SEATTLE. Wash, Oct i2.-Former
President Taft, when shown the
statement made public by Governor
Cox at Springfield H.. said he ne
Gently had given permission for the
publication OF correspondence be-

during the drafting OF the League OF
Nations covenant lie also declared
he had repeatedly referred 10 the fact
that the President had consulted with
him when the league constitution was
being drawn and that there was no

when the subject OF publishing
the correspondence between the
President and myself was broached
TO me by an emissary OF the While
House ! promptly said 20 90 ahead, "
Mr.. Taft said
II had frequently referred TO the
correspondence myself and would
possibly have published 10 if it had
been my business TO do so"
Declaring ne had favored accept
ance Of a league without reservations
and expressing disappointment that
the United States has not become a
party 10 it. Mr.. Taft held the Presi-
deEt responsible for the defeat OF the
plan
"The President wrecked his own
league," he said. "He wrecked lt
with Article y. Of which he is the
author Personally, / would stand
for Article y, because ! am exceed

that the representatives OF the people

Executive he will not approve the

LIFTING
OF GA. TAX Limit
McLendon Has Plan To
Remedy Treasury
Trouble

ATLANTA, July 24--Georgia's
general assembly faces two contin-
gencies. 1t must authorize the gov
ernor to raise money in some manner
hitherto unknown to the state or it
must face the peril of having it every
appropriation bill vetoed by the chief
executive.
In this predieament a third con-
tingency suggested by Guyt McLen-
don, secretary of state, has suggested
itself to many as plausible. His sug-
gestion is that the assembly adopt the
resolution authorizing a referendum
on the repeal of the constitutional
amendment which limits the state tax
rate to 5 mills and pass an act au-
thorizing the governor to fix any
tax rate that the present financial
crisis of the commonwealth warrants.
While Governor Dorsey has not
specifically threatened to use his veto
power he shows that there is a casu-
al deficiency in the treasury, that the
state has no money and the govern
or's borrowing power has already
been exhausted, therefore no appro-
priation bills of any nature should be
passed by the legislature.
A special committee will draw up
recommendations for submission to
the legislature.

DR.. Bond Warns
Against Mad Dogs

A number of mad dog scares"
have been reported in various sec
lions of the county, and in the COM
munity about Leslie, several dogs sus-
pected of having rabies have been
killed. At Leslie there is one patient
taking Pasteur serum already, and
DR.. B. F. Bond yesterday asked that
attention of people be called to the
necessity for keeping close watch on
all dogs exhibiting suspicious symp-
toms. There are a number of worth
less ours that should be killed, any,
way" DR.. Bond stated, "and it would
be well if as many of these as posi-
BILE be disposed Of, There is always
more or less danger In keeping a cur
dog, and because of the presence
of these many fine hunting animals
and valuable watch-dogs are endan-
gered. During the summer months,
especially, it is important to keep
close watch on all dogs-and have
plenty of water where they can get it,
if you keep fine dogs" is the advice
of the county health officer.

Cost of Living Going
Down, U. S. Figures Say

ATLANTA, July 24--The cost of
living is going down in Atlanta, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment of labor, in a bulletin which has
just been made public by the depart
ment's bureau of markets, giving sta
tistics on living costs in fifty-three
different cities, the statement is made
that it cost two per cent less to live
in Atlanta during June than it did
during May.
The decrease in Atlanta compared
most favorably with living costs in
other cities. The average decrease du-
ring June was only one-half of one
per cent in Dallas, Philadelphia and
Savannah. In Charleston, Cincinnati
Little Rock, New Orleans and Nor
folk it was an even one per cent
Mobile had the same decrease as At
lanta, two per cent; while Jackson,
vile went them one better with three
per cent and Houston had the re
markable record of five Ner cent d.
crease,
However, it will take a good many
decreases like that to even matter,
for during the year as a whole, from
June 1919, to June 1920, Atlanta
had IA per cent increase, and il
the period from 1913 to 1920 living
costs in Atlanta leaped 112 per cent

same heavy hitters of the Leesburg
club gathered total of two hits for
as many bases, while the Leslie bat
tiers garnered more two-base hits than
they scored runs beavers, Hines,
Bass and W. Johnson each hitting for
one or more doubles.
Fuss pitched good ball, but the
Leslie team lived up to it's reputation
Of hitting when hits mean runs. Clark
pitched alright ball all the way and

but nearly every player fattened his
batting average at the expense of
Waller. Summerford, Leslie's star
third baseman, pitched and was effec-

after the game was won and the visi-

runs, not all earned, however.
The game was featured by the
heavy hitting of Deavours, Hines, R.
