Leader Tells President i Will Be
Difficult for Him to Sc
cure Repeal.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.-It will be
extremely difficult to procure the re-
peal Of the Panama Canal tolls ex-

Not only is Underwood opposed to
the repeal himself. but he told the
President that most of the Demo
Gratis who voted for the exemption last
year are inclined to stand by their
guns.
Representative Claude Kitchin, the
ranking majority member Of the Ways
and Means Committee, also saw Pres

brought advice similar to Mr.. I'm

FIGURES AID
FIGHT On
BUDGET
Early Report on Taxes Shows
$4,000 More Available
Than Sheet Calls For.

comnlete figures Of the 1914 realty
e.sessments by the City Tax AS,
SCISSORS we're obtained Wednesday,
which show that the city has in ex-
cess of $4,000 more available for eX-
nenditure than is contained in the
new budget. Wien the personally
and public service returns are IN,
there will, Of course, be a still great
or amount available that has not
been anticipated.
These figures, secured for publica-
ton much earlier than usual, are ex-
nected to have a significant bearing
on the budget fight They will prob
ably lead to amendments to the bud
get for improvements not contem-
plated by the Finance Committee for
this wear. They show that the city
has III funds, regardless of the state
ments of officials that anticipation OF
revenue had been stretched almost
TO the breaking point.
Total Assessment $13o,S35,575.

1914 taxation, just completed, is $780,
335.575. That is an increase of $1S,-
624,117 over the assessments for 1913.
The Finance Committee II making UP
the budget anticipated that there
would be an increase from all sources
Of taxation o. approximately $1,000.
The new figures indicate that this
anticipation will be exceeded by 3d.
100000 to sS,000,000. But what the
increase in personality and public
service corporation tax will be can
not definitely be told until later in
the year The fact is obvious, though,
that the realty assessments are more
than s2,5O0;o0O more than the Finance
Committee anticipated from all taxes,
which at the tax rate of 1,25 per cent
means that omre than $4,000 is al
ready available for expenditure.
Tax Figures by Wards.
Another fact of unusual interest is
that the realty tax figures are given
by wards. They show just how much
the property in each ward is assessed.
Multiplied by the tax rate of LIS per
cent the result gives the actual
amount of taxes each ward pays.
Here are the assessments of each
ward and the amount of taxes each
pays to the city on real property:
First Ward. assessments, $17,S1o,-
$50, taxes s222,62S; Second Ward,
S156o4475, taxes $1s5,O55.Ss; Third

All that is mortal of Augustus Oc-
tavius Bacon returned to his native
State Wednesday, to be little while
in the State Capitol before the red
old hills of Georgia receive the body
of their distinguished son to his eter-
nal rest.
A grand and solemn welcome was
awaiting the funeral train; such an
outturning as never has been seen be-
fore in Atlanta. There was all the
pomp and panoply of state-the muf-
fed drums, the dirge- breathing bands,
the military escort.
But over all was the solemn hush
of sorrow; the brooding shadow Of a
great love, and lasting regret.
Great Crowd at Station.
Half an hour before noon the plaza
of the Terminal Station was black

banked solidly with Georgians, wait
ing to pay last tribute to their we'll
beloved Senator and friend. There
we're faces at the topmost windows
of the station. There were people on

space left vacant.
But there was a calm and solemn
order in it all

United States regiment bore the rose

elecator, and accompanied 1t to the
plaza floor.
Flowers Cover casket.
There the casket, completely COW
cred by two gigantic floral wreaths,
was lifted to the shoulders of the ten
soldiers, and the slow procession took
it's way between files of cadets from
the Georgia Military Academy and
Marist College, who formed an aisle
back of which pressed the faces Of
the quiet, watchful crowd.
Behind the casket, hat in hand,
walked the escort that had come
from Washington. There was Sen
