INDEPENDENCE DAY
July the Fourth, the national birthday <>f the United
States, the day .we celebrate today, should he a day
sacred as. well a*: one of joy for the people of America
and since the World War this day HAS become such
a day. It is now a day of different meaning than be
fore the stirring days of 1917-18 and in Athens today
such spirit has never been shown here as is in evi
dence.
Of course much of this may he. due to the fact that
the American Legion is assembled, here with flying
banjters, American flags and the roll of drums,
thipga that will stir the patriotism of any man un
less Ji.s soul lie dead to the love of country.
IMs understood that the American Legion cannot
carry its spirit of loyalty to every nook and corner of
the Country collectively. If every town in Georgia
couW have a convention of the American Legion
Xuljgthe Fourth would be more appreciated, the
Amttican flag would he more sacred and the sham
of 'ti>atriot]V{n” and "Americanism" that has swept
ovcCthe country since the war would he laid aside
for Bic genuine article, exemplified by those who .
hav# dedicated their lives after they have fought for
theil country, to preserving and honoring it.
Ajhens is fortunate this July Fourth to be the cen
ter af the demonstrations in the state and may the
Legfjrn banner wave on and on with that of our coun
try fend the honor of both be upheld forever!
?' WATERMELONS BRING GOOD PRICES
V&termelon growers are now in clover. A fellow
wittf a big patch of Rattlesnakes is s trictly in it, with
plenty of money and no poor kin. This year of 1923
certSinly has been good to the watermelon .grower
ancrAf he takes a notion to'go off, take his.family to
the Springs, ail he's got to do is to pour gas in the
tankjand step on it.*
e highesi prifes ever paid for Georgia water-
la are being received through the Southwest:
ia Watermelon Growers Association. The regV
. stematic work- of growing melons and market-
cm scientifically is having its logical effect In
cdu&ting the northern taste up to* an appreciation
of the finest fruit that grows. And you can take it
from one that knows, no. harm can ever come ; from
this ".wholesome and delicious fruit, except when you
attempt to mix it with spiritus.frumenti. They simply
wotw mix, that’s all.
. Thirty, pound average melons are being settled
for gt the rate of $3*6.50 a car. This is net cash to
tiie grower after deducting freight,' selling costs,
etc.“You don’t even have \p take the trouble to go
aftefeit, for the association is mailing out checks to
the members. All a member has to do is- to stand
hitched long enough in one place and he will get his
chedjt. It is understood that the association is now
selling almost dally to a highly delighted member

GEORGIA PAYS IN INCOME TAXES
Undoubtedly at 'the prerent session of the legisla
tures tj>o taxing system of the r.tate will be
up ij>r discussion and revision. The fact re
main that Georgia must have more revenue and this
Tue must be raised by taxation, if Georgia is go-
find the money for its schools and colleges,
id roads, and for its common school system. It
ritable that this needed revenue must in a large
:omc from stale income taxes if it is to be raised,
tecoining more and more apparent that the old
ilorem system of taxation cannot be made to
ice the income Reeded by the slate,
its connection it is interesting to note what Geoiv
iys to the federal government in the way of iri-
tuxes. These figures also give an idea of what
te income tax ,can be made to produce, the
rcvoluc to be spent entirely within the state of Geor
gia 3ml for th6 betterment of its schools and col
lege* and the roads of the state.
Iii; 1019 there were filed in Georgia 58,930 income
i tax zeturnr, showing a net income of nearly 220 mil-
| UonSuollars and payiiig into the federal government
at* of over 9 million dollars. 1
i 1*1920 there were filed 73,325 income returns
‘ from Georgia, showing a net income of nearly 229
mililbn dollars from which \gns paid into the federal
government a tax of over 7 and a half million dollars.
V9th these figures before it,- the Georgia legisla-
turc-Uadoubtedly will he forced to the conclusion that
If the state of Georgia is to have necessary funds for
the Support and maintenance and for the proper de
velopment cf its schools and colleges and for its com-
moiCschooI system and for the extension of the good
roads of the state, that a state tax on incomes, fash
ion® on the federal government Vstem but with
low(>r rates and more generous exemptions, that such
a-tax U the only pu-cible wpy to which this revenue
I cahye raised for the future. • ■ ’ I *,. ! ; ’
Spiny of the states already have come to this con-
clusion and have adopted a state income tax. It is
incAceivablc that Georgia will continue to lag be
hind its sister states in providing the funds necessary
to lijirr.v on the work of educating its children offi-
cieiflly both in the common schools and in providing
faculties for higher education for these same children
in jffigh schools and in colleges or continue to fall
further behind in the,development of its highway
sys&m. And the money for such purposes cannot be
found save in ^revision of the present taxing system.
Speaking in cold figures and making no bones
-about commercial benefits that accrue from the odu-
catlbnal institutions located here, have you thought
whfet the Summer School means to Athens? There
anKOOO men and women here for a minimum bf'six
w elks. It will be. hard for ary, of.them to, spend less.,-
than $100.00 and that!* just $$00,000 left here in this
shdlt space of time. Athens with this much less this
summer could be lota worse off.
