Judge John Hart
Reports on Taxes.

Atlanta, Ca. August 9th
Judge John S. Hart, state tax
commissioner, yesterday made
his report to the governor and
the comptroller general of the
total taxable values of Georgia,
exclusive of railroads, for 1915
and when Governor Harris re-
turns from Macon to-day it is
expected that one of his first
acts will be a conference with
Comptroller General w. A.
Wright for the purpose of fixing
the state tax rate.
The Governor went to Macon
Thursday morning. He expects
to be in his office to-day.
1t is likely that the tax rate
will be fixed at about At mills
this year, on increase of 2 of l
mill over the rate of last year;
this increase being due to a fall
ing of taxable values as a re-
suit of war conditions in bust
ness.
Judge Hart says that the de-
crease in taxable values, exclu-
sive of railroad property, this
year is So, 655, 221.
Judge Harris report to the
governor and comptroller gener-
al is as follows:
''The total taxable values of
Georgia, exclusive o f railroad
property, for the year 1915, as
shown by the digest of the
several counties of the state,
amounts to $799, 1873. 975. In 10.
Is the year prior to the passage
of the equalization tax act the
total values were $40, OBI, OLA.
In 1914, under the operation of
the tax act for the first year the
values were increased to $685.
800, JOG.
1t will thus be seen that the
relative values of this years
returns, 1916. with the returns
of the year 1914 shows a small
decrease of $S,655, 221, still the
values for this year are $74. 49,
961 more than the year prior to
the passage of the equalization
tax act.
This increase of values has
been brought about largely thru
the work of the local boards of
assessors in equalizing values
between the taxpayers, and by
the discovery and placing upon

ADDS TO PRODUCTION COST
Some Superintendents Are Producing
At Cost of AS LOW as 2 Cents.

Under the tentative arrangement
made Saturday, which in all proba-
bility will be given permanency by
an order to that effect will result in
strict pro rating of the oil and will
carry out the terms of the oil con
seryation law to the letter. The plan
is to allow the small producers the
exclusive right to run oil through the
pipe line by inducing the larger
companies to use steel tanks ex-
clusiyely.
When a lease is purchased and
wells drilled the cost of these items
go to investment and the operating
expenses are charged to the expense
account Every superintendent takes
pride in how cheap he can produce
oil. Some of the Healdton producers
are producing oil at as low a figure
as two cents a barrel. When steel
tanks are purchased it adds about
24c to the price Of producing each
barrel of oil and the superintendents
are always disappointed when steel
tanks are built for the production
because it makes their record of ex-
pense go higher
Superintendents say it is a sacri
flee for the bigger companies to buy
the steel and to give the smaller
producers the exclusive use OF the
pipe line. II this agreement is reach
ed, the larger producers are to be

congratulated upon their fairness in
the matter.
When only a portion of oil is pro.
duced, 1t is an established rule in
the fields for each producer to make
his runs from his outside wells and
to allow the inside wells to lie dor
mant. The reason attached to that
rule is that each producer takes the
oil from as near his neighbor's lease
as he can.
