FLORIDA PUTS BAN
ON INCOME TAXES
STATE AMENDMENT, TO CON-
STITUTION FOREVER PRO
HIBITS LEVYING SUCH TAX.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Florida in
the general election adopted by vote
that will possibly be five to one con-
stitutional amendment forever pro-
hibiting the levying OF inheritance or
income taxes. Unofficial and partial
returns indicate that the majority in
favor Of the amendment will not be
short of five to one.
By adoption of the amendment Flor
ida becomes the only state in the I'M
ion that has definitely expressed itself
as being determined that there shall
not at any time be tax levy on
either incomes or inheritances unless
the people at some future date decide
to again amend the constitution and
authorize such action, says Ernest
Amos, state comptroller, who was
among first to advocate the measure
The voting on the measure indicat-
ed a uniform sentiment throughout
the state for its passage. Adoption OF
the measure was in the form largely
of an open expression against the
levying of such taxes in the state, as
Florida does not now impose inherit
ance or income taxes.
The amendment had practically the
unanimous support of banking and
business interests and was advocated
by the newspapers.

CULTURAL WEALTH THIS
YEAR is 46 PER CENT.
INVESTIGATION RESPONSIBLE
Three Million Dollars Worth of Poul-

10000 New Dairy Cows Were Add
ed. Millions for Cotton, Tobacco.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia's gain in
farm wealth this year will amount to
40 per cent and she will lead the en-
tire country as regards percentage,
according to the statement of P. R.
Bomeisler, of New York, vice presi-
dent of the Georgia Association,
speaking before the November meet
ing of the Atlanta Association of Cred
it Men.
Mr.. Bomeisler said that crop diver
sihcation and the program of the cow,
the hog and hen, sponsored by the
Georgia Association, is responsible for
much OF the great increase in Geor-
gia's agricultural wealth
Among the gains shown in agri-
cultural products were a gain of 1876
per cent in the value of pigs raised
in Georgia, as against a general de-
cline of SO per cent in the country as
whole, said the speaker.

and cheese products. Three million
dollars worth of poultry were shipp-
ed out of the state, whereas before
1924 it was necessary to import poul-
try"
Mr.. Bomeisler also called attention
to the value of the tobacco crop,
which amounted to $6,551, 659.86. He
said that during the year the crop
was around 300 pounds to the acre,
while in North Carolina it was about
500 pounds to the acre. Many North
Carolina tobacco growers already have
made preparations to move to Georgia
and take advantage OF the cheap prices
Of tobacco growing lands, he said.
Urging further intensified cultiva-
ton, the speaker stated that cotton
acreage should be cut and that farm
ers should devote more effort to in
creasing the yield per acre.
But diversihcation is the real Sc
cret of the success" he continued.

did his physicians offer encourage

however, comment upon the vitality
that despite his "a years enabled him
to live on for days when death was
expected momentarily.
The senator had attended the re-
publican convention at Cleveland at

SUN PICTURES ARE
TAKEN BY CAMERA
GOVERNMENT DEVICE USED
TO REVEAL OLD SOILS Sc
CRETS DURING EACH DAY.

One of the oldest cameras in the
world is that installed at the United
States Naval Observatory. It's purpose
is the making of daily Photographic
records of the appearance of the sun,
and particularly the aspect OF sun
spots, the strange solar phenomena
that appear from time to time.
The distinctive feature of this ap-
paratus is the lens, which is mounted
in the open, says the Washington
Star Unlike the lens of any other
camera, it is fixed and immovable, and
behind it is an arrangement which has
the appearance of a movable reflector,
save for the fact that it holds a piece
of clear glass instead of mirror.
Brings Sun Within Range.
However, it is in effect reflector,
owing to the fact that the glass is a
prism, allowing the reflections made
by the two sides of the glass to be
separated by a considerable interval
when transmitted some distance. This
reflector performs the service OF bring
ing the sun within range of the CAM
era.
The lens used is FIVE inches in diam
eter and exposure is secured by pull
ing the shutter across a six-inch open
ing as rapidly as man can work it,
or in about one-twentieth of sec
end. Photographs are made each day
shortly after noon, if the sun is visible.
The camera has a focal length OF
40 feet, whereas that of most cameras
is a few inches.

CANVASS BEING MADE

MANY FARMERS INTERESTED
IN NEW MONEY CROP, AND
WILL PLANT THE WEED.
EXPERT WILL BE EMPLOYED
Former North Carolinian Who Will
Plant 100 Acres in Baker County Is
Presenting Matter to Terrell Farm
ers and Soliciting Cooperation.

The indications are that consid-
cradle quantity of tobacco will be
grown in Terrell county next year.
Mr.. Dan w. Taylor, of Baker coun-
ty, who came to this section from
North Carolina, where tobacco is one
of the principal money crops, has
been in Terrell county several days
to interest the farmers here in the cul-
tivation of tobacco, and he has already
secured pledges to insure the planting
of l20 acres to the weed. 1t is plann-
ed to secure agreements to plant a
total of $50 acres in Terrell county,
and Mr. Taylor will push the cam
Ipaign in all sections of the county.
The indications are that not much
trouble will be experienced in secur-
ing the required acreage,
Mr.. Taylor is working under the
auspices of the Chamber of Com
merce of Albany, where, it is under
stood, large sum has been pledged
for the erection of three tobacco ware
houses, a stemery and redrying
house
The plan, if as much as $50 acres
is planted, is to secure the services
OF an experienced tobacco grower
who will visit each farm daily and ad-
wise the grower as to approved meth
DDS of preparation of the soil, plant
ing, cultivation and harvesting, for
which service he will be paid 10 per
cent of the net proceeds from the
crop. Mr.. Taylor will not be employ
ed in that capacity, as he came to
Southwest Georgia to raise tobacco
for himself, and will plant 100 acres
on his Baker county farm.

have agreed to grow tobacco and the
number of acres each will plant are

GEORGIA YAM PRICES ARE
EXPECTED TO co HIGH SOON
Georgia Bureau of Markets Predicts
$500 Per Hundred Pounds.

Prices for kiln dried Georgia yams
will run as high as 81 or more per
100 pounds before the middle Of De-
cember, it was forecast in the current
issue of the market bulletin of the
State Bureau of Markets Letters from
produce merchants, wholesalers and
jobbers as far distant as Texas were
the basis for the price estimate.
The sweet potato crop is short more
than 100000 bushels in the Unit
ed States this year and 100000 bush
els under 1928 in Georgia, giving very
sound basis for the forecast OF high
prices, according to market bureau Of
hcials.
The prices in Georgia markets at
present are substantially less than y
for sweet potatoes, running from Sis
in Columbus to $3.50 in Augusta. The
price should begin to improve within

SAYS SOULE DRAWS
TOO MUCH SALARY
STATE AUDITOR SAYS HE IS
DRAWING $4,000 A YEAR AND
ENTITLED TO ONLY $4,000.

ATLANTA, Cain the audit of
the State College of Agriculture for
1928 and 1924, ending June 3Oth,
which was filed today with Governor
Walker, State Auditor Sam ]. Slate
raises question of legality of the sal
airy which has been drawn by DR.. An
drew NJ. Soule, president of the state
college, and asks for a conference with
the board of trustees ito make neces-
sary plans by which said excess may
be returned to the treasurer"
More Than Law Allows.
Basing his findings on the law, as
defined in the appropriation acts pass
ed in 1921 and in 1923, the state audi
tor says in his report vouchers show
that DIR. A. M. Soule, president, has
drawn a salary of $4,000 a year out of
state maintenance fund and also $3,-
900 a year from the rehabilitation fund
of the federal government" and in this
connection cites the acts of the leg
islature fixing the salary at total OF
SIS, 900 a year, He turtle. says in his
report:
"As | construe these two apropria-
ton acts the salary of the president
of the State College OF Agriculture is
limited to $4,000 from all sources"
The Law.
The law which Auditor Slate quotes
is as follows:
For the support and maintenance
OF the State College of Agriculture
$4,000; provided, that not more than
$4,000 of all monies appropriated to
the State College OF Agriculture shall
be used in payment OF the salary of
the president thereof and provided
further that in the event of said pres
ident shall receive any salary or fees
from funds appropriated by the fed
eral government, then only such mon
les shall be used from the state APP
preparations as will added to the fed
eral fund, total $4,000"
The auditor further charges that
expensive automobiles are being used
by attaches of the agricultural college
at the states expense, whereas cheap
er cars would render just as efficient
service.
