CHRISTMAS FUND is

Riddles Writing Santa Letters
Send In Contributions To Aid
Poor of Americas
s44O

Looks like a lean Christmas sea-
son ahead, don't it?
But don't get discouraged, be-
cause the fund is slow getting into
its stride.
There's one encouraging feature
in today's contributions. The kid
dies are waking up. Little fellows
who write Old Santa letters are
putting their shoulders to the wheel.
There'll be lots of dimes and quar-
tiers and dollars and few five dol
lar bills contributed by the Riddles
of Americas.
Nobody knows quite so well as a
child the dreariness of Christmas
without a Santa Claus. What boy or
girl would like to be the only kid
in town with a drum on Christmas
morning? Who'd like to be the only
kid on the block with bunch o
fireworks on Christmas?
Nobody, Of course
So the boys and girls are begin
ming to pour their dimes and quar-
ters in to swell the fund that will
provide goodies for the poorer kids
here a little more than two weeks
from today. They want Old anita
to visit every house when he comes
to Americas this Christmas, and
with their contributions to the
Empty Stocking Fund they'll make
this possible, too
Who'll be the first to put ten
spot into the fund?

SENATOR George WILL
PRESENT FERTILIZER
TARIFF CUT MEASURE

Ready To Be introduced
COOLIDGE FOR REDUCTION
Georgia Representatives Com

raj Industry
WASHINGTON, Dee.

Especially Senator Waiter F..
George, junior senator from Geor-
eia, has prepared an amendment to
the tariff act which will take the
tariff of SIS a ton off sulphate of
ammonia. He is expected to present
the measure in the near future and
to begin the fight to reduce the ia
riff on other fertilizer and protec-
tive materials for the farmers.
This action on the part of the
Junior Georgia senator has been oc-
casioned by the stand taken by
President Calvin Coolidge in his
opening address to the annual con
gress.
"Cheaper fertilizers must be pro
vided," the president said. "The
agricultural needs of the nation
demand a greater supply at lower
cost. Low-priced nitrates must be
secured for the direct benefit OF the
farmer and the indirect good OF the
public. ~, 4a

president and with reference to the
amendment, issued the following
statement; "a

ATLANTA, Dec. 10. - A final

Georgia to reach some agreement
on existing difference between the
house and senate on tax reform leg
islation was made today by Cover
nor Clifford NJ. Walker in mes
sage delivered in person to the two
houses of the legislature in joint
session here today.
Governor Walker in his address
appealed earnestly to members of
the house to recede from amend
ment Of the Landlord income tax
measure by striking out the word
net and he also pleaded with the
senate to recede from its position
insisting upon the crediting of adj
vaiorem tax payments against in
come tax assessments and vice versa.
In concluding his address Cover
nor Walker appealed to the legisla-
turs, in the event they are unable
to compromise their differences to
Immediately adjourn.
After Governor Walker had con-
cluded his address and the two
houses had resumed separate ses-
sions, a resolution in the senate that
would have instructed the confer
ence committee now considering
the Landlord income tax measure,
to recommend compromise, was
voted down.
The senate also killed a house
resolution providing that the Gen
eral Assembly adjourn on Friday.
A conference committee took
charge of the Ennis revenue bill
this afternoon after both houses had
refused to recede from amend
ments thereto adopted in the re-
spective houses.
