PLAN FOR RAISING MONEY.
CONTROLLER GENERAL WRIGHT
PRESENTS HIS VIEWS.

Require Every NInn to List His Notes.
Mortgages, Liens, Etc. at Face
and Market Value, and Make All
Debts UncoIIecta5Ie Which Are Not
so Rcturned-Don't Give Protection
TO Property Not Bearing Its Por-
ton of Taxes.
Atlanta. Ca, Nov. S.-Capt ". A.
Wright, controller general Of the state
has some good ideas on The subject Of tax
reforms and win urge their Incorporation
into law by the legislature as a means
of meeting the deacu an revenues which
has been growing from year 10 year, I'M
I'll The treasury is threatened with deplc-
ton.
In order to make the appropriations fit
the revenues, some of the statesmen are
advocating a reduction of the school fund
and The pension funds. together with a
scaling of salaries among state officials
Others are. however advocating tax re-
form laws that VIII increase the revenues
and thus make it possible 10 allow the
appropriations 10 the school and pension
funds 10 remain intact
Controller Wright takes sides with the
latter class. and in presenting his ideas
in skeleton to the Morning News CORE
spondent to-day said: Let every man be
required to list his notes, accounts, mort
cages, liens. judgments and other evil
dences of debt. Let him have TWO columns,
one for the face value and one for the mar
ket value and file the list with the ordi-
nary or County Commissioners. Then make
al debts uncollectable if not returned for
taxation. In other words, don't give the
protection Of the courts TO property which
refuses 20 bear It's share of the burden
of government.
Then let each corporation return its
bonds and require the treasurer TO pay tax
on them deducting it from the interest
coupons. That would gel an immense
amount of property that is unreturned
The corporations would fight il, but the
holders of bonds should be made to pay.
III the legislature win enact a law of
this kind it viii not only relieve the pres
ent situation. but viii permanently reduce
the tax rate to the great relief of the hon
est tax payers"

Laelede Hotel was kept out of the service

Spain by single drop of India ink. Mr.
Ford though he has passed the fiftieth
milestone, wears a medal commemorative
of distinguished service, and protests that
he is as well qualified to stand the IA
tsues OF army life as many a younger
recruit. The medal which he wears as a
watch charm, IS handsome gold one. An
inscription on its reverse side shows that
he was once the commander of the best
drilled military company in the world
During the worlds fair at Chicago, in 1898.
Mr.. Ford was first Lieutenant OF Com
pany G., of the Third Wisconsin Militia
Regiment. which organization was chosen
to represent the United States in an in
ternational drill in which the military of
eight nations took part including Eng
land, France and Germany. IL was Lieut.
Ford who drilled the company in the great
competition in the absence of the cap
tain. The Third Wisconsin company was
awarded the prize. and one of its mem
bers, Private Edward Fitzgerald. was The
winner Of the individual driu in compe-
ution with picked soldiers representing an
of the principal foreign countries.
