From Southern Ports

T-HERE is world of significance in the
news that from seven ports of the
South Atlantic and Gulf States there
will be, in the course of October. as many
as five hundred and eighty-six saifngs to
foreign lands-to continental Europe one
three, to the United Kingdom seventy-five,
to the Far East siXty-two, to South America
thirty-nihe, to Mexico thirty-six, to the West
Indies other than Cuba thirty-thEee, to
Central America, thirty-one to the Med
iterranean twenty-five, and to the Pacific
coast thirteen. These figures are for
ports served by the Southern Railway Sys-
tenn, namely, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah,
Brunswick, Jacksonville, Mobile and New
Orleans.
1t was in the midst of the World war,
when congestion at North Atlantic terminals
grew insufferable, that the ocean gateways
of the South began coming into their own.
What careful observers long had perceived,
that the ports of this region lent themselves
admirably to certain lines of foreign trade
which had been bound by artificial and arbi-
trary means to over-crowded points in the
northeast. The Government broke some of
the letters by bringing Southern ports more
largely into service for shipments of supplies
and troops to our expeditionary bases in
Europe, and also by adjusting, through the
federal railroad administration, certain of
the grosser freight rate inequities which
Northeastern syndicates had contrived to
maintain. The way once open, exporters in
the Middle West saw plainly that for many
foreign destinations the shorter and cheaper
route for them lay through the South At
lantic and the Gulf. Moreover, trial con-
firmed the advantages of ports that are ice
free the year around and are prepared for
prompt, efficient service.
Something of the fruitage of these dis
coveries appears in the figures quoted. Five
hundred and eighty-six sailings for a month
may seem small indeed few years hence
but compared with a few years past the rec
ord is rich in cheer The development and
use of Southern ports in national and inter
national commerce has only begun, but it is
beginning splendidly prophetic.

CRYPTOMERIA
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

NRYPTOMERIA is the name given tn the
tallest, largest and most majestic trees
in Japan.
The cryptomeria is kind Of Pine tree, or
rather hemlock, at least it belongs to- that
family.
I found it in its most beautiful display at
Nikko.
NikkO is a place about five hours by train
north OF Toxic
Here are the tombs OF the great lords Of
former time and many temples are grouped
around them.
These temples, blazing in their richness of
barbarlc coloring, gold and silver, red lac
quered panels and floors, carven walls and
gates covered with every form of nature and
of dreams, ducks and cranes birds of para
disc, lions, elephants, twisting dragons, fan
tastic demons, all wrought with infinite la
Dor, conceived by genius, and softened and
mellowed by centuries of time-these tenn
pies owe fully as much of their beauty to
their natural surroundings as to their work
manship.
Back and above them rises the green
mountain, and nothing ever lifted the soul
of man does the mountain.
1t is Natures Altar.
1t is the Earth trying to reach Heaven.
1t is the Finite yearning toward the
Infinite.
1t becomes, therefore, the most appro-
pirate symbol of Mankind endeavoring to
say Cod
And all around the cleaning temples and
mausolea, ranging up the mountainside and
stretching away to the valley, stand these
sentinel trees.
There is a sheer majesty in their upward
sweep, straight as an arrow
There is shattering sense of power in
them, for their trunks are massive, many of
them twenty feet or more in circumference.
There is an overpowering dignity in their
soldierly pose.
They overawe and impress one as does an
army of soldiers, for they stand in thick
ranks, and it is as if nature here were parad-
ing her crack regiment, her Kings Own, the
very tallest and fttest of her troops.
Surely the noblest. most appropriate spot
on earth for noble men and women to be
buried.
Not that those buried here were really
great, for it is to be feared they we're far
from it; but then the gesture Of mems honor
has always been finer than the object oil
their honor.
The fneness Of loyalty is subjective.

Years ago in one of the smaller cities along

Hou Forest Conservation paus

~ OES forest conservation pay? Some
years ago when the state of North Car
DINA was considering whether or not 1t
would assent to, the acquisition of certain
mountain lands by the federal government as
part of the national forest reserve, there were
directors who argued that the counties in
which the tracts were located could not af-
ford the resultant loss of, tax money. To
their way of thinking, the preservation of
timber resources, the protection of the
watersheds of navigable streams, the pre-
vention of soil erosion and of floods, and
the consequent gains to agriculture, industry
and trade were as nothing to the withdrawal
of the lands from tax assessment after they
should pass under federal control. Those
SO contending are now thankful, no doubt
that their opinion did not prevail for none
of their misgiving has been confirmed, while
the commonwealth has profted many fold
The counties primarily concerned will re-
at least as much and probably great deal
more than the taxes from them would have
totalled. Our authority is the Norh Caro-
lima Geological and Economic Survey, which
has given the matter a careful investigation
and review. The forest lands were pur-
chased by the Government, it appears, at
an average of approximately five dollars an
acre for the sum of $1,907,450. AS a large
proportion of the acreage was not only
mountainous but also cut over, this price
was deemed liberal-at least double, says
the Survey, what the tax assessment would
have been. "Yet under the terms of the
Forest Act the State receives annually, for
the use of the counties, one-fourth of the
gross receipts from the administration (of
these forest reserves) which for the fiscal
year ended July 1, 1928, is reported at
$S.410. Assuming that the lands might
have been valued for taxation at the amount
paid for them by the Government, they are
returning to the counties in which they
are situated sum equivalent to a taxation
rate of forty-four cents per hundred dollars;
while based on the amount at winch they
likely would have been assessed, the return
is equivalent to that produced by tax rate
of from eighty to ninety cents per hundred
dollars" That is to say, forest conservation
is yielding the counties approximately twice
as much in direct monetary income as they
would have received had the lands been lef
unprotected.
The larger part of the profit, however, il
yet to be told, The revenues already re

ferred to are merely incidental to the chief
interests involved in forest conservation,
being derived from the sale of such timber
as can advantageously be cut, from rental
for grazing privileges, and from the issuance
of fishing and camping privileges to the
cruing, the forests continually increase in
value as well as in serviceableness to the
common veal. Timber multiplies so that
the annual sales thereof will become more
and more important. few decades hence,
say authorities, lands thus conserved will
be far better revenue producers than the
most valuable of privately owned lands pay
ing taxes.
These are facts we'll worth the study of
those Georgians who heretofore have looked
askance at forestry legislation. The North
Carolina Survey truly declares that what
has resulted in the handling of the ma
tionaI forest reserves illustrates the possi-
bilities in State reservations. Had these
lands been acquired by the State and the
purchase price secured by bonds at five
per cent, the incidental return from their
management already would have amounted
to half the interest charge and demonstrated
that in a decade it would begin to exceed
it. Long before expiration of the term for
which the bonds would have been issued
the increasing sale of timber would have
taken care of the interest and upkeep
charges and left heavy contribution toward
sinking fund, while all the time the
been increasing tremendously in value. At
the expiration of ifty-year term of the
bonds, the lowest possible valuation of the
timber alone would have been $12, 900 900
as against a total for purchase price, inter
est and upkeep of s6,160,000, leaving a net
profit, plus the land, of $5,85O,000 A
more reasonable estimate would make the
timber value $22, 100000 for a net profit
of $16,350, 000-and to these profits prob
ably would be added from the returns Incl
dental to management and preservation the
Gil I'll z COSt CuolSSu against 4uIGISSL anu
maintenance Conservation Of forests is a
principle which has been established by the
logic of unacceptable figures"
The least that Georgia can afford in this
important and profitable sphere of public
welfare is protection of her forests against
useless waste and destruction by fire. Once
the people realize how materially their inter
ests are involved, they will demand the es-
adjustment of forest reserves. Meanwhile,
however, immense areas of cumberland are
being overswept by flames, with resultant
loss of millions of dollars. Surely the Leg
islature, seeing that Georgia has twice as
many forest fires as any other State of the
Union, will not fail at it's next session to pro-
vide adequate safeguards against so fragrant
an i'll.

THE TAX RECEIVERS CARAvANsERIE
BY MRS.

TIME governor of Georgia has accompa-
MED group of excellent gentlemen all
over the Empire State of the South,
and they have~sent runners ahead to notify
the common people that mighty men of valor
are near at hand to inform the citizens of
Georgia that they (the ctizens), can bask
for several hours in the sunlight of their be-
nign cOuntenances, and also that they will
make report to the general assembly at
the called November session, which will
make it so plain that he who runs may
read"-as to how these hewers of wood and
drawers OF water can pour out more tax
money to run the state government
In the dim distance of my modest, humble
home have heard just one of these great
men deliver sane and sensible word, to
my notion. 1t was to the following effect
THE state is loaded down to the gunwales
with oYer-salarled officials. Nothing will
help until there is a real determination to
cut down salaries and drop off deadheads in
official circles"
A prominent man in Georgia writes me
thusly: Il note what you say about the flu
tility of certain Investigations, and I under
stand it is not whether-is a liar thief
or a perjurer; the real question at issue is
the bad system, not the individual. Is the de-
partment filed up with unnecessary en-
ployes? How much money of the taxpayers
is absolutely wasted there? How much
could be saved by the needed economy and
retrenchment in that one place."
AS the governor cannot appeal directly to
the legislature (and why not, would like to
know on tax revision, but must secure a
'preachment' from his peregrinating convoy
of wise men, would like at this time to rise
up from a rear bench in their place of con-
fluctuations to say, 1--WE had a rare good tax
law enacted in 1877, where plain directions
were given to tax receivers 30 carry doubtful
tax returns to the grand jury, and made
it the grand jurys duty to pass on them to
finish, if perjury had been committed"
No matter how many revisers or doctors
of science, law and literature cogitate and
declaim on this subject, you will never i'm
prove on the ad valorem law when tax re-
ceivers and grand juries face the music and
do their duty.
I can remember the first noted case of
appendix removing" in the state of Geor-
gia. 1t was performed in Atlanta and the
patient was a governor. If the present gov
ernor will come out in the open and say to
the legislature, remove that tax assessor ap-
pendiX from the honest ad valorem law of
1877, he will be heralded as a brave man
who knew how to save the life of a good
patient. 1t is the tax assessor feature which
makes the trouble. Operate with courage
and the thing will cease to af1ict the body
polite.

Q. Why is a goat always associated with
lodge limitations? V. M. M.
A. The association Of the goat with lodge
limitations is a result of superstitions origi-
mating largely in the middle ages. There
was, in 1910, society on the continent
known as 1.-THE Goats" They used a goat
in connection with their limitations, and
wore imitation goat faces. AS their meet
ings were yelled in secrecy the ignorant
populace believed them to be in league with
the devil. Since Masonic limitations are also
held secretly many persons at the time be-
lieyed that satanic rites were practiced.
Thus the goat came to be finally associated
with lodge limitations
@. Will you publish diet for football

dinner can be enjoyedz-but pastries should
be avoided.
