lected and appointed by the state tax author
tiles. Instead of an increase OF 40 per cent, as
demanded by the state tax commissioner, in
creases of only II per cent on land and 20 per
cent on merchandise were allowed. No other
items were increased and the total increase
by the arbitrator in the tax values of
the county amounted to only about 5
per cent The people of Terrell county have
no quarrel with the tax commissioner and
commend him for his zeal in administering
his office. They believe, however, that he
was badly advised and misnformed and a
board of prominent Georgians men of affairs
and wel-informed, who came here to official
ly inquire into the matter found that view to
be correct.
AS The News has said before, it is time
for some statesman to take short cut to
fame by proposing economy or a reduction
of expenditures instead of seeking to raise
tax levies and to invent new forms of taxa
ton. The concern Of nearly every one who has
anything to do with taxes seems to be how
to get more money Taxes and more taxes,
revenue and more revenue, is the cry and
urge. All the ingenuity and cunning of man
is brought into play to find means to impose
taxes. How long can the dear people stand
the upward trend of taxation? How long can
they endure the existing burdensome taxes?
There must be a limit somewhere beyond
which it will not be safe to go.
In this connection we reproduce below
timely utterance from Hon. Jacob Phinizy the
we-known banker of Augusta, who is season.
ed in business and recognized as one of the
best financial brains in Georgia. 1t is an extract
from an interview given the Macon Tele-
graph, which has recently printed the views
OF number of Georgia's foremost men OF
affairs concerning present conditions and the
needs Of the state 1t is worthy of far more
than passing. attention, for no man has had
better opportunity to know and weigh con-
ditions as he has analysed them. Mr.. Phinizy
says:
"In Georgia in my opinion the reason for
outside investment not coming is due to the
fact of some weak laws that have been
passed in recent years i'll addition to high
taxes. We are over-ridden with taxes, and
the money in my opinion is not judiciously
and wisely spent. The result is that the ap-
preparations every year are being ncreas-
ed. Georgias population does not grow sui
ficiently to warrant these increases, and our
people cannot prosper and outside capital
will not be attracted to this state under
these circumstances"
Why should not all governments, of high
and low degree, shorten their programs bit,
or at least hold them in allegiance, and give
the humble taxpayer chance to catch up
with the procession?

Moon Feast In China.
Even Poorest in Cathay Have Their
Moon Cake.

The moon of falling leaves takes prom
inent place in the mid-autumnal festival cele-
brated in the howery kingdom, according to
a writer in the North China Herald. Under
a respondent moon, accompanied by offer
ings of fruit, the ceremony is widely celebrat-
ed. There are feasts and rejoicing which reach
traditional height at midnight the hour for
worshiping the moon. The very poorest have
their moon cake, a delicacy obtainable only
at this time OF the year There are lighted
lanterns attached to poles on the roofs, and
fire balloons with strings of crackers are dis
patched aloft
The Chinese owe their festival to the EN-
peror Tung Ming huang and his magician in
chief. 1t is reported that one evening this en-
inent couple adjourned TO the palace yard to
view the full moon and the magician, cast
ing his rod, converted it into bridge and
bade the emperor cross, and so transported
him to the moon Like a good tourist he
made haste to visit all places of interest and
in due course arrived at the palace of the
moon Here there was an entertainment in

ROCKEFELLER's GENEROSITY.

The contribution of $1,O0O,OO0 to the Eu-
ropean relief fund by John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
is characteristic of Rockefeller generosity.
When it comes to giving the Rockefelers
father and son, do things in a large way.
1t has ceased to be dangerous to speak
kindly of the Rockefeers. There was time
when it was the fashion to berate them. But
by their good works they have been seen OF
men, and it has been revealed that they have
sincere desire to use their wealth for the bene-
fit of mankind. Few men have exhibited such
wisdom in the administration of large accu-

Rockefeller He has put his millions to work
for the benefit of humanity, and they will con-
tinue to do work long after he has become
dust He has made full confession of his
stewardship. He has recognized that he is
only the custodian of the funds that have
come into his hands, and that it is his duty
to return them to the people from whom they
came for their use and benefit. And his son.
