THE EXTRA SESSION
New York World.)

Stating his purpose to call the Six
ty-third Congress in extra session on
April /, President-elect Wilson recog-
n.zes a popular demand and difficult
situation.
If the programme involved nothing
more than registering the will of
dozen trusts, as was the case in 1897
and 1909, the meeting might have
been earlier. AS it is, he and his
party are charged with the duty not
revising the tariff downward but Of
reforming our whole scheme of nat
ional taxation. They are to address
themselves to wrongs that are almost
institutional They are to assume d
task in finance and economy greater
than was ever before imposed upon
an American Administration.
Their problem is the shifting Of
Tie burdens of government from those
least able to bear them to the ele-
ments which in the past have carried
few of them. 1t is to distribute taxa
ton justly. 1t is to do away so far .
is possible with the whole scheme Of
privilege by means of which powerful
interests, escaping taxation them
selves, have used the power of taxa
ton to Cypress the many.
In this reimbursement the imposition
Ct general income tax must of ne.
cessity receive the closest attention.
There can be no relief of the people
from the exactions of favored inter
ests, no reduction in the cost of living
no sharp separation of business AMI
government, unless Federal taxation
now by design confined chiefly to the
necessaries. shall be wisely transfer,
red to wealth, to property, to earn
ings.
The new Congress will not meet for
four weeks after Inauguration, but
these four weeks may be well spent by
the committees in preparation for a
reform that, once begun, should never
rest until it is complete.

CIVIC CLEANLINESS

Wnlle the LudIlCl Vi hlOi a N~4--
quency is receiving the attention of
the city authorities, the business Of
keeping the city clean in material
way should not be overlooked. Amer
ious needs a spring cleaning cam
paign that will enlist the support of
every household in the city.
other cities in Georgia, many Of
them much smaller than Americas
are instituting these campaigns, and
it would seem that it is high time
Americas should brush up, also. In
many cities days for spring cleaning
have already been named. Whp
should Americas be so callous and
so Indifferent as regards matter
that affects civic cleanliness SO vital
ly? Albany, for instance has already
named March 10 for a spring cleaning
and is preparing for it.
There is no better manner in which
the spring season could begin than il
thorough cleaning up of the prem
Uses of every house in the city. This
is a campaign for cleanliness and
comfort in which the aid of every
resident of the city should be en-
rolled. The city authorities stand
ready to give their aid, they an
nounce, if the housekeepers of the city
will take the initiative in the work.
In this regard the work that has al
ready been done and is still being
done by the Reese Park Civic I'M
provement club of young boys AMI
girls is a worthy one. Yesterday The
Times Recorder printed story de-
scribing this work. Mrs Estes tod
of how the boys and girls had become
interested and had taken upon them
selves the work of cleaning up Reese
Park and of making it decent and
attractive, a thing which the city un-
fortunately has never done Reese
Park should be one of the most at
tractive spots in the city, but it is
merely a trash dump for the refus,
from the High School building and
similar places, We are told.
What is the matter with the wo-
mems clubs of Americus? Is there NJ
club or organization of ladies who
will take up the matter of clean
ing up day for Americas and Sc.
that the thing is carried through IN
manner that will prove helpful tc
every resident of the city. Their
have been benefits and benefits, 81
many, that the people of the city
have grown tired of them, but here I:
task the right performance OF
which would benefit every resident OF
the city.
The matter of civic cleanliness, s
one that every citizen could rejoice in
from the humblest to the highest
1t comes home to the heart of every
one who makes his residence in Am
CIRCUS. Yet the matter is allowed ll
drag without the adequate support
and energetic management that woulJ
soon make it a success by enlistina
the support of the boys and the girls
and all the people of the city Let the
ladies of Americas champion this
worthy cause and bring about a con
dition of civic cleanliness of which tn
municipality will be proud.
