CENTRAL PAYS MORE IN
TAXES THAN DIVIDENDS

The Central of Georgia Railway,
which is the largest taxpayer in Geor-
gia, paid out more for taxes in 1922
than it paid in dividends on capital
stock Out of each dollar expended
by the Central of Georgia last'year,
A95 cents went for taxes.
These and many other interesting
figures are presented in a form that
IS less confusing than the average
statistical table by President Win
burn who tells where the railroad dol
lar comes from and where it goes.
The average revenue per ton of
freight per mile is only l IA cents
proof that it is volume of business
rather than rate that enables the road
to meet expenses.
The Central of Georgia hauled
more than three and one-half MIL
lion passengers last year. The aver
age revenue pr passenger per mile
was 3 IS cents.
There has been some recent agita-
ton concerning salaries paid to gen
eral officers of railroads. The Cen
trail of Georgia pays less than one
a cent out of each dollar if
eXpends to its general officers as
salaries.
The statement gives an interesting
insight into the various phrases of the
, transportation business.

new CITRUS FRUIT
BEING DEVELOPED
"ThomasivIle Citrangequat" Is
Name Proposed for New Fruit
Growing in That Climate

BROWNSVILLE, Aoril 1O.-Tho
Thomasville Citrangeguat is the
name proposed for new citrus fruit
that is reported to possess consider
able merits for home garden uses.
This new fruit is a cross of the cit
range and kumquat. The citrange
is cross of the Chineses trifoliate
orange and the sweet orange, max
ing the citrangquat one-half lum-
quat and one-quarter each of the
sweet and trifoliate oranges.
The Thomasville citrangquat pos
sesses combined qualities Of the sweet
orange, trifohate orange and kum-
quat. Not only is it resistent to low
winter temperatures and late spring
frosts, but is fruits are of an attrac-
tive appearance, being about the size
of a lime, and. when mature, are
orange-yellow in color. It's practical
utilization is for an ade drink and
for marmalade.
One important point in regard to
this fruit in reference to its. use as
an ade is that it develops an album
dant juice content when only half
grown, and can beutilized for making
, pleasant summer drink from July
on Through the summer and early
fall when acid drinks are especially
appreciated The combination Of
the mildly pungent peel and the
pleasantly favored acid juice make
an unusually good favored MARINA
/ lade.

MEXICO TO FIGHT ILLlTERACY Y
and UpIIft the PrssSnt Public
School System.

Jose vasconcelos, the head Of the
bureau Of education Of the Mexican
government, has finished q survey Of
the country with regard to the ability
Of the people to read and write. 1t
was shown by careful census that In
some states more than 80 per cent Of
the population can neither read nor
write.
Hliteracy II more prevalent In south
ern and southeastern Mexico than In
the more northern part Of the country.
Far mora people can read and write In
the states bordering the United States
than In the ones farther south. This
fact Is thought to be due to the educa-
tional influence Of the neighboring
Americans. Taking Mexico as a whole
about 80 per cent Of the people are
illiterate, according to Mr.. vasconcelos.
During 1922 nearly sixty thousand
persons were instructed by the bureau
Of education In rsadirS and writing
alone. Ninety per cent Of them were
adults, according to figures announced
by Mr.. Vasconcelos. Construction of
eight thousand elementary schools,
which will involve a cost Of more than
when complete, is under way.
The schools are to be finished within
year.

COMMISSIONERS
TRAVEL IN UTAH

The County Commissioners of Biug-

Miller and P. j. Williams returned
+! Friday from an extended trip through
the state of Utah where they were
viewing the paved roads of different
kinds in order that they may select
the best material to be used in paw
ing the strip of road from Blackfoot
to Gibson siding on the Fort Hall In
dian reservation. The amount which
will be expended on this, project viii
be over one-quarter of a million dol
lars and will come from the approp-
Ration fund for indian reservation
roads. Only certain amount Is ex-
pended each year for this purpose ov-
er the whole United States and as the
demand is made from many sections
of the country the competition was
very great and 1t was only through
the untiring efforts of our Board Of
County Commissioners that Blackfoot
and the Fort Hall reservation were
able to secure the Federal aid. This
expense will be almost entirely taken
care Of by the Federal government
and the taxpayers Of this county will
only pay for a portion Of the engin-
eering work and slight incidentals.
Bids for contracts Of this size are US
ually let in the state capitol but thru
additional efforts of our commission
ers they were able to secure permis-
sion from the district engineer to let
the bids at Blackfoot. This will be
done on May IL and upon that day en-
gineers from all parts of the north
west will In all probability be here to
this strip Of road. The contracts will
call for the completion of this strip
of road within three months II possi-
Bile, and the kind Of pavement to be
used will not be decided upon until
the bids are all In. The very best
type Of road will be built, however,
whether it will be bitulithic or or

LET'S SHOW 'EM
ON MAY 18TH

TWIN FALLS, May 5.-Interest In
the election on May II which will de-
eide the fate of the American Falls
parts Of the American Falls reservoir
district which extends, In a non-con-
tiguous way, from West Of Buhl to
point North of Idaho Falls, including
the North Side tract, the bulk Of the
territory however, being the Twin
Falls tract, That is the opinion ex-
pressed at headquarters Of the Idaho
Reclamation association, which n
represented here to aid the undertak-
ing through local committees over
the district.
There is some opposition, 1t is al
mitted, but the belief is expressed
that it is largely due to misunder-
standing and the dissemination or
misleading statements, and are being
dissipated as fast as the facts become
known. The local committee. head
ed by Arthur L. Swim, has invited
any who map be in doubt on any ques-
ton to submit the same to the COM
mittee which Is composed OF land
owners and to a large extent OF dirt
farmers representing every unit Of
the tract.
Let's Show EN-
Although conditions here have been
only a counterpart Of those In all az
ricultural sections over the country,
reports have gone out highly exag-
gerating the situation to the detriment
not only of the Twin Falls districts
but of the entire Snake River valley
and of all South Idaho.
There seems to be determination
everywhere to utilize the election on
May IL as an opportunity to furnish
decisive answer to these Injurious
statements" said Twin Falls farmer
who, was discussing the subject re-
Gently.
: His idea was that the thing to do
was to not only carry the election BY
the necessary two-thirds majority but,
"by a whale of majority" as he ex-
pressed 1t, In order to tell the world
that the people Of both Twin Falls
tracts--north and south and Of the
SuAk0 ItIVeT vallcy Aau LILO AA8AS 0kh
1t Of progressiveness and were de-
termined to help themselves by TAX
ing advantage Of every opportunity
and especially the golden opportunity
offered in the American Falls pro-
ject.
Let's show EN-" he exclaimed.
Government Reservoir Control
Some opponents of the undertak-
ng continue to state that the govern
nent will relinquish its control Of the
Jackson Hole reservoir 30 soon a.
he Minidoka project storage may be
to the American Falls
'eservoir, In an attempt to make It
appear that the storage purchased BY
he Twin Falls north and south side
racts would be subject to the control
4 the majority storage in the Jackson
AXE reservoir.
The committee makes 1t plain that
uch is not the case. The contract
nth the government specifically
tates that control Of the Jackson
ike reservoir shall continue with tho
Tnited States government
