His plat form opposed an income tax. Election of the county boards of education and the conversion of the state school fund into an “equalization school fund, so that the children of all counties may have the same oportunties,” are fa vored by Mr. Elders, according to his platform. Declaring that he is opposed to “any bond issue for roads or any other vurpose,” Mr. Elders stated “in rodabuilding we must pay as we go.” As to the courts, he says: “There should not be but three classes of courts, justice courts, superior courts and the supreme court. We must enlarge jurisdiction of our justice courts, abloish our city and county courts, and combine the court of appeals with the supreme court and have a. civil and crimin al division of the supreme court.” Mr. Elders’ platform, in full, was announced as follows: “Ninety per cent of our people must be relieved from tax burdens and Gorgia must have a better day, and our taxing system must be Mr. and Mrs. E.

To that end, I take my text: ‘Economy and tax re duction.” “Economy: Ebery useless job must be abolished; duplication by different departments of the state stopped, and every wasted dollar saved. The details of this program will be explained during the cam paign. “Taxation: The ad valorem tax of five mills for state purposes must be taken of our taxpayers. It is out of date. That will save five million dollars to our taxpayers. One-half of this can be supplied by a real inheritance tax, the only tax that cannot be passed on to the com sumer, and the other one half can be supplied by a luxury tax, a tax that cannot be passed on to the consumer. “The county tax must be limited, not to exceed fifteen mills, and this written into our constitution. “The city tax rate must be lim ited, not to exceed fifteen mills, and this written into our consti tution. “The tax levy for education should be by the county, and limit ed to just enough to run the schools when added to state aid. “The tax equalization law must be repealed. “The above tax program would stabilize our tax laws for this gen eration and bring relief to ninety per cent of our people, and cause untold millions to come into our state to develop our resources. This would cause Georgia to foltow North Carolina and regain her place as foremost state of the South. “I am opposed to an income tax, for it is not needed, and wealth needs a rest from taxation. “Education: I have stood for ten years, in the legislature, for all possible aid to education from the primary grade to the top of the uni versity, but the homes of the farm ers and laborers must not be sold even for taxes for education. “The state school fund should be converted into an equalization school fund, so that the children of Dawson county would have the same opportunities as those of Ful ton county. “The county board of education should be elected by the people, for they now have tax levying powers. “The county should be a unit of education and every child given the same opportunity in life, with at least one high school in every rural county in Georgia. “Public, roads: By next year we will be gifting eight milion dollars for building an mantaining our public roads and that is enough. “I am opposed to any bond issue W, ’'©ekl ' vaßt WU t * '■' - . vr J y ... .~. the red flag will not SPELL DISASTER IF YOU INSURE Fire insurance is the thing to be atended to now.

We must lift the tax burden off the poor man. I ‘Courts: There should 'no b? | but three classes of courts; Justice I Courts, superior courts and supreme court. We must enlarge the juris | diction of our justice courts, abolish our city and county courts, and combine the court of appeals with the supreme court and have a civil and criminal division of the su preme court. “I will not sign any appropria tion bill until I have approved the tax acts, and 1 will not sign tax acts unless tthey afford relief to oud suffering people. “I will stand for the rigid en forcement of all laws by the solemn judgment of orderly courts and not otherwise must any one attempt to execute the laws. “Freedom of speech of the press must be maintained at any cost. ‘No sect, faction, clique or clan should run the governor’s office.

Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness i Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beauti fully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec ipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an other application or two, your hair be comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
