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. Yes, Pauline, there Is no doubt that the woman out West, who fail ed In her attempt at suicide by means of butting her brains out against a sapling, was barking up (he wrong tree. 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 Pick berries while the grass grows In the cotton, If they must, but don't let them annoy tteople In the way they are now allowed to do to dispose of their berries. THE AUGUSTA HEKAID. 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 vannah Press, TALKS ABOUT THE HERALD.
