COTTON TARIFF A
MESS, SAYS
. EXPERT
R. X. MacLea Writes 0'Gorman
Lobby Cry Drove Honest Bust
ness Men Away,

NEW YORK, June 26-Robert L.
MacLea, associate editor Of Dry
Goods and formerly consulting ex-
pert OF the Tariff Board, has sent
TO United States Senator James a.
O'Gorman a letter in which he criti-
cised the cotton changes in the Tn
derwood tariff bill made by the SEN
ate committee and declared that the
subcommittee in making them has
been misled by its experts, as
feared likely"
Mr.. MacIsea has had % years ex-
perience in all branches Of the cot
ton trade and his plain talk to Sena-
Tor O'Gorman will IT is believed, at
tract much attention at Washington.
In the letter he says:
Il was greatly surprised to read
the changes made by the Senate FL
nance Committee, and while l realize
that attempts have been made pre-
Sumably to eradicate some Of the
evils Of the Underwood bin in regard
TO cotton manufactures. they have
TO my mind in reality made worse
mess of Il than I could have lmag-
ined possible.
Says Business Men Will Protest.
There is no excuse for disCredlt-
iLg the cost accounting shown in the
tariff board report on Schedule l.
] know that Mr. Patton, one Of the
experts relied upon by the Senate
sub committee, has rejected its facts,
for he told me so recently, stating
that Il was not worth anything TO
him and that he cared nothing for it.
i am sure that when the business
men appreciate this situation, they
will be heard from In no unmistak-
able voice. They viii understand il
in the course Of a year certainly.
There is no reason why a proper
cotton and yarn schedule should not
have been formulated and ! wish to
protest vigorously against the enact
ment into law OF the Senate amend
ments without further adequate
changes TO properly correct the over
sight OF the House OF Representa-
tives' measure as passed by them and
the additional oversights Of the Sen
ate sub committee
Business Men Driven Away.
Many honest business men have
lately turned away from Washington
by the lobby insinuations; yet in
one Of President Wilson's most notd-
BILE speeches before he took Office he
appealed TO the honest business men
OF the United States to help him
with legislation.
Hundreds in the cotton industry
had'accepted the invitation and after
depending upon a correct lnterpre-
tation OF facts by the House OF Rep
resentatives found that recommended
tions with proofs had in many ways
been ignored. They have since been
driven away from Washington in
their further honest efforts to point
out errors made"

Major Hunter. approached from the
heavily wooded land side, but was
held at bay by the Orange outpost

Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four
Square Guarantee From All
Drug Stores.

When an article is sold a drug
gist who is willing to give It his
personal guarantee, it's a mighty
strong proof Of real merit.
That's exactly the case with
Dodson's Liver Tone. II is a pleas
ant tasting. vegetable remedy for
a slow and sluggish liver. Since
Dodson's Liver Tone came on the
market the sale of calomel has
gone way down. The reason 10

All druggists sell Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantee it. For you
and for your children it's a good
thing TO keep a bottle always in
the house.
All dealers win give you your
money back If you think Dodson's
Liver Tone is not worth the price

friends insist upon keeping in very
close touch with him.
To-day and tomorrow will be his
last days as Chief Magistrate, for by
Saturday morning, when his success
sor viii be inaugurated, he will have
everything in shipshape for the new
Governor
II may be taken as a certainty that
the Governor will not retire absolute
ly from sight politically, although il
undoubtedly is his purpose to refrain
from meddling in the new Governors
business. if he might.
Governor Brown and Governor elect

ing. The new Administration viii
have no more earnest well wisher
than the present Executive
House bill No. l this year is IN. by
Mr. Cole. Of Barlow, and proposes a
graduated inheritance tax for Geor-
gia.
House bill No. in the last Leg
lslature was the famous "Tippins
bin OF fragrant recollection, which
had the stormiest career Of any
measure introduced
II weathered the gales in both the
House and the Senate, only to go to
wreck eventually on the rocks Of an
executive veto
House bill No this year seems
destined to a kinder fate The inner
itance tax idea Is popular in the
Legislature and the chances that
such a measure may become the law
are exceedingly bright
Mr. Cole has this bill very much at
heart, and viii leave no stone un

Cole. by the way, is one Of the
younger members of the House sure
to take a high stand among his col
leagues. He Is well on the sunny
side of 30. and is one OF the most
successful business men In North
Georgia. He started his career some
ten years ago with something like
Sl.35 capital. and to- day he is worth

age, and he is progressing every day.
All that he has has been accumulated
by hard work and sticking everlast-
ingly at it--he never stops on a Job

Cole has made a deep study of in

Your Aid Is Needed
to Save the Babies

Hundreds of poor babies are
suffering in Atlanta today, insult
ficiently and improperly nOur-
ished. Hundreds of them will die
during the torrid months of July
and August unless something IS
done for them.
The Mothers Congress of At
lanta has undertaken to save at
least one hundred of these babies
whose parents are too poor to pro-
vide them with proper food and
nourishment by supplying each
baby with a quart of pure, fresh
milk each day They are calling
on one hundred citizens of At
lanta for aid, asking them to each
furnish one quart of milk each
day.

one little life and make one home

In these parlous times Of political
maneuveTing, wherein one must be
both as wise as serpent and as
harmless as dove. politicians Of
more or less caliber, who never yet
have ventured very far from shore,
will do well 10 learn one lesson from
the cases Of ]. Randolph Anderson,
President Of the Georgia Senate. and
William II. Burweil. Speaker Of the
House.
Neither man won his fight by way
Of mere personal popularity alone.
albeit each has many warm friends
and stout-hcaTted supporters.
The gentleman who put over both
Anderson and Allen Is none other than
our venerated and esteemed fellow
citizen, Old Man Hard Work!
Anderson and BurweIl have been
tireess in their efforts to succeed IN
their undertakings. Both men have
lived their races for months. Ander-
son and Burwell were at It hammer
and tongs while some Of their oppo-
nents were seeking membership in the
Don't Worry Club.
Politics, unlike kissing, rarely goes
by favor. They that seek find. If
they seek diligently enough-or. al
least, they that 90 not seek rarely
find.
Anderson and Burwell both are ex-
perienced legislators. Each has
served long and active term Of serv-
ice. Both are first class parliament
taTians, both good speakers and are
both fine diplomats. Neither should
in any manner fall down on his
job" and it isn't at all likely that
either will
There is particularly fine and
friendly feeling among members OF
both Houses, and the chances are
that Georgia has on its hands at last
a Legislature that will be able to pro-
coed to its work free from partisan
bias or internal feuds.
That's saying a good deal-but II
looks as II the saying is warranted
Hon. o. X. Jones one Of Lowndes
County's representatives.. and a strong
believer in tax equalization or re-
form will introduce a bin in the
Legislature providing for the ap-
pointment OF a board Of three tax
assessors for every Georgia county.
Mr.. Jones believes that valuations
can be raised rs per cent without
working any hardShips, and the
State pulled out of the financial bog
within year, by the work OF com
petent and conscientious assessors.
There is no question that millions Of
dollars OF taxable property is never
returned. The uncovering of this
property would within itself mate
rally increase revenues. Representa-
tive Jones says:
ITO make the proposed boards Of
real benefit. the members should be
appointed and their tenure Of office
entirely Independent of public sun
rage. Many a tax receiver has beaten
himself by a conscientious and zeal
Gus effort to secure just tax returns
In his county, and II takes a pretty
brave officer to persist In a course,
however right. which he knows win
beat him at the polls. That danger IS
removed when the assessors are made
appointive."

swamped with callers to-day and
