Damsel, on this festive date,

You attain the votes estate;
You're one-and-twenty.
Up your stairs I'd love to climb
With some costly, gem-encrusted
Trinket, were it not that I'm
Completely busted.
Let me, then, do what remains:
Drop the hint where all may con it,
Hoping that your wealthy swains
May act upon it.
Then, if some more solvent guy
Comes across with something nifty,
Just remember, please, that |

SEEKS TO ENJOIN
HIGHER ASSESSMENTS
BUTTS COUNTY is RESISTING IN
COURT PROPOSED INCREASE
OF FORTY PER CENT.

JACKSON, Ga.-When the in
junction proceedings brought by sew
eral taxpayers of Butts county seek
ing to restrain the board of tax as
SCISSORS from levying an increase of
40 per cent to the taxable property
of the county was called for hear
ing before Judge W. E. H. Searcy,
jr., Saturday the state asked for a
continuance. Judge Searcy set the
case for trial on September 25.
Several citizens of the county went
over to Griffin to be present at the
hearing. State Tax Commissioner H.
j. Fullbright asked for more time,
which was granted, and the hearing
will be held at a later date.
This case, it is declared, promises
to develop into one of the most i'm
portant brought in Georgia in a
number of years. Before the case is
finally disposed of, it is stated, the
entire law creating the tax equal
ization board will be tested, partic-
ularly with reference to the author
ity of the state tax commissioner to
order property values increased with
out giving property owners the right
to be heard.
1t is likely that the case will be
carried to the highest courts in the
state for final disposition.

Returns from all congressional dis

Fought on National Lines.
The state campaign was fought
out almost wholly on national lines.
Both parties sent into the state
many of their leaders, including the
two candidates for vice president,
Gov. Calvin Coolidge for the repub-
licans, and Franklin D. Roosevelt for
the democrats.
The chief issue which all these
speakers emphasized was the league
of nations, the republicans urging
rejection of the league covenant un-
less accompanied by strong reserva-
tions. and the democrats advocating
ratification of the league without
reservations which would change its
terms.

Reaction in Maryland

The Legislature of Maryland, now IN
session, is revealing somewhat surprising
evidence of change in public sentiment
in respect of national prohibition. Two
wears ago IL ratified, by large majority IN
each branch, the Eighteenth Amendment
to the Constitution OF the United States
This years Legislature Is controlled by a
majority in each branch of exactly the or
posite tendency.
The House of Delegates at Annapolis,
on Thursday, defeated. by vote OF oZ
TO 50. a movement to concur with the
Federal government in the enforcement OF
the Volstead law, that decidedly drastic
enactment BY Congress to enforce the
edict of the Eighteenth Amendment Tor
the eradication of the liquor traffic Also,
the House is considering, and is likely to
favor, bill to allow liquor content OF
81 per cent in beers and light wines, whicg
has passed to third reading. Tins law
would be in direct conflict with the Vol
stead law. which restrict the alcoholic
content of all veberagc drinks to one-haii
of / per cent. but actual hostilIues arc
averted by a provision that 1t shall not
become operative until after decision by
the Supreme Court that the States have
right to enact such legislation.
This sentiment in the MARYLAND Legs
lature must represent the sentiment OF the
people of Maryland to q large extent The
Legislature of 1918 was elected without
reference to the liquor question. Tins
wears body was chosen when the question
was fairly in view of the people. The result
tbs tina the dry Legislature OF two years
ago is followed by one decidedly wet. "
This object-lesson. coupled with resist
ance by-other States to national prohibi-
ton, shows that the issue Of absolute pro-
hibiti6h of alcoholic beverages is still an
omen one.

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE AFTERMATH IN GERMANY.

A probable result of the J,mker raid at
| Berlin, now in collapse, will be a swing in
| the German government and the National
Assembly towards the Left. But it will
not be a swing into Spartacism and Soviet
rule. Against that there are two forces
at work. First is the clear will of the Ger
man people, repeatedly manifested, not
to court destruction by succumbing TO
fsnaticism, whether il be Bolshevist or
monarchist. The other reason is that
a great many Germans who firted with
the Soviet idea arc now sobcred by revela~
tIons of what Soviet rule means in Russia.
Lenine's regime has won military pres
tige, but at the sacrifice of its Socialist
principles. The generals of the Red Army
are former officers of the Gar. The Com
missars in charge of such economic life as
survives in Russia are practical men of
affairs. Workers rule docs not exist in
the factories, Naturalization of COM
merce is made farce by the Illegal
trading which goes on openly. The great
mass of the Russian people, the peasants,
arc farther than they ever were from
Socialistic ideals. They have become
petty "bourgcoisie" of land owners.
Bolshevism in Russia has been successful
In maintaining itself TO the extent that IL
has de-Bolsbcvized itself. 1t is pretty
well recognized now that Lcnine, the
arch-internationalist,h has won his war by
appealing to Russian patriotism.
What, then, have the German radicals
to gain 10y plunging into Sovietism2 Under
the Workers Councils system the German
laborer will. have n control over industry
such AS the militarized factory workers of
Russia have not Under their Constitution
the Germans have democratic govern {,
ment such as the Russians under mi
nority dictatorship have not. And surely
the German workman finds no appeal in
the ruin and starvation which Bolshe-
vism brought upon the city masses in
Russia.
The German government will become !
moro Left by making concessions 20 the |
Independent Socialists. But IL will be |
in the sphere of democratic |
institutions operating under parlia- |
mentary regime.-New York Evening |

RANCHTNG IN THE ARCTICS.

An article published IN recent issue
of popular magazine sounds the alarm
cry about the destruction Of big game
IN Alaska-espe specially as Us alleged, are the
once sbounding herds of caribou being ex-
terminated even as the buffalo herds
Of the Western plains of the United States
were annihilated during the first half
of the last century Ii Is alleged also that
bears are being hunted throughout
Alaska in a progressively tensified way
that means nothing short of extermina-
tion within decade or so.
There is good basis for the hope, how
ever, that the really valuable animals
native TO Alaska and Northern Canada
can be saved through domestlcatIon and
human asslstance-In short by arctic
ranching, developed and conducted on
business principles StefanssOn IN his
report 10 the Canadian government
suggests that Northern Canada and
even many Of the big islands IN the Arctic
Ocean, may be made TO produce meat in
quantities that will feature IN the world
supplies The musk OK can doubtless be as
easily domesticated and reared on ranches
rs the buffalo or as domesticated cattle.
These animals feed not only on the arctic
grasses, but on moses that abound In the
far north. The reindeer introduced from
Norway into Alaska have thrived Won
derfully-they also eat the moss foods
that abound in the far north. There has
even been some degree of success in the
artificial breeding of foxes, and where
fish abound bears might be reared as an
Arctic substitute for she pig.
It is the known fact that the fur or
wool of the musk OK or caribou Is almost
as valuable for textile wearing as the
wool of the sheep. Ranching in The Arctic
pursued as n money-making business, may
seem to be a far cry, but it is a possible
proposition, and there is some imagina-
tive lure TO it-Baltimore American.
