SCHOOL TAX GIVES
NO FEE ON LEVY
RECEIVER NOT ENTITLED TO
COMMISSION, ACCORDING
TO COURT DECISION.

A decision handed down by the
supreme court upon the question
whether the receiver of tax returns is
entitled to percentage as commission
on a county wide tax levy for educa-
tional purposes has said he is not so
entitled, and the subsequent item of
interest arising from this decision is
whether or not the county may legally
require this commission to be paid
back to it by the tax receiver. The
Decatur county school tax case, which
was made the test case, has settled
part of the controversy, according to
State Comptroller General William A.
Wright, and has opened this other
feature.
The county commissioners of De-
catur county contended there was no
additional work performed by the tax
receiver in that county in this educa
tiona1 levy, and that this did not come
within the legal meaning of percent
age on county taxes" Mandamus pro-
Ceedings brought in the lower court
of Decatur county against the tax re-
ceiver were refused by the court and
the supreme court overruled this de-
cision upon appeal. In addition to the
legal question whether the commits
sioners have the right to demand a
return Of the commission there is also
the question whether in many of the
counties they will exercise that legal
right for commissions already given
or wait until the next levy before de-
Quoting it.

ROASTED TO DEATH

enty tons Of molten steel at the Far
rell plant of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany last night.
The dead are Clayton Fisher, John
Hooker Robert Phillips, Theodore
Brown and Claude Semlee
The giant ladle carried its seventy
tons OF steel heated $500 degrees. AS
the load approached the elevated pour
ing platform, on which four workmen
were standing, the cable slipped and
the mass of molten metal crashed to
the earth floor AS it fell the molten
steel exploded, probably due to damp
ness in the floor. The flying metal
showered the four men on the plat
form, who were unable to escape.
Their clothing was burned from them
and their bodies terribly scared.
Meanwhile Semlee, imprisoned in
his travelling cage above the terrific
heat of the spilled metal, was quickly
roasted to death.

GOV. MORAY OWES
TWO MILLION DOLLARS
NOTES BEARING HIS EN-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-While the
financial affairs of Gov. McCray of
Indiana, are fast rushing to a climax,
with 20 civil suits started against him
the local grand jury conducting an
investigation, and an appeal made to
the federal bank examiner for action,
the correspondent is able to disclose
for the first time certain features OF
the muddle.
So widespread have been Gov Nc,
Cray's borrowings that there are said
to be notes of his or his endorsement
in 2O7 banks in "a counties of Indiana
and in Chicago, and run, to a a. total 0ta
of between 100000 and $3,0OOOO0l.
The governor, farmer and stock
raiser by profession, has given the
impression that all his trouble is due
principally, if not solely, to the de,
preston in prices of farm lands and
products. The great majority of In
diana residents apparently believe that
story.

HELPS THE
BODY, TEST SHOWS
DR.. MARGARET KUNDE MADE
EXPERIMENT AT CHICA-
GO UNIVERSITY.

CHICAGO.-Volunteers from the
physiological department of the Uni
versity Of Chicago have proved by
lengthy experiments that fasting, hon
estly carried out over a period Of
many days or weeks, actually reju-
venates certain body processes-re-
storing impaired vigor and improving
the digestive organs.
DR.. Margaret Kunde, one of the
graduates, went IS days without food
of any sort Each day she drank
glass Of water, carefully distilled so
that it contained no micro-organisms
to furnish even a modicum of nour-
ishment, attended classes, carried on
her laboratory exercises and went
through rigorous physical examina-
ton.
THE first two or three days | felt
hungry she said "Then; after a
rather severe day, all desire for food
disappeared and for the remainder of
the period | felt splendid. I lost 10
pounds during the 15-day fast. | did
not attack my first meal ravenously,
the way they do in story books. 1t
tasted good, but seemed rather an
annoyance after | had
been getting along so well without
food"
During the time Dr. Kunde was un-
dergoing her experiment several men
and animals were subjected to similar
tasts. The experiments tend to show
that fasting is highly beneficial to
those who desire to regain their pep
and vigor and to diabetes and those
suffering from Indigestion. In the
cases of dogs that had no food what
ever for as days, they were in perfect
health al the end of the test and ap-
parently more lively than when the
test began.
DR.. Kunde regained the 10 pounds
she lost by fasting IS days in 10
days and a man student, who went
without food for IS days and also
lost 10 pounds, regained his normal
weight.

SLATON EXPLODES
SOME TAX BUNKUM
NEW SCHEMES ARE NOT TO
LESSEN BURDEN, BUT TO
OBTAIN MORE REVENUE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Former Govern
or John M. Slaton's recent address
before the tax commission, in which
he severely scored the proposed state
tax income measure, is being COM
mented on throughout the state, and
has apparently been well received.
The former governor, recognized as
an authority on tax questions, declar-
ed that the whole purpose of the in
come tax measure was not to lessen
the taxes at a time when Georgia was
in financial distress, but to raise them
and he made the startling statement
that since his administration as gov
ernor the increase in the states ex-
penses had been from six to fifteen
million dollars year, and more was
demanded.
He showed that two and one-half
million dollars more were raised I'M
der the automobile and tobacco tax
during 1928, and this money instead
of being used to operate the regular
departments of the state was appro-
priated to new purposes largely.
He said that the effect of the in
come tax was evident from its opera
ton under the United States govern
ment, which began with an income Of
one per cent in 1918, and now i'm
poses an income tax as high as GO %
per cent.
Governor S1aton said further that it
would take a host of bookkeepers to
carry into effect the income tax and
to examine into peoples affairs for
the purpose of levying the tax would
multiply the number of Office holders,
and establish an ever-increasing de-
partment.
"The extravaganza would be so
great that the low exemptions would
be made lower and the farmer and
the laborcr would all be subjected to
the payment, after the politicians had
heavily increased the expenses Of the
state" declared the ex-governor.
In conclusion Governor Slaton said
that he preferred the constitution OF
Toombs and jenkins and Nat Ham
mond and Benjamin Hill rather than
system taken from Europe, and es-
pecially so when Comptroller General
Wright, who knew more about the
tax laws than anybody else in the
state, declared strongly in favor Of the
present system of taxation and said
that it only needed enforcement.

following reports from one of the sew

ABANDONS PLAN TO
BRING BONES BACK
SWELLING TIDE OF PROTEST
IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA
AGAINST JACOBS PLAN.

LONDON.-In Difference to Eng
lish sentiment, DR.. Thornwell Jacobs
has decided to withdraw the request
of Oglethorpe university that the body
of General James E. Oglethorpe,
founder of Georgia, be transferred to
the proposed shrine on the campus
of the university in Atlanta.
1t is learned that DR.. Jacobs was
advised by the Rev. Leslie Wright,
rector of Cranham church, to abandon
his plan N view of the growing oppo-
sition to the removal of the body.
DIR. Jacobs also undoubtedly was in
fuenced by the strong opposition OF
the English newspapers and the &C
ton of a descendant of Oglethorpe in
appealing to the king to protect the
ashes of his ancestor. Further, it was
feared that if the project were prose-
cuted to the end it might embarrass
the state department at Washington.
The vault containing the bodies Of
General Oglethorpe and his wife will
be resealed Immediately and the floor
Of the church replaced
Protests From Georgia.
Referring to the protest made by
the Episcopal bishop of Georgia to the
archbishop of Canterbury against the
removal of General Oglethorpe's body
the London Times says today: This
should prove the end of the project. ,
The Times, hitherto, has expressed
no opinion regarding the transfer OF
the generals body to America, but III
its editorial this morning makes an
emphatic protest against such a step.
Resting in a 1ead-lined coffin, al
most as we'll preserved as II 1t had
been deposited yesterday, the body OF
Gen. James f. Oglethorpe was found
where It was inferred 1873 years ago,
The body of Lady Oglethorpe who
died two years later, rests beside that
of her husband in similar coffin.
Large bronze name plates give I'M
mistakable evidence of the identity Of
the bodies. Time and the elements
apparently placed only a light hand
on the venerated Briton, who laid the
foundation of the present states of
Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi, for
the only sign of decay in the collins is
slight break in a seam at the head
of the generals coffin, which exposed
