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 Wrtnt years and under thi system of diversifying 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- >me a business man and re ords arc kept of his pro ducts and of his sales as mi ch as is records kept by ■fhe merchants. It is a bus less and can be made a Successful business, if propc -ly followed and man aged. 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. “The Genius of Amerh a,” in a •cries of studies in be ha f of the younger generation. Writ en by a professor of English at ho' Uni versity of Illinois, the sub ect mat ter is handled by a perso entirely capable. Especially is tills true be cause the author knows t e young er generation in such ail intimate way.
