THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. Il. FELTON,

TINE newspapers tell us the selected COM
mittee, or commission, is still meeting
in Atlanta to frame up a suitable tax
law to meet existing conditions. When the
bill is fully settled for this hand-picked COM
mittee commission, - will understand
how costly the thing has become to the tax
payers The governor is perhaps new to
such business, but it will be settled for, as
the old proverb goes, in meal or malt
sooner or later.
The time to consider this tax revision was
when the last general assembly had con-
Vened, but [ recalled the legislators were
not averse to an extra sessiOn-they never
are fond of them. The summer session was
costly enough at $4,000, but the extra can
sit as long as it has mind to, and they are
never hurried or economical as to pay and
mileage, in extra sessions.
Last years campaign was fought over this
industrial tax revision and the voters of the
state believed Candidate Walker was fully
acquainted with the subject in dispute. New
ertheess, the newspapers declare he has been
going to school all this year on this subject
in various states of the union. History (time
enough being giVen) will cartoon tax re-
vision as the blind horse on which the 1928
candidates rode in on, but it was really the
blind leading the blind" II my opinion is
worth a groat, and it may rate at less, in
the public eye, l expect the house of repre-
sentat1Yes to vote to wipe Off the tax equali-
zation appendix to the constitutional act of
each county, nearly 500, and the office of
state tax commissioner. Those tax doctors
are not fools, they understand the temper of
the plain people of Georgia. The senate will
accordingly perform as usual and effectually
block progress and defeat the measure. That
will carry this tax revision to the session of
1924. This route has been travelled so often
it has worn the rails on which the thing
moves until they glitter with brazen effront-
cry and slick politics.
The tax fl. fas. all over the state are keep
ing the people hot with indignation and dis
appointment. The plain people of Georgia
are not going to stand double tax on in
comes, unless we are bound hand and foot
and sold already into bondage by political
hypocrites and time servers.
The time has come to declare our deter
mination to rebuke the greedy demands of
office holders. They are Unsuitable They
are brutal in their determination to get big
ger pay. When I remember the huge cutlery
and blatant promises to stand by the tax
payers during the campaign of 1922 won
der why we are being fed up on going to
school, to find a way to force out more
taxes.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY
And upon the first day OF the week when
the disciples came together to break bread,
Paul preached unto them, ready to depart
on the morrow; and continued in speech
until midnight. And there we're many
lights in the upper chamber where they
we're gathered together And there sat in
a window certain young man named
Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep.
And as Paul mas long preaching he sunk
dorm Nth sleep, and fell DOM from the
third loft, and was taken up dead. And
Paul went DOM, and fell on him, and
embracing him said, "Trouble not your
(selpes for his life is in him." When he
therefore was come up again, and had
broken bread, and eaten, and talked long
while even till break of day, so he de-
parted.-Acts 20:7-11.

THE PACIFIC ERA
BY DR.. Frank Crane

l..
Interests of the world will center on
the Pacific ocean, and not the Atlantic.
This is not statement perked up to at
tract attention by its novelty; it is a con-
viction shared by many serious and qualified
minds
On June 81, 1921, General Jan Christian
Smuts premier of the Union of South Africa,
in addressing the session of the British I'M
perial Conference in London, declared: "Our
temptation is still to look on the European
stage as of first importance. 1t is no longer
so. Undoubtedly the scene has shifted from
Europe to the Far East and to the Pacific.
The problems on the Pacific are, to my
mind, the world problems of the next fifty
years or more. e. y. There, believe, the next
great chapter in human history will be
Written.'
Putnam Weale writes: "The Chinese ques-
ton is the world question Of the twentieth
century"
Those to whom the Chinese Question is on
a level with selecting laundry men, or con-
Germs only a local labor disturbance along the
American west coast, Or has something or
other to do with "the Yellow PERIL have not
walked up. They thinking in terms of
fifty years ago.
The Chinese question is a great big boom
ing issue right upon us, heavy with destiny.
In sheer numbers China is imposing, some
the world game at the next inning.
They are not savages or morOns. They
were civilized before the pyramids were built.
They are of a stock that does not peter out.
Greece has dwindled. Rome decayed.
Spain lost her vitality. The fleets of Venice
vanished from the seas. Germany committed
hari-kari. Russia has gone mad. France is
drying up, ceasing to breed, Turkey is a
decadent force, going on the crutches Of mil
itarism.
The only two real powers left are the
Asiatc (Chinese and Japanese) on the one
side of the Pacific, and the English-speaking
people (Great Britain and America) on the
other. With the Dutch and. Scandinavians
forming a considerable third.
China is the best soil for democracy. From
the beginning they have governed themselves.
Rulers, kings and politicians have meant less
to them than to any other people. Their
wars, dynastic changes and so-called leaders,
have been surface affairs, except as they
occasionally destroyed. The life of the peo-
pie went On beneath, undisturbed.
The history of government everywhere has
been one of constant meddling and robbery,
with occasional murder and devastation.
In China government has done less med
ding than elsewhere.
Hence the people have reached the highest
degree of discipline, craftsmanship, unity and
philosophy.

industry, universal education, the scientific

these things within the next fifty years.
China is better soil for Christianity than

Now, that they have found it won't bust up

they have started the dirty work. In every

They mainly take the form of an effort to

Don't accept such ISLANDERS as true, without

all cooperative marketing associations are Just

What we do know is this: the principles
are right and good management will make a

Again Mobilized
In Training Camp
By United Pre- - Leased Wire


CAMP LEWIS, Wash, July 20
Gathering from all parts of the
northwest here today, the citizen $
military trimming camp 5f 1928
opened, with hundreds of embryonic
soldiers in attendance.
4 majority of the young men
who donned the khaki for the
month S training period are still in
their teens, many of them vet IN
high school. But included i'll the
number are many who have been III
uniform before, and some who saw
service overseas during the world
war.
The attendance at the camp is
very good, officers report, despite
the fact that two weeks ago. there
were 420 vacancies in the quota
designated by the war department.
Many lines of military training
are open to the citizen soldiers
lere for the summer training. The
infantry proved the most popular,
with more of the summer soldiers
aniisting in this branch than IN
any other, although artillery, caval-
~ and other outfits had good-slzed
quotas.
Students completing three sum
mer courses in the training offered
are eligible for reserve corps com
missions, and it is anticipated that
several will be in line for the Gov
cted papers when the Camp Lewis
school is ended.

Carriso Gorge
Beauty Lauded
By Local Woman

A, woman resident of FL Centre,
who returned recently from a vaca-
ton on the coast. took advantage
Of an opportunity to make the trip
from San Diego via the San Diego
and Arizona railway, and is now
telling her friends of the beauty Of
Carriso gorge, which she saw for
the firsi time on the trip.
She frankly admitted that she
was inclined to disappointment
when she found it would be neces-
sary- to traeel back by train, but
the famous gorge not only caused
her TO enjoy the trip to the fullest
extent, but created a desire TO ses
it again. This woman has lived il
the valley several years, and though
she had heard considerable about
the gorge, did not believe it was
ANYTHING to get excited about.
She told Charles Matlin, travelling
freight and passenger agent for the
railroad company, who CHANGED to
be on the same train, that ii is a
shame so few people in the valley
have made the wonderful trip
through the gorge.
"In spite of the fact that peo
pie from all parts of the country
come to Southern California to see
Carriso. gorge, we in the valley
never think of it, she added. Not
only is il one of nature s most
beautiful spots, but the engineer
ing ingenuity demonstrated by Z
railroad through the gorge is re-
markable.

jury to convict Manuel Alvarez of
violation Of the liquor law in JUS

The most convincing evidence
presented yesterday, aside from

of the jury and witnesses, WAS the
testimony of Sheriff Charles l..

wrapped around the whiskey when
discovered in the Martinez Rooms
at Imperial, operated by Alvarez.
The whiskey was found in a large
wood stove, which the testimony for
the defendant alleged had not been
used for several months. Alvarez
had owned the hotel for a period Of
about five months prior to the find
ing Of the whiskcy last month, and
in the first trial il was rontcnded

around the whiskey was the "'Ca-

proving that the whiskey had been
placed in the stove after ALVAREZ
purchased the hotel. Asked why he
had not given this testimony at the
former trial, the sheriff grinned
and replied that he had not been
