ONLY ONE LEGISLATOR
ADMITS BEING CAPITALIST

ATLANTA, June 24.-Every train
rolling into Atlanta today is bringing
lawmakers and they will continue to
arrive until the last train tonight.
The general assembly of Georgia
opens tomorrow morning. The body
is larger by seven than any of Geor-
gia's former law-making bodies, as
new counties have been created which
were entitled to representatives.
There will be 254 of these summer
residents, representing about 20 diff
ferent professions or occupations.
There are many ex-mayors among
the number, many former presidents
Of county farmers unions, and not
ably large group of present or past
commissioners of roads and revenues.
Seventy-four were members of the
last legislature and a very large per-
centage have served in either the
house or senate before.
Lawyers are in the lead in the per-
sonnet of the two branches, there
being 73 all told. The farmers
and there are 68 of them, are the
next largest profession represented.
These two classes make up an over
whelming majority and then stray
Cling along come: Doctors, IL; mer-
chants, 10; teachers, 3; contractors,
l; millers, L; bankers, 8; manufactur-
ers, 3; real estate brokers, 3; edi-
tors, 2; stock-raisers, /; cotton en-
porters, /; automobile dealers, q;
preachers, 3; statesmen, | Only one
man admitted being a capitalist.
Many combine businesses so that
there are more occupations repre-
scented than are indicated, pvt the
figures will showt he general tenden-
cy in earning interests.
An outstanding feature OF Geor-
gia's incoming solons is their advo-
cacy of the Rooseyelyian doclihe.
One man says he has had twenty chill
!! cacy of the Rooseveltian doctrine
dren, which is the record, thong
there are others who can boast of
thirteen, of twelve, ten and eleven
children. Five members have fami-
lies of nine. There seems to be
preference among senators for seven
children, while the favorite number
for the representatives is four.
Those who are interested in the
religious leanings of their favorite as
semblymen may be surprised TO learn
that the Baptists have decided ma
jority in the legislature which opens
tomorrow. The Methodists come
next, while the staunch Presbyter-
ians come third.

the house and three for the same po-
sition in the senate were the busiest
bodies early today, with their trades,
combinations, alignments and coun-
ter moves. The aspirants for the
house job are: Thomas J. Luke, of
Ben Hill; James A Kendrick, of
Taliaferro; A. H. Haynes, of Gordon,
and j. A. Dennard, of Webster. Those
seeking the place in the senate are
T. L. Hooks, of Monroe, for re-elec-
ton; j. Flyn Margett, of Fulton, and
E. H. Beck, of Murray.
H. S. Davenport, formerly mem
Der from Hall, is out in opposition
to E. B. Moore for clerk of the house.
Sam l.. Olive is opposed for re-elec-
ton as president OF the senate by
James j. Flynt, of Griffin, while John
W. Bale, of Floyd, states that he will
have no opposition for speaker pro
tenn. of the house. Howard Ennis of
Milledgeville, likewise hopes to have
a clear field for speaker pro- tenn. of
the senate.
The session will be dry. Prohibi-
ton, political issue for time i'm
memorial, now is a personal one with
the solons. "Tisn't much" for them
now in Atlanta.
Among the important matters to
be considered at the session are the
highway measure including big bond
issue for roads, tax revision, the
creation of department of banking,
the airing of the request of the Geor-
gia Normal alumnae to remove trus-
tees, Russell, Gober and Rowe and
the vote on the Susan B. Anthony
amendment ratification, which will
probably be preceded by a brief
though spirited debate.

WARNS ATLANTA
OF REALCAPITOL
REMOVAL FIGHT

ATLANTA, June 24.-Declaring
that Macon is coming to the legisla-
ture with scores of members definite
lv committed to vote Tor her bill to
remove the capitol, DR.. l.. N. Huff,
well known optomerrist and mayor
atty aspirant, today declared that
'the time has come for US of At
lanta to descend from our eminence
of self-sufficiency and meet the issue
face to face"
He declares that Atlanta has failed
to take Macon seriously in regard to
the matter of removing the capitol
and that Macon, though only one
fifth as large as Atlanta, has given
US a lesson in civic unity, in single
ness of purpose, in persistent effort,
in daring ambition, in aggressive
team work. The next thing, he says
macon will be launching a drive to
pick up Stone Mountain by the roots
and transplant it on the heights over
looking it's business district. While
we have stood aloof in a sort of ma
jestic and self-sufficient attitude re-
garding the proposal to remove the
capitol, Macon has worked, shrewdly
and persistently, boldly and aggres-
sively. Mr.. Huff says;
"Now Macon is coming to the leg
islature with scores of members def
nitely committed to vote for her bill
to remove the capital She claims
she will get the two-thirds majority of
the house and senate necessary to
pass a constitutional amendment. The
time has come for US of Atlanta to
descend from our eminence of self
sufficiency and meet the issue face to
face.
Practically speaking, no reason
exists for removing the capitol, ex-
cept that Macon WAITS it.
Splendid craftsmanship on the part
of Macon, without competition on the
part of Atlanta, has almost persuad-
ed them to sign them names on the
dotted line.
"Unless state capitol be located
where the industry centers, where
the commerce centers, where the f.
nances center, where tn railroads

pair OF SKIES" SENIOR
CLASS PLAY, PLEASES LARGE
AUDIENCE FRIDAY EVENING

The presentation of that snappy
comedy "a Pair of Skies" by the
Senior Class Of the Sank Centre Pub
lie Schools Friday evening last week
was thoroughly enjoyed by an
audience that practically filled the
spacious Junior High auditorium.
Several of the students had had
previous training in amateur theatre
Gals, others had worked with the de-
batting teams of the school, and each
one responded readily to the very
clever coaching of the English teach
er, Miss Sprung. The result was each
one of the cast were easy and natural
in their parts and read their lines with
an understanding that was most
gratifying.
Farce comedy is rather a preten-
tious undertaking for bunch of
school students, but in the presenta-
ton of "a Pair of Skies" the Sank
Centre young folks did not miss a
single opportunity to score. The lit
tie details and the business" are i'm
portant in rounding out a smooth pro-
duction and Miss Sprung demonstrate
ed that she is a dramatic instructor
of merit. .-.,.
The Herald hasn't the space to take
up each character for separate dis
cussion but last Friday evenings en-
tertainnlent ranked right at the top
with the best ever produced by former
Senior Glass students of the Sank
Centre schools.

community who have known him his
entire life. John H. Hanson was for
many years employed by the firm,
but entered the employ of the Mer-

before he went into military service.
He has been casting atput for bust

soft drinks, ice cream, and similar
articles by individuals or organiza-
lions, sch as religious, educational
or charit;- e societies, on special oc-
casions CITY, church festivals, social
parties, etc, are not taxable; such
sales in stands, booths and similar
places, at agricultural fairs, racing
parks, public exhibitions, circuses,
shows and similar places are taxable.
The distinction lies in the fact of the
sale being made by person conduc.
ing place of business even though
temporarily. Sales of soft drinks, ice
cream and similar articles of food
and drink are not taxable when made
in the regular course of business at a
hotel or restaurant, unless such
articles are sold separate and apart
from the meals.
Under the provisions of the law the
tax must by paid by the purchaser in
all cases.

PEOPLE OF NINTH FEDERAL
DISTRICT WILL CLIP LIBERTY
LOAN BOND COUPONS TODAY

Today nearly one million individ-
uals, living in the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District will be expected to clip
coupons from the Liberty Bonds of
the Second ISSUE The total amount
owned inthis district, is S2.658,S47.
What will the people Of the North
west do with this great sum. of
money is the question which is just
now interesting the Treasury Depart
ment. If these two and one-half mil
lion dollars are taken out of the
governments treasury and put into
the ordinary channels of trade, the
government will be forced to sell just
that much more of certificates of in
debtedness or other securities because
governmental business is being con-
Quoted on borrowed capital and will
continue to be so conducted for some
time.
"There is one way in which the
owners/of Liberty Bond coupons can
advance their own interest and at the
same time serve their government,
and that is by investing these coupons
in War Savings Stamps" said Mr..
Rogers, Chairman of the Ninth Dis
trict War Loan Organization.
eve hope that a large percentage
of this interest money will be REIN
vested in government securities. In
a large majority of cases, the COM
paratively small sums going to in
dividuals will not be actually needed
by them, and by turning the money
back to the government they will be
practicing thrift, making a wise in
vestment for themselves and mater
tally helping the government to
finance itself. -
"In spite of the fact that we have
just successfully f1oated the Victory
Liberty Loan, the financial needs of
the Treasury Department are still
greater than the money available. The
proceeds of the Victory Liberty Loan
have been anticipated and the money
spent. While it is true that the ex-
penses are rapidly being reduced, they
are still immense and people will have
to continue to save and invest in
order to put the United States back
on permanent peace basis"

GAVE EXCELLENT PROGRAM
HERE TUESDAY EVENING

The Million Dollar Band, an organ;-
cation madei up of !, musicians who
served with Uncle Sans troops m
France, gave concer at. the Caughren
Theatre Tuesday evening to a small
but appreciative audience. The or
ganization is directed by Harold
Bachman and the program consisted
of high-class selections which were
repeatedly encored.
The lack of attendance was due to
insufficient advertising, in part, and to
the fact that many people did not
know of the real treat in store for
them. 1t may be many years before
Sank Centre people have the oppor-
tunity of hearing another concert of
this class in this city and it is to be
regretted that, the soldier boys met
with such a small audience upon this
occasion.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL
COLLECT TAX OF ONE CENT
ON KIDDIES ICE CREAM CONE

The government tax upon ice cream
and soft drinks which became opera
tive May first has been hard nut for
the dealers to crack and for the pub
lie to understand. The law provides
that there shall be tax Of 1 cent on
every 10 cent sale, or fraction there
of; however if purchaser ordered
two Is cents drinks at the same time
the tax would be 8 cents and not a;
if they were ordered separately the
tax would be cents. The dealer
must charge the little tots a cent tax
for ice cream cones. 1t is presumed
that the cone will be eaten at or in
close proximity to where the cone was
purchased. If you purchase quart
of ice cream and it is placed in the
usual container there is no tax.

NINTH FEDERAL DISTRICT
LEADS IN PERCENTAGE OF
MISREPRESENTATION.

The Victory Loan bond issue went
over the top with whoop on Satur-
day, the last day of the drive. Com
plete returns will not be compiled
with the secretary of the treasury
before May "a, but enough has been
reported indicating the sale has ex-
ceeded six billion dollars. With over
subscription of at least a billion and
half.
Herald readers are more particular
ly interested in what Stearns county
did. Well, the old county went over
the top by about $4,000, thanks to
the very liberal response from the
cities, towns and villages. st. Cloud
was assessed 100000 and subscribed
$5S5,O0O; Sank Centre oversubscribed
to the extent of 641a per cent, sub
scribing $118,70O with an allotment

Saturday evening and Chairman
Schoenhof hopes to put his district
in the honor roll. If you haven't tax

The Ninth Federal district formed
habit in the beginning of leading the
country in the Victory Loan drive.
Every county of the 223 in the district
has raised the quota and the total
subscriptions will reach $180,000, 1000.
Regardless of whether this district
reaches her full quota or not is has
made a splendid showinf and Chair
man Schoenhoff is entitled to con-
gratulations over the fine record made
in the Victory Loan. In the Fourth
Loan drive the district was short
about $4,000 when the returns were
all in, the Herald understands. The
following figures shows the amount
raised in each precinct of the district:

The local school board have signed

After faithful service in Sank Cen
tire for eight years Miss Alice Quigley
retires. She will be greatly missed
not only by the students but by the
citizens of the town.
The last session of the Minnesota
legislature cut out the apportionment
OF special aid for the manual training
departments Of the state. The Herald
believes this is a serious mistake as
there is perhaps no other branch Of
school work having as strong a hold
on the by as manual training.
Many of the schools are forced to
eliminate this department and Sank
Centre is seriously considering this
step. While the school tax ratio is
high other departments could be
sacrificed if need be rather than the
manual training department.
