A MHANGE OF LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
OTHER REASONS.

In my communication last week
in regard to the desirability of
selling the W. and A. railway
there occurred some errors which
| desire to correct. The state owes
81, 100000 in bonds which it is
proposed to discharge by selling
the road fot $40, 1000, 900, leaving a
balance in the treasury of 50. 400,-
600 instead of 81, 100000 as it ap-
peared in print. The interest on
this at four per cent is $96, 900 per
annum which added to 1904 900
the interest at four per cent saved
annually on the bonded indebted
ness amounts to 100000. By
taxing the road upon the basis of
S., 10000 the state would derive
$50, 900 per annum to say nothing
of county and municipal taxes. At
present the road pays no taxes be-
cause it is owned by the state.
With the 81, 100000 surplus as u
contingent fund always to be
maintained by returning the sums
borrowed from it to meet casual
deficiencies as was formerly done
with the school fund the state
would save $4,000 per annum,
but it would lose $4,000 per an
mum which it receives for the
lease of the road leaving a net
gain OF $4,000 to the state. With
the Southern on one side and the
l.. q N. on the other with line
running to Chattanooga from the
latter, the w. & A. will be worth
very little when the present lease
expires. The w. & A. is 1873 miles
long and 6 miles of it are in Ten
nessee.
There are in Cobb county about
thirty miles of track of the w &
A. railway. If the $1,000, 900 val
uation fixed upon the purchasers
of the road should be apportioned
among the counties through which
1T passes III proportion to the
mileage in each county Cobb's
share would be 81, 1856, 1868, and the
actual tax it would receive upon
this amount would be $500. Ma
rletta would also receive o consid-
cradle amount. Since the fran
chise bill has become law the
road would also have to pay tax
upon this which would increase
still more it's state county and city
taxes. In view of these facts will
not our county and city officers
cooperate with those of other
counties and cities through which
the W. & A. passes in order to use
their influence to induce their
representatives i'll the legislature
to vote for the sale of the W. & A.?

as opponents on a neutral field.
Our navy ranks fourth upon the
globe being surpassed by the ma
vies of Great Britain, Germany
and France. With the navies of
all the other European countries
included with these we should not
be able if we attempt to succor
the South American countries, to
land a single transport of soldiers
upon South American soil The
fifteen or twenty European vessels
to the one American vessel would
sink our ships as fast as they ap-
peared. We could easily defeat
combined Europe on the soil of
the United States, but either Eng
land, Germany or France could
probably defeat us on water.
Of course it sounds very grand
to talk about fighting for princi-
pie, but when the principle has
not very much to commend it and
the fighting will surely end disas-
trously for us it seems to the writ
er that discretion should be the
better part of valor. The writer
believes that this country was in
tended by Providence to be an OBJ
ject lesson for all the other nations
of the world, and that it will never
permanently include more terri
tory than is now included in it on
the North American continent
We are to be the hermit nation
undistracted by the turmoils of
Europe, South America or any
other parts of the world, but
calmly pursuing the principles of
religion and the arts of peace we
are to convert the world to uni-
versal christianity and brother
hood In this connection 1T is
gratifying to note the reaction
that is setting in against the pol
icy of holding the Philippines.
The writer believes that the bust
ness interests of the North are
against the policy because of the
danger of war with other nations
on account o: these possessions.
War unsettles business. Bryan
has always been against holding
the islands. Cleveland who has
until recently beef non-committal
on the subject now declares against
retaining this territory. With
the leaders of both factions of
democracy opposed to retention it
is pretty certain that the demo-
Gratis if they succeed in 1904 will
liberate the Philippines to be
followed later by Hawaii and Por-
to Rico.

ABANDON 1T.

Senator Bacon expresses the
opinion that the United States

alternatives it will adopt the lat
