Taxation has to be worked out along the line of equitable treatment for all and the greatest good for the greatest number of people. That is always the duty of the law-making body. That is the problem that the Georgia le gislature just now is squarely up against. Just a few more days of the session re mains in which to frame a tax measure. It seems to us that the best thing the legis lature could do would be to pass bills to raise enough revenue for present emergen cies arid to provide for the expenses of the ? ;ovmment departments and instituions or 1922 and 1923, and then leave the ques tion of the income tax to the people, to be voted on in the shape of a constitutional amendment in 1922. It is being said that the people have not had time in which to present their views to the legislature on the various proposed tax laws. If this complaint be true there ‘should be no objection to passing a law to submit the question of an income tax to the people in the form of a constitutional amendment. The people would then have more than a year in which to consider the merits or demerits of the proposed law and if they did not want such a law they could defeat the amendment at the polls in No vember 1922 or if they did approve of it they could ratify the amendment at that time. The state is in a tight box. It must have more money if it carries on its work. It has a very short time in which to provide the laws to raise this needed money. The legislature will have to pass a tax law at this session or run into an extra session. At any event, whether it be in regular or special session, the tax law must he forth coming. The state cannot run without money and the present tax laws have been shown to be inadequate in the raiding of sufficient money with which to carry on the work of the state, There will be criticism and there will be opposition, but the legislature should go right forward and provide a new tax law that will be equitable and just but that will be sufficiently well worked out as to yield a tax income that will meet the require ments of the state as to the needs of its various departments and institutions.

The time will come when progreseive cities win, all have parking epacea es tablished near the bualnesi 'tenter. Many places will have them cared for by a pollce Officer .or perhaps hire some young fellow for a moderate fee to, look out for them. It would be good bustness policy to check euch care for nothing, or a trifling fae, as tha public would ap preciate thti thoughtful attention and It would be an In ducement for outsiders to come In and trade. Moat drlvars feel uneaey about tueir cars when they go off and leav* them unprotected. It would be a source of much eatlsfactlon to them to knew that they were being cared 'for on an automobile reservation.

Peach Culture. Next to cotton, if, Indeed, not ahead of it In some respects, Is the large peach ’ Industry which is Just about coming into prominence. I say “just about,” for it is only within recent years that peach growing has taken on great dimensions and the people have awakened to the possibilities in this fruit. There are several large orchards In which peach trees stand, not by hundreds, but by the thousands, one orchard alone having upwards of 10 000 bearing trees In. it, from which shipments are being made. It Is wonderful sight to one who has not yet seen such an array of peach treSfc. The Industry Is taking on large pro portions and promises to tncreaae in growth as the years pass on. By the time the presqnt season comes to a close, which will be within a lew days from now, there will have been shipped' frdm Commerce more than one hundred carloads of peaches to New York and other markets. It la said that tho crop this year la the finest that has ever been gathered, excelling in flavor, color, form and freedom from worms or other defects. And the keeping qualities of the fruit this year Is largely favored by the splendid weather conditions which have prevailed up to this time. Because of the extraordinary care of the trees before and during the fruiting season and, too, because of growing conditions, the peaches gath ered at Commerce are claimed to he superior to peaches from agy other section, and "Commerce /peaches" have gained an enviable reputation, especially In the New York markets It is said that peaches frdm th(s «ec- tlpn are sought by buyer* In prefer- eace to fralt from other sections, and that these peaches command a price In advance of others. The “peach season’’ Is a busy and strenuous one, and no Idle time fs spent from early hours of dawn, when dews cling In glistening beauty to leaf and fruit, until lengthening shad ows grow faint In faat dimming light of waning day. Peach pickera and packers are early a-fletd and at pack ing shed, plucking and sorting and crating the luscious beauties for ship ment to foreign markets. During the night cars are placed, upon sidings end with the early coming of day be gins the loading and Iclrig of the cars, and within a few hours they are rolling towards distant cities, north east and west, where wait the teem ing thousands to enjoy the tooth some delight of a "Georgia Belle” or Elberta” from Commerce, da. Only the choicest and most per feet fruit Is selected and prepared Tor shipment, the culls being sold or oth erwise disposed of right at the or chards for very much smaller prices than the shipped fruit commatda. "Culls” are not necessarily undesira ble fruit, but consists largely ol trull that Is over-rip* or with some elUjht detect. Some really delightful peaches were enjoyed by the writer which were In the “cull” dlass only because they were a bit too ripe for shipping any great distance The value of this year’s crop to the growers will be something upwards of 960,000, It Is estimated. Shipments from some of the or chards which will be and have been made this year are from ««' c - Ttctfito.thay to,'2^,, it is officered and managed entirely by the "folks at home are absolutely no out *^® *"* d f ,n ences. The mill was organised in 1893, and from its start ha* proved a profitable venture ., , , The mill company Is capItalUeA at 2250,000. Its officers are: Dr- L- «■ Hardman, president; J “ dg jJY' Jec . Stark, vice president. C. J. Hood, aec rdtary and treasurer; J. D. Barnett, general office man and manager, and J. D. Black, superintendent The mill nfhs 15,000 spindles, 444 looms and employs about 250 opera tives. At times the number of opera tives Is beyond this number. The out put of the mill Is yarn and' cloth. Dally consumption of cotton amount! to twenty-five bales and the dally ca pacity Is around 25,000 yards of sheet ing and drills. — Labor condRIons at the mill are splendid, the operatives being plenti ful and contented with their living conditions. There )are about sixty operatives’ houses which are rented to the occupants at a very low rental; around these homes are roomy yards, wbqrein small gardens may be main tained, and the houses are all fur nished by the oompany with free wa ter and electric light service. The mill operatives are, generally speak Ing, In excellent health and their eo- rial environments are good. While, It le said, conditions have been of late years unfavorable to cot ton mills generally, the Harmohy Grove Mill has, with the exception oi a few weeks during the fall of 1920, run on full time alnce Its organisa tion and It ft now running on full time. Also, while condition* have been antagonistic towards large profits this mill has maintained IU wage scale on such a bast* aa to gtv* , Its operatives a living wage, though having to operate on a small margin^ of profit. The Harmony Grove Mill baa been a potent factor In the growth of Com merce, and since the mill has been In operation It has paid out In wages alone about one and one-half million dollars.
