THE DUTY IS NOW.

On the eve of the arrival of the
main guard of the Confederate Veter-
ans in Americas, where they will hold
their state reunion on Thursday and
Friday, we take in reproducing the
following editorial from the Augusta
Chronicle. The love which ths stsid
old Augusta daily voices, is no less
that Americas feels honored by having
these veterans among us. The editor
ial is:
The United Confederate Veterans of
Augusta leave in the morning to at
tend the state convention of their or
ganization.
Americas, the convention city, will
welcome them and care for them and
honor them and give attention to them
because of the affection that that hos
pitable and representative little city,
as well as all Georgia, holds for those
patriotic gentlemen of the days of war
and heroism.
The day is fast approaching when
there can be no more reunions on
earth of Confederate soldiers. 1t is to
the honor of the present generation
that, in life, these veteran warriors are
deferred to, complimented and shown
appreciation and esteem, as it will be
to the honor of succeeding generations
that their memory and the memory Of
the cause for which they gave so much
is perpetuated in tenderness.
We want the Augusta Confederate:
to know that while they are in at
tendance upon their annual campfire
there is mindful thought of them
among their neighbors and friends a
home; and we want them, and all theil
comrades, to know that Throughout
their state there is kindly and sympa
thetic interest in them, and in thei
convention work, because of the Low,
and regard in which they are held al
valiant men in what they held to be
and was, valiant cause,

TAX LIMIT WILL NOT
CLEAR GEORGIA DEBTS

ATLANTA, Aug. 2S.-Comptroller
General Wright has computed the 1916
tax rate officially at the full limit of 5
mills ad valorem levy for the year.
This, it is stated, results from heavy
appropriations made hast November
and added to by the last legislature on
account of the heavy appropriations
and the loss of certain revenue, there
will be a deficiency of not less than
100000 after the limit is levied.
With every county in the state, save
two, Dougherty and Floyd, heard from,
the total tax valuation in the state is
practically the same as in 1915, with an
enormous increase in appropriations.
At the extraordinary session 100000
was appropriated in excess of the rev.
enue, and to this the last session add
ed over 100000.
Including the corporation returns of
$152 ,623,510 which are $1,304,990 in
excess of last year, and an additional
$45, 100000 expected from the ten coun-
ties ordered by Tax Commissioner Jno.
C. Hart to increase the returns to
confirm the state acreage, the total tax
valuation for Georgia for 1915 amounts
to 1857 1880. This one item of $45,-
100000 expected from these ten coun-
ties will bring in an increased revenue
of $22 500.

THE BALKAN MOVES.

The Balkans are on fire again. Any
minute may bring the news of the
actual declarations of war of Rum
ania and Greece on the Teutonic allies.
This much is almost conceded, and
further there seems to be some ar
rangement and agreement with the al
lies and the little Balkans.
Germany has bungled although she
has displayed keen strength in main
tanning neutral Greece. Rumania
is already now moving - and
soon Bulgaria will be memory; Tur-
key will be a hollow spot, and the
dreadful drives will be on. Then,
comes the fall of the cause of the leu
tons.
The following editorial is from the
Savannah Morning News and very in
teresting:
For long time it has been appar-
emit that the Balkan front would as
sumo large share of the public inter-
est, because it was known that Gen.
Sarrail at Salonili was in command of
fine force of well-equipped British,
French and Serbian soldiers, supposed
to be superior in number and at least
equal in equipment to the force OF
Bulgarians and perhaps Austro-Ger-
mans occupying the line of the Greek
frontier. 1t was recognized that a
thrust through Bulgaria contained not
only military but political opportunit-
les of the first magnitude, and no bet

RAISING TAXES.

The people will recall the recent ag
itation to repeal the tax equalization
law. Whatever merit might have been
in the argument that there was nc
equalization among counties is being
exploded. The action of State Tax
Commissioner John C. Hart in order
irg the raise of several counties is an
Indication of the movements of the
lew.
An interesting article on the ques-
ton is from the esteemed Townsville
Tines Enterprise:
State Tax Commissioner John C.
Hart of Georgia has, by virtue Of his
authority, raised the rate of tax assess
ments in ten counties of the state on
various classes of returns. This he
had right to do, under the law, in an
effort to more nearly equalize the re-
turns in every county so that just
proportion of the burdens of state gov
eminent might be borne by each
county and each individual property
owner.
We believe this act will have its eff
feet in a way that will prove effective
in the further enforcement of the law
in the way which it's principles should
dictate. Any county is permitted to
assess its property, but it should con-
form to a certain standard in order te
properly distribute the burden of tax
alton. Any county failing in that re-
spect may be order to raise or lower
assessments to conform to the general
rule.
The matter of getting an equal as,
sessment on values in every county is
the most difficult proposition that the
state faces. 1t is easy enough for {
county to levy whatever proportion i
desires of the real value for its owl
use. 1t is not permissible to under
tax or to overtax in contributing to thu
general taxes of the state 1t is herr
that the great conflict comes. It's ad
justment should be toward a genera
Encouragement of percentage yalua
lions for state taxes. Whatever pro
portion of taxes is needed for tn
county itself could be offset in low
ering of a county rate, if the assess
ments will provide more than is nee
essary.
There are certain features of tn
law that could be improved on, bu
there is no reason whatever for re
peal of the law. The efforts of thos
who are studying the matter should b
toward improving the law rather tina
tearing down and destroying the prin
ciple which it involves.

ter time could be selected to make the
great effort than when Germany and
Austria had their hands full on the
| Russian and French fronts.
1t is the popular and no doubt the
correct guess that the Allies desire the
elimination of Bulgaria by quick,
crushing campaign. That fact would
mean the isolation of Turkey from her
allies and the opening up of new
avenue of attack upon Hungary, al
ready threatened from the northeast
b. the victorious Russian armies Gen.
Sarrail's attack lends strength to the
belief that the major strategy of the
Allies contemplates conquering the
Central powers piecemeal; that is,
first, the crushing of Bulgaria at
time when her allies cannot give her
much assistance; then perhaps sim
ultaneous attack upon Austro-Hungary
and Turkey, and finally the exerting of
tremendous pressure upon Germany
from every possible vantage point.
And the chances evidently favor the
success of this plan, even if Roumania
should continue neutral to the end of
the war, for in numbers and in sup
plies of big guns and shells the Allies
have great advantage, and it has
been proved already that men and
guns, other things being equal will de-
termine the outcome of the war. III
Bulgaria, with what assistance her al
lies can give her, withstands for long
the attack from Saloniki, which the
Allies have been preparing for many
months since the failure of the OAR
danelles campaign, she will have cause
to be proud of the feats of her sold
iers. She is facing the fight of her life.
