NEWSPAPERS CAUSE
DELAY IN MATTERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IL
The federal trade commission today
announced that the failure of newspa-
per publishers throughout the country
to send prompt answers to the commits
sion's questions, is delaying to some
extent the Investigation into the price
of newsprint paper.
The investigation into paper pricea
was determined upon some time ago,
at which time the commission invited
publishers throughout the United
States to furnish figures covering the
cost of such paper used by them during
a stated period. Few publishers have
as yet complied with the invitation, and
until these facts are obtained the
commission will be unable to intelli-
gently investigate the subject.

TAX EXEMPTION LOSES
OUT IN HOUSE VOTE

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 11.-What is
the difference between chemistry
taught at state university and chem.
istry taught at university supported
by religious denomination?
Wherein do the medicine and sur
gerry promulgated by the faculty of a
state institution conflict with medicine
and surgery promulgated by the facul-
ty of a college owned by church?
Of course, there is no difference.
and no conflict, yet apparently the
Georgia house of representatives can
see a vast difference and most radi-
cal conflict.
So vast and so radical, in fact, that
the house refuses to pass a bill sub
hitting to the voters of Georgia the
quetion whether college endowments
shall be exempted from taxation.
Already one of the lowest states in
the union in point of literacy, one of
the two states that refuses to exemp-
endowments, state unable to provide
respectable support for its institutions
of higher learning, Georgia will coz
t:nue to hinder and hamper educa-
tional progress by levying a tax on
funds set aside for the support of
and universities.
In the house yesterday, when the bill
previously passed by the senate to ex-
empt endowments was up for passage.
the cry was raised that such an exemp-
ton would unite the church and state,
would combine the two in most I'M
democratic and unholy relation, would
upset the doctrines of Thomas Jeffer-
son and play the devil generally.
Against this cry was cited the fact
that the authors of the constitution of
1877 saw no union between church and
state in exempting church property,
school property and property of char
table institutions from taxation.
The exemption bill got 1T votes and
81 votes were recorded against it. AL
overwhelming majority, it was true,
but nike votes less than the two
thirds majority of 126 votes required
to pass a constitutional amendment.

HOW MUCH MONEY HAS
|. & n. SPENT HERE

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 11.-How muc!.
money, if any, has the Louisville &
Nashville railroad expended for ''polit-
zeal purposes" in the state of Geor~
ga?
The people will presently know the
answer to this question, if the supreme
court of the District of Columbia up
holds the right of the Interstate Com
merce commission to compel Milton H.
Smith, president of the Louisville &
Nashville, to tell what he knows.
A few weeks ago the commission
commenced an investigation of the
Louisville G. Nashville's political and
legislative manipulations in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
Among other things, the commission
developed the fact that the road had
been very free in the use of passes
among legislators and judges. But
when the commission began to bore
with big augur, for the purpose of
bringing out all the facts, President
Smith reared back in his chair and de-
clined to answer
Should the power of tn Interstate
Commerce commission be upheld,
President Smith will be asked how
much, if any, the Louisville & Nash,
vile expended to prevent the passage
by the Georgia legislature of the bill
to prevent the paralleling of the
Western & Atlantic railroad; how
much it paid the law firm Of Dorsey,
Brewster, Howell G. Heyman to attack
the anti-paralleling act in the courts;
how much, if any, it expended in the
present gubernatorial campaign in
Georgia, in which Hugh NJ. Dorsey, a
member Of the aforementioned firm.
is candidate.
