GOVERNOR WILL CALL
AN EXTRA SESSION
POOR ROADS AND SCH o o L
SYSTEMS AND BAD VETER-
ANS SCRIPT ALLEGED.

Governor Walker Saturday notified
members OF the general assembly that
he plans to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the legislature for Wednesday,
February "a, 1926 The chief executive
declared that Confederate pensions,
educational advancement and highway
development will be the three items
contained in the formal call which he
expects to send out in the near future.
After stating that the educational
advantages in Georgia towns are only
fair, the facilities in rural sections are
the poorest the university system is
pitiable, and that Georgia spends the
smallest percentage of her wealth on
education OF any state in the union,
the chief executive quoted an unnamed
magazine as declaring that only an
imaginary. line separates backward
Georgia and Tennessee from progress
sive North Carolina
In his statement Saturday the gov
ernor declared that the call will in
clude no personal, political or contro-
versial subject" but will be strictly
limited to measures dealing with the
three subjects specified.

100000 MEALS ON
RAIL WAY DINING CARS
CLAIM THEY WERE SERVED
AT LOSS OF TEN MILLION
DOLLARS LAST YEAR.

The average check paid by the trav-
eler for meal in the dining car is 81
but each meal costs the railroad about
IS1.35, it was stated in an anlysis OF
the dining car business made public
at a recent meeting of the railway
executives held in Atlanta. This fig.
ure, it was further pointed out, does
not include interest on capital invest
ed in the car nor depreciation.
More than $4,000 travellers are serv-
ed daily in the $500 dining cars OF
the American railroads, it was esti-
mated.
The figures are based on reports
from 40 roads. which showed that last
year over 30,000,0Q0 meals were serv-
ed at a loss OF $10500,000 This is ex-
planned by huctuating patronage, high
upkeep costs and the limited time
each day a diner is in service.
Food supplies represent slightly
more than 81 per cent of the total eX-
pense. Ten thousand stewards, chefs
and walters draw wages totaling over
$11000,000, representing about 40 per
cent OF the total outlay.
Fuel, water, ice, stationery, print
ing, medical examinations 1.-TWO are
given each year to every member Of
the crews), telephone, laundry and
room rent for employees compelled to
lie over between runs are among the
additional items that must be paid for
out OF every dollar received for meal.
The steward must stock his car to
meet the demands of both the epicure
and the man OF simple tastes. He
knows that out OF every 100 persons
about IS will want coffee, and IS tea;
35 will ask for roast beef, with chick
en-, fish, chops and steaks following
in the order named Fruit leads all
other dishes among the desserts, and
then come buildings. Apple is the ia
vorite pie.
He orders every article of food, and
is responsible for all stocks on his
car, including the $50 kitchen utensils,
1000 pieces OF crockery and glass
ware, 800 pieces OF silver and 900 ia
|blecloths and napkins, with which the
modern car that seats SO persons is
equipped.

"BALE TO THE BOY"
is COTTON SLOGAN
FARM CLUBS FOR BOYS AND
HOME CLUBS FOR GIRLS
MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The old cotton
slogan of "a. bale to the acre" has
been changed in some parts of the
south to "a bale to the boy" News
comes from several states particularly
Alabama and Georgia, that boys in a
number of counties have grown, gath
cred and sold many bales of cotton
and these reports indicate that they
have beat their daddies" in making,
in effect, two pounds of cotton grow
where only one grew before.
Officials OF the Georgia Department
of Agriculture said today that boys
farm clubs are making good progress
in this state and they are serving a
fine purpose. If the boys on the farm
can be shown that farming is not sole
ly and wholly for the grownups, that
the boys also can farm and make
money at it while helping their par
ents, it will go far toward checking
the too prevalent movement of young
people from the farms to the towns,
agricultural department officials as
serted.
Farm clubs for the boys and home
clubs for the girls are showing the
young people OF the country districts
that they have a definite and vital
part in the business life of the farm
and the rural home and this fact once
stressed upon the minds of the youth
in txe country will do much to make
them eager OF do their share in main
tanning the business of farming, said
]. ]. Brown, Georgia's commissioner
OF agriculture.

Although numerous cuts in ta>
rates were effective at the beginning
of the fiscal year 1925 the total inter
nal revenue receipts for the period
were only S212,038,9S8 less than those
for the fiscal year 1874
The annual report OF the internal
revenue bureau, just made public by
Commissioner Blair, placed total re-
ceipts from all internal sources dur
mo the last wear at So. 5S4, 1+0, 268 COM
pared with $2796,179,257 in the pre-
ceding fiscal year.

wears. divided under the general head
ing of collection sources, were shown
bv the report as follows:
Distilled spirits, including wines,
etc, 1925, 5,902,820.28; 1924 ST.

Income and profits taxes, as here
tofore, produced the big share OF the
revenue, but, as shown by this table.
the receipts from tobacco taxes and
the miscellaneous and excise levies
again played an important part in fur
nishing funds for the government.
The monthly tobacco collections II
the fiscal year 1925 were larger, eX-
cept in one or two instances. than Tor
the corresponding periods OF the pre-
ceding year.
The rate changes in the revenue act
of 1924 plainly were reflected in the
receipts from taxes on automobiles,
parts or accessories and from the tax
on admissions. Taxes in the former
group fell off $33,327,963 and those on
admissions dropped nearly 100000
from the previous years receipts.
