SUFFRAGE WON IN
AUSTRIA BY SANE
MEANS, NOT BRICKS

DR.. George H. Cowles, who speaks to-
night at the First Methodist church in
Peachtree street, has an interesting ex-
plantation of the success of woman
suffrage in Australia, a subject upon
which he is familiar. He declared to-
day that women in that island-empire
and in New Zealand do not attempt to
mix politics and the ballot, as they seek
no offices and vote purely from ethical
reasons on questions of moment to the
public.
when the women asked for the
ballot several years ago" said DR..
Cowles, they made a sane and logi-
cal request, and accompanied 1t with
no demonstration of undertaking or
anarchy. They said they desired to
vote, but not to hold office in parlia-
ment or municipalities The vote
was granted and the country is far
better off"

Personal Tax on Life
Insurance No Longer
Assessed in Atlanta
Action often Caused Interest and
Taxes To Be Paid on
Borrowed Money.

Life Insurance no longer is included
in the schedule of taxable personal as
sets for city taxes This elimination
was made recently on d showing of an
insurance committee, which charged
that a tax on life insurance was unfair,
and successfully upheld the contention
An example Of how it worked IS given
by a widely known business man.
While giving in" his taxes at the
city hall he was asked the amount OF
his life insurance.
Twenty two thousand dollars" was
his response.
How much can you borrow on that
Nothing"
How so?"
I've borrowed all I can on it. l can
get no more"
How much have you borrowed? ,"
Five thousand dollars"
You will be taxed on $4,000 life in
surance," was the dictum Of the asses
sor.
DO you mean to say that must pay
interest on the borrowed money, and
taxes on the same funds?"
That's the case" responded the Of
fetal.
And so it stood until protest was
made. Those who made returns Of theil
life insurance before it was eliminated
will not suffer, for this will be stricken
from their schedules.
