Advertlnin# rates are liberal and will be made known on application, Entered at the Posto/llce in Pearuon. Georgia, A h mail matter of the second class. Guess (Jov. Hardwick has learn ed that h ■ can't dictate to the average Georgia legislator. The lesson of t he j ate legislature is that the members have a mind of thcii own and do their own (drinking. The General Assembly of Geor gia adjourned at. a doubtful hour Wednesday night of last week. Gov. Hardwick expresses himself well pleased at the work of the ses sion; so are t he balance of us —just couldn’t help it! Under a recent act of the legis Jature all dogs, of every tribe, large or small, good or bad, will look alike to the tax collector when he comes round to collect taxes. You must pay the dog tax or bid good bye to your pup. The recent legislature added the reading of the Bible to the opening exercises in the public schools of the State. It is likely the County Boards of Education will designate the Old Testament as the part to be used to prevent offense. The Walton Tribune, Monroe, calls Commissioner J. J. Brown an "18 Karat 4-flushing bull artist.” Don't know what that is, but it must be something - awful, as it concludes with the wish that cousin L. C. will get cousin J. J’s scalp. Potato curing houses are being built all over South Georgia except in Atkinson county. Our people should get busy to keep up with the procession. There is no loose money around but a potato curing house,they say will pay for itself. The Tribune is not inviting any questions. The governor of Michigan, follow ing the example of the governor of Indiana, has refused to grant ex tradition from that. State to Geor gia of a Negro criminal who has taken refuge there. If he likes that class of citizens in his state suppose a continuous stream of them be sent there in exile. Gov. Hardwick’s economy policy has resulted in the largest appro priation measure ever enacted by the Georgia legislature, and a tax act that draws money from almost everything in sight- —froth a lap dog to grand opera. A friend of the governor whispered in the editor's ear, "lie sho is some econ omizer 1 ?" Did you over go fire hunting for deer and kill somebody’s calf? If you have, you can understand the feeling of those Thomasville people when they discovered that their Wiilapus Wallapus animal was nothing more than a big male calf. If you’ve not had that ex perienee the Tribune will explain that you xvill feel like you was due somebody an apology. The conference of nations, to consider the question of disarm ament, xvill be held in Washington, November, 11. Armistice Day. Pres ident Harding is carefully select ing the American delegation there at. By virtue of his office Score tary Hughes will be the Chairman. It is also settled that Senator Bodge, chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs committee, xvill be a member of the delegatioh; this is senatorial courtesy. Congress lias interpreted the prohibition amendment to the National constitution, and says (h;tl it, does not license the search of one's home for violations of law without a search warrant. The Tribune lias heretofore expressed the view that officers had no right to search one’s residence, his ear or buggy, trunk, satchel or suit case without first obtaining the proper search warrant and, if he did it. he became a' transgressor of the law and entitled to punish ment as other law breakers. , AHA, I SEE. Surgeon General Cummins, with the reports ail in from all sections of the South, insists that famine and disease (pellagra) exists to an alarming extent. He explains that he uses the word "famine” in a scientific and restrictive sense. In other words he Aid mils there is plenty of food stuffs in the Houth, hut it lacked some essential element to prevent pellagra. He further says, “looked at from the standpoint of a physiologically complete diet the supply is acute in a number of localities." He points out no definite locality nor definite character of food re quired to meet the exigency of the ease. The Tribune thinks the astute Surgeon-General should now be permitted to run along. He has demonstrated that, he is a wise (?) old guy. Rounding Up the Laws. Gov. Hardwick had five busy days following the adjournment of the legislature reading, signing and vetoing bills passed by that body, during the session that had not re ceived previous attention. Ho has affixed his signature, necessary to complete and to be come valid laws of the State, to the following general bills: To create a state board of forest ry. To regulate the practice of pro fe»« J onal nursing to create a board of nurse examiners and to require registration of nurses. To regulate the analysis, inspec tion and sale of commercial fertiliz ers. To provide tho elective franchise for women. To provide for the payment of deficits in the salaries of judges of the court of appeals and of the superior coo its. To increase the fees of coroners, constables and coroner’s jurors in counties of 200,000 or more popu lation. This is for the sole benefit of Fulton County. To provide the elective franchise for women. This bill provides for women voting, holding office and sitting on the jury, but specially exempts them from road and mi I i tary duty. Before women will be permitted to vote, however, they must eough up $1 poll tax just as mere men have to do. To amend the military Jaws of the State so as to make them con form to the organization and dis eipline requirements of the United States. To make it unlawful to make or aid in making of false statements or representations in attempting to procure the payment of false or fraudulent claims against insurance companies. The following local measures were also signed Monday: Creating the Fifty second sena torial district to be composed id' the counties of Berrien, Cook and Lanier. To establish a city court at Fitzgerald. To repeal an Act authorizing a special tax in Bacon county. To amend the charter of Moult rie. Gov. Hardwick has signed the measure requiring the reading a chapter in tho Bible every morn ing in the public schools of the state. Commissioner J. J. Brown, of the State agricultural department, says he “Is too white a man to kick a fellow when he is down.” Hence, he has no reply for any of Senator L. C. Brown's cards in the news papers. As the Tribune suspected Ech ols county citizens are not contem plating dismantling their county. This fact is given out in unmistake able language by a doughty Echols county citizen through theValdos ta Times He says the county is in tine financial condition —does not owe a dollar and has some money in her treasury. The Tri bune editor is too well acquainted with Echols county to give cred ence to the story that her people was seeking to abandon her. PEARSON TRiBLNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA. AUGUST 19, 1921 Enough Bonds. Col. Allen: —I read .with much interest your article a week or two ago relative to the proposed Bond issue of thirty thousand dollars for completing the court house. I agree with you that Bonds are a mighty good thing when needed, or at least when a necessity arises for them, but as the wise man said, “There is a time and season for all things.” 1 think this is an inop portune time and wrong season for bonds for our county, especially thirty thousand dollars to com plete the court house, from the plain fact it will not require this amount of money to complete the court house. A responsible con tractor tells me that he will finish the court house for five thousand dollars. Did you know that it takes one billion dollars per year, now, to pay the interest on our National bonded indebtedness? Did you know that it is estimated by reliable authorities, that our National Bonded Indebtedness is approximately fifty-five million dollars per each Congressional dis I riel? This is besides the millions of dollars of state, county and municipal bonds. The interest on all has to be paid by the people each year. 1 am by the bonds, like you are by the ‘drives,’ we should have a little rest from them. We should be allowed a resting spell to enable us to figure up and see how long it will take us to pay the interest upon same. •So much for the national end of it. Now, lets see about the local bonds: .Just a year or so ago the county authorities said they need ed seventy live thousand dollars to build a courthouse and jail, and the people of our county very will ingly voted bonds for this purpose, and as 1 understood it and I think the majority of the people under stood it, that this amount and no more was to be used. The court house isnow practicality completed, we have held one term of court in it and can hold many more, as it now stands. The jaii, is prac tically completed, it is sufficient to hold oui’ prisoners, our records are safe behind fire proof vaults, so why should we worry, even if it is not finished for the present. 1 see nothing urgent. There are mim bers ol good farmers and business .men in our county living in unfin ished homes, and are making out, because they have not the money to complete same, I bet you they will live on a good while before they | lace a mortgage or second mortgage on their home to com plete same, especially during this strenuous financial period. Home seem to think and convey the impression, that It. makes no difference, vote bonds and at the end of Thirty years they will be paid by some one else, in some way. Well, now if any one is be ing fed by this soft corn they will be choked by. the eob, because t he interest and a part of the principal will have to be paid each year, by us, by every tax payer in the county. The interest and a part of the principle of the seventy-live t housand dollar bond issue already upon us will amount to about six thousand dollars t his year and will be -paid by us this year. Just and t hirty thousand dollars to this now and one-interest and part principal for next year will be nearly ten thousand dollars and it will be paid by us and not some body else, thirty years from now. And if we vote another bond issue or so the first thing we know it will take all our tax money to pay interest and sinking fund, and we will have nothing left to school our children, feed our paupers and run our county. Ho you see the interest on all of this enormous National, State, County and Municipal bonded in debtedness will have to be paid by us, the people. There is no way to shift the burdens or responsibil ity. The situation is serious and very burdensome, now, so lets by all means not increase our burden. Home wise financier said. The best way to pay a debt is not to make it’. Ho lets pay this proposed thirty thousand dollar bond issue, interest and all, by not making it, and we will get along just as well, live just as long and die happier. Very respectfully, Chas. E.
