County citizens held an informal ballot last week
ON the question Of maintaining county agents,
nome economic agent and a county health officer.
against all of which overwhelming maiorities reg
istered their votes. It would appear that DESPITE
the extensive help these agencies have been in
me RAPID development OF CoIquitt resources and
ITS citizenship, the voters OF the county fail to ap-
preciate them
1t IS true CoIqutt county has exceeded all of her
sister counties in the quasi educational work done
by these agencies and at quite large expense to
the taxpayers. and it was thought that in their
work they had full cooperation OF majority OF
the citizens, This seemed to have been mistake
Judging from the results Of the straw ballot on the
question of retaining these agents 1t is said that
only one township in the county gave the agents
a majority.

4 SUGGESTION TO THE LEGISLATURE


The Legislature is in quandary, seeking for way
to raise revenue without affecting the already bur
dened tax payer. The proposed tax on incomes,
levied by the State,along the lines laid down by
the Federal government, will never become popu-
lar with the people OF Georgia and will surely en-
courage the already entrenched system OF tax eva
sion generally practiced in the state. Is there any
good reason why the state should not earn in part
at least its current expenses?
Since it is well established rule that certain
quasi public functions should and for the protec-
ton OF the people, must be regulated by state
laws and supervised by state officials, it wouldn't
be very lar step to make these same officials take
ever the management for the state say, Of the
tire insurance business Every business man and
assured property ownerelnows that the average in
sured properly rs INSURED Tor several times more
than the value for which the property is returned
for city or state and county taxes
Obviously tins is either fraud on the insurance
companies or an evasion Of the taxes; in either
case repprehenslble What can the state do?
SIMPLE law Voiding the pohcies in excess Of their
taxable vaiVcs ON all personnel property or i'm
proVements, would at least secure Tor the state
and city valuation for tax purposes, equal to the
insured value Of the property If the state would

Women and

THERE is nothing so important

"HEhE is nOCnlnS so important
as getting married.
And it is the one affair we
continue to trust to blind instinct.
If young man arrives at mar
riageable age there is no dependable
organization in society where he can
go to get him wife. He must take
his chance in the lottery among the
eligibles Of chance.
We have been so saturated with
romanticisim that we are quite in
tolerant with any person or organiza-
tion that presumes to meddle with
two young hearts. We go on the
theory that they are divinely led and
no one should dare interfere, not
pven parents.
And this theory is far from salts

wrecks.
We speak of the divorce question,
but really there is none; it is mar
yiage question.

better solved does not yet appear.

made a public address in London on
the amazing interest of the Amer

He said that the "heroic efforts in
Prussianism" made by the British
Government in Ireland, Including
the suppression in Cork County OF
even purely educational agencies, D."
were only mentioned in news items
of few lines in the London papers,
but full details were published in all

/, This applies as much to the pro-
I English journals as to the Hearst news
papers, which usually have the largest
sale in every city from New York to
San Francisco.
"If we do not stop this provocative
government policy with regard to Ire
land it is perfectly clear to me that we
will be at war with America within ten
years.

The London correspondent of the
New York World now cables the
surprising statement that
president Harding's benediction for

distasteful to the coalition cabinet. The
creation of the distress in Ireland which
, Americans are asked to relieve is set
policy of the British government at this
time as its chief reliance in reducing
Ireland to subjection."
Another pro-British correspondent
of the New York evening paper
