UP AGAINST THE SAME THING

Differing only in name Georgia has a taxation act' very similar to
that Of Nevada, known as the tax equalization act and practically the
same elements are working against it and trying to kill it as exist in
this state. But like Nevadas law it is working ut to the good, and
ton. indicates the analogy of conditions in the two states, Georgia
and Nevada:
The futile attempt to make the tan equalization act an issue in the
pending state campaign is a refreshing exhibition of demagogy-at-bay
What the new law has accomplished and is accomplishing is now be-

discovery that the law will near that the states current and disgrace

gogues singled out the tax equalization &c as offering a particularly
rich field for their operations. They could play upon the prejudice of
the masses by deceiving them-and this was their chance. 1t made n
difference to these demagogues if the state went bankrupt; if it had to

RATE DECISION

The decision of the Interstate Commerce commission as to whether
the eastern railroads are entitled to a 5 per cent increase in freight
rates may be rendered any day. In any event the matter will be definite
ly settled this month and the long agony ended. 1t is intimated that
while the 5 per en- proposition will be rejected, certain increases will
be allowed. How much and upon what articles will not be definitely
known until the decision is given out for publication.
The rate question has been before the commission for nan month.
and the backwardness OF business in some lines has n O doubt been caused
by a desire to know, upon the part of the railroads, just how much
money they could afford to spend for beterments and equipment. The
New York stock market has also been affected to a considerable extent

A SECOND TERM FOR WILSON

most men the direction in which they are moving.
But of more importance than the certain fate of the Oyster Bay
