The Least Harmful Solutiun of the Problem.
Xn editorial 'in The News taking issue
with tht Atlanta Constitution as to tue
Ix»it rolutloa of the problem which now
confronts the state, hats called forth an
uu wer from that paper which is deserving
of i iiou.' attention, and yet which, to our
mind, dot f not dispose of the question at
i.-aue.
The Constitution st.lies the case very
fairly and plainly as follows:
"Georgia has appropriated money be
yond 'her ability to pay; the treasury is
empty; tile people are opposed to increased
s'Hlaxntion, and they have a right to relief.
If they cannot run a five million govern
ment, then they must reduce to a three
million Ixisi.s; and if they cannot pay three
million* then they must reduce to two
or one million which they can pay. That
■in bu: the commonest kind of common
sense. try to get around it how you will.
" The New s. however, goes on to 'furnish
this statement: ’Tax reform and not re
trenchment I* the proper slogan for those
who have the stlate’s l>est 'interest at
heart.' That is, that wo must enter upon
untried experiment of tax reform but keep
up our high rolling all the same, without
waiting to see whether that tax reform
will answer what is claimed for tit. Let
Tlie New. amend its declaration to I>hls<
vtiiet, thlat ‘tax reform' and ‘retrench
ment’ is the proper slogan for those who
have the interests of the state at heart
tLet um have retrenchment within the
lim ans we have, and not kiting about the
country on borrowed money, and let us
have with it the I win measure of tax re
form. so that the tax dodger .may be
brought to time. When we have secured
t hese dodger*, and turned Ihe money into
■the treasury. then appropriate that money
for the most worthy objects in sight, .about
which tihere will be no discussion. There
Is nobody opposed to tax reform, nor to
■pushing delinquents up to doing their
duty. The only call made is that we shall
not spend money until we know we have
It. Let the M*acon New* first catch the
rabbit before 'it logins the skinning pro
cess. The rabbit In hand 'is very neces
sary to the operation.”
\\ e frankly admit the case to be about as
the Constitution has stated it, except that
** do not. regard the plan of “tax reform”
suggested as an “experiment.” On the
contrary, we cannot see how there can be
tlie least doubt that an enormous, and in
till probability sufficient. increase of rev
enue will result the first year from the
hppointment of boards of tax assessors in
each county as proposed in a bill now be
fore the Legislature.
The Con*titu.tion uses Macon and Bibb
eountt to illustrate its argument, saying
that the people of this county would se
riously object to an increase of the tax
rate. Os this there is no doubt, but they
would not object to a decrease of the tax
rate, which would result from the careful,
■conscientious work of a board of asses
*ors in this county. We heartily agree
iiat tlie present rate is too high, and we
want to see it lowered, but the quickest
and most effective way is by bringing the
<ax dodger to time.
It is all bosh to talk about the difficulty
of bringing this hidden property to light.
In the first place, it is not even hidden.
We do not expect to ever see a tax law
that will compel all property to pay its
*lran> of the public burden, Just a* we
don't expect to see stealing discontinued
or <ti permanent stop put to other forms of
fraud; but we do not (consider it a very
difficult matter to prevent such flagrant '
violations of the tax lbw as are now com
mon in every community.
For instance, there are more houses kept
within the city limits of Macon than are
returned for taxation in the whole county.
In a majority of cases real estate is re
turned at a valuation less than one-third
of the prieathat the owner could be indue- ‘
’ I to take for it. In some cases property '
that is insured for $20,000 i s returned at
5.i.000. The tH>i>onaJ property returns of
I'vrtain people amounts to less than the
;o tu.il value of their wearing apparel, while
ull the diamonds ami jewelry returneel for
taxation in the county is not as much as is
worn at a single social gathering.
Ami yet these people have the‘nerve to
talk about high taxes. We thoroughly
■agree with the proposition that it is not
well to spend money that we haven’t got.
but we .io not think very much is risked
in appropriating money that we can easily
r<: if wo but take .the trouble.
V.tcr all, it is merely a business rrxat
r. and one that can be taken care of in
th. usual business way. If a plan can be
'levied, as we believe can be done, where
by the tax returns of the state ran be in
creased many millions, why enter upon
'inh a radical plan of “retrenchment?”
"ay not meet the difficulty in another
yay Surely Georgia has finances enough
to devise a safe, economical. conservative
plan for meeting this deficit without crip
i' ag the public schools and depriving the
"11 soldiers and their widows of their pit
tance.
It semis to us that a great deal more is
to be lost in disorganizing and crippling
the present public school system than
would be involved in tiding over the diffi
culty until the “tax reform" pkan can be-
Rin to show results, which will be almost
at once. One is a step backward; at most,
the other is not a dangerous step forward.
But there is still another verv important
point to be considered. Let it be known
’bat tne state is to adopt the plan of "re
trenchment” and there will be no very se
rins efforts at reform. -Rut lay it down
flatly that the only way out is by moving
orward. and we will see some active steps
•taken in the direction of fuller returns and
lower taxes.
bet it be understood that fraudulent re
turns means a higher tax rate, and we will
soon find the work* of the assessors—if so
wise a plan is adopted—materially supple
'mented by information from neighbors and
Other sources that would not otherwise pay
much attention to rhe matter. Self-inter
est would demand dt.
As for that deficit, wp have as yet seen
no reason why it cannot be properly and
safely arranged, and we can see no excuse
whatever for failure on the part of the
i present Legislature to devise u tax law
that, though it may not be perfoot, will, at
■ lea*t, prevent such flagrant fraud as is
now’ practiced in this state.
Another Favorite Form of Bigotry.
We are all of us. no doubt, unconscious
ly more or less guilty of bigotry at times,
but we will all admit that bigotry is a
very bad thing. In fact, it shows a nar
rowness of mind that does not speak well
for one’s intelligence: as, for instance, the
more bigoted a man the more fanatical,
consequently the less sane.
Our objection to a man’s dress, his poli
tics or his religious views is, to a certain
extent, bigotry, more especially if he car
ried to the extent of estrangement or of
causing us to openly criticise tbot-:e whose
ways and opinions we do not like.
But the highest form of bigotry is that
which sets up a code for the moral and
personal guidance of all mankind—a* if
the same pleasures, the same pursuits
should be indulged in by all alike—merely
because the bigot happens to favor those
particular pleasures or those pursuits. It
is doubly bigoted, however, if we attempt
to imply bad motive or sinfulness to the
person who cannot think and act as we
do.
The New York Sun scores some very
forcible points along this line while refer
ring to certain criticism of the New York
horse show as being a great piece of fool
ishness and extravagance, as, no doubt,
most people will consider it.
And yet we never stop to think, as the
Sun suggest*, what benefits arise from an
affair of this sort. 'As, for Instance, the
fact that it not only wakes up trade and
promotes the distribution of money among
people who live by their labor, but It in
directly widens the field of such people’s
activity. In the mere matter of creating
a larger demand for handsome and care
fully bred horses, suggests the Sun, for
elegant carriages and harness, and for
better trained coachmen and grooms, it
increases the wealth-producing capacity
of the community, and when to this is
added the stimulous it gives to all kinds of
social enjoyment and to the ministrations
they demand, it is difficult to estimate the
extent of its usefulness.
But those economists whom the Sun al
ludes to as being of the “Poor Richard”
school never stop to think of this. They,
in common with the ascetic religionists,
as the Sun calls them, reason from an
entrely different standpoint. They con
demn such affairs as a wasteful and wick
ed employment of wealth. They demand
that the surplus means of the rich shall
be devoted exclusively to charitable pur
poses? They figure up how many hospi
tals, almshouses, schools, free libraries,
and similar Institutions for the benefit of
the poor could be maintained with the
money spent for transitory pleasures, and
assume the claims of such charities to be
paramount to all others.
For this the Sun argues with great force
and truth as follows: ,
“All this is taking a narrow and bigoted
view of life and its duties. It contradicts
one of the axioms of religion as well as of
common sense, that human beings have
other than physical wants, and that the
mere keeping of the 'body alive and in
health is not the sole end of existence. If
it were universally adopted, it would con
vert the world into nothing but a work
shop for the strong and-a hospital for the
weak, and it would banish from among us
the numerous recreations and enjoyments
which now alleviate our miseries. More
than this, it would prevent, the develop
ment of the human faculties, and make
impossible the creation of works of art
and the productions of literary genius.
Even the wealth created, being composed
exclusively of the bare necessaries of life,
would cease to be wealth, and would con
sist of a superabundance of raw material,
which would have no more value than the
sand of the desert.”
George 'Wilson’s minstrel show has gone
to pieces. George needs to get him a black
tie. a long coat and a license, and go about
the country cracking his jokes and abusing
everybody jmd everything in eight. We’ll
guarantee he 11 make more in three years
than he has made during his whole life.
Remarkably Well-Behaved.
Enough has already been seen of the
soldiers encamped in our midst to justify
the statement that they have failed to
come up to what was expected; for it must
'.be confessed that many of our people
really had misgivings as to order
of the community during the stay of sev
eral thousand troops in this city. Perhaps
this feeling was natural and excusable, in
view of the reports that have come from
elsewhere about the various bodies of
troops; but the conduct of the troops now
in Macon almost casts a doubt upon the
truthfulness of those reports.
Wo do not mean that there have been
no infections or that the several thousand
soldiers now in the city have conducted
themselves like delegates >to a Sunday
school convention might be expected to do,
nor that all of them have acted as mem
bers of a dignified, deliberative body might
be expected to act; but we do say that for
an idle army of soldiers .they have been
remarkable for their good conduct; this
statement being, so equally true of
both the white and negro troops.
There is no doubt that most of our peo
ple have been on the lookout -for acts of
disorder and every man wearing a uni
form has been more closely watched than
those about him in civilian garb, and yet
nothing has occurred to complain of. The
few infractions 'that have occurred were
s- uch, as might be expected in so large a
body of young men away from home and
unrestrained by family or business ties.
W e have seen more rowdyism among a
much smaller number of college boys. In
deed, it is remarkable that so large a body
of men are so well behaved. The conduct,
so far, of the troops encamped here reflects
gfoat credit not only upon the officers in
charge, but upon the men themselves, the
great majority of whom seem to be im
bued .with proper respect for the uniform
which they wear, and disposed to conduct
1 hemselves as they would on the streets
of their home town. It is certainly a re
lief to Macon to find such a spirit among

CONSERVATIVE
Applauds the News’ Editorials
in Defense of the City
of Macon.
Editor News: Permit me, as a lover of
justice and fair play. 4o compliment you
on the very admirable editorial in your
issue of yesterday and of the afternoon be
fore, referring to the reckless and damag
ing criticisms of our fair city and the city
and county officials by irresponsible public
speakers. The article® are written in the
best of temper, and while dignified and
irreproachable as to tone, they form a
stinging rebuke, and it is a pity that while
being applauded and approved by all lovers
of justice they will no doubt fail to pene
trate the thick hides boasted of by those
who take advantage of their calling to
utter slanders against our city and our
people. You voice the true sentiment of
all good citizens in your defepce of the
mayor and council, Judge Felton and the
grand jury.
The writer does not agree with you in
your advocacy of high license, but is that
good reason, or reason at all, why the
writer should denounce you In all the
slanderous terms possible, or that in the
same terms The News should denounce
the writer?
With such floods of slander, abuse, and
the vilest of epithet®, such editorials of
yours are as refreshing as sunshine after
a spell of bad weather. Right-thinking,
conservative people will read and enjoy
such reading, and it will do much to
ward bringing the people together, besides
inducing them to vote for the continued
prosperity of Macon and will offset all the
torrents of slander and abuse that can be
poured out by imported speakers whose
only interest in the city is the money they
can make by their slander. I consider
those articles the best defence of Macon
I have read in many a long day, and you
deserve the commendation of every good
citizen.
.All right on this line, let me suggest
that as The News is fighting so valiantly
for Macon’s future, would it not be appro
priate that the Chamber of 'Commerce fol
low in the same line and take some ac
tion? The members of the Chamber of
Commerce are as vitally interested in the
future prosperity of .Macon as The News,
the mayor and council, or any citizen.
