MANY "SHOESTRING" TOWNS
ARE SPRINGING UP IN GEORGIA
TO GET RAILROAD TAXES.
Some villages Incorporated for Sew
craI Miles Up and Down Rail-
road Tracks.

The interesting fact that shoe
string" towns are springing up all
over Georgia has recently been re-
marked upon at the capitol, where
the question of taxes is dealt with
and where corporation taxes for
towns and counties have to be col
lected, says an Atlanta dispatch.
These "shoestring" towns have
been the product of the law requiring
railroads to pay taxes to each incor-
porated town through which they
run. and the more of a railroad a
town can incorporate the more taxes
it will get out of it.
There are numerous examples OF
towns in the state with a population
of 500 to 1000 which have incor-
porated from two to four miles of
railroad track just to get the taxes
on it. Along with every mile of
railroad track goes its proportion of
rolling stock and personal property
owned by the company. Hence
mile of good railroad track is a val
liable asset to a small community.
There is one of these "shoestring"
towns not far from Atlanta through
which run two of the most prosper
Gus railroads in the state, the Cen
trail of Georgia and the Atlanta and
West Point With one mile of each
of these roads on either side of the
station, which stands in the center
of the town, this village has four
miles of the most valuable railroad
property in the state upon which to
levy taxes. 1t is easy to see how
taxes from this much railroad prop
erty are sufficient to support town
of that sort independently of taxes
from the residents.
Under the new law which permits
the taxation of property for school
purposes, new school districts are
likewise springing up all over the
state These, too, are marking out
their boundaries so as to include as
much corporation property as posi-
BILE, thus increasing their income.

 Chicago.1
 Chicago, Sept. 22--When the populist party. which is now In the seer ana ana organized, one of its cardinal precepts was that no lawyer should hold legislative office. This was unques- tionably going to a grave extreme. But the deplorable revelations made as to the connection of Senator Foraker with the Standard Oil Company cer- tainiy indicate that a lawyer who sits cepts retainers from corporations and trusts which are likely at any time to ask legislative favors Is an unft representative of the people.
 It Is idle to plead the right of an attorney to take business of this char acter. The attorney unquestionably will be swayed by his sense of loyalty to his clients when 1t comes to voting on a question in which he is interested. The only clients a Senator of the United States should have are the people of the United States whom he Is there to represent. have known Senator Foraker long and well and have admired hts ability and his cour- age. though at no time did I believe In hHG kOfcthAiNAtdi PhthSAPACo hC cr1HN' for. But he cannot dismiss the in1- piled charges made in the letters that have been made public by MT. Hearst by saying he does not let politics in- terfere with his law business, or his law business interfere with his politics. Tbis is q position which no man. how ever well balanced, or however keen his sense of honor and we'll developed his conscience could possibly main tain.
 All the same. people understand probably nobody is happier over this Hearst outbreak than MT. Taft himself, unless 1t may be his brother, Charles F. It was promised at the beginning of the Taft campaign that Foraker was to be eliminated from politics.
 A prominent Ohio politician after reading and stewing over the Foraker story, had this to say. Everybody knows Charles P. Taft is a covert can- didate for Foraker's seat in the United States Senate. If his brother Is elected President and he Senator, his power in the Senate end of the Capitol would be greater than that of any other man, unless 1t is the Standard Oil statesman. Mir Aldrich. If his brother is not elected, but the Legislature of Ohio goes Republican. and sends him to the Senate he will be in a position of commanding power.
 ''I wonder whether 1t is not possible the way in which those letters got into the hands of Hearst was not devised and carried out by Charles P. Taft. 1t looks like the fulhllment of his early promise to put Foralxer out of politics, and 1t certainly helps materially to advance his own Senatorial ambitions. Charles P. Taft and Hearst are men much of a feather, both rich. both in- terested in public utilities, both anil mated by bitter hostility to the Demo- cratic party. Mir. Hearst would be

Small Quantities.
 Since its discovery one year ago the new drug, poslam, has successfully cur ed thousand of chronic cases or ecze- ma and other distressing skin an1ic- lions. Heretofore poslam has been dis pensed solely for the benefit of ecze- ma patients in large jars sufficient for months treatment. This was found to be an inconvenience to many thou sands who use 1t for minor skin troub- les. such as pimples. blackheads. herpes. acne, scaly scalp complexion biemishes. itching feet. piles, etc. which require but small quantity to cure. To over~ come this. and fin response to urgent appeals the dispensers of polsam have been obliged to adopt. in addition to the regular two-doilar package. a spe- cial hfty-cent size. which in future may be found on sale at D. c.

In all eczema cases posiam stops itching with first application. and proceeds to heal immediately: chronic cases being cured in two weeks.
