Officers of the Law to Make
Children Attend School.
IF COMPULSORY BILL PASSES

Once More Enthusiasts Would Have
the State to Take From the Parent
Another Duty and Responsibility.
The Full Text of the Measure Now
BEFORE the Legislature. Paternal-
ism in Its Rankest Form.
Bplow The News prints in full the
compulsory educational bill that is
now before the legislature, and which
manv believe will be passed by that
body
Senator ]. R. Irwin of this district
is active in his opposition to it, and
representative M. H. Marshall, when
in Dawson a few days ago, expressed
himself as having decided views
against the need or wisdom of such
LEGISLATION. The bill follows:
section l. Be it enacted by the
General assembly of the state of
Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by
authority of the same: That any
narent or guardian having under his
or her control a child between the
ages of s and IA years, or standing
in parental relation to such child,
shall cause to be enrolled and to
attend some public, private or paro-
chial school for a period of not less
than sixteen weeks of regular attend
ance during each school year; pro-
vided that this section shall not APP
plv to any child not in proper physi-
raj or mental condition to attend
school, who shall present the certi-
fcate of a reputable physician to that
effect, nor to any child who lives
more than three miles by the nearest
travelled road from the school house,
which such child would be required
to attend, nor to any other child,
who for sufficient reason, which is
specified, is excused from such at
tendance by the county or district
school board. Instruction during the
required period elsewhere than at
school shall be at least substantially
equivalent to that given to the child
of like age in the public, private or
parochial schools where such child
resides
Sec 9 1t shall be the duty of
all principals of public or common
schools in this state, and of all 9TH
er schools incorporated under the
state laws, at the end of the term
of such schools to make a written re-
port to the county or township SUI
perintendent of schools, in the coun-
ty or town where such school is
located, showing the ages of all chill
dren between the ages of and IA,
who have attended such school dur
ing the school year just closed and
the period of time for which such
child was attended
Sec 3. 1t shall be the duty of
the county or township superintend-
ent Of schools to compare such list
annually with the list of children of
school age shown in the school CEN
suS and to furnish annually to Off
GERS of the law list of the children
therein shown as not to have at
tended school for the period required
by this act Upon such information
or upon affidavit of any reputable
person that any parent, guardian or
person standing in parental relation
has violated this law it shall be the
duty of the aforementioned officers
10 proceed against such offending
person before the proper court.

THE CONSTITUTION WAS CONCERNED
AND JOE HALL GOT HIS DANDER UP

ATLANTA.-The ire Of Hon. Joe
Hill Hall was aroused Tuesday by
the bill of Mr.. Johnson of Barlow
exempting certain farm products
from taxation.
This provides for constitutional
amendment to be submitted to the
people, and was reported favorably
by the general agriculture commit
tee. When the reading Of the bill

GAMBLING ON HARTMAN.
Lloyds Company Wrote Big Policy
on Him for New York Investor.


on Him for New York Investor.
Wall street is now gambling on
the life of Mr.. E. H. Hartman.
Lloyds, London, the other day wrote
policy of 100000 on Mr.. Harri-
man for a New York investor in his
railroad properties. The rate on the
policy, which is what is known as a
p. P. L." meaning 'policy in proof
OF interest" is said to have been
u guineas per cent, which is
equivalent to s per cent. in the
American rating. The policy covers
every contingency, and runs for one
year. The Lloyds are said to have
been writing such policies on the
life OF Mr.. Hartman every day for
the past two months, or ever since
reports of his i'll health began to be
circulated.

Mr.. Speaker, do / understand that
b4d seeking to amend the consti-
tuition OF the state of Georgia has
been considered by the general agri-
cultural eommittee?"
When told this was true he shout
ed a motion to recommit it to the
committee on constitutional amend
Hments, and he had his way, too.

SODA JERKERs BREATHE EASY.
Tax on FOunts Same as Last Year
Despite Efforts to Raise 1t.

Tax on FOunts Same as Last Year
Despite Efforts to Raise 1t.
Dawson soda-jerkers, or rather
the men for whom they work, have
drawn long breath of relief, for the
tax next year will be the same as it
was last, five dollars for each "arm"
of the fount operated. There was
endeavor on the part of various leg
islators to have this amount raised.
One motion before the ways and
means committee of the house was
to make this a lump sum of twenty
dollars, but that was not thought to
be just to the little fellows, both on
the outskirts of the cities and in the
smaller towns of the state.
Barrett of Stephens enlightened
the committee to the effect that
founts could be bought as low as
$25, and many were in operation that
only cost few hundred dollars, and
it would not be fair to make these
people pay the same as another soda
water concern that probably have as
much as $4,000 in the business.
After discussing all phases of the
proposition the members of the COM
mittee thought the nearest approach
to an equitable adjustment of the
matter was to require the sodawater
dispensers to pay for each arm or
spigot in operation at their founts,
this being the requirement for the
last two years.

KNOCKS TAX ON INCOME
Justice Brewer Says It viii Rob
States of Their Vitality.
ALSO KNOCKS Mr.. ROOSEVELT

Eminent Jurist Says the South Must
Settle the Negro Question. De-
clares That Every Generation
Ought to Pay Its Debts. Is For
Universal Peace.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-Addressing
the Association of Agents of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Co. of this
city, of which company he is a trus-
tee, Justice David ]. Brewer of the
United States supreme court today
expressed himself upon the income
tax in part as follows:
Under the hue and cry of today
we must have an income tax which
means a tax upon all incomes, and
II that power to tax all income is
given the government we will see the
states taxed not out of their ex-
lstence, but out of their vitality.
The idea leads up to the question
Oh placing the entire power in the
control of the nation, and the state
is left out of the matter"
The Justices speech was impromp-
tu, and touched upon various topics.
referring to the public debt Justice
Brewer said:
AT the close of the civil war we
began paying the debt of that war.
and we kept on paying the debt.
A Jab at Roosevelt.
Owing to the unwise attitude Of
the political leaders and the presi-
dent VINO spoke of me and my navy
we have piled up public debts for
vessels which will rust before they
are used.
80 far as possible, believe every
generation should pay its own debts.
We should not pile up debts for the
future. The only thing we should
be guarded against is the wickedness
OF the bankers and Wall street spec
ulators VINO occasionally get up
panic. The Almighty is going to re-
quire of us to continue to strive and
do our best, and we shall see the
picture of honest man doing honest
business. We had ten years of I'M
precedented prosperity until the late
financial depression, and we can have
1t again. But must all exercise hon
esty and fairness to all men.
The South and the Negro.
I'VE have great questions that we
must meet as we go along, and these
questions-the negro question. for
lnstance-we must meet and solve.
mere is negro question that we
IN the north cannot control, and this
question must be controlled by our
friends in the south, and it is our
duty to encourage them in it's solu-
ton.
The colonial question is another,
and we must educate the people we
have inherited.
Then, female franchise is a cues.
ton that cannot be ignored. They
are appealing to our intelligence,
and we must meet it and talk it. If
1t is to the interest of the gentIer
sex that they should vote then it is
for the interests of the nation.
For Universal Peace.
Il have one supreme faith in the
hope" exclaimed the great iurist.

that my children may, live to behold

ROADS LIABLE FOR LOST MAIL?
Novel Case in Which a Georgia Rail-
road Is Interested.


A novel case involving the right of
the government to recover from
transportation companies the value
OF the contents of registered pack
ages lost or destroyed in transit has
Just been argued in the federal court
at Wilmington, Del. The suit was
filed against the Atlantic Coast Line
and involves $4,000. The suit grew
out of the wreck on the Atlantic
coast Line at Lucana, N. c., in 1904,
when the mail car was demolished
and registered mail. including a
package of diamonds from Paris.
was lost. The dismissal of the case
was sought by the railroad company
on the plea that the railroad is not
liable for mail in transit, and that
the government is not even liable
but sustains the loss.
