EX-CONGRESSMAN
FLAYS HEAVY TAXES
SAYS EXISTING SYSTEM TAX
ALTON ADMINISTERED is
NOTHING BUT SOCIALISM.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Perversion oil
misuse OF power to tax and regulate
commence conferred upon the national
government can and has resulted in
the serious curtailment Of rights OF
private property, as some OF our
statutes bear mute and startling testi-
mony." w. G. Brantley, of Washing
ton, D. c., former congressman from
the eleventh Georgia district, told the
members of the Georgia Bar Associa-
ton assembled at Tybee Island.
The arbitrary exercises by the ma
tional government OF its unlimited
powers of taxation and regulation can
easily result in a taking from those
who it is thought have too much and
giving OF it to those who have not
enough thereby establishing the bal
ance contended for by socialism, he
said. The unlimited and undestraned
exertion OF these powers can easily
result in the complete overthrow OF
what socialism dominates as capital
ism, and manifestly a system OF. taxa
IlO0 WHICH ldhCS OlllS IlCilA nv NV -
order that the many may spend IS
nothing but socialism
Agreement to recognize and protect
the right of private property was a
fundamental part OF the principle of
social compact upon which the gov
eminent is founded, he declared, in
the federal constitution, as originally
framed, he pointed out, there was no
distinct words employed regarding the
right of the United States to trespass
upon the "unalienable rights" OF per-
sons and property, and so came very
near the first ten commandments to
the constitution, the fifth of which
provides that private property shall
not be taken for public use without
Just compensation
1.-THE danger that menaces us, the
speaker concluded, is the undermin-
ing OF the foundation upon which our
government rests. The cry for a new
government is heard in the land. 1t IS
a cry to which we must give heed for
it has power behind it as is evidenced
by the disastrous changes already &C
complished."
Mr.. Brantley gave it as his opinion
that the time has arrived when those
who would preserve our rights OF lie,
liberty and property and maintain the
supremacy of the law should actively
bestir themselves"

AvERTs SERIOUS FIRE
Woman Discovers North End Blaze
 Saves (. 4. (. Building

4 serious fire in the north end of the city was narrowly averted Mon- day night wheE woman resident in that section discovered a box of blazing sawdust before the flames reached the C. A. C. building, which would have probably been destroyed. Someone's earelessness in throwing a lighted match or cigarette in the sawdust box; a easing for a refrigera- tor line passing from a nearby mar ket through the rear of the C. A. C.. building, is blamed for the starting of the blaze. Men nearby were sum- moned and put out the blaze without the necessity of summoning the de- pertinent. The building in which the Canadian Athletic club makes it's headquarters is large wooden
 ''-ra. The proximity of other wooden uE-- ..lsT makes his spot a dangerous fire hazard.
