FOOLISH TALK.
Thomasville Times Enterp Use.

There seems to be something
about prohibition campaign
that calls forth more zeal than.
discretion. Both sides are apt
to make wild statements. The
whiskey men are willing to do
almost anything to carry their
point, and the same is true Of
the prohibitionists.
But the thing that makes us
weary about prohibition campaiI
gns in Georgia is the way the
liquor men insist on holding up
Townsville and Thomas county
as a horrible example of the evil
effects of prohibition. We do
not suppose that twenty-five per-
cent of the people in the county
would vote TO return the bar
room system. The town and
county are as near dry as any in
this or any other state. The
system is not perfect, and the
sale of liquor will never stop un-
til mems consciences triumph
over their appetites. This may
come in some golden day of the
future, but not in this generation.
But under prohibition regime it
is not so easy to get liquor, and
the result is shown in improved
moral conditions, in greater
material prosperity, and in many
other ways.
Just now Terrell county is en-
gagged in struggle with the
question of continuing or abolish
ing her dispensary. Now there
are many good arguments in
favor of a dispensary, but the
managers of the palgn pass
these by and put out untrue and
misleading slusI Ike the follow.
ing, from the dispensary page of
the Dawson News
In the county of Thomas, the
home of brother Roddenbery,
there are 1872 United States licen-
sed whiskey dealers. A GER
tain drummer not very long since
remarked to companion as they
we're aboard a train going from
Valdoata to Thomasvllle that
better whisky could be had in
Thomasville on Sunday than in
Valdosta on Monday. The COM
panion had just expressed the
regret that he had failed to sup
ply himself with quart for the
next day Sunday before de-
parting from the wet town, as
Townsville was said to be a dry
one. Thus the story goes with
the so.ca1led prohibition towns. "
The dispensary cause in
Terrell is in a bad way when it
has to resort to unfair misrep-
reservations like this. If they
will name that certain drummer
we will point out a drummer
whose name is not g'lided by the
truth. Here is another instance
of where the busy little drum
mer with the long tongue and
added pate speaketh that which
he wots not of.

TAX DODGING.
From The wrlghtsville Chronicle.


at protracted meeting than at
tax return time; and more fire.
quently exhibited at church thaD
in the tax receivers Office.
On account of it's rarity in the
latter place, however, it shines
more brightly there than at
church where it is sometimes as
serted without fear of cost.
Strange that if Mr.. Tax Payer
gets religion good and strong on
Sunday he is apt to delay the re-
turn of his property for taxation
until the latter days of the week,
when the cares of business have
occasioned considerable ebb in
the manifestation of his pious
zeal.
The theory of the law is that
each citizen should bear his just
and equal proportion of the bur-
dens of government,-no more,
no less.
That's theory.
An examination of the digest
shows that the average citizen is
engaged in a stupendous effort
to see how far he can keep from
paying his just and equal pro-
potion of the public demands.
That's practice.
Of course self-preservation is
the first law of nature, and per-
haps many citizen feels obliged
to apply the rule to preserve his
property, when taxes get higher
and higher each succeeding
year,-thinks himself unable to
meet the rate on a true value of
his property, he endeavors to
save himself by swearing off the
value of his earthly possessions.
The government is largely to
blame for the laxity of religion
and good morals exhibited by
the people at tax gathering time.
Instead of public demands de-
creasing or only keeping up with
the advance of christianity and
civilization, every cycle of the
wheel of time observes the pub
lie demands increased.
Should a decrease or even a
permanent level of taxation be
possible, the people would gem
orally content themselves to be
more just as between themselves
and the government.
In the meantime what is gen.
uiuely honest man to do?
If he returns his property at
its true value, he bears more
than his just proportion of taxa
ton, because his neighbors
shirk their duty; whereas if he
returns his property at less
than its value, his conscience is
the sufferer.
By making fair return he is
unjust to his pocket. By making
a false return he violates his con-
science.
Hence what is he to do?
"Comparative honesty" seems
to be the only practical solution
of the matter under present con-
ditions.
By being Comparatively" as
honest as the average citizen, one
meets the true theory of govern
ment in bearing his just proper
ton of public burdens.
For instance, on a true value
return of all property, of course
each citizen would pay just
share of taxes. If the returns
were twice the true value, each
man would still bear a just share.
Likewise if the return be on a
basis of third, or half the true
value, and each citizen apply the
same general rule honestly, in
that case each citizen would also
bear a just share of taxes.

SCHOOL BONDS
OF NEWARK
SELL. WELL
Local Purchasers Take Them
Up in Varying LOts--Little
Doing in Other Securities.


Several small blocks of Newark City
per cent. school bonds were sold in
the local securities market this morn
ing, but there was little DOING in bonds
of public utility corporations or in any
line of stocks. Investors said that they
were satisfied that the financial trou-
bles in New York are settled, and that
hereafter the national banks and trust
companies will be in better condition
than ever, for the troubles last week
had brought the national banks and
the trust companies closer together.
The Newark banks and trust com
panies were not affected by the New
York scare last week, though some
depositors drew out money to invest
in local municipal county bonds at the
low prices that now prevail, the lowest
yet recorded. The investors will hold
these bonds for a. rise in price when
money becomes more plentiful The
money paid for the bonds to brokers
and others was put back in the banks
as soon as received.
Before the market closed Saturday
blocks Of $1,000. $1,000 and $4,000, Of
the bonds were sold, and one sale Of
$50 900 worth was recorded. Many new
boxes have been rented in safe deposit
vaults to hold these securities.
