We cou{1 nsme fifty men who have Ok
aired in Eistory or state who were either
deaf or blind. 1t is very unfortunate TO
be without sight or hearing Sarely every
man and woman would favor an institu-
ton of learning for all our youths Who
have theSoss OF one of these faculties,
an institution free from political ma
chinery Will Ire the instruction may be
given withYdt fear oil losing ones position
save through inefliciency.
When Governor Glasscock appointed
X. c. Montague to succeed Mr.. Rucker
the Romney institution had the poorest
standing among the deaf and blind
schools in the United States except North
Carolina, which stood at the bottom. Mr..
Montague used modern methods IN teach
ing and in his government, and tia,
school was coming in its own and al
loving parents Of children there felt proud
that West Virginia was giving their chill
dren more and more advantages in over
coming their defective hearing or eye
sight. Mr.. Glasscock wrote to Gallaudet
College, Washington, ID. c., asking for
advice and recommendation. His APP
pointment was an excellent one.
Now, Mr.. Hatfield makes change
there, with no reason but political. The
blind children should no longer be made
mere chattel for a few selfish politicians
to bargain away that they may enhance
their own political Standing This is not
criticism. but statement of the condi-
tons. Some day when your conscience
will allow reflection, You will walk the

CROSS INCOME
UP S142,740
But Net Profit, Says Arkwright,
Is Less Because Of Improve
ments-City Tax $83,554.

Accompanying it's check for s35,
941.75 as income tax to the city, the
Georgia Railway and Power Compa
ny Saturday filed statement with
City Clerk Walter Taylor showing
that its gross income from all sources
within a radius of seven miles from
Atlanta showed an increase over 1912
of $142,740.41. The gross income for
1918 was s4,177,7O9.54
The income tax to the city. 2 per
dent on the gross income of the COM
pany. shows a decrease from 1912,
because license and franchise taxes
come. license and franchise tax paid
to the city for 1918 is $S3,55419, while
for 1912 it was $SO,6993S, an increase
of S2,S54S1
While the income tax is constantly
increasing, the franchise tax is grow
ing more rapidly. and it is conceiva-
BILE that some day the franchise tax
would balance the income tax, there
by aboiishing it to all intents and
purposes.
Item Raises Protest.
Tax Receiver George Beauchamp
protested against receiving the check
because an item of $525 for license
for steam heat was deducted from
the income tax. The protest will be
presented to Council
. IL
the Georgia Railway and Power
Company, said that the net income
of the company showed decrease for
1913, although the gross income and
taxes showed a big increase He at
tributed the increase in maintenance
cost to many improvements.
Arkwrisht Explains Figures.
Mir. ArhWright went into some IN
teresting details about the taxes of his
company, seeking to combat. he said,
the popular fallacy that the people got
nothing from the earnings of the cor
poration
Altogether. under he mead of taxes
proper, we paid s436.O95.S9," he said.
In addition. we paid out approXi-
mately $4,000 for street paving and
rides to city policemen and inspec-
tors.
The item of taxes proper Is an
increase Of $50, 997,47 over 1912.
Il am positive in stating that it is
more taxes in proportion to the gross
