A few simple yardsticks can be applied in judging those who are running for every office:

1. Is the Candidate capable of holding the job he wants?

2. Is the Candidate honest and forthright and courageous enough to exert constructive leadership? -

3. Would the Candidate make decisions based on sound research and rational thinking, or would he operate on low-levels, mentally and emotionally?

4. Is the Candidate a clown or a bigot or a greedy opportunist, or does he possess qualities of reliable statesmanship and management? 5. Finally, would you be contented to have this Candidate speak for you anywhere of nnvf-imo9 -5-

TO MAYOR JACKSON' MATL FROM ANNE BOX,.EDEfilNGTON, Transportation.., . Chairman The Atlanta-Fulton County League supports transportation policies that encourage more reliance on public transportation, increased carrying capacity of present street systems, and construction of bikeways, sidewalks and pedestrian malls. We believe that before any more urban interstate highways are built that cities have the opportunity to plan and adequately finance transportation systems of their choice.

We strongly favor continuous and widespread community participation in all phases of the transportation program-planning, development, and operations. Various opportunities for citizen input should be developed so that citizens are not limited to reacting to fixed plans.

We feel that transportation planning and construction must weigh all ocial and environ­ mental costs. Consideration of such factors as disruption of neighborhoods, demolition of housing, and adverse effects to the physical environment should be given at least equal weight with technical, economic, and political aspects in determining recommen­ dations on specific projects. We would raise the question whether the numerical ratings scale used for projects ratings by the city staff adequately weighs such social and environmental factors.

Finally, we support your efforts with regard to restructuring the highway trust fund. We agree that a city should be able to use those funds to finance a transportation system of its own choosing.

The following "PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE" is reprinted from the Baltimore City LWV VOTER - Summer '74

"The summer and fall before a state election is always a busy one for the League of Women Voters. It is also a time that many of you are involved in political campaigns. There is a myth that League members can't participate in politics. Not so! 1 The League encourages you to become involved. We are finding more of our members actually running for office. Hopefully, those of you who don't find this is what you want to do will assist other candidates in campaigning — either actively or by contri­ buting to one's financial support. The League has worked on campaign finance reform and limiting contributions in order that no one has undue control over a candidate. Do your part to ensure we have good candidates by giving, of your time and your money. Your league board members refrain from active political involvement to sustain the League's non-partisan image and policy. But we stand firmly behind oui' members' involvement. Don't be caught letting someone else do this work. Good government needs you in whatever way you can find to help." -6-

A Letter from State Rep. Gerald Horton (Dist. 43, Post 2) announcing his appointment as a member of a select subcommittee on consumer affairs for the House. In that position, he will see that the subcommittee holds hearings in Metro Atlanta on consumer problems and possible legislative remedies. The major problem facing all of us is rising inflation. There is little that the Georgia Legisla­ ture can probably do about that problem. However, there may be ways we can assure that we receive honest value for our dwindling dollar. Your help in identifying pro­ blems and your participation in the hearings would be appreciated. Time and place of the hearings will be announced later.

As vice-chairman of the Committee on State Planning and Community Affairs, he will continue work in the fields of land-use zoning, housing and related matters. Four sub­ committees have been established for interim work. As chairman for the sub­ committee on state planning, he will seek to discover through public hearings and re­ search to what extent and level of detail state government is planning its future ser­ vices and their costs to the state and Fulton County in particular.

A Recent Communique from the State LWV Office Included the Following:

Petitions in support of enactment of a comprehensive campaign financing law were sent to Senator Talmadge in June. He advised that he is writing all 8,108 signees explaining his position.

The court case brought by WRNG Radio to force Georgia Legislature committee meetings to be open to the public has been resolved by the Georgia Supreme Court in favor of open meetings. A copy of the decision is in the state LWV office for reference should there be an opportunity (and financial means) to file an amicus brief in connection with an appeal which we understand in forthcoming.

Work of the state level groups in coalition for ERA is gearing up again. With two recent meetings, we are urging our members to continue contacting candidates about their stand on ERA, and after the primary and run-offs, to make personal calls and get as many written commitments as possible. To this end, we are updating our local chairmen or contact lists from all organizations. You will be receiving these soon so you can make contact in your area and perhaps "coalite" also.______♦ ..and Excerpts from the first National Board Report since the May National Convention: The national board spent two half days during the week of June 17-21 lobbying on the Hill on housing, campaign financing, strip mining, and the international development assistance legislation.

The energy task force and the board are trying to inform themselves about energy issues, and to this end the full board listened to David Freeman, director of the Ford Energy Policy Project, and John Gibbons, energy conservation consultant to the Federal Energy Administration. They are also pursuing sources of money to support the task force operation with vigor and optimism.

(continued) The new Land Use chairman, Marion Nichol, and her committee, have proceeded to prepare material and questions. The board has approved the questions and plans, which include a deadline of January 31, 1975, for reporting member opinion.

The new Rep. Govt, chairman, Judith Heimann, and her committee have already met, produced a bibliography and laid our a focus and a schedule for the expanded "study of the role of the executive branch." 'T • - ■ ■ ' ■ , The National Convention passed a motion asking the national board to look for ways of having a part in the bicentennial and to consider a-focus on individual liberties as part of the ob­ servance. A small group from the board and staff have already met to explore a proposal for funding in this area.

Implementation of convention vote authorizing action on League principles The 1974 convention of the League of Women Voters authorized action by local, state and national Leagues on the basis of League principles. Since the principles evolved from and incorporate former League positions, this authorization for action does not constitute a radical departure from action on all program positions. Thus, each League board will consider the degree of member understanding and support of any action on principles before authorizing such action, just as it does with all program positions. The Program for Action adopted by the 1974 national convention incorporated in its introductory statement and under the individual items most of the concepts listed separately in the principles. The three specific clauses not included are that government should (1) "maintain an equitable and flexible system of taxation" and (2) "promote a sound economy" and that (3) the development of "international law" is imperative in the promotion of world peace. ; These references are so general that the national committee believed that any specific action would require considerable member discussion. For example, a tax system should of course be fair and equitable, but to whom and in what proportion is a complicated question. Similarly, although the League obviously would not promote an unsound economy, just what constitutes a sound economy and how it can be achieved required careful study. The statement on development of international law, also a worthy goal, seemed to lack the speci­ ficity needed.

The national board suggests, therefore, that any action on these three aspects of the princi­ ples be taken in connection with present or future League positions to which they are appli­ cable and upon which member agreement and understanding are known.

WHAT IS THAT MYSTICAL BODY KNOWN AS THE BOARD

Here is a quick True-False quiz to see how much you know about THE BOARD?

(Circle One) 1. T F The board is the ruling body of the local League. 2. T F Attendance at board meetings by the non-board League member is by invitation only. 3. T F Board members do a lot of coffee drinking. 4. T F Board members like to keep small committees — that way they are more manageable.,^___ 5. T F " You get to be a board member because your husband is influential or can give lots of money to the League, or because the League president likes you. 6. T F If a board member does her own particular job and does it well, she has fulfilled her League obligations. 7. T F The board is responsible for two areas of activity in the League—Program and Voters Service. 8. T F A "portfolio" consists of the materials necessary fora director to do her job. 9. T F There are 14 board members.

Just call the president for the next meeting place. 3. True — Very definitely. 4. False — Board members want large committees for plenty of help and membership involvement. 5.

False — The board is responsible for supportive services for the League_ Public Relations, Finance, Annual reporting, membership, etc. 8. True — (We threw in an easy one—an ego builder.) 9. False — There are 20 board positions. (thanks to the Austin VOTER) and AF/LWV editing ******

Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible; but man s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary. ****** ACTION------~------ACTION MEMBERSHIP IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS - Sharon King, Membership Chairman

We need over 50 league members to contribute nearly 150 volunteer hours telephoning member prospects during the second annual League of Women Voters Membership Drive Telethon. Callers will work for three hours nightly on August 27-28 29 from the facilities of the First National Bank, Buckhead.

This concentrated effort, which will include a voters service reminder about the September 3 runoff, should boost A F/LWV membership over the 1000 mark.

How can YOU volunteer to help tell the League story ? BE A TELETHON VOLUNT*EER BY CALLING 351-4773 and... — IF you are a Unit Leaded or Membership Chairperson, plan a special coffee for new . member prospects either before or during your September unit meeting.

IF you are a Unit Member, attend your unit meetings regularly, read briefing materials beforehand, enter the group discussion — conscientious membership means an even better League for all.

Increasing the number of members — improving the quality of our own membership — that's everyone's business! Be informed — be enthusiastic — talk about League to your friends or neighbors — they, too, will want to join in the ACTION!!!

"CRISIS AT GOODWILL INDUSTRIES"

Goodwill Industries of Atlanta has helped a lot of handicapped people through the years. Now Goodwill Industries needs some help for itself. The organization, which employs about 150 physically handicapped men and women is face-to-face with a real financial crisis. Unless help comes right away, Goodwill will have to. drastically curtail their operations. This will maan a lot of jobs for its handicapped employees, and it could lead to the eventual closing of the organization’s plants and retail outlets.

Jim White, Goodwill president, says the agency is $21,000 in the red for this year. He thinks a number of factors have contributed to the situation. Primarily though, it's due to general economic conditions. Inflation has reduced the number of patrons who are donating repairable furniture, appliances, and other household items to Goodwill. Many former contributors are now disposing of their possessions at flea markets and garage sales Or they are supply holding on to items that they formerly gave away. Goodwill gets 8% of its budget from the United Way. The other 92% is generated by Goodwill workers.

Now at this time of need for more donations of repalrables, will you open your attic, your tasement and your heart? Ton can put used clothing and small household wares in the 60 Goodwill collection containers located at key places all over the city. For heavier dona- ' ' ■ - ” '»'T'W On,!... — a. — - -10-

. ..Katharine Akin, Publications Chairman, has assumed a Board position. Preservation of Residential Areas. The LWV supports the protection of existing residential neighborhoods from encroachment by inappropriate commercial development, increased traffic and higher densities. We recognize the need for flexibility in the application of this goal dependent on the needs of the given neighborhood.

Fulton County. The LWV believes that Fulton County should (1) adopt a comprehensive planning program that is periodically updated, (2) implement land use controls consistent with the adopted plan, (3) provide for citizen input and review.

Zoning Process: Based on our study of the zoning process the LVW supports (1) holding zoning hearings closer to the affected area rather than in one central location; (2) the use of informational meetings prior to the zoning hearing in the affected community;

The LWV believes that it is essential that a complete and up-to-date public record be kept of all testimony both oral and written presented before and during the public hearing. The LWV further believes that the local authority should state for public record the reasons for each zoning decision.

Transportation:

1. The LWV supports transportation policies for the Atlanta area that encourage (1) more reliance on public transportation (2) an increase in the carrying capacity of present street systems (3) construction of bikeway systems and more sidewalks.

2. In order to encourage greater use of public transportation the LWV supports public policy that a. allows direct community involvement in the planning process. b. requires public hearing(s) before the local government on the plan prior to adoption in the effected neighborhood. c. places more residential development in nodes or clusters, and includes more town­ houses and apartments and fewer single family homes in that development. d. seeks to maintain such model development within the existing character of the community involved. - • ■qorwices near selected transit stations. -12-

3. The LWV supports improved facilities for pedestrian traffic such as the creation of ped pedestrian malls in downtown areas like Atlanta.
