evidence, testimony and suggestions and the Hke with a view to report ing suitable measures for correcting the existing insurance laws of Geor gia. The committees, both from the house and senate, worked harder than usual this year and there are hundreds of bills favorably report ed which were never placed upon their passage. Notable among these are the pure election measures by Mr. Wright of Richmond, to prohibit the purchase and sales of ballots; to prohibit cor porate contributions to campaign pur poses; to make candidates file an itemized statement of campaign ex penses. The bills by Mr. Hall, of Bibb: To make all railroads operate • under Georgia charters; to make it a misdemeanor to pay another’s taxes to register that person; to prohibit a judge from directing a jury verdict. The bill by Mr. Adams, of Chatham, to provide for the creation of juve nile courts. The bill by Mr. Black burn, of Fulton, to organize a state patrol; that of Mr. of White, to register all dogs, and many others. Under the head of “ nearly legis lation” comes the bill by Mr. Mar tin, of Elbert, which raises the price of fertilizer tags from 10 to 25 cents. It was hoped by the terms of this bill to raise $160,000 to support the eleventh district and university of agriculture. The bill was passed in the house by a rousing vote, but was never passed in the senate. The clean sheet bill by Mr. McMichael, of Ma rion, also joined the tag bill on the waiting list of the senate, which num ber was afterwards increased by many more of more or less impor tance. . • List of Last Bills. Among the last bills to be passed were the two of widespread interest. The first was that by Senator Dobbs, whereby railroads are compelled to furnish refrigerator cars for the immediate use of shippers after being ordered and providing a heavy penal ty for non-compliance. The other was a “Sunday bill.” It was that of Dr. Hardman in the senate, pro viding for the creation of a state board of examiners for trained nurses. Mr. Candler had this bill passed the last thing, in the house, before the general tax act was adopt ed. Altogether the session was most fruitful, but there were as many peaches left on the legislative tree, and just as large, as those shaken down by the big stick. The house adjourned Sunday morn ing in a good humor. Repeated re cesses were taken between midnight and adjournment. During these lulls there were mock sessions of the leg islature with various humorists in the speaker’s chair; other wits about the floor and a general joliflcation all round. The house threw spit balls until their arms ached; sang until they were hoarse and danced until they were sore. To the tune of “God be with you till we meet again,” the v aolons departed and debate will be cut off in the capifol until June, 1909. —Atlanta Constitution.

The Farmers’ Union Guide has an ambition, the outgrowth of an in spiration, to be what its name im plies —a Guide to the union. On this point it would advise the union to be watchful of the question of immigration. The Board of Trade of Little Rock, Arkansas, has passed a reso lution condemning the Farmers’ Un ion as a menace to the growth of Arkansas because it has placed itself on record against immigration. The Guide would advise the union of Arkansas to be cautious, yes, very cautious, in the way they meet reso lution. We believe, when it comes to a show down, in fighting; but right here, in order to explain our posi tion, we will ask this question: How do we know that these attacks against the union are not premeditated for the purpose of drawing the organi zation out, confusing and dividing its ranks and finally destroying its true aims? , The Guide does not make an ac cusation, but simply wants it readers to think. The Farmers’ Union is on record as opposed to the low class of immi grants coming into our country and against the objective purpose of scouring the slums of Europe for th is class to bring in competition with respectable home labor. From this position it should never swerve, but it should be guarded and not allow the enemy’s fire to lure it into the trap they have set for its complete ruin. There is no danger if we will be on guard. Let us act with precaution. Be sure we are right and then deliber ately carry out our plans regardless of the wailings and howls of the Boards of Trade and of the commer cial journals.—Union Guide.
