MARC H 5. 1936 load to a safer conduct of traffic in the business section. The Wayne street boulevard seems I to be a speedway for many autoists. This excess speed can be corrected i easily and *ve hope the police will take steps immediately. This is one of the most frequently used streets I j by children and young people going | to and from school. For autoists to j I travel at excessive speed on this | street is unnecessary. The time to. prevent accidents is before they happen. The police can probably avoid an accident by puting a stop to the excessive speed on Wayne street. The people of the city are respon sive to the regulations of the police ] yo the safety of traffic rests direct- ‘ ly on their shoulders. Keep the good record clean.

But with all of this the cost of public educa tion in Milledgeville has been com- I paratively small and the small bond issue that has been authorized should not be held up any longer than can be helped. If this money is available at an early date wc believe Federal funds can be secured to match whatever the city provides and all the need ed improvements can be supplied. We hope the city authorites will call the bond issue immediately. many more years to coire. He is a factor foi the best interest of our community and his citizenship is most desired. During the administration of Cel. Jenkins G. M. C. has taken very definite steps forward. The enroll ment has shown a marked increased, the scholastic rating has been great ly Improved, the success cf the mili tary department has been outstand ing and the athletic achievements of the college have been noted. Col. Jenkins is an a’l-rour.d school man and G. M. C. has shown a success ful growth under his direction and leadership. Col. Jenkins is not a man that will stand still or go baekward. The future of G. M. C. is safe in his hands and we believe that the com ing year will record additional ac complishments in which every citi zen will feel a pride. G. M.

Nor it is surprising that the uni versal sentiment is that the Gover nor’s unprecedented and unconsti tutional attempt to operate the state government without an apporopria- tion act is the result of a $20,000.- 000 brainstorm. The aberation from which the Governor is suffering carries with it the threat of disruption to every function of the state government, to the educational and charitable institutions supported by the state, to the highway and other major un dertakings of the state, and brings the danger of uncmpl wment to thousands of men who would be put to work under contracts now’ ready to let. By his willful determination to stick to his illegal course, the Gov ernor has thrown the entire machin ery o’ , of gear to an extent not equaled since the days of the car petbaggers. The Governor lias called atten tion to the fact that the legal de partment is made the final authority on all matters affecting the various branches of the executive depart ed the government. He makes matters worse by bold ly and specifically taking the posi tion t^at the general assembly is incompetent and that it cannot be trusted with the important task of solving the oxisiting crisis. As the result of the confusion and chaos into .■••hich the Governor has thrown the af’airs of the state gov ernment. federal oficials have re fused to send alocated funds to Georgia when they do not know’ w’ho is the legal treasurer of the state. The Governor says he will pay the reimbursement funds to the counties when due on March 25— that he has the funds in hands to do so. Let us hope that this is t.-ue and that there will be no default on this obligation of the state. If this $2,600,000 is paid the Gov ernor will have about as much more on which to continue his May pole dance, but just what is to become of the develcpment of the state high way system in the meantime, and just how many thousands of men will be thrown out of work through the suspension of the road building program, remains to be seen. The federal government has from fifteen to seventeen million dollars of funds allocated to Georgia hang ing up awaiting to ascertain who ir. the legal treasurer of the state. In this period of uncertainty, the Governor continues to swing his bloody ax.
