KEEPS MONEY
AT HOME
The average cost of start
ing an acre in alfalfa in this
section, not including labor,
has -been approximately $20
■ per acre—for seed, manure,
limb, inoculation, fertilizer
and seed.
The average life of an al
falfa field, when proper pre
cautions are taken in prepar
ing has been five years.
The State Agricultural Col
lege produced 5 tons of alfalfa
hiy (cured) per acre on a
field, per ‘year f° r the first
four years. '
Alt&Ua hay has been sell
ing locally for $2G to $28
wholesale and $30 a ton retail.
There are at least 50,000
ncies of idle, cleared lands in
northeast Georgia. Some of
thi* land is adapted to alfalfa.
Auer northeast Georgia lands
have been in alfalfa, they pro
duce belter and more crops
with less fertilizer than be

University Professor Is
Called “Star Man With
Tax Commission.” Laud-
ed^in Editorial.
"The Star Man With the Georgia
Tax Commission,” or “The Man
Who Understands It" is the way
in which Dr. J. E. T. McPherson,
professor of political science and
history at the Uniersity of Georgia,
has been characterized by the Sa
vannah Press in an editorial in
that paper appearing Thursday af
ternoon.
The editorial which is altogether
laudatory of the very distinguished
member of the University facutly
reads:
“HE UNDERSTANDS IT
“The star man who was with the
tax commission In Savannah was
Dr. J. H. T. McPherson, professor
of history and economics at the
University of Georgia, Athens.
“Dr. McPherson has written
freely and intelligently about tax
ation and The Savannah Press has
quoted from hls pamphlets tlmei
and again. He has brought more
experience -to bear up this ques
tion than any of the- rest of the!
commission,'because he has made
a study of the subject.
it is very evident that there
must bo a small Income tax. This
has been brewing In Georgia for
some time. Governor Hardwick af
first suggested it and Dr. McPher*
son in hls pamphlets has differen-;
tinted between property which Is
productive and property which is
not He suggests now a minimum.
income tax with a figure also fprj
very small incomes. It Is tbc^praC'4
tice of many of the older countries
In Europe to make everybody pay j
a little for the support of the gov
ernment. No ono is exempt and
there Is a flat rata for very small |
incomes. •
Besides this, Dr. McPherson |
suggested a sales tax, returnable i
every quarter, passed* on to tho I
consumer, and entered as over- 1
head. Dr. McPherson explained
thnt the idea of the sates tax was I
hot that" tho retailer should pay I
on each article, but that every!
quarter or every six months he
should make returns on all hls
cash sales add credit aecourft pay
ments. This nix he could distribute
by increasing the -cost to tt)e con
sumer of certain articles * non
competitive In their character and
which were best calculated to carry
the additional charge. He would
add an Increase In rent of arfy
other overhead lucrease and die*
tribute It In the same way in pric
ing hls stock. This would be fair
to the consumer, Dr. McPherson
said, because he would pay only
one tax. and would not necessitate
the absorption of tho tax by the
merchant, as Mr. Parnelle, feared.**
