"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.

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.** MAY A POLE WED IN RU88IAT IT8 A MATTER OF GEOGRAPHY WARSAW—The Polish govern ment has announced that It will consider valid In Pqlfnd all mar riages performed by Soviet civil of< flees uniting Russian citizens, but 8oviet marriages between Polish subjects originating from the for mer Russian part of Poland, where civil marriage did not exist, will not be considered valid. 8ovic marriages between Poles from the former Austrian and German Poland, where civil mar led, are valid and can be LEGION P08T8 KEEP 8UN GOING FOR PLACE TO 8ET INDIANAPOLIS—The sun never sets on the American Legion, was learned after a check had bee Q made on the membership by na tional headquarters here.
