Senator Borah (Idaho) introduced 81
bill to-day to limit the dividends of
joint stock banks to per cent. All
profits In excess OF per cent. would be
paid into the Federal Treasury. The
measure would not affect Federal Land
banks which are cooperative concerns of
which the stock is owned by borrowing
farmers.
Senator Borah said he was influenced
TO introduce his bill after hearing an
address by Farm Loan Commissioner
Lobdeil In Chicago last Angus; when he
said to the joint land bank represen-
tatives: Your institutions enjoy a
subsidy the like OF which has never
been granted to another enterprise un-
der the Stars and Stripes"
According to Senator Borah some
joint stock banks are now making 12
per cent. and their stock is selling as
high as S14o per share. His measure is
framed, he adds, to apply only 10 those
banks which are privately organized
corporations owned by private investors
and operated for profit.

! Critics OF the Governments policy OF

4 in a statement issued tonight by Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Mellon. Those who
have accused Mr.. Mellon and the Adj
minstration of shielding the wealthy in
their tax obligations were said by Mr..
Mellon to be making an appeal to class
prejudice"
Secretary Mellon took particular ex-
ceptlon to the utterances of Gov. Blaine
of Wisconsin, In a speech here Saturday
night. Gov. Blaine took issue with Mr..
Melons statements contained in letters
written to Representative Frear explain
ing why the Internal Revenue Bureau
under the law could not have reached
! the undistributed surplus of the Stand
ard OIL and other large corporations.
when such surplus was accumulated
from earnings needed to conduct the
business.
After referring to Gov. Blaine's charge
hat the Treasury Department is allow
ing the rich to cheat the Government,
Mr. Mellon said:
The Internal Revenue Bureau Is ad-
ruinistering the law impartially in its
application to large corporations and
wealthy individuals. as we'll as to others.
My letters to Mr.. Frear definitely ex-
planned the question OF taxation as ap-
piled to stock dividends and corporation
surpluses. The taxes imposed by exist
ing law are being completely enforced
TO fullest extent which the law pre-
scribes and any further action in this
respect would have to be In the nature
of new taxes levied by CONGRESS. But
he reiterated his attacks with assertions
irrelevant to the issue and now Gov.
Blaine distorts my statements and en-
deavors to portray an injurious situa-
ton which does not exist.
Criticism of public officials and their
administration where there is laxity and
ineffective service in the conduct OF office
is commendable and useful to the people,
but when wholly unjustifiable and with
out any basis of truth is harmful. as In
this instance, which can only be under.

THE VARIETY WORKS
HAS A COSTLY FIRE
MACHINE SHOP is BURNED AT
A LOSS OF 100000. HAD
NO INSURANCE.

A spectacular blaze, which in a very
short time after the alarm was given
destroyed the machine shop of the
Dawson Variety Works about 4
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. caused a
loss of $500 or $4,000 with no in
surance
Officials OF the company and the
fire department have been unable to
determine definitely the cause of the
fire, but it is believed by some that it
originated in the kerosene engine used
to operate the machinery. Others hold
to the idea that the exhaust pipe be-
came red hot and set the building on
fire.
Flying sparks fell on the roofs of
buildings adjacent to the destroyed
property located near the Central of
Georgia railroad station and the
smouldering fires continued to break
out on different premises at intervals,
which made it necessary for the fire
fighters to respond to four calls be-
fore the danger was over. The prompt
work of the fremen prevented the
loss of the entire Variety Works
plant and probably saved much other
valuable property. The fire attracted a
large crowd, and traffic in the vicinity
was almost blocked by the large num-
Der of automobiles.
Mr.. A. J. Baldwin, the owner of the
Variety Works property, suffered a
heavy fire loss several years ago, when
the plant was completely destroyed.
1t has not yet been determined what
steps will be taken in the matter of
rebuilding the machine shop.

We might state here that we have
compiled Eddie Wades average for
the whole season above, since he Join
ed the club last time he has been to
the bat 81 times and garnered IS hits
for an average .351.
The season as whole has been fine.
We might have come out better fnan-
cially had we been able to carry out
the original schedule. Our games with
Benning and Cuthbert cost us worlds
of money, but they couldn't be helped,
as other teams cancelled the games
we had with them. The officers of the
club this year have been tireless in
their efforts to give US winner and
they collectively and individually de-
serve and should receive the thanks
of Dawson fandom. We have had
winning team at about half the cost
of the surrounding towns, and with
any kind of treatment from the towns
that cancelled the games we would
have come out on top financially. AS
it is we know we are going to have
a ball team next year, so let's get or
ganized earlier in the spring and start
right from the beginning with per-
fected and systematized organization.
Hap Henderson can certainly dish
'em out for our jack any day he wants
to. This boy had worlds of stuff and
he knows when to use it. The feat OF
,twirling two consecutive days against
such adversaries as the Arlington
bunch is no mean trick, and it takes
steel heart as we'll as an arm. We
cast our ballot right now for Hap to
be with us next season, and we want
to congratulate the officers again on
securing such a hurler for the final
week.
To the fans who have really made
the team and the success Dawson has
enioyed this year, we want to say
this: each and every one OF the loyal
supporters who have encouraged the
team and at times knocked them have
really been responsible for the final
glory. Right here we want it known
that a little knocking by the fans is
more valuable than otherwise and to
the fans that have brought out Their
hammers, it is we'll that you did so.
We have the reputation OF the best
ball town in Georgia, and to support
this every player always wants to re-
turn. The players are going from here
to SanderSv1lle to play Tor tnat city d
week. The people OF that place should
be proud to secure such an organiza-
ton of skilled performers and above
all gentlemen. Here's wishing the best
of luck to you, boys, in anything you
NAV endeavor to do, and hoping that
when the bell rings here next season
that every one of you will be in your
old positions at Baldwin park. You
have shown yourselves to be all Tor
Dawson and anything we can do tor
YOU in return is yours for the asking:
We can claim the championship OF
south Georgia and back our claim. We
have won a series, lost series and
tied a series with Albany. We have
decisively trounced Arlington, who in
turn have beaten Albany and Moul-
trie. We lost one series to Moultrie
and won the only game played here,
We lost one to Fitzgerald but won
there, and Albany has just finished
winning three straights from them. SO
taking everything into consideration,
II Arlington wins from Albany this
week, why are we not champions
