NEEDLESS Fight
!. ON EQUALIZATION
TAX THREATENED
POLITICS is BEHIND IT
Effort TO Repeal Law WILDE
In Vain

Atlanta, June 30.-The effort to re-
peal Georgia's tax equalization law
passed just one year ago, will undoubt-
eddy provoke the biggest fight schedll-
ed to come up at the present session
of the legislature. That there is poll.
tics back Of the movement is more
strongly indicated, it is said, by the
fact that the effort comes before OPP
portunity has been given to make a
fair test of the new law. This is the
first year that the law has operated
and the results of it will not be known
until all the tax returns are in early
in the fall. Already, however, there
have been many indications of the
value of the law to the state.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars OF
taxable property which has not been
reached for taxation heretofore have
been brought on to the tax digest ana
in many counties the increase has gone
to million dollars or more. So graf
flying have the results been as far as
the work has gone, that decrease in
the state tax rate for next year is al
ready predicted.
The law. however, seems to have
created some opposition in those Sec
tons where property has been held
out from the tax books or where
it was not returned at anything like
the proportionate valuation. This fact
is enabling certain members of the
legislature to make somewhat of a
grand stand play and at the same time
to attempt to embarrass the state ad-
ministration.
But the repeal of the tax equaliza-
ton law has long and hard row
to travel before it gets to anything
lfse successful issue. In the frs;
place the bill must gets by the ways
and means committee of the house
o. representatives. This COMMITTEES
is strongly in favor of the new act
and it is safe to say that it will
be in no hurry about reporting the
repeal bill. When it does report 1t,
there is little question that the re-
port will be an adverse one.
1t takes majority of the house to
call up for consideration and action
an adversely reported bill and there
is another difficulty about getting it ur
for consideration. The chances are
That it will be somewhat late in the
session before this stage is reached,
ont admitting even that the house
should agree to give the repeal bill a
hearing and that it should pass the
me assure, the same process must be
gone through with in the senate with
committee that was farovable t.
tax equalization, and it is scarcely
l.Rely that the repeal will stand a
chance of getting by this body.
| However, should it by any acoi
dent get to that the only thing Gov
ernor Slaton could do would be t.
veto the bill. The governors politi-
cal enemies would like, doubtless, t.
Rave the matter reach this stage, but
the chances are all against the repeal
bill. ever getting to him. With the
opposition which the repeal of the
tax equalization law must encounter
the chances now are strongly against
its even getting to the senate in TIM
for consideration before the end q
the session.

BRITISH CRUISER
LANDS IN new
YORK HARBOR

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Brit
ish cruiser Suffolk sailed into the
entrance to New York harbor to
within mile and half of the
bar this morning, clearing the
way for a safe passage for the.
British tramp steamer New York
City. from MADEIRA.
Aboard the New York City
were important dispatches for the
British consul here. placed there
by officers of the Suffolk an hour
before. The Suffolk s officers
told officers of the New York
City that they had captured Ger
man oil tank steamer two days
ago: also that the Suffolk has
sighted supposedly German
cruiser with consort recently
and had given chase to the vessels
but that they had eluded her.
The tank steamer captured by
the Suffolk was taken, the officer
of the New York City said, either
to Halifax or Bermuda. They did
not learn which. 1t was consid-
cred probable that the vessel was
taken to Bermuda. Yesterday it
was reported that British cruis-
err was taking a German vessel as
a war prize to Bermuda. The
name Of this vessel was given as
the kronprinZ Wilhelm, one of the
big transatlantic steamers of the
North German Lloyd line. In view
of the story told by officers of
the New York City it was thought
today that this was incorrect and
that the prize was the German
tank steamer.
Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-THE
Philadelphia marine exchange to-
day received from the New York
Maritime Exchange the followin"
despatch:
London. Aug. 11.-German
tank steamer from Rotterdam
July 23d for Baton Rouge has
been captured and taken to Ber-
muda.
The captain of the steamship
kolumbian. which arrived today
from Honolulu, reports that on
August Z he sighted warship
conveying a supposed German
tanker moving toward Bermuda.
This apparently confirms the
news of the capture Of the Leda.

Purgatory, where will it send all the
others? If, by their own admission,
the Pope goes to Purgato1y, what
have any of the others and all the
others to hope?
I have read of the deaths of dis
tinguished Roman Catholic church
men, a Pope, cardinals, archbishops,
bishops, priests and laymen. I have
been at the funerals of good men and
women OF that church-as generally
supposed. ( have never known of a
Roman Catholic to die that the Off
ciating prelate, or priests, did not
somehow leave the impression that
the dead one had gone, straight to
Purgatory. 1t would seem by their
own funeral ovations, prayers, and
masses for the dead that Rome never
does give anybody straight first
hand passage to heaven. There
seems to be but little chance for any
body in that church, by the teach
ings of the priests, to ever get to
heaven without first going to at least
a limited edition Of hell. 1t is, there
fore, religion Of great gloom at the
grave, and of not much hope beyond
the grave.
The church in the Tridentine
Council said: There is a Purgatory
in which souls are retained after
death, and that souls therein de-
tanned are helped by the prayers and
suffrage of the living
But here is the Catechism used to-
day in Savannah and the Roman
church everywhere:
Question: What is Purgatory?
It is the state in which those suffer
for time who suffer fer veniaI sins,
or without having satisfied for the
punishment due to their sins"
Question: Can the faithful on
earth help the souls in Purgatory?"
Answer: ''The faithful on earth
can help the souls in Purgatory by
their prayers, fasts, aims, deeds, in
dulgences, and by having masses
said for them" Catechism of Chris
tan Doc. p. 70.
Here is such a leverage for graft
as this world never saw in any other
sphere of human history.
In the hour of death, deepest love
and deepest sorrow meet. What is
there that love will not do for a
loved one in the hour of death?
Anything, everything in ones power.
Now, a father, mother, wife, hus-
band, child, relative, friend dies.
By the teaching of the Roman church
he goes to Purgatory. The living
Roman Catholics are taught from
lisping childhood to believe it. Their
loved one is in Purgatory, suffering
torments for venia1 sins. The pray
ers, masses, and aims of the living
can pay them out" Pockets are
emptied-many times emptied-in-
definitely emptied. A Pope dies, goes
to Purgatory. All loyal Catholics
