H. H. Rogers, the $5O,0OO,0OO
Standard Oil magnate, died suddenly
of apoplexy last week. He was next
to John D. Rockefeller in the Stand
ard Oil Company and was the guiding
hand in overriding the laws and the
courts, but when the grim reaper
came along he was up against the
real thing. The law of nature is one

1t seems to us that such a system

This is unquestionably one of the
reasons why the full valuation is not

JUDGE HARRIS MISTAKE,

In recent interview Attorney
General Hart has quite a bit to say
concerning the States present sys-
tenn of taxation, claiming that it is
hundred years old" and consists of
nothing more than passing the hat
for contributions, some contrib
uting according to law, others less
and some contributing none at all.
He calls attention to the fact that
the brunt of the burden of support
ing the State government now rests
upon those who desire to comply
strictly with the law and that they
have to suffer for the wrongs of
those who misreprosent the valua-
ton of their property.
AS remedy of these evils, Judge
Hart suggests a State board of equal
izers and board of assessors in each
county.
We are in full sympathy with the
attorney general in his desire for an
equitable system Of taxation, but
would not his remedy be worse than
the evils complained of? We are
convinced that it would.
If this action was taken, it would
create several hundred extra offices
in Georgia, an already office-ridden
State.
This would add to the expense of
the government several thousand
dollars per year, and even then it is
seriously doubtful as to whether the
conditions would be materially ben
Gifted
We believe that the evils of the
present system result largely from
the injustices of the taxation laws
now in effect.
We wish to call attention especial
ly, in this connection, to the double
taxation which property is frequently
made to bear by reason of the exist
ing laws, For instance, when a per-

WHY THERE is NO DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
PARTY.

That eighteen Democratic Senators
should have voted with Aldrich last
Thursday to take iron ore from the
free list, and tax it rs cents a ton,
goes far towards answering the
question why there is no Democratic
party With brains and principles
both out of it, why should it pretend
to be alive any longer? Free iron
ore was one of the cardinal features
of the Wilson bill, as it passed the
House in 1894. Two proposals were
made, while the schedule was under
debate in the House, to put duty
on iron ore, but both were rejected,
one by vote of 1876 to IS, the other
by 100 to 50. The duty was put
back by the Senate, in 1894 as last
week; but this was one of the things
which President Cleveland had in
mind when he denounced the Senate
changes as a work of "perfidy and
dishonor." Free raw materials in
general, and free iron ore in par
ticular, have been the battle-cry OF
Democrats for years; but when a bill
comes up from a Republican House
making iron ore free, over half the
Democratic Senators join hands
with hidebound Republican protec-
tionists to put back the duty. 1t is
not simply a question of iron ore:
the whole iron and steel schedule
will be affected by the decision to
tax the raw material. The pretence
of it's being a revenue duty is too
pitiful. The entire estimated rev.
enue on iron ore, leaving out the
Cuban product which comes in un-
der the reciprocity treaty, is $127,-
600! That is a pretty thin salve for
the conscience of the recreant Dem
ocratic Senator's They might better
have frankly said that they voted at
the demand of powerful protected
interests in their States. After this,
all their talk about wishing to re-
move tariff burdens and about hating
monopolies, will only show how fond
they are of being laughed at. The
force of disqualification cannot
easily go further-The Nation.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-06-17

Who would ever suspect, on read
ing the iron ore vote in the Senate
recently, that free raw materials was
once cardinal Democratic doctrine?

TIE COTTON CROP
OF THE STATE.
More Than nhree-Fourths Of the
Cotton Is Cinned.

That the State will make 400 bales
OF cotton ON it's fonr convict farms il
the present estimate of Capt. g. 8. Ney-
land, the superintendent OF the farms.
This will be more thar 1000 bales short
Of last years crop, Notwithstanding IN
increased acreage Of between 700 and
800 acres. says the Jackson News.
OF this years crop $3.50 bales have
already been ginned and not > bale has
been sold. At Parchman, on the big
sunfower farm, about 300 of the $500
prospective bales have been ginned. At
Tchula, on the Belmont place, 216 Of the
$50 prospective bales have been ginned.
At Oakley, 116 bales have been ginned
and there are yet about a dozen bales.
On the Rankin farm, where there will
be less than Is bales, none has been
ginned as yet. When all the picking
has been finished the seed cotton will
be hauled to this city and ginned at ono
of the local cotton mills.
Capt. Neynald thinks that practically
all the States cotton will be picked
next week, and every boil Of it cleaned
up during the week following. Before
the middle of December all of it will be
ginned and ready for market.
AS yet no further arrangements have
been made in regard to the sale Of the
cotton. 1t had been the intention OF
the board of trustees to sell about hall
the crop or Nov. 10th, but this was
called off on account of a sharp decline
in the market and no further action has
been taken. 1t appears likely that the
entire crop will be sold in a single lot,
a thing heretofore unknown in this in
stitution, where it has been the custom
to sell whenever there was enough cot
ton to justify inviting bidders, and only
in a few instances has it been found
necessary to hold for an advance.
