COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
('By Spectator) J
The governor and legislature are
entirely right In submitting to the vo
tern the question of legal liquor In
this state. To some the sale of alcoholic
beverages Is merely a matter of
regulation and revenue, but to others
it Is a policy which profanes the religion
professed by our people.
To some the whole matter Is one of
policy; to legalise and collect tribute
frotp ft taste and habit which are old
and deep seated; to others there Is a
principle Involved which should not
be compromised for either policy or !
expediency.
The argument Is that since men '
drink the statu should collect a tux
on what no one regards as a neces- <
ally. Some regard the alcoholic taste '
and habit as a luxuury; therefore
something to be taxed heavily; olhers I
regard It as a Btep toward trouble
and tax It as a police measure; yet J.
others regard tho hublt as had In It- !
self; therefore not one which the !
sta*e should recognize or dignify as a
source of public revenue.
We have, then, policy arrayed
against principle. The men who
stand for principle have logic on their j
side, for no one would contend that
all the practices of humanity should
be given the.sanction of law, rogard-;
loss of the revenue. Would you recognize
murder and theft and license
suoh practices, collecting a revnuo
from them? Y?t murder and theft
are fairly common.
Must we confess questions of right j
with calculations of revenue? Is a
thing right or is it wrong? If wrong,
does It become less wrong, less pernicious,
because it yields a revenue?
Aro wo by any chance bribing our- .
selves because as beneficiaries of
public service we are enjoying the
fruits of the vices? ,
If humanity needs any one bhlng
It Is to break away from the narrow '
selfishness which fattens on greed
and misfortune. The wisdom of men ,
has boon terribly dofiated; we stand I
before the Great Judge a lot of bun-,
glers because we choose the spoclous /
arguments of the streets to the eter- j
nal wisdom which sees right and
wrong as clearly defined, never glossed
over by money, position, influence f
or public revenue.
Since we have had liquor revenues (
what have we gained as a people?
Mr. Roosevelt gave us legal liquor i
and the five or ten million dollars I
which our state has received. But |
our expenditures have increased more
than the amount received from liquor,
and the National Government has had
to spend in this State $134,000,000 ?]
a hundred and thirty-four million dol- :
lars, to keep our heads above water. |
I^et us boll this down; In the little;
town where I live we used to have '
one State liquor shop. In all the
county there was' only one. During
all those years, the little town had
two policemen, though the town then I
had four banks, several stables and a J
thriving business. Now the little !
town has one bank (a year old) no I
stables, much less business, three '
liquor stores (with others In the
county) and four, policemen! In other
words, with the New Deal came
liquor; and with liquor came more
policemen than we had ever had before
in the history of the town! Now
will some one tell me what benefit
the liquor has been, or Is. to tho
town, even on the ground of revenue? |
I have come to understand with deep- '
enlng conviction the remark "Yo can-j
not serve God and mammon."
"And ho shall judge among many ,
people, and rebuke strong nations
afar off; and they shall beat their
swords Into plowshares. and their j
spears Into prunlng-hooks: nation
shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any
more.
But they shall sit every man under
his vine and under his fig tree; and
none shall make them afraid: for the
mouth of the Ixml of hosts hath spoken
It."
So said the Prophet Mtonh. It remains
the hope of all who see the
futility of war, save as a defense
against tho embattled forces of greed
and ambition which would oppress
and destroy for their own enrichment.
- U ?
The Judiciary -Committee of the
House reported out the Mil to restrict
punitive damages. The bill Is now on
the calendar of tho House. The prediction
has been freely made that no
such -bill can pass. JPhat remains to
be seen. I believe it ra? be passed;
it is only necessary to bring home to
a hundred and twenty-flve thousand
car-owners that they are paying nine
dollars a year more for liability insurance
than is being paid by car-owners
of Georgia. Every policy for liability
insurance is much higher here than
in other states. The Casualty Companies
are not concerned apparently.
Why should they be? They have fixed
their rates so as to protect themselves.
So. even if the sound bush
ness interest of the atate'ls not sufficient
reason for restricting a practice
which is inherently unsound and
harmful to the state, then the self interest
of a hundred and twenty-five
thousand car-owners may pro^ve the
political dynamite necessary to dislodge
tho opposition.
In whose Interest is the punitive
damage practice as we have it? In
the interest of about a hundred lawyers
who are specially successful in
getting big verdicts for damages bei
yond the actual damage sustained.
The principle of the Workman's
j Compensation Act is as applicable to
I all of us as it is to workers in indus1
try. Workers accept the principle of
j compensation, based on injuries, instead
Of unreasonable verdicts to
split with Counsel. Exactly the same
business reason applies to the rest of
us as applies to labor. Perhaps the
question may be put like this. "Shall
ten per cent of the lawyers Jeopardize
the state and imperil its industrial
life; or shall the hundred and
twenty-five thousand car-owners muke
their influence felt?" IJoiled down, it
is a question whether about one hundred
damage suit specialists, can .continue
to make 125,000 men pay ?1,500.000
a year in excess Insurance.
Whenever this matter comes up take
note of how the members vote. The
automobile men certainly should be
vigilant.

Way "Build-up" Helps
Will Interest Women
The cause of a woman's periodic
suffering from headache, irritability,
cramp-like pain, may b? functional
dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition,
a condition that is often
helped by CARDUI. !
Principal way CARDUI helps is
by stimulating appetite and the flow
of gastric juices. Thus it may aid
digestion; help build up a woman's
strength, energy and nerve-force;
so increase physical resistance to
periodic discomfort.
It also helps reduce periodic distress
for many who take it a few
days before and during "the time.*
Tour confidence In CARDUI is in- _
vited by its 60 years of popularity,.
