The tax rate for Floyd county

The Grand Jury of Douglas
county in its general present
ments pays the following neat
compliment to the popular court
officials of this circuit:—“In
taking leave of the court, we
commend Judge Charles O. Janes
for the able and impartial man
ner in which he Inis presided
over the court; and to Solicitor
General W. T. Roberts we extend
our thanks for courtesies shown
us; last, but not least, to the
eninl and accommodating court
stenographer, Mr.II.M. Nicholes,
who lias rendered us valuable
assistance, which we duly ap
preciate.”
The Albany Herald pays a
high and well deserved compli
ment to one of Georgia’s best
public oliicials in the following:
“Before Hon. O. B. Stevens took
charge of the oflice of Commis
sioner of Agriculture there was
talk of abolishing it. We hear
no such talk now. The depart
ment has grown in popular favor,
and the farmers of the state feel
more interest, in it and are deriv-
more benefit from it than
ever before. Instead of talking
about abolishing the department,
people are now demanding an
enlargement of its scope,and the
Legislature; will he asked to
establish an experiment station
in South Georgia. The people
chose well when they elected
Mr. Stevens Commissioner of
1 Agriculture.”
THE STATE TAX KATE.
We notice some of the few
surviving populist exchanges
engaging in their favorite pas
time of critizing the Georgia
Legislature—this time for raising
the tax rate. One of them “rises
to remark” as follows:—
The Democratic, party has had con
trol of Georgia for thirty years or
more, and has gone before the people
at every election claiming to be in
favor of low taxes and an economical
administration. These promises, how
ever, have never been fulfilled, but on
the contrary, the expenses of the state
government have continued to increase
with every administration nmi the
taxes to grow higher.
This, of course*, is ;i ha hi per
version of history. The truth is
that when Governor Candler as
sumed the reins of oflice the state
tax rate was $15.01 on the $1,000.
Last year it was $5.20, and this
year it will be $5.44.
Another fact is that the in
creased taxable values of the
state would have been more than
sufficient to raise the revenue re
quired to cover the increased ap
propriations made by the Legisla
ture for the Soldiers’ Home, the
insane asylum, the schools for
the blind and the deaf, and other
state institutions badly in need
of funds for their growing needs
GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
President McKinle^ in his
speech at Buffalo last Friday,just
before his attempted assassina
tion,gave utterance to some good
Democratic doctrine, which still
further endeared him to the
musses of tin* American people,
and at the same time sounded a*
note of warning to those whose
greed would place through the
tariff a “Chinese wall” around
this country. Among his most
forcible utterances on this line
were the following:—
“We have a vast and intricate busi
ness, built up through years of toil and
struggle, in which every part of the
country has its stake, which will not
permit of either neglect or of undue
selfishness. No narrow, sordid policy
will subserve it. The greatest skill
and wisdom on the part of the manu
facturers and producers will be re-
•qiired to hold and increase it.
“By sensible trade arrangements,
which may not interrupt our home
production, we shall extend the out
lets for our increasing surplus. A
system which provides a mutual ex
change of commodities is manifestly
essential to the continued healthful
growth of our export trade. We must
not repose in fancied security that we
can forever sell everything and buy
little or nothing.
“Reciprocity is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial
development under the domestic policy
TOILET SOAPS!
AND-
—for as Georgia grows in popula- now flr,nljr “‘•bltalied. What we pro-
... ,, ... . i duee beyond our domestic consumption
tion, so will the necessities of J
her various institutions increase.
Another fact is that the in
creased rate is directly due to the
adoption lust year by the people
themselves of the constitutional
amendment providing for pen
sions for widows. In accordance
with thia action of the people,
the Legislature appropriated
$100,000 for this specific purpose,
and this large appropriation 1ms
proved insufficient instead of be
ing excessive. The applications
have come pouring in at an unex
pectedly heavy rate,and the $100,-
000 appropriation falls far short
of the demands upon it.
Still another fact is that the
Reunion Commission has made u
calculation that the new names
on all rolls next year will call for
$110,000 more, which will require
an extra levy on the present rate
of .25. In other words, the total
state tax levy of 1002 will he
about $5.70.
We think we can safely leave
it to any fair-minded person with j
any knowledge of arithmetic j
that neither the Democratic
party nor the Georgia Legislature
is responsible for the increased I
tax rate. The people voted it j
themselves last year almost utian-;
imouldy —Democratic, repuhli- i
cans, populists ami independents,
—and nothing hut a revision of !
the pension laws so that none
hut needy veterans and their
widows shall receive pensions,
will avail to stop the rapid in
crease in the state tax rate for a
number of years to come.
At the South Carolina Inter
state and West Indian exposi
tion, which opens Dec. 1st at
Charleston, a (rood Roads ex
hibition will he made, and the
economical and scientific build
ing of roads will he illustrated
by means of a Good Roads Train,
which consists of several cars
loaded with the latest improved
machinery for road-building and
is under the charge of expert
road builders. The railroads have,
hitherto given free transporta
tion to this train in the West,and
by sending notifications ahead
the different points where the
exhibition work was to he done
have always had large gatherings
of merchants, farmers and the
general public to witness the
operations of grading, ditching
and general road construction on
modern, economical and scien
tific methods. It will he of
very'great interest and benefit
throughout all the Southeastern
tier of states to have this Good
Roads Train give exhibitions
from town to town, and we would
like very much to see it come to
Polk.

must have a vent aboard. The excess
must be relieved through a foreign
outlet. The period of exclusiveness is
post. Expansion of our trade und
ommerce is the pressing problem.
Commercial wars are unprofitable. A
pulley of good-will anil friendly trade
relations will prevent reprisals. Reci
procity treaties are in harmony with
the spirit of the times; measures of
retaliation are not.
"If, perchance, some of our tariff
are no longer needed for revenue, or to
encourage and protect our industries
at home, why should they not be em
ployed to extend and promote our mar
kets abroad?
"We must build tin* isthmian canal,
which will unite the two oceans,
construction of a Pacific cable cannot
