GEORGIA LEGISLATURE IS
AFTER WAR TAX FUND

Steps were taken by the Georgia
legislature Friday looking TO the re-
coyery of $11,S79,O94.9S from the Gov
eminent, this being Georgia's share CT
the illegal tax fund"
A resolution by Mr., Doris, of Crisp
and Clements, Of Irwin, memorializing
Congress to return the money collect
ed from Southern States during 1862
6S was adopted. The sum alleged t.
have been illegally collected from the
South is $6S,O72,9S9.99.
The supreme court of the United
States recently declared the tax illeg"
al, leaving the amount in the United
States treasury impaired. 1t is the
purpose of Georgia to apply the
amount to the pension fund.
The resolution will be sent to the
Senate for concurrence.

southeast of Guaymas, is gradually
forging ahead of the latter city, due
largely to the fact that it is much near
er to the American ports OF the Pacific
coast. Steamers loading at Mazatlan
save the long voyage up the Gulf Of
California. According to the latest av.
ailable figures of Mexico's foreign com
merce, Guaymas showed a decrease of
half a million dollars in imports com.
pared with the preceding year, while
Mazatlan's loss was only half as much,
whereas in exports Mazatlan gained
more than a million dollars and Quay
mas remained practically stationary.
Guaymas received a little more than
one-fffth the total imports of Mexico's
Pacific ports, and is slightly surpassed
by Mazatlan. Less than one fifth of
the export trade is controlled by the
more northerly port while Mazatlan
enjoys nearly a fourth of it. Three
years previously the trade percentage
of the two ports was reversed.

MAY NOT GET TO BILL
FOR SAVANNAH RECALL

ATLANTA, Ca, July 22.-The
chances of passing the Savannah re.
call bill through the house and senate
at the present session of the legisla-
ture are getting Simmer and simmer.
With the session half gone, it probably
viii not be possible to reach the bill
III its regular position on the calendar.
This means that it must be made a
special order. To make it a special
order, the rules committee must first
recommend and the committees rec
ommendation must be adopted by a
three-fourths vote
This rule is the same in both the
house and senate, and hence the diff
Guilty of passing the bill at the pres
ent session.
There is hardly a bill before the
house that can get a three-fourths
vote. The bill to repeal the tax
equalization law, which has a stronger
hold on the members of the house and
senate than any other piece of legis-
lation pending, has tried repeatedly t.
muster a three-fourths vote in TIE
house, and has failed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July a.
Guaymas, the scene of reported ex,
plot of the American cruiser Cleye-
land in releasing the steamer Sonora
recently, is described in today's Ma
tional Geographic Society bulletin as
the port of second importance on the
Mexican west coast.
AS the chief outlet of the wealthy
state of Sonora, Guaymas is seaport
of vast possibilities, says the bulletin
for it has naturally fine harbor, af-
fording anchorage in its present little
improved condition for vessels draw
ing from IA to 20 feet of water.
THE Southern Pacific Railway of
Mexico, running through the state cap
ital, Hermosilla, connects Guaymas
with the American border city of Nog-
ales, go miles to the north. The road S
extension along the coast to the south
has been greatly retarded by the polit
ical conditions, and according to the
companys report the losses on account
of interruptions to traffic from the be
ginning Of the Madero revolution 10
June Goth, 1913, amounted to $4,000
(gold).
~Cuaymas is not pleasant place il

FIGURES ON COST Of
GROWING BEEF MADE
FIGURES ON

FIGURES ON
WASHINGTON, D. c., July o.
President Fairfax Harrison, of South.
ern Railway Company, has directed at
tention to a statement prepared by W
f. Ward, senior animal husbandmar
in the United States agricultural de
partment, summarizing the results Of
investigations made by the department
into the cost of growing beef cattle in
different localities in the Unitec
States.
These investigations we're carried on
in the so-called corn-belt states Of In
diana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, South Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas, in Pennsylvania, in North
Aamaba, and in West Alabama. In
each case every possible charge was
made against the cattle, including not
only all feed but also labor, equip
ment, taxes, risk, depreciation, veter-
mary fees and interest at six per
cent on the investment, and against
each calf was charged not only the
net cost of keeping the cow but also
the cost of the bull per calf. The final
results are all in favor of the south.
The average cost per hundred
pounds of raising a calf to weaving
time was 500 in the corn belt ami
$T.22 in Pennsylvania, as compared
with 1888 in North Alabama and
1857 in West Alabama.
The average cost per hundred
pounds Of raising calf to twelve TO
fifteen months old was $11.79 in the
corn belt and 1924 in Pennsylvania
as compared with $4.41 in North Ala
bama and $469 in West Alabama. The
figures for the corn belt Pennsyl-
vania and North Alabama are based III

RACE'COURSE TAKES
PLACE Of THE BULL
FIGHTERS IN SPAIN

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, July 21.-
Bull fighters and their partisans LOOK
askance at luxurious new establish
ment just completed here, where
thoroughbred horses will soon begin
racing on scale hitherto unknown in
Spain.
The race course has all modern I'M
provements and with grandstands that
rival those of Longschamps and Au-
teuil near Paris. Alfonso XIII, has not
emily sanctioned the enterprise but has
given it vogue by acquiring a stable of
thoroughbreds himself; some of his
horses may make their debuts at the
meeting which opened July and will
continue until October /.
The more emotional and more con.
servative see in the Kings encourage
ment of horse racing the prelude to a
radical step in the undermining of
Spain-the eventual abandonment Of
the bull fight out of regard for the sen
timents OF. visitors from countries
where it is not looked upon as sport.
Others see in it simply timely and
enterprising project in the Spanish ct.
fort to encourage touring on the per-
insula.
Spain has shown a remarkable burst
of energy since the war began, with
King Alfonso setting the example. He
has accorded special facilities to COM
panies and capitalists for the building
Of hotels at favorable points, such us
Seville, Cadiz and Algeciras.
The city of Barcelona is organizing
a systematic movement with a view to
attracting American visitors to that
part of the Mediterranean coast. Fin
ancial aid to hotels and other encour-
agement to promoters of improvements
in coast resorts are to be given, and it
is intended to do everything necessary
to create a popular winter resort on
the Spanish coast from where cruises
may be made to the Balearic Islands.
The extension of horse racing here-
tofore absolutely neglected in Spain is
part OF this movement and does not q.
all mean that bull fighting will he
superseded by it. The national sport
will go as long as there are crowds to
witness it, probably. It all depends on
what taste the spaniards develop fot
the horses.
The idea is to profit from the paraly-
sis of racing in France and Belgium to
draw to SPANS greatest sea resort the
big spending owners of thoroughbreds
and the free liyers that follow racing
wherever it is.
A twenty thousand dollar stake for
the opening day indicated the earnest
ness of the enterprise.
Among the stables represented are
three American owners, w. x. Wander
bilt with 80 of the 60 horses he has in
training at Saint Louis de Poissy, JEFF
ferson Davis Coin with about the same
number, and T. P Thorne with dozen
