GEORGIA RAPIDLY DEVELOPS
Some Facts Scarcely RealizabIe Have
Been Brought to Light BY COnsiI-
idatiOn OF States Tax DigeSts.

ATLANTA-With all of Georgia s
wonderful development this state
still possesses the advantages of the
old frontier as compared with
many very crowded and over popu-
lated sections of the country.
The consolidation of Georgia's tax
digest has brought to light at the
capitol some facts that are scarcely
realizeable. The digest shows that
wild lands decreased nearly million
acres in extent during the last year
alone, and naturally increased mate
rally in value. Farm lands through
out Georgia increased both in acre
age and intrinsic value, The ad-
vance in values in Georgia is not linz
tied. howevr, to farm lands or to any
special group of interests. 1t applies
also to urban territories.
Town and city property was valued
a. two hundred and fifteen million,
six hundred and forty-nine thousand,
four hundred and ten dollars in
1911: in 1912 it was valued at two
hundred and thirty-two million, one
hundred and seventy-seyen thousand,
two hundred and eighty-fve dollars.

NEW YORK.-Democrati office

of condemnation, criticism and cuss-

put off until April 7, the date of the
beginning of the special session, but
rehearsals are being held in Wash
ington hotels and boarding houses

There never was an administration
since Andrew Jackson made his mem

repeated the utter disruption of the

The Red Book Responsible.
The hungry horde is here, for
which a worthy citizen of Perth Am

calls red book Of official positions
outside the civil service. Red it is;
fine CORY, resplendent crimson, en-
blazoned on its cover in huge black
letters: Pick out your job 1t

pages of close print the list of gov
eminent jobs open to the democrats
The Perth Amboy man has estimated
that as the book discloses more than
5000 fine jobs open to presidential
appointment and assuming that there
are twenty candidates for every job
he will make 100000 and spend
next winter at Palm Beach.
Wherever you go in Washington

gentlemen you will catch the radiant

The "See the Cabinet" Order,
When President Wilson came into
office the seekers after preferment

in a veritable mob. Mr.. Wilson met
them with his famous See the cab

The only man who really seemed to
enjoy this transfer was Secretary of

and fellow sufferers among the con-

Standing of the States.
Alabama and Arkansas are close
seconds to Georgia, with Tennessee
running third and Missouri fourth.
Indiana holds fifth place, and in close
sequence come Kentucky, Virginia
and Maryland. The other states are
punched in the rear of the race, New
England being the most notable lag
gard. The Pacific coast and other
areas where progressiveism ran ram
pant last fall are not furnishing full
quotas.
One Maryland congressman, who
has twenty-three third class post
offices in his district says he has had
21S applications for these twenty
three Jobs, a ratio of nearly ten to
one.

youth from Texas, by name John
