AS CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE

take this method of putting befors
the people some of the measures for
which I stand and upoen which I asic
théir support. ;
Public office is a public trust an
not a private snap, and, when any
man offers himself to the people to
represent them in any capacity, he
should plainly and distimetly set
forth the measures for which he
stands and upon which he asks their
support.
Measures are more important than
men: 1 briefy set forth some of
the principals for which I stand.
Taxes--Appropriations.
Taxes are necessary but I shall op
pose any measure that unnecessarily
places a burden upon the people and
shall favor any measure that will
relieve them from the burden of
taxation, consistent with the fair
and honest administration of the
affairs of the state.
I am opposa2d to any appropria
tion of the public money except ac
cording to the strict letter of the
law, 1 believe that Sectionl6, Para
graph. 1, of the Constitution of the
State of Georgia, should be strictly
construed, which is as follows:
“The General Assembly shall not,
by vote, resolution or order, grant
any donation or gratuity in favor of
any person, corporation, or Associi
tion."’
I am in favor of reducing ou*
taxes, We are paying too mu:h
taxes. Strict economy w:1l1 relieve
useless burdens of the tax-payers.
I am unalterably opposed to the
General Assembly spending its time
devising ways and means to obtaia
more money in order to make more
appropriations.
The State Road.
The most important legislation
that will come before the next Gen
eral Assembly is the disposition of
the Western & Atlantic Railroad
property. It is a well known fa.t

MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 14, 1914,
MRS. MARTHA J. REED
DIED SATURDAY NIGHT
Mrs. Martha J. Reed, widow of l)
W. Reed, died Saturday night at her'
home in Marietta and was buried at‘
Powder Springs Sunday. Her pas-‘
tor, Rev. G. S. Tumlin, conducted |
the service. She was 67 years oldl
and had lived in Cobb county since
her childhood. She leaves threel
daughters, Mrs. J. W. Alexander, of
Dallas, Tex., Mrs. R. T. Shumatic, of!
Canton, and Mrs. R. J. Croker, of
Atlanta, and twe sons, J. C., of At—|
lanta, and J. Loyd Reed, of the T. L.
Wallace Clothing Co., of Marietta.
Mrs. Reed had been a member of
the Baptist church since her girl-i
hood.
DEATH OF MR. E. A. CAMP.
Mr. E. A. Camp, 83 years old, died
Tuesday at his jome on the Atlan
ta road and was earried to New
Hope, Paulding County, Wednesday
for burial.
that the railroads now have power-l
ful allies inthe Legislature, and any ;
disinterested person will tell you
that it is well nigh impossible to got
any measure of importance through
the Legislature, or even get a hear
ing thereon, unless first approved by
the railroads.
I believe railroads and ecorpora
twons should be treated fairly, but 1
am not in favor of allowing them:
any unfair advantage over any other
ingerest or enterprise. All shoyld
be treated alike.
I believe that efforts are now be
ing made to make the people believe
that the Western & Atlantic Rail
road will soon be parallelled anl
rendered practically worthless in
order that it may be leased again for’
a nominal sum, such as is now beinz:
received for it. This road is a ma:.;-i
nificent property, is very -valuable, |
it means much to the public schoolx»;l
of the state, and I am in favor Oti
it being leased for something in the
n~ighborhood of what it is worth,
and, if elected, 1 pledge myself to
see that it is not sold but leased fm'!
a fair and reasonable compensation
The road cannct be taxed. 1 fav-'
or a plan by which the counties ;
through which it runs will rvceivez
sufficient compensation to off-get
the amount expended by them in lit-!
igation by and against the road. 'l
Public Schools.
I am in favor of offering our chil
dren the very best school advantages
possible, and the prompt payment of
our teachers, without unnecessary
delay, and without the teachers hav
ing to pay interest or discounnt upon
their salary.
Public Roads.
I am in favor of the Board of
County Commissioners governing
our county atfairs, and I am opposed
to reducing their number. lam in
favor of the present plan of work
ing the convicts on our public roads,
and think each gzetion of the county
should receive its just proportion of
the work done,
Tax Equalization Bill,
There are some features of this
law that are good; there are others
which T think are bad. llf elected,
I would support a measure to have
the law so modified as to accom
plish the purposes for which it was
intended, 8o all property yvoul(l bear
the just burdens but no more,
Public Officers.
Pubic officers should mnot lose
sight of the fact that the offices th@y
hold belong to the people and that
they are accountable to the people.
I am unalterably opposed to any per
son holding office in the United
States or State of Georgia who has
sworn allegiance to any foreign
power, potentate, or ruler,
I was born and raised in " this
county, and lived on a farm until
practically grown. It is a laudable
ambition of any man to want to re
present a great county like ours.
There are many who could represent
you better, but I promise if electeld
to give the bhest efforts of my life
to see that every man and every in
terest gets a square deal,
Respectfully,
adyv. FRED _MORRIS.
