Co-ordinated Service
Means Efficient Service

One thing that everybody in every community must have
is transportation. Our whole social, commercial and III
dustrial structure is dependent uponit it.
Without transportation the growth of cities and townsis
retarded. Good transportation facilities make for prog
ress and prosperity and promote personal convenience.
Many people provide their own means of transportation
private motor cars-witaoutr regard to the cost. Others
patronize jtneys, but the greatbulk of all the people look
to the street cars to get them where they want to go.
Under present conditions there's a certain amount OF I'M
necessary duplication of service. This is wasteful.
Properly co-ordinated and operated as a dual system.
under one management, street cars and buses can be
made to provide the most efficient service for all the peo-
pie at the lowest cost.

sary for them to go for the transac-
ton of business.
Even then the steamship company
collects a return fare from the pas
senger to protect itself in case the
authorities at the port OF entry re-
fuse to permit the passenger to land.
1t is not apparent which country
initiated this rule. but both enforce
il, and 1t Is a constant trritant.
The Tacna-Arica provinces arc
looked upon by many Americans ana
Englishmen living in them as a white
elephant to Chile. 1t Is claimed that
Chile puts more into their govern
ment and maintenance each year than
she receives in return. An American
governmental official formerly living
in africa estimates that Chile's army
budget for the provinces even ex-
ceeds their revenues. for her military
force there is over 1000 officers and
men. Aside from the portion OF the
Chilean nitrate fields lying within the
territory, 1t is practically unproduc-
tive and an undesirable territory
hardly sustaining life.
Call Chilean Rule Helpful.
Comparing Tacna and africa with
Peruvian cities, it appears that
Chilean rule has been beneficial
Thoy are cleaner and more enterpris-
ing than Peruvian cities and probably
had they remained under Peru would
have been far more backward than
they are at present.
Those who seek to belittle what
Chile has done in the district charge
that especial attention has been given
to making these cities up-to-date as a
part Of the propaganda OF Chile to in
fiuence the inhabitants, for as yet the
plebiscite provided for In the original
treaty and which was to have been
held in 1893, has not been held. The
date Is expected to be dxed by Presi-
dent Harding among the matters now
before him for arbitration.
Would Give Up Provinces.
Several Chilean economists believe
it would be a real economic victory
to Chile If she could unload the heavy
burden Of the two captured provinces
How that can be done without loss OF
national glory and prestige they do
not say.
Along with plans for making Chile
the greatest manufacturing nation OF
South America come suggestions that
1t would be good thing II some
plan could be devised whereby Bolivia
would acquire the Tacna-Arica terri
tory, possibly by purchase, providing
the Bolivians could float loan for
that purpose. 1t is urged that be-
cause of the bitterness between Chile
and Peru either would resent the
others finally winning, but both
might consent to Bolivia's taking over
the territory.

AN UNJUST TAX
THAT SHOULD BE REMOVED

Taxes are never popular. Some
are just; others partially unjust
and others both unfair and intol-
cradle.
The tax placed on Grand Opera
is both UNFAIR and INTOLER-
ABLE, certainly so it seems to
us.
The week of Grand Opera each
year in Atlanta, is a STATE af-
fair and not something for At
lanta, alone. It's benefits are state
wide and this delightful six days
is participated in by men and wo-
men from every county in Geor-
gia.
Our representatives in the SEN
ate and the house should repeal
this tax and that very early in the
session.
If we are to place a special
state tax on Grand Opera, then
place a like tax on every chau-
tauqua and lyceum series help in
the state. To our way of thinking
its just as equitable to place
tax the Yillagt3s lyceum course
as it is to place tax on the week
of grand opera held in Atlanta,
but not By Atlanta.
Jim Nevin, in his always de-
lightful column in the Atlanta
Georgian says
Particularly should this tax be
repealed, it seems to this writer,
when there is a movement on
throughout all Georgia to get our
people together-to obIiterate
political and fractional divisions,
bring the rural and the urban
communities into a clearer and
more friendly status Of under
standing.
"One of the first things the
Legislature well might do at its
summer session, would be remove
this harassing and vexfng tax of
$1,000 on opera in Atlanta. 1t
would remove from this fine and
progressive enterprise the only
disheartening blot remaining up
on it,"
For the good of all let's abolish
this tax that was levied at time
when some of our representatives
were not feeling the best in the
world toward Atlanta.

The Mayors Of &c Georgia cities
and prominent citizens represent

appointed by Governor Hardwick
Monday as delegates to the meet
ing of Georgians, Incorporated, to
be held in Macon on Tuesday,
May 8. Because of the state
wide interest in the organization,
it is expected that all delegates
will attend.
The meeting in Macon is for
the purpose of definitely launch
ing a movement to bring more in
dustries to Georgia. Great head

ganization was formed following
dinner given at the Capital City
Club a few weeks ago by the

pointed by Governor Hardwick
and we hope that His Honor
will find the time to attend.
1t is early to predict what
Georgians, ms, will accomplish
but if we understand just what
the organization has in mind, it
will do things for Georgia.
Individual communities, through
their chambers of commerce
have endeavored to attract indus
trial enterprises to the state.
Most of these efforts have been
waster because there has been no
co-ordinated effort-not thorough
ly organized effort-as a state to
do this very necessary piece Of
work.
If Big Business in Georgia
Georgians, Inc, is planning to put
its brains, time and money into
an organized effort to build Geor-
gia industrially, then Georgia will
succeed.
Many things must be done to
make Georgia attractive to out
side investors, one of the most inn
portant being fair and just tax
ing system, one that is both fair
to the so-called invisible as well
as the visible property in the state.
Georgia has the climate, the po-
tential hydro-electric power, the
potential labor supply, raw mater
ial and transportation facilities.

WILLIAM 4. DODSON
WAS FRIEND OF MAN.

The death yesterday Of William
Adolphus Dodson brings sorrow to
the people of not only Americas
and Sumter county, where he had
lived 50 long, but to the entire
state as well, In his passing the
community has lost a friend, his
family a loving father and the bar
of Americas a strong advocate,
for he had been in constant prac-
tice all over the Southwestern iud-
zeal circuit for more than a third
of a century, and during that
long time had come to form many
friendships with folks in all
walks Of life who would pay a
last tribute to his memory in this
very hour as his body IS being
lowered to its last resting place
in beautiful Oak Grove Gene
terry.
Though stricken with paralysis
some months ago, it had been
known for some time that life
vas nearing its end and he had
made preparations for his going
away. Always active at the bar,
he seemed never to have fully
surrendered even in the days pre-
ceding his death, his mind was
ever alert.
1t is now recalled that only last
week, with a fellow member of
the bar Coz. Dodson went over
to Stewart county to attend
session of the Superior court then
holding, and this was his last APP
pearanee before any bar. For
quarter Of century he had been
attending court at Lumpkin, and
the older advocates at the bar
there recall how he swayed juries
with his eloquence and logic dur
ing many important trials But
on his last trip his friends noted
with what difficulty he assembled
the stairs % reach the court room.
His presence in the community
will be missed, his place at the bar
and in the councils of legislative
halls where he served in years past
so faithfully and well, will be hard
to fill.
