WORDS OF WISDOM

Religion is the best armor that mar can have, but it is the worst cloak.--Bunyah Ambition is the dropsy of the soul, Whose thirst we must not yield to, but control. .--Sedley. We are more inclined to hate one another for points on which we differ than to loy' one another on points on which we agree c. c. Cotton.

NIxrsT V2r p0VTTr OVER RADYO

Political candidates who use the radio to broadcast their speeches in Massachusetts must be polite. Rules issued by broadcasting station in Boston recently-the first of the kind promulgated in Massachusetts-say that "a man may talk about what he stands for, what his party stands for, etc, but he may not revile or attack his political opponent or any other party" If speaker violates this rule, he is warned, he will suddenly find that the current has been switched off and he is talking into a "dead" microphone.- New York Times.

Some of the Georgia daiIies have not yet become accustomed to the exact terms to be used in stories of the tobacco industry, com paratively new industry for this generation of reporters in the state.

PRECISE METAPHORS

A reactionary wants to use the reverse gear all the while. A standpatter is happiest when the car is stuck A conservative wants to go along carefully, observing all the regulations. A progressive is inclined to step too hard on the gas now and then. A Socialist wants the government to own the earth and sit at the wheel. A Communist wants nobody not be- longing to the proletariat to have a ear. An anarchist wants to take out the steering ap- paratus and breaks and give her the gas.-- Worcester Telegram.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
TAX MEASURE
Declares, However, That Bill is Un
satisfactory and Will Bend Ef.
forts To Improve It at Next
Session of Congress

President Coolidge signed the tax
reduction bill Monday, but de.
clared that it was unsatisfactory
and that he would bend all his
energies to obtain enactment of a
better measure at the next session
of congress.
The bill, which decreases tax
rates in most instances to the low
est level since 1911, and which was
the basis Of the hottest executive
fight OF the present session OF con
gress, was deelo' ed by the prcSi-
dent, in a $500 word statement
issued cGincident with his approval
of the measure, to represent merely
tax reduction, not tax reform"
THE bin does not represent a
sound permanent lax policy and its
passage has been subicrt to uu!or,
tunate influence which ought not
to control fiscal ouestious,' thc
executive said 'Still in spite 0l
it, obvious defects. its advantages
as Temporary relief and a tempo,
rary adjustment Of business cond!-
tions, in view Of the uncertainty
Of better law within reasonable
time. lead me believe that the
best interests Of the country would
be subscrvcd if this bill became Il
law.
"A correction Of its defects may
be left to the next session of con
moss trljs4 n hin less uclitical
and more truly economic may be
passed ot that time. 10 that end
shall bend all my energies.
The bill as approved by the pres
idpnt. reduces the taxes of almost
every federal taxpayer and cuts
down the federal revenues by an
amount estimated at 1851 00O,0 600
for the next fiscal year. This re-
duction, however, will not result in
any deficit. according to treasury
experts.
