5iS5Ef STATE
TAX ON LUXURIES
lontinned from page one

Clinch, to amend the code with re-
card to control Of school systems in
incorporated towns of less than A.
900 population. The effect of the
bill would be that when towns haV-
ing local school systems are taken
into an Independent school district,
authority to control the schools
would be left with the city authori-
5ies, regardless of the towns popu-
iation. The law now provides for
this condition only in towns of A.
GOO or more inhabitants.
Chief interest among new bills in
troduced centered on a bill by
Holden, of Clarke, and others
which would impose a luxury tax
on amusements and soft drinks, the
proceeds to be equally divided be,
tween the common schools and thc
University of Georgia and its
branches,
Representative Holden, speaking
Of his bill, said he did not think
it would work any hardship ON any
individuals or business interests,
and that it would furnish revenue
to relieve a desperate situation in
the education institutions of the
state.
Mr.. Holden pointed out that the
proposed luxury tax is merely the
same tax that the federal govern
ment placed on the same classes
prior to several weeks ago. The
tax on soft drinks is to be paid
by the manufacturer or wholesaler,
just as it was paid to the federal
government, and Mr.. Holden be-
lleves that the fact that there has
been reduction in the prices OF
soft drinks or fruit JUICES to the
coalsumer or the bother since tie
tedeelTRll tax was removed. proves
that the state tax likewiseswill fai
on the manufacturer alone.
I would not be in favor of any
TAX that would have to be paid by
the bottlers," said Mr.. Holden. sfol
We know that they are already car.
rylng all they possible can in taxes. ,

Convention
BITTER AS IN 1860
w. Calvin Chestnut Tells of Bit
terness and Animosities of
Famous Gatherings

BALTIMORE, July 19.-The ia
NOUS Democratic Convention Of
1860 at the old Front Street Thea
ter, Baltimore, was outdone in bit
terness and personal animosity" by
the assembly at Madison Square
Garden, New York, according tc
Calvin Chestnut, father Of W. Cal
vim Chestnut, Baltimore lawyer
Mr.. Chestnut, who is rs years Old
asd lives at 1914 Madison avenue,
was a page at the 1860 convention
when it came to the Front Street
Theater, after 81 ballots had failed
at Charleston, S. G. He attended
the late convention through radio
loud speakers.
"rhe fight in 1860, when Doug
las was nominated on the fifty
ninth ballot, remains clear in my
memory" Mr.. Chestnut said. 1t
was a bitter fight and full of per-
sonahties. The dispute over Doug
las and Breckenridge was so bitter
that l remember many people fear
ed bloodshed would occur before a
candidate was picked.
.lIfThe4 impression gained by a
long-dtstatiea observer through ra-
diooamd9press is that the 1924 con.
ventioh was even more bitter than
that of 1861" Mr.. Chestnut added.
THE fight seemed sustained by
personal animus and for petty rea.
sons. There seemed no need to ex.
tend the voting to 1913 ballots.
The delay seemed GisgracetuI,
But a good selection was finally
made and the party split that seem
cd certain was averted. Davis rec

Coolidge are good men.
1T is said,' he went on reininiscl

an attack of septic poisoning. Mr..

Arthur Brisbane, another

can banking house, is nominated
by the Democrats for President
of the United States.
And that is THAT.
And then LaFollette. What
about his vote, in view Of John
w. Davis nomination? How
much will the Davis nomination
increase the LaF'ollette vote2
That it will increase it there is
no doubt.
Certainly hundreds of thous-
ands of democrats that did not
consider themselves as radical
as LaFollette" would rather be
radical like LaFollette than con-
sentative like John w. Davis.

WASHINGTON, July Your,
my and every Americans Capital
City is right in the height of its en-
PERTAINING season.
And, to the casual observer,
who has lived in Washington for
a term of years, this season is the
banner one for auto tourist
parties.
On every road entering The
capital, and from every nook and
corner Of the country, they come.
Washington or bust" some of
the touring parties banners read.
They reach Washington, they see
the sights, and they return home
busted.
But, in fairness to Washington,
I might add that this all depends
on the tourist himself. The city
doesn't cost any more to see i4an
any other city.
One of the most popular places
of interest is the Washington monu-
ment. When you're in Washington
you can ride to the top of it for
% cents. And you can get the
best birdseye view of the city that
it is possible to get.
If you're not in Washington,
here, are some facts that you can
have fer nothing:
The monument, erected as a ma
tional memorial to the Father of
His Country" is 655 feet high. The
base is IS feet square, with walls
15 feet thick and the total weight
Of the structure is 90,854 tons.
A stairway, as well as an elevator,
runs to the top. At every landing
on the stirway there ale granite
and marble blocks, presented by
the various states, and by various
organizations.
The monument was dedicated on
Feb. %, 1885. 1t cost $1,200,000.
Mount Vernon, another popular
spot to tourists, is the home and
burial place of George Washington,
located in Fairfax county, Virginia,
Is miles below Washington.
In 1856 the estate was purchased
from the descendants Of Washing
ton for 100000. This amount
was raised by subscription, under
the auspices of the Ladies Mount
Vernon Association" and it now
belongs to the nation.
There is a rs cent admission fee
which is used to- pay, ion. the ual-
,eep of the property. 80 ~ -

Arlington Cemetery is seldom
overlooked by the visitor. It is To-
Gated across the Potomac from
Washington and was formerly the
home of Robert E. Lee. It was
seized by the government during the
Civil War and made the National
Cemetary.
There are close to 10000 graves
on the grounds.

Worldwide Significance Of International Red Aid

struggle for existence against the pill
lage of the capitalist class and the
brutality of all capitalist governments
are pounding into the head of even
the most stupid worker the fact that
as long as there is a capitalist there
will be a capitalist government, and
its function is to crush the working
class and keep it in subsection.
The shrewd minded capitalists
have succeeded in keeping the work
ers apart. They are well organized,
but in every country they have car
ried on vicious campaigns to destroy
the organizations of the working class.
Trade unions, cooperatives, peasants
organizations-al of them have suffer
ed under the blighting hands of the
capitalists and the capitalist govern
ments. In Italy, Mussolini, the idol of
the international bourgeoisie, whose
methods they are copying in all CAPT
talist countries, has obliterated the
unions and cooperatives and has turn
ed them into organizations against the
workers and peasants. In Germany
SHINES, Thyssen and Wifi have car
ried on one vicious campaign after
the other with the aim Of destroying
the unions. In France, Spain, Norway
and Sueden, in Ems land. United tSates

capitalist prisons. Tens of thousands
more must face capitalist courts to be
sent to decay in the pest-holes of pris-
on, others to be shot. Tens, yes, hun
dreds of thousands of women and chill
dren are doomed to hunger and death
by the savage hand of capitalist "jus-
tice."
The international bourgeoisie could
not succeed in its diabolical plans
were the working class not disorga-
nized and disunited. The capitalist
class will succeed still further if the
the workers of the world do not unite
in defending their fighters. The CAPT
talists do not ask about color and COM
plexion. They are Indifferent to race
or faith; they do not ask about politi-
cal utilization. Militant workers are a
menace and must be removed; prison
torture and death are their reward.
President Wilson first heard of Tom
Mooney when the workers of Lenin-
grad demanded his release. Dato was
released from Spanish prison after
the workers of France had demon
strated. INTERNATIONAL RED AID
is THE DEMAND OF THE HOUR.

In Bulgaria, five thousand workers
and peasants have been slaughtered,
five thousand more languish in prison,
