These funds may be raised by:
Plans for Raising Funds
/. The proceeds of a tax on in
tangibles.
2. Savings by reducing expense of
government.
3. Providing teeth for the tax laws
and practical machinery for systemS
attic and busness-like enforcement.
After a conscientious study of the
tax question, following the expert
ence of several years service on the
state budget, committee, l unhsitat-
ngly declare my belief that the
funds necessary to hold Georgia and
her institutions in line with the pro-
gressive states can thus be raised
without additional burden upon real
estate.
1. The tax on intangibles. The
experience of tax experts of nation
wide reputation and of neighboring
states facing the same problems, aft
err years of study, have suggested
the following methods of reaching
intangibles:
(a) The Kentucky system of class
ification providing a reduced rate
on certain specific property on the
farm and on money, notes, mort
cages and all other credits with
teeth in the law providing for its
strict enforcement
CD An act providing that no note
mortgage or other evidence Of debt
shall be enforcible in the courts I'M
less bearing a stamp of the tax col
lector indicating that the paper has
been returned for taxation.
(c) A small tax on incomes not
otherwise taxed.
Cd A combination of two or more
of the above systems.
Ca Kentucky tax officials report
results of the classification system
as follows:
Intangible personalities, 1917.
Assessents, $6S,750,SS0; revenue,
r37S,129
Intangible personalities, 1921.
Assessments, $30S, 418,571; revenue,
$1,233.675.
Bank deposits, 1917
Assessments, $11,177,196; revenue,
sci. 474.
Bank deposits, 1921.
Assessments, $2S4,161,S2S; revenue,
$2S4.161.
Reduces Realty Tax
These increases were achieved
through a sharp reduction in the
rate on intangibles. but the new reve.
nue. thus secured permitted d reduc-
ton of the rate on real estate and
other tangibles from 81 cents to AZ
rents.
A similar system In Maryland,

Stamp Tax System


This suggestion only contemplates
the enforcement of the present law
which requires such credits to be
taxed at full value. Against this
system is urged:
"a That il would drive out foreign
capital and outside loans. (2) That
it would be practically confiscatory,
unreaSonably reducing the income on
such credits. These alleged objec.
tons may well be considered in con.
nection with the classification svs.

The Income Tax System
North Carolina, - considered bv
many the most progressive state in
the south at present, has abolished
all property tax for state purposes
and, in its stead, levies a graduated
income tax, personal and corporate.
with an added franchise tax on cor
pOrations of one-tenth of one per
cent upon capital stock. 1t will be
observed, of course, that the differ
ence in the number and variety of
industries in the two states should
be considered in adapting any part
of the North Carolina plan.

also recommended as best adapted to
the conditions of Georgia after thor

plan, with some modification and
changes to suit Georgia conditions,
can best be adapted to the peculiar

SECRECY CLAUSE BILL
is SIGNED BY BLAINE
Governor Signs Severson Bill Remov-
ing Secrecy Clause from
Income Tax Returns.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)

10Y ASSOCldISO 1TeSS Leased W1re(
Madison, Wis.-The secrecy clause
attached to the Wisconsin income tax
law was removed today when Cover
nor Blaine signed the Severson bill,
opening all income returns of indi-
viduals and corporations to the public.
There was. no comment accompanying
the governors signature to the measure.
This act ended the political fight
that was waged over the secrecy clause
during the 1922 political campaign
with the LaFollette- Blaine forces con-
tending that millions of dollars of
unpaid income taxes were being COW
cred up, because of the secrecy sur
rounding returns.
The state senate passed the Sever
son bill at this session after hard
fought contest, with the Socialists and
Progressives uniting to assure a ma
jority. In the assembly, the measure
went through without contest.
Political opponents of the Progress
sives say that they will now watch
for the extensive results which pro-
ponents of the measure claimed would
come from it's enactment.

French Shy at
German Proposal

Paris - The official French atti-
tude towards the speech of Baron Won
Rosenberg, the German foreign minis
ter in the Reichstag yesterday is that
the German position is not sufficiently
categorical. This was made plain to-
day with an expression of doubt as to
whether the Cuno cabinet was in
position politically at home to obtain
the adoption of any plan leading to
settlement that it might put forward.
In we'll informed unofficial quarters
the view was expressed that both the
Germans and the Franco Belgian al
lies seem to be reaching out in con-
nection With practical plans to obtain
a settlement and while official discus
sion may be many weeks orr even
months distant there is feeling in
neutral circles that some plan eventu-
ally win be evolved by mutual con-
cessions,' possibly not dissimilar to
that put forward by the British last
December.

The special committee on unem-
ployment from the depressions in the
business cycle appointed by Secre-
tary Hoover, as chairman Of the
Presidents Conference on Unem-
ployment, has made public the con-
illusions reached after more than a
years study.
The Committee comprises: Owen
D. Young, chairman Of the board Of
the General Electric Company
(Chairman); Joseph H. Defrees, for
mer president of the u. S. Chamber
Of Commerce; Mary Van Kleeck, of
York; Matthew Vol, vice president
of the American Federation of
Labor; Clarence NJ. Wooley, chair
man of the American Radiator Com
pany, and Edward E. Hunt, Secre-
tary.
The committee enlisted the services
of more than 200 employers, labor
leaders, economic experts, financial
advisors and social workers. 1t was
requested by Secretary Hoover that
they make an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the facts and causes of
periodic business depressions-hard
times-and to see if suggestions
could be made of remedial steps that
might be taken by the business com
munity to avoid such interruptions to
prosperity and employment.
The Committee has now issued it's
own summary of conclusions and
suggestions. This will be followed at
an early date with the complete pub
LEGATION of the facts and material
collected.
The Committee analyses the var
ious economic phenomena of the per-
iodic business boom and sequent de-
preston and it's conclusions are that
preventative measures must lie in
the better handling of business in
boom times because depression and
hard times are due to over expan-
sion, imitation, loss of efficiency,
waste and extravaganza of the boom
periods; that therefore the first point
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-04-19

munity of providing for increased
consumable goods and at the same
time undertake the larger burdens OF
construction; that, therefore, the con-
struction industries are to some ex-
tent the balance wheel on the ebb anGs
flow of boom and depression.
The Committee points out the part
that Federal Reserve Banks can play
in restriction of speculation and over
expansion and at the same time in
liberalizing credit in times Of depres-
sion, and it points out that at the
present moment the Federal Reserve
Banks hold larger supply of gold
than is necessary to support the
credit machinery Of American COM
merce, and suggests that considera-
ton be given to earmarking a special
reserve of this gold as against prob
able future gold shipments from the
United States and thus accomplish
the double object of preventing both
temptation to imitation of credits on
the basis of this surplus gold supply,
and at the same time the great en-
barrassment of possible financial
credit difficulties that would arise if
foreign drafts were made upon the
gold which had been used as a credit
basis.
The Carnegie Foundation made
appropriations toward meeting the
cost Of the inquiry. The National
Bureau of Economic Research, The
Russell Sage Foundation, the Fed
Grated American Engineering Socie-
ties, the United States Chamber of
Commerce, the American Federation
of Labor, the American Statistical
Association, the American Economic
Association, the Bureau of Railway
Economics and the Department of
Commerce were among the bodies
which contributed services. The vast
compilation Of fact and opinion on
which the committee based its con-
illusions was effected under the direc-
ton of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research, whose director,
Wesley C. Mitchell is nationally
known as an authority on the busi-
ness cycle

Method to
Make Children Tall

Cleveland Search for some means
to make small, stunted boys and girls
taller, as well as comprehensive at
tempt to classify children for the
work to which they are physically
and mentally suited, is now being made
by the Board Of Education of this city.
A few of the questions which the in
vestigation, under the direction of DR..
Bird T. Baldwin, psychologist of the
University ofIowa, is expected to
answer are:
At what age do children attain their
complete physical growth?
What is the effect Of physical con-
dition on intelligence?
If child's weight can be increased
by diet, what can be done to increase
his stature?
Every child in the five schools,
total of $500, is to be examined thor
oughly, both physically and mentally.
The physical examinations are already
under way under the direction of Dr.
L. w. ChiIds, director of school health
work in Cleveland, with school physi-
clans, nurses and dentists cooperating.
This investigating will be followed by
a health campaign to eliminate physi-
cal defects.

Council Has Dream
of Tourist Influx

London At least one English vii
lage is planning to pay it's share of the
war debt to America, and incidently
to rent new town hall, by means of
the money spent by American tour
lists.
The Cheam Parish council recently
decided to rent as council chamber
a 400-year-old cottage. Opponents of
the scheme were silenced by mem
ber's proposal that the town clerk
should charge American tourists a
guinea to show them over the building.
The council has rented the house
and will now lie in wait for such de-
scendants of the Pilgrim Fathers as
reach Cheam next summer.
A party of Americans visited the
cottage last summer and made gen
erous offer for the place, intending to
ship it bodily to the United States as
a specimen of fine old English archi-
lecture.

NEW YORK DANCERS

(By Associated Press Leased wire1

New York City-Barred in New York
and New Jersey by the police, the
marathon dancers who started out at
1880 o'clock Saturday night to smash
worlds records for endurance, trans
ferred their activities to Connecticut
early today without missing a step.
Reports from the Cyget Athletic club
at East Port Chester, Conn, said that
three of the original four couples were,
still going strong.
The dancers started in an uptown
Broadway hall and moved to Fort Lee.
N. j., in moving van when the police
interfered. When the officials there
ordered them to move on they came
back to New York in a van, dancing in
a dingy flat somewhere in Harlem"
Fearing that they would be found they
were transferred in van again to the
Connecticut town. All of the dane
ers were said to be in fair condi-
tion. Chicken soup has constituted
their main diet.
Undeterred by reports of new time
records made by dancers throughout
