Governor Walker has not otfly acted wisely in call
ing an extra session of the le®saturc for the specific
purpose of passing sane and sJund tax legislation, but
he is making good to the peonle of Georgia his prom
ise made during the campaign.
When Governor Walker as inaugurated he an
nounced that he would not interfere with the deliber
ations of the legislature in .trfeir endeavors to formu
late a tax measure. He uitted them to repeal the
tax equalization law and to/pass an income measure
which would reach the invisible property of the
state which is now and ha* been escaping the tax
' books of Georgia. During Are session he has from
time to time warned the members of both houses that
unless some concrete action was taken by them in
providing a new tax act tljat he wold call an extra
session. The legislature fiiled to provide the mea-
Eure; Governor Walker has not failed to do his part
and carry out his declaration to call an extra session.
After all, it is better tliit such legislation should
be passed at an extra session, called for the specific
purpose. No other matter can come before the body
and the whole time, thouf ht and study of the legis
lators can be devoted to tfie specific issue of a tax
measure. , ,
It is believed that it is b iat for the state that no tax
legislation was passed. T le members will now have
somq time to consider th matter while away from
the excitement and turm il of a disorganized body
and when they return in he fall to take up the tax
problem they will be bett r qualified to formulate
and create a measure wl ich will not only meet the
views of a majority of thi members, but they will be
able!to work out a more atisfactory plan than they
would have during the rei ular session just closed.
IT IS NEAR COTT<
CHURCH ADVERT SING INCREASING
Recent years has brou iht n revelation in adver
B tisjng to all.sources and ei pecially the churches. The
B- parish organizations of t le Episcopal church in the
1 United States have adop sd a general publicity and
jg display advertising camp ign in the secular press of
tha country.
Rev. Robert F. Gibson, of the Department of Pub
liclty of the National Co ncil of the church has the
following to say on the s ibject:
* “Some of this advert sing is by individual par
ishes, some by. groups f parishes, some in com
bination with churches if other communions. Ap
parently most of it still consists of church notices
or display ndvertiseme its of special services or
■ meetings and invitatioi i to come to church. But
■ there is a rapidly grow ig conviction that church
9* advertising should con ain mntter which has
evangelistic purpdse, st dements ubout Christian
ity and the church and the application of Christ
ian principles. Many i xperiments in this sort of
advertising were repot ed to me. The national
department has been i rged to issue a regular
service of advertising orms, and it is hoped that
this service can soon bi established.”
There is no question oi the value of church adver-
tiring when properly air judiciously used. It will
■ reach an element nnd d aw them to the churches
* which no other agency ci n reach; an element which
has never visited the hou es of* worship; possibly be-
cause they have not had the proper .encouragement
nd maybe they are dov< id of the inclination to at
end religious services, lut be that as it may, re
ligious matter properly p esented in the newspapers
is bound to be read nnd it i reading is bound to reach
s'lme one who has gone stray from the right path
and one word or one ve: ic oftentimes changes the
J course of n person’s life a id turns them from a road
B of destruction and rertort i them to that avenue
which leads to a better x orld than this. If only one
out of a thousand is saved from the vices of sin, then
the publicity and advertif ng have served a good
purpose and those who hi Ipcd to bring about the
campaign of church adver ising have rendered n ser-
vico to mankind which has|been worth the efforts
••old money spent.
N PICKING TIME
| Cotton picking time usee to be the period of the
year when the farmer fel that his work was over
all except picking his cotti n, marketing and waiting
lor Christmas to come. F irming has changed in

crops there are crops to b« gathered at all season.)
of the year and the farmei is kept as busy as the
merchant who keeps his st ire open day in and day
out Farming is a regular pursuit now as much so
as any other line of commeri e or industry—it is an all-
year job and that is why thi agricultural industry has
changed to such importance
Crops arc gathered and i repared for market with
much care and system a i does the merchant pre-
re his stock of goods ant display it for the atten-
n of prospective customi rs. The farmer has be-

Successful business, if propc -ly followed and man

I Cotton picking time, how ver, brings on a feeling
Lpf better times and causes tl e grower to feel that he
has a product which will bri g him ready money and
Hitbat he can dispose of it wi hout discount or sacra-
fice. Cotton is a good crop t i raise, but the time has
come when a farmer who d< lends absolutely on cot
ton for his living and prospi rity will soon find that
it requires more than a cotti it crop to tide him over
from year end to year. To >e successful a farm
er must diversify and raise enough of foodstuff to
live at home and some to sel. When that condition
becomes general throughout he south and the farm
er raises his meat and grain, this section of the coun
try will be the richest in the nation.
