ATLANTA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE BACKS TAX
FREE FARMS PROPOSAL
LEGISLATION EXPECTED TO BE
PASSED DURING YEAR
EXCELLENT PLAN

| Atlanta, Ga.-Of all the ideas for
improvement of agricultural condi-
tions in Georgia, none appears to have
! attracted such wide interest as the
! proposal of the Atlanta Chamber OF
, Commerce, that the actual dirt far
mer be relieved of paying state taxes
| for a term of years.
The agricultural committee OF the
chamber of now at work upon the for
nation of the Forward Georgia Ag-
ricultural Commission" with a men,
bership of 100 representative men
from all sections of the state, which
will wage campaign for the passage
of a constitutional amendment by the
next legislature, for submission to the
people.
Able lawyers are working out the
details of the proposed amendment.
The exemption will probably take the
form of freeing from state taxes for
a term of ten years all farms in culti-
walton up to the first 100 acres, and
it is believed this will reach 80 per
cent of the small farmers. Such a
law, the attorneys believe, will be
within the constitution, as it is SINH
lar in form to various homestead
laws"
| "The great value of the tax ex-
emption idea is the encouragement
offered to small farmers to buy farms
of their own," said Ivan Allen, father
of the idea. "You con drive through
Georgia today and pick out the farms
worked by their owners in contrast
to those run by tenants. 1t is just
like the difference between town
cottage occupied by the owner and
the house next door occupied by a
tenant. One is we'll kept and the
other is run down.
"Once farmer acquires an equity
in his hundred acres, he is going to do
his best to make his farm pay profit.
He will have to diversity to do that,
and he will have to put something in
to the land instead of letting cotton
take everything out. And when he
has an equity in his own farm, he
will find it much easier to borrow
money for financing his operations.
Once the tax exemption amendment
is adopted, national campaign OF
advertising will be started, to tell the
farmers of other sections that Geor-
gia will welcome them and has some
thing to offer them. One third OF a
$4,000 fund for this purpose has
been pledged by the Forward Atlanta
Commission, from the million dollar
fund raised for advertising Atlanta,
and it is expected to raise the other
two thirds without difficulty.
eve want to bring to Georgia
thousands of farmers from the Mid
die West" said Mr.. smith. lhey Can
buy god land at fair prices, enjoy a
season twice as long as at home, and
they will not only make a profit for
themselves but their farms, worked
as scientifically as those of the Mid
die West, will serve as demonstration
farms for their neighbors."
The new movement, it is distinctly
stated, will interfere in no way with
the work Of other organizations which
are trying to improve agricultural
conditions. On the other hand, the
tax exemption law should be OF inn
mense help to all such organizations
and agencies.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TOPIC OF LECTURER
Knowing God and Christ Declared
to Be Jesus Definition of
Real Science.

A lecture on christian Science:
The Divine Declaration of Independ.
ence" was delivered last evening in
Third Church of Christ, Scientist, by
Charles /. Ohrenstein, c. S. B., of
Syracuse, n. Y. Mr.. Ohrenstein is a
member of the board of lectureship of
the mother church, the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass,
and spoke to a capacity audience in
the new church ediflce. He was in
troduced by Walter H. Webb, first
reader Of Third Church, under whose
auspices the lecture was given. The
lecturer said In part:
What is science? Only what is
true or real can be known, and only
truth or reality cannot cease to be
and cannot undergo change. Every
thing material-which means every
thing accepted by the so-called nat
ural sciences-being capable of de-
struction or of undergoing change,
must be unreal and untrue.
According to Jesus, true science is
to know God and the Christ whom he
came to reveal, and whom to know
is life eternal; to know the lfberating
truth He taught, and to have the
spiritual Joy or happiness which he
enjoyed as a result of His true. His
Christian, science. Let me quote what
Mrs. Eddy, the discoverer and founder
of Christian Science, has defined
science to be. On page 127 of her
book, Science and Health With Key
TO the Scriptures" she says:
"'If God the Aliin-all, be the crea-
tor of the spiritual universe, including
man, then everything entitled to a
classification as truth, or science,
must be comprised in knowledge or
understanding of God, for there can
be nothing beyond iliimitable divinity
Jesus said that to know God is life
eternal. That He knew whereof He
spoke. He demonstrated by raising the
dead. He said that knowing the truth
shall make you free and he demon.
strated this by liberating people from
bondage to every manner of ill; by
libefating them from sin, from sick
ness, and from want of every kind.
He said, My joy and My Peace / give
unto you,' and not only did He rejoice
greatly in spirit, but He was able to
retain both peace and joy even when
confronted with the cross"
