Rare Books Coming
To This Country

London, Dec. 1.-Betram DobeIl
the well-known London BOOKSHELF
has sold by cable to the Library OF
Congress, Washington, his collection
of 1,500 privately printed books, and
pamphlets.
The collection represents the labor
OF nearly 40 years. The books deal
with poetry, history, romance, geneal-
ogy, typography, and hundreds of
other subjects.

Il made the statement advisedly, af.
ter careful investigation finding not
over one-seventh of the property value
of the state is on the tax digest. If al
of the property Of the state was put
on the digest where it properly be-
longs, and placed there at fair val
uation, the state of Georgia could pay
her debt next year and the tax rate
could be materially reduced. The eff
feet would be that the man who has
fairly borne his burden of taxation
would be greatly benefited. And while
the law aims to make the man who has
not borne his burden to now do so, but
even that man has no right to COM
plain. 1t is no hardship on a man to
require of him to do his duty. He
really ought to feel that it is privIl-
eye.

Conditions In South Georgia
Pleasing To Judge Hart

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. Judge Hart
was seen this morning in his office af-
ter visiting several sections of Geor-
gia the first of the week. He has re-
Gently visited several counties in
south Georgia, and is greatly pleased
over conditions generally as he saw
them. He is especially gratifed over
the farming conditions
This year, he said, has been remu-
nerative one from the standpoint Of
farming, and especially the Georgia
farmer. The farmers of Georgia have
been blessed with, perhaps, better
than an average cotton crop, for which
they are getting fairly remunerative
prices; and the unusual season has
made it possible to gather the crop in
the best condition. The corn crop is
an excellent one, and altogether the
farming operations have been success
full South Georgia it appears is in
| splendid condition
Il have made a number of speeches
explaining the equalization tax law,
and l have the first man yet to see
who opposes it after he understands
the scope and meaning of the law"
said Judge Hart
Urges Good Assessors.
LAS l stated the morning l first saw
the law, its success or failure de-
ponds upon the class Of men appointed
as local assessors and equalizers. That
conclusion is deepened as l have stud
led the act. l have stressed this
point wherever 1 have spoken, and
Judge from the class of men that are
being appointed that the county COM
missioners are impressed with that
truth. The press of the state likewise
realize the necessity of having the best
of men appointed to this office; anc
this feature has been stressed and en-
phasized as no other feature of the
law. They should be men of the
highest character.
Has Great Possibilities.
IF the law is properly administered
instead of its increasing the burden OF
taxation it will lower it on the man
who has been doing even approximate
ly his duty. AS it known, or at least
should be known by every one, the
state cannot raise it's rate; for since
the year 1907 it has been levying the
full constitutional rate, to-wit, mills.
The state can levy no additional tax,
and this rate has not raised sufficient
revenue to pay the states current ex.
penses. The deficit has grown until it
has reached a million dollars and over.
IL other words, the rate and the VOL
ume of property taxed has proved in
adequate to raise the necessary money
to conduct the business of the state
and to meet its appropriations.

The Low Tax Rate.

1.-THE citizen who decries his proper
ty when he returns it for taxation does
the state an injustice, his neighbor a
wrong, and himself a wrong. FAR
valuation of property with low tax
rate is infinitely preferable to a low
valuation of property and a high taz
rate. The new law is designed to
place upon the tax digest all of the
property of the state, and then as
amongst the taxpayers to equalize
property values relatively; so tina.
each man carries his exact burden
This is the essence of justice
Taxes Always Burden.
Il have spoken OF taxes as burden
There are certain taxes laid which
with greater propriety might be called
an investment. A man worth $1,00J
could not be required by the state to
pay more than IS. For this S. his
home is protected, his family and he
are protected in the enjoyment of life
liberty and property. He may be the
father of half dozen children, and
they are sent to school from fve &C
eight months in the year. Now what
IS has any man ever invested for
which he receives so much in re
turn?"

SHADE TREES

A number OF Carsonites are not
waiting for Arbor Day, but are get
ting busy planting trees about their
home places. Carson is noted as the
valley of trees and shrubs Probably
more fine specimens of poplars exist
in this small valley than any other
place on the coast The fact that the
owners take this matter up every
spring accounts for the results.
Among those who are busy in the
planting line is George Sanford, who

Woodfords in Alpine County, last
Monday by being caught in a snow
slide. The boy had gone hunting and
when he did not return to his camp
toward evening. the Indians. fearing
that he had met with an accident of

About 10 o'clock that night his gun
was found on the mountain side
where they tracked him through the

It was seen that slide had occur

mountain to where the snow had been

DONATIONS
COMING IN
FOR OHIO
Carson Eagles Head
List With $1OO

Donations and contributions came
in to-day for the Ohio Valley flood
sufferers. Early this morning the
Carson Aerie of Eagles held meet
ing and decided to contribute SlO0 10
the relief fund. The matter was
quickly adjusted and the money went
out by telegram before the noon
hours 1t is probably the first lodge
in Nevada to get quick action and
land the coin where it is needed. The
Carson lodge deserves much credit
for this rapid work.
The call issued late yesterday after
noon for donations Of vegetables and
other food stuffs was responded to
and this morning a considerable guam
titv OF vegetables had been placed at
the disposal of the railroad ready for
sipment. As soon as a carload can
be finished the car will be forwarded
without delay to the flood section.
Money continues to be handed to
the Governor for the Red Cross work
and it is safe to state that Carson
will do its share toward relief work.
From all appearances the rest of the
Union is responding most freely. It
will not be lack OF money that will
hinder the repairs and wipe out the
evidence of the floods.
There is plenty of room for more
donations in the line of money and
food stuffs. 1t will all be applied to
the needy and will be used by people
who absolutely can place the funds to
the hest advantage.

At present half dozen electric
pumping plants are being set up and
there is every reason to believe that
they will prove entirely efficient and
also cheaper in the end than long
ditch lines.
