TAX REVISION IS
URGED To PAY
TEACHERS
Men to Head Committees in the
House and Senate Favor It.
All See Need Of Action.

With sentiment in Senate and
House virtually unanimous that some
system must be devised to provide
for the prompt payment OF the coun-
try school teachers, the States most
neglected employees Indications are
that the matter will receive early
consideration.
The relief Of the teachers, lobby
gossip has IL, will not come in any
way but by tax revision, and il is
generally understood legislators who
are foremost In urging that the
teachers be paid are bending their
energies to obtain an early consider
alton of the tax revision measure.
The brunt of the work OF shaping
measures to revise the tax system,
and incidentally to pay the teachers
falls upon the chairman Of the House
Ways and Means Committee and the
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
1t is said that the men slated for
these positions, Representative L. r.
Akin and Senator b. S. Miller, heart
lily favor some arrangement whereby
the teachers can be paid, and are
willing to increase the tax rate to get
the money
representative Akin is consistent
advocate OF a plan to pay the teach
ers each year upon the completion Of
their work instead of forcing them to
wait six and eight months. He de-
clares the depleted treasury. which
makes 1t impossible to handle the
States financial affairs, is a direct
result of Georgia's unsatisfactory tax
system.
Though sentiment is in favor Of a
plan to pay the teachers. Represen-
tatives and Senators differ on the
method Three plans have been adj
vanced. They will be threshed out
and the best parts OF each embodied
In a bill.
Many members think the necessary
procedure Is TO revise the tax system
far enough to force property owners
to make a fair return of their prop
erty; others are willing that the tax
rate should be increased temporarily
until the arrears Of the teachers have
been paid, and others maintain that
relief will better come by cutting
down appropriations and putting the
teachers ahead of the other employees
OF the State.

DEWEY DEMANDS
NEXT To
ENGLAND'S
'Inadequacy Is an Invitation to
War;" Declares Admiral, Urg-
ing More Ships.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-An ade-
quate American navy means a fleet
second only to that of Great Britain,
and ''inadequacy is an invitation to
war" is The opinion OF Admiral Dew
ey, ranking naval officer of the United
States.
Il believe it is the duty of each
generation to pay it's own insurance
and not to thrust its burdens on the
generations that come after; and the
insurance for peace is a navy strong
enough TO compe, It," says the Ad-
miral in an article written for the
program for Navy Day at Newport.
July 2. and just made public.
The only function and justification
for the existence of a nevy is the
preservation of peace. To perform
this function the lazy must be ade-
quate and, though so much discussed
in these recent times, the word ade-
quate,' as applied to the navy, has
but one meaning, and that is an 'ade-
quate navy is a navy of g strength
sufficient to meet and defeat any
probable enemy.
Must Pay Penalty.
This strength is not absolute, but
relative, and varies from period to
period as the other naval powers of
the world vary their naval strengths.
at the present period adequacy on
our part calls for a navy second to
that of England only.
I'VE, ourselves, through lack of
our fathers and grandfathers, paid
the penalty of our generation in the
loss of hundreds of thousands of lives,
and our sons and grandsons have
been paying the costs of the billions
of dollars wasted and the hundreds
Of millions of pensions for which
they we're mortgaged; and they still
continue - pay.
Mortsaged by War.
We are paying to-day for the
navy. as an insurance which does not
insure US, ROUGHLY $3.50 per capita
per annum. Besides what has already
been paid In lives and money. we are
still mortgaged, by lack OF foresight
in our fathers, to the extent of the
national debt and the additional $3.50
per capita per annum that we are
paying in pensions"

ROW
NOW MENACES
CITY HEALTH
Dump Piles Grow While Mayor
and Council Disagree Over
Contract for Plant.

The crematory controversy Friday
ties into a menace to the health of the
city. Unless some compromise is eff
fected, the plant, which will be ready
to operate within ten days. will stand
idle indefinitely. while the disease
breeding dump piles all around the
city win grow larger and larger.
Declaring that no further negotia-
tons with Mayor Woodward would be
attempted, George E. Spence, attorney
for the Destructor Company, said the
city would not be given possession of
the plant until the first S125,0O0 is
paid. II Mayor Woodward does not
give in. the Destructor Company will
have to mandamus him to get their
check, and 1t might be a matter of
months before the courts would settle
the matter.
Still dissatisfied with the contract,
Mayor Woodward has agreed TO sign
contract drawn by three of the fol-
lowing six lawyers: Luther z. Ros-
ser, Charles T. Hopkins, Alex King,
Judge W. r. Hammond, E. v. Carter
and T. P. Westmoreland. He said he
was willing for the Destructor Com
pany attorneys to select the three.
Council and the Mayor are agreed
as to the price of the contract. $780,
900. They are at loggerheads only
over a few technicalities in the plan
of executing the contract, not even
the contract itself being a cause Of
disagreement. The Mayor declares
the proceedings have been frFegula:
and that some side resolutions have
been passed referring to the old illegal
contract which make the whole thing
illegal.
In the meanwhile, citizens are COM
planning bitterly about the dump pile
nuisance. Numbers daily call on the
Mayor and the sanitary department
for relief. After an inspection of the
incinerator Thursday by a number of
city officials, it was announced that
the plant would be ready for opera
ton within ten days IL the controver-
sy could only be settled.

LOOK TO FAIR FUTURE
BUSINESS MEN OF THE COUNTRY
REMAIN OPTIMISTIC.
Tariff Bill viii Be Accepted, Though
1t Would Have Been Wiser to
Have Put It In the Hands of
the Progressives.

President Wilson recently stated, in
answer to questions, that he had per
sonally heard of very few threats to
close down mills or reduce wages.
While some of the Democrats have
acted upon the assumption that such
threats would be made, and talked OF
reprisals by the government. the fact
is that the manufacturers and busi-
ness men of the country, for more
than year, have been preaching the
gospel of optimism.
The presidents statement needs no
corroboration. No threats are being
made and none is likely to be made
The manufacturers and business men
are using legitimate arguments to pre-
vail upon the senate to modify the
tariff program, but otherwise are do
ing all in their power to inspire conf
dence throughout the country.
Nearly all the big merchants have
instructed their travelling statesmen to
cheer up" They realize that the
tariff issue will not be decided either
by the threats of manufacturers or the
talk of Jail on the part of members
of congress. The people of the United
States are naturally optimistic NThey
seldom complain before they are hurt.
They have enthusiastic confidence in
the future of the country.
1t is but fair, however, that the busi-
ness interests should have some say
about the making Of the tariff bill. 1t
is the business interests that must pay
the wages of the workingmen. Con-
gress can take away the protection of
the manufacturer, but cannot pay the
wages of the employees.
There has been great deal of talk
about legislating for the consumer.
The consumer, however, is not an indi-
vidual or class apart from all the
rest of mankind. Usually he is a bust.
ness man or the employe of business
man. Before he can buy, he must
have money. Congress, theoretically
/. can force manufacturers to reduce the
price Of what they sell in sfder to
meet the cheap labor competits IN from
abroad. but it cannot give the EN-.
ploye money with which to (buy the
necessaries OF life. That money must
come from the manufacturer and the
producer, and 1t might be we'll for the
senate to consult the producers aa
well as the consumers.
Threats on either side may cloud,
but will not change the economic ques-
tions involved No matter what the
result may be. the people of theNcoun-
try are not going to pause.

In reply to a telegram from the
Commercial club of Moore. Mont. urg-
ing him to stand pat against free wool
and free sugar, Senator Myers of that
state announces that he expects to
stand pat-but for the people of the
state and not for any special interest.
That expresses concisely the differ
ence between the position of special
privilege and the square deal.
The wool and sugar interests of
Montana are looking for a continual,
tion of government aid to them at the
expense of all the people. But most
of the men and women of the state
are earning their living without rely

Meet and Hear From the
Various Sub-com-
mittees.

Washilgton.-A table prepared by
the Senate Finance Committee, show
ing comparative figures based on the
Underwood Tariff bill and the present
tariff law, shows the average ad
valorem rate in the proposed law to
be 3299 per cent, as against 43.64
per cent. under the Payne-Aldrich bill.
The estimated loss of revenue
through the augmented free list in the
on an import valuation of S102,534,-
466. Revenue under the proposed
bill, exclusive of the income tax, is
estimated at S266, ,130, as compared
with $304 4,216.694 under the present
rates. With the income tax revenue
estimated at approximately $80,000,-
900, the total revenue under the pro-
posed bill would aggregate about
$347 100000.
In the sundries schedule, wherein
the Democrats have added many arti-
cles not heretofore taxed or have in
creased rates on luxuries, the ad
valorem equivalent shows an increase
over the Payne-Aldrich rates from
24.72 per cent. to 1926, and the esti-
mated revenue from this schedule is
raised from s27,OOO,OOO to approx
inately $60,000.000.
Wool revenues, it is estimated, will
decrease from $17,OO0,OOO to s13,OO0,-
900. The sugar revenue would de-
crease from $6O.OO0.OOO at the rate Of
$40. 100000 year until sugar goes on
the free list in three years.
