CAIN IN LAND AND TAX
VALUES SHOWN BY HART
Commissioners Annual Report
Details Results of EQualiza-,
ton Law in Three Years

Judge John c. Hart, state tax COM
missioner, has just published his annual
report showing that the operation of the
tax equalization law during the three
years since it was enacted has steadily
increased and equalized tax values, in
creased the number of acres Of improved
land and decreased the wild land acre
age In the state.
Judge Hart shows that when the tax
act was passed in 1918 the total taxa
BILE property in the state was assessed
at ss67,973 ,737; that in 1914, the first
year after the law went into effect, the
taxable property increased SS6,333, las,
making the total value then S95S,542,-
SS2. The figures for 1915 were $751;
765, 0T2, the decrease being due to the
European wars Generalization Of BUSH
ness. But in 1916 the total tax values
ran up to Ss54,136,O7O.
Acreage OF improved land has in
creased during the past three years from
SI,2S9,sS6 in 1913, to 32,221,Q15 in 1916,
while on the other hand wild land acre
age has decreased in a corresponding
ratio.
In August last year Judge Hart, car
rying out the eQualizing provision of the
law, issued an order directing the coun-
ty assessors to make increases as fol-
lows:
In Bulloch county 10 per cent be add
ed on improved land, 10 per cent be add
ed on merchandise;
That in Burke county 20 per cent be
added on improved land;
That in Coffee county % per cent be
added on improved land;
That in Emanuel county 20 per cent
be added on improved land, 10 per cent
on shares of stocks in banks;
That in Grady county 20 per cent be
added on improved land;
That in Hart county % per cent be
added on improved land;
That in Jenkins county % per cent be
added on improved land;
That in Oconee county 20 per cent be
added on improved land, 10 per cent be
added on shares Of stocks in banks, and
that 20 per cent be added on merchan-
disc;
That in Ware county so per cent be
added on wild land; for state taxation
for the year 1916.

Uncle Sam, today, is the most widely
talked of and caricatured individual in
the world.
Uncle Sans navy" is mentioned
more than the navy Of the United
States through constant usage OF the
popular national nickname for the last
century.
The first time the United States was
nicknamed Uncle Sam" was in 1912,
during the war with England.
The story connected with it's origin
is that some one asked what the let
tiers ~. S." marked in an address on
casks and barrels, meant. A bystander's
jocular answer was, Uncle Sam" refer
ring to Samuel Wilson, a resident OF
Troy, n. Y, TO whom the barrels were
addressed and who was called Uncle
Sam"
The nickname was taken up by the
newspapers and the people took to it i'm
mediately. BY 1917 it's popularity was
we'll established.
The first recorded cartoon of Uncle
Sam, and perhaps the earliest, came out
in Punch, the London humorous weekly.
I'm 1914. The English called him Broth
er Jonathan" then, although they recog
nized the American name later.
The cartoon was entitled Yankee

tails, although the familiar whiskers,
striped trousers and starred vest had

The first American cartoon Of Uncle
Sam was Bellows. published in the New
York Lantern of March 10, 1852. 1t

but with striped trousers.
Thomas Mast, in Harper's Weekly, it
is believed, was the first cartoonist to
draw Uncle Sam with whiskers and
starred vest. besides striped trousers
and high collar. Since then Uncle Sam
has changed very little in caricature.

Mr.. Bowers has learned few

Mr.. Bowers says one Rapides
farmer raised and sold from a six
acre piece Of land this spring $14S
worth Of potatoes. The same
land is now in corn which prom
ises to give a yield Of Is bushels
per acre, and corn is worth $500
a bushel. When the corn was
worked the last time. cow-peas
were sown in the middles, and
these will produce 10 to Is bush
els per acre. Cowpeas are also
worth good money these days.
When the corn and peas are off.
there is nothing to prevent a win
ter crop Of oats, rye or wheat be-
ing grown and grazed until
spring planting time-a profitable
practice in Louisiana.
The average farmer up north
would be glad to get one crop

ers-good farmers-get three
crops a year, or more.
