The Governor-Elect Is Right.

Governor-elect Clifford M. Walker made a
speech at Athens recently in which ne is
quoted, in part as follows:
"Your county, your municipal and your
special taxes are infinitely large compar-
ed with state taxes, which could hardly
be decreased If all state taxes but those
absolutely essential to the maintenance
of our state institutions were dropped
only two dollars per thousand would be
saved to the taxpayers"
The Lagrange Reporter says the gov
ernor-elect is hedging" The Reporter
says Mr. Walker promised to reduce
the peoples tax burdens and at the same
time provide free text books all over
the state" 1t sees in his Athens speech
mere repetition OF Governor 1ardWickS
burning pot and kettle speeches OF two
years ago. Continuing, the Reporter
states that "the governor-elect should
have run for combined mayor, council
men and commissioners of all Georgia's
towns and counties. He evidently got his
wires crossed. '-Lincolnton Journal
The News does not know what plan Mr..
Walker has to bring order out of chaos as
regards Georgia's badly tangled tax situation.
We know, however, that he has unerringly
put his finger on the cause of burdensome
taxation in Georgia. The state tax rate is
only IS on the 81 900, and it has not been
increased in 20 years Under the law it
cannot be increased On the other hand,
county and municipal taxes have doubled and
trebled in that time, until now they range
all the way (each) from SIS to $50 on the
thousand 1t is time for local authorities to
put on the brakes and consider the taxpayer.
1t has about gotten to the point where per-
son cannot afford to own property. The num-
erous high taxes and the upkeep are more than
the property will earn. 1t is frightening in
vestors and retarding development. If Mr..
Walker can do anything to remedy this very
undesirable situation he will render the pub
lie great and lasting service. Luck to him!

Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stllman, the central
figure in a recent sensational divorce suit is
about to engage in the manufacture OF wo-
mems hats in New York city. lnasmuch as
Mrs Stillman is in no great need OF money,
having been granted 100000 year for sepa-
rate maintenance, it is apparent that she has
gone to work for works sake. She is to be
congratulated She reveals her good sense by
not going on the stage, as did her mother in
= similar situation. Work is the most certain
cure for Mrs. Stlman's trouble, and the bus
mess she has chosen will afford her ample
scope for her artistic taste.

TOO MUCH ADVICE.

From the Dalton Citizen.
Calcium arsenate is being employed
to keep lot of folks in the calcium
light" says the Savannah Press. Amt it
the truth! While calcium arsenate may
be benehcial-if judicious1y used-it is
not by great deal the prime factor in
making cotton. The surest way is good
seed, plenty OF fertilizer and proper Gull
tivation.-Dawson News.
The News in our opinion is about TO-
per cent correct. The farmer, as rule, is tn
recipient of too d much free advice.

The Alabama legislature passed resoiu-

candidate for the democratic nomination for
president Mr.. Underwood has always been
a favorite with Georgia voters, and should
he aspire to the presidency the opposition to

The total cost OF governing the people OF
the United States, according to comphta-
ton made for the Budget by William P
Helm, jr., exceeds $8,46O,O00OOO year. This
includes the cost Of federal, state, county and
municipal government About 100000 per
sons are on the public pay rolls. High as
the cost is, its most discouraging feature is
that the trend is steadily upward, and some
times we are persas&ed that the kind OF gov
eminent we are getting is not worth what
it costs. Costly government does not always
signify efficient government.

1t is not singular that there is opposition
to any change in the taxation system OF
Georgia; it would be remarkable if it were
not Notwithstanding the opposition, nothing
in Georgia is in need OF overhauling quite
so badly as its laws governing taxation.

Georgia Press Talk.

The Worth County Local wants to put the
guinea hen at work fighting the boil weevil
1t says:
The common guinea fowl, seen in the
barnyard or observed about farm homes,
is now reported to be even more useful
than formerly. 1t is said that the guinea
is especially effective in Kidding a cotton
field of boil weevils. Several of these
fowls will eat an amazing number OF
these weevils in the course OF a day re-
ports one who recently made an investi-
cation. 1t is to be hoped that guineaS
will solve the boil Weevil problem.
Wonderful possibilities in the busy bee are
seen by the Nashville Herald, which tells us
Another great source of income to peo-
pie of this section, and one that is al
most all profit, is that derived from bees.
Every gall berry fiat in south Georgia
could be made paying investment if
bee hives were stationed in them. There
is no better honey made than that gath
cred from the blooms of this shrubbery.
II is so accepted by all who know what
real good honey is. If bee colonies were
planted in these places south Georgia
could soon supply the whole country
with honey.

Lieut.. Graft near Dusseldorf early
last year. has notified Germany that
II the sum due is not paid by Sunday

effect and will be executed If Germany
does not comply.

flcers have been the victims at Leip-

French and Belgian governments are
in full agreement on the text of the
note which claims pecuniary indem-
nifty and punishment for the parties
responsible as well as other general
penalties.
Lieut.. Graft was shot March %,
