Should Marietta be Hampered
By Debt? Leave it to the People.

By Debt? Leave it to the People.
Marietta, through purely an unfortunate circum-
stance with (which local people are familiar finds
current indebtedness against the city of $40 sos 90
The chairman Of the city finance committee says
there is way under the high heavens to pay out
unless we get an increased revenue" He suggests
a special legislative act that Marietta taxes may
be increased to care for this indebtedness
The president of the Georgia Senate Marietta
citizen says he cannot recommend a Legislative act
to increase the tax rate unless he is majority
of Marietta citizens are for it-and there you are.
Leave it to the people 1t is true that taxes are
high, but it is also true that city is no stronger or
better than her citizenship. A way should be pro-
vided to pay off this Indebtedness that the ctys fu
ture progress may not be hampered
Probably never before in the history of Marietta
has there been such noted effort put forth to bring
this city into the front ranks of progressiveness-
make of it better place in which to live and more
profitable place in which to carry on business activ-
tiles
Conservative and business-like handling of the
city business and the city finances the Journal be-
ieyes is assured. The city administration is com
posed of our best citizens and our abes men and f.
nanciers
Leave it to the people. DO we wish to be bur
dened with debt that takes yearly interest toll
of $500 out of the city, will we ''chip in our
mite" and pay off this debt and save the interest?
Taxation is seldom the big bug-bear that we would
believe it to be. As a matter of fact those who are
unable to pay taxes, have very little tax to pay
Those who are fortunate in having taxable property
well afford to contribute to the general upbuild
ing of their city, their state aud country It's al
investment, probably not always bringing back tC
the glver direct financial return, but bringing 6
greater measure of service in all that is good in life
Better streets, better school, better municipal ser
vice of every knd-that' S what we may reasonably
expect from the tax money-and this means a great
er city with higher value on property Directly
or indirectly our tax money is returned to u.s. either
in actual cash in hand or in greater good and better
living conditions
1t is bad for any business to be burdened by debt
and forced to Scrmp every hand to meet the in
terest and current bills 1t is equally as bad for tn,
city-which after all, is incorporation, in which
every citizen is a stakeholder
Leave it to the people. 1t is unusual that ques
ton of merit, intellgenty presented fails to find
just settlement at. the hands of the people

UNREASONABLE HIGH

Freight rates should down to where the people
could at least see them shipment weighing only fifty
five pounds carried freight charge of $216 from Chi
cago to Dalton. Of this is the 100pound rate
but it is outrageously hgh-almost akin to robbery
And again, why should the railroads be allowed to charge
for weight they do carry? For two cents the
shipment would have been delivered by express.
In buyer of goods must pay drayage the freight
rate here cited is higher than the express rate That
costs the shipper to get the goods in his
house by freight than it does by express.
We submit that this is all wrong and that freight rates
are today doing to keep business from booming than
any other factor In doing this the railroad execu
tyes are choking their institutions while holding up
the shippers. 20 =
