THURSDAY, JUNE 16. 1921. THE TAX PAYERS OF GEORGIA WILL NOT STAND FOR IT The Times is in receipt of ennv of a proposed nmendmetnt to the Consti tution of Georgia, which is so outru gi*ous in its provisions that it is hard to conceive that any reputable repre sentative should be willing to intro duce it in the legislature, either branch; but they will, for all men do not see alike and it is well that we do not. This proposed amendment provides for the creation of u commission and heaven knows that already we have too many of them) to be known a sthe “Hydro Electric l’ower Commission,” with authority, by and with the ap proval of the Governor to incur debt in the name of the State, for the pur pose of purchasing, leasing or con structing, operating and maintaining public utilities, such us water works, street railways and plants for the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric or other light, heut and power, and transmission lines, or other means lor the transmission, dis tribution and sale of light, heat und power however generated. It is prooposed to amend section 3, article 7, of the constitution by adding the following words, namely: "Paragraph 2. Provided that the General Assembly may by law create a Commission to Ik* known us the ‘Hydro Electric Power Commission of Georgia’ and authorize said Commis sion to purchase by condemnation or negotiation, lease or construct, and maintain and operate public utilities such as water works, street railways, plants for the generation, transmis sion and sale of electric or other light, heat and power, and transmission lines or other means for th ( . distribution and sale of light, heat and power however generated, and for this urpose the Gen eral Assembly may authorize said Com mission by and with the approval of the Governor of tin* State to incur debt in the name of the State, said debt or debts so incurred to be for such sums and, if secured to be secuml after such manner, and to Ik* paid principal and interest at such times and such places and from such sources and upon such terms ns the General Assembly may prescribes.” When the loyal and patriotic sons of Georgia had thrown off the carpet regime that afflicted and burdened the state after the close of the war, led by such men as Gen. Robert Toombs and many others of the state's wisest and best men, a convention assembled in Atlanta 1877 and framed a consti tution noted for the wisdom of its pro visions, especially those safe guarding the p*ople against burdensome and un just taxation. These men had borne and groaned under the burdens of tax ation put upon them by ignorant, vi cious and corrupt officials as few peo ple e ver before hud borne. They knew what licensed corruption could do, what it had done from 1805 to 1875 and they determined to safe guard their children for all times against unscrupulous men and unnecessary debt, by providing against it and engrafting these provis ions, in the fundamental laws of the state. This constitution lias stood the test of nearly the half a century and under its wise provisions Georgia lias pros pered as few other states have prosper ed. Let us continue in the path that their wisdom, directed by experience, chose for ns: We know that it is safe. .—Eitorinl from Carroll County Times, June 2, 1921. Advt.

The follow lug .caption and squib oc curred in a Colorado paper late in 1919: “Girl Smoking Cigarette Gives Officer a Shock.” Denver, Col., Dec. 14. —Can a girl take u deep inhalation from a cigar ette, toss it on the pavement, stamp out the tire with the French heel of a shoe that looks like one of those sl2 a pair kind, and do it all without violating any of the varied statutes on the books of Denver and Colorado? That’s what officer McDonald, who directs traffic at Fifteenth and Welton streets, wants to know, and he’s going to find out, by gum. if he has to go through all the le gal volumes of the city hall to do it. Officer McDonald saw a girl do just that thing and didn’t like it at all. He’s the sort of a man who believes woman’s place is in the home and the passing of the old-fashioned grandmother gives him a pang. In In connection with the above we received the following epistle: “On wun occashun, the undersined without a wush or an effort on his pnrt, discivered that a certain lady of high repute, and a notid writer, smoked her package of cigrets ur nite er about so; and that made the old fogy laff and wush he wuz a poet, though taint every man can be a poet, nor mor’n a sheep can be a goat. Jist to think of sieh er thing! A woman, a good woman too, and a leadin’ woman, flrin up her brane with cigrets while writin’! And the obi fogy said to hisself: “I’ll be blnmed ef I don’t try my hand at poetry wonst in life, ef it eostes me my repertation. Ho, under the Insplrashun of that ’ere informashun, he sot rite down at the fust opportunity and writ the foller ing poetry, sieh as it is; Hhe’s a tine Christian lady and a widder with regrets, Her hooks ar interistin’ but she smoke cigrets. Well, mini puff pipes and cigars, and choo, and bandy bets, An’ cuss an’ whittle boxes —they, too, smoke cigrets. It sturs Imaginashun, an’ drives ’way tryiu’ frets, While pennin’ her good, flxion—her whiffen cigrets. Hh.’ may not want the francti <e, l or l.upe up suffagets, Nor ape men's weak besetments, hut she smokes her cigrets. Femails ar more protected. :ho the sexes dance in sets, By church, home, state, than mails from cigrets. Don’t blame the double standard fer demerits an’ brevets — Men kno’ wiinin ar better, e’en tho some smoke cigrets. Most men ar rugged and some can t pay their debts While weeker vessuls rite and clerk and puff cigrets. Mean men look down on womanhood; Weak men make them pets; Good wimen teach them bettur by de nouncin cigrets. The gurls drink Koki Coly and spends up all she gets, The yutli waists cash on folly and kills branes with cigrets. They keep up lierbilities and ne'er get true assets, 'Cnze the dope is her mastur, an’ he serves his cigrets. Ef these two shuld git married, alwaze blonds with broonettes, Hi* runs civieks an’ bizness, she keep house an’ not betts). Their home tilled with chilluns, all nuns an’ none triplettes. Love, wurk. cash, clothes fur each won, but nun fer cigrets. Thar sure would be better times, more virtue, less regrets. Than thar would be if all our wimmen smoked cigrets. Rustiek Fogy.

Money to burn and almost as easy to get as if it actually “grew on trees.” The scene has changed and the trees have ceased to bear fruit —very few have any ready money. Only the ones who set aside some of the easy money on a Savings * account are at ease now. Have we learned the lesson that no matter how plen tifully we may be supplied and no matter how easy the fruit may be gathered some of it should be preserved and laid away for the cold days when nothing can be produced. The time to preserve and prepare for such days is now. A small part of your earnings placed on Savings account will not be missed and will always be at your call in times of distress. Join our army of satisfied Savings Depositors and be prepared with a reserve when an emergency arises. Interest will be paid on all our deposits July Ist.
