Populist Legislation-
Tbe movement started by certain
so-called "reformers” in tbe Hoose of <
Representatives to reduce all oalaries i
end place every state and county office
on a "cheap John” basis, ia not likely 1
to meet with tbe endorsement of the
broad-minded people of Georgia
It ie, in tbe first place, a narrow <
1 policy, and one that would prove un« 1
successful and unsatisfactory from tbe <
start, should enough votes' be secured
to put it in operation. No sound bus
iness man will look to a "redaction of
salaries** to make ends meet under tbe
conditions whTch now prevail in Geor
gia. Something more radical, some
thing broader is needed Tbe few
thousand dollars that would be saved
to tbe state by sueh a plan of petty
retrenchment would be but a drop in
the bucket toward making up a deficit
and lowering taxes. It would be much
like a man whose expenses are greater
than bis income reducing bis cigar
bill and cutting the salaries of a few
employee, instead of going actively to
work to increase tbe revenue.
Tbe state has every opportunity to
increase its revenue and there is little
opportunity for a just or reasonable i
reduction of salaries or even of appro
priations. The bill now before tbe
bouse to create a board of tax assessors
in each county seems to us to be the
proper remedy for the conditions now
existing. Or, at least, it is one of the
remedies that should be applied.
It is notoriously true that a va»t
amount of property in Georgia escapes
' taxation altogether, while not ten per
1 cent of it pays taxes on a fair valua
tion. If a plan is found by which this
) property can be made to pay its just
■ share of tbe public burden, there will
be no need for retrenchment, no need
) to cut salaries and appropriations, but,
( on tbe contrary, there will be a surplus
in tbe state treasury.
As a business proposition, therefore*
it seems to us that tbe Legislature
| should first direct its attention to in
augurating a practical plan of this sort

Mrs. Langford Dead-
• Mrs. Jim Langford died last week at
■ her home about seven miles from
Thomaston. She was 87 years of age,
, and bad been in bad health for a long
time. About fifteen years ago rheuma
tism tendered her feet useless, and
since that time she has not walked a
, step. Mrs. Langford waa tbe largest
woman in Upson county. Her weight
waa somethin,; near 400 pounds, and
tbe undertaker waa unable to find a
ready made coffin in Thomaston or
Atlanta that waa wide and deep suffi
cient to hold her remaina. One had
to be made to order, and it was of such
tremendous size that (be men in
charge could not get it in the hearse
Thia explains why tbe body of this es
timable lady waa carried to the grave
, on a wagon.
'< Mrs. Langford was a widow, her
husband having died several years ago.
She leaves a number of children, none
of whom enjoy good health. Two of
her daughters are nearly as large as
she waa —Thomaston Times.

Under Sealed Orders-
"Don’t know,” said tbe stout man
on a Grand River avenue car tbe other
afternoon, when asked by a friend
where be was going that time of day,
relates tbe Detroit Free Press.
"Sailing under sealed orders. Here
they are,” as he often tatiously pro
duced a big white envelope, ornament
ed with a dab of wax as big as a silver
dollar. "See ? ‘Not to be opened until
you reach tbe Campus Martins.* Old
lady wrote it herself. Didn’t know I
bad so much curiosity. Seems to me
this car goes about a mile an hour,
and it makes more stope and longer
stops than ever before. Feel just like
getting out and walking on.”
At tbe campus tbe stout man jump
ed off before the car had stopped,
hurried to a lumber pile ia front of
tbe opera bouse site and leaned there
while he read. Hie florid face became
scarlet, his big right band crumpled
the envelope and crumpled tbe wax.
He dove into his left hand breast pock
et, brought out an addressed letter,
carried it to the nearest mail box, and
thrust tbe missive in. He switched
down Cadilac square and ordered a
seven-pound roast, got to tbe eastern
market by the shortest route, laid in a
supply of beets, cucumbers, strawber
ries, peas, onions, and new potatoes,
hustled back to town, telephoned a
family of friends that they were ex
pected to dinner the next day, left an
order at the ice cream factory, bad
some dainties sent from the grocer’s
and then beaded for home, looking
blacker than a thundercloud. He
tried to storm and appear abased, but
bis wife only laughed at him and re
called that it was the first time in his
life that be had gone down town and
done more than half what she had
told him to do. . _
