from 81, 800 to $1,000 each, for rend-
ering occasional services that do not
seriously interfere with their private
business. Even the Assessor, who is
required I to give but one months
service in the year, receives more
compensation than the Mayor, who
is always on duty; or the Clerk who
is required to furnish stenographer
at his own expense for the executive
Office; or the Treasurer, who collects
nearly one-third of the revenues of
the city without cost and disburses
all of them through thousands of
checks, executes a heavy bond and is

The proposed ordinance not only
continues these inequalities, but at

of the Scripture prophecy which says:
"For whatsoever hath, to him shall
be given, and he shall have more
abundance.

To increase the salaries of these

EX-RAILWAY CASHIER
JAILED AT VALDOSTA
FOR ENLIGHTENMENT

NALDOSTA GA. Jan. 31.-W. II.
Truehart formerly cashier of the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida railroad in
this city, is under arerst on a charge
of having embezzled funds belonging to
the road. Truehart denies he was
short in his accounts. He claims not
to have used any of the roads money.
Truehart lost his position with the
road last July, mainly, it is stated, be-
cause he could not make a surety bond.
1t is claimed that $3.50 of the alleged
shortage was found when he checked
out, and that the remainder. which de-
velopcd later, was the amount of a
check Valdosta firm, Presley & Din
kins, gave the cashier for freight on a
car of beer, the road claiming that the
amount of this check was never turn
ed in.
An effort was made to secure True
harris release from Jail, but he was
unable to give the necessary bond. His
friends still hope to secure his free
dom pending trial Of the case.

charter at the election in September,

The majority of the board members
who would be legislated out of office if
the proposed charter were adopted are
bitter in their denunciations of the ac-
ton of the committee.
This element viii fight to prevent the
adoption of the charter by the commit

REVISERS OF TARIFF
SEARCH FREE LIST
FOR MORE REVENUE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Searching
for new sources of revenue, the house
ways and means committee today took
up the free list provision of the tariff
law to determine how many articles
might be transferred from that list to
the dutiable list to make up for posi-
BILE reductions in duties in other sched-
ules. There are hundreds of articles
coming in duty free, the bulk Of them
being raw products which can not be
produced in this country and which are
used in manufacturing processes.
In the Underwood chemical bill which
passed the house last year. there were
transferred from the free list to the
dutiable list articles with importation
value during the year 1911 Of $42,S37-
S87 and an estimated revenue value for
1912 of $3,464,065. The list covered
acids, aniline salts, indigo, flower es-
sence, almond oil, juniper, lavender
unground spices and many other sim
liar articles. Manufacturers, particu-
larry in the perfume industry com
planned that the committee. in raising
the duties on imported raw materials
reduced the rates on finished products.
thus giving foreign manufacturers an
unfair advantage.
Just how far the committee will go in
cutting down the present free list il

INAUGURAL TRIP
No JUNKET-NASH

Adjutant General ]. VanHolt Nash
today issued Il statement giving his
views on the plan to send the Fifth
regiment to the Inauguration at Wash
ington and correcting the impression
that a holiday for the soldier boys was
proposed.
Here is the adjutant generals state
ment:
Il look at this matter from a differ
ent viewpoint, possibly. than that of
the layman. However. | attribute the
apparent apathy on the part of the pub
lie generally to mistaken impression
that seems to have pervaded the dis
cussion and gone abroad as true-that
this proposed trip of the national guard
to Washington is to be nothing but a
holiday and junket got up by them for
their own benefit when, in fact, the
movement did not originate with the
guard, but with the merchants of this
city of ours, to advertise Atlanta be-
fore the nation.

them? They will be called upon to
make many personal sacrifices, to say
nothing of leaving their business inter-
ests and their families.
"They will be required to go under
the strictest military discipline. and,
upon arrival in Washington, parade
many miles, carrying heavy guns and
equipment possibly through sleet, rain,
slush and snow, returning to their home
stations Immediately after the inaugu-
raj ceremonies.
DO you call that fun? Well. I don't.
for | have tried it, and know whereof
| speak
Nov just a word concerning the ma
tional guard as an organization.
Every well informed citizen knows,
without further comment, the necessity
for and the usefulness of citizen SOL
diery, but very few stop to analyze the
motives or precepts of the command
and the inducements offered young men
to become members.
THE purpose Of the national guard
is to preserve law and order and pro-
tect life and property, that our citizens
may enjoy fully that freedom and safe
ty granted by the constitution of our
country. That they perform this duty
well is proved in the daily press re-
ports"
