In the recent nationwide drive
made by the Salvation Army for
home service fund, they asked for
s1S,O00,0O0. The results OF this
drive which lasted for a week show
that the desired sum was greatly oy-
ersubscribed. 1t is both pleasing TO
know this and to be certain that the
Salvation Army Is an organization
which will use the money to the best
possible advantage for the service of
the thousands OF people they admin
lister to each year. Some OF US are
apt to belittle the Salvation Army
and Judge its work merely by the re-
suits that we see some evening on
the street corner, but that is only a
small part of the work OF the Army.

HENRY MORGENTHAU TELLS
OF THE TURKISH HORRORS

A cablegram was received by the
Hon. Henry Morgenthau, former u
nited States Ambassador to Turkey,
from relief workers in Armenia, tell
ing of conditions in that country that
are so horrible as to be unprlntable.
Thousands of children are starv-
ing and dying for want of the bare
necessities of life each day, and l
have seen mothers so crazed from
hunger that they would eat the flesh
from the bodies of their own children
who had died of starvation" said Mr..
Morgenthau.
"Reports from every part of the
country where campaigns are being
conducted to raise money for relief
of these people indicate that sub
scriptions are generous" said L. A.
Cooper, Southern Division Director
of the Armenian-Syrian Relief Com
mittee. Many counties and cities
have voluntarily raised their quotas.
Because of the temperance of
the Spanish Influenza and local con-
ditions the drive has been postponed
in many counties, but we feel assur-
ed that as soon as conditions will
permit the campaign to be put on, the
South, with a hundred per cent re-
cord in all war charities, will not
fall down on this, one of humanity's
most distressed calls for assistance.
/ don't think that American mothers
and fathers knowing that there are
thousands of children dying of star
walton, can look on their own little
ones and refuse to give to this wor-
thy cause"

the performance of the musical ex-

which Miss Clarke has prominent
part, Misses Laura Margaret Hoppe
and Mildred Brown, and Lieutenant
and Mrs. R. H. Mcintosh came be-
hind the scenes to greet her. They
had not even known of her going on
the stage, but had recognized her in
her part. Miss Clarke is in an ex-
ceptionally good company, and tho
roughly enjoys her work.
Marietta is keenly interested in
watching the career of this brilliant
young woman.

INCOME TAX DRIVE
NOW UNDER WAY
Collector Blalock Says He Will Send
Men To Central Locations To
Aid Taxpayers of State

The big Income Tax drive of 1919
is now under way, and every prep
aration is being made to handle the
largest collection in the history of
Income Tax II am not waiting for
the final passage of the new Revenue
bill by congress-" said Collector Bla-
lock recently, "nor for the new reg
ulations and blank forms to be issued
To get this big tax in and get it
accurate and complete, urge that
we all begin now"
"The income tax obligations i'm
posed by the old laws, as well as the
measure now in congress, consist of
two distinct operations. One is, to
file return or statement of all items
of income and items of reductions
allowable by law, and to do this with
in the period named by law. The
other is, to pay the tax, if any is due.
Neither of these obligations can
be met without a careful review of
income and expenditure for the tax
year. That is the big job right now,
and that is why say the Income Tax
drive is already under way. Every
where the pencil is busy. The old
year is done; all it's fruits are CLEAN
ed; and everywhere persons who far
ed well, or earned a good competence,
must analyze his own case in cold fig
ures.
"When the new bill is enacted into
law, / will have the proper return
forms distributed throughout the dis
trict, and everybody will be informed
of the date when the sworn return
must be filed. 1t is my plan to send
my men out to central locations, and
to have them travel through the dis
trict, aiding taxpayers in the prepa-
ration of the returns and in deciding
doubtful points. We will go right to
the people with the income tax, and
with the cooperation the public can
give the government men, the returns
will be filed by everybody who comes
under the laws provisions, the right
taxes will be paid, and the district
will have done it's full patriotic duty
toward the governments support.
Meanwhile, let me again say, that
there is no need of delaying the
preparation of figures. Anything that
congress does now will not affect the
amount of a persons earnings for
1918. Let us avoid the belated throw
ing together of figures that may hit
or miss. Guesses cannot be accepted

INTERESTING MEETING
OF THE u. D. Cs.

Mrs. B. T. Frey entertained the
Kennesaw Chapter on Tuesday at
ternoon. There was good attend
ance and a particularly interesting
meeting was held.
The Chapter voted to send $500
to Mayor Brumby as it's contribution
to the Municipal Hospital which is
to be started here as a Memorial to
our soldiers and sailors. This is the
very first money actually given to
Mr.. Brumby for this purpose, though
much has been promised, and the
Chapter is justly proud of the fact.
No band of ladies has done fuller
war work than the U. D. Cs, for
among no people does the pure flame
of patriotism burn brighter than IN
the Daughters of the Confederacy.

EARLY LEGISLATION
ON ROADS PROBABLE
State Highway Engineer Tells of
Plans Being Presented for the
Building of Good Roads

By invitation, Mr.. w. R. Neel, the
state highway engineer, appeared be-
fore the meeting of the county COM
missioners OH Tuesday, and made a
statement as to the status of the APP
plication for government funds for
work on the western branch of the
Dixie Highway.
He said that the project had been
approved and in his judgement the
funds would be available in about
60 days from this time. The esti-
mate for this work was about $35, 500
and the government is to furnish
half the money. The county by doing
the work on the basis of contract
or may reduce this percentage by the
profit allowed for the contractor in
the estimate.
Mr. Neel, in response to questions,
advised the board to make application
at once for funds for any further
projects, as some eight months would
be necessary to put it through, and
advised that they disregard any pos
sible new road legislation, as appli-
cations put in before, would be given
precedence, even in event of change
of laws.
He told of recent conferences in
the state on road affairs, and read
an outline of proposed road legisla-
ton submitted by the State Automo-
bile Association, which he said was
we'll in line with most of the other
plans being talked of.
This plan provides for an auto
mobile tax ranging from $14 to SIG
which should be applied to state
road fund. A bill now in Congress
will provide $4,5OO,O0O of road
money for Georgia this year, and
the state must put up a like amount
1t is proposed to build state highways
and keep them up with this fund, these
highways to connect every county
site in the state, and thus leave all
local funds for work on the cross
roads in the counties.
Legislation will be necessary to do
this, and even change in the con-
stitution of the state to enable the
state to build the roads.
Mr.. Neel was optimistic as to the
outlook for early action in Georgia,
and said that in recent trip through
the state he found the people were
being thoroughly aroused, and that
the press of the state was unanim-
ously in favor of action now.

MORE COMMENT ON
SCHOOL QUESTION

Editor Marietta Journal:-
You are in error in supposing that
the card of the Board of Education
last week assumed that it had found
loose cog in the EDITORS Uranium.
The Board understood that a great
many people had lost their pipes and
boilers, and the card asked the ques-
ton whether the editor placed all
these good people, including himself,
along with the authorities of the
school system, in having loose cogs.
We did not think so, and the form
of our questions showed that we did
not believe this to be true, but that
the accidents resulted in spite of
reasonable precautions exercised by
careful people. 1t seemed to us how
ever, that if we were to be branded
as running with loose cogs that you
would necessarily put these other peo-
pie and yourself in the same class.
The fact is, we mentioned these things
as showing the unusual conditions in
our town and to give you an oppor-
tunity to say that perhaps you had
spoken hastily and without full
knowledge of the facts.
We hardly think it fair to hold
US up to the Washington standard.
Washington's appropriations for pub
lie buildings are not like Marietta's.
If we had the whole country to draw
upon we would likely be able to make
a better showing.
The present board did not install
the heating plant or the toilet sys-
tenn at the Waterman st. School, and
consequently are not responsible for
their virtues or vices. Much can be-
said in condemnation Of the arrange
ment of the toilet system, but the
board has no money with which to
put in a new one. Like most other
things, we suppose there are those
who would advocate the location Of
the toilets in the school building,
while there are those who think they
should be out of the building. AS
showing the very careful attention
given to the school properties, it is
stated that oil lamps were kept burn
ing in the toilet rooms at that school
throughout each of the cold nights.
Notwithstanding this precaution, they
froze up, causing inconvenience until
they were thawed out. There is no
other way for the heating to prevent
the freezing Ordinarily this is sue
cessful, but when the weather gets
down around zero it is inadequate.
Could we have obtained the ma
terial necessary to repair the boiler
at the Haynes Street school promptly,
the delay there would have been
small, but it took a whole week to-
get the material. Consequently we
lost O. weeks work at that school,
but it is now moving along nicely and
we hope to have no further inter-
ruptions this term. d. w. BLAIR,
For the School Board.
