
LET THE PEOPLE JUDGE
The announced purpose of “The
National Lawyers Committee Ad
visory to the American "^Liberty
League” is to supply its opinion “as
a patriotic duty" as to whether the
legislation enacted under the Roose
velt Administration is “consonant
with the American constitutional
system and American traditions."
So. even in case some law or other
passed since March 4. 1933, may
have been constitutional, "the com
mittee of fifty eminent counselors”
may at least find that it violates
"American traditions." Which is cer
tainly all of the latitude any prose-
utor could desire.
But it must be admitted that there
is nothing about this super-auxili
ary of the Old Guard campaign that
is inconsistent with "the patriotic
duty" already performed abundant
ly by Messrs. Hoover. Fletcher.
Mills. Snell and Knox. These gentle
men, and Messrs. Jim Watson,
George H. Moses. Hamilton Fish
and others of tne second line, have
been insisting for months that both
“the American constitutional sys
tem and American traditions" were
wantonly disregarded in the passage
of every recovery measure to date
These include the acts of Congress
to refin-Jice homes and farms about
to be foreclosed upon at rates r'
interest long enjoyed exclusively
by large corporations; to insure
bank deposits up to $5,000; to safe
guard small as well as large invest
ors in securities; to life the buying
power of the great farm belt and
thus keep factories open. They have
especially deplored and denounced,
from the standpoint of tradition as
well as the Constitution, the elimi
nation of utility holding companies
which cannot supply an excuse for
their existence and the utterly un-
forgiveable aid of the subsistence
wage to heads of families without
work.
But not even the Federal Hous
ing campaign, so useful to the long
dormant heavy industries and
private lending agencies, has so
. poignantly piqued these patriots as
the TVA. Their realization that the
Roosevelt administration promptly
utilized the Government’s great war
time expenditures at Muscle Shoals
in procuring reduction of utility
rates to the extent of more than a
hundred million dollars a year has
been an excruciating experience for
the Old Guard. This circumstance
alone doubtless was deemed just :, i-
cation for bringing out for pu
perusal the carbon copies of con
stitutional and traditional opinions
rendered by the power trust coun
selors, some of which were exposed
by Senator George W. Norris. The
veteran Nebraska progressive
charged that they were already
second hand when they were being
proudly displayed on the Senate
floor by Senator Arthur Vandenberg
of Michigan.
Of course, one can imagine a
tendency toward resentment on the
part of the Justice of the Supreme
Court, which will reconvene again
next month, because of the implica
tion that their prerogatives are about
to he preempted. Meanwhile, the
average citizen can cogitate on his
own inability to qualify as a client
of the notable defenders of the
American constitutional system “and
American traditions’’ who comprise
this very unusual committee. But it
is doubtful if the average citizen
would Teel comfortable with this
array of talent as the censors
