MARIETTA, Georgia, March Is
(By The Associated Press) Will
liam G. McAdoo declared today in
the first address of his tour of Geor-
gia in the interest of his nomination
for the presidency by the Democrats
that Progressive Democracy or Re-
dictionary and corrupt Republican
misrule will be the choice of the
American electorate in November.
"The records of the Wilson admin
istration and the Harding
administration will be before the
people for decision" he told a large
audience in the city of his birth.
Reviewing the Wilson administra-
ton, and his services in the cabinet,
Mr.. McAdoo pointed to tariff re-
forms, the federal reserve system,
establishment of federal land banks,
and the policy of the government
railroad administration as evidences
of the progressive - ples of his
party.
Contrast this progi Ve Demo-
cratic record" he said, %Eith what
has gone on at Washington during
the past three years of reactionary
Republican rule.
''There has been an orgy of privi-
lege and corruption. The Fordney
McCumber tariff bill was parsed fol
the benefit of privilege and as a re-
ward to those who furnished the
enormous campaign funds OF 1920"

Is Unofficial, but Reliable
Source, Says 9 Points
Will Be Added
GIVE RATES TOMORROW
County Tax Board Refuses to
Confirm or Deny Report
of Great Increase

Perth Amboy's tax rate this year
will be S4.67 per $100 valuation
according to figures which. although
unofficial, come from reliable
sources. This rate represents a
nine point increase over last years
figure.
This announcement will no doubt
come as a shock to many property
owners In Perth Amboy, who were
looking for a possible reduction
rather than an increase in the 1924
tax rate. The official figures will
not be announced until tomorrow by
the Middlesex County Board OF
Taxation and members of that body
today refused to confirm or deny the
Perth Amboy rate of $4.65.
The combined county and state
taxes are responsible for gain OF
one point, despite the fact that the
county rate alone will show de-
crease of two points, 1t is reliably
reported. The new five point instl-
tutional 1 :, making its first ap-
pearance this year, is responsible for
a considerable increase. There are
slight reductions this year in the
soldiers bonus, tunnel and state
school taxes.
The various assessors are expect
ed to report to the county tax board
at New Brunswick his afternoon for
the purpose of receiving the new tax
rate for the various municipalities.
Although the Evening News sue
ceeded in learning what the new
Perth Amboy rate will be it was i'm
possible to determine the 1924 tax
rate figures for the other places in
the county.
