minds of some of the Republican lead

race problem thby are bringing on
this country with their proposed *a

Malays and .ths numerous mixed recon
of the islands. Wo have bad nearly
three hundred years’ experience with
the negro, who speaks the same lan
guage as we do and bao lived side by
side with us, yet it requires but little
to fan the flame of trouble between
the two races. A nice problem of race

are annexed and the natives suggest

Tho Only Way to Reduce Taxation
There is only one way in which tax
ation ean possibly be reduced inGeor
gia, and that is lor the state to spend
lees money. If a law is enacted where
by tbe tax dodger is made to return
hie property at correct figures, it will
in a measure diminish taxation, but it
cannot fully remedy the evil. Suppose,
for instance, a man returns his proper
ty for |IOO and pays one per cent,
taxation. He pays tbe state |l. Sup
pose be return* his taxes under the
proposed law fli S2OO and the tax rate
is ortMalf of one per cent. He pays
tbo state 91. Tbe reduction of tbe tax
rate would benefit those who give their
property in now at full vhlus, but
would benefit no others. The only
way to reduce tbo tax rate and with it
tbo amount of taxation is to out ap
propriations.
Wo commend Gov. Candler for his
message to the legislature end the leg

advice. We commend Mr. Brandon’s
bill to revise tbe pension laws so as to
provide that no veteran or Widow of a
veleran can secure a pension unless it
is demonstrated that it is necessary
for their actual support. The legislan
tore should pass a number of such bills
looking to a conservative and sensible
retrenchment in the expenditure of
the state.—Athens Banner.

Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the , c . om P** I
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars I
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:

How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in c “h» I
h’e did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilise any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, hut permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. ’Here are the particulars: I

Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings I
