INVISIBLE WEALTH

If yo uhave only enough money
or redit to buy yourself a home and
a few articles still classed as Injuries
such as piano, sewing machine, "A
bicycle or a Ford, the government
requires you to pay good sized tax
one each. If you are rich enough to
live at ease, without work or even
business, and buy government
bonds, you are exempt from taxes
on these. Could there be more I'M
lust discrimination? Well possibly
this one is, when you spend your last
dolla to build a home on an ether
wise unimproved square of town
property, you pay good big tax
because of your outlay. The realty
speculator who owns the rest of the
square, idly waiting for profits to
which your improvements contribute
pays but a pittance in comparison,
because his is unimproved land. The
disparity is too great in favor of the
Spectator as against the home max
er. Women voters, we, too, are eff
fected by these determinations Let
us learn why we need to vote for,
and help to correct many of the pres
ent unjust laws, by our ballot and
our intelligent influence with our leg
islators.

the hands of competent volunteer board,
who could canvass the entire field and call the
man to service, whose equipment and leader

chosen he could proceed with his job without

election, by stirring up some minority whose
opposition might give trouble.

GEORGIA PEACHES

Each summer the travelling pub
lie has a complaint to lodge against
hotel and restaurant Keepers through
out the state because they do not
serve peaches at meals. In one town
a travelling salesman induced gro
Ger to prepare him an order of peach
es and cream at his store, as he new
er had them on his table and any
insistence for a special order was
both reluctantly and extensively
granted This complaint was made
against hotels and cafes in the Geor-
gia cities, as we'll as the smaller tows.
Chambers of Commerce might well
interest themselves that Georgia
products especially of such fame as
our melons and peaches, should be
set before the travelling public in all
their charm. Men remember for
a long time a place associated with
something especially good to eat. Ev
en- the realtors might use this ten
dency to their advantage in selling
Georgia.

TAXES

What can we do about taxes? Ev-
eryone understands how necessary
they are to provide public neccssi-
ties, protection and comfort, yet al
most every one will attempt to evade
their own full and just apportion-
ment 1t is surprising how honest
people, otherwise honest, will make
one return of their household effects
for insurance and another one vast
ly different for their tax returns.
Suppose insurance companies would
base their estimates on your proper
ty by your own valuation as you give
to the tax assessor, would you be
well protected against fire? What is
our standard of valuation? Do we
not ease our consciences by looking
at the other fellows returns and de-
claring to ourselves that he has more
than we, hence ours should be just
so much less, or else do we not look
at last years returns and say it
should be no more than that, and
probably less? Just so long as we
can fool ourselves, and do net raise
the question of honesty at all.

SOME MERCHANTS DECIDE
 TO OPEN SATURDAY NIGHT
Will Not Observe Schedule Approved By Others For Wcek-End
 Hours Revision.

A decision of the Chamber of Commerce to have stores open on Friday evening and close Saturday evening will probably be ignored by a large number of merchants, it was learned today in a discussion of the situation with several merchants.
 Those who favor continuance of the present schedule, providing for the opening of stores on Saturday night only, claim 90 per cent of the store interests are lined up with them and only 10 per cent favor the change. In fact, it is claimed, three store owners engineered the change which was put through at a meeting several weeks ago.
 It is the claim Of those who favor the present schedule that store em- ployes in particular would suffer by q revision of the schedule since they would be required to put in q hard days work on Friday and then report for d second day of had work Saturday, Under the present system the one day in the week when there is an overtime period Saturday, is followed by a general day of rest,
 Saturday night closing will come up for another discussion at the Chamber of Commerce rooms tomor- row morning. Some merchants have voted to close Saturday nights at 6 o'clock, and there has been consid- erahle discussion ever slnce as to just what they did vote.
