GEORGIA DAIRYMEH COMVEHE.

Macon December 22 23.
The filth annual meeting ol tbe
Georgia Dairymen’s Aeeocialion will
bo bold in the city of Macon December
22d and 23d. The annual meetings
heretofore held have been very sue
ceesfal, both in point of attendance
and in intereat. A varied and inter*
eatffig programme will be presented,
several experienced, praetical dairy
men having been engaged to deliver
addressee and papers on tbe occasion.
The following circular letter baa
been issued by Secretary Duggan :
“Arrangements have bein made
with the Central of Georgia, the Geor
gia Southern and Florida, the Georgia
and the Southern railway to furnish
free transportation over any el their
lines in Georgia t J all members attend
Ing the above meeting.
“In order to secure these passes it
will be necessary for you to make ap
plication at once to the secretary,
stating clearly which station on either
of these lines you want tickets from,
over which road you go, and accom
pany your application for pass with
your annual membership fee of $1
“II you do not live immediately on
either of these roads, or tbeir branches
elate tbe nearest station on them that
you can start from.
“Passes will only be furnished to
members who comply with tbe above
If you know of any one else, male or
female, who is directly interested in
dairying or stock raising, urge them
to send in their application for mem
bership.
* This will be tbe best meeting tbe
association has yet held, and we hope
to have you with us. If ever there
was a time when Georgia farmers
should look for more profitable indus
tries than raising cotton surely it is
upon us. At this meeting many prac
tical farmers who live on their farms
will tell ua how dairying is profitable
to them—and may become so to you.

A Doubtful Experiment
It is reported that Speaker Little
says that his tax bill, when perfected)
will provide that railroad companies
bolding charters from this state will
be held responsible for the payment of
taxes on their outstanding bonds —
that is, on those of tbeir bonds held
by residents of the state. It would be
interesting to know how it is possible
for a railroad company to know wheth
er its bonds are held by residents or
non-residents. Bond of railroads are,
as a rule, coupon bonds, and are trans
ferred just as bank notes are. If two
thirds of the bonds of a Georgia rail
road were held in Ibis state it would
not be possible for tbe railroad com
pany to know the fact with certainty,
because the holders of tbe bonds could
have tbe coupons paid through banks
’ or brokers ol New York. Tbe railroads
do not know who hold tbeir bonds,
and the coupons do not show who the
owners of them are. Besides, the
coupons could readily be fold io per
sons outsidejjf tbe state.
Mr. Little is quoted as saying that
he has studied tbe tax laws of many
of the states. It is pretty certain that
he has found that in many of them
the tax rate on securities is very
much lower than that on real estate.
Tbe constitution of this state permit ß
a low rate of taxation on securities,
the opinion of the Supremo Court to
tbe contrary notwithstanding. If Mr.
Little wants to get about all of the
securities in tbe state that are subject
to taxation, on tbe tax books, he
should provide in his bill a low tax
rate on securities. It would pay the
state to do so.
The Governor is wise enough to see
that the present rate of taxation is
driving capital and securities out of
the state, and he calls attention to tbe
fact in his message in which be deals
with the subject of reducing appropri
ations. Mr. Little and some others
think that there is a vast amount of
securities in tbe state which escape
taxation. Tbe Governor does not
agree with them. The chances are
the governor is right. No matter
what sort of a drag net is invented,
tbe state will not get many more se
curities for taxation than it gets now.
People will put their securities outside
of the state before they will give from
half to two thirds of their entite in*
comes to tbe state. In enacting a
tax reform measure tbe legislature
should take this fact into considera
tion.—Savannah News . , e
