The Argus gives news Il a is
news.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1909-04-02

The tendency of the times we live in Is
toward concentration of capital and CEN
traIization of authority, and unless a small
town has manufacturing establishments
or extensive works in lumber, mining or
railroad building, the end Of that town is
sure. II will get it's growth and stand
still until it rots down or a change III
methods appears, and wiser people take
charge.
A gentleman of my acquaintance, speak
ing on this subject, in regard TO a town
we both were acquainted with, said:
What's the use of putting down one's
money in new storehouses when the popu-
Iation does not increase or in building
houses to rent, when empty ones are al
ways in sight?'' .
Unless town is enterprising enough
to put its money into some endeavor that
viii draw people to it, the town cannot
grow and it is always true that capital
would prefer to invest in the outskirts
OF a big town rather than buy property
I'm the center of a stagnant town.
And when a small town concludes tc
tax the property already there above and
beyond the limit of forebarance, those who
can sell out and get away. will certainly
make the change.
IL is suicidal TO overtax these small
town people, because it is the natural
trend of things to get away from what
is improbable and vexing
When a big city reaches out and takes
in the small town, then the scene
changes. but those towns that are not in
position to be absorbed must either make
ii interesting to manufacturers land keep
down taxes) or consent to wither and dry
up. as all such towns must inevitably do.
