HEARINGS CUT SHORT
BY TAX COMMISSION
Opposition Now Develops Among
Members On One Rate For Real
Estate And Another For
Merchandise.

Atlanta, Ga, April 24-Lack of pub
lie interest in the new tax system pre-
pared by the tax commission for sub
mission to the Legislature ! shown
by the fact that the commission c&t in
half its schedule of public hearings.
When it started on its tour of the
state the commission figured on play
ing twoday stands at several places,
including Rene and Savannah and
Waycross, but the very small atten-
dance at the other hearings demons
strated conclusively that there was
no necessity for two-day sessions in
any city. and accordingly the program
was cut half in two, and the commit
tee spet only onn day i'll the cities
named.
The plan proposed by the tax com
mission is largely the work of Senator
DeJarnette, who spent more time on
it than all the other members put to-
gcther. and talked them into a quasi
acceptance of his theories of tax re-
have subsequently got cold feet on
THE scheme and have gone so far as
80 proclaim their opposition in hear
ings held by the commission. These
two 'recalictrants" are Representa-
tiyes Seaborn Wright of Floyd coun-
ty and Senator l.. r. Akin of Bruins
wick
Their objection, and the objection
raised in other quarters, in that the
DeJarnette plan would levy one rate
of taxation on real estate and another
land lower) rate on stocks and mer-
chandise, stocks and bonds, money in
bank, loans, etc. 1t is claimed that
the natural esult of sue ha system
would be to make cal estate, such as
farms, the states main dependence
for revenue, and thereby cause a
much higher rate of taxation to be
levied on this class of property.

HONORED WITH VETS
Gigantic Monument On Stone Noun
tain, Started For Confederates.
Will BE Memorial To World
:. War Heroes.

Atlanta, Ca, April 24.-The great
moment to the Confederate dead plan
ned for years by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy as the most fitting
memorial to the memory of the heroic
men who fought under the Stars and
Bars, is to be made a monument
to all Southern heroes who fought in
the American wars from the ReVolu.
ton to the great world war. The
decision was reached yesterday at a
meeting of tile Stone Mountain Con
federate Memorial Association in At
lanta The action was regarded as a
manifestation of the wave of national
ism that swept the country at the
outbreak of the world war and wiped
out all sectionalism within the Unit
ed States.
The entire mountain is to be built
itno one grand monument under the
direction of Gutzon BOrglum, the IA
nous sculptor, who originated the
idea While the monument as a whole
is to be in honor Of the Southern men
who died in all wars, the great central
figure of the creation will be the mon
ument to the Confederate dead. The
state legislature passed a resolution
two years ago making May 20 Stone
Mountain Memorial Day, when collec-
tions will be taken throughout the
south for the monument

had no previous acquaintance with Blue
Robin, but Judging from words scattered
about the cover of this book, she is well
known figure in the juvenile world. In
Blue Robin, the Girl Pioneer, she was six
teen and showing the world how to ex-
change "affiuence in large city for q
modest home in a small one" gracefully.
Here she is showing the same old world
how to accept the war in the same way.
She is an extremely priggish character,
as most girls in stories are who spend
their lives doing kindnesses to others, but
she fits neatly into Miss Halsey's
plans, which include mystery, ro-
nance and goodness, in addition
to clossal amount of information
about the war and many subjects
OF like import. The style is old fashioned,
but not the Oldest Instead of saying that
the veranda is ofttimes o'ershadowed by
the Stars and Stripes, Miss Halsey moves
on matter of twenty years and changes
the DER to over. She's in the same church
but in different pew, that's all.

large part of the humor of the book

The book is easy to read, though not
enthralling. We are of the opinion that
Anne's day is done and that she is now en-
titled to rest in peace. She has had long
life and happy one, as lives are meas
ured in fiction, but now her presence is
hindranee to any story.
Rich and poor children like to read
about each other, and so Morals Tpin Sis
ter and Lady Teddy Comes to Topn ought
to find place in both attics and palaces.
Mary Diekerson Donahey's story about
Lady Teddy has distinct touch of the
dramatic. Lady Teddy is wealthy little
girl who comes back to the old home
stead and takes the town by its ears by
being kidnapped and kept in cave for
nearly a week. Even the detectives were
unable to find her until poverty stricken
Monkey" Morley, one of the village boys,
lent hand. When Ted is returned and
Monkey is given the $1,000 reward, of
which he had heard not a rumor, every
thing ends in blaze of happiness for all.
The Liberty Girl is none other than
Rena I. Halsey's Nathalie of Blue Robin,
the Girl Pioneer. Just how many readers
will be thrilled by this announcement it is
not ours to know. Personally we have
