TIL LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

The Atlanta Journal printed of it's pungent edo-
la4s under the above caption the other day, and SO
orcetuy did the writer brong the significance of the
statement of the famous statistcan Roger Babson
to conditions in the South, that we are reproducing the
editorial in full
In his tour of the South the noted economist
Roger Babson, especially impressed by the diversity
as well the richness of this regions advantages
1t abounds in COAL iron and power has excel
lent means of communication; and besides, agricul-
tura products of the kind that will be in larger de-
mand as the country wakes more prosperous.
Touching this last consideration, Mr. Babson saws
The per capita consumption of wheat the main pro-
duct of the Northern farming States does not increase
much as the people become prosperous. But the de-
mand for cotton beef and egumes increases very
much with prosperity AS the people become better off
they eat more vegetables Hence the great opportunity
of the South lies in diversified farming breaking up the
large tracts into small FARMS the introduction of good
stock, and the planting of more legumes. With the
finest agricultural opportunities in the country the South
today does not feed herself "
Particularly these observations true of GEORGIA
All the chief staples produced producabe with
in her fertile bounds cotton WOOL flax silk wheat corn
oats oarey rye cattle, swine poultry; and then such
a wondrous variety of vegetables and fruits as few
lands this side of paradise have known With all these
resources however, the State is not yet sefsustainnq
in the matter of foodsufs 1.-THE of her manifold
natural treasure developed. Georgians import millions
of dollars worth of products which lie latent all about
them and fail to export hundreds of millions which thew
could produce.
"These the very conditions however that mark
the frontier of opportunity Having the resources we
bring to the Development but by no strength or
skill could we create the riches with which nature
has endowed For those who share this DEVELOPMENT
goodly rewards are certain. No wonder Mr. Rabson
with his practical eye and seasoned Judgment declares
The young of the North should advise to go South
rather than West Certainly South Atlantic States
offer agrcutursly industraly and commercially better
opportunities to the young of today than does South
America-and know South America
To every young man in the north southeast
or West who Is interested in securing foothold in the
Land of Opportunities, the Georgia Association ex
tends an invitation to to Georgia and help deveop
w opportunities in the Empire State of the South

NATIONS NOT DISPOSED TO DIsARM

Adylces received in Washington from the League Of
auons at Genoa frankly state that the responses ree
by the League from the nations of Europe asking them
% disarm, limit their armament have been unavai
2g. The only outstanding exception to disarm was
he Washington conference. The League has therefore
rhaps rather reluctantly arrived the conclusion that
americas great influence, morally, commercially and
financially, throughout the world would compel the ma
1ons to reduce their ornaments when efforts of the
league would fail Thus told that the moral force
the League is insufficient to put its program or its
deals into force What interests factors exist in the
european nations to the reduction of ornaments
not discussed The world is simply asked to believe

A Psalm of Life

by an Unknown, with apologies to Longfell,
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Advertising is dream,
For the business man who slumbers
Has no chance to skim the cream.
Life is real Life is earnest
Competition something fierce;
If for dividends thou yearnest,
Learn the parry, thrust and tierce.
In the business field Of battle,
Mollyeoddles have no place.
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
Be live one in the race.
Lives of great men all remind rs
We can bring the bacon home.
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on another's dome.
Let us then be up and doing,
Otherwise we may be done;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Advertise and get the mon"

provides as follows:
Section 3. The following incomes
shall be exempt from income tax:
CD In the case OF a single per-
son. a personal exemption Of one
thousand dollars, or IN the case OF the
head OF a family. or a married per
son living with husband or wife. a
personal exemption OF two thou
sand dollars, provided. however that
husband and wife living together.
shall receive but one personal ex-
emption OF two thousand dollars
against their aggregate net income. "
1T Is clear from the foregoing
provisions that n the husband and
wife are living together they are en-
titled 20 an exemption OF two thou
sand dollars from their aggregate
net income.
Your difficulty undoubtedly
arises from the fact that our law
makes no provision for a consoli-
dated report on behalf OF husband
and wife; nevertheless II you can
ascertain from your records that the
parties are husband and wife, you
would be authorized, under the law
to allow the husband an exemption
OF seventeen hundred dollars and
the wife an exemption Of three hun
dred dollars.

I have avoided technical construc
