GEORG|As INHERITANCE
TAX LAW Be DEFENDED

Atlanta, Ga, January 4.-Clif-
ford Walker, Attorney-General OF
Georgia, will shortly be called up
on to defend before the state ST.
preme court the constitutionality
of Georgia's inheritance tax law,
which was passed during the adj
ministration of Governor John NJ
Slaton, and which has already
brought 100000 into the state
treasury.
The law was attacked in a case
coming up from Dougherty coun-
ty, where Sam Farkas, wealthy
citizen, left an estate valued at
100000 and disposed of in a will
so intricate as to be almost i'm
possible of construction.
Attorneys representing certain
OF the benehciaries attacked the
inheritance tax law on the ground
that it is property tax instead
OF privilege tax, while the state
commended, through Attorney
General Walker that the tax is
purely privilege tax. Judge
Cox of the Albany circuit up
held the law, and the case has
been appealed to the state ST.
prcme court.

But when you look at Bossy's face
then you see 1t is monstrosity, a

has no mouth, nor nose, nor upper
jaw. 1t has two keen bright eyes, a
handsome head, but instead of two
jaws and two lips, it has mere slit
for mouth, thrugh which the tonge

Milk or Whisky

anyone say: Eyes, John is a good

And did you ever hear of anyone
having to take the "Keeley cure" for

They say that liquor is more

tice that milk drinkers can walk

quarreled with this man and struck
him over the head with a milk bottle.
But, your Honor, was full of milk
and didn't know what l was doing"
So. Sounds funny, dosn't it?
If that $32 were all spent for milk
instead of liquor, the Police Courts
wouldn't have very much to do.
The man who drinks milk on going
to bed has pleasant dreams of gentle
Jerseys standing knee-deep in clover.
The man who drinks whisky on going
to bed usually dreams that a purple
cow with snaky horns is standing on
his chest and digging at him with
red-hot hoofs!
Milk never did anyone any harm;
and whisky never did anyone any
good.
