whole business as nice as any three
witches ever did. But when it came time
for the caldron to sink into the earth the

mad and saying ooh, dearv L got to
laughing and so did the other witches.
Somebody turned on the gas and showed
the whole thing to the audience: Inc au-

swore worse than ever, but Min didn't do

a long speech when some fellow in the
gallery yelled out: Get onto his nobs IN

audience up and spoiled the speech. But
Min didn't swear any-he only looked
mad. Any other actor would have sworn

The Georgia Financial Question

The Georgia ludhCtoA NSuCs'i""'
The financial question Of the hour in
Georgia is not the payment Of the 1870
100 Of bonded Indebtedness which falls due
in $50. for which the General Assembly
about 10 convene will have 10 provide, as
some OF the newspapers have enormously
concluded. There viii be no question on
this subject. except the incidental one OF
the rate Of interest at which the bonds
can be renewed or replaced. The real
question is how 20 cover a deficit which
is shown bv the Treasurer's estimates OF
raceints and disbursements for the fiscal
year 1SS5.
The deficit Is estimated at $242, 321. and
the list OF probable receipts and dis
bursements Is made with care, guided by
a thorough knowledge Of the financial
condition OF the state. which precludes
the idea that it will vary materially from
The real status OF the Treasury in 1So5. In
the estimate Of disbursements Is the sum
Of 500. $50 for building the new capitol,
which cannot properly be made
charge on the Treasury until further
legislation. as the amount, as appro-
priated b. the last General Assembly
was to be paid out Of any surplus which
might be on hand after meeting all ordl-
nary demands against the State. The
main and most forcible argument in favor
OF building q new capitol was the asser-
ton that it could be done without inereas-
ing taxation OF burdening the people. 1t
viii not. therefore, be surprising if 1t
should now be asked in many quarters,
were those who advanced this argument
in ignorance Of the real condition Of the
finances Of the state, or did they
knowingly attempt 70 deceive the General
Assembly, Were it not for the fact that
the contract made for the building Of the
new capitol Is apparently most advan-
taceous one to the State, postponement
Of the work might be the quickest way OF
solving the main part Of the deficit
question.
II the building Of the new capitol is to
be carried on, the General Assembly
must provide for an increase Of receipts
or for the alternative Of carrying over
a considerable floating Indebtedness until
the next General Assembly cOnvenes.
The only ways to increase the receipts OF
the treasury are by increase Of the rate OF
taxation, or by providing for a correct re-
turn OF property, securing the collection
Of taxes which are now justly due the
State. but which are fraudulently with
held by property owners by the making
Of false returns.
There is no doubt that if the property
subject to taxation in the State Is pro-
perly valued and returned all de-
mauds on the Treasury can be met with
out increasing the rate of taxation. The
question is, will this be provided for or
will the General Assem- bly, add to the in
justice done to honest taxpayers by in
creasing the burdens they now bear
while the dishonest taxpayers may still
be allowed to evade the law through it,
impotence and the inefficiency Of the IN
struments provided for its enforcement!
