Talking about taxes, 7*l counties In
Georgia pay a higher tax rate* than
Glynn county, and DO per cent of these
counties, who pay a higher tax rate
than Glynn county, are among the
most progressive counties in Georgia.

POLLY. WANTS A CRACKER!
UNDER WHICH FLAG?
The people of Brunswick and Glynn
county will be called upon Wednes
day to write into Georgia history the
character of their citizenship! They
are to fix It forever and for a day, as
a sterling, progressive one, always
alert and ready and willing to btiild
up their community with every new
and broad plan of developcment or
they are to plead gu&ty to the oft re
flated charge of incMfence, indiffer
ence, lack of enterprise and a will
ingness to let grass grow in the pub
lic streets, while other cities people
them with new and modern improve-
ments!
That’s the issue withbdt any frit Is I
The plan to build a great highway
to St. Simon, our sylvan isle and to
do so, by a bond issue, the well adopt
ed plan in all communities of produc
ing funds for public improvements is
so full of promise, is so comprehen
sive, so plain, so progressive, and so
fruitful of results, thta wc do not deem
it necessary to discuss the general de
sire for it.
Certainly no man in is
satisfied with present conditions; he
cannot be content with the commer
cial status of the whole nation reflect
ed in Brunswick, as it is reflected in
every other city in the country. He
must be awace of the fact that a trou
bled world is seeking relief from a
period of stress without parallel in
modern history. He must know that
everywhere great plans are being
mapped out; great Improvements are
being launched, every effort is being
made to reclaim the business activity
and the healthful commercial situa
tion that was ours, ere the world war
crushed it with Its mighty force of
terror!
Decreased commerce in the port;
decreased receipts in practically ev
ery business in the city and a gener
al business condition unsatisfactory
,and ruirtous, If not remedied, is force
ful evidence of the truth of our state
ments.
Now then, the best thought in this
community; the povernlnq bodies In
both city and county and an over
whelming majority of the people have
devised a plan to aid In bringing re
lief to Brunswick and Glynn county;
it Is not anew plan; it has worked
wonders in other sections, it is old
as the Roman empire and the Emper
or Napoleon!
It is permanent highways!
These progressive people have de
termined to build a bridge to St. Si
mon, the most attractive summer re
surt in Georgia and one that could be
made a great winter resort. They
have concluded to issue bonds for this
project in both city and county arid
they are asking you to approve by
your votes this plan.
That’s all there Is to It!
It is their opinion that in a few
years this improvement will increase
taxable values in city and county and
that the toll feature will make the
bridge a money-maker. That It will
bring new population, new business
and make a real city out of Bruns
wick, and a big, populous, rich coun
ty out of Glynn!
Will you vote for this plan so rich
ly laden with results or will you fol
low the advice of a handful of croak
ers and chronic knockers who have al
ways essayed that role and who haye
grown proficient In the art of knock
ing?
The issue Is plain; it la unescapa
ble; it it drawn tightly and it is up to
you.
Under which flag will you enlist?
FORD'S RAILROAD EARNINGS
DROP?
Citing statistics filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission by Hen
ry Ford's railroad, the Detroit, Toledo
& Ironton. the Hallway Age shows in
an article In its current issue that the
monthly net return earned by the
railroad deellned over 70 per cent be
tween June and August, the last
month for which complete figures are
available.
The reduction of twenty per cent In
local rates and the advance in wages
granted bv Mr. Ford were put Into
effect on July 1. It was widely re
ported that In spite of the reduction
in rates and advance .In wages Mr.
Ford had converted the D„ T. ft I.
a bankrupt Into a prosperous
railroad. The statistics in
the Hallway Age of the railroad were
$713,527 and thgL
July to $744. attain August to
$7t3.540. They also Rjow- that in
June, before thejrates and wages
*er% changed, the expenses incurred
by the railway for each dollar earned
w *re 5J.7 cents, while in July they had
b'creas,*,! to 59.7 and In August to
T 1 * cents. The result of this large
lucre*** in operating expeosoa was

installed his own management on 'he:
road In March, in which month the
net operating income was $77,985. Tn
April the effects of the Ford traffic or
the Ford genius were made apparent
in a net operating income of $276,452,
which resulted from an increase in
earnings of $258,439, while the expen-
ses increased only $42,846. The re
port for April became available about
July 1, or about the {.ime Mr. Ford
announced his increase in wages and
proposed reductions in rates, and led
to the wide publicity given to state
ments that Ford' had shown an in
crease in net while increasing wages
and reducing rates. For May there
was a further increase in earnings but.
the expenses also went up and the net
was lower than in April and in each
month since the net has been lower
than,it was the month before until In
August it was only $70,643, or less,
than it was in March, although the
earnings were greater than in any
and $324,00, greater
than in Mardh.
“Comparing Mr. Ford's railroad
lyilh all the Class 1 railways of the
United States is like comparing a
mouse with, a hippotamus. Since,'
however, the propaganda # regarding
the ‘miracle’ worked on the. D., T. &
I. has invited the comparison, the fol
lowing facts are presented for what
they are worth: Between June arid
August wfeen Mr. Ford made his fa-
changqp in rates and wages the
tota] earnings of the D., T. & I. in
creased 7 per cent, while those of all
the Class 1 railways increased 9.3
per cent. Meantime the operating ex
penses of the D., T. & I. increased 4S
per cent, while those of the Class X
railways increased less than 1, per
cent. In consequence the net operat
ing income of the D., T. & I. declined
over 70 per cent, while that of the
Class 1 railways increased from $51,-
640,000 to $90,241,000 or almost 75
per cent. The increase in net operat
ing income of the Class 1 railroads
was mainly due to the reduction of
wage? on July 1.”
BACK BRUNSWICK ‘Y”
The present appeal of the Y. W. C.
A. for support is one eminently legit
imate and warranted. By the very
nature of its service it niust depend
upon the public for a certain amount
of support. Having demonstrated its
•a parity to represent the public in es
sential community service it would
be a misfortune thaf would reflect dia
credit upon Brunswick people to al
low this organization to be crippled
and Its work curtailed for lack of nec
essary funds. The present demands
of the Association are not excessive;
it does not even ask for immediate
payment of subscriptions but allows
an option in future payments.
An investment in future citizeua
and home-makers can scarcely fee un
derestimated In worth, and It is the
development of such va’ues with
which the Y. W. C. /A. is chiefly con
cerned. Here is an organization that
supplements indispensable institu
tions 1n a way that justifies 4ts exis
tence among us. and at the same time
performs definite service for which no
other provision is made. No better
Thanksgiving observance can be com
mended to the people of Brunswick
than that of making an offering to
the Y. W. C. A. campaign commensur
ate with the cause.
The News takes this occasion to
commend the frank' and splendid
statement published elsewhere this
morning from President Frank D.
Aiken, Tf the Brunswick Bank kfc Trust
company, with reference to the St.
Simon highway bond issue. It is just
such a statement as should come from
a broad-minded public institution, offi
cered by broad-minded, patriotic, pro
gressiva business men. That’s all!
Our beat wishes to him |
if the Young Men's Club, the Board
of Trade, the Y. W. 0. A., Woman's
Club, Btisinees and Professional Wo
man's League, the Parent-Teacher As
sociation, the Rotary Club, the city
commissioners, the county commis
si ners. and the Colored Men’s Busl
ness I.enguc say that the bond Issue Is
a good thing for Brunswick, and will
back it to the limit, surely all of us
can safely accept their judgment
against a very few chronic knocker*
who say otherwise.
