TRYING TO DODGE THE ISSUE

1t is year lacking one month and
nineteen days since this Congress first
met at the call of the President, and
it has been in almost continuous ses-
sion ever since. To reduce taxes and
demobilize industry from a war foot
ing were among the stated objects for
which Congress was then called to-
gether. These were the things which
the newly elected Republican major
ity had been fairly bowling for a
chance to do before May 10 last and
holly charging the President with
preventing them from doing.
To-day, ten months and twelve
months from that time of furious
straining at the leash of usurping
President to get into action, the Re-
publican fiscal leaders of Senate and
House meet in an effort to agree upon
a policy of tax and cost-of-living re-
duction. A policy! Nothing of what
they were so frantically demanding
chance to do has actually been done
IN all that time, and now comes this
~NiiA SSoAcA Shdb lOI even policy IN
doing has been settled upon.
And what sort of policy is under
discussion? No war-tax reduction at
all, but some scheme of shifting war
taxes such as those on excess corpo-
rate profits to taxes on the peoples
consumption such as on retail sales
of merchandise.
Agreement to this extent seems to
be general. Disagreement exists on
~ over the question whether or not
such shift of taxes can be made to
appear to the people as operative at
all in reducing the cost of living.
But it remains the fact that the is
sue at this point is still tax reduction
and not tax shifting. The country
knows what it wants and what it
ought to have and the the Republican
majority in Congress has promised.
This conference of Republican fiscal
leaders will strive in vain to dodge
that issue.-New York Word.

PERHAPS THERE WILL BE
A WEDDING AT THE CIRCUS

The rumor prevails that a certain
young couple in Cobb county will
take advantage of the offer of fifty
dollars made by the Shriners and that
there will be wedding at the circus
here on Monday.
All the preachers are hereby mott
fed to be on hand inside the big top,
as there may be an opportunity of a
lifetime for them to take real part
in a real circus act-marrying a
couple.
We are pledged not to call any
names, as it might bring about some
opposition, but if they don't take
"cold feet" at either the evening or
the night performance there may be
added this feature Of loca interest.

NAVY OFFERS YOUNG
men VACATION TRIP
Expenses And Pay Allowed While On
Two Weeks Cruises This
Summer

The United States Navy is not
composed of the same type of men
who made up it's rosters ten and
twenty years ago, and although the
morals and habits of the men have
improved wonderfully it is not made
up of the milk-sop class which some
politicians have charged.
The boys are red-blooded Ameri-
cans and are far superior physically
than the "hardboiled" type of former
years, and in no other department of
our national life has it been so clearly
demonstrated that cleanliness of both
body and mind leads to strength and
not to weakness.
Notwithstanding the opinions of
such politicians as Admiral Sims
which have been spead abroad solely
for political effect, the navy did a
great work in the war, and stands
ready to improve every year.
Announcement is made from the
headquarters of the Sixth Naval Dis
trlct that the several destroyers now
at the Navy Yard and as many others
as may be necessary will be made
available for use in training the
Naval Reserves of this District.
1t is proposed to have a series of
two week cruises beginning about.
July LIST, and continuing through the
summer, if sufficient number of Re-
servists desire to avail themselves of
this splendid opportunity.
There are several thousand reser-
visits, in the states of Georgia and
South Carolina who were released
from service without having been
confirmed in their rating, and these
cruises are offered particularly to
these men in order that they NAV
qualify for confirmation and draw the
two months base pay each year as a
retainer pay.
The reserves who desire to make
this trip will be recalled to active
duty and furnished Transportation to
and furnished transportation to
Charleston where they will go on
board the Destroyer. At the end of
the cruise they will be furnished re-
turn transportation and will be given
the full sea pay of their rank for the
time on duty.
No statement has been made as vet
with regard to the itinerary of the
Destroyers on the cruises, but it is
more than probable that the Bermu-
das, Cuba and other West Indian
ports will be visited. 1t is certain
that liberal amount of the time will
be devoted to target practice and the
of big guns.
Those interested are urged to write
the Commandant as soon as possible
stating what dates will be best suited
for the trip, giving a statement as to
what qualifications, if any, the appli-
cant has for duty on board ship.
Locally, we will add that M. L. Nc
Neel, Jr., has been advised about all
the details necessary for going on one
of these cruises and he would be glad
to give this information to any of the
young men who think of making the
trip.

Yes, the Circus is coming to

A real Circus with monkey and
clown,
With streaks of yellow, and blue,

That appeal to children, young and

From around the world and back

To drive the dull cares of time

And make you child for Just one

WHY ONLY TWELVE PAGES

Newsprint in Georgia is now so
limited that no country paper has
more than a few weeks supply,
and none of them know when or
where they will get any more.
Some papers have been forced
to miss issues and we are striving
to save every inch of newsprint
possible so we ask our readers to
bear with our limited space for the
present.
We know how to get out good
paper and will do so when the pa
per supply in sight warrants it.

got so bad I can't see how I held out

sleep more than two hours. I lost
| weight until I was no more than a
shadow of my former self and I got
so weak I could hardly hold out at
my work during the day.
1T was just few weeks ago when
I commenced taking Tanlac and I
have improved SO fast that all my

me looking SO strong and healthy. I
have gained back all my lost weight

A Post. Hole Preferred

Whether the resolution introduced
in the national House for the i'm
peachment Of Post, the assistant
secretary Of the labor department,
be 'expedient," VIC have no question
it would be merited. Readers Of the
Journal may recall our comment
Jan. 2, on an article written by him
for The Independent. Present con-
ditions bear out the conclusions then
arrived at.
One Of the false premises on which
he based a fatuous appeal to class
prejudice was: 1.-THE worker of today
is the historical descendant Of the
serf Of yesterday and the slave Of
the day before" Any man with a
thimbleful of common sense knows
that sort Of talk is worse than rot"
Post either lacks the thimbleful or
the ordinary conceptions Of Ameri-
canism. In either event an admins
tration tolerating a representative of
that stamp must bear the odium.
We haven't confidence that depor-
tation is cure for that sort Of
thing, simply removing annoying
excrescences preparatory to further
treatment, and Post is one that
could well be dispensed with. He is
charged with interfering with the
application Of law to his class Of
snalcontents, with having allowed
Martens. the German who is con-
Quoting Russian propaganda in this
country. to 60 free on the recogni-
Eance Of his attorney, and but for
his assistance several of those who
have been trying through railroad
strike to start a revolution would
have been deported. it is said.
And It is worthy Of notice that
these views of Posts performances
are shared by some Of the Demo-
crafts.
