The particular purpose of the act
was to help fifty counties of the
state which do not have an A grade

to encourage counties in the con-

In distributing the high school
fund, preference will be given first
to the fifty counties in question.
Where deemed advisable by the
board, the fund will be given to a

Georgia Farmers Urged
By Commissioner Brown
Not to OverpIant Cotton

Georgia farmers are, strongly
urged by J. j. Brown commissioner
of agriculture, in a statement given
out Saturday, not to over-plant in
cotton this year. He believes they
are on the threshold of their great
est year if they will hold themselves
down to a safe and conservative
limit in planting cotton.
every farmer should hold his.
cotton down to not. less than eight
acres to the plow," says Commits
sioner Browns statement. He
should plant early and cultivate in
tensively. In this way he will ac-
complish a two-fold result. by beat
ing the boil weevil and getting Il
good price for his product.
"Overplanting is not only bound
to. result in greater destruction by
the boil weevil, bu9 will have ten
dency to depress present prices as
soon as it becomes known. 1t will
affect not only the price of the

Senator Smith Puts

3D. 623 Riggs, Building.
BY THEOpCRE TITEER

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Hoke Smith put through the senate
today his resolution directing the in
terstate commerce commission to re-
port on living conditions of railroad
men at terminals, where engineers,
trainmen and others, are compelled
to ''lay over" for a day of night at
the end of their run. Georgia rail-
road men have protested that in
many cases it was difficult to obtain
rooms and board at these terminals
and this difficulty has added to the
cost of living. The purpose of the
Smith resolution is to ascertain
whether the railroads themselves
may not properly be required to pro-
vide quarters for their employees at
the end of their runs.

STATE Of GEORGIA S.
POLICY Of PASSING.
THE HAT ABANDONED.

That the state of Georgia has
| abandoned the policy of passing the
hat among taxpayers for voluntary
contributions to the expense of OPP
Grating the government, and instead
of this policy will apply a definite
percentage of assessment to the
property listed on the tax books, is
made quite plain to the tax officials
of the several counties in a booklet of
instructions mailed to them Saturday
by Henry ]. Fullbright. state tax
commissioner.
In other words, instead of allow
ing the tax officials of each county
to place upon taxable property
whatever percentage of valuation
they see fit, the state will insist upon
and will enforce a minimum stand
ard of valuation, and will not con-
sent to less than this minimum by
any county.
Commissioner Fullbrights booklet
of instructions contains some re-
markable statements concerning the
tax situation in Georgia. These
statements show that the valuation
of property returned for taXatio" is
a haphazard procedure, in which ev-
cry county acts for itself without
regard to uniformity of assessment.
Among the statements he makes are
the following:
1. That the returned valuation of
1882 ,623,5S0 is only 80 per cent of
the actual value of the property on
the tax books of Georgia, which ac-
tua1 value in round numbers is
So, 1000, 100000 .-..y ...
2. That ninetysiX counties are be-
low '32 per cent in their tax returns
for the year 1919.
8. That every county in the state
will be expected in 1920>-to observe
as a minimum 81 per cent in the val
uation of property, and that ninety
seven counties are below this mimi
mum. ..
4. That to bring up these ninety
seven counties to a minimum of IS
per cent of the actual value of their
returned property will produce an
increase of 100000 in tax val
ues, and that the other counties will
probably show a normal increase of.
10 per cent, amounting to $54, 900 600,
SO that the total Increased tax val
ues in 1920, as compared with 1919,
will be $225,000, 900.
5. That this increase in values will
produce at the states tax rate of
5 mills an increased revenue of
SLIPS, 900, and that increased reve-
nue. from occupation and inheritance
taxes is expected to run the total in
crease to $1,500,000, and that all of
this money will be needed to pay the
appropriations already made for
1920 by the general appropriation bill
which the legislature passed at the
1919 session. ~
6. That the relation of returned
value to actual value ranges all the
way from 20 to so per cent among
the counties of Georgia, those coun-
ties as low as. 20 per cent being:
Cherokee, Ebert, Gilmer, Green,
Henry, Houston, Jackson, Jones,
Lincoln, Madison, Monroe, Montgom-
cry, Morgan, Murray, Paulding,
Screven; Washington and Wilkes;
and those counties as high as so per
cent being Appling, Chatham, Chat
