WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1023 .m raw IS FAVOREB NO* US IIIHIIIIB Idol of South German Public, He Is Called Peace Loving Man FASCISTI FAVORS PRINCE Mc«archistic Papers Hail Him As King and His Health Is Widely Pledged MUNICH, November 21. (By Associated Press) —Former Crown Prince Rupprecht is tne chief rea son why there will not a? any hur ried attempt to re-establish mon archical rule in Bavaria while all of the rest of the German republic is still Under democratic rule. All the Hitlers and Von Kahrs who can be assembled in Munich apparently cannot induce Rup precht to make a trial for the re storation of the Bavarian throne. Ke has no desire to repeat the per formance of his late ex-Emperor Karl in Hungary. Rupprecht is a loyal Witties- j bach and would like to see the mon- I ai'chy re-established in Bavaria if | he thought there could be any perm : anency to such a restoration. But he has learned a lot about European politics in the 54 years of his life. He had a good record in the war, and came through it pretty well convinced that the days of the Hohenzollerns were number ed. His first wife was a sister of the present queen of Belgium. After i her death he became engaged to Princess Charlotte, of Luxemburg. But that engagement was cancelleu before she succeeded her deposed sister as grand duchess. Rup precht afterward married the youngersister of Grand Duchess Charlotte, the Princess Antonia. But his experience in his mili tary campaign in Belgium and Luxemburg and the international complications which speedily arose when there was, a prospect that’ the ex-crown prince of Bavaria was likely to become the husband of the ruling monarch of little Luxem burg gave him a pretty definite idea how the entente powers feel about the restoration of deposed Monarchs of the central powers to their old strongholds. Then Rupprecht, though a sol dier, is actually a peace loving min. He enjoys living quietly, and is/ not at all fond of display and excite* ment. Rupprecht is the idol of the Bavarian public. Even the anti mcnarchists have little to say against him. There is no other prince who can replace him in the affections of the Bavarian people. He has two sens, one o 4 21, and another several years younger, and Hall’s Catarrh Medicine Those who are in a “run down" condi tion will notice that Catarrh bothers them much more than when they are in good health. This fact proves that while Catarrh is a local disease, it is greatly influenced by constitutional conditions.

Politicians sputter and threaten I all over Bavaria. Ambitious ones I who would like to head the cabinet! I coder Kink Rupprecht. Monarch ists papers always call him king. He is hailed as king at political meetings. His "health is drunk as moarch of Bavaria the length and breadth of the effervescent state which has never been happy under Prussian control. Bavaria's unrest is not new. The Hohenzollerns were not liked. There are religious and tempera mental diferenees which _ make it impossible for Prussia and Bavaria to like each other. Under present conditions there are enough com munists and extreme socialists to make monarchical restoration ex tremely hazardous. Also there are enough of the eextreme liber als end radicals to make it hazard ous for the conservative elements to have splits into divers factions. The so-called Fascisiti elements stand with Prince Rupprecht and he stands with them. They have no other candidate for the throne try being a king on a little island anil he is too canny a politician to surrounded by an ocean of dem ocracy and standing under the shadow of unsettled reparations. France has spared no efforts to encourage monarchism or anything elsp in Bavaria which might tend to make the disruption of Germany Many Bavarian leaders have been attracted by propaganda for .an in dependent Bavaria. But Rupprecht very clearly does not forget the German Empire did very well un der the pirns outlined by Bis marck, end is in no hurry to be the first king to make an attempt to smash up the German reich.

GERMANS FAIL TO BUY OLD WARSHIPS ' ' HAMBURG, November 21.—(8y Associated Press).—America’s de cision not to sell any cast-off war ships to foreign buyers on the ground that such action would minimize war. has attracted much attention in Europe. Several Ger man firms made inquiries in Wash ington concerning battleships which were to be scrapped, as the vessels were desired by them for the iron and steel they contained. About States government was rrnounecd, it w-s learned here that several battleships upon which con struction began during the Czar's I regime, but which never were com ; pleted, had been sold by the Soviet ! ’ government to a British wrecking : concern to be used as scrap'• einil melted down.

It provides for exemptions of SI,OOO ior sngle persons, $2,000 for mart lied men and S4OO for each de pendent. It also provides that ad valorem taxes may be offset against the amount of income tax to be paid and vice versa. There is a companion senate bill which pro vides that, when the income tax amendment is ratified, the state rate on ad valorem property shall be reduced from 5 to 3 mills. The conrittee bill. No. 25 on the house calendar, and known as the W. R. Jones bill, provides for an amendment to the constitution em powering the legislature to impose an income tax lor state purposes not to exceed 5 per cent on net incomes. , . . , The attitude of the administra tion remains the same as it has been explained by Governor Walker ; ,-er since the session began. He sliii supports the recommendation* of the tax commission, as being the best available solution of the tax problem, but stands tn the attitude oI being always willing to accept the opinion of a majority of the general assembly as the best orking compromise on all sugges tions. He denier that my particu lar bill or program is the "admin istration bill,” or, vice versa, an “anti-admiinstration bill.” He is simply in the attitude of waiting for thedecision of the legislators as to what is fpr the best inter ests of the state, with sufficient conidenee in them to believe their final plan will be the best possible that can be worked out. The house committee 6n general agriculture number two held a meeting Tuesday afternoon on the bill introduced by Representative DeLaperriers, of Jackson county, to reduce the fertilizer tag tax from thirty cents to fifteen cents a ton. No action was taken w the meas ure, however, the committee ad- I journing to meet again subject to I the call of the chair. Would Reduce Fertilizer Tax The department of agriculture is opposing this bill on the ground that it means the abolition of the state bureau of markets by with drawing from jt all financial sup port. The DeLaperriere bill provides that the 15-cent tax on fertilizer shall go 10 cents to the depar ment and 5 cents to the state treas ury for the general fund. The de partment claims that it costs ap proximately all of_Jhe 10 cents per ton to make required fertilizer in spections, which would mean that there was nothing left for the sup i port of the bureau of markets. It j is further argued that the fertilizer ■ companies in fixing their price op. ! bag goods, do not add the Georgia tax by itself but ‘ takes the taxes imposed by a group of half a dozen southeastern states, averages them all. and adds the average to the ' price charged in all six states. Thus, ■ it is claimed, reduction of the tax would not mean rn equal reduction i in fertilizer cost to the Georgia farmers, but would mean an imma terial reduction, which farmers in adjoining states would enjoy equal ly, while the Georgia farmers would be the ones to really pay for the reduction by the loss of the bu reau of markets and its work for their benefit. McMichael Criticized. A stir was created Tuesday in the House when Representative De Laperriere rose to oppose a motion to adjourn subject to the call of the chair, on the ground that the chairman of the committee, Repre sentative McMichael, of Marion, $5,000 TO LOAN On Americus Residence Property Phone 830 rrwrc FI I .IS You Save the Difference When Buying at Bragg’s.

He , I said he did not mean this person- I ally. The motion, however, car ried and it is understood the com mittee will again take up consid eration of the bill Wednesday. When the income tax subject comes before the house today the Bussey bill will probably be the first to be debated. This is because i jt has been proposed as a substi ' tute for the Lankford bill, which I has the first call on the calendar. • The Bussey bill was the last sub- I stitute offered to the Lankford i measure, therefore, under the rules would be taken up first. Among other substitutes and amendments offered to the Lank ford bill was one by Elders, of Tatt nall, in the form of a substitute income tax bill exempting proper ty from state ad valorem taxation. Sales Tax Proposed. Representative Fowler, of Bibb, offers a stubstitute providing a sales tax as a state source of revenue. Representative Rowe, of Rich mond, has a substitute classifica tion tax measure. Representative Mann, of Glynn, presents an amendment to reduce the ad valorem tax rate from five . to four mills, instead of from five ! to three, as in the Lankford meas ure. Lindsay, of Wilkes, has an amendment which would make the exemption for mar ried men $5,000 instead of $2,500. New bills introduced in the house Tuesday' included a statutory in come tax measure ofered by Rep resentative Ellis, of Tift. His bill is based upon the belief that a constitutional amendment is not lecessary to impose a state income ax. It provides full details for the collection and enforcement of the tax, placing the responsibility in lhe office of the comptroller gen eral. Representative Covington, of Col quitt, introduced a bill which would amend the act creating the state public service commission so that the fees paid by public utility com panies would not be used for the maintenance of the commisison, but providing an appropriation of $50,- 000 from the state treasury for that purpose.
