RAILROADS STILL KICKING
ON "TENTATIVE VALUATIONS

ATLANTA. Ca, Dec. 29.-That the
so-called tentative valuations" OF
railroads given out by the Interstate
Commerce commission are doing the
railroads an injustice, because they
make it appear as if the railroads
were enormously over-capitalized, is
contended by railroad officials of this
city who are seeking, with the other
railroad officials over the country, TO
persuade the commission to explain,
when it gives out tentative yalua-
tion," that the figures are not neces,
sarily complete.
In fact, these officials claim that
the tentative valuations" made pub
lie through the newspapers are by no
means complete valuations of all the
physical and other property of the
roads, but are only partial inventories.
AS the tentative valuations" an
nounced by the commission have In
most cases represented only fraction
of the capitalization of the roads so
valued, the figures have naturally
created the impression of grossly in
t1ated securities.

MAY ESTABLISH GREAT SILK
INDUSTRY In NORTH GEORGIl

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 29.--Can silk
be raised successfully in Georgia ?
Some Georgia editor has facetiousl :
answered the question in the affirma-
tive by declaring that Georgia-raised
silk is the kind which has never been
seen on land or sea.
But emAnent scientific authorities
say silk can be raised in Georgia, and
experiments are now being conducted
on a large scale in some of the north
ern counties. Georgia can raise prob
ably a greater variety of products
than any other state in the union, and
raise them profitably. This marvel
Gus diversity of soil and climate is
destined to make her the richest state
in the union in twenty years, accord.

but that Georgia may rival Japan ir

This is measure which is being op

seen if congress will decree that
there shall be no high ball in the
national capital.

SERVICE FIRST-COUNTS.

The interest taken by the travelling
men in the Times-Recorder is pleasing
to the paper An evidence is the sale
of papers each afternoon at the
Windsor hotel where the first copies
of the press are sent.
In the recent and present extraord-
i:ary times for news of wide interest,
the Times-Recorder has made a num-
Der of remarkable news beats-with
the service of the Associated Press.
The first intimation of peace by Ger
many and her allies was carried in
the afternoon papers of December 18th.
The paper with connections through j..
out the world by wire is the paper in
front these days.
The Thomasville Times Enterprise
had the following to say of an incident
in regard to their interesting publica-
tion-also an A P. member.
What the matter with the big
papers-they haven't come to us
for a week with any regularity?
had better take The Times Enter
prise. so l will be sure to get the
big news on time"
A gentleman who is not a resi-
dent of Thomasville, but who Is
staying here temporarily, said that
in the office yesterday. He had
been borrowing the paper to read,
or finding it in some of the
stores up town. He had been re-
lying on out-of-town papers for
his news.
1t was one time when they were
ineffective as far as his experience
proved, and he knew beyond ques-
ton that he could get what he
wanted in The Times Enterprise.

THE BOND ISSUE.

The bond issue of the Third District
A. &, M. College, amounting to $40 900
and the subsequent sale of the bond:
to local capital, is attracting attention
ever the state. The manner of secur
ing money for the college is endorsed
by the Triton Gazette, which says:
The trustees of the Third Dis
trict Agricultural and Mechanical
school. at Americas, have issued
bonds to the amount of 10000 for
needed improvements. These
bonds were bought by Americas
people, the entire issue being taken
by local subscription. This ap-
pears to be very sensible method
of raising funds to help these
schools, when the state fails to
do it's part. AS the Americas
school is state institution, it was
necessary to secure legislative ap-
prevail for the bond issue, and this
was done at the last session of the
general assembly.

Dec. 29.-Game. including elephants

tally true in the northern reserve

MUCH REVENUE COMING INTO
STATE TREASURY THROUGH
SLATON INHERITANCE TAXES

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec, 29.-It would
take. $28.4OO,OO0 worth of Georgia
farm land at the present tax rate of Sc
cents per 500 to produce as much
revenue as the inheritance tax has
produced for the state at the rate oil
3 per cent, or $500 on the $4,000.
In the two years since it went into
effect, the Inheritance tax has yielded
in round numbers $4,000 for the
state treasury, and this large sum of
money has been of very substantial
help since the treasury, as everyone
knows, has not enjoyed the very best
of financial health during recent years.
The tax equalization law, enacted
during the administration of Governor
John M. Slaton, compels the return of
real estate for taxation, and provides
for the assessment of valuation up
on the same Criticism of the law has
come from the rural counties of the
state. But during the same admins
tration was passed the inheritance tax
law, which lays burden exactly ten
times as great upon large fortunes be-
queathed by the rich, and the vast Of
farm land which would be required to
produce as much revenue as a few
estates have produced may be consid-
cred as an offset to the tax equaliza-
ton law.
