HOW SUMTER DOES 1T,
THEME OF EDITORIAL.

The story sent out from Ameri-
Gus to the state papers telling how
twelve carloads of hogs were re-
Gently sold in this county through
the agency of our county agent,
George o. Marshall, has attracted
considerable favorable comment.
After reproducing the story in it's
editorial columns, the Atlanta Con-
stitution of Saturday makes this
interesting comment:
THE story from Sumter is the
story from perhaps fifty other
counties in Georgia, and the num-
Der is growing each year. Meat
production is getting to be one of
the worthwhile industries, and it
has come nearer to rejecting the
depression caused by the boil wee
VII than any other one agency.
In this, as in all successful
agricultural activities, success has
! followed failure up to that de-
gree to which progressive, intelli-
gent, business-like. methods have
followed the wishy-washy, lazy, in
different methods that too have
ruled farm activities.
Not only was the first step the
introduction Of pure bred stock.
but this was kept pace by intelli-
gent breeding; and by proper feed
ing and the eradication of the dick
and other disease producing ager.
cles, the standard has been kent
up, and the stock made to pro.
duce merchantable meat a profit.
'Co-operation in marketing -
the one powerful essential toward
better prices, controlling markets.
and uniform standardization-has
also entered into the situation to
make stock growing profitable.
Georgia farmers, whether thew
are able to successfully grow cot
ton under WeeviI conditions or not
should not neglect the possibilities
IN meat growing and to do the io6
as Sumter is doing is should be a
most useful object lesson"

MORE WASTE SHOWN
WITH PUBLIC FUNDS.

Fridays Associated Press dis
patches carried the interesting in
formation that the Budget Bureau
is asking congress to appropriate
78 odd million dollars of the peo-
pies money to refund taxes which
the Internal Revenue department
had already collected illegally and
which they now wish to return
with more expense to the taxpay-
ers.
Of course the Budget Bureau is
not to blame for this state of af-
fairs, they are only acting for the
best interest of the whole coun-
try under ruling of the Supreme
court which makes necessary this
refund.
The bureau was created for the
purpose of standardizing the work
of the several governmental de-
partments, of avoiding duplication
OF work and the like, and in this
they have done good work, ac-
cording to Republican spokesman.
What is most needed in this
country RIGHT NOW is sta5lized
taxes, so that the taxpayers may
know what to expect and so A.
range their own affairs according
ly.
1t will cost about as much mon
ey to get this rs odd million dol
lars back to the people as it did
to collect it, under the system of
red tape which has been in vogue
IN governmental departments since
the beginning of time, it seems TO
US.
Not only in affairs of our ma
tlonal government, but the same
tnlng is-going on the operation of
our states government includinp
Georgia, for it has not been "a
very long ago that the state had
men on the road for months COL
iectlng tax on tobacco only 20
rave TO return the money when it
vas found out it had beer ILLEGALLY
collected, and that al an added
expense to the taxpayers in Geor-
gia.
We give the Georgia instan o
because it is fresh in our mind
and we have no doubt that the
same thing has been going on in
other states of which we have M
knowledge.
We do not seem to need a better
system of tax-gathering in this
country so much as rigid ec33mv
all along the line. Put some of
'ne useless OFFICIALS to work in
other line, and the country and
'ne states would be better off

LICENSE TAX LAWS IN
GEORGIA NEED REVISION

The state legislature this sun,
mer will have to do something 70
remedy the defect in our tax-gatb-
eflng system. The Savannah Pross
points out that various sections If
cur tax laws are now tied IN nv
appeals in the courts. The Press
says:
The announcement of the
comptroller general of GEORGIA
that various sections of the tav
act are tied up by appeals to the
courts and have prevented the COL
lection of different forms of occn-
pa'lon tax which the State of Geor-
ga mas levied, creates surprise,
ms situation deprives the
state Of a good deal of the ravon,,o
expected and will hold up the coI-
lection of these taxes during the
entire life Of the present tax, which
eAplreS next June.
Bearing upon the occunat;or
tax, although this time reIatipn ~
license tax levied by the citT Of
Atlanta, an important decision has
just been made by the Supreme
Court of Georgia. A manufact,,r-
ing concern persists in its demand
for municipal license for doin~
business in Atlanta The Supreme
court has just upheld the COM
pany.
Under this ruling the Supreme
court held that any license tax
sought to be imposed in Georgia
on the business of foreign corporal
tions engaged in selling their
goods in Georgia on a factorage
or consignment basis, through To-
cal institutions, was void, such
business being exempt from license
taxation in the shape of municipa!

taxes or otherwise, and such tax
alton being unconstitutional.
The effect of the decision will
extend to occupation taxes which
have heretofore been exacted by
the state from foreign corporations
doing business in Georgia on a
factorage or consignment basis,
from which source the state has
heretofore derived a large revenue
in occupation taxes"
