ATLANT, March 15.-Seven young

While working in his field, he no.

row in a torpid state with its body
much swollen. Killing the snake and
cutting it open, Richmond found sew

evidently been stolen from the nest of
setting guinea or setting hen
Carefully placing the eggs under a
setting hen in his nearby barn, Rich

to find seven little guineas Matched
out and happy.

PUT THE ROAD TAX
ON GASOLINE

1t you are so fortunate as to
own a Ford it costs you SLIPS
tor llscence and tag this year.
The principle underlying this tax
is that Ford will wear out that
much road in one year, whether
you use the Ford or not. If you
ride lOO miles the tax is just the
same as if you rode 10000 miles.
The injustice of this tax is so ap-
parent that no one will attempt to
defend it. Why not levy tax
on every gallon of gasoline sold
at-retail. This is wearing out the
roads.

We are glad to publish the letter
because it is our whole desire to keep
the records straight, and give our
readers the facts just as fast as we
can get them together, for this most
important subject of transportation
must be settled, like all other ques-
tons RIGHT.
Our error, if indeed it is one, in the
editorial referred to lies in the fact
that we in common with the average
citizen had fallen into the habit of
thinking the government in reality
relinquished the roads on September
LIST, 1920, at which time, however, it
simply stopped its guarantee to make
good all losses.
In other words, the last increases,
both of wages and transportation
charges were made while the gov
eminent was paying the bills, and
those of us who remember the press
dispatches of last summer when the
hearings were going on before the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
an advance in both passenger and
freight rates will recall the fact that it
was generally understood that these
increases would take care of the last.

effective on May fst, 1920.

than industry can bear, although
it is more than the. A. B. and
A. railroad, operated as it is at
present, can afford to pay.
1t is absurd to expect that a line
of railroad in an only partly de-
veloped section of the country
can pay the same returns as one in
a fully developed section of the
same country. 1t is economically
unwlse to make wage scales in
fully developed sections higher
than in poorly developed sections.
That would forever prevent de-
velopment of sections like South
Georgia because no one would
come here to work, and the al
ready crowded sections would be
further crowded. 1t is the econ
omically wise thing to have the
wealthy, well developed sections
OF country share the burden of
developing the other sections Of
the same country.
How?
What is government for.
Why do millions of people of
different religions, and business
interests, and different racial her
ltages, ally themselves into a body
polite such as the United States !?
Why do they pay taxes to support
the government and send their
fellows to jail when they break its
laws?
Why should not all the people
pay for what all the people get?
Why should the expense of max
ing South Georgia worth ten
times as much as it is now to New
England and California, be born
entirely by South Georgia?
1t should not.
Government ownership Of rail-
roads will make possible an equit-
able distribution of the cost of
national. development and Ii,
provement. Government . re
ship of railroads will enable
transportation profits in one sec
ton to pay transportation losses
IN another. Government owner

Rumors that Fred Beauvais will ap
pear at the next hearing of James A.
Stillman's divorce suit were strength
ened yesterday when the French Cana
dian guide whom Mr.. Stillman named as
correspondent, asserting that he was
the father of Guy Stillman, closed his
home and left Montreal, ostensibly for
New York.
Beauvais's departure followed an in
terview with a group of Mrs. Stillmau's s
representatives at Windsor Station.
Intimate friends of the guide in Mont
real refused to discuss the matter,
declaring that TO give his destination
or the names of persons he had met
probably would affect the case.
Charles Wallace, of counsel for Mrs.
Stillman, went to Montreal for the
purpose, it was said. of persuading
the former superintendent of the Still
man estate on the st. Maurice River
to come to New York to testify IN Mrs
Stillman's defense. In interviews
given in Canada Beauvais has ex-
pressed his readiness to do SO and has
asserted that parts of letters intro
duced by Mr.. Stillman are forgeries
His brother, Arthur, has attended pre-
vious hearings in the case as inter
prefer.

who directed him to the East Twenty
second Street police station.
Tompkins first called up the freight
company. Another truck WAS just 1eav-
ing for an East River pier, driven by
Russell Leach, whose usual run is be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
When Tompkins reached the police sta
tion. three detectives were at once sent
out to look for his truck. This was be-
fore III o'clock.
Leach drove directly across town.
AS he was going along South Street he
saw the missing machine standing IN
front Of jackson Park, which faces the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
waterfront freight depot. The load of
cloth and silks had been removed and
the truck abandoned.
Truck Is Identified
Leach telephoned to the company's
garage, and the news Of the finding of
the abandoned truck was transmitted
TO the East Twenty second Street sta
ton. Detective Peter Brennan and
Tompkins, the driver, went down to
South Street at once, whore Tompkins
identified the truck as the one he had
driven from the garage two hours be-
fore.
The records of the freight company
show that the pieces of merchandise
the truck contained ranged in value
from $50 to $4,000. The entire load
was insured
This is the sixth truckload Of goods
stolen from the company in the last
two years. In each case the truck was
found eventually somewhere about
town, after the thieves had either sold
the contents or delivered them to
"fcnce" and then driven the vehicle to
some convenient location and aban-
doned it.
