Former Governor Tells Atlanta

EXPERIMENT DANGEROUS
Says Foreigners Trying Now to
Fo:st European Ideas of Tax
alton on This Country

ATLANTA, June 12.-Charact
tcrizing plans for increasing tax
alton of real estate in Georgia, as
sociaHstic, experimental and dan
gerous to the welfare of the state,
former Governor John M. Slaton,
speaking before the Atlanta Real
Estate board, declared himself I'M
alterably opposed to the movement
for levying more taxes on realty
such as it is predicted will be
brought up at the coming legisla-
Five session.
"There is nothing new about
such ideas, juts as there is moth
ing NEW about BoltheQism," he
said. Both have been tried out
many times and found wanting
during the history of civilization,
Increased taxes on real estate will
strike at the basis of wealth pro
duction and will do more to kill
initiative than anything that can
be done.
Georgia has been coming to the
fore rapidly under our present
system and it is folly to change
it for a dangerous experiment. II
is in the sections of the country
over-run by foreign-born peoples
that such ideas usually are pro-
duced. These people aer attempt
ing to foist European ideas off
on America, and European ideas
on subjects are not to be trusted
at the present time as is shown by
the sad state of affairs over
there"

GEORGIA PRODUCTS
URGED FOR GEORGIA
Secretary of Millen Chamber OF
Commerce Shows How States
Newspapers Can Aid
cs III z

MILLEN, Feb. 24.-An education
al campaign advocating development
OF Georgia's mineral wealth, diversi-
fled farming, cooperative marketing
and home consumption of Georgia
products is urged by W. R. Critics,
secretary of the Millen chamber of
commerce.
home consumption of Georgia pro-
duets, Mr.. Critics declares to be es-
sential to the states prosperity.
Through this practice, he says, Geor-
gians would aid development of the
states natural resources and manu-
featuring. He wants cooperation of
the editors, suggesting a "streamer
head across the top of every news
paper in the state for year, calling
upon the consumer to demand home
products.
After enumerating a score or more
articles which he says Georgians buy
in northern and western markets.
and which he asserted can be pro-
duced and purchased within the state,
Mr. Critics today presented the fol-
lowing program for advancement of
home industry:
An educational campaign to stimu-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-02-24

and swine, Mr.. Critics declared to be
the means for Georgia stockmen to
compete with northern breeders, who
he said, have specialized for years
in breeding for the market.
"A cooperative system Of market
ing should prevail in every basic COM
modify the state produces" according
to Critics. California can teach US
4 lesson in these things. When she
goes to market she appeals to the
trade in just two things-quality and
California. The producer is lost
sight of and the commodity and
state are supreme. In this way Cali
tornia has made her products known
the world over, Through business
like combination the producer has
made it possible to advertise, and
make his own markets and prices di-
rect to the consumer. No expensive
tribute is paid to the middleman
and thus tn additional profit is OBJ
cained for the farmer.
But the fight must be carried to
the consumer, he asserts, adding he
has found what seems to be an "abso-
lutte prejudice against home commo-
dities,

who know him.
For years he has been known as

I Gcorgia's commercial mineral depos-
its, asserting nowhere else in the
world is found such a diversity of
minerals within the same area. The
mineral belt, he said, extends entire
ly across the states, its southern
boundary running from near Waynes-
boro to Columbus, and contains de-
posts ranging from coal and iron
to some precious metals and stones.
This state products half of the coun-
try's output of ochre, he pointed out,
while practically all of the asbestos in
the United States is und in Geor-
gia, only one other state having de-
posts.
Had the mineral wealth of
Georgia been properly developed"
Mr.. Critics declared, today there
would now be somewhere within cir
Gle drawn around the cities.of Rome,
Gainesville and Cedartown, city
as large as Pittsburgh, teeming with
Industrial activity and contributing
to the wealth of the state. Continu-
ing he said:
Some years ago happened to be
m one of the small cities in this min
eral belt. It's citizens boasted of ship
ping more iron ore than any other
section Of the state, but the sky was
unsmudged by smoke of smelter or
retort. In their pride Of shipping the
greatest amount of ore they were
overlooking the greater wealth of
conversion of the raw material to the
finished product.
"A few days later in another city
| saw displayed fifteen different min
erals, ranging from three kinds of
iron ore, coal, lime, bauxite, asbestos
and on down to gold quartz, but the
smoke and fire of industry was not
there.
Sufficient clay and koaln deposits
to supply the potteries of the world
are found in the coastal plain area
Of Georgia. Mr.. Cites says, adding
that British pottery maker'in 1855
favorably commented on pottery
manufacturing possibilities in Geor-
gia, saying deposits here were equal
if not superior to British deposits.
The British manufacturer then eX-
pressed fear Georgia would cut into
his trade, but nearly two centuries
have passed and nothing has been
done to realize his fear" Mr.. Critics
says.

HERETRIBUTE
TO SCHUBERT
Blossom Time" Based Upon
Episode of the Famous
Composer of Light Operas

One of the most delightful plays
of years, Blossom Time" direct
from its record-breaking run in New
York, will begin limited engagement
of one night at the Auditorium,
Tuesday, Oct. 10th. There will be the
Century Theatre, New York, cast and
production intact, under the direc-
ton of the Messrs. Lee and J. J. Shu-
bert.
Blossom Time" was originally pro-
duced at the Ambassador Theatre in
New York. 1t ran there for an entire
year and was then moved to the
Jolson Theatre, where, after many
months, IT, was again moved to the
Century Theatre. As almost every
one knows, this memorable operetta
is based on an episode in the life of
Franz Schubert, the great composer,
and Schubert himself is, of course,
the chief character in the action. The
book and lyrics Dorothy Donnelly
adapted from the original Of A. NJ.
Wilmer and H. Reichert. The score
is made up almost entirely from the
songs and other unforgettable mel
odies which have been sung and
played by all music lovers for over
hundred years. There are other
compositions by H. Berte and all the
music has been adapted by Sigmund
Romberg. The work as d whole was
staged by J. c. Huffman, the dan
cling numbers by Frank Gillespie, and
