FEWER TAXES WOULD
INDUCE SETTLERS
TOO MUCH TAX KEEPS MANY
PEOPLE FROM LOCATING
IN STATE OF GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The great boom
in Florida lands has drawn THOUSANDS
of people from Georgia. Hundreds
and hundreds have gone from Atlanta.
Some were looking for jobs. Some
were looking for investments. Many
went to take good jobs. Hall dozen
bright young bankers from Atlanta
were Offered places as vice president
or president of banks and they moved.
Georgia's highways were thronged
all winter with tourists passing
through on their way to Florida.
Floridans who stop off here say that
their great prosperity is due to the
inpouring of new wealth drawn there
bv the laws which exempt incomes
and inheritances from state taxation.
FORMER Georgians have written back
that Florida is drawing capital and
settlers from her old rival, California
Out in California taxes are very high,
especially taxes on estates or inherit
ances. Florida has none.
Reports have come to Atlanta from
all parts of the state that many menu
bers OF the legislature favor abolish
ing Georgia's inheritance tax, believ-
ing that it would induce thousands OF
and investors to stop off
and locate in Georgia where the soil
and climate are ideal.

a MILLION POTATO
PLANTS SHIPPED
INDUSTRY HAS ASSUMED BIG
PROPORTIONS IN SOUTH
GEORGIA COUNTY.

BAXLEY, Ga.-One days ship
ments of yam plants from Bailey by
express and parcel post exceeded four
million, setting an all-time record for
the south.
Every southern state where the yam
is a staple product was represented
by numerous shipments, this belt eX-
tending from Virginia to Oklahoma.
In addition there were one or more
parcels each to Kansas, California, Hi
nois, Missouri, Nebraska, Indiana,
Colorado, New Mexico and Maryland,
states where the yam has been regard
ed as an exotic product. A distribution
covering p states in a single day is
believed to establish the county's claim
for supremacy in yam plant producr
ton beyond controversy.
The widespread interest in yams is
indicated by the TACT that the methods
of local growers are being studied by
representative OF the department OF
vegetable gardening OF the New York
State College OF Agriculture at Cor
nell University. Early plants from
Appling appear likely to extend yam
growing all over the United States in
few years. The estimated output Of
local growers for the season is $50
million.

TEN STATES PUT
BIBLE IN SCHOOLS
GEORGIA is AMONG NUMBER
THAT REQUIRE DAILY READ
ING OF SCRIPTURE.

Ten states in this country require
daily reading of the Bible in the pub
lie schools. In seven other states the
exact opposite is the rule. In the 9th
er states there are no laws against
the reading of the Bible, and the prac-
tice IS more or less common.
The ten states having positive laws
recurring the reading OF the Bible in
the schools are Idaho, Alabama, Geor-
gia. Tennessee, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, d ware e,
Kentucky and Maine. Idaho just re
Gently joined this group.
In most of these ten states, how
ever, the law carefully states that the
teachers must not comment on the
scripture passages they read. In Geor-
gia and Tennessee excuses can be &C
cepted from pupils whose parents do
not wish them to be present when the
Bible is read
The states in which the opposite is
the rule are New York, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Nevada, Arizona, Califor-
mia and Illinois. New York city
schools, however, have Bible readings
because they operate under a city
charter.
In New Mexico, Oregon and Mon
tana there are no laws against the
reading Of the Bible, but as a general
rule the Bible is not read.

COOLIDGE TO END
USELESS BUREAUS
STORY OF ROSE BUSH GUARD
ILLUSTRATES PURPOSE. IS
CONDUCTING A SEARCH.

WASHINGTON, d. Although
President Coolidge has no authority
under existing law to abolish boards
and bureaus in the government which
are found to be unnecessary or ex-
travagant, he is conducting a search
ing inquiry into all branches of the
government so as to be able to rec
ommend abolition of those which can
be spared.
This statement was made at the
white house today to clarity reports
in regard to the presidents activity
along this line. Among other things
it has been said that he was consider
ing discontinuance of the Federal En-
ployes' Compensation Commission and
that his failure to name successor to
John ]. Keegan, of Indiana, former
member of the commission, whose
term expired some weeks ago, was a
forerunner to this action.
In connection with the search being
made for Anticipated and unnecessary
bureaus and boards it was declared the
president was reminded of the story
OF the sentinel who had been posted
daily at certain place in the garden
of a palace Inquiry developed that
sentinels bad occupied that same po-
sition for 100 years, and further in
quiry showed that hundred years be-
fore the empress had magnificent
rose bush on the spot and ordered a
sentinel posted there to protect the
bush. The order had never been re-
voked, and, though the rose bush had
been gone for many, many years SEN
tinels still stood guard over the spot.
The president, it was said, expects
to find a comparative condition in some
of the government departments.

MORTALITY FIGURES
MAKE FINE SHOWING
DEATHS IN GEORGIA FROM
VARIOUS DISEASES REPORT
ED BY HEALTH BOARD.

State health authorities are grained
at the results obtained in 1924 in their
fight on typhoid fever and malaria IN
Georgia according to DR.. T. F. Aber-
crombie, secretary OF the state board
of health. Deaths in the state from
typhoid fever averaged 1887 per 1000
deaths we're 16.45 and negro deaths
while deaths from malaria were l2o4
per 1000 in 1924 compared to 1855
in 1922 and 1882 in 1923.
Divided according to races, white
deaths we're 16.45, and negro deaths
were 22.S2 from typhoid fever while
white deaths were 1919 and negro
deaths 1918 per 1000 in 1924.
Points With Pride.
DR.. Abercrombie also points with
pride to the record in cases of diph-
iberia and Group fatalities, showing
that deaths from these diseases OF
children were 230 in 1924, compared
to 274 in 1928, All in 1922, AIS in 1871
and 400 in 1920. Diphtheria deaths
Der 1000 were 900 in 1924, compared
to 14.04 in 1921, a reduction OF more
than one-half through preventive
measures. In fatalities the white rate
led with an average of 9.4l to SOY
among negroes.
Vaccination has practically wiped
out smallpox fatalities, the statistics
for 1924 show, as there were only ten
white deaths and IS negro deaths IN
the entire state, or an average OF 30
per 1000
Measles caused surprising number
of fatalities in 1924, the deaths reach
ING $50, or 1880 per 1000 population.
This percentage compared to 1910 IN
1923. OILS in 1922, 3.l4 in 1921 and
1.86 in 1920.
The rate per 1000 deaths in Geor-
gia during 1924 from other diseases
was 0.57 from scarlet fever; 1850 from
whooping cough; 9.6S from Pellagra;
1920 from tuberculosis; 40.O2 from
cancer; 1890 from diarrhea and dys-
EMERY; 20.34 from puerperal state;
All from puerperal septicemla, and
$3.50 from other infantile diseases. To-
tai deaths in the state during the year
were 34,797.

416 AUTOMOBILE
THIEVES CONVICTED
SIX THOUSAND CARS, VALUED
AT 100000, STOLEN IN Full
TON COUNTY ALONE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Four hundred and
sixteen automobile thieves have been
convicted in Georgia during the last
FIVE years, according to the records OF
the state prison commission. This fact
was brought out by the Fulton county
grand jury in recommending a title
certificate law to check automobile
thefts in this state, and it was indicat-
ed pressure would be brought to bear
upon the next legislature for such a
law.
The grand jury called attention to
the fact that 5000 automobiles, OF an
approximate value OF S6,000,000, were
stolen in Fulton county during the
last five years, and that scores OF 9th
er cars, stolen elsewhere, had been
brought into the county. Two hun
bred and eighty-four of the 4l6 con-
victions for automobile larceny were
in Fulton county.
1T appears that a title certificate
law has been adopted in Alabama,
Florida, North and South Carolina and
in thirteen other states" declared the
grand jury. Because our neighboring
states have these laws Georgia is be-
coming the field in which automobile
thieves are operating. We therefore
recommend to the court and the leg
stature the necessity for remedy
and the consideration of similar title
certificate law.
The violation OF the prohibition
laws and the theft OF automobiles are
very closely related, and such law
would have a tendency to restrain the
illegal use of automobiles"

Farm Population Has 10o Men to Ev-
cry 100 Women, and in Villages the
Ratio Is o5 Men to 100 Women.
Great Differences.
The birth rate in the farming areas
of the United States is 81 per cent
greater than in the cities, and "a per
cent greater than in the villages, ac-
cording to a report published by the
Institute Of Social and Religious Re-
search, of New York city, which gives
under the title, "A Census Analysis
of American Villages" the results OF
the first tabulation ever made of the
United States census data for villages.
By villages is meant communities hav-
ing from $50 to $500 inhabitants
The figures in the report show that
at the last census period the average
number of children to each 100 mar
ried women between IS and IS years
of age in villages was Isl, as compar
ed with l2S in the cities, while in the
farming areas the average was 1875.
The population in the villages is
shown by the report to be very differ
ent in its composition and character
istics from the population in the strict
ly farming areas. The analysis shows,
for example that in the country's farm
population there are 100 men to every
100 women while in the villages there
are only 95 men to each 100 women.
According to the report the villages
have a disproportionately large num-
Der of old people as compared with
the cities and the farming areas. OF
the men in the villages 2S.5 per cent
are As years of age or older; while
for the United States as whole 21.5
per cent of the men are in that age
group. OF the women in the villages
PA per cent are IS or have passed
that age, while this is true of only 20
per cent of the women of the entire
country.
The different regions themselves al
so show great differences in the COM
position of the population. In the mid
die Atlantic region, for example, 34.8
per cent of the village men and 36.7
per cent of the village women have
reached or passed the 45th year. In
the villages OF the middle west 3l.l
per cent of the men and 29.4 per cent
OF the women are As or older; in those
OF the far west 27.3 per cent OF the
men and 23.S per cent of the women;
in those of the south Fl per cent OF
the men and 1914 per cent of the wo-
men.
The fiures show that for every 1907
women the middle Atlantic villages
have only SO men, the villages OF the
middle west, 95 men; those OF the far
west, los men; those OF the south "a
men.
In the marital status of villagers
regional differences are marked. In the
far west, which is the one area in
which the men in villages outnumber
the women, only 20 per cent OF the
village women IS years OF age and old
err are single. This compares with POI
per cent in middle Atlantic region, 81
per cent in the middle west and Z0.4
per cent in the south.
