THE LICENSE SYSTEM.
In a recent Interview with
buisness men The Augusta Her
ald quotes a prominent gentle
man of that city as saying:
“I hold that the business
license should be abolished, for
it has always been my conten
tion that It amounts to double
taxation when a man pays taxes
on his properly and then has to
pay a license to do business
with It.”
The Sentinel Is In thorough ac
cord with the view taken in the
above paragraph, and Is fully
satisfied that the gentleman's
contention Is right., and we be
lieve that the argument fully ap
plies to the special business li
cense now being collected in Har
lem, for as cited by the conten
tion above, the property of these
business license Is put on that
properly with which business is
conducted. If this Is not double
taxation then we do not know
what It takes to make It.—Co
lumbia Sentinel.
In the plan of municipal taxation
tho llconno system oocouplea very
much (he place that la held by the
Import tax system In our federal
plan of taxation. Roth are an lndl
reet tax which at last falls on the peo
ple at large.
Hut In some respects the munici
pal license lax Is even worse than
the federal tariff tax on Imports. As
pointed out above, tho license tax la
really a double tax, In that it. makes
a man pay a second time who already
haa paid foil taxes on every dollar
of hla property valuation. The mer
chant Is made to pay his store li
cense In addition to paying taxes on
Iho value of the goods in hla store
and on hla afore fixtures. The livery
stable man, the blacksmith, the con
tractor, the Job printer, every trade
and business, In addition to the full
value, of plant, tools and flxturea.
Htich a system of double taxation can
not he right. And In addition to all
I his, a license tax is a tax on Indus
try, and herein lies its greatest evil.
The license system having been
adopted as one of the methods for
raising revenue for tho municipal
government, It Is very naturally made
of general application. Since one
business cannot well he subjected to
a license tax without placing a like
burden upon every other business—
for to do otherwise would show un
just discrimination and favoritism,
every huslnes In the city Is subjected
to this burden. The nature! conse
quence of this Is to keep men out of
business, and especially out of Indus
trial enterprises. A new business Is
always l.eset will-, many difficulties.
It must meet the competition of oth
er plants ulready In operation, in the
city and outside. Almost always It
Is limited in capita, and rcsjirccs. It
Is always a risk to start n now hi si
ness, and the difficulties of such a
venture should not he Increased by
requiring a license before the shop
may he opened. The consequence of
this is lhat many a man who feels
Inclined to start a small Industrial
business Is prevented front doing so
by the fact that In addition to all
other expenses and risks he Is re
quired, first of all, to pay for a license
What a loss this is to the city Is
beyond estimation. Not every small
business that Is started succeeds, but
out of a large number of new busi
nesses a portion of them always suc
ceed. Every large and successful
business in this and every other city
Marled from a small beginning. It
follows then, that the more new en
terprises 4 re started, no matter how
small they may be in the beginning,
the greater the number of successful
plants a city will have In operation.
Because we exact a license from ev
ery business, the number of new ones
that are started Is not larger than it
Is. Hi’ause the number of now enter
prises started is not larger than It is,
the number of successful businesses
does not grow faster than it does.
Because of our license system Au
gusta does not grow faster than It
does ns an Industrial centre.
That the license system should be
abolished wll be readily agreed by
all. The difficulty lies In the way of
doing it. a considerable port lon of
cur municipal revenues are derived
front licenses. To aboilsh them
would mean that either the city’s ox
ponses must bo reduced, or the
amount now raised from licenses
must be raised by some other method
Cither plan seems impracticable; jit
least to the extent of abolishing the
tntlre license system at once.
But If It be recognised that Itt
principle the license system Is unjust
and In operation It Is unwise and
harmful, the change might be made
gradually. Begin by abolishing •those
licenses which are most oppressive
and Injurious, and continue In this
course until the entire license sys
tem Is wiped out. .
Such a course is practicable. And
freed from this tax on Industry, an
Impetus would soon be given to the
city's growth and wealth which would
soon yield the government a larger
revenue without licenses than it
now collects through Its system of
double taxation.

HUMBUGS IN FRANCE
When the late P. T. Barnum an
nounced as the conclusion drawn
from his experience that “The Ameri
can people live to he humbugged," he
stated what, was readily recognized as
a truth. But in this the American
people do not stand alone. Abun
dant evidence is at hand to prove that
the French people love to be hum
bugged still more, at least in the
manor of making financial ventures
of the gold brick order. That they
live to be humbugged by this kind of
a fraud Is shown by the fact that
they always bite at the same bait,
and have done so from the time of
the South Sea bubble until the pre
sent day.
Another of these humbbugs has Just
ended, amusing the general public
who have watched the game, and
bringing sadness to the makers who
hit at the halt and lost their money.
This last humbug was so mucch like
the celebrated Humbert case that it
is really surprising It should have
been successfully worked, as It was.
By It a sharper giving his name as
obtained a half million or
more of cool cash, and after openly
playing with his victims for a long
time, then the final exposure came,
departing Bel ween two suns, taking
the money with him.
One day I.einoine appeared In Paris
showing rough diamonds which he
claimed to have made In an elec
trical furnace by a process he had
discovered. Artificial diamonds of
minute size have been made, hut at
a cost far greater than the value of
natural stones. Eemolne claimed that
by this process he could make them
almost without, cost. This was an
alluring prospect to avaricious men.
Scientists asserted that such an elec
trical furnnee as I.emolne described I
was an Impossibility, but what drn
men care for the laws of nature when
their pyes are blinded by visions of
fabulous wealth? Ixtmolne readily
found rich men to listen to him, and
enter Into his proposition.
This was that he be furnished
money to Install a plant which should
be able to turn out diamonds by the
bushel. For this he required much
money, but It was readily furnished.
His dupes first, required a demonstra
tion of his process, which Lemolne
furnished, like a clever juggler that,
he was. to their entire satisfaction.
And then he gave them, as security
for their investment, In case he should
die before the plant was In perfect
operation, the secret of his formula.
This was deposited in a deposit box
In a safety vault.
Having obtained the money Lem
olne did not fly with it at once.
This is not the French method. He
remained in Paris, enjoying: his cel
ebrity. The impatient investors, who
wanted to see piles of damonds, he
put off with plausible excuses from
time to time, until at last patience
ceased to he a virtue in their eyes,
and they had him arrested. Then he
agreed to produce a handful or two
of diamonds of such size and bril
liancy as would conclusively prove
that he was not a fraud: and he was
set at liberty to retire to the sec
recy of his laboratory to work.
And ft hat was the last seen of
him. Diligent search for him has
been made, but he seems to have
disappeared as completely as if the
earth had swallowed him. Then by
process of law the envelope was open
ed and it was found to contain a lot
of gibberish which fairly translated
would read: '‘As Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness so have I
lifted these fools out of their money.
Another brilliant French humbug
had been perpetrated, of the kind the
French people so dearly love. Now
for the next.
A NUISANCE THAT SHOULD BE
ABATED. .
This Is a great fruit year. A thou
sand carloads of peaches have al
ready been shipped from Georgia, and
the finest peaches have scarcely com
menced to ripen. Not only peaches,
but all other fruit crops are abun
dant; and not only the cultivated va
rieties but the wild as well.
There nAver was a greater black
berry crop than the present, This
is good for the country editor, who
always feels assured of a living when
blackberries are plentiful. It Is also
good.for the darkeys, who can quit
pulling the hoe for the more con
genial work of roving around pick
ing berries to sell In the tow ns. Hun
dreds. aye, thousands of them are
engaged In l! around Augusta. Grass
may grow in the cotton fields and
farmers may beg for hands In vain:
The briar patches are too strong an
attraction.
So the grass grows while the ne
groes pick lurries, which they bring
to the city to sell. They arrive
early. Before the sun rises, up and
down the streets may be beard the
cry: “Blackberries. Flue Blackber
ries'’ Invalids whom every noise
distracts are made nervous by these
repeated cries before the door or un
der the window, and tired workers,
after uavlng tolled far into the night,
in vain try to shut out the all per
vading cry. to get their needed rest.
Ami not conteut with calling their
berries in the street, these street
venders will rap the gate or even
ring the door bell with a persistence
that refuses to let up until the ring
is answered, an Intolerable nuisance
against which Innocent eltlxens have
right to claim protection.
Have we not a city ordinance whleh
forbids this nuisance? If we have. It
should be enforced. Let the negroes

PURE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA
"We must have honest elections In
Georgia. We must start by keeping
the registration list above suspicion
—Governor Smith's Message."
Governor Smith, in his annual mes
' sage to the legislature read Wednes
j day, urges tho passage of legislation
| which will make It a crime to pay the
taxes or to furnish money to pay the
taxes of men that may register. He
insists upon purging the registration
list before the date of the primary.
; He condemns contributions of money
by corporations as special Interests.
Such contributions, he says, are utter
ly destructive of the best results
which shpuld be obtained from popu
lar government. He recommends that
the lpws be strengthened to check the
use of money in political contests,
even by candidates and their friends.
He suggests that this can best be ac
complished by naming the specific
uses for which money will be per
mitted. He recommends that the
judges of the superior court be es
pecially required to charge grand ju
ries with the duty of investigation to
the end that parties violating laws
for the preservation of the purity of
the ballot box may be indicted and
brought to punishment.
"When the purity of the ballot box
Is Invaded.” as the Governor of Geor
gia says, "the very foundation upon
which we rest our plan of government
is shaken, and all hope for the preser
vation of tne rights of the people is
broken down. Good government can
only come through the patriotic ex
pression at the ballot box by the in
dividual voter, of his unbiased opin-
Ton as to what is best for his coun
try, his state and his nation.” Be
lieving earnestly In the soundness of
the views thus generally presented,
the governor says he submits them
with the hope that the wisdom of the
general assembly will find a way to
work out the details.
In our opinion this is the most Im
portant part of his message. The
democratic primary with us Is equiv
alent to an election. Governor Smith
recommends that the legislature fix
by statute the time for the primary
at which the governor, state house
officers, judges, railroad commission
ers and legislators can be named. He
does not, think that the primary
should be held until after the adjourn-
CHAT AND CHATTER.
TN THE HERALD Thursday appear
-1 a letter evoked by the. announce
ment In The Herald that Commissioner
of Immigration agent Bell was in the
city. The argument of the writer was to
the effect that really desirable settlers
could not be found among the lmmgrants
because there are none. The kind we
want do not come over here, and those
who do are undesirables. This sentiment
shows what an Interest is taken by the
people in the subject and also some ot
the difficulty Mr. Bell wilt have in
getting a consessus of opinion thereon.
Of course It is only partially correct,
for many desirables do come to this
country as Immigrants and many more
will as soon as we ran demonstrate the
need for them and the opportunity for
advancement. To say we do not neeu
Immigrants is to fly in the face of the
facts. And to say that no desirable
persons will lrave Europe for this coun
try to better themselves Is equivalent to
a statement that no good man ever quits
one employment for another.
As to the needs of the South hear
Thomas F. Ryan in the Saturday even
ing Post. He says In Part:
• The South eannot enter upon tts
highest productivity and prosperity until
the problem of tilling the land Is settled.
There must be labor. You cannot de
pend upon the negro for he Is lazy, i
believe the solution lies In the Immigra
tion to the South of able-bodied foreign
ers like the peasants of the south ot
France. I mention these beeause, like the
Scandinavians who have thrived in our
Northwest, they would remain In tae
country and let the nation nave the
benefit of their savings unlike the Ita
lians, for example, who go back home as
soon as they have saved some money.
In regard to the menace of immigra
tion Mr. Ryan says in the same periodi
cal:
"You hear a great deal about the men
ace of Immigration, but I do not believe
there Is any menace In it. The real dan
ger to the business Institutes of the
country is not the foreigner but our own
native-born demagogue—the nation sav
ior for revenue or political preferment
Only."
“One reason why there has been sticn
a comparatively restricted movement ot
Immigrants to the South Is that most ot
them land In New Y’ork. If they happen
to come from a sunny clime and leacn
here in cold weather, they cannot be
persuaded that any place In the l ntteu
States Is warm. The result Is that they
herd together tn and about New York
and stay there. You could keep these
immigrants in the South if you landei,
them at Southern ports such ns Savan
nah. Charleston and New Orleans. Here
they would And h ethnxtv to their Us
ing.' and I think they would remain in
the South and help rebuild the old com
monwealths."
The incident of the uettkk
that Miss Mary Halt received in
the malls the other day more than two
years after the date It was mailed to
her In this city reealls another to a
well kuown lady of Augusta.
Some years ago ahe sent a relative in
Atlanta a pared of emhroldery stun, ii
was a small paekuge and was weighed
and property stamped. There was no
reason why It should not go directly 10
the addressee. After several days, wtien
it had not nrrtved. complaint was made
and the matter was tngen up by tile
iocnl postoftlce authorities. The sender
later received one of those bundles oi
slip* each mark<*d "referred.” and a
statement from the postoftlce depart
mem that no trace of the parcel could
be found and the authorities could go
no further In the matter.
Six months later the lady was tn At
lanta visiting the very person to whom
l the embroidery had been sent. White
I her hostess was out one ilay site an
swered the postman's call and was sur
prised to receive the very parcel aho
I had sent six months ago. The matter
i was taken up with the postoftlce again,
hut no explanation has ever been forth
coming ns to why that package was de
layed six months.
Now. these Incidents have been given
me as Instances of poor service and in
competence, Rut are they really such?
Chance plays a part tn every pursuit
and every business. Feme things are
!>ound to go wrong, and the tart that
the letter sent to Mies It.ill re 4-hod her
after belt « lost for two years, and that
the lady tn Augusta received the pack
age tn Atlanta sent six months before
■illy argues for the fineness or the ser
vice rendered. Of eourse there was
something wrong In the delay, hut h
these articles had been misplaced In any
business stoie or shop the probability
Is they would never have been dellveteo
at all and been thrown away rather
than to fare a reproof hy their late .|e
livery.
There are some things about the near
ment of the legislature, to give an
opportunity for the members of the
legislature as well as other state
house officers to present their claims
to the people subsequent to the sec
ond session of the general assembly.
It may also be necessary that the
; time for the general election be post
poned and the time for the legisla
ture be moved backward. Under our
1 present system the legislature ad
journs about the middle of August
and the regular election comes on
the first week in October. There is
not sufficient time between these two
dates to hold the democratic primary
and yet give the members of the leg
islature an opportunity to go before
their constituents subsequent to the
adjournment of the legislature.
Governor Smith wisely writes that
a man who Is not sufficiently inter
ested In the selection of public offi
cers to pay his own tax, is not moved
by that spirit of devotion to wise leg
islation and pure official conduct
which fits him for the right of suff
rage.
This part of Governor Smith’s mes
sage is strikingly important. He has
not overstated the vital abuses which
are committed in the name of elec
tions and primary elections. The
democratic primary is equivalent to
an election. As far as possible It
should be given all tlje legal safe
guards afforded an election. The laws
in Georgia in regard to the buying
and selling of votes in the primary
are very stringent. If possible they
should be made more so. Governor
Smith alludes to the fact that there
are one or two bills pending in the
legislature covering this subject. He
advises that, they be pushed to speedy
passage. The use of money in elec
tions is a public scandal in Georgia.
Sometimes the money is contributed
by large corporations and sometimes
by friends of the candidates. At all
events the practice should be over
taken. Wherever a man is brought
before the court he should be punish
ed promptly and severely. The on'v
way to build up a sentiment is to en
force (he law. Unless the law >s en
forced primaries will cease to govern
the event and general elections will
degenerate into public sales, where
the highest, bidder will be and
the biggest barrel will control.—Sa

Your Reputation as a
“Buyer ’ is At Stake!
Now and then a merchant
gets an Idea Into his head that
“one advertising medium Is as
good as another." He then
proceeds to buy advertising in
a way to discredit his business
judgment.
The people will be iretty sure
to Infer that a merchant who
buys his advertising unwisely
will buy his store-stocks un
wisely—and of course this may
not always be true. So that
it is always a good plan to
show the same discrimination
In buying advertising space
that you show in buying the
stocks which you are advertis
ing. ISN'T IT?
