Increase Of Benefits From
) Taxation in Georgia

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 3.-That
the benefits from taxation in
Georgia have increased out of all
proportion to the increase in the
taxes themselves, is set forth in
striking manner in a statement
now being prepared at the state
capitol, and which, in proper
form, will be set before the leg
islature by the incoming admin
istration.
The statement shows that thir-
ty years ago the sole expense OF
the state was for the mainten-
ance Of its courts, and the pay
ing Of salaries of the governor
and two or three state-house off
Gals.
Today Georgia expends by di-
rect appropriation over 81, 800, :
900 per year for public schools;
it pa! S 81, 100000 annually for
pensions; it provides the railroad
commission which controls the
Transportation charges in the
state and thereby saves millions
OF dollars to shippers and con-
samer. The state supplies the
people with a veterinary surgeon,
whose duty it is to stamp out dis
ease of cattle and live stock; it
supplies department of entomo-
logy; it maintains experiment
stations for practical demonstra-
tons and the conduct of expert
ments in farm work. It main
tains one of the finest systems OF
agricultural colleges in the world;
it sends instructors over the
state to teach young ladies the
process of canning; it supplies
normal schools; girls schools
where domistlc economy is
taught; it supplies one of the
finest chronological schools in the
country. The state provides for
the highest medical skill in
stamping out diseases, quaran-
timing epidemic and teaching the
people to prevent diseases. 1t
spends nearly SIS, 900, 900 annually
on roads. l. guarantees the peo-
pie in their financial enterprises
by supplyinGssexecutive officers to
investigate the banks, insurance
companies all similar corpora
tons. 1t supplies commissioner
of labor to investigate the rela-
lions of the workingman to the
economic conditions around him
and to suggest plans by which
the problems of this character
can be solved.
In addition, lands which sold
for fifty cents an acre 30 years
ago are now selling for $35 per
acre. Attractiveness and con-
venience of rural home life has
been increased a thousand fold.
The railroads, telegraph and tel
ephones have eliminated space,
and the good roads have render
ed accessibility easy. The state
of Georgia has progressed so
wonderfully along these lines
that there can be no retrogres-
sion. It has dune so at the lowest
possible expense, but such bless
ings must be paid for, and while
property is enhancing in value by
reason of the efforts of the state.
the taxes must be paid. In con-
sidering the financial questions
facing the state, it is understood
that Governor Slaton will oppose
any lessening of the helpful &C.
tivities Of Georgia. He believes
that the people do not de-
sire the lessening of the functions
of the state economically admin
istered, and it is an old principle
that g state, as we'll as an indi-
vidual, must pay for what it gets;
so the present advantages of cit
izenship cannot be maintained
without the requisite income.

ACCIDENTS WERE MANY
Autos and Teams In Acct
dents that Were Nearly
Serious to Many.

A series of accidents, more or
less serious, occurred this week
in and about the village.
Due to the heavy rains a slight
washout on a hill between the
the Shing-Guak En-Dot resort
and town was the cause of the
passenger car Of that resort get
ting stalled. The car stripped a
tire in the gully of the washout.
Tuesday the car ofAustin Bent
while making trip, frightened a
team at work on the county
highway below the dam causing
it to run away.
The same car a few miles this
side Of the dam plowed up several
feet of sand and narrowly missed
a telephone pole when the steer
ing gear became defective.
These accidents coupled with
the We'll and Smith mishaps Of
Sunday make the list a large one
for the few days.

The Milwaukee Journal in a re-

pared by w. II. Parsons, a staff

fight which the residents of Villas,
Oneida, Forest, Price and Iron

Griffith reforestration scheme.
Mr.. Parsons made a personal in
vestigation and his report in

with officials of the protesting
counties, among them being n.
M. EN- mons, chairman OF

The report presented nothing
that was a surprise. Mr.. Par
sons found that the people were
united in their efforts to protect
their property interests and to
block legislation which could re-
suit only in practical conhsca-
ton and "rejunglization'' of a
rich and rapidly developing ter
ritory. The article should make
the situation clear to those who
may have been in doubt.

fit isn't one scheme is anoth-
er that the forest reserve works
upon the uniformed public to
further reforestration of Villas
and portions of four other north
ern Wisconsin counties to the
tune of about a million and a
half acres.
The latest stunt Mr.. Griffith is
said to be pulling off to convince
the people of thestate of Wiscon-
sin that this northern section is
non-agricultursll land and only
fit for reforestration. is to send
out a photographer through
Villas county WHO'S taking views
of old abandoned clearings
around logging camps and cal
ling them farms which settlers
have abandoned on account of
inability to grow anything"
For the edification of the read
er it can be said that when lum-
bering was in its prime in this
region twenty or twenty-five
years ago, a tract of several
acres was broken up by the log
ging company at their summer
camps and seeded to timothy or
clover This furnished forage for
the oxen and horses during the
summer months, or while logging
operations were suspended.
For the past fifteen or twenty
years, or since logging opera
tons have been discontinued,
these woods pastures have run
out" on account of re-seeding.
These old camp meadows are
still to be seen as far south as
Merrill and to the agriculluralist
are convincing enough to show
the richness of the soilin general.
Every old tote road. long since
disused (andhew highways, too)
are verdant with clover and tim
othy, furnishing mute evidence
of the productiveness of the soil
in general.
five err in stating who is be-
hind the photographers work,
we will apologize to Mr. Griffith,
otherwise it is to be regretted
that the forestry department
would stoop to such despicable
methods which contain NOT the
least bit of honesty in them.
Villas county's crops are excel
lent and every taxpayer hopes
that legislative investigation
will soon be made into soil and
crop conditions.

that two state experts are max

INJURED IN RUNAWAY
August We'll Thrown Out of
Buggy and Badly Hurt on
Return from Trips Sun
day-Smith Rig in Smash.

August We'll was badly bruised
and his wife miraculously unin-
lured when the buggy in which
they were returning from Sugar
Camp was overturned in the
brush Sunday afternoon. The
accident occurred but a short
way from the Indian settlement.
In going down a little incline
the whiffletree worked loose
and let the buggy run into the
horses. One of them kicked the
front of the rig into slivers and
the other turned off into the
brush overturning the rig. The
horses then broke away from the
overturned buggy and got away
damaging the harness. The
horses were caught at Kathan
lake, eight miles from the scene
of the accident.
Telephone messages brought
news of the accident to Eagle
River and aid was secured to
bring Mr.. We'll home. Fortu-
nately Mrs. We'll was barely
scratched when thrown out.
The extent of Mr.. Wells in
juries has not been learned yet.
He has been forced to keep his
bed since the accident.

to the selfish, the ignorant, the
dishonest or the irresponsible, we
are going to have bad government;
il good citizens participate in poll

government. There are very many
more good citizens than bad citi.

his patriotic part, by taking an
interest in politics we would never

Upon government, first and last,
depends the happiness, the peace
and the welfare of the citizen of
today and of tomorrow. Il good

upon the character of the politics
of which it is the product.

burn, sixfoot 25year-old farm
hand, is placed on trial for his life
at Grays in the Jones County Su-
perior Court tomorrow, he will plead
that in killing his former employer,
James King. he acted under the hyp-

King, his victims wife
Il am going to show the jury" de-
clares Attorney John R. Cooper, that
just as Cleopatra fascinated so great
man as Anthony and caused him to
throw the world away. so did this wo-
man. the wife of another man, attract
and dominate a guileless and sus-
ceptible farm boy"
1t will be further pleaded that Mrs.
King had threatened Wilburn with
the loss of his own life If he did not
kill James King. Attorney Cooper's
only hope, as he frankly confesses. is
to save Wilburn's neck.
'If the jury will recommend him to
mercy l will be satisfied and Wilburn
ought to be-" said the attorney.
Attorney W. D. Mcneil, represent
ing Mrs. King, declares tina. he will
acquit the woman
"She was absolutely terriffsd by g
brutal farmer for whom she at one
time had an affection, unlawful
though 1t was" he says, "and only
because she was intimidated by
threats and violence, did she acqui-
esce to the killing of her husband"

years from 2 to 16, will be at her trial,
which will probably begin Saturday,
Only one of the children has been to
