Adams introduced hill in the legislature providing for Legislator-Legionnaire »[>!•< 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.

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.
