TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

There are few men in the city who
show the public spirit that S. A. Wood
does. The old gentleman has but
few interests here that would be ma
terially enhanced by the growth of
the city and he has reached these
years at which most people would
cease to be active. The most ambi-
tious young man with like means,
could do no more than Mr.. Wood has
done and is willing to do. He is pres
ent at all meetings. His voice is al
ways for the adoption of measures
designed to benefit the city. His
purse is always open to back his judg-
ment and the latter is rarely faulty.
If there were more such men in the
city its future would be assured.

When President Wilson was inaug-
urated, he soon afterwards appointed
Mr.. Harris Director of the United
States Census, and officials today say
that Mr.. Harris was the most efficient
Director of the Census since the Bu-
reau was established The main criti-
cism made against his administration
was by Judges Hughes during his can
didacy as the republican nominee for
President. who criticized him for ap-
pointing so many Georgia Democrats
to positions in the department,
During the time that Mr.. Harris was
serving as Director of the Census, in
the absence of Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld, of the Cabinet, Presi-
dent Wilson appointed Mr.. Harris act
ing Secretary of Commerce, and in
the discharge of this duty as tempo
rary member of the Presidents Cab
net his services and efficiency met
the hearty approval of President Will

tended to raise the price of cotton.

charged that there were leaks" in

Not once since the administration OF
Mr.. Harris has there been the slight

Under republican rule, the "age
limit" denied the right of Confederate
Veterans to hold Office in the Census
Bureau. while there were many Union
Veterans pensioned in it. Mr.. Harris
changed the "age limit" so that Con-
federate Veterans could be placed on
the same footing with Union Veterans

House ways and means committee,
which met to begin framing the new
ss.OO0OO0,O0O revenue bill
No definite decision was reached, but
Il was practically the unanimous Opin-
ion Of the committee that numerous
articles now free Of duty must be taxed.
Shoes costing more than a certain
amount must bear their share Of the
war burden. Expensive clothes for
both men and women will also be
heavily taxed with the tax growing
greater as the price increases.
Automobile taxes will be consider
ably increased and there will be a
heavy tax on gasoline, not only for the
purpose Of raising revenue. but with a
view 10 cutting down consumption by
pleasure cars TO the detriment Of
American war Industries.
Hotel meals costing over certain
amount-one proposal puts this amount
as low as S2-may be considered as un-
necessary and taxed as such.
In addition TO these there will be a
long list Of articles which are c0nsid-
cred as non-essentlals. Rates on other
articles already taxed will probably be
Increased.
