SHOULD TAX ROADS
On Same Basis as They Tax the Public
Says Governor Hoks Smith in
Message to Solous
Message to Solons

The passage of legislation watch Will
require the railroads Of Georgia to
pay taxes to the state on exactly the
same valuation as that given by them
as basis for freight and passenger
rates M,aa..g urged in special m ssage
sent e the general assembly by GOV
ernor Hoke Smith Wednesday.
That railroads operating in Georgia
have given in the value Of their prop
erty at one figure for taxation lur-
poses, and then in resisting orders Of
the railroad commission for lower
rates have sworn to much higher val
uations is pointed out, the Southern
railway and the Central Of Georgia be-
ing cited as instances
Last year the Central, says Governor
Smith, returned its tangible property
and its franchise at $l6,828,85O, while
during the hearing before the federal
court Vice President W. A. Winburn
swore that the cost Of reproducing
its lines and therefore the present &C
lual minimum value of its lines and
,,,,,,i,,,,,o,,- l., coo ecG 900
in like manner Governor Smith
shows that the Southern returned it's
property in Georgia at $14,884,923, but
that Vice President J. NJ. Culp swore
that the cost of reproduction and
therefore the present minimum value
is $4S,15000O." That the Southern IS
now resisting an assessment Of $26,000,-
coo by the comptroller general was
also shown by the governor.
Governor Smith then goes on to state
that under the present law arbitrators
are not sworn and are given no author
ity to swear those who come before
them If arbitrators were given the
authority to make railroad officials give
in the value of their properties under
oath, Governor Smith says they could
be forced to swear to the same vaIua-
tons which they give whep eg'S''us
rate reductions.

been in conference with Mr.. Boyd Of
Spalding in regard to the latter's bill
now pending before the house appro-
priation committee. seeking to secure
from the state $4,000, to be added to
a similar sum to be raised through
private subscription with which to in
stall la cotton seed Oil refinery at the
Tech. He has assured Mr.. Boyd of his
cordial support in the measure and
declared that he would do all in his
power to aid him in the matter.
1--WE have a place for the refinery
at the Tech already" stated DR. Math-
eson in discussing the measure. 1T is
the basement of our new chemical
laboratory just recently erected. This
place could be fitted up very easily,
and would be most accessible to our
very elaborate and complete chemical
laboratory.
This is one branch of the cotton
business which the Tech has not touch

Prisoner Took Care Of Deputy.

Prisoner Took Care of Deputy.
One of Ben Hills deputy sherifs
went to Macon a few days ago to
bring back a negro held in the Macon
Jail. The prisoner reached Fitzgerald
safely on the train, bringing the depu-
ty so drunk he did not know where
to get off the train.
The negro states that the Macon
official turned him over to the deputy,
who proceeded to take in the town,
and narrowly escaped being arrested
for disorderly conduct. They succeed
ed in making the train for Fitzgerald,
and when they reached the city the
negro had the deputy, his grip, revolv-
er, handouts and a quart of whiskey
all in his charge. The deputy was so
drunk he refused to get off the train,
and had to be taken off by force by
the police and was taken to jail.
No one know that the negro was a
prisoner until the police were putting
the deputy in jail, when he touched
one of the officers on the arm and
said: Hold on, boss, I goes in there,
too" and they let him go in.
