RAIL HEAD PREDICTS HEAVIEST TRAFFIC IN
 HISTORY DURING 1923

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 3.-Discuss- ing the outlook for 1923, W. A. Win burn, president of the Central of Georgia Railway company. announces his belief that the railways will be called upon to handle freight traf fic far heavier than has ever been known. He says that this situation places responsibilities both upon the railways and upon the public; that the railways must bend their ener- gies to make the best possible use of existing facilities and to enlarge and improve those facilities as rap idly as can be done. while the public should adopt a policy toward the railroad companies which will permit them to attract new capital to pro- vide for improvement and expansion.
 The term "car shortage" does not merely imply lack of sufficient num- Der of freight cars, according to MT Winburn. He says if that were all the remedy would be Comparatively easy; but that the nations business has outgrown the nations transpor- tation plant There is need for in creased motive power, enlarged ter minals, new lines and improved tracks which can be supplied only by the expenditure of huge sums of new capital He points out that there are certain simple and effec- tive methods by which shippers and receivers may assist in relieving the "car shortage" such as loading cars to maximum capacity, prompt load ing and unloading of cars.
 As to the general situatira the railway president is optimistic. He says that agriculture is in better state than at any time since the war, that long delayed building program Is in full swing, textile looms are busy and southern mines are mak ing production records.
 In closing he pledges the best en- deavors of the Central of Georgia to- ward a creditable and efficient rec ord during the coming year and thanks the public for an intelligent interest and helpful spirit of co-op- eration.

TAX BURDENS GROW
THROUGH INCOME TAX
Former Governor Siaton o.
poses Change in Georgias
Present Tax System

ATLANTA, Oct. 15.-Former
Governor John NJ. Slaton, of Geo
gia, in IN address here Defore the
FAX Commission, severely scored
the proposed state income tax meas
IRE and his remarks, which are now
being commented upon throughout
the state, have apparently been
well received.
Inc former governor, recognized
as an authority on the tax ques-
tons declared that the whole pur-
pose of the income tx mea ure was
not to lessen the taxes at a time
when Georgia was in financial dis
tress, but to raise them and, he
made the startling statement that
since his administration as cover
nor, the increase in the State's
expenses had been from six mil
lion tC fifteen million dollars a
year, and more was demanded.
He showed that two and one half
million dollars more were raised
under the automobile and tobacco
tax during 1928, and this money
instead of being used to operate
the regular departments ole the
State was appropriated to new pur-
poses largely.
He said that the effect Ct the
income tax was evident from its
operation under the United States
Government, which began with an
income OF one per cent in 1915,
and now imposes IN income tax as
high as Sc % per cent.
Governor Slaton said further
that it would take host Of book.

levying the tax which would multi
ply the number of office holders
and establish an ever-increasins

great that the low exemptions
would be made lower and the far

politicians had heavily increased
the expenses Of. the State" de

In conclusion Governor Slaton
said that he preferred the Con

from EWopc, and especially SO
when Comptroller General Wright
