1. Cotton Exchange Regulations.
Helped perfect and had charge on
the final passage in the Senate of
the Smith-Lever Act, to regulate
cotton exchanges, and to prevent
them as far as possible from put
ting down the price of cotton.
2. Cotton Markets Saved. Intro
duced and passed through the Sen
ate the resolution which obtained
from Great Britain in October,
1014, admission of our right to ship
cotton into Germany and Austria. As
a result, nearly three millicn bales
of cotton were shipped from the
United States into Northern and
Middle Europe before March 1
1915, and the price advanced in
Georgia from below 6 cents to 10
cents a pound.
3. British Lawlessness Attaclod
and Cotton Prices Protected. Great
B.rit,am, during March, 1915, repu
diated her admissions, and ordered
cotion shipped to neutral ports of
Northern Europe seized. Senator
Smith attacked this British action,

August 21, 1915, by Groat Bri‘ain,
declaring cotton contraband Brit
ish statesmen well knew their con
duct was iliegal, and, largely to|
check the hostile feeling caused !
the fight Serator Smith was lead.- |
ing, British irterests beourht over
two million bales of cotten in Sep
tember, 1515, Cerman interests
bought one million bales, hoping
ceitton would be shipped to Ger- ]
mary. The shipment of the first |
thre® million bales, and the pur-»’
thase of the three million bales |
just mentioned carried the price of |
<otton in the Fall of 1915 to fi‘-:urvx‘l
higter than these at which it sold |
pefore the war began. But for this |
advance in the price o 1 cotton thore |
would have been los:zes in all lines |
of industry and suffering by all
the people of Ceorgia and tae
South. !
4. Cotton Price Tixing. Helped'!
deicat in the Senate bills in 1917
inteoded to fix a 2 maximum privo!
agpon cotton without making the)
imaximum the minimum price. 'l”nial
proposed legislation was especially
uniaiy bgcagje it would have pre
vented an advance in price, but not
a fall in price. |
3. Cotton and the War Industries
Board. Fought Baruch’s War In
dustries Board in September, 1918,
when they sought to create a sin
gle purchasing agency to buy cot
ton, and to fix a maximum price
for all cotton exported without
even gaaranteeing against a fall
in price. S .
&. Cotton and the War Trades
Board. The War Trades Board,
after the Armistice, was hindering
the export of cotton. Senator
Smith hammered at them and
gradually succeeded in causing a
removal of restrictions. Finally,
about June 1, 1919, the Board re
moved the last restrictions upon
the export of cotton, and cotton
went to 36 cents a pound.
From the beginning of the World
War, for five years, Senator Smith
gave much of his time to koepmg
open markets and obtaining a fair
price for cotton. In and out of the
Senate he worked, frequently using
the press of the East to publish
articles supporting the price of
cotton for which he paid out of his
wn ket.

9. Vocational Rehabilitation of
Wounded Soldiers. Helped prepare
and put through the Senate the
Smith-Sayers Act under which aid
is given to the injured socldier, to
enable him to prepare again for
active work. He has been an in
tense supporter of every measure
to relieve the condition of the in
jured soldier, and led the fight in
the Senate for the recent $20.00 a
month increase in their compensa
tton.
10. Parcels Post. Helped perfect
and put into active operation, the
parcels post.
11. Good Rpads. Supported act
ively national aid to good roads,
and while on the Post Office Com
mittee, with Senators Bankhead and
Swanson, perfected the plan which
was subsequently adopted by the
Senate.
12. Clayton Act. Served on the
sub-coramittee which perfected this
act and personally had charge of
the provisions of the bill recogniz
ing the legality of farmers’ co-op
erative societies and labor organi
zations
13. Federal Reserve Banking
System. Actively supported and
nelped perfect the Federal Reserve
Banking System. At his instance
the number of Federal Reserve
Banks was increased to twelve—
that a proper number might be lo
cated in the South, and he was
largely instrumental in locating one
of them in Georgia.
14. Farm Loan Banks. Helped
perfect and pass the act providing
for farm lean banks by which the
rate of interest charged to owners
of agricultural lands has been
greatly lessened, and by which
purchases of small farms are made
easier.
15. Nitrogen Plant. Helped per
fect and pass the Act under which
the Government is creating plants
for the production of nitrogen from
air, and supperted actively the
provision requiring the use of these
plants in times of peace to furnish
their products to cheapen the cost
of fertilizers for the farmer.
16. income Tax Reduction. Sen
ator Smith made the fight in the
inance Committee just after the
Armistice was signed, to reduce
the normsl income tax one-third,
and every Georgian, when he pays
his income tax, is getting the bene
iit of this work of their senior
Senator.
17. Georgia Military Camps. Not
only did Senator Smith render effi
cient service in securing military
camps for Georgia during the war,
but his efforts were likewise di
rectcd towards securing for Geor
gians the contracts for the con

What Is a Person to Person
- Long Distance Call?
N person to person calls the person originating the call specifies a
particular person to be reached. When a person to person call
1s made, the company not only must do everything that it does
In a station to station call to establish a communication, but must do
it at a time when the particular person called will be available, and
will, as a matter of fact, talk. Obviously, the company hss no control
over the whereabouts of persons called, and there is involved an additional
expense and circuit use, and uncertainty, caused by conditions over which
the company has no control or influence. So that it is both logical and proper
that the charge for a person to person call should be relatively more than
the station to station call. :
Orders for person to person calls are accepted only under the condition
that a limited charge will be made when under certain conditions, it is im
possible to establish communication between specified persons. This charge
is classified as a “report charge.”
By studying their needs, toll users can effect economies and make the
service more valuable and convenient.

LIGHTS AND WATERWORKS
AT COST OF MULE TEAM
“You can put running water in
your home, or put in electric lights,
either one, for the price of a pair of
mules or a low-priced automobile.”
So says J. Z. Green, and his state
ment gives a pretty clear idea of the
situation. Roughly speaking either
waterworks or lighting system wi]l
cost $4OO to $l,OOO. It depends up
on the system selected, the kind of
fixtures used and how much of the
work is done by the farmer himself.
FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920
The wiring for a six-room house
should cost around $75. This ap
proximate cost added to the cost of
the plant selected would be the total
cost for electric lights. Plumbing
for the home, including cost of in
stalling, should cost around $3OO for
kitchen and bathroom. This esti
‘mate includes bath tub, commode,
lavatory, kitchen sink, and hot water
tank. It will also be necessary to
have a septic tank, which the farmer
himself can build at a small cost.
These items would make the total
cost of a waterworks system.
If both waterworks and lighting
plants are ordered at the same time
thru the same dealer, the total cost
will be still less than here indicated.
