Why, my brother, you might as well
talk about men sprouting wings and
flying straight to paradise.
"Not only this, but consider the
tremendous possibilities of the I'M
limited power of the legislature to
exempt property from state taxa
ton. Exemption of any class of
property from state taxation would
necessarily carry with it exemption
from local taxation. Thus you would
get up the most ferocious competi-
ton the state ever saw between rival
cities to get new industries and new
business concerns. Every city in the
state would hold out offers: Come to
US and locate and we will exempt
you from taxation.
"And another thought you ought
to consider is this: AS system of clas-
sifed taxation quite naturally will
tend to develop the spirit of class
consciousness and class feeling. That
my brother, is the deadliest menace
to civilization to-day.

CHOICE EXAMPLES OF
TURKISH "SLEUTHING'

One of the reasons for Turkeys
decay to the point of its present i'm
potence may be found in the Turks
disposition to regard himself among
his subject races as a castle of superb
or beings. This is a conclusion reach
ed by Melville Chatter, writing in the
July number of the New Red Cross
Magazine on Turkeys Wages of Sin"
The result, he finds, is that beyond an
army, now decimated and a govern
ment, the Turk owns nothing; COM
merce, shipping, finances and even the
very shops and hotels of his capital
are almost exclusively in the hands
of subject races developed into COM
petitive peoples.
This situation inevitably led the
Turk into difficulties, some of them
profoundly ludicrous.
sit is obvious" writes Mr.. Chatter,
chat so heterogeneously peopled a
state, based on a caste system and
headed by drones, could only be made
to cohere by consummate guile or
frank force. Abdul Hamid essayed
a Machievellian policy whereunder an
enormous spy system developed and
suspicion stalked everywhere. 1t is
still related how his officials confisca-
ted a box of toy soldiers-supposed
to be equipment models of some re-
evolutionary army-and deleted from
an importation of chemistry books

chief of the Intelligence CD Bureau
ingeniously interpreted as meaning

KENNESAW ANGLERS
HAVE A fine OUTING

We don't know the name of the
club or association of Kennesaw fish
ermen who are just back from two
weeks trip to fishing grounds, or
should we say waters, of Florida.
Two weeks seems to be about the
right length of time to go afishin'
properly. Nearly all the successful
trips are of just two weeks, in less
than that time they would not get
any fish, and if they stayed longer
than that, they would be absolutely
unbearable to the neighbors who
could not afford to go too.
So this was a two weeks trip just
the right time, and these were the
lucky anglers: B. H. Hill, E. G.
Hill, J. G. Lewis, J. P. MCGEE and
James Gray, of Kennesaw.
AS a scout, guide and general le-
gal, political and religious adviser of
the party, Mr.. R. H. Shackelford, of
Lake City, Florida, was induced to
go along. 1t was we'll, for he car
ried them safely through, and now
they are all back home telling the
story, which we will not attempt to
repeat, but this is what they caught.
One shark weighing 800 lbs, one
stingaree of 100 lbs, eight Tarpon
of 20 to 60 lbs, and all sorts of
small fish in great numbers.
The party went through in cars
and experienced no serious delay on
the roads.

GUY BATES POST COMING
Great American Actor Appears al
Grand January a

Tremendous interest attaches to the
coming of Guy Bates Post, the great
American actor. to the Grand,
Wednesday, January Z. in The Mas
querader," the greatest dramatic sue
cess of his extra ordinary career. Post
has triumphed in this medium in the
principal eastern and western cities
for the past two seasons and also in
Australia.
THE Masquerader" originally ap-
peared in book form and was written
by Katherine Cecil Thurston. 1t was
one of the most attractive novels of
it's period and achieved wide popular
ity. John Hunter Booth made the
dra ma tization and he has maintained
in the adaptation the same element of
suspense which did SO much to make
the book successful.
Post plays a dual role, most extra
ordinary one, as may be imagined,
with tremendous power and subtlety,
bringing to his interpretations all the
shades of his many sided art The
producer, Richard Walton Tully, has
provided Post with a notable support
ing company, including Alice John,
Clarence Handyside, Audrey Ander-
son, Reginald Darlington and others.

ADMITS No RIGHT
p. L. G.. Cannot Fix Gas Rate for
Interstate Concern.
Huggins Urges Immediate Re-
peal of Home Rule.

The public utilities commission has
no authority to fix the rates of the
Wichita Gas company because 1t is
engaged in interstate commerce. That
is the admission OF the commission
thru w. L. Huggins. For years the
commission has fought for right to
control the gas problem. but Huggins's
statement gives the public the plain,
simple, unvarnished truth without an
initial heavy drag on the state treas
ury for Investigations and experiment
al purposes.
In announcing that the commission
could not fix rates for the Wichita
company. which does an interstate
business. Huggins took exception to a
number of statutory provisions which
bind and restrict the operations of the
commission He urged that the home
rule provision be Immediately re-
moved from the act. He said the COM
had been misunderstood and criticised
thruout the state. II know the COM
mission is known as the damned util-
tiles board all over the state" Hug
gins said. But he believes the COM
mission can and will function and that
anne endments to a few select sections
of the state law will help relieve the
present strain.
Thru agreements between gas COM
pany attorneys and the various Kansas
cities served by the Wichita Natural,
the towns will pay the present thirty
cent rate until hearings in the federal
court are ended. Recently the state
commission devoted much time to the
taking of testimony in effort to
suggest a gas rate satisfactory to the
cities and the producing companies.
In a demand for an interim rate to
protect towns from loss of gas sup
plies however. the commission admit
ted that it could not enforce an order
against mandates of the federal court.
