DISTRESS AND DISASTER.


Home from an extensive study
of European affairs, Senator
Underwood predicts that unless
economic conditions across the
waters are improved, they will
produce distress and disaster
to our people at home" Of our
present attitude he says: eve
seem to be standing without a
policy, without courage of
conviction, without anything that
goes to make a man a man or a
government a government.
Seeing the problem clearly and
as a whole, he urges the adop-
ton of a definite policy looking
to the ultimate peace of the
world, and to rehabilitation"
These are essentially the
views with which all Americans
who survey Europe at first
hand and without binding pre-
JUDGES, return. Some NAV CON
slider the perils of the time less
acute than does Senator Under
wood, others more so; some may
think that one way leads out Of
the morass, while others are for
an entirely different course. But
there is virtual unity of opinion
that the United States, as a
matter both of self-interest and
OF world duty, should bear its
part in disentangling the pres
ent and in safeguarding the fu-
ture of our common civilization.

removed as far as possible from
modern politics.
Charley Brown Of the Cordele
Dispatch says: And we are for
it-for it before anything else.
Georgia needs a judiciary lifted
out Of the mire and corruption
of cheap politics worse than it
needs anything today. The dig
nifty of a court destroyed by the
corrupt methods used to put
some unworthy man in the
judges place is a tragedy on
which we hone never to have to
look-and that thing occurs in
every election we hold for the
judiciary. 1t ought to be
STONED.
Those who must enforce and
administer our laws should be as
far removed from politics as is
possible. Judges and solicitors
are human. There are some who
can serve without fear. There
are others who will hesitate, and
there may be a few incapable
of rendering a verdict or prose-
cutting a case without playing to
the gallery.
The election of judges and
solicitors and county school sup
erintendents by the people is
fundamentally wrong.

LET'S SEE THE
SUBSTITUTE FIRST.


SUBSTITUTE FIRST.
There is little probability that
the legislature will repeal the
tax equalization law until bet
ter system is offered. The
House ways and means commit
tee Monday, with 80 members
present, took up three pending
House bills to repeal the law and
by a vote of 20 to IL adversely
reported all the bills, no substi-
tute means of raising state
funds being provided in either
of them.
We understand the Governors
desire is to First repeal the
present law, and then adopt an
other. There is no man living
who can predict what the Geor-
gia Legislature will do. To re-
peal the law and then build an
other is taking a risk that is I'M
necessary and foolish.
This question Of taxation is
the one question that should re-
ceive the unbiased, patriotic
thought and time Of every man
in the Legislature. To tamper
with the tax laws is dangerous
at bests
Let's$see the substitute before
we cast aside the original. The
present law may look pretty.
good when compared with some
of the ideas we have heard ex-
pressed.
Several of the lawmakers
are studying the North Carolina
laws, which briefly, include six
different sources of revenue. The
income tax has been chiefly
linked IN the mind of the gener-
al public with that plan, but Il
is said that thiszis no. more I'M
portant than the other five, in
amount Of revenue raised, and it
il probable that one or two of
the others actually raise more
revenue than the income tax.
The plan includes, besides the
tax, which is graduated from one
half Of one per cent to 3 per
cent rigid inheritance tax, a
corporation tax, a special privi-
lege tax, franchise tax and a
tax on luxuries. 1t is declared
that under such law Georgia
would raise twenty million in
annual revenue with more ease
than she now raises between
nine and ten millions, and at the
same time, the chief burden Of
taxation would be placed upon
those best able to bear it.
Discussing the success of the
North Carolina tax system Rep
resentative Elders of Tattnall
county pointed out that in 1922
the total number of new enter
prises which located in that state
was greater than that of any
other four states combined. For
that year 1000 new enterprises,
located in the tarheel state,
compared to thirty in Georgia.
The reason for this he pointed
out, is that corporations and
manufacturers feel, under the
North Carolina law, that they
get full value for the money
they pay out in taxes and also
that their taxation rate is stabil-
lied for many years to ocme.
Stability Of taxation, he declared
is considered much more i'm
portant to industry than tho
rate.
Other plans and tax schemes
viii be brought fourth by House
members, for it is in the House
that the tax bills must originate.
No, Gentlemen of the Legisla-
ture. and Mr.. Governor, Give us
the substitute before you de-
