GIN CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRO-
POSED INCREASE TO 20 P. c.

Vigorous opposition to the proposed
increase iii the war tax on amuse-
ments from 10 per cent to 20 per cent
Of the selling price of tickets has de-
velopei in Brunswick and senators
and congressman are being delugad
with protests by opera officials, the
atre managers and also the citizens
since it is the latter who must bear
the increase provided it goes into
effect.
At present there IS a tax OF l
per cent on every 10 cents or frac
tion thereof, that any amusement
ticket costs. The proposed increase
would double the tax. Hence, So
ticket on which the tax is now 90
cents, would costs $2.4O. Theatre men
po mt out that this tax, if levied, nee
eSsarily must be borne by the public
ard that therefore. the public gener
ally should register protests They
point to the patriotic part Of the the
atres in all war work enterprises, and
declare that it is unjust ITO seek addi.
tional revenue from theatres.

General Election May Be Held
When Amendment Can
Be Ratified.
SO AS TO BE READY FOR
LEGISLATIVE ACTION
All of Georgia Has Agreed That
Highway Laws to Meet This
Age Are Needed More Than
Any One Other Thing.

An opinion prepared by Attorney
General Walker at the request of
Governor Hugh Dorsey, on the posi-
bility of calling for general ele:
ton this fail in the event that the
next assembly will enact legislation
permitting const tutional amend
ment relating to highway laws, has
made if evident that to hold & gen
eral election before 1920 it will be
necessary for the people to vote On
sCme state official. The attorney gen
eral has suggested the creation of an
government as means to this end
Governor Dorsey has the matter un-
der considerat ION and hopes that
plan may be evolved whereby the re-
organization Of the state highway sys-
TEN will not have to be delayed fl-
almost two years.
The state law provides that con
stitutional amendment can only be
voted upon at a general election. that
is. an election when every voting citi-
zen in the state has the privilege of
going to the polls. The next one in
Georgia will be held in the fall OF
1920.
At the recent conference of the
budget and ,.egflatiNS commission,
the highway Legislative committee,
and the state highway commission
held at the capitol, Governor Dor
sey made the suggest bn that a gen
eral election of consta hles could sf.e
set for this fall The decision OF
Attorney General Walker sets forth
that such solution Il now impossible
because laws have been passed in
Fulton and other counties establish
ing the offices of constasbles There
could not therefore be general ell:
tion for the purpose.
The situation can be dealt with
finally only by the Legislature. II
this body enacts statute providing
for the election Of some general Of
ficer, of great or minor importance,
there will be chance for the people
Of Georgia to make a way for bett2r
roads in the state by the end Of
1919. If such a statute fails to pass
nothing can Re done which will ma
terially affect Georgia's highways be-
fore the end Of 1920. or after, the b9,
sis of improvements being a change
in tho constitution.

There is y movement on foot lock-

mobile club and a meeting of ali

a large number of these paid the IL

came rom it.
fhe local club will be formed for
local people only and local conditions
will receive the attention of the club
entirey and it is pointed cut that
much good can result from such an
oTganization to say nothing of the
protection it will givvel every car

PAY UP WEEK
TALKED HERE

A "Pay-up" Week has been suggest
ed for Brunswick some time within
the next sixty days and as this has
been tried in many cities and towns
during the past year on two and found
to work satisfactorily; it 3 presumed
that it could be done here.
The plan contemplates the settle
ment Of all outstanding accounts, botn
by merchants and their various Gus
toners. One feature OF the plan is to
be the negotiations Of settlements in
all instances where accounts are dis
puted, and where long standing bal-
ances are being carried.
This feature alone, it Is believed
will relieve credit departments Of the
large houses Of a considerable burden
as well as obviate the filing Of many
small suits.
