much annoyed, because the Georgia loClS-
lature refused to exempt the Coca Cola dona-
ton from taxation.
This donation amounts to million dollars,
and it was made to the projected Methodist
den0minati0nal college
If the C0ca-Cola business can make a mil
iondollar donation, why can't the CocaCola
business pay taxes on it?
Dear Doctor Loyett says that prior to 1877,
the State Of Georgia exempted college en-
dowments from taxation.
Religions colleges?
[ haven't looked the matter up. and I will
take the word of Dear Doctor Lovett; but if
the endowments of denominatonal colleges
was exempted from taxation, it 2r0s bad Ena0.
Previous to 1877, the State had no great
and expensive system of Public. non-sectarian
schools.
In the Constitution of 1877, the State
entered upon the present policy of taxing all,
to educate ALL
In other words, StQtc socialism 2cns not
adopted IN this State until 1877.
Since then we have spent millions Of dol
lars to educate the young people.
The annual appropriation has grown, and
grown, until it is now prodigious.
This being the case, the situation is alto
Gether different from what it was before 1877.
To exempt denominational schools noao, is
equivalent to taxing the people t1C5cc, for edu-
cation.
The taxes for the Public Schools is one: the
exemptions made at the expense of those who
are not exempt IS the other
The State has no legal or moral right to
tax Baptsts to maintain the church schools
Of our Methodist brethren.
Likewise the State has not right to exempt
from taxation a Presbyterian school whose
quota Of taxes RENTED to the school, must
fall upon Methodists. Episcopalians md Bap-
fists.
I 90 a step further, and contend that the
State has no right whatever to tax the nom
religious, for the support of religious schools.
That sort of thing is anragonistic to the ele-
mentary principles upon which our Govern
ment IS founded.
Between the period prior to 1917 and the
present period there is another big difference

Fruit Shippers
Win "lcing" Case
Court Sustains Order Reducing Charges
and Denies Railroads Exclusive
Icing Privileges.
[UNIrEp PRESS INAsnp w1Rn. !

Washington, Jan. 26.-The California
fruit shippers won an important victory
today in the supreme court against the
Sante Fe, Southern Pacific and Salt
Lake railroads in the "icing" cases.
The court sustained an interstate com
meree order greatly reducing charges
for refrigerating fruit cars and denied
that the railroads have the exclusive
privilege Of icing cars or can prevent
slippers from preceding and pre.icing
their own cars.
Whether the railroads carrying the
bulk of oranges and other citrus fruits
from California have the exclusive right
to refrigerate cars and may prevent
shippers from preceding and pre.icing
cars at lower rate was the Prime ques-
tion in the "icing case" Both the /.
c. c. and Commerce Court decided in
favor of the shippers. On July 5, 1909,
the Sante Fe, Southern Pacific and
"Salt Lake" railroads amended their
refrigeration rules to provide a re-
ductiOn to $50 for the use of refriger-
ated car pre-iced and preceded at the
shippers warehouse, the car being seal
ed and not re.iced in transit. The rate
for standard" icing, Refrigeration af.
ter cars are loaded, with replenishing
of ice on rOute) was $62.5O from the
coast to Chicago, The $50 rate was de-
clared unreasonable by the I. g. G, and
ordered cut to $3.50 per car. On May
4 the railroads attempted to withdraw
the entire pre-icing privilege. They
filed an injunction suit to set aside the
Commission IS order. By pre-icing the
shippers would save about 100000 a
year.
