10. This tax on clubs is no new
tax. For many years it has been in
the general tax acts. At first 1t was
$500, and two years ago-in a fight
led by Judge Covington and myself
it was raised to 5000. It was SIMPLY
renewed this year AS a matter of
fact there never has been law in
Georgia against lockers, and club
members keeping liquor in them,
EVEN IN DRY COUNTIES. The
old club tax alone stood in the way.
IL. The following is an exact copy
of the locker tax, and speaks plainly
for itself:
"Under every club, corporation or
association of persons who shall keep
or permit to be kept, in any room
or place, or any rooan or place con-
nected Herewith, directly or indi-
rectly, in which membesg of such club.
association o. corporation frequent
or assemble, any intoxicating liquors,
the sum Of $500.
"PROVIDED, NOTHING IN
THIS SECTCTON SHALL RE CON
STRUED TO LICENSE OR PER
NIT ANY INTOXICANTS, IN ANY
PLACE NOW PROHIBITED BY
LAW OR WHICH SHALL HERE
AFTER BE PROHIBITED. BY
LAW"
IL. A word in conclusion: l care
nothing for the curses Of my enemies.
/ have been hurt at times by the un-
just criticism of them I have tried
honestly to serve. But regardless of
curses or approval usually do what
think is right, let the consequences
be what they may, and expect to
continue to do so. If man is hon
est with himself and the people,
things come right in the end.
Laying aside my personality in
this matter, / beg Of prohibitionists
F. in Georgia to cease grumbling over
minor matters; shut their ears to the
specious arguments Of the enemies
of their law, and for the good Of the
common cause press forward 10 the
one great issue of the enforcement of
our law.

the prohibition bill did not do.

less under the prohibition law, could

them cent-but since the club tax
was placed on such rooms, they must
pay $500 for the privilege of simply
keeping their liquor in "locker.
z. drew the club tax for $4,000
originally. This would have abso-
lutely cured the defect in the prohi

I gave to Mr.. Sheffield, of Decatur
county, and it was offered In the
house and VOTED DOWN. Then
the $500 tax was offered, and every
prohibitionist in the house. then pres
ent, voted for it. This gave the sen
ate the right to amend it, which it
did, striking out the $500 and insert,
ing $4,000 as originally offered b.
Mr.. Sheffield. 1t came back to the
house, and the house again against
my earnest appeal, voted down the
$4,000 senate amendment. Confer
ence committees were appointed from
the senate and the house, and they
finally agreed to the $500 tax the last
hour of the session.

FRENCH INTERESTED
Naval Officers Regard Cruise of Amer

Surrounded by Almost insurmount-

Paris, Dec. 16.-F'rench naval Off
GERS are intensely interested in the
cruise Of the American battleship
squadron to the Pacific As profess
sional feat, they regard 1t to be sur
rounded by almost insurmountable diff
ficulties. Captain Faber. of the general
staff, speaking today, said: ''The
Financial resources Of America make
the problem of coaling the fleet COM
paratively easy, but there are three
great difficulties, first, to keep SO many
units together; second. to provision
and repair the ships in event Of acci-
dent, and third, navigation of the
Straits of Magellan by such an ar
mada. If the cruise is successfully
accomplished, and if, at its end, as
the program contemplates. the vessels
are able to engage in target practice,
thus demonstrating their readiness to
meet a hostile fleet, the whole world
will take off its hat in admiration.
This will be demonstration of crews
and ships of the American navy which
will make even the English navy look
to Its laurels."
