PAGE TWO DISCUSSIONS BASED ON TAXATION, ROADS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Contmued PFrom Page One) the four mills ad valorem levied by the state is creating the bur den of heavy property taxation. “The business of state,” he said, *“js continually drifting in a chan nel that costs more Wwhile the ‘earning capacity of our people by force of conditions is continually growing less. " *Po begin with, the state is not taking care of tke school prob iem. She has fallen down so bad 1y until it has forced the counties to levy additional countywide school tax on property. Then they have been forced, in some in stances, to create special school districts where thes taxes run as high as ten mills. It must be carried or the school closed or go in debt. ““This condition and others are forced on the counties largely be cause the state is unwilling to perform her duty. If we must con tinue to carry the present tax burden it is just to every taxpay er of Georgia that the state as 4 whole pay a larger proportion of the taxes. Local taxes and state taxes have lost the proper propor- ‘ “The road problem is consuming the major portion of the income of country counties. I think it & time more of the gas tax was be ing used to help build and main tain feeder rvads to the highways and take some of the burden off the local taxpayer. “I believe there is enough gas tax to releve the burden of roads form the ad valorem levy over the entire state, if it was properly applied. 1 do not ihink gasoline taxes should be diverted to pay operation of the state and then the property be taxed to build and maintain roads. ' “The counties can not do the state's job.” ¢ President 8. V. Sanford of the University of- Georgia, welcomed the commissioners here. The commissioners’ Bessions are being held as the first azcuon of the in stitute of Public Affairs this year and is in the nature of a round table discussion. The second sec tion of the institute, dealing with Foreign Affairs, will be held early in May. J. J. Whitfield, Pulaski county, commissioner, told the commis ‘afoners that the counties of Geor gia are backward in rveforms ot ‘county administration. He urged uniform system of accounting whereby opunty officials! could givé information with accuracy when the public demanded it. , ~ He suggested a budget control act for county administration and such changes in tax laws as will make the administration gs county affairs enforceable in adgul prac tice as well as a legislative act to permit voters "n each county se leet their own form of local gov ernment. Others on today’s program: Frank Gabrels, ordinar of ‘Habersham county; P. B. Xewls. Jr., solicitor of the Burke county City court; C. A. Matthews, De- Kalb county commissioner, and George F.

Chapman Speaks Dean Chapman spoke briefly on the government program for re populating the farm acres and giv ing homes to the 27,000 farmers on relief rolls at present. “The New Deal has already be gun to show its effect on agricul ture,” he sald, “and farm products in the nation brought approximate ly 67 per cent more this year than last, and this per centage in Geor gia is almost 100, ’l..ere are three divisions to relief work: relief of the unemployed in cities, relief oi the farmer, and aid to transients who have no home. I propose to speak of this second division,” The government does not plan to ship the unemployed of the cities out into the country, Dean Chap man stated and the audience ap plauded. The government is try ing to give the 27,000 farmers on relief rolls a home in the county where they are living at pregent. Sixteen thousand of these are liv ing on farms, “like squatters, making nothing and in direst reed; 11,000 are living in relative ly small towns. All of them were raised on the farm and if givern an opportunity can make good farmers, § “We are looking for some plan by which these people can live in gecurity, with a decent home, and will have the opportunity to help themselves,” the speaker asserted. “The problem of finding land for them is the freatest, and the an swer will be found this week.” Eight counties have been select ed as iypical, he gaid, and inter viewers are seeing land-owners in them and asking their opinion of the program. Oconee county is one of these counties, and 35 land ownerns there have been interview ed, with practically all of themw willing to place one or more fam flies on their land where possible, Two Other Plans If this plan of placing the fami lieg doesn't prove practical, Dean Chapman outlined two other pos sibilities: the using of land held by the Federal lahd bank and the buying up of blocks of land and their subsequent colonization. He deplored this last plan, stat ing that he hoped it wouldn't be ecarried forward. He quoted a friend who said it would be too much like “Soviet Russia”. “These subsistence farmers will not go into competition with.other farmers,” he said, “as 'the present government supervision of farm ing and lmitation of products makes this almost Impossible. As for the pay the land-owner will recelve for letting the family live on his property, it has not been decided. It may vary in some cases from improvement of the property [to so much work per week.” Plans for stocking the farm of the subsigtence farmer will be worked out although the exact way has not been decided, the dean stated. 'On the AAA pro gram, that of dairying is not go ing forward as well as might be expected. The government is think ing of taking cows out of produc tion. = Alpeady, 50,000 milk cows have been offered Georgia to be distributed. These cows could be given the subsistence farmer. A meeting in Atlanta Tuesday night wag to discuss these matters, Dean Chapman said. the largest number of members | of any Lions club in the state, available records show, Dr.! Stanley R. Grubb is nreuident.}i and Captain Elmer Noble is sec- '! retary . I} Since January 1, the Athens } ¢lub has sponsored the organiza- | tion and chartering of four cluhs.{ and has recenyy organized a Lions | club in Danielsville. but the char- | ter has not been delivered as yet. ‘ No other club in the state can boast such a record, and it was | because of such activity, that the International president will visit here, after most eyvery other club in the state has heen umable to secure similar visits. % R RSt OSSR oiß TGS SR LS NEGLECT OF COMMON Prevent This Condition with | Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN ’ e o s e . The first question your doctor ' asks is whether you are constipated 1 or not. He knows that this condi tion may cause headaches, loss of | ‘appetite and energy, sleeplessness. | It is often the starting point of | serious illness. You can prevent and relieve com mon constipation so easily. Just eat a delicious cereal once a day. T.aboratory tests show that Kel logg’s ALL-BRAN provides “bulk” and vitamin B to aid regular hab its. ALL-BraN is also a rich source of blood-building iron. ~ The “bulk” in ALL-BrRAN is much like that found in leafy vegetables. Within the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the in testinal wastes. Isn’t this “cereal way” safer and far more pleasant than taking pat ent medicines —so often harmful? Two tablespoonfuls of ALL-BRAN daily are uspally sufficient. With each meal in chronic cases. If se riously ill, see your doctor — ALL BRAN is not a “cure-all.” Enjoy ALL-BraN as a cereal, or use in :::kkinz. Get the red-nn'd green age at rmr grocer’s. Made by Kellogg in Battie Creek. VARKET CHEERFUL* BUT WEARY TODAY Stocks Somewhat Livelier Than in Previous: Ses sions and Points Upward NEW YORK — () — FEinancial markets were cheerful but wary Wednesday and traders and in vestigators generally showed a disposition to look before leaping. Stocks, a little livelier than in the preceding session, pointed mod erately upward, but speclalties continued to draw the largest fol lowings. There was talk of news “just around the corner,” although there was nothing definite of an unusually bullish or bearish na ture, ~ Wheat rallied nearly a cent a bushel at. one time, but other grains were hesitant. Cotton was about steady and rubber improved. Silver was hesitant. The dollar recovered in foreign exchange mar kets. Federal bonds were in de mand and other loans fairly firm.

Ind. Hinesman, father of six children, wa; the oldest and most experienged of the miners). By JACK HINEMAN SWITZ CITY, Ind—(®)—Five of us were at work in the Sinclair mine Tuesday. when we discovered the top of the shaft was on fire aAbout lihl-p. m.,. ™ Thomas Barnett, a young fel low ‘who drives-the pony that hauls the coal cars, ran up shouting, “Hurry, guick, build a brattice, the tipple is on fire.” He had taken a loaded car to the shaft and found the wrecked mine cage, which fell ahen a cable Dburned through. Smoke -and fiames .were blowing down the shaft. I got all the men together, and we picked up gob and slate and sacks and started a hrattice about 200 feet from the mine entrance. Before we finished it, smoke and fumes drifting " along the passage refiched us, and knowing we would be overcome in a few moments, we abandoned it. S We moved back another 200 feet and built a second one, completing it before the smoke could penetrate to us. Behind it we settled and for the first time speculated as to what would beeome of us. We didn’t talk much. After about four hours we heard a sound pipe which runs from the surface through the mine, but had no way of answering it. Finally we thought we heard some one calling from beyond our brat tice, We didn’t want to tear it down until we were sure, because wé'd be asphyxiated if smoke ecame through. When we heard the call again, however, we decided the restuers were near. Young Barnett tore a hole through the brattice and was the first one out. They took all of us to the temporary cage they had rigged up. and hoisted me to the surface first. 1 had only a slight headache. I think we conill have stayed alive down there so. two,or two and a half days.

AGENTS SHOOT ’ DILLINGER’S FRIEND (Continued From Fage One) der heavy guard, is at a hospital In the only statement made by either police or federal officers, W, A. Rorer, heading federal forces in charge of solution of the Edward G. Bremer kidnaping case, an nounced that Green had admm,ed being one of the tnio involved in Saturday’'s gun battle with offi cers. Rorer said that the buit of a machine gun left in an automobile abandoned by the trio Saturday wag found in Green's apartment in front, of which Tuesday night's shooting occurred, The place is owned by a Negress. A “plant” was established. at the apartment by federal agents await ing the return of Green to obtain possession of- the butt as well as other baggage, including automatic gun clips and ammunition. Reports Conflict Reports of ‘the shooting con flicted. Rorer said Green was shot when he assumed a “threatening attitude which was accompanied by 'a menacing gesture” as he was endeavoring to get away with his equipment. Other witnesses said Green and his woman companion drove up”®to the apartment and that'the federal agent planted in the hoise opehed fire from a window as Green step ped from the ecar. To prevent pos sibility of a getaway a. car con taining federal agents armed with machine guns drove up behind Green’'s auto and shot at the rear tires. £ Jumping from the car the wom an screamed ‘“please don't shoot any more; we're alone.” ' She was immediately hurried away by the federal agents, and it could not be learned where she was being held Has Long Record Rorer said Green has a long criminal record -and in 1916 Green served six months in the Milwau kee house of corection on a grand larceny charge, The federal agents worked with such secrecy that they immediate ly wrapped newspapers about the license plates of Green’'s automo- bile and placed a tarpaulin over iy car. The St. Paul Pioneer Press said the license plates were issued teo a Minneapolis woman who on March 16, transfeérred the car to R. Colton, brother of Clarence Col tod who was picked up Saturday by police in the roundup, and who was acguitted a year ago in Minneapoli€ of the robbery of the Third Nerthwestern bank in which two policemen and & motorist were shot to death. More than 20 persons named by federal agents have been picked up by Bt. Paul police since Batur day as a résult of the federal cleanup.
