HER DAY-Mother's day, the second Sunday IN
NAV. is at hand and cannot let this gentle oc-
casion pass without attempting to pay tribute to
the sweetest of Gods spirits, Mother.
Where is the man who can put his soul on pap
er that all may gaze? Your editor has not the
gift of words to express what is in his heart, but
he does know that in the soul of each of us there
is tender longing again to kneel at Mothers
side, as you and did years ago, and looking into
her eyes, say Mother love you"
If YOU have your Mother still with you, do just
this simple little act, it will bring tears OF JOY and
pride to many Mothers eyes grown dim through
wears of loving nursing, and denial
Many of us cannot be at home on Mothers Day.
Let each of us who is away that day kneel for
few minutes and pray to God in His infinite wis
dom to make each of us better and worthier sons
and daughters.
We whose mothers have joined the Heavenly
Choir have the belief that in spirit she is always
with us knows our sorrows and our joys.
If all of us could go home, and kneellng at her
side, say Mother ! love you" she would under
stand all that words fail to say.
To describe the love of child for its Mother, in
deed we must be possessed OF the speech of ang-
els On this day your editor hopes that you will
wear a red or white carnation, simple and mute
but beautiful tribute to your mothers.

HELPING PREVENT ACCIDENTS-Cas
insurance has contributed greatly to the public
welfare by striving to prevent accidents. Quoting
Jesse S Phillips, general manager of the National
Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters.
This has been accomplished i'll several ways
The companies through their trained inspectors
and engineers, have made hundreds of thousands
of inspections and have instructed their policy
holders in methods to remove or modify hazards
which have been discovered in this process. Every
year millions of dollars spent for inspections
alone.
The companies have also supported and have
been active in the work OF such organizations as
the American Engineering Standards Committee
the Underwriters Laboratories, the National Safe
ty Council, and the National Council on Street
and Highway Safety all of which are striving to
reduce hazards in business and industry.
"Finaly and to my mind the greatest contrib
ution to prevention has been the formulation OF
plans for determining the cost of insurance, which
offers rewards for safety and efficiency, and apply
penalties for carelessness and inefficency Cas-
uaty insurance has been particularly active in this
field and its plans of merit rating by commercial
izng safety have been productive of results where
other plans have failed. The influence of these
plans is felt in Workmens compensation, employ
er's liability automobile, burglary and plate glass
insurance, and in fact, in practically every depart
ment of the business

TAX REFORMS-Frankl d. Roosevelt who
is spending time in Warm Springs in writ
ing in the Macon Telegraph, on Taxation in Geor
gia confirms the need of the passage of law as
advocated by the Leader for these many years
past. In regards to the differentiation OF per
sonal property for taxation in Georgia, Mr. Roose-
welt says:
81 am told that very much the same situation
exists i'll Georgia today that, for instance personal
property merchandise in Atlanta alone is insur
ed for larger amount than the total assessed val
ue of all the merchandise in the State of Geor-
gia put together. If that is true, your personal
property law ought to be either repealed or enforc
ed"
II Mr. Roosevelt is correctly informed, and we
believe he IS, a law, as advocated by this paper,
to void all insurance policies in excess of their
taxable value, in the event they become claim
on insurance companies, would force their return
Tor taxation at their fair value The tax rate should
be lowered correspondingly, as such practice
would bring in enough money into the state and
county treasures, to defray all of the public ex-
1enses. If the state would go a step further make
the tax receipt equivalent to an insurance policy
against fire, the property owners would save at
least one-thrd more of their cumulative pay
ments going for insurance and taxes to cities
counties and state.
