PAGE SIX TALMADGE TELLS F. D. TO. REFUND FARMERS’ MONEY ATLANTA, April 23 —Governor Talmadge today asked President Roosevelt to take steps to pay farm ers back money they were forced to pay under the old Agricultural Ad justment Act. In his weekly newspaper, “The Statesman,” Georgia's anti-new deal governor called on the president to in troduce a bill in congress whereby far mers would be paid the money they turned in as “penalty taxes.” Parts of the article follows: “Hundreds of thousands of farmers over the United States paid an excess ive tax on small allotments given them by the Department of Agricul ture for growing cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco, rice, neanuts and hogs. Where they grew over the allottment they were charged another tax and forced to pay it. ‘ When the Agricultural Adjustment Administration was declared uncon stitutional by the Supreme Court the president said that these penalty tax es would oe paid back to the farmers. Since that announcement we have heard nothing of any bill providing for payment to these farmers of these pentlty taxes. "Why not introduce a bill to col lect money back and pay farmers who were forced to pay penalty taxes on the same unconstitutional law? These farmers are entitled to this tax pen-i alty.” savannaOabes BEGIN T 0 ENTER CONTEST SUNDAY Five sets of proud Savannah par ents; five lucky Savannah babies, are going to be awarded valuable prizes when the pudges pronounce the winners in the Savannah Daily Times Baby Contest next month.

NEWS of the rescue was flashed quickly around the world. This strange story, of absorbing interest, had captured the imagination of peo ple everywhere. In Ottawa—the Ca nadian capital—the bells of the Caril lon on Parliament Hill began to ring and soon the bells were ringing for miles around. Doctors fay both Robertson and Scaddlng are in better physical and mental condition than they expected. However, the terrific ordeal the pair underwent has left its mark. The two men, according to the medical experts at the mine, cannot be moved to Halifax untl the danger of pneu monia is lessened by treatment at the emergency hospital. Dr. Robertson appears to have come through in better shape than Scaddlng, although Scaddlng is the younger of the two. The Toronto physician, when he was carried from the old Moose River mine early to day, was able to talk at considerable length. Scadding was unable to speak above a husky whisper. The eyes of both men are ban daged most of the time. Doctors re move the bandages at intervals to permit the cave-ln victims to become accustomed to the light. Hypodermic injections are easing the pain of bad ly swolen feet, suffered by both men during their long Imprisonment. What impressed medical authori ties more was the remarkable mental balance retined by Robertson and Scadding during the hours of horror spent below ground. They crouched in a dismal, dripping cavern with the body of their companion, Herman Mcgill, only a few feet from them. But the two men refused to surren der to hysteria whch doctors agree would have brought certain insanity. Beth men’s wives visited the emer gency hospital today and spent a few minutes with their husbands. Mrs. Magill also is at the mine, but her visit is a sad one. She and her rela tives have claimed the body of Dr. Robertson’s partner in the il-fated gold mine venture and probably will arrange for its transportation to To ronto seme time today. Tire Canadian minister of mines, Michael Dwyer, Is at work on a de tailed report of the mine rescue to be sent Premier McKenzie King at Ot tawa. Dwyer termed the rescue one of the most remarkable incidents in Canadian mine history. The minis ter of mines, according to a popular rumor, will recommend national honors for the men who helped him tn the long fight to reach tiw en tombed, men.

Its une indicates exactly the unique type of bus iness with which it will serve the public. If “Mr. Browi?’ has a car and wants a piano instead, he takes it to the/‘Swap-It Shop”, and there the trade is made. If "Miss Jon/s” wants a new bonnet, and she has a piece of furniture that jshe does not want, the shop fixes up a trade for her, by getting a druggist for example, who needs the furniture to give the hat store some free drugs in exchange for a new hat for Miss Jones. It is all as simple as that. The store is under the man agement of A. Marvin Mullis, who, with his wife, the former Miss Ixiuise Harvey of Savan nah, has moved to Savannah make his home.

Police said the boy broke into soma of the homes and others he entered by use of skeleton keys which they say were found in his possession ifrhen taken into custody.

IRATE MERCHANTS TAKE UP LIGHTING FIGHT WITH MAYOR Representatives of forty-odd irate east Broughton street merchants who claim that City Council’s plan for lighting the retail shopping district will build a “Chinese Wall” of exclu sion around them and leave them in the outer darkness, took their com plaint to Mayor Gamble today. According to the present plan for relighting Broughton street, lighting fixtures will extend east only to Lin coin street. The merchants with places of business east of Lincoln street are up in arms, claiming they helped pay for the old fixtures, which were removed at Mayor Gam ble’s behest .and are now b-ing de prived of the benefits of the new fix tures. Mayor Gamble some time ago had the old "White Way” lighting equip ment removed, declaring it was in bad repair and outmoded. Then the city decided to put in new and mod em equipment, but only as far as as Lincoln. Business houses east of Lincoln on Broughton street include auto and auto parts sales rooms, drug stores, clothing stores, delicatessens and pawn shops. Claiming that the east ern section of the street is a thriving business center, entitled to all the privileges of other parts of the street, the merchants are now demanding that council amend its lighting plans to shed light upon their section also. GUARD WHO ASSAILED PHYSICIAN BE TRIED SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 23 (TP) — A National Guardsman who fractured a physician’s skull in a flood duty scuffle is held by civil authori ties today.

Cassanelli was on flood sentry duty in front of a hospital when Dr. Ben jamin Alport tried to enter the place. The doctor failed to show the required pass. There was an argument and a scuffle. The doctor, struck over the head with the butt of a rifle, dripped unconscious to the pavement. Later, Dr. Alport insisted he wanted no char ges made against private Cassanelli. MASS MEETING HERE TONIGHT MILL TAX PLAN REDWINE AND STEWART TO BE SPEAKERS; REC ORD CROWD FORSEEN Speakers will outline the benefits of the 15 mills tax limiation a mendment at a mass meeting of Chatham county residents at 8:30 o’clock tonight at the Municipal Auditorium called to enlighten the taxpayers on the measure and se cure their support. Senator Charles D. Redwine, president of the Georgia senate, and John P. Stewart, Atlanta at torney will be the speakers of the occasion and George W. Hunt, chairman of the Chatham division of the Georgia Taxpayers Associa tion will preside. Mr Hunt said a crowd was ex pected which would tax the seat ing capacity of the auditorium. A special invitation was extended to the officials and teachers of the county’s school system. Ormond B. Strong, public school superinten dent, through whom the invitation was transmitted, informed Mr. Hunt he had urged a 100 per cent attandance and anticipated such a turn-out. Negro real estate owners have also been urged to be on hand at the assembly tonight. A special section has been reserved for them. Negro taxpayers will be permitted to vote in the general election early in November at which time the fate of the proposed tax amend ment to the state’s constitution will be decided. Senator Redwine, who will deliv er the principal address tonight, is an able and interesting speaker and his presence will be respon sible for the attendance of many Mr. Hunt said Mr. Stewart was un usually well informed on the Geor gia tax program as well as the issue now before the taxpayers. All taxpayers i*ho intend to vote on the 15 mill tax limitation amendment in November have been urged to register by May 2 that they may become qualified voters. Mr Hunt pointed out that women who so far have never vot ed but who intend to cast their ballots in November may register without paying poll tax. These cit izens are privileged to vote for the first time without payment of poll tax. It is understood that sentiment in favor of the tax amendment is by far the strongest in,the rural districts. Those behind the move ment expect the favorable rural vote to turn the tide to victory. In the cities there are many voters that either hold intangible prop erty and fear the passage of the tax amendment would ultimately increase taxes on such holdings, or whose income is derived from state tax receipts and look with dis favor on any move which would diminish the source of such re ceipts. But in the rural neighbor hoods the average resident usually has no stocks, bonds or other se curities nor does he usually hold a public office. MORTUARY A. L. MILLER Abraham Lincoln Miller of An chor. Kentucky, who was visiting his sister, Mrs. D. J. Smith of Sa vannah, died in a local hospital yesterday.
