during the first year OF that era the coun-
ties have fallen into line and called for
their couvicts. catching the infectious en-
thusiasm OF road-building ana progress.
Even within the past few weeks ccun-
ties have been added to the list of those

Now. little over a month from the be-
ginning of the second year. seven more

STATE TAX RETURNS TO
LOOK BIGGER THIS YEAR

Georgia's corporations will have to pay
taxes on bigger valuations this year than
they paid last year-appreciably bigger,
under the franchise act of 1902. if the
greater prosperity of 1909 over the years
consideration.
Comptroller General Wright corrects
the mistaken impression prevailing in
some minds that Georgia's wealth has
shown no increase in the tax figures for
the last two years.
There has been large increase in the
assessed valuations every year up till last
year, since the franchise act was passed
in 1902 and became effective in 1903,
he SAYS Last year the increase was
small. This year it ought to be consid-
erably more. Before the franchise act
was passed there was no growth in the
value of property long as its physi-
cal condition was unchanged-in the case
of railroad, for instance, as long as the
trackage wasn't extended or increased.
Now the value of property, under the
franchise act, is expected to grow as its
earning capacity grows OF course we
would be represented to the world as not
increasing in wealth"
Figures returned by corporations for
taxation may be accepted or not by
the comptroller. If they are not accept
ed, a board of arbitration decides the
matter.
The date on which property's condi-
ton is to determine its value for taxa
ton has not yet been fixed this year.
Under the law, the governor and comp
troller and treasurer as a board to fix that
date at somewhere between January
and May 1 each year The board cannot
meet, though, before March 1. All re-
turns must be in by May l. After they
are received, the comptroller has 60
days in which to decide whether their
figures will be accepted by the state.
The state tax rate limited by the con-
stitution to mills, has been at that limit
for a number of years.

The salary paid the governor, he as
