THE WASHINGTON LOWDOWN
BY RODNEY DUTCHER
By RODNEY DUTCHER
Banner-Herald Washington Cor-l
respondent
WASHINGTON — That little |
family squabble in Tokio is being
watched intently here-—and pre-!
sumably in all other world capi-i
tals—for its possible bearing on|
the great standing question: i
When will tr&e next big war|
war break out—and where? !
’;‘wo vears ago the dopesters otl
international politics anticipated |
an early war between Japan and
Ru=gia which would spread atl
1e as far west as Germany.
More recently they have believed
the first cutbreak would come in
“urope. Now world-wide atten
tion shifts back to the Far East.
If the extremist militarists who
killed the ruling Japanese states-‘
men turn out to have made some
headway by their uprising, there
will be an increasing disposition
to believe that the next interna
tional slaughter will begin with a
Russo-Japanese clash, which al
most inevitably would involve
Cevmany, France, and most 01'
Rarope.
Boosts Russian Morale
Comment has been made on the
recent ceckiness of Russians fol
lowing skirmishes with Japanesel
in Mongolia. Diplomats here]
know, as few others do, that some
of those skirmishes were of sub
stontial proportions. |
Detachments of Japanese troops‘
made several raids and were
wiped out. Russian warplanes}
are said to have figured in these
Lumpkin Law School
Students Addressed
By Orville A. Park
Suggested amendments to the
present state laws and increased
efficiency of administration will
not provide sufficient funds to au
thorize the state to take over public
schools or other functions now be
ing performed in some fashion by
the counties, nor to relieve real
estate of the present tax burden,
Orville A. Park, prominent Mavon
attorney, said here yesterday.
“Apparently the only tvpe of
taxation which offers any hope of
doing this ig some form of sales
or gross receipts tax,” he said in
an address to University Lumpkin
Law school students.
“Such taxes are now in opera
tion in 17 states and have all prov
ed to be excellent revenue produc
ers. They are about as painless
and as easily administered as any
form of taxation.”
Judge Park said:
“While there are many argu
ments against a sales tax, and the
suggestion will undoubtedly meet
with strenuous opposition, particu-
Jarly from ‘the merchants, if pro
perty is to be relivered, if the
pblic schools are to be adequately
supported, if the state is to take
over any of the functions of the
counties, there appears to be no
escape such tax. 2
“«Under a sales tax many people
who now pay nothing to the sup
port of the government will be
reached, There will .be a much
wider distribution of the tax bur
den. With property taxes proper
ly. classified, income taxes, busi
ness taxes, and sales taxes, prac
tically everyone would have some
share in the support of the govern
ment. No one tax would be just
fair Each supplements the others.
“With a carefully worked our
program embracing these features
we might hope to have a reasonably
fair and just system. To that end
it behcves every citizen of the state
to lend his best efforts.”
Jydge Park was introduced by
Dean Alton Hosch, of the Law
school, as one of a series of guest
lecturers, .

battles which raged around the
sl.ot where Mongolia, Manchukuo,
and Siberia meet. Most of the
news was suppressed.
Japanese militarists have been
rather wild about it and Russians
have acted as if they had no fear
of war with the island empire.
Whether all this was what pri
marily irked the young Japanese

CWENS SPEAKS TO
ART ASSOCIATION
By RUTH CUSTER
‘When steep road banks are
sloped back, sight distance in
creages, said Hubert B. Owensin
a talk on landscaping the high
ways at the meeting of the Ath
ens Art Association last night.
“Not only is traffic safety ins
creased but maintenance cost is
lowered, for ditches do not need
shovelling and the land is pro
tected from erosion”, continued
Mr. Owens who is Landscape Ar
chitect for the Georgia = State
Highway Department and head of
the Landscape Architecture De
partment at the University.
The Federal Bureau of Roads
passed a ruling three years ago,
Owens said, that a certain per
centage of the funds given the
states must be spent on roadside
improvements,
Proposed projects when com
pleted, he continued, will be used
as models for the surrcunding
areas. The counties and cities, he
added, can then take up the work.
“Signs should come down be
cause their artifiicial look mars
the beauty of the landscape,” he
said. “There is a law prohibiting
signs on the highwaly right-of
way,” he conitnued, “but there is
] no penalty stated.”
{ After the banks are properly
i sloped, if planting is attempted it
’ should be of a type that will tie
|in with the native shrubbery,
| Owens =2ii. The most important
| thing at present, he concludeéd, is
{ to slope these steep sides.
