An Object Lesson from
Bureau County

Bureau county presents striking illustration of
how the saloon robs the taxpayer Bureau county is
composed Of eighteen dry townships and five wet
townships The wettest of these is Hall township in
which are located the cities of Spring Valley Laid
and Seatonvlle These three cities are Licensing
about eighty saloons. The sentiment of the county
indicated by the preponderance of dry townships is
Overwhelmingly against the saloon business. We get
the following figures from the records of the county
clerks report for 1911.
Taxes paid to the county from Hall
township, $6,137. Pauper expenses paid to
Hall township from Bureau county, $12,ooo
The farmers of Bureau county pay 50 per cent of
the county taxes Therefore, the farmers of Bureau
county paid $4,000 to Hall township to care for the
paupers of that township. These paupers are largely
the product of the eighty saloons of the township
We base this statement the evidence given by SUI
perintendents of poor farms throughout the country
No who has made study of the question seriously
disputes the fact that there close relationship be-
tween alcoholism and poverty.
Under the law the farmers and all Of the county
taxpayers who live in the eighteen dry townships of
Bureau county have no voice in saying whether the
eighty saloons in Hall township shall be licensed or
not. And to still further aggravate the case what
ever license money is derived from the saloons re-
mains within the boundaries of the incorporated cities
of Spring Valley Ladd and Seatonvile None of this
license money finds its way into the county treasury
This is surely fragrant of taxation without rep
resentaton. Considered purely from financial stand
point the saloons of Hall township in Bureau county
expensive luxury for that county. County local
option will give the people redress in cases like this

GOV. BROWN HANDS OFF
WILL TAKE NO PART IN THE
EXPERIMENT STATION ROW.
WOrsham and SOule Do Not Work in
Harmony. Things Are Somewhat
Warm at the Station.

ATLANTA.-Utterances by Gov
ernor Brown Monday indicate that he
does not intend to be drawn into
Experiment Station politics. The
governor stated that ne was dispos-
ed to leave the appointment of a
successor to DR.. A. NJ. Soule on the
board OF trustees of the station up
to Governor Slaton, who takes office
in June.
1t has been generally believed that
Governor Brown would not Teappoint
Dr.. Soule, but would name some 9th
er member of the faculty of the
State Agricultural College to succeed
him. DR.. Soule has been by virtue
of his position as president of the
State Agricultural College a mem
Der ex-officio of the Experiment Sta
ton board of trustees since 1907.
State Entomologist E. L. Wor-
sham, former commissioner of agri-
culture T. G. Hudson, and others are
reported to have opposed DR.. De-
ILoach's election Prof. Worsham
stated Monday morning that his fight
on DeLoach was in no sense a per
sonal one. Il understand that DR..
DeLoach was DR.. Soules candidate,
said Mr.. Worsham. "and feared he
would share DR.. Souie's views in re-
gard to cooperation with other state
departments"
Some of the others who would like
to see DR.. Soule left off the board OF
trustees of the experiment station
Justify their attitude by declaring
that DR.. Soule wishes to consolidate
all of the departments of the state
pertaining to agriculture and horti-
culture with the State College of Ag-
riculture at Athens. They assert that
he would like to have the experiment
station moved to Athens. Dr. Soule
has given out several statements re-
Gently in which he denied that he
was seeking to have the experiment
station moved, but these statements
have not stopped the reports.

SUFFRAGETTES
ARE PLANNING
Intend to Explode Their First Bomb
in Georgia at Coming Session of
the Legislature.

The suffragettes OF Georgia are
planning to explode their first bomb,
figuratively speaking, under the in
coming legislature this summer. 1t
is understood that they are secretly
having an equal suffrage bill prepar-
ed, and that they have obtained the
promise of two or three prominent
legislators to introduce it in the as
sembly and fight for it.
Will Force Them on Record.
No matter what happens to the
bill they propose that every member
of the house and senate shall be fore
ed to go on record for or against it.
Then the suffragettes plan, when the
next election comes, to take the
stump against the legislators who
vote against their measure.
If they carry out their present in
tention in that regard Georgia will
be the first Southern state to witness
political scenes such as those in Eng
land, where it is quite customary for
the women to make speeches in favor
of their husbands and friends who
are running for parliament.
1t is not believed, however, that
any great number of Georgia women
want the ballot.

Tax of $25, 900. The Towns in
Which They Are Located.
There are ffty-four locker clubs
doing business in Georgia, according
to reports made to Controller Gen
eral w. A. Wright by county tax col
lectors.
Locker clubs pay the state an an
nual license tax of $500, and this
has to be reported to the controller
general by the various county tax
collectors. While the reports from
the tax collectors only show fifty
four licensed locker clubs up to the
31st of March it is quite likely that
the number will exceed this. For
instance, Atlanta is reported with
only fourteen locker clubs while this
city had at one time twenty-three,
and now has about eighteen. The
reports show thirteen clubs in Au-
gusta, twelve in Macon, six in Savan-
