GEORGIA NEGLECTING
NATURAL RESOURCES
CENTRAL ROADS PRESIDENT
SAYS STATE SHOULD MAN
UFACTURE MATERIALS.

The possibilities for development OF
the natural resources of the south are
discussed in an interesting manner by
L. A. Downs, president OF the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company,
who has given niue htime and thought
to this important topic.
Mr.. Downs points out that real
progress is dependent upon the devel-
opment of both industry and agricul-
ture. He shows how by-products Of
the peach and pecan can duplicate the
growth of cotton seed into a great
business. He also points out the ex-
ceptional opportunity for the stock
raiser.
Scarcely Touched.
Quoting the figures as to the great
growth of textiles ag'a the phenome-
nal development of the coal and rion
industry he says that possibilities in
other lines are boundless and have
scarcely been touched. The weak point
is the fact that so many raw materials,
especially minerals are being shipped
elsewhere for manufacture instead of
being manufactured at home.
The superiority of kaolins has been
proved, but manufacture lags; for in
stance. there are no light colored face
brick manufactured in either Georgia
or Alabama, although Georgia clays
make an excellent face brick, and
there are about billion such brick
made annually in the United States.
Barytes, Alabama graphite, Fullers
earth and mica all await developments
OF 81 commercial minerals A are
found on the lines of the Central OF
Georgia.
President Downs pledges the Co
operation of the agricultural and in
dustrial departments Of the Central OF
Georgia in developing the natural re-
sources OF the section through which
the railroad runs.

Tax Attorneys Are Making Large
Fees Representing Taxpayers. Many
Current Rumors of Graft and Cor
ruption Are Unfounded.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-After a
week of hearings in its inquiry into
the affairs of the internal revenue bu-
reau, the special senate investigating
committee has developed these points
/. There will be political bat
tie in which the question will be
whether income tax returns are to
be made public.
?. The committee will seek to
make unnecessary the employ
ment of expensive tax experts, at
least ini many cases i'll which they
now must be employed.
5. The old feud between sena-
tor Couzens and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, two OF the rich
est men in the country, is being
renewed.
Many Rumors Without Foundation.
In the senate investigating commit
tee Senator Jones, democrat, OF New
Mexico, and Senator King, democrat,
OF Utah, have expressed the opinion
that many OF the rumors OF graft and
corruption in the internal revenue bu-
reau would have no foundation if the
proceedings in the settlement OF cases
were public.
So far the inquiry has been along
the line of the employment OF tax ex-
perts, many of them former employees
OF the bureau, to represent the tax
PAYERS in efforts to have additional as
sessments wiped out or to have tenta-
tive assessments cut down. 1t has de-
veloped that one man who had S.
900 salary in the bureau is making,
by his own admission, $4,000 year
out of it, while another increased his
salary fourfold when he became
practicing attorney representing tax
payers before the bureau.
The testimony has brought out that
these tax specialists have maintained
large practices because OF the many
rules and regulations and intricate
problems involved in income tax cas-
es. 1t also has been said that in many
cases taxpayers are not informed OF
their rights until they are approached
by these tax attorneys.

PHOTO PLAY TEACHES
LIP READING ART

Lip reading is becoming a pop
ular study With many Who have
deaf friends. School pupils find
the study Of lip reading not only
interesting but often useful in
conveying a message across the
room. Perhaps the art would not
have developed to the extent it has
had il not been for the motion pc
Ituros. The silent drama has made
every person who visits motion pic
IRE theaters deaf so far as tie
speech Of the characters upon the
screen is concerned
5ubconsciously the spectator, in
watching the lip movements of the
characters, distinguishes some Of
the words Of the speaker. In form
or Gays the lip reading and the
Sides frequently would conflict and
this led to the present care in
making spoken words conform with
printed sub-titles.

the first directors to realize that
words spoken in the studio were
transmitted on the screen by meaus
of vision. He experimental III

.cin9tng phenomena until able Ia
produce whole scenes in which a
spoken title was not needed. The
action and lip reading conveyed the
words So exactly that there remain
ed no doubt in the mind of a per-
son as to what was being said.

ATLANTA, July II. Good roads

today that It wodld take a halt

The present income OF the state
highway department has been ms
taGenly estimated, il was pointed
out, to be between seven and elsAc

Guided two millions Of auto tag tax,

from the 3 cent gasoline tax,

The actual present income Of the
State Highway Department is a MI

This, advocates of a bond issue
assert, is woefully inadquate to
