TAXING BACHELORS.

The word Chestnut ought not to pass
into "innocuous desuetude' for awhile yet
for it is often badly needed to fifty charac>
terize some of the schemes and undertake
ings OF the Georgia Legislature. Repeating
for perhaps the hundredth time what pre-
vious Legislatures have pretended to do,
some bilious member has introduced a
bill to tax bachelors specially. A day has
been appointed at which it will be taken
up as the special order order of the day,
when the big guns will proceed to go for
that long suffering individual the 'bache,
lor" Now, we are not disposed to take
sides with any such a movement. The
bachelor is here, and here to stay, and we
say, that if let alone, he will solve the
bachelor problem and work out his own
salvation with fear and trembling-besides
we do not wish to array such formidable
host against US anyway. A man who has
escaped the traps set for them by old maids
and widows until he has got to that point
when he can sing with fervor and junction.
that good old song: Darling am grow
ing old, would certainly be a power in
politics which one could little afford to
disregard, and we had much rather have
them for US, than against US, and should
they take notion to assert their rights
against those who would disturb their long
suffering complacency with an extra tax,
some of these legislators would, doubtless,
at the next session, be longing for the still
waters and green pastures that used to be
their portion.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
All Taxes Fall Due and Are Payable at
the Same Time.

The recent decision of the supreme
court, in a railroad case, to the effect
that taxes on property should be
uniform as to. the time of payment
and also as to the penalty for nom
payment or delay in payment, is one
OF more practical importance than
was first suspected.
Its effect will be that the $500, 900
railroad taxes due heretofore by the
LIST of October, and the $4,000 in
surance taxes due heretofore by the
LIST of April, will not be pad until
the Goth of December, when the
taxes are due on all the property.
1t will readily be seen bow change
in the time of settlement saill work
serious inconvenience in the comp
troller generals Office. The railroad
and insurance taxes were made to
fall due at just those times when
the state needed money.
The treasury can be adjusted in
time without difficulty, as the
amount of the income is not changed
at all, but calculations based upon
100000 railroad taxes coming in
by the LIST of October will be upset
by this decision.
