INCREASE. IN LUXURIES.

The National City bank, of New York
through survey recently completed, finds
that while the value of all manufactures pro-
duced in the United States in 1921 fell 80 per
cent below that of 1910 large share of the ar
tcles cassed as luxuries not only "held their
own" but in many instances showed actual
increases For instance there was an increase
in the value of tobacco manufacture amount
ing to three and one-half per cent, also IN
perfumery and cosmetics, millinery and lace
goods, favoring extracts, sporting goods, etc.
Some of these increases amount to millions
of dollars.
Pursuing the investigation by means OF
statistics supplied by the trade journals, evi-
6cnce is found of still more rapid increase not
only in the above mentioned manufactures but
in many others. For instance, the increase IN
the manufacture of fur and fur-trimmed gar
1nents approximates $1O000O0O0,00O; in jew
elry, including diamonds, nearly $5O,OOOOOO;
in silk fabrics, hosiery etc, nearly as much
more
Such evidence indicates that it is the cost
Of high living" that is troubling this country
more than any other one thing, especially
when the cost of high living itself discloses
an increase all out Of proportion to increase
in the average individual income.

AID WITHOUT LIMIT.

Acting on great human impulse Presi-
dent Coolidge decided that aid without limit
backed by the recources of the United States
should be sent to the stricken Japanese Peo-
pie. He did not wait for congressional con-
sent, or stop to inquire as to what authority
he had He took it for granted that the
American people would be willing for Uncle
Sam to foot any bills that came in for send
ing food, clothing, medical supplies and 9TH
er material aid to the nation so sorely dis
tressed.
Contributions to the $5O00000 found of the
Red Cross have poured in from big and little
cities from towns and townships all over the
country. Great Cargoes are speeding from
various ports to those of Japan. American
warships have arrived at the scenes OF great
est destruction, affording temporary rehet to
the stricken people Steamships loaded with
food, clothing and building materials are en-
route Help is on the way. Americas tull
hands are stretched out to the Japanese.
America is giving of her bounty that the in
iured may be given medical and surgical at
tention, that the hungry may be fed, that the
homeless may be sheltered. Americas great
heart has been touched, ana thdI SAPidlio II
simply and truly.
These things are significant in showing
that America is willing to assume the main
burden of Japans relief. The United States
will do more than all other countries put to-
gether in giving aid to Japan. Vast amounts
of money already have been contributed, but
before Japan is restored to a condition OF self
help many more millions in supplies OF va
rious kinds will have been sent to the strick-
en- country.
The cause is worthy and the American
people, the American government, has not
been found lacking in spirit Japan is wei
come to everything that has been given and
will be given It is the strong helping the
weak, a noble example of mans humanity to
man.

STYI AND WILES.

A guest from another planet probably
would observe during visit to the earth that
terrestrial human beings have their lives or
dered by dictates, and that they must con-
form, TO the rules laid down whether they
like them or not. Take for example, the edict
Of the National Hair Dressers Association
that bobbed hair must go for the reason that
feminine ears must be exposed. That means
that girls and women will have to show their
ears even if they are not pink and shell ike
as described in popular fiction. The mar
dressers tell their customers what to do, ana
their customers do it because they cannot
help themselves
The same thing applies to mems clothes
The tailors get together and decide whether
trousers are to be short or long, slim or tull
whether coats are to be form fitting or not
whether there is to be padding in the shout
ders and how many buttons are to be lightly
stitched on. Then there are the dress design
ers and the shoe manufacturers. Dresses are
long until miladyR wardrobe is complete and
then they are short again Shoes are comfort
able only for a time, then another last is the
vogue and if one clings to the old one fo1
comfort one is old-fashioned. The same with
hats gloves motor cars, house furnishings
and breakfast foods
lust one thing is required of consumers
whatever the product may be, and that IS to
accept the goods offered and to pay the price
demanded They are not asked what they
would like, but are told what they may have
The STYLES in everything ordered because
of the wiles of those who produce them. The
people are to blame, of course, because they
always want something new, not for the rea-
son that the innovation is an improvement IN
any way but on account of its newness. Any
one pausing long enough to admit these facts
straightwAy would forget the admission and
break the speed laws to get down town ahead
Of everybody else and-buy the very latest
thing

Our Tax Burden.
From the Macon News.

The Dawson News summarizes some fig
ures which show how great has been the tai
burden of the state during the past year:
State taxes collected in Georgia last
wear amounted to $12,000,000 and coun-
ty taxes to $23,000000,
Adding to these amounts the estimated
municipal taxes paid, the total state,
county and municipal taxes in Georgia
last year easily reached $65,00000O.
This does not include federal taxes,
embracing the large total of $40,0000OO
income tax, or occupational taxes or au-
tomobile license and gasoline taxes.
Altogether, they run the tax bill OF
the state for one year well above the
$100,000000 mark!
1t is an enormous total. Of course, it
must be recognized that the price of pub
lie Improvements, of the greater de-
mands of increased business is more
taxes
Yet, the prospective investor or citi-
zen always asks, as one of his first ques-
ticns, about the tax rate of state, county
or city It is considered an important
item by him. A high tax rate frequently
"scares him off"
A growing state requires heavy out
lays for public purposes. But it must
be borne in mind that high taxes isn't
good advertisement.
The burden itself is indeed great, but tn
greatest trouble is that it is so unequally dis
tributed that few escape taxation altogeth
er, while others bear far more than thei
share.
These astounding figures are enough tc
make US pause and reflect. There is no mer
expedient that can meet the situation. w
must have a scientific revision of our ia
system, and, what is more, the federal incom
tax must be reduced.
The time for the extra session of the gen
eraI assembly is rapidly drawing near. 1t will
be a crime if the members of the general as
sembly do not go there we'll prepared to dis
cuss taxation intelligently

Make Land Fertile.
From the Sandersville Progress!

Georgia's greatest need is fertile land, and
poor land can be made fertile by planting
velvet beans plentifully and rotating the crops
with small grain field peas, corn and cotton.
Those who have followed this plan systemat-
ically are producing profitable crops, while
others who have planted one crop continuous
ly on the same land for several years are
producing less and less. Commercial fertiliz-
ers will not restore the fertility of the soil,
but acts as a stimulant for the crop under
which it is applied, which is an end of its
usefulness. There are crops growing on some
of the farms of Washington county which
can not be excelled anywhere in the United
States. Just across the road, on the same
kind of land, extremely poor crops are grow
ing The difference in yield will be astonish-
ing. One farmer uses the rotation system,
while the other ignores it. 1t costs just as
much to cultivate the poor land as it does
the fertile soil. The progressive farmer will
make a profit on his crops, while the unpro-
gressive will have comparatively nothing af-
fer year of hard labor, and in many in
stances will be unable to meet his fertilizer
bills

Let EN- loot EN-.
From the Cordele Dispatch.

Those of our contemporaries that OPP
posed Governor Walker the most strenu-
ously in the campaign last summer are
now having a great deal to say. They
are footing loud and long, and if given
time will get lot of discord out of their
systems.-Dawson News.
And let EN- foot em. That's the best
way to get rid of them. Nothing the govern
or can do pleases them. If he calls COM
mission to settle taxing problems they swear
that they already have counted noses and that
the legislature will do nothing. If he doesn't
call a special session and settle it all he is
ruined
AS to the extra session, the governor is do
ing the right thing. OF that we are quite sat
isfed If he fails to get reforms, then it will
be pretty clear that the trouble is with the
office seekers in the legislature who do not
want him to do anything constructive that
will in any manner handicap them in their
fight against him next year.
Well, they will have to do some under-cov-
er work from now until the extra session is
called Then they will likewise have to do the
same in the assembly during that session.
And while they are at it they need not as
sumo that the people of Georgia are not
watching them. Somebody will have the
courage to tell it and tell it quite often. They
will have to answer for knocking and de
stroying the worthy effort of others, Walk
