clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided TO help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least, measures undertaken for the

portrayed by this photograph Of a

that were all she possessed when the

RADICAL CHANGE IN
CRIMINAL SENTENCES
UNDER NEW LAW JURIES AND
PRISON COMMISSION WILL
FIX THE PUNISHMENT.

A bill PASSED by the legislature IN
the closing hours of the session pro-
vides for indeterminate sentences for
criminals. The new law makes radl-
cal changes in criminal procedure IN
the state, but is in accord with more
modern ideas of treating the subject
of criminology.
The effect of the bill is that jurors
in criminal cases, except capital
crime cases, shall, in addition to find
ing a verdict of guilty, include IN
their verdict the maximum and min
imum punishment to be imposed, and
it shall be obligatory upon the judge
to impose the punishment fixed by
the Jury. In cases of pleas of guilty
the Judge shall impose a maximum
and minimum sentence. In all such
cases it shall be in the province. OF
the prison commission to determine,
upon the conduct of the convict while
serving the sentence, whether, after
the minimum sentence has been serv-
ed he shall be permitted to complete
the term outside the confines OF prs
on under regulations which shall be
prescribed by the prison COMMISSION

.SHOE-PRICE DROP
SEEN BY DEALERS
MAY NOT COME FOR ANOTHER
YEAR, HOWEVER. CHEAPER
GRADES ARE HELD BACK.

BOSTON, Mass.-Predictions of a
decided drop in the price of shoes
were made by leather dealers and
shoe manufacturers who testified to-
day at the grand jury investigation
of the high cost of living being con-
Quoted by District Attorney Joseph
C. Pelletier. The consensus of opin-
ion, however, was that the decline
might not come for another year.
Witnesses said that the people de-
manded a high grade of shoes and
were willing to pay for them. One
leading firm, it was brought out, had
millions of dollars worth of cheaper
grades of sole leather on hand, which
manufacturers would not buy be-
cause it did not come up to the stand
ard demanded by purchasers of shoes.
The district attorneys office said
one man called as a witness, the To-
cal representative of large leather
house, declined to testify on the
ground that his evidence might tend
to incriminate him. &

STATE TAX DIGEST
SHOWS A BIG GAIN
EXPECT TOTAL INCREASE WILL
REACH $5O,OOO,OoO. NOT AS
MUCH AS LAST YEAR.

The state tax digest as prepared
by Tax Commissioner H. J. Full
bright shows a gain of Sal, 924,176
for 1919 over the taxable property
valuation figures of 1918. These fig
ures are not complete, as twenty-sev-
en- counties are still to be heard
from, and among these are Fulton,
Floyd, Chatham and Richmond. 1t is
estimated that when the digests of
these counties come in the increase
for the state over 1919 will total
around $5O,000,000.
This increase of 1919. over 1918
will fail short of the increase of
1918 over 1917 by some $35, 100000.
Laurens is leading the counties of
the state so far in the advance over
last year, the gain being $2,640,678.
The complete returns of Laurens
county for 1919 were $13, 683,077
as against 11,042,399 for 1918.
Bibb county ranks second in the adj
vances with an increase of $780,
875.
So far Oglethorpe is credited with
the largest percentage of increase
of any of the counties. Assessments
in this county went up more than So
an acre. 1t is believed that the effort
to have the j. M. Smith estate re-
turned at a larger figure is response
BILE for this.
Of the newly created counties
Cook, with returns totaling S3,627,-
ACT, made the best showing. Treutlen
returned $2,194,712 and Atkinson re-
turned S1,89O,073.
The counties showing tax returns
increases of a million or more are
Clarke, $1,795, 780; Bib, $780,
875; DeKalb, $1,340,546; Laurens,
S2,64O,678; Muscogee, $1,112,845;
Oglethorpe, 1882, 1876; Spalding,
S1,256,545; Troup, $1,559,080, and
Ware $1,163,533.
Decrease in Nine Counties.
There is falling off in property
valuation in nine counties, most OF
them counties from which slices were
cut to round out new counties. The
losses in returns are as follows:
Clinch, Stills; Coffee, 81, 242,31O;
Evans, S99,461; Harris, $172, 100;
johnson, S6,579; Mcintosh, S24, 776;
Montgomery, $876S78; Pickens,

BERGER, not SEATED,
DRAWS $4,5OO PAY
SOCIALIST, so FAR BARRED
FROM CONGRESS, GETS SAL
AIRY, MILEAGE, CLERK HIRE.

Even if Victor Berger never sets
foot in Washington again he has al
ready benefited from the United
States government to the extent of
nearly $4,000. Added to this is the
cost of the inquiry to determine
whether Berger is too disloyal to oc-
cupy the seat to which he has been
elected in the house.
The inquiry has been suspended
until Sept. Is. The final report may
not be ready until October No mat
ter whether it recommends that Ber-
ger be thrown out of the house, and
that body sustains the report by Oc-
tober Mr.. Berger will have been paid
tidy sum by Uncle Sam.
On every pay day for house mem
bers Mr.. Berger receives his 1925
monthly salary as member elect"
just as full-fedged representatives
do. He has received salary ever since
congress convened March A, and his
salary to date has amounted to 3d.
1875. On Sept. 1 another 1925 will
be due him.
In addition to this, he has so far
received $371.2O in mileage and his
clerks have been paid according to
schedule. SO far the clerk hire of the
member elect" is $933.34.
Therefore Mr.. Berger has received
$3,125 for salary, $371.20 in mile
age and $933.34 for clerk hire, max
ing $4,42954 in all. By October, out
side of any additional mileage, this
will be increased by $3.50, two
months salary and $533.32 in two
months clerk salary, making total
of S6,312.86.

DEAD Are HALF OF
new HIGHWAY LAWS
ACTS CREATING NEW BOARD
AND PROVIDING TAG FEES
IN SERIOUS CONFLICT.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Half of the state
highway legislation enacted this year
has been knocked into cooked hat.
There isn't going to be any new mo-
tor vehicle license law-fOr another
year, anyway.
Governor Dorsey signed the new
motor vehicle bill this morning and,
when going over the measure reor-
ganizing the highway department, or
creating the new state highway
board, he found that the two bills
are so much in conflict that one Will
necessarily destroy the other.
The law creating the new board
was signed by the governor Monday,
and being the last act signed it will
stand as the law, and will, automati-
caIlv. repeal conflicting features IN
the former bill, thereby virtually
multiplying and making imperative
the license tag bill. That will mean
the new schedule of motor license
fees, which was intended to go into
effect January 1, 1920, will not be
effective at that time, and the 81
100000 expected to be raised under
that bill in 1920 will not be raised.
The presumption is the old license
bill. under which the tags are now
sold, will remain in force and effect
until the legislature passes a new
hill.

STEAL TO ESCAPE
BIG WHITE SILENCE
SOLDIERS PREFER BLACK DUN
GEON IN AMERICA TO EASE
ON SUB-ARCTIC PLATEAU.

SAN FRANCISCO.-A black dun
geon in America rather than the vast
white silence of Siberia. Prison fare
on the "home lot" for year in pref
erence to reindeer steaks and caribou
outlets in upper Asia. Hard labor on
Alcatraz Island instead of chilly ease
on the sub-Arctic plateau.
These are the choices of the Amer
lean soldier, according to reports
brought in by fifty-two offenders
against military laws who recently
arrived here under guard from Vladi-
vostok.
The American expeditionary force
in Siberia, these prisoners declare,
are ''fed up" with service against
the bolsheviki and with the dreary
monotony of military life in land
where even the thermometers go on
strike as early as September and the
Snow King holds sway for eight or
nine months in the year.
"A mOnCn OF So dSO OllC VI CAOSN
'fed ups" hit upon a means OF es-
cape.
He stole a shirt.
Then he made sure of being found
out.
He was arrested and pleaded gull

in prison" 49,,
There are no American military
prisons in Siberia. The closest one is
on Alcatraz Island, in San Francisco
Bay. So he was sent there.
The news spread like wild -tire.
Now scores of Americans are said to
be hunting around for something to
steal!
"American soldiers are deliberately
committing minor crimes and seek
ing court martial so that they will
be sent back to the United States,
saws Colonel Joseph Garrard, in
charge of the disciplinary barracks at
Alcatraz. "Once here they are prov
