THAT NEW TAX PLAN
It takes wiger men than the aver
age person one passes in the streetg to
settle taxing problems. Quarrels over
tax burdcns arve oid gig ('i\ili:zu'fqfl.
Governments have to be maintained
through taxes and thev have to be
satl cred from the people in one form
or olher from all peoplsg as neauly
1a fair proportion as can be mad:
possiblg through gencral laws ap
plying. Fighty n"vor taxes, are not
n\u\\‘ dilferences,
The new :ulmini::l_r:uinn in Geor
gia proposes a graduated income
tax to take the place of the ad va
lorem gystem in the state, provided
and incoerporated in the mn»z{itutinn‘
Ly the great Georgians, l{uhorti
"mnnh;; among them, Many argu
ments in favor of thg present sys
tem can be made, have been made,
when other systems werg proposed
The pra&%un system is o more per
fect system than that propnsu(l.. ;uul‘
it ig oupr prediction that should the
state scok to maintain its public in
stitutions by an income tax, it will
nct be long before we return to the !
present form.
There is onhe complaint against the!
ad valorem plan—oune complaint
which is possible of curing, and in
our mind it is more possiblg to cure
this® twouble” than it ‘s to educ;ft.f
the people to a new and more com
plicated ‘system. The insome tax is
noet popular, and neyer will be. The
ad valorem works fairly and equit
-Ibly where assessmentgs are made
fairly, where people return their pro
perty at fair valuation. The fault is
with the people, after gll. Too mnn,\'i
of them have learned to dodge tax
ation, and some of them are now un
ler perjured clouds of dishonesty get
ting by with far too small payments
as compared with their honest neigh-
hors. ; ' '
The income tax is a product of
socialism, plain and simple. It t:‘li(«,rs
from those who earn and are will
imf “to earn and passes those who
will:."not work. It is based on this
])rinimplo. A tax that doeg not touch
all .fiisiblc property, is not a gatis-
Izuctfiry. tax and will not 'stand at
teeki Wien taxes are levied, they
:-lw-lflti‘ apply everywhere, should
I'¢ ;:t:'h all property. There are exemp
tiong, even under the ad valorem
pl:m," but thiy touches church pro
pmt_i' and enterprise of one kind or
another not aimed' for profit,.
The simpler the form of Ltaxation,
the less diffieult will it ha to levy
a fair asgessmont against gl bnro
perty. The more complex form like
the income tax will permit dodeing
of a greater magnitude, and will thus
make more ’('riminuls in the matter
of maintaining the system,
There” may be one argument in
favor of the income tax, It may prove
for a few years a means of ru;u:hing
an income gufficient to run the state
while people _have not learned the
varipus ways of evading. 'When the
m:\‘ff, plan becomeg older, it is cer
tain to lose, and indeed wc believe
it \yill never be sug‘x:-i(mtly popular
from the outset to bHring in the in
creased sums which will be neceg
sary. to run the government.
We warn fiardwick’s administpa
tion that they are not at anyhbody’s
picnie” when they start out remodel
ing the state tax system. If they
¢hould run onto something worih
while, then the whole state should
he happy, for anything reagonably
capablg of bringing in tax returng
that will not develop a round of com
plaints from injustices will %¢ im
provement on the present custom of
dodging. But we believe it will be
easier to make people return their
property than to live under the pro
posed .income plan,
1 ESSENTIAL BEAUTY.
Plato taught that everything in life
which*is worthy of devotion and cul
ture may be classified under the true,
the beautiful, and the good. Truth
lies at the bhottom of all science, bean
ty ad the bottom of all art, and good
ness at the bottom of all religion.
But beauty is onwe of the baffling
things in Ilife. Just what it is and
how if comes to be elude the limita
tions of human language. A young
man was walking through an art gal
lery in the capital city of the United
States and, atlracted by a picture, h'e
asked, “I*ather, why has this picture
a beautiful face?” The father reflec
ted a moment and then answered:
“Because, my son, the face is beauti
ful.” . There it is, and that is about
as near as dialecties and materialism
can go.
Beauty, like the soul, is elusive. It
is a thing of the soul. If there is no
soul, there is no beauty; for beauty
supposes soul, personality, and so
beauty is not color,. nor an exterior
touch, but soul, :
On reading “Ethics of the Dust”
Mark Twain ‘exclaimed, “What a
beautiful mind Ruskin has!” In his
last illness, Charlie Kingsley was
heard murmuring, “How beautiful
God is!” Socrates was regarded as
the homliest man in Athens. Aris
tophanes invariably laughed at him.
But Socrates always prayted after this
fashion: “Ye Gods, grant me to be
come l‘)cuuliful in the inner man.” IHis
)".ru.\'( r expressed his philosophy, viz:
that a chaste soul is the acme of
beauty, whieh, indeeq is the philoso
phy of the l}ibl(‘. §
He' who would be beautiful must
take care of his soul. The thoughts
and purposes, the hopes and loves the
desires and temotions of the soul are
invisible sculptors, cutting and carv
ing with their tiny chisels the human
featurds, and heauntifying them or
marring them and making them trans
parently attractive or repulsive, until
mind and character are revealed
through them, Soul beauty is the tru'e
and lasting beauty. It penetrates out
ward through the physical frame un
til it gives the whole physique a cer
tain transfiguration.
“All men”, says Emerson, “are lov
ers of beauty. Wherever beauty goes
it creates joy. It reaches its height
THE CORDELE DIRPATCH
in women. To her God gave i two
thirds of all beauty.” So b,ea,uty' is a
woman's power. 'As Ruskin éays,
“Fvery virtue in the highest phase of
manly character begins and ends in
truth and modesty and reverence bhe
fore the soul of beautiful woman
hood.” ' Says another “Some women
are interesting for five minutes, some
for ten minutes, some for half an
hour, some for 2 whole day, and some
for the whole life, hecause they pos
sess the deepest beauty of woman—
the charm of a beautiful soul.”
. Beauty is divine, Unse]fishneés.
purity, love and spitituality conducs
to beauty, while selfishness, hate,
envy, impurity and jealousy conduce
to ugliness. In llbsen’s drama the
heroine urges h'er paramour to suicide
and she says, “Do it beautifully,” But
that is impossible. An ugly act or 2
bad deed cannot be done beautifully.
Nothing is beautiful in the moral or
der but life and lova.
~ The most beautiful woman of her
aay was Madam Guyon. She was the
idol of Paris. Smallpox laid its re
pulsive hand upon her as .if to stpal
away her beauty. But not so. Her
beautiful soul came tg the rescue and
soo transfigured the scars ongher face
as to give an added charm, while her
beautiful life of love cast a spell over
the most eritical,
Glenuine beauty is always wedded to
strength. ¥very. where in mnature
strength and beauty are joined to
gether, “Flowers skirt the edges of
cternal snows.” Roses are painteq by
the iron in the soil. Strength and
beauty are mateq in architecture and
art. The great literary classic com
hine ornament and depth of soul. In
the lmm:m‘jsoul through the Man of
Galilee these are most perfectly united
—strength which keeps one true and
beauly which Gaansone i:’nfintul. ‘Ho
to be rooted in His Tie'is' sirongtl,
and to bear the graces qf love and joy
‘and charity is beauty. . '

- THE MAN AND HIS JOB. '
La Grange Reporter: {
If a man cannot recover his job
can he recover for his job? In Chat
tanooga a former employe of the
Southern Railway is suing the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen, asking
$5,000 damiage because, he alleges,
at the instance of the union he was
dizcharged on accoynt of being a
ncn-union laborer, lost his remuner
é,-tive ‘job and suffered other and at
tendant losses by reason of béing
‘fired.” ’\l'wo important points
new in the courts of Tennessee and

he settled by this suit: Wihether a
non-union ‘man digcharged at the in
stance of the union has any rights
of rccourse at law and whether a
union, such as the Dbrotherhood
against which this former railroad
employe has lodged formgl legal
complaint, may be sued for monctary
damages in such circumstances.
If it is decided that the corporate
union is on the same footing as any
othcr corporation, then if this non
union man shows that he lost his
meagns of earning a livelihood from
the railroad mentioned through no
failure on his own part to do his
duty, but solely at the instance and
ingistence of the labor union why
chould hc not ask tha courts to force
this union to make good to him such
loss as he may have guffered? The
union cannot congistently place the
bhurden upon the railroad company,
Lecause, according to the allega
