Opposed to Death Tax.

Thirty-two United States senators and %
governors are listed as opposed to the led
eral death, or Inheritance tax and are de-
handing its repeal in the next congress. Up
on invitation of Governor Walker OF Georgia,
a number OF other state executives opposed
to the tax appeared with him on Friday be-
fore the house ways and means committee,
which is now drafting the tax reduction bill
Governor Walker protested to the commit
tee as leader OF the gubernatorial movement
for repeal that the inheritance tax imposed
by both the state and the federal govern
ment. ought to be left wholly to the COM
monwealths In this he is supported by va
rious governors OF other states and by Pres
ident Coolidge The main contention OF the
governors is for states rights
This formidable list Of United States SEN
ators and governors who favor repeal OF the
inheritance tax illustrates the wide range
Of sentiment against a form Of doub lie
taxation, said to be one Of the greatest dis
couragements with which capital contends to-
day. After both the federal government and
the state take slices Of estates in the collec-
ton OF inheritance taxes the principal amount
is reduced until frequently sacrifice sales OF
going businesses must be made in order to
meet the levy. Various enterprises are said
to have been forced upon the auction block
in this way. Whether, however, the Inherit
ance tax will be repealed by the next con-
gress it is impossible to say, though senti-
ment demanding its repeal is increasing rap
idly.

Urge for Money Making Criminals.

A recent address by Governor. Hammill, of
Iowa, on crime conditions and the duty of
the state toward suppressing, or checking,
the wave of violence is refreshing. He has
not joined the maudlin class OF reformers
who believe the criminal ought to be treated
with more consideration than the law-abiding
and industrious citizen who pays taxes and
supports schools and churches. Instead, the
governor is convinced that when "a person
violates the law he ought to pay the penalty
OF that violation.
What Governor Hammll says about pun
ishment is true. He sees penalties as deter
rents rather than the states method of
wreaking vengeance on evil doors Yet, he
believes in reform OF the right kind, while
feeling that quiet, sure punishment will go
far toward making reform unnecessary.
The Iowa governor blames the expensive
standard OF living in this country for the in
crease in crime. He sees the urge for money,
more than criminals could make at legiti-
mate occupations, as the greatest incentive.
He is right in that The bootlegger grows
rich beyond his widest dreams Many boot
1eggers are millionaires. Highway robbers
make rich hauls. and many OF them probably
retire with comfortable fortunes Meanwhile
the burglar, the footpad and the sneak thief,
operating on smaller scales, continue their
depredations year after year while at liberty.
Grimes committed for gain no doubt are in
the majority, but the governor, in expressing
the hope for a return to the good old pioneer
habit OF living within ones means, suggest
ed an impossibiity.
1t is time OF extravaganza. The living
standard is high perhaps unnecessarily ex-
pensive because humanity in this country
runs more strongly to luxury than anywhere
else in the world. The possession Of motor
cars, expensive raiment indulgence in high
life and the reckless spending of money
these have become the passion of all classes
and out of it has come the crime increase
1t IS impossible to correct this extravaganza
The only thing left is for the law to exact
penalties in the hope of inspiring fear ii
the hearts OF those not content to work hon
estly for the comforts they desire.

Senator Ralston.

Senator Samuel NJ Ralston, OF Indiana
who died a few days ago, was one OF the
foremost democrats of a generation. Also he
was one OF the meekest. He knew humility,
and lived it from day to day and from year
to year.
Which is not to suggest that he was not
a man OF towering strength in his party.
Lincoln was a modest man, yet powerful. In
some respects Senator Ralston was like him.
He knew his limitations He never was the
egotist though he had filed high places. He
did not feel, as some statesmen have felt,
that he was ordained to accomplish any par
ticular end. Nevertheless, it cannot be said
Of him that he shirked responsibility or dodg-
ed an issue His courage. which enabled
him to meet the demands upon him, also
qualified him to first know himself.
Samuel NJ Ralston might have been the
democratic nominee for president last year.
That he would have gone down in defeat is
assured The democrats could not have won
against Mr.. Coolidge no matter who had
been selected at the New York convention.
Indeed, it is doubted that any democrat that
ever lived could have won in that campaign.
II SIMPLY was uOl q uGlLOGl dllC ESdl.
When during the fortnight before the
opening OF the New York convention the
democrats were trying to decide on the most
likely candidate for the nomination Senator
Ralston announced that he did not wish the
honor, Notwithstanding his firm stand dele
gates went to the convention impressed with
his strength and confident of his fitness for
the high office. In an interview Senator Raj
ston endeared himself to the whole nation by
declaring that there is something about the
greatness OF this exalted position that adj
monishes me against wanting to undertake
the execution Of its grave and solemn duties. y
Here is a man who sensed both the re-
sponsibilities of the office and the limits OF
his own powers. He was one man in thous-
ands. The average politician would jump al
the chance to be his party's candidate for the
presidency None got the impression from
Senator Ralston's statement that he belittled
himself The thought was that he did moi
under estimate the importance and response
bility of the office

Paroled Convicts Make Good.
From the Athens Banner.

Ninety per cent of the paroled convcts
make good citizens, so it is shown by the
records of the prison commission. Under the
old law convict was deserted at the doors
of the prison and the state relinquished all
interest in the man. Under the law of more
recent years before a convict is paroled 1t
lis required of him to have some occupation
in readiness to enter when he leaves the pris-
on and some one who stands sponsor tor
him as to good behavior during the tenure
of the parole. This system has proved quite
successful and has in great measure worked
to the advantage Of the convict as we'll as
to society. The general belief that the con-
victs all turn out for the worse is mistaken
belief Many of them under the parole sys
TEN have developed into good moral citizens,
mended their former ways and live the life
of a law abiding and normal citizen.
Under the present board OF prison commits
sioners charged with the responsibility of the
conduct of the convicts of this state many
needed Improvements have been made at the
state farm and men who met with unfortunate
conditions and by their acts found them
selves in trouble have repented, and on leav
ing the confines OF the state prison have gone
out into the world and contributed their part
towards improving the citizenship Men and
women often commit violations OF the law
unintentionaly yet the law must be enforced
and some are sent to prison who not bad
characters nor Intentional law breakers. This
class Of vioators should be dealt with differ
ent from those Of the hardened criminal class.
Consideration should be shown them and an
opportunity given to recall their Wrongdoings
and be restored to citizenship
The present commissioners have acted
wisely in many instances by exercising their
authority in paroling convicts, and the records
show these paroles have seldom been abused
only about ten per cent have continued i'll
wrongdoing and violating the law.
The governor and the members OF the
prison commission are to be congratulated on
the splendid manner in which they have dealt
with these unfortunate people.

An Absorbing Mystery.
From the Cordele Dispatch.

A skillet placed on cake OF ice was
heated sufficiently by radio waves pass
ing through the block to Try an egg The
waves also were passed through the ice to
light a lamp and likewise through a mans
head Radio continues to be an absorb
ing mystery, which, like that OF electric
ity itself. may never be wholly under
stood-DaWson News.
Scientists are but just beginning to find
the mysteries of radio. When we find these
new disclosures bobbing out OF somebody's
study we have to confess that all has not
been learned about the physical universe
In this little paragraph there is material
for sermon on education. The young peo-
pie who fail to get all they can in this day
in college or university training simply are
throwing away ali their opportunities The
last hundred years in scientific exploration
have unfolded wonderful amount of knoWl-
edge, and mankind has but just begun to learn
something OF the physical laws controlling
everything.
There is so much yet to be learned that
what we write today about what we know
would in a decade look like century had
elapsed so fast is the transitional rapid are
educated people making their way through
exploration into the unknown. What an age
we have ahead of us How little do young
people realize now that their training for use
fulness even in their own generation is a
very vitality important thing!
Here is the scientist driving heat through
an area that is wholly without heat and con-
centrating it at a point beyong in such de,
grees as to make his feat a wonderful one
and this is like the first lesson in reading as
compared with what we have coming when
radio is fully harnessed! Some day surgeons
will be performing internal operations in the
human body without ever breaking the skin!

If Winter Comes.

Dr. Jefferson Wilcox of Wi1lacoochee. es-

products to each plow operated this year.
From his tobacco crop he sold $114820
worth of tobacco to the p1ow In addition, he

had to start all over again this year buying
mules, implements, etc, and building FIVE
tobacco barns, but from this years crops he
has paid for it all and has money in the bank.

From the Washington News-Reporter.

Judge Henry c. Hammond, of Augusta, ad-
mits that he is "a struggling young lawyer"
but is so busy with his practice that he has
to work his garden by moonlight. During this
drought stricken season he couldn't raise
corn, peas, potatoes, turnips colards or any
long greens" in vegetables but he did raise
some long greenbacks" by planting one
acre with 500 roses, 5000 lockwood, 100 lar
gerstroema and he states that with his work
and the help of the Lord they grew.
He states that he carried about 200 roses to
the florist in Augusta this week. the kind the
florist sells for $500 a dozen. He sold them.
Furthermore, the nursery company put a
price upon the one years growth on this one
acre at 100000.
Judge Hammond asks this question in his
article appearing in the Augusta Chronicle:
when $1,000 worth of plants can be grown
on land in year by bum farmer and other
wise lawyer, do you think $1,000 is too much
for the land per acre? Is it not too little?"

Augustus Railroad Record.

The best August in American railroading
from standpoint OF net operating income is
the report OF the class l carriers, the total
going to $124,804665. This is below the
best month, which was October of last year.
when the net operating income was reported
to be $127, 105,089
The report, however, which is to be filed
with the bureau of railway economics, advises
that Augustus record is one for net income
rather than gross returns, since seven pre-
vious months exceeded the figure Of $555,-
366570, and the difference is explained by
pointing to the increase in efficiency that has
continued since the termination of federal
control better described, perhaps, as "scram-
bling" Motive power is more efficient, it is
pointed out, cars are carrying heavier loads
and freight shipments have been speeded up
materially.
It readily can be seen, therefore that the
class roads have improved their efficiency,
as they would have to do to make this kind
OF showing.

The Memorial Coins.
From the Townsville Times Enterprise.

From the Townsville Times Enterprise.
The Stone Mountain Memorial is lacking
the support it needs. The state of Georgia is
abjecty failing to measure up to its oppor
tunites in this regard Despite the middle
into which it was thrown by warning factions
the memorial is to become a reality and it
should be carved and paid for at once. How
can it be done?
The United States government coined five
million memorial half dollars These were to
be used for raising funds, despite the fact
that coins are not sold with very rare excep-
tons with government permission and de-
spite the objections of many of the red hot
blood Yankees in the G. A. R. Five million
coins would net five million dollars if sold
at a dollar each.
The people of this city, state and nation
are asked to buy few Stone Mountain Me
mortal coins at dollar each. They are III
reality donating half dollar but securing a
very interesting coin for keepsake. 1t was
especially designed and is most attractive To
buy one is to help this movement and to put
two and half million dollars into the work,
if they are all sold.

Expenditure or Investment.

Congress and the several states are ex-
pending more than hundred million dollars
a year on roads. Since 1916 when congress
made its first appropriation, $5,110000000
have been expended. for which there are
about 10000 miles of improved highways to
show. In this country road building has
come to be one of the largest industries.
Noting these facts and others writer in
a current magazine raises the question as to
whether or not money paid for good roads
is expenditure. He is inclined to regard it
as investment because of the comparatively
permanent character of improved roads; their
contribution to reduction Of the cost of trans
portation; the means OF nter-coumunication
they afford, and their influence in destroying
sectionalism, as he puts it. This view is one
that will appeal to any one who studies good
roads and their contribution to and influence
upon the people.
Whether good roads are an expenditure or
an investment will more exactly be deter
mined when it can be shown that benefits
more than offset maintenance. This must re-
main question until there has been sufi-
Gent experience to aid calculation Today the
public expects expenditure to be justified by
results.

The Average Man.
From the Winder News.

We have great respect for the average man.
You don't read about him in the papers and
he does no unusual or spectacular things He
simply goes about his daily duties and per-
forms them in an acceptable way. He is al
ways dependable. He has no eccentrcites, for
he is not a genius. He is not easily offend
ed because he expects no special favors nor
does he care anything about notoriety
He has family and is trying to keep up
his home and prepare his children for the
duties OF life. He is commonplace man and
lives a commonplace life. He and those like
him make up the backbone of every com
munity. He is not wealthy, neither is he very
poor. He loves his job and sticks to it faith
fully. The business OF the country depends
upon him. He is not known outside of his
own community, but he is we'll known there.
And we are sure that in the final adjustment
OF things his worth will be recognized

War on Ground Hogs.
From the New York Times.

The ground hog, because of its burrowing

titles as an undesirable resident and to make
matters worse, its weather predictions on
February are no longer taken seriously In
states where the habits OF the rodent run
counter to the interests OF the farmer ground
hogs, woodchucks or marmots, as they are
variousy termed, now face forcible election.
