N i O "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. tu 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. - i ■* 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. Was that 'possum supper accompani- 1 ment to the selection of a prison site out of compliment to ex-Governor Atkinson? i The question arises can the new leather trust be called a soleless monopoly? ’ David Bennett Hill threatens to make his silence perpetual this time. ’ The "Maria Teresa seems to be able to ' defy all efforts to lose her. * While the lamp Jolds out to burn the vilest sinner may—'register.

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.

So far as the Texas is concerned naval officers say that,a short time only will be necessary to repair her propeller sleeve.

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.

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.
