Onco tax-exemption advantages of residence in Washington are^un- derstood by the nation's rich,' says Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, there will be a-gold rush to Washington that will make the stami>cde to the Klondike look like cold molasses. If the rich only knew Washing ton's wondorful advantages in tile wny of taxes.” Shaw says, "tuts city would huvo u papulation of 1.000.000." The population under the 1920 census was 407,Ml. TAX • EXEMPTIONS Consider this: If you live In uny other; sizable city, you huvo n mu ulelpal tux to .pay for tho city's up keep, a county tax for tile main- tenanceot county government, and on toil of this, u stute tux. Above •ill this you huvo a federal Income tux and in many states a state in sane tax. ! Hut in Washington there is only i cue tax besides the federal Income tax. That is tho District of Co lumbia property tax. And ns tile federal government assumes 40 per rent of the cost of administering the district, the local,tax is lower than far most cities of Wushlng- u n's size.

(Where blanks appear infoi From 1914 to 1^18, inclusive, the average rate of return on various other in- lurlrits was as follows: - Five large oil companies in California 14.9' V , Manufacturers of canned milk 24.7 1 Wheat flour mills 23.0 Five great mefct packers 16.2 v • Manufacturers of farm implements 10.9 All industries have good years,and bad years; ail, except the railways, are -given an opportunity tp store up a surply s during'prosperous times to tide them over lean years. The railways do not criticise the profits of other industries, nor do they expect to be permitted during prosperous time to increase the prio transportation—the only commodity they have for, sale, but they must be afforded »» opportunity,; through efficient‘and economical operation, if they are going to -function in the interest,of 1 the public, to Barn and rttain a rate of return^which will enable, them'to obtain funtis; to provide for large annual expenditures to meet the increasing demands of commer^ej I ■if There.is an unfolded impression that tbe railroads are guaranteed a rate of return of 6% on their stocks and bonds. The law provides that the Interstate Commerce Commission shall say what rate of return they may earn on the value of property devoted tp transportatibn and fix rates accordingly, yet the railways nave onever even approximated the ate fixed and have had to pocket-their lo.^- .Tneyjtjjve not 1 earned as much a| tlie Government guaranteed on all but the first IteueloKLiberty Bonds, dr; op recentf Issue t ofc-Treasury Certificates. These seairi- ties ntfj.all more attractive to the average investor than the pest class of railr >aii bonds carrying materially; higher rates of interest. This situation is of interest and importance to the public, because transportation is an essential factor of busings. -The Central of Georgia Railway suhpiits these figures as an ijjustration of the results of ai restrictive policy which seems to us cannot safely be carried to greater extremes. We believe that these facts make answer to the attack upon the rate structure of the, railjroada, which is continually being waged by certain radical ele ments having Government ownership as their aim. - t r For ourselves we only ask the same, treatment that is accorded industries gen erally, without further impairment and limitation of earning power through re e reductions and 'adverse legislation. Constructive criticism and suggestions arc* invited. • “ enL Central Savannah, Ga„ March 16, * :a. wlebukw.— of Georgia Railway Company- IBM
