Wi ato, SOT gl | FOR AN ANNUAL WAGE | The guaranteed aynual wage is being studied by sev- eral governmental depart- ments, under directions from Truman, in the hope of making available to! industry information upon the subject. An earlier study question, made by of War Mobilization) and Reconversion, has been} used as a source of study by goyernment, labor, manage; ment and the public and the President considers it to be! the responsibility of the government to maintain a a eontinuing study of the question in order to make} available data and informa-| tion to anyone interested. | The general recommenda- tiofis, so far available, do notveontemplate any legisla- tive action with regard to guaranteed wage plans, which, it is. felt, should de- velop from free collective bargaining. Naturally, prog-! re: affected by existing laws, such as unemploy. ment compensation, mini-| mum wage rates and taxes} President of the the Of-| fice and, therefore, the govern-; mental study is designed to eGordinating these inter-re- lated statutes to the end of! stable employment condi- tions : While there are many workers who are not involvy- ed, because of the relative fability of their employ- ment, there are other wor er n large numbers, sub- ected to the vicissitudes of the ,economie condition of the country. Their employ- ment not as stable and, therefore, their income neertain, depending upon the proportion of periods of employment and unemploy- ment. is If a guaranteed annual wage can be developed for these workers, there will, be egnsiderable benefit .to the national economy. The workers will have a fixed minimum income, depend- able purchasing power and 4 much greater economic security. | ; i culating REDEEMED To what extent usurpa- | tion of power is resented. by Americans may be judged by thé outbursts of gratifi- cation by readers of The Citizen on reading the Asso- | ciated Press story about the action of the Georgia Su- ; preme Court in ousting, Her- man Talmadge as governor. _Key Westers, in common with Amercians throughout the United States, were em- | phatie in their denunciation }of what the. Talmadge ring | was trying to do in Georgia. When “one ‘superior court se judge decided against, Tal- madge, the news was receiv- led with pleasure, but when ‘two other superior court juiges decided in Tal- madge’s favor, some of us | were led to think that Geor- jgia was slipping politically. What happened in Key | West, in entertaining that opinion, also -gecurred in: all parts of the Cited States. | Indeed, in some cities, par- | ticularly New York, leading | citizens essayed to tell the peeple of Georgia what do ;do to rid their capitol of i Talmadge. | And then a paper in At- jlanta published an editorial under the heading, “Leave | It to Georgia.” | Tt was left to Georgia, and the Supreme Court of that state handed down its de- \cision, 5 to 2, that Lieuten- jant Governor M. E. Thomp- son was the rightful gover-} nor. One of the dissenting judges said he did not think \it was within the province iof the court to consider the |case, and another said some- thing about the legislature my | having the power to nage a |to have to use again. You may governor. But the majority opinion | pointed out that the proce-) dure was simple. The Geor- gia constitution provides | that, in case of the death or|what is the best for the most. | the resignation of a gover-; nor, he is succeeded by the lieutenant governor. The opinion further said that Thompson had been sworn in as lieutenant governor be- |fore Arnall resigned as gov- ernor, and, therefore, Thompson was the logical successoF to the office. Georgia has redeemed it- self in the eyes of the na- tion. We recently observed Boy Scout Week; let's not -over- look Girl Scout Week.

ABACUS BEATS ADDING MACHINE | Modern-minded Ameri- cans will be somewhat sur-} prised to learn that in ‘two! recent contests between an! American calculating ma-| chine and the Oriental aba-| cus, the Oriental operator managed to get the decision in both instances. The “first was held in Tokyo. The centuries-old type of counting board was operated by a Japanese | clerk and it brought about the defeat.of an American private, using a modern cal- machine, in five} mathematical problems Therefore, in New York, a Chinese student, studyi in an ‘American univers pitted his skill on the aba-| cus against a young woman, using an office machine, wheeled in on a typewriter table. The student drew his} wooden counter from a brief ease. The competition limited to addition, subtrae- tion and multiplication of a series of figures, The Chi- nese, moving the wooden} bez arrived at the answer in forty seconds and the yeung lady took forty-ei¢ht| seconds. one + While the abacus. will paar to the produce the results in some} on mathematic Chinese |readily admitted modern machine examples, representative possesses some advantages.
