8 WAYS To RUN
CITY SUGGESTED
Only Two Speakers at Cham
Der of Commerce Dinner Fa-
vor Proposed Tax Raise.

If nine of the leading political and
business men of Atlanta were given
free rein with the city government at
the same time there would be eight
different systems of business manage
ment. That fact was demonstrated last
night at the Chamber of Commerce
dinner. held to discuss Atlanta's finan-
cial problem. Only two Of the nine
speakers believed in raising the tax
rate 1-2 per cent. Each of the other
seven had a remedy indorsed by him.
self alone.
Judge John S. Gambler and Alex w.
Smith advocated the tax rate increase:
Eugene R, Black believes in greater
efficiency among city employees; Judge
HilIyer believes in indiscriminatng ap-
portionment of funds; F. A. Quillian
wants the tax rate increased, the as
sessments lowered, so as to stop pay
ing so much to the state; E. V. Car
ter advocated a special school tax;
General A. j. West wants commission
government, and V. H Kriegshaber be-
lieves in civil service examinations for
city employees
1t is doubtful If a more representa-
tive body Of men could be assembled
than that at the dinner last night ana
1t is certain that a no wider diversity
of opinion could exist among the lead
ers of Atlanta as to the solution of
Atlsnta's financial problem.
Judge Gambler opened the argument
by detailing what Atlanta needs.
What are you going to do about it,"
he asked as he sat down. Some of the
things Atlanta urgently needs, he said,
are three fire stations, more police
men, improvements for hospitals, more
schools and teachers, more sewers. bet
ter streets, bridges, cyclorama, audito-
rum improvements and other things ne
said he could barely mention
Eugene r, Black, in answering judge
Gambler, advocated q bond issue when
more money is needed by the city. but
declared that the burden upon the peo-
pie is as great as they can bear. "A
maximum income and minimum eff
cheney" was the way he characterized
the situation.
The other speakers all advocated inn

streets, but each developed some new
need of the city until at last it seemed
that Atlanta should be wiped out and
made all over again. More than 300
citizens were present and all believed
that the meeting would mark new
era in civic advancement. President
Wilmer l.. Moore, of the Chamber of
Commerce, presided.

PRESIDENT TAFT IS BACK IN BEVERLY Has Only Two Weeks More of Vacation
 Left

Beverly. Mass, october T-President Taft got back to the city today after an absence of almost two weeks. He has before him the prospect of only two weeks more vaction in Beverly, and, a1- though much of his time here will be de- voted to work or conferences with im- portant visitors. he will spend as many hours in play as heretofore.
 According to present plans the summer White House will be closed November l, and the White House in Washington opened again about November 8, before Mir Taft takes up active work in Wash ing again, however. he will keep at least two engagements, one in Canl- bridge Springs, Pa, on October 26. the other in Newark. N. J.; November 2. With these exceptions he will stick pretty close to parramatta, the n1yopia golf links and the White House automobile.
 The President himself probably will not reach Washington until few days after election. He will go to Cincinnati after keeping hls Newark engagement and will stay there until after the voting.
 Mrs Taft probably will open the White House before going to Cincinnati to join the President election night.
 Monday night he will attend a private performance at local moving picture theatre to see pictures taken of him and Mrs. Taft the day they arrived at Beverly last July Pictures of Robert and Helen Taft also will be shown.
 The President came to Beverly today from Worcester, Mass. He worked for several hours and then motored to Myopia to play golf.

London, October 1s.--The outbreak in the Balkans has come. Yesterday Turkey declared war against Servia and Bulgaria The declaration was followed by the formal declaration of war by Servia. The decree scf King Ferdinand <f Bulgaria T'c'airaipg 2 war will be published in Sofia today.
 Greece declared war this morning, unwilling to break the Balkan accord. Hostilities have already opened on the Bulgarian and Servian frontier.
 While Turkey and the Balkan states are carrying out the last formalities connected with the declaration of war, interest has been transferred to the prospects of the campaign. Two influences are expected to make the war short and sharp. The first is the approach of winter; the second is financial pressure. None of the Balkan states are in a position to stand the strain of prolonged military operations.
 Money Is Scarce
 Bulgaria was disappointed recently in trying to raise even small loan in Paris, while Turkey has been en- deavoring both in New York and Paris to borrow money, but up to the present without success. The financial resources of the other states con- cerned are very limited. Little is

 The war is expected to develop into a lard cs sa,pRign-- bafweenl- Bulgaria. and Turkey and a naval struggle between Turkey and Greece It Is believed Turkey will concentrate her strength and attack the Bulgarians separately before the Ser yians can come to their aid. Much will depend upon whether Turkey gains com mand of the sea. which would facilitate transportation of her Asiatic troops to the heart of the war.
 Little Is known as to how far the al- lied Balkan states have concerted their strategic plans. The independent action of Montenegro seems to indicate that q settled course is being followed.
 Greece Declares War
 Athens, October 1S.--(2.30 A. M)--Greece, not wishing to detach herself from her allies, sent instructions early this morn ing to the minister at Constantinople to communicate a declaration of war to the porte. Greece at the same time sent a fraternal greeting to the allied states.
 Servia was the first Of the three states to declare war last night. Bulgaria fol- lowed with similar declaration.
 There is great jubilation over what Is described as the miraculous feat of the two gunboats in entering the Gulf of Arta and reaching Nonitza in safety. Un-
