A State Income Tax.

AS the session of the legislature draws near
it is time for Georgians to look at the sug
gestion OF state income tax as something
more than talk Ii may be taken for granted
that SO far as the general principal is con-
cerned, the prime purpose is to tighten the
tax burden. Certainly no one will deny that
in recent years taxes have been all out of
proportion to earnings.
Every taxpayer knows, however, that tax
reform is hazardous venture. Apparently
there is no one possessing sufficient knowl-
edge to discover in advance what the ultimate
effect of any new tax will be-and even there
were such they might have very little influence
on public opinion There is not on record any
comprehensive prediction of the tax lodging
evils that have grown up with the federal
income tax There is much record to show
that the government promised to help the
man of small means by greatly increasing
the rich mans taxes. Individual citizens are
entitled to their own opinions as to whether
the income tax has uniformly had that effect
No one argues that there is unfailing Justice
in the property tax but several centuries OF
experience prove that it has a desided ad-
vantage over any other plan that has been
suggested We deceive ourselves il we con-
denim the property tax with meHe gesture.
ct the reader ask himself this question
What is if that gives value to property
There are many factors which enter INTO a
complete answer to this question: but the
reader will readily understand thak the major
element of value is the government under
which title to the property is held Property
owners make good investment when they
nav taxes TO the government which gives
value to their property. 1t is the government
and nothing else which makes individuals
secure in the possession Of private property

State Wrongs and Parental Rights.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Considered in its broadcast and most far
reaching legal aspects and in its influence no
more significant or important decision has
been rendered by the United States supreme
court in a generation than that Just pro-
nounced in the Oregon school law case AS
constitutional Interpretation OF states rights
in the sphere of education-and, indirectly,
in other spheres-it is both Illuminating and
suggestive. AS a solemn warning against the
grave menace of certain political, moral and
religious epidemics that have been spreading
through various parts OF the country Ill re-
cent years it is i'll the highest degree i'm
pressve and admirable.
Any other decision would have been revo-
lutionary. No other decision could have been
rendered without dealing a deadly blow to
the principles on which our government is
based, without adding final nail to the col
fin of freedom which fanatical tyranny has
been fashioning since the close OF the world
war. Few intelligent people could believe that
the Oregon school law would be COnstltu-
tiOnalized by the supreme court Neverthe-
less in view OF some Of the opinions in re-
cent years, which seemed to indicate SYM
pathetic mental attitude toward new and
strange doctrines and isms, its latest pro-
nouncement carries with it distinct message
Of relief and of hope that we are returning to
the zone OF sanity and political health. II
the supreme court is not turning its back
completely upon the morbid logic OF moral
sentimentalism it now at last draws dead
line as to education which intolerance and
narrowness cannot cross.
To religious freedom and the freedom OF
speech and of the press guaranteed in the
first amendment to the constitution we have
now the guarantee of scholastic freedom and
OF parental freedom-the right OF parents to
rear their own offspring without unreason-
able state interference In the light OF this
decision that American children may study
what and where they please, without the die
tation of meddlesome intolerance, we can
await with irterest the supreme courts de-
cision on such evolution legislation as that OF
Tennessee, should it by any chance come be
fore it.

Frnu the Greensboro Herald Journal

Firm the Greensboro Herald journal.
What Georgia needs in the way of a re-
adjustment of taxes is not exemptions Tor
certain industries, but fairness to all. The leg
islature Recently made it possible to exempt
certain kinds of properties for limited pc
rod RivalriHs between communities may
force a policy of exemptions but in the long
run we believe that community will prosper
which strives TO adjust its tax rate and tax
assessments on a fair basis rather than "spe-
cial privileges"
In the last analysis it is nothing more than
a public contribution for community to eX-
empt certain industries. The taxpayers who
pay the assessments against them help to pay
the cost of prote Ction from the government
of those who do not pay.
The politicians cry about equal rights, to
all, and special privileges to- none"-but they
have brought about the present system of
unfair taxation, at least faulty enforcement
and execution.
The cambridge Post-Searchlight gives an
interesting viewpoint on tax exemptions when
It says.
Columbus has voted to exempt indus !
tries from taxation. 1t is none OF our
BUSINESS, but we do not believe that tax
exemption is wise thing. We don't be-
lieve industries want any such thing. All
they want is fair taxation and a surety
that it will continue. Here is a factory
turning out certain line OF stuff, anoth-
er one wants to come into the town.
it is made free from taxation and can
cut the throat of the old. factory that
took pot luck and came in on their
chance to do business The pendulum is
going to swing too far back, the other
way later on. Favoritism even to new
Industries is wrong i'll principle.

Foreign Debt Proposals.

Foreign nations do not dispute their obliga-
tons to the United States they bubble re-
garding methods of payment. Most of them
would like to pay in agricultural manu-
featured products, but manfestly this meth
cd is not agreeable because the United States
is itself a producing nation Nothing would
bring about hard times in this country any
quicker than an influx of foreign agricultural
and manufactured products. There is another
reason why payment in products is not agree
able to this country. American capital to the
extent of over four billion dollars is now be-
ing utilized by foreign nations in the produc-
ton OF their products They are constantly
borrowing more money for the same purpose
and if payment of obligations in products
were accepted American capital would be
largely working against itself As Mr.. Hoover
says, this is to be avoided

TOO MANY FOREIGNERS NOW.

From the Tifton Gazetta.
The Dawson News expresses the Gazettes
opiniou when it says: If there is anything
that Georgia does not need or want it is
Japanese settlers. Besides many other objec-
tions that might be mentioned it is enough
that their customs, and manner of living are
such that our white farmers could not COM
pete with them. Then, too, another and a
more serious race. problems would be added to
our troubles" We have had enough trouble
with the negro problem without adding to
our troubles by importing horde OF laps.
There are more foreigners in America now
than we can assimlate to the good of the
section within the next too or three genera
tons without bringing in any more"

Our Financial System.
From the New York Index.

Individual bank deposits in the United
States totaled $42,954, 900 on Jan. /, 1925;
yet if the depositors were all to demand
currency for those deposits at once only
even ii the total money in circulation in the
United States were closed out to them. On
Jam l, 1925, the total money in circulation
was $4,000, 930,S42 Individual bank deposits
were $42,954, $4,000, and loans and dis
counts were $31, 427717,00 The resources of
banks totaled $57,l44, 100000.
1t is thus shown that bank resources are
ia times the volume of money in the coun-
try; individual deposits are SO times; loans
and discounts 6.3 times.
During the year 1924 the total volume Of
debts charged to individual bank accounts
was $491, 69l, 423,000, or 90 times the actual
money in circulation. This represents the real
volume OF business transacted on paper
credits.

And Buy Home, Products.

at home. But when you trade at home how
many articles can you find made in the south
lit is almost impossible to get supplies OF
home made meal unless the corn. is Shpped
from the west and ground at some of the
few mills that in operation, as there is
not enough corn raised in Georgia to meet
the. demand. Our grits, put up in pasteboard
cartons, bear a Chicago label Nearly all of
the flour comes from the mammoth western
mills. The meat lard butter and often eggs
ara shipped here from the western states
Canned goods of every description bear north
egn labels, Almost everything sold at the
grocery stores in the south crosses the Mason
and Dixon Line before arriving at the selling
point What is true of groceries is also true
Of everything sold in the dry goods, stores.
Merchants report that they can buy cloth
made at the Eagle & Phoenix mills in Co

scan at Columbus, although it is frcighted

Times Have CHANGED.

Some years ago the .aris3Dcracy OF any
country would have disdainRd the offers of
tradesmen to use their nalaes ard photo
graphs in advertising goods. That vas before
publicity xame to- be known as an essential of
success in any undertaking, Nowadays prom
inent persons do not slam the do Or wlfen the
solicitor approaches, but invite aim In and
discuss the terms. After all whas is sauce for
the gander is also sauce for the goose, and
if society LADDERS word helps soap man
ufacturer to sell raore soap his, advertisement
makes her bettec known throughout the
country wherever his produce is used. And
that. it may be remarked, is what most per
sons of whatever walk in life really want in
these days of hurrying to keep ahead of the
bill collector and even with or in front of the
recognized social leader on the same plane.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth, wife of the
speaker of the house and daughter of the late
President Roosevelt, is the latest society wo,

cream manufacturers and close contracts with
them on that basis.
OF course ii royalty and nobility may do
this with propriety so may Americas social
leaders. In Europe for some years titled per-
sons have gone into business" in this way
and to this extent. Such advertising gives to
the tradesmen what the English call swank,
and the impressionable public increases its
demand for such goods as have been made
famous through publicity of this kind
1t is too bad that opportunities OF this
kind cannot be more generally distributed.
