THE PRICE OF GASOLINE.

Gasoline is going to thirty or more cents per gallon and it is going to stay there. too, so we might just as we'll recognize the inevitable and pre- pare for it's coming. Figure it out for< yourself: There were 12, ,91O .OO0 barrels of gasoline produced in Amer ica. in 1912, against 13, ,38O,65 in 1911, IS. 46O,540 in 1910, and 12,7l2,S98 in 1909. In 1912, 590, GOO cars were in use in the United States, against 415,- 900 in 1911, 295,o70 in 1910, and 215.- 900 in 1909. With the demand ever increasing and the supply steadily dl- minishing, if you can~fnd in that con dition of affairs any grounds for ex- pecting a lessening price you are cer- tainly an eighteen-carat optimist.

What if this plan in action should
move up the New York banks, and
they in turn get after the European
banker? Doubtless they need NOV
ing up until they get upon the basis
that science and law have created
for them. You see the New York
banks borrow money from the banks
OF Europe, and make payment in
October; and the State banks Dor
row from New York and agree to
pay in October. Then the farmer
gets his, and it is to be paid in Oc-
tober Then you see Uncle Reuben
is made to rush his cotton to meet
the universal October payment; and
hc.overdoes the market, and pays the
cost.
Deductions. No man is to blame
for being honest, or for promptly
making payment when his notes fall
due. But fools are to blame for
making them due, and for having
them made due, before they are
really due.
The farmer needs good cotton
houses on his own farm, and instead
Of rushing his cotton to the gin to
be saWedOut in the green state, he
should store it in his own cotton
houses, where the lint will grow and
increase in amount and in quality
for some time; and this gain would
perhaps pay for it's keep and for the
ginning too.
The markets and the mills should
be fed one meal at time, as all men
feed themselves, and as all men feed
all animals.

THIS is A NIGER ADMINESTRA-
TION, YOU MUST REMEMBER.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: To my ut
ter establishment l find in the At
lanta Constitution Of July 9th the
following:
Washington, July 8.-An amend
ment appropriating $4,000 for an
exposition TO be held in Richmond,
Va, to commemorate the signing of
the emancipation proclamation was
written into the sundry civil appro-
priatiOn bill today by the Senate"
Isn't this remarkable conduct in
Democratic Senate? Does such Iegis-
lation as this ENSURE domestic tran
quility?" Does it promote the
general Welfare?" Can the delega-
ton of sovereign power to Senators
and Representatives be construed to
extend to this? Would to God the
alienation of human suffering was
as significant to our Representative
as the sickening celebration of the
emancipation of the negro. This ap-
pears to me as being not only an
outrageous imposition upon the tax
payers Of the South, but a gross in
suit as well. Surely our Southern
Congressman won't sit supinely by
and permit this appropriation to
stand.
Very respectfully,
Ga. GARLAND M. WATKINS.

TAX EQUALIZATION AND A MULE
BEAT JACK STATION.

Dear Sir: We note that Judge
Hart and his Iieutenants report the
amazing increase this year Of some
thing like one hundred million dol
lars. We also note that the big in
crease comes from lands and rural
real estate. The judge says there
has been some increase in corpora
ton tax also. Now, if the judge and
his lieutenants will hunt up all
bonds, notes and accounts due and
unpaid on the first Of next January,
they will soon be in position to
maintain the pride and patriotism
of the people as the judge calls it,
without being such a heavy burden
on the farms.
We note that Comptroller Wright
has assessed US $3.50 on the thous-
and, only last year it was $500.
Well that will make us love tax
equalization some, won't it? But
they tell us that leaves a deficit of a
million dollars. Seems that our
Statehouse officials couldn't keep
house at all without some sort of
deficit. That's what troubles us, the
deficit like the poor, We have always
with us.
The new tax law is the only thing
in Georgia that will pay dividends in
this good year 1914.
Judge Hart and his lieutenants
struck pay dirt before breakfast, and
why shouldn't they with no one to
hinder their prospecting. But had
they found $200,0OO,00 we would
still have our same old deficit.
The surprise in Georgia was the
election of Tom Hardwick, due we
think to his opposing the new tax
law. While the Sid Morris exposure
hoored Gov. Slaton. o yes, we are
willing to pay tax to run the State
economically, but not to run farm
trains, pay cowtick doctors, pay Hud-
son guano inspectors, pay tax equa-
liZers and a hundred other things
that designing men have fastened on
the people.
Should the equalizers find enough
land in one spot to make a county,
we would suggest that they call it
SlatOn county, as we already have a
Hart county.
We close here, wishing you all
nightly we'll. Yours in love,
Ga. A. MADDOX.
