Washington-The removal Of the
tariff as an issue before Congress by
the end of the week will mark an
important step in the progress toward
an early adjournment. Agreements for
votes on the leading tariff bills. cou.
pied with understandings that other
important legislation will be disposed
Of. indicate that the week will see
some Of the most important work OF
the session.
Failure of Congress to agree on the
appropriation bills which should have
been passed before July LIST. has EN-.
barrassed many government depart.
ments. Pressure has been brought to
bear on House and Senate to dispos ;
of the pending measures. and 1t is ex-
pec:ed much progress will be made in
the next few days.
The agricultural and naval bills are
in conference. Failure to act on the
postoffice appropriation bill has re-
tarded work in that department.
The first OF the week will be de-
voted, it is expected. to completion
Of the sundry civil appropriation bill
and the debate on the Panama canal
administration bill In the Senate.
The Democratic wool tariff bill will
be voted on Thursday. the excise tax
bill Friday and the sugar tariff Satur-
day. On each measure the debate will
be limited to the single day set for
the vote.
1t is expected that the House will
take up the tariff again and pass the
cotton bill. as the result Of the SEN
ate's determination to submit the
other Democratic measures to vote.
The House will consider measures
regulating employment Of seamen on
American ships; the eight-hour law
covering government work; the free
ship" bill, for the admission without
tariff duty OF materials used in Amer
ican ships. and the wireless telegraph
measure agreed upon by the two
houses.
The need for immediate legislation
regulating the operation Of the PAN
anna canal is fully appreciated in the
Senate, where the fight over free tolls
for American ships threatens to hold
up the bill already passed by the
House. A plan has been broached IL
the Senate to pass n temporary meat
ure giving President Taft executive
authority to operate the canal and to
fix a temporary toll rate. leaving the
permanent question to be settled ~
the next session.

GOOD PRICES BROUGHT
BY COTTON SEED
Local Market is Short OH
Receipts

The Americas market is paying the
best prices for cottonseed now that
the farmers have realized in a long
while for this valuable product. A
shortage of supply with the further
fact that such quantities Of seed were
lost early in the season by heating,
together with the ever-increasing de-
mand for seed, have combined to
boost values, and seed are now sell
ing in Americas at. prices around 500
per ton for small lots, and an even
better price for larger quantities.
At present prices the seed from
bale Of cotton are worth 81 to IS,
which added to $50 the finished bale
will bring now, represents a snug
sum to the farmer. Byereason of the
several oil mills here, Americas is a
great market for cottonseed, which are
shipped here, many carloads daily,
from South Georgia and Alabama
towns.

! WORKED TO
DODGE TAXES
SLICK ARTIST down IN IRWIN
Take Advantage Of Law to
Beat the State
(Ocilla Starr

There are some people in Irwin
county and probably in other coun-
ties who have learned the subtle art
of tax lodging. Not. of course, the
one one thinks of when the subject is
first mentioned, by failing to give in
their property for taxation at the
right value, but by far more round
about, but equally effective man
ner.
Here is the secret. And it is kept
a secret, too. A man owns a farm,
city home, a store building or what
ever you will. He gives it in for tax
alton. The taxes are assessed. He
fails to pay. A fl ia is issued against
him by the tax collector. The fl ia
is turned over to the sheriff Upon
the continued failure of the property
owner to pay the tax, his property is
advertised for sale. The sale takes
risk in buying such property for a
tax deed is not very good. 1t is
hedged about by so many conditions
So the property is knocked off to the
highest bidder, for a few dollars, not
half the amount of the taxes. to say
nothing of the cost of the officers who
have handled the matter The sheriff
has done all he can do to collect the
county's money.
Then what? The original owner
takes his own good time up to II
months to pay the purchaser at the
sale the amount he paid, plus a GER
tain per cent. for his investment. 1t
makes no difference that the tax as
sessed against this property is $4,000
and that it cost the property owner
less than $4,000 to redeem it. The
property is his again and by as clear
a title as he ever had He has saved
$3.50 on his taxes in perfectly legal
way,
This is not a theory. Such a pro-
cedure takes place every year. No
publicity is given to it even by a
grand jury that is notorious for the
way it uncovers short comings in a
good many
There is a way for he county to
protect itself But the county hard
ly ever does it. That is for the coun-
ty commissioners to be present at
these tax sales and bid in the property
up to the value of the taxes. Then,
if this were done, the delinquent would
have to pay the full amount of his
taxes, and the additional 20 per cent.
There is the remedy Why is it
not applied?

PETTY CASES

HIGH COURTS
PRINCIPLES ARE INVOLVED
PerpIexing Questions Arise
From Small Things

Washington, Nov 2f.-From small
beginnings have arisen some of the
most perplexing questions to be pass
ed on by the supreme court.
Thomas w. McComb had splendid
luck duck hunting in PENNSYLVANIA.
He was prosecuted for using an au-
tomato gun. In defense he attacked
the constitutionality of the Pennsyl-
vania law against the use of that
type of weapon.
Matthias Schmidinger, Chicago
baker, is said to have made his
loaves of bread trife too small one
day and was fined 5000 for violating
city ordinance. He will ask the su-
preme court to declare the ordinance
violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution.
Mary F. Butts, negress, of Everett,
Mass, thought she did not receive the
treatment to which her ticket entitled
her on a vacation trip by water from
Boston to Baltimore. She will ask
the supreme court to decide that the
old civil rights act" of 1875, prev
iously held unconstitutional, is con-
stitutional and in full force

ed whether there is distinction be-

Whether the government must pay
for the forage of two horses for the
late Major Nathaniel H. Mclean, of
Cincinnati and for two servants, is
involved in another case. The horses
and servants were employed after he
retired from the army and before he
was reinstated by act of congress.
The shipment of wedding ring by
Edward H. Croninger, jeweler, OF
Cincinnati, to Atlanta, precipitated a
case which will determine whether
express companies, since the passage
of the Hepburn rate law, may limit
their liability for loss of articles.
Whether the back of bay-window
