That is plain business statement

that the suggestion Of an income
tax is unpleasant. but some way
must be arrived at whereby we can
reach the intangible and invisible
taxable property of the state. Two
Of the ways now being studied by
the legislature are an income tax

states and have proved successful!
and satisfactory. Some states wor!;
the two in combination. 1t is up to
the legislature to say which o;
these will best meet the needs ci
Georgia. We must reach some work

and boy can enjoy the same edu

larger towns, and at the same time
relieve the farmer of carrying the

Governor Walker also spoke of the
tremendous power of public senti-

Sweet Potatoes Are
Shipped From Lyons

LYONS, Ga, July 1S.-The second
car Of big stem Jersey sweet pota-
toes is being loaded here Monday.
The car that left Saturday had 225
barrels Of sweets in it, and, judging
from wires received from the mar
kets should bring a good price when
they arrive in Philadelphia The
quality and the yield of the potatoes
has been unusually good this year
in spite of the fact that the weather
has been against the farmers. W..
l.. Duncan probably led the bunch
when the acres ne dug for the car
last Saturday yielded an average of
100 bushels of marketable potatoes
to the acre.
This industry started here year
before last when Mr.. Duncan and
some other farmers shipped a car
north. Last year they shipped three
cars, This year the yield should be
around ten cars.
Elmo Ragsdale. Of the state bureau
of markets, arrived here Tuesday
morning to- make a survey of this
promising industry and especially
to determine why these potatoes
have succeeded so we'll here when

IS VOTED IN HOUSE

The resolution of Representative

invest cation of the state highway de-
partment amended so as to authorize
a thorough and complete eXamina-
ton Tuesday was passed by the
house as "a committee of the whole,

was SO reported to the house and
takes its place upon the calendar.
Three other resolutions, one of
them from the senate, authorizing
Investigations of the department,

that they be not passed. Action by
the committee came after several
days of debate and submission of nu-
merous amendments 10 the. various
resolutions. Nh. McMichael We'd
nesday was to offer a resolution that
the question of the house authoriz-
ing the investigation be taken up for
consideration as early as possible.
There was considerable specula-
ton among members as to what the
senate would do with the McMichael
resolution since the house turned
down the resolution of Senator Pace
which had been adopted in the SEN
ate. The McMichael resolution pro-
vides for a joint investigation by a
committee from both houses and
therefore must be approved by the
senate before it becomes effective.
After the house as a committee OF
the whole had rendered it's favorable
report On the amended McMichael
resolution, the lower branch took up
for consideration one of the bills to
repeal the taX-equalization law, but
efforts to bring about a vote were
lost when it was voted bV a narrow
margin to adjourn until Wednesday,.
