Judge Andrews ia bent on doing, and

Some persons imagined, perhaps,
that most of the fun and fury had
been taken out of the case by the de-

stand. Today's sessions showed how
incorrect that notion was. The APP

A GEORGIA TAX RATE.

Dade county, Georgia, a county thru
which the famous Dixie Highway
passes, has tax rate of only 81. 80.
The following from the Dade County
Times states the situation fully, and
shows that some counties can have the
Dixie Highway without bonding their
people, body and soul, for years to
come:
"Dade county citizens will pay a
combined State and county tax rate of
81. 30 on the 800 for 1915, this being
an increase of 90 cents over last year.
OF this amount IS cents Is the State
rate and 80 cents is levied for all coun-
ty purposes, divided as follows:
''To pay public Indebtedness, SC;
Repairs for public buildings, 1c; Jail
and coroner fees, Sc; Court and jury
expenses, Sc; Fees for county officers,
4c; Expense county poor. &c; General
expenses, &c. Total county levy made
by Ordinary. 34c. Amount levied by
Board Roads and Revenues for road
purposes: For interest on road bonds,
1S1ac; For sinking fund, l41Sc; For
general road purposes, 15c; Total levy
made by Board of Roads and Revenue,
49c.
1.-THE announcement of this small
increase in the tax rate will no doubt
be great disappointment to few of
our disgruntled tax payers and cal
amity howlers, who have been predict.
ing heavy and unbearable taxation
because of the bond issue foated for
the purpose of building the pike road.
The tax rate for road purposes is some
four or five cents heavier this year
than it will be in the future, owing to
the accumulation of interest on the
bond issue.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %.
FRANKLIN COUNTY FOR BONDS.

Franklin County passed its bond Dill
for $3.50. 900 bonds for road improve
ment Saturday, by a vote of the peo-
pie. This was eminently proper, and
should prove satisfactory. The people
pay the bills, anyway, and should al
ways have voice in saying whether
they want additional taxation, espec-
tally in such an important matter as
road bonds. This is the course which
the News has urged all along on the
bond question in Marion county. for
the people of Marion to settle it by
their vote, and then be forever silent
This course was obstinately refused,
and it developed into question of
liberty.
Franklin now has tax of ST. 30 per
300. This additional bond issue will
increase it about $50, making a total
tax of 81 10 per 800. This tax will
be same as proposed tax for this coun-
ty beginning sale of bonds, but which
has been enjoined by a number Of rep
resentative citizens. franklin county
has the advantage Of us, however, for
it has had no previous bond issue. We
have had, and are now paying dearly
for what few good roads we have.
franklin county enters the work with
$3.50, 900 voted and tax rate of $2.15.
If the bond bill had not been enjoined |
by our citizeus, we would now be |
concluding the spending of $3.50, 900 on
our roads for the same tax rate |
franklin county hence is 800, 900 bet
ter off on the deal, and has the expert
ence of other counties in waste of
money. to foresee against.
The result was surprise to us, as
what Franklin county people we have
met have been against bonds, prefer
ring direct tax of soc per year levied
by the county court. We are of the
opinion that this would have been the
least expensive method of road build
ing, for bonds for roads is expensive
road building. Speakers were put in
the field and charmed the people with
their oratory, as in all public matters,
and probably this won the day, and
gave the money lenders chance in
Franklin county.
