4 Luciar j.. knight, State Historian
and Compiler Of Colonial Records, is
assembling into three volumes a
complete personal history of every
Legislature gathered together in
Georgia aince the Revolution. so far
as such q history, with all the data
available, may be assembled.
Mr. knight already has completed
"a list of the various Speakers, and
has accurately made up the rolls of
number Of Legislatures. This his
tory is now scattered throughout
hundreds Of state documents Of one
| sort and another, particularly in the
various House and Senate Journals.
When Nj Knight has finished his
work, il viii be possible to locate the
Legislative terms of every member
VINO ever has served in the various
General senbiies-sunethinE that.
as matters now stand, it is all but

In connection with a great many
Of these former members Of the vari-
Gus Legislatures, Mr.. knight VIII be
able to carry in this work parts OF
their reCords--especially concerning
the larger events--and this will be
done in such wise that these records
may be located quickly and com
pactly, when desired.
Mr. knight already has dug up
many quaint and interesting bits of
history in connection with some
members for instance, it is not gem
orally known that Jones county
once furnished a Speaker of the
name Of Joseph Day for three con-
secutive terms. Speakers then were
elected annually. Moreover, at that
time, Jones county had four members
Of the House, by reason Of Its vast
wealth and then extraordinary i'm
portance among the counties. There
were at that time only about one
third the number Of counties the
state now has. 1t used to be the law
IN Georgia, too, TO send at least one
Representative and Senator from
each which made the Senate
very large body. although not nee
essarilv so large as the House.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAvENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth district

A Cecond thought is enough to con-
vince the average citizen of the poor
policy OF exempting foreign bond own
ers from this great tax. The Tor
eigner who invests his money in Amer
lean bonds is virtually mortgage
holder. The mortgage holder is virtu-
ally an owner of the property which
is mcrtgaged. Thus the foreigner be-
comes a sort of absentee landlord, de-
rivinr his rent from the interest on his
bond holdings. Absentee landlordism
has been the curse of every country
where it is practiced to any extent
And yet under this decision an actual
announcement is given to absentee
holder Tor Iandlord) is taxed. The abb
sentee landlord escapes.
OF course, there are two sides to
every story. The chief investors in
American bonds are the French, Ger
man and English. All of these invest
ors actually pay an income tax on
their American bond coupons, but they
pay this tax to their home govern
ments. Were the American govern
ment to insist upon its tax, 1t would
mean dosble income taxation for for
eign investors in American securities
The income tax law was being inter-
preted at a time when the republican
attack on the currency bill was fierc-
est. Senator Root and other republi-
cans voiced the prediction in this de-
bate that foreigners might begin I'M
loading their American securities. IL
this prediction were to prove true it
would be a serious matter for this
since the sale of these securi-
ties sbroad would drain this country
OF billions of dollars of its gold supply.
To assess the income tax against
foreigners holding American bonds
would diminish the desirability of
these interests and might cause
an unloading. Therefore it is possible
that there was a hint of expediency in
the decision of the commissioner. 1t
is understood that this decision was
based on an opinion from Attorney !
General McReynolds.
By next winter, however, business
will have adjusted itself to the new
banking system, and there would seem
10 be no good reason why congress |
should not by an amendment insist |
hat the foreigners pay the regular in
come tax rates.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-01-15

ent congress in the session which be-
gins next December By that time the
law will have had nearly years test,
and The defects in the prescribed rules
of administration will have become ap-
parent No taxation law ever written
by congress possesses the intricacy
of the income tax law, and it is mar
velous that its author could so COM
pletely cover the thousands of COM
mercial situations and transactions
with so few written words. But, com
plete as the law is. there are constant
~ arising questions which apparently
are not covered by it, and as a result
the Commissioner of internal revenue
is continually issuing new decisions to
guide the collectors of the tax.
One of these recent decisions, it
seems to this writer. does not possess
the wisdom and justice that have char
acteriAed the body of these opinions.
This is the decision which exempts
foreigners owning American bonds
from the payment of the income tax
on the interest derived from
these securities. The commits
sfoner cannot be expected to reverse
himself on this point. and consequently
IL seems that on this one point. at
least. the law needs specific amend
ment.

Il is hard for most republican news

organ makes a strenuous but uncon-
vincing effort TO show that IL is a re-

principles are utterly opposed to those
OF the democratic party during the
three Bryan campaigns" this paper
asserts. But how? Has not Mr.. Bryan
always contended that the power TO
coin money and TO issue currency was
purely a governmental function ana
does not the new Law put the currency
issuing power firmly in the hands OF
the federal government? And has not
Mr.. Bryan warmly endorsed and prais-

LITTLE SENoRITA-BY CLARIssA MACKTy

Wakeman's little gal. the little senori-

with her Mexican servant. Rosa Any

coffee and cried like baby.
Jim Derrick swore under his breath.

asked sharply.

where bullet had torn a hole through

of his men who had some knowledge
of surgery. he put the wounded cow

nearest town for a doctor. This &C.

horse. Satan, and examined his pistols
carefully.
I'm going across the border to St
