The State Auditor.

The past few years there has been great
deal said about the creation OF new and use
less offices, but the legislature at its recent
session created one which cannot be classed
as such, that OF state auditor. This office
should be the means OF saving the people OF
Georgia large sum every year, and the ap-
pointment by Governor Walker OF Hon. Sam
! Slate OF Columbus, to the position assures
a capable and conscientious discharge OF its
duties. Mr. Slate is an experienced business
man. possesses considerable ability and is
thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the
state. He served as State Game Commits
sioner two years and the past four years has
been a member of the Industrial Commission
OF Georgia, an important Office in which he
has rendered valuable service.
Dr. George Paulk, of Berren county, a
widely known and popular Georgian will
succeed Mr. Slate on the industrial commits
sion and in his selection Governor Walker
made another good appointment.
Both appointments have met with general
approval throughout the state.

Save the Birds.
From the Sandersville Progress

Many pleas have been made to save the
birds from humiliation and to prevent the III
discriminate shooting of them by the small
boys with their first guns, but these pleas ap-
parently 60 unheeded. Every parent should
impress upon the boys Of his household the
necessity OF first obeying the laws Of the land
1t is unlawful to shoot any bird except those
which are classed as game birds, and others
such as hawks and owls. In former years
there were not so many insects attacking the
various crops as they do at the piesent time,
because the birds were more plentiful; the
woods and hedge rows afforded shelter and
thew were secure from destruction. But with
the clearing Of the woods and the removal OF
the fences comparatively little protection Is
afforded to the birds and there has been a
noticeable decrease in their numbers. For
this reason the insects have multiplied al
most beyond control, and the chief crop OF
the south has been cut down to one-halt OF a
normal production by the busy boil weevlI
DESTROYING two-thirds. Nearly all OF the cot
ten states show about the same record eN-
cept Texas. where the conditions are not so
favorable for the insect on account OF the IN
tcnsity OF the heat that sweeps over the sum
mer months. Parents should get their boys in
terested in something else and let the air gun,
shot gun and other destructive play things
alone. Unless the inroads OF the insects are
checked it will soon be impossible to pro
duce any normal crop in Georgia. The birds
are our best friends in the fight against the
insect tribes

Would Reduce Boxers.

State Senator Reibun, Of New York, thinks
II is all wrong for prize fighter to be paid
hundreds of thousands Of dollars for a single
boxing contest. whether is champion or
has-been or never-was or never-will-be
He calls it profiteering against the public for
fighters and promoters to charge enormous
prices for admission and to divide enormous
purses such as have proved sensations in the
last Jew years great many persons are
in hearty agreement with Mr.. Reibun.
Senator Reibuu feeling that way about the
so-called box fighting and box fighters, has in
troduced bill providing for reduction in
admission prices and in the purses offered to
boxers. He would limit the best seats to s.
except in championship contests, when the
maximum charge would be 81. THE reason
l introduced this bill" he explained, IS to
stop proiteerng in sport"
II the New York Legislature passes the bill
ard regulates the boxing control i'll the way
Mr., Rebun suggests it only would be taking
a step in the right direction. The influence
OF the New York ban might be sufficient to
encourage regulation elsewhere, and then the
boxer once more would be in the class with
ordinary people where he belongs The
American idea OF providing him with brick
LAYERS or plasterer's income has been wrong

No Doubt About 1t.

Some days ago there was sent to congress
petition two miles long containing the sigma
lures of 345,516 voters who ask that the Mel
lon tax plan be made a law. This largest pc
tjtion ever taken to Washington is very good
evidence that the people demand tax reduc-
ton; yet, this petition is only one OF many, all
reinforced by letters and kilograms number
ing several thousand day.
No other Legislation in years has been so
widely urged and on no other question has
there been such unanimity OF opinion. Never
has congress known more exactly what the
people want it to do, and congress never be-
fore had such an opportunity OF pleasing the
people. Best OF all there is no politics in the
question OF tax reduction; its all economic,
pure and simple. There will be no politics
n il unless some fool congressman under
take to put it in.
OF course the proposition knocks the calcu-
lations of politicians into cooked hat. They
want 1og-rolng, and want to play the po-
= Ttica1 game as they have been accustomed to
plaving it. In this matter of tax reduction the
politicians will ignore the people at their
peril

A Proposed Amendment.
From the Abel News

The Savannah Press calls attention to an
error in The News OF recent date: 1t says:
The Dawson News evidently has not
heard about the bill to give communities
the right to exempt manufacturing plants
from taxation II Editor Rainey had re-
called that act he would not have, printed
this:
The unusual has happened in Georgia
There have been two sessions OF the legis-
lature without submitting a single amend
ment to the constitution. We seemingly
had reached the point where some one
asked to put a patch on the constitution
every time an opportunity was offered.
Some automobile men are the same way
about accessories. But the car runs bet
ter without so much junk.
Our Savannah brother, who is an able and
popular member Of the Georgia legislature and
scans The News with an eagle eye, has caught
us out. We had overlooked for the moment,
that amendment 1t will be a safe bet, how
ever that the voters will not overlook it. The
constitution now provides that taxes shall be
uniform, which is just, sound and reasonable
Every citizen and all property should pay a
proportionate share OF the expenses OF gov
eminent There should be no favored classes
or special privileges and tine proposed amend
ment is one patch that is not likely to be put
on the fundamental laws OF the state.-Dawson
News.
The Abel News is against the proposed
amendment. AT first blush it appears that
every county ought to have the right to regu-
late it's own tax matters, but little further
investigation will show that it is class leglsla-
ton, pure and simple. There is no reason
why capital should be exempt from taxation
when those who toll daily are required to pay
their bit. whatever it may be. II capitalists
are impressed with certain locations as beng
adapted to manufacturing enterprises they are
not going to withdraw o. rather withhold
from that section because Of the matter OF
taxes. Most OF the counties do not get
enough revenue now to run affairs; why cut OFT
part OF it. simply to clinch an enterprise: 1t IS
desirable that we get all the industries posi-
bic, but let them come into our midst on the
same footing as comes thewage Garner and the
farmer Ii one county grants this privilege
the neighboring counties will be compelled to
do so too. in order to cope with its ne1ghDor.
Ii a community wants to furnish Tree SITES
lights, etc. in order to induce capital to invest
in their midst it is all right, but no city or
county ought 20 show favors in the matter
OF taxes.

Jews as Farmers.
From the Dayton News.

The Jew, while not generally thought OF as
an agriculturist, in fact is showing a COM
mendable enterprise and interest in this type
of service In America at the present time
there are $4,000 Jewish immigrants with their
families engaged in the occupation OF farm
ing. They are said to be cultivatng no less
than 100000 acres of land estimated in value
at SlO0.000OOO This achievement seems
even more impressive when the facts are
taken into consideration
In many places of the old world landown-
ing among Jews is almost physically lmpos-
sble either due to political prejudice or to
economic reasons. Because OF such c1rcum-
stances whatever inclination existed among
members OF this race to indulge in agrlcul-
t1ral work was stihed With immigration
to America new life has opened to these
people, and they have gone back to the native
instincts of their people which was first dem
onstrated a thousand or more years ago.
Their enterprise shows a commendable adapta-
ton OF the principle of industry Here in
America all races, if they possess the neces-
sarv desire to work, find opportunity to eX-
press their ambitions in actual accomplish
ments through specialization or general ser
vice

Riding Stick Horses.

Although the voters OF Georgia will IN all
probability have to choose between Senator
Underwood. Mr. McAdoo and Senator Reed
for she democratic nomination for president
they will not get excited over the matter, as
neither Of these worthy gentlemen has the
remotest chance OF being called to that office
7 At the recent meeting OF the state demo
cratic executive committee Mr. J. A. Hollo-
man the Washington representative and po-
Iitical writer OF the Atlanta Constitution, who
j. keen observer and in touch with national
notifies when protesting against the calling
OF presidential primary in Georgia upon the
Unusually early date that was finally adopted
said:
There is not the slightest chance for
either McAdoo or Underwood to receive
the nomination, and they both know it.
Sam Ralston OF Indiana, is the man the
national convention will finally decide
upon as the party nominee
That. in effect, is what The News said a
week or two before the committee met and
time will prove its correctness. To win next
November the democrats must have as stand
ard bearer a strong, outstanding man from one
OF the pivotal states Of the middle west who
has the confidence OF the entire country and
has not been prominently identified with
either Of the factions which have divided the
party in recent years.
Mr.. McAdoo perhaps is at this time strong
er than any one man who is an avowed can
ddate for the democratic nomination but he
would be the weakest in the general election.
For reasons not necessary to enumerate now
his nomination would be political blunder
and as disastrous to the party as was the Cox
candidacy four years ago. Senator Under
wood is an able man and a statesman OF rec
ognized force. but the north and west are
not vet ready to Join in the election OF a
southern man to the presidency. As to Sena-
tor Reed, he is running as an opponent OF the
league of nations. which is not now and will
not be an issue in the campaign. The sol
emn referendum" in 1920 settled that and the
Missouri senator's candidacy will amount to
but little.
No matter what the result OF the primary
may be Georgia is going to make its usual
error OF backing loser.

But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want OF thought;
Why count yourself among the they"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They say" but why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse;
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue,
And is it not nobler plan
To speak Of all the best you can:
They say" and if it should be so
Why should you tell the tale OF woe?

Or make one pang OF sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore,
Henceforth to go and sin no more?"

See how your heart inclines to sin;
Pity the frail, weep DER their fall
But speak OF good or not at all"

How About Home Taxes?
From the Fitzgerald Herald.

A taxation chart prepared by the National
Industrial Conference Board shows American
taxes moving steadily along a slight upgrade
from 1918 to 1915 and then shooting sharply
upward until they make an impossible noun
tain range.
There are three curves representing local,
state and federal taxes. At the start local
taxes are highest, totalling $121400000 a
year with federal taxes $682O00,000 d year
and state taxes $33000000. For two years
the curves run along almost parallel in their
gentle rise Then in 1916 there is a sudden
shooting up of federal taxes which at their
peak, in the fiscal year OF 10000, almost
touch the O0000,000 line
From that point the federal taxes decline.
But the Others which began their real climb
il 1917-1918 keep right on climbing. For the
year 1920-21, in a total of about eight and
one-half billions, local taxes are $2,4600OO 600,
federal taxes $4,903000,000 and state taxes
$1,126000,000
Now federal taxes are lower than that, with
congress planning further reduction. But
local and state taxes are higher still.
What good is it going to do to reduce the
federal taxes, and make the government live
up to ar economical budget il cities counties
and states go ahead spending and taxing
more recklessly than ever?

Who Pays Income Tax.
From the Atlanta Georgian.

Since Georgia is considering the adoption
OF an income tax some figures in respect to
the federal income tax may prove interest
ing
Forty-two thousand people paid tax in
1921 on incomes of more than $4,000.
Above 100000 a year there were only
2,4l6, and above $1000,000 there were TWEEN
ty-one. Above S3,000000 there were only
six, and above $5000000 only one.
1t is interesting to discover that nobody
seems to be able to guess who the man was
who paid on more than $5000,0000, but APP
parently he was neither Mr.. Rockefeller nor
Mr. Ford. Some mute inglorious Milton OF
finance, some violet among messy rocks, IS
thus half-hidden from the eye but the rocks
were more even than it used to be. Maybe
the poor are not growing richer but the
rich are certainly growing poorer-or else
the tax-exempt securities are holding out
splendidly.
Even so it is the showing OF tremen-
dously rich and prosperous nation.
No wonder the countries OF Europe, fight
ing quarreling and back-biting look over
eagerly and urge us to pass around the pie.

They Don't Want Us.
From the Montgomery, (Ala) Advertiser

From the Montgomery, (Ala) Advertiser
An interesting light is thrown on the Euro
mean view of Americas possible entry INTO
the league of nations, in an article by FRANCS
Hackett published in the current Century
MAGAZINE. The view is shown in number OF
direct quotations from European statesmen
who are the representatives of their countries
on the league.
The most impressive expression IS from a
Furopean statesman who hopes that America
will not come INTO the league at this time.
The league. he says, is not strong enough at
the present time to bear the weight OF Amerl-
cas- entry America he says, would want TO
dominate the league and America IS suffering
from a moral complex which would probably
be very embarrassing to its European neigh
bors. Then this man, who is represented as
"a high official of the league says that Amer
ca has many erroneous conceptions OF the
possibilities and potentialities OF the league.
And he makes the astonishing statement that
America is too capitalistic and mater1ahStc
for her European neighbors,

A Tyrant Passes On.

The death of Nikolia Lenine, the Russian
dictator, who owed his meteoric rise to power
TO German efforts to shatter the morale OF the
Cxar's armies during the world war, removed
one OF the striking figures OF the world. How
he retained his dictatorship Of the proletarlat IS
the history of Russia since 1917, when the
Reds gained control From that moment life
III Russia was turned topsy turvey. FACTORIES
were taken over by the workers, who dictated
wages and working conditions to the help
less manufacturers. Great estates were con-
fiscated by the peasants, who divided them
among themselves. The aristocracy fled to any
kind of safety it could find and the middle
class or bourgeoise became special objects Tor
the hatred of the masses. Free trade between
persons was abolished, and in its stead was
established system of government controlled
commissaries which rationed food to the
Communists, but not to the bourgeoise. The
use OF money was condemned, and gram
manufactured products and labor became the
chief mediums OF exchange.
In closing an editorial the passing OF
this modern tyrant, who had caused so much
misery and suffering, the New York Herald
says:
Ii when Lenine was dying there passed
before him procession OF the events that
kept him and his associates in power he
must have felt some pangs unless tanat1-
cism had banished all human emotion. All
he was leaving behind him was the shall
low record OF a sensational reign, a Russia
still abhorred by civilized nations, PEG
pie free from car but not free from
tyranny.
And for this, this great unfinished eN-
pertinent. a million men and women per-
ished at the hands of the Cheka, millions
more starved to death in the Volga region
and countless brutaiities were heaped up
on Russians who still held to the ideals
of home and religion.

SIN OF EXTRAVAGANCE.

From the Rome Tribune.
Census figures show that in "a states the
municipal, county and state debts in 1922 were

1912 They've increased since then. A consid-
cradle part of taxes goes to pay interest on
these debts Extravaganza in national gov

so as in states, counties and municipalities.
