Some of the editors who remained
at home during the state press trip
to Cuba complained about the lack of
real kick in the edliorial pages during
the ten days. Possibly this is a
thought of Cuba and not of the edi
torial pages of the papers that were
taken care of by “the force” while
the editor was away.

CUBA—AND OUR UGAR TARIFF
Olq Havana is a gew city with tre
mendous wealth andébnsiness volume.
1t is in the hands ofiFoung cubans who
are rununing a gove ent in many di
vections admirable fand progressive.
There are still tradés of the royalist
ideals and hopes afiong men of in-
fluence and poweriibut the govern
; ment is in the hnnés of men of tre
| mendous loyalty to;the republic and
. prideful to the oxlréine when they re
count the part the Qn-ited States took
twenty-six years 1&0 in giving Cu
bans their independi}ure of Spain.
Business with (hiv country is very
large. The impositi‘n suffered in the
Fordney-McCumber Bariff on sugar is
a real hardship on {uba's largest in
. dustry, the sugar qutput. The cane
~crop is to Cuba whfi} the cotton crop
;’ is to the south—the fnw;)le crop. Mat
anzas alone shippefl seven million
- tons of sugar last year to foreign mar
. kets. Aad in Savan“?ah alone one re
_ dinery had to give \fp in tariffs seven
million dollars gariered in through
| the Fordney-McCumber tariff law on
Cuban sugar. &
| The American tariff is working tre
mendous harm in Quba. -« It is cutting
the production price to the very bone.
~ And in this country the consumer is
paying a tremend‘ous tribute to the
American sugar tlrsu. Every Ameri
can family of fiveipays eleven dollars
a year in traiff tr‘bute on sugar. The
Cuban grower Jms; to give up his crop
at a price far tooilow for living com
forts in order to sell his products and
put them over the American tariff
wall. In turn e‘ery American con-
TR ———
for his sugar to get it from out the
hands of the American sugar trust.
And the money goes into the hands of
the great, wealthy interests in control
of the American government. That is
the most blighting story of a great
business originating in C'uba and end
ing in America.
| The American levy against Cuban
| sugar is approximately two dollars
and seventy cents per hundred pounds
There ought to be a protest—there
has been since first this tribute was
levied. Coolidge has in recent months
remade the tariff commission because
of a row over the sugar tariff and an
effort to get it revised downward.
Coolidge himself has shown a determ
ination not to let the sugar tariff ha
reduced. So long as the republican
party is in control there ig but little
prospect of a reduction.
In the meantime in Cuba there was
a measure in the lower house only last
week requiring a reduction of sugar
output of ten percent over last year';
crop. This law will likely be passed
and enforced. It amounts to a legai
restraint on the production of a com
modity for human consumption that
can be gathered from the soil of Cu
ba at a far less cost than from any
other soil in the world. The whole
trouble arises out of legislation in this
country in favor of a special interest
~—the Kordney-McCumber tarift law
which turns into the hands of the sug
ar combine in this country the mil
lions upon millions of dollars which
g 0 into their hands without justice,
without fairness, without leg~l ex
cuse, without reason.
Rome never levieq tribute upon a
conquered people that ever equalled
this. Liberty-loving America never
dreamed of what it is permitting in
the levy of the sugar tariff against
its own people and the little republic
of Cuba whose great army of working
people pay tribute in the same man
ner as do Americans who consume
the sugar after it has gone through
the hands of the powerful rich who
control the republican party and the
administration in charge at Washing
ton. Cuba is not free—nor is the
American consuming public which us
€B sugar as a food.
QEORGIA'S INHERITANCE TAX
“Georgia’s Inheritance Tax Law-—
the new law enacted in the session
of the legislature of 1925 and the ex
tra session of 1926-—is more advanta
geous to the property owner than
that of almost any other state; more
50 by far than the non-inheritance tax
law of Florida,” said State Tax Com
imissioner James H. Dozier.
| “In my judgement the provisions of
‘lhe new Georgia tax law ought to be
advertised to the world in compari
son with that of other states. The
controlling feature of the new law in
this state provides:
“‘From and after the passage of
this act it shall be the duty of the le
‘gal representative of the estate of any
person who may hereafter die a resi
dent of this state, ang whose estate
is subject to the payment of a Federal
EP,sluto tax, to file a duplicate of the
irvuu'n which he is required to make
to the Federal authorities, for the
“nurposo of having the estate tax de
‘termined, with the State Tax Commis
sioner. When such duplicate is filed
with said official he shall compute
the amount that would be due upon
said return as Federal Eestate Tax,
under the Act of Congress relating
to the levy and collection of Federal
Estate Taxes, upon the property of
said estate taxable in Georgia, and
assess against said estate as state in
heritance taxes eighty per centum of
the amount found to be due for l"ed-‘
cral Estate Taxes—there shall be no‘
other inheritance tax assessed or col
lected out of estates of persons dying{
after the passage of this act, uudcx‘i
the laws of this state.'” ‘
“There you are. Analyze the Act!
and see just what it means, then mm-‘
pare it with the laws of other states,
particularly the so-called non-inherit“
ance tax states. The analysis shows
the Georgia law is far better than if’
the legislature of the state, as have
been done in other states, merely has
passed a law prohibiting the levy or
collection of any inheritance tax. The
way is clear. Take an estate in Flor
ida, for instance, large enough to have
Aexied against it by, the Federal Goy:
ernment as an estate tax say $75,000.
,Florida has no inheritance tax law of
tany kind, but the Federal government
’levles a $75,000 estate tax, collect it,
‘and the whole amount goes into the
Federal treasury, with not one penny
lor benefit so far as that $75,000 goes,
to either the estate or to the state
of Florida.
“Make the same calculation in Geor
gia. The same kind of an estate, of
the same value, finds a Federal eState‘
tax levied against it of $75,000. Thei
Federal law provides that this estate
ig entitled to an exemption of 80 per
cent of the levy made against it for
Federal estate taxes, provided that 80
percent has been paid the state in
which the estate is located, as an in
heritance tax. Do you get it? In the
Florida case the Federal government
can give no exemption, nor can the
state claim it, because there is np
state inheritance tax, therefore the
Federal government has to take the
whole $75,000. In Georgia the Federal
government assesses $75,000 against
the estate, credits that estate with an
exemption of four-fifths of the amount
levied and takes one-fifth into the Feq
eral treasury, the "(_bnr-fit’thsyw-hlch is |
credited as an exé@:pti(m," going into
the treasury of Gedrgia. In both cas
es the estate pays only the $75,000;
in our case we ge:t;' our share for ap
plying to the expense of operating ',ou‘r
state government... The non-inherit
ance tax states aré; of necessity, com
pelled to supply that deficiency in the
source of revenue by taxing other
property on which there is no Federal
exemption.
“Doesn’'t that make it quite clear
just why the Georgia law is better
than those laws which other states
are advertising to the world as a great
attraction to people to become resi
dents? I think so, and am quite
sure people who are to be attracted
"because of such advantages will so
find if they aré informeq on just what
the provisions of the Georgia law
are.”
- Mr. Dozier, in ‘a casual way, carried
his illustratign further to show that, if
| congress passed™am Avt*reducing th
federal estate tdx, automatically that
reduces the aggregate amount to be
levied before the exemption, and,
therefore, ut‘tegté this state just as it
would the Federal government, and
whenever the Federal estate tax final
ly is wiped ()llf. under the present
Georgia law the whole inheritance tax
in thig state 2lso is eliminated. He
is quite enthusiastic over the idea
that these details and comparisons
should be brought to nation-wide at
tention in any advertising campaign
by Chambers of Commerce, civic and
commercial organizations and the
large Georgia advertisers contemplaie
Georgla has no income tax. Geor
gia has no inheritance tax.

MARK TWAIN MEMCRIAL
Newspaper ed?m-s at Nevada, work

to erect a nmmyo:-i.nl to Mark Twain
that will be nal&mul in scope.
Beside the cab%n in which the fam

first draft of Huckleberry Finn, be
loved bad boy of the Mississippi river
banks, it is proposed to erect a build
ing or perhaps move to this site the
old Territorial Enterprise building at
Virginia City in which Twain served
his cub reportership.
The cabin' was occupied by Samuel
Clemens waen he was hardly more

had much significance in the literary
world. It was then situated on the

A DAY LONG TO BE
REMEMBERED IN CORDELE
The program and details of Memo
rial Day, have been given already
but it was the earnest desire of the
Crisp county chapter of United
Confederate Veterans that something
in the form of a resolution be draft
ed as follows:
To express their heartfelt thanks |
to the U. D. C. for their untiring éi- }
forts to contribute so much to their
comfort and pleasure.
To express the peculiar pleasure
they found in the unique program
given by all schools and every one 1
who made any contribution. |
That these expressions, be sprea(l}
on our minutes, and a request that
they be published in the Cordele
Dispatch. |
It is sad to note, that the rank and !
file of sure enough veterans is nar
rowing down. Two of our number
passed away last year ‘
In a few more years, at most their
seats will be vacant Memorial Day.
“The places that know us now will
soon know us no more forever.”
Our days are swiftly gliding by,
Our days are swiftly gliding by,
And we as pilgrims strangers,
Can not detain them as they fly
These hours of toil and danger.
It is one consoling thought:
The Daughters of Confederacy,
Will in some good way,
Perpetuate Memorial Day.

Chrysler engineers have de
signed the Chrysler “58” to
satisfy the rigorous driving re
quirements of today, joined to
a most unusual economy of
operation, -
How well they have succeeded
is shown by the fact that the
Chrysler“sB” attainsand main
tains a speed of 58 miles per
hour, accelerates from 5 td 25
milesin 8 seconds,and achieves
25 miles to the gallon.
Some cars have one of these
features; a few have two—but
none,regardlessof price,except
Chrysler “58”, gives all three
in combination,
Before you buy your next car
you owe it to yourself to learn
at first hand the exact measure
of excess value which Chrysler
“58" atits electrifying low price,
offers you. . :
