RAISED THE LAND TAXES:
LOWERED THE CORPORA
TION TAXES.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: After read
ing your editorial I desire to say I
think you could be of great service
to the people in making some
speeches on the S1aton equalization
tax law, which was very particular
not to equalize the corporate prop
erty, yet raised the tax values Of the
people and then reduced the cOrpOr-
ate tax ten per cent. Slaton said the
above when urged as an objection to
the law was double barrelled idea
which the people would never under
stand. 1t is now clear that the peo-
pie pay more taxes and the corpora
tions ten per. cent less as a mere
starter
| believe you should advocate, as
you have always done a direct cur
rency, issued by the Government to
the people. We should revive the
sub-treasury plan in the Ocala plat
form. A direct loan by the Govern
ment to the producers of money on
their products. This will never be
a Government for the people until
this idea is enacted into law. We
should demand, not pray for, the
repeal of the ten per cent tax on
State issues Of currency. We could
then organize the bank of the State
of Georgia and furnish our people
needed currency without the aid of
the Federal Government. The tax
on the currency would go to support
the institutions Of the State.
We had as we'll look the PROPOSE
ton full in the face. The Federal
Government has never and neither
ever will be the friend Of the South

THE TRAGIC END OF ONE OF OUR
BEST FRIENDS.

Dear Sir: [ enclose you a clipping
from our town paper giving account
OF the sad death Of one of your best
friends and advocates. Only a few
days before the unfortunate accident
happened, he told me that he had
just sent you a list of twenty sub
scribers to the Jeffs, that his sub
scription would expire about the list
of December and he was going to try
to send in another list Of subscribe
ers with his renewal. But the sad
accident. Mr.. Nebane said that he
had been a regular subscriber and
ardent reader of your papers and
magazines for over twenty years, and
the more he read of your writings,
the greater his admiration for you,
and as long as he lived he intended
to remain a subscriber.
In speaking Of your prosecution,
my friend Mebane said that he had
resolved to never vote for any man
for office, from President to that of
justice of the peace, who was con-
trolled or in any way Influenced by
the Roman Catholic church, or sub
scribe for any paper, magazine or
periodical, that was under the same
control or influence. | have heard
several express themselves the same
way. I for one am in that class.
I hear a great deal Of talk about
Catholicism Of late, and the people
are getting aroused on the subject. l
never heard this subject mentioned
or agitated until the prosecution of
you began, and by the way, we Pro-
testants can do some retaliation too
when aroused.
May great success and happiness
crown all your efforts, and Heavens
richest blessings ever be upon you is
my earnest wish.
Very respectfully,
J. d. McEWEN.

Additional Letters From the People

for her national treachery in handing
over sturdy little Ulster of Ireland
to the dragon beast of pagan papal
Rome.
In conclusion I dare say that
the Protestant South will lead the
North in tearing the Shiny hands of
papaHsm from the throat of Uncle
Sam. Praise God that we have
Protestant South left.
If they prosecuted Jesus Christ
without cause, they will also
do the same to you and your CO.
workers. We do not need more men,
but we do need more manly men
who are ready to furnish fuel and
oil to keep the machinery in good
running order. [ read the Jefferso-
MAN and Watson's Magazine from
cover to cover and then SOW them
broadcast for others to read. They
sure are shells that puncture the
old worn out papal hulk of rot and
filth. God be with you until we
meet again in spirit and in truth if
not in person, remain,
Very truly yours,
Pa. HENRY J. SWEIGART.

ern farmer. The Government of the
.. S. probably all told cost the pea
pie of Georgia THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS year. We pay this both
directly and Indirectly. What do we
get for this vast sum of money, ex-
cept the postal service, the U. S.
Courts and some internal revenue
collectors? Leaving out the postal
service we could we'll do without all
the other.
In my humble opinion, the great
est crime ever perpetrated on a free
people, was when the Southern State
Legislatures ratified the Fed er2I
Charter and surrendered their indi~
vidual sovereignty. When this Was
done liberty flew out the window
never again to return to bless the
people of North America The South
has ever since been nothing more
than Federal tax district, where
money is collected to support the
Government and to enrich the North
ern and Eastern manufacturers. We
are always promised an equal share
in the Government. We are promised
good government and all we ought 20
have, but we are given nothing. This
has existed from the formation OF
the government and always VIII
continue. The amazing thing is that
the people of Georgia should con-
tinue to have any respect for such
promises and promissors.
BY all means go on the stump and
expose such hypocrisy, such liars.
Yours respectfully,
Ga. O. Nj. DUKE.
