"Tax Reform" Vs. ‘‘Retrenchment.’’
We regret to nee the esteemed Atlanta
Constitution 'encouraging a sentiment in
this state which demands a shorter school
term and a decrease in the pension appro
priation. We have no doubt that the Con
stitution, as usual, has managed to get on
, the jxxpular side -for the quickest plan for
lowering taxes is always the most popular
-but we do not believe time will vindi
cate the wisdom of the plan proposed.
If it were Impossible to increase the
state'; revenues without increasing the
rate of taxation, <we, too, might join in the
cry for retrenchment, but when it is so
apparent that fully iw. much property
«*<ap<> taxation in Georgia altogether as
pays taxes to the state, then we are forced
to contend, first, for a more rigid en
forcement of the tax laws, or else for a
mew law that will bring this property to
Hight.
Th< subject of taxation is, undoubtedly,
the one that Is going to Interest the peo
ple of Georgia more than any other during
the next twelve months, but, in their
Ihcuste to <e<ape higher taxes our people
should not accept retrenchment alone, as
the solution of the problem, and thereby
allow the most glaring of all the tax evils
<to go uneorrected. Better direct our at
tention to some plan for reaching the ‘*tax
•lodgers.” To reduce expanses may (be the
quick, st way to secure relief, but it de not
the remedy that a great and enterprising
state like Georgia can rely on.
We fully appreciate the difficulties in
the way of enforcing any tax law to the
letter, but we admit that the enforcement
of the Jaw In Georgia is so notoriously lax
rm to actually reflect discredit on state
nml county administrations. JToof of this
statement, is easily available; indeed, the
fact is well know to every thinking man
Jn the state.
We make bold to assert that if the
property in this state which now escapee
taxation altogether is made to pay its
just share of the public burden—as can
be done with the exercise of a little more
care and conscience by public officials—
there will not only ibe no occasion for a
reduction of the school and pension ap
propriations and of salaries in general,
ibut the tax rate can be materially lower
ed and a surplus bo still left in the state
treasury.
In Its cry for retrenchment and lower
lax(»< the Constitution Is pandering to'a
abort-sighted sentiment; It is not working
for the best interests of the masses. Few
jieople of average means escape tho full
ftiurdon of taxation, but when a man gets
lo he worth $25,000 or more he begins to
pnv less and less his proportionate part
of the public burden. As a rule the man
worth $25,000 capital or more is influen
tial. at hast In a iocal way, and this in
iflence is usually directed, in one way or
another. against a more strict enforcement
of the tax laws. Hence the opposition that
would now manifest Itself against any
wholesome reform In this direction. Re
trenehnient and lower nalariee will be the
battle-cry of those who would still further
escape 'their Just share of the public bur
den. Hut tho masses will be foolish to
listen to such a cry. "Tax reform" and not
"retrenchment” is the proper slogan for
those who have the state’s best interests
at heart. Don't let Georgia slip back
wards for the benefit of the "tax dodgers.”
Rather make the "tax dodger” come to
time. "Increased revenue" is a better
Bntsliu st: policy for any firm or corpora
tlon than “decrease expenses,” and it is
sin equally sound policy for the state of
Georgia.
Those North Carolina footballists ought
to be retained by their state as a "home
guard." Their services In case of a race
riot would 'be very effective.
Right! •
We are*sincerely glad to see our morn
ing contemporary. The Telegraph, engaged
in the fight for "Tax Reform” in Georgia,
and it will be generally admitted, we
think, 'that Its arguments on this line are
extremely forcible. Indeed. >we must ac
cord Tho Telegraph due credit for pro
ducing evidence in support of its position
xwliich has already done much toward con
vincing the thinking people of Georgia
that “tax reform" and not “retrenchment"
is the correct policy for the estate to pur
sue. Sometime ago Mr. W. G. F. Price,
after an exhaustive investigation, contrib
uted to the columns of that paper, over
whelming proof of the fact 'that the prac
tice of “tax dodging" in Georgia is carried
to on alarming extreme; so much so, in
deed, as has now developed, that the state
is confronted with a large deficit, and her
law-makers are required to find at once
away out of the predicaments As usual,
the narrow, short-sighted policy of “re
trenchment” has been the first to suggest
itself, but we mistake the intelligence of
the legislative body if (that policy is adopt
ed in preference to that of “tax reform.”
which seems so urgently needed, in the in
terests of justice and good government,
even were there no deficit to contend with.
We have been deeply impressed, os we be
lieve thousands of others have, with TJie
Telegraph's Bound arguments along this
line, and wo are gratified at this oppor
tunity to jota hands with it in an effort
to protect the state of Georgia from fraud
ns well as from the injurious effects of a
narrow, niggardly policy of retrenchment.
Economy is always commendable in the
administration of public affairs, but re
trenchment for the benefit of the tax
dodger is neither a right nor a righteous
policy.

An Ottaway county (Km.) editor, says:
"We found a ball of snakes in the road
the other day and they were squirming
•ind fighting in a horrible way.” And yet
they say prohibition does prohibit. ■
Dr. John J. Ingalls.
The sudden death of this aged and be
loved citizen was a shock to this commun
ity. in which he had spent the most of a
long and useful life. Most mon make a
certain number of friends and command a
certain amount of esteem during their
lives, but there must be something su
perlatively noble and good in a nature
that begets such sincere love as was fst
Cor Dr. Ingalls by all classes. Rich and
poor alike esteemed him to a degreee, and
nil who were brought In contact with him
seemed to recognize in him at once those
finer traits of heart and mind which ele
vated him above the average man. Dr.
Ingalls was generous almost to a fault,
and none except those whom he befriend
ed in a quiet way will ever know the ex
tent of his charity. He was as modest as
he was charitable and as honest as he was
both. He was a man whose word was as
good as any bond, as hie long business and
•personal record proves tn every detail. He
was, in every sense, a high-minded,
noble-hearted, Christian gentleman, and
as such he will be long remembered by the
people of Macon, and thousands else
where, to a majority of whom his death
twill seem almost a personal loss. To the
cornunity in which he lived and to the
•world, the death of such a man is an Ir
reparable Joss.
Kaiser Bill Again,
It is almost Impossible to take Kaiser
Bill seriously; and yet so persistently does
he keep himself in the foreground of
everything pertaining to the world's poli
tics, science, religion or history that it
becomes almost necessary to take notice
of him in considering almost any subject
of current intercat. He is the best adver
tised article before the public today, and,
like some other things that have been
made famous by advertising, we fear his
greatest value is the advertising he has
had.
For some days past the world has been
watching the gradual development of his
latest freak idea, while his own people,
for the most part, have been kept in a
state of anxiety for fear he w%uld get into
trouble away from home. So far, how
ever, he has done nothing worse than make
an *asß of himself.
The culmination of his freakish entry
into Jerusalem and the ceremonies attend
ant thereon, was his tribute to Saladin,
who, of all the Sultans, was the bitterest
enemy of Christianity*. In the face of his
tory, and while in Jerusalem for the pur
pose of dedicating a Christian church at
the very birthplace of the Christian reli
gion, this German Emperor tpok occasion
to allude to Saladin as “one of the. most
knightly rulers of all ages,” and caused a
wreath to be placed upon his tomb.
Sqcb a performance would be amusing
in the extreme if it were not’ disgusting
and insulting to a degree. But this is not
the first occasion where it. is difficult , to
reconcile Kaiser Bill's actions and utter
ances with common sense and decency.
On the whole, it can but be admitted that
were it not for the German fallacy of the
"divine right of kings,” young William
would be considered a fit subject for an
insanity trial.
He has a certain amount of genius, to
be sure, but, for all that, he is a madman.
And bis madness partakes of a deeire to
do extraordinary things, that he may keep
himself before the public as much as pos
sible while living, and take up consider
able space in history when he is dead. In
the meantime, it is to be hoped that the
patience of other nations will not allow
him to make outside trouble for the Ger
man people, whose own com mon-sense and
conservatism has, so far, been their sefe
guard .both at home and
An Unwarranted Characterization.
The Rev. George Stuart, who has taken
a hand in the Bibb county prohibition
fight, has lined up the two sides as fol
lows:
lor prohibition: all preachers, good
mothers, good wives, church organizations,
F. and A. Masons, pious men, good women,
philanthropists.
Against prohibition: All dealers in
liquor, gamblers, horse racing men, drink
ing. men, robbers and thieves, un-Amer
icanized. foreigners, bad women, anarch
ists.
Under such an alignment where do such
men as the late George E. Waring come
in? He was a devoted advocate of tem
perance, and yet he opposed the prohibi
tion plan of promoting temperance. There
are thousands of people quite as favorable
to temperance as Mr. Stuart, who cannot
agree with him as to the advisability of
the “no license” system. Many' of them
are as moral, as temperate and as well
thought of as iMr. Stuart. Yet he under
takes to read them out of good company
and into the society of gambled, thieves,
anarchists and harlots.
It would be quite as reasonable for those
who believe in high license and strict reg
ulations as the best solution of the liquor
question to call every prohibitionist a
bigot and crank, merely because a few of
their number give evidence of these traits.
■The News 'is in receipt of several pa
thetic appeals from residents of Spring
street requesting that we use a little "soft
ipersusion with the proper authorities” to
have Spring street, between Cherry and
Washington avenue, hauled back and
otherwise repaired. iWe allowed ourselves
to be inveigled into that neighborhood
after dark recently, and are thankful to
say we escaped with our lives. We do
not mean by this that the residents, of that
locality are a dangerous lot; on the con
trary, they are extremely 'law-abiding and
’ patient, else they would long since Tjave
taken summary revenge on somebody for
the condition of their street. In appear
-1 ance it is closely bordering on what
'Shammrock street used to be before it was
reopened to navigation. The difference 'is
1 that Shammrock street was finally aban
doned and loss of life thereby prevented,
while Spring street is still open to the
' public, without the customary danger sig
nals to warn teams and pedestrians. The
street is so badly washed that nobody but
' a billy-goat or a man with an Alpine
stock would attempt it a second time. We
would respectfully suggest to the esteem
ed Board of Public Works, (Board of Pub
lic Safety, Board of Strategy, or some
other board that the street-'be rebuilt be
fore the foundation itself Is washed away.
There are others, but we are inclined to
think that this portion of Spring street
has the first call.
No matter which way an election goes,
some newspapers consider it their duty to
find encouragement in the result. This
has been forcibly demonstrated within the
past days by those papers which, based on
the first returns, gave way to great joy
over sweeping Democratic victories, but
which now, on second thought, find that it
is much better for the Democratic party
that the Republicans are in control of
both branches of Congress, because this
will fix the responsibility.
That was rather a questionable compli
ment paid William Astor Chanler by Boss
Croker, who, in referring to, the “rough
rider” feature of Roosevelt’s ’campaign as.
one of the causes for his success, remark
ed: “Why, just 'look how even Col Chan
ler beat Quigg.”
A bill has been introduced in the Legis
lature to prohibit ’’dove baiting” in Geor
gia, and it should become a law. Such
wholesale slaughter of birds as has been
carried on in this state of late years is not
only unsportsmanlike, but is positively
sinful."
The Marietta Journal thinks the only
way to keep Uncle Mark Hardin out of
office is to abolish all the offices. Well,
worse men have hung on longer; Mark
Hardin came pretty near earning every
dollar paid him by the state.
We don’t know who is at fault, but
somebody should be made to re-nave the
street car track on Cherry street. And,
that, too, without Any further delay.
By the way what has become of that
test case brought by citizens of Macon to
ascertain the legality of railroad consoli
dation in Georgia?
Colonel Lon says he was only joking,
but the othej- fellows would probably like
• it better if he wouldn't joke about such
a serious matter.
There is no need for Georgia to "pass
the hat” in order to keep things going.
Just make the “tax dodgers” pay what
‘ thby owe. -

Wait until Platt begins to buck with
Teddy, then we’ll find out if he is the
"rough rider” that he is cracked up to be.

[PHILIP’S SQUADRON.
He Will Have a Strong Fleet
in North Atlantic Waters.
By Associated Press. ’
New York, Nov. 14—A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Instructions have been given by Secre
tary Long to the officials of the navy yard
at Brooklyn prohibiting them from com
mencing any new work on the armor
clads in North Atlantic waters. Repairs
on them being completed, it is expected
that witshin ten days Commodore Philip
will ha\p under his command an effective
force consisting of all battleships and ar
mored cruisers now in commission except
the lowa and Oregon, which are now at
Rio Janeiro. These vessels will be kept
along the Brazilian coast for* another ten
days’ at least and by that time the author
ities say that the policy of Spain with re
spect to the negotiations will have finally
developed.
The armored cruisers New York and
Brooklyn are in splendid condtion; the
battleship Massachusetts will have com
pleted her repairs during the present week
and all construction work on the Indiana
will also be completed within that time.
So far as the Texas is concerned naval
officers say that,a short time only will be
necessary to repair her propeller sleeve.
Just as soon as all of the armor clads
are ready they will proceed to Hampton
Roads where they will .find the New York
awaiting them. Here the vessels will re
main pending such action as may ibe nec
essary as a result of information received,
from Paris.

Get a Start
On Catarrh
And Save Endless Suf
fering which Winter
Brings.
The most- offensive of all dis- j
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so Jong, and during the
summer feel little discomfort, from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
“For years I suffered from a severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try S. b. S.
(Swift’s Specific) and after two months
I was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.
“B. P. McA LUSTER,
“Harrodsburg, Ky.”
It is easy to see the importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

Those who get a start on the dis
ease before the cold and disagree
able weather aggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes dhe of the most ob
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,
washes, inhalations, etc., can
never cure Catarrh, for they do
u °f reach the dis
ease. Catarrh is
f i n blood, and
only a blood
fcW mF* remedy can cure
Local appli-
W --q cations only
~ reach theirritated
YA ilk, surface; the right
remedy must be
taken internally.
Swift’s Specific (S.‘ S. S.) is the
right remedy for Catarrh. It
cures the most obstinate cases by
going direct to the cause of the
trouble —the blood—and forcing
out the disease. Those who have
met with so much disappointment
from local treatment should throw
aside their sprays, washes and in
haling mixtures and take S. S. S.
A cure will result. Send for free
books. Address Swift Specific
