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 citizens living in that section say the deer have multiplied very rapidly and that there are now a ! ■,!vo number in that section.

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.

We don’t know, unless they have been forgotten be muse we can’t remember of a case rVf>r having been made against any one for violating them. We know they are being violated because you can't drive very far at night now 1 ithout meeting a wagon or two • :id we have yet to see one with a h-’-ht or reflector, and the one-eyed ' are almost as thick as mosqui- But in our opinion as bad if ' i worse menace to night driving the motorist with two headlights : '"ht as they make them and fuses to dim the lights when • another car.

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. -News. El Dorado. Ark.

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 ^DCASTINfe Uettric Heating P>4> {2iS R'l*r 59c Nek* Kara _ ~ ifc Regular 50c 8-mck Sciuors ., Me Shoe Politb (Any Color) j for 15^ Full Pint Rubbing Alcohol |9c 100 Pure Aspirin, 5 Gr 32c Vrks Salve, White Stainless 25c Kotex .. |9c Fecial Tissues, 200 Sheet 19c 50c Tek T.
