County Officers Exempt

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 21-Through
the persistent efforts of Governor
Slaton it has been definitely de-
termined that the bonds of state
and county officers in Georgia do
not require government war tax
stamps, despite the ruling of Col
lector BlaIock of Atlanta other
wise. The governor, who is a
firm believer in states rights,
doubted the authority of the col.
lector to impose the tax and by
going straight to headquarters
secured ruling in favor of the
states officials.
The following letter to the gov
ernor from w. H. Osborn, COM
missioner of internal revenue at
Washington, explains itself:
''His Excellency Governor John
M. Slaton, Atlanta, Ga.
II have the honor of acknowl-
edging the receipt of your letter
of the 10th instant in which you
inquire whether bonds given by
state and county officials guaran-
teeing the faithful performance of
their duties are subject to the
stamp tax under the act of October
%, 1914.
In reply you are informed that
the bonds given to state or coun-
tY by officers thereof, guarantee
ing the faithful performance of
their duties, are not subject to tax.
Respectfully,
w. H. Osborn,
commissioner"
The controversy started in Geor-
gia when a clerk in the executive
department called up the Office of
the internal revenue collector in
Atlanta and inquired whether
official bonds were liable to the
tax. He was informed that thew
were. The governor felt that the
tax was an unnecessary burden up
on county officers, and wrote a
letter to Washington to gain an
official ruling. Meanwhile the
governors office was flooded with
inquiries from ANXIOUS county
officials. They have been saved a
total of about one thousand dollars
by the ruling obtained by the
governor.

 The close of navigation this year caught the steamer Herman of the Northern Navigation fleet about a miles fros~ here The passengers were brought down and they man aged to catch the last ship for the outside, but the companies were un- able to transfer the baggage and ex- press. One man was to guard the gold. Fer a distance of 70 miles in all di- rections there was no human habi. tation aside from an occasional Eski. mo shack.
 The news filtered back to Mar shall City, the supply base for the new goldfield, but unlike an outside community there was no stealthy planning to gain possession of the gold. there was no attempt tc get a single speck of the metal, although there were pokes and pokes cram full of nuggets and dust.
 After a months storage in the iso' lated cache, the gol4 was freighted here by dog teams. arriving yester- day, When the trails are in good condition the gold will be started on a 2000 mile overland trip tc south western Alaska, headed for the money markets of the South.
