PAGE TWO 1 FOREIGN STUDENTS wm PAY ON INCOME Germans Levy Assessment on All Residents, Germans and Foreigners Alike BERLIN, July 11.—Severn! thousand foreign students in Ger many, among them many Ameri cans, were stunned recently w'hen the government let it be known that students were not exempt form paying the ten per cent income tax which is imposed upon Germans ami foreigners alike. The students contend that it was always under stood among them that fs their in comes were derived from private sources, and not from any busi ness carried on within Germany, the government had no intention of tax ing them in any form whatsoever. The question came to a head re cently when an American, who had been studying in Dresden for two years, applied for a vise on his pass port which would permit him to leave Germany. The vise.was re fused on th</ ground that the stu dent could show no receipt indicat ing that he had paid a tax on the income derived from his folks at. home. An appeal was made to tho United States consular officials, but they were unable to aid him in his -«/■ dicament. A Other Americans in Berlin, Heid elberg and other university towns, since have also taken the matter up with tiie United States consular of ficials', contending that as they were under the impression that they would not have to pay the income taxes here they had spent the mon ey from home as fast as it came and as they have no reserve funds on hand to pay the German government the amounts they demand, they are at a loss now what step to take next It is estimated that there are an proximately 400 American students here who have been attending the predicament.

Anderson, of the Macon Telegraph, are we to continue to dump our surplus into the creeks and purchase millions of dollars worth of fruit by-products from California, in the following: Two men with a truck load of peaches at the corner of the Fourth National Bank yesterday afternoon tild me that what peaches they didn’t sell were dumped into Echeconnee Creek on their return home at night, and that the peach-grovers in the Walden section hauled their over ripes and rejects to the creek ev ery night—that it looked like they were trying to stop it up. In about two months from now the first carload of peach pulp will arrive from California, foe sale in Georgia, to make peach pies during this Winter for us fools to eat. We are prodiga’. with the blessings nature bestows . upon us while they last, and when they give out we turn to some other State for our supply California cans one hundred and ninety millions dollars worth of products annually, and Georgia cans a half million dollars worth. We prefer to dump our surplus into the creeks. There is more room for Geor gia consumption of peaches in the fresh state than is now the case. Every chamber of commerce, ev ery civic club, including the wo > man’s clubs, ought to canvass the situation thooughly and see that every Georgia peach possible to 666 is a prescription for Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bil ious Fever. It kills the germs.

Hotel people are serving grapefruit and pineapple right now with tons oi Georgia peaches and cantaloupes rotting for lack of consumers. The pineapple comes from Cuba and Hawaii, and the grapefruit from California or Florida. Freight has to be paid enormous distances, cold storage has to be paid for a dozen commissions and profits —and yet there are ho tel men who are so dumb ana unpatriotic that they don’t give a darn about anything. They make up menus for their meals and through force of habit or some thing worse they just put on then' bills of fare what they have been putting on there —grapefruit and pineapple. The money they take from Georgians and send out. of the state for these things at this season of the year is nothing short of criminal—neglect. The dining cars in Florida serve grapefruit at 10c for a half in order to encourage and intro duce the consumption of grape fruit. Georgia hotels wants 30c to 40c for two pachos with i little cream. Macon is the center of the best agricultural section to be found in the world. Macon has a duty toward this agricultural section, and that is to provide facilities for preventing a glut on the mar ket of the various commodities and then'selling these things at such times and in such way as to bring a profit to the producer. Macon has to measure up to that responsibility or some other city will do it—things don’t just*hap pen any more. Men with vision make them happen. Have we th a necessary’ vision? If our peach growers will take the initiative now, they will find every 7 civic anr commercial organization ready, anxious and willing to aid them. Let’s go. BIG TRI UM PH fOB H BLOOD HD!

The final vote in approval of the resolution was 8 to 5. The committee also heard advo cates of an amendment which would allow counties and cities of the state where the county population is above a certain figure, to amalga mate the city and county govern ments if they desired. This meas ure was introduced by Representa tive Ben Fowler, of Bibb, on be half of Bibb county and the city I of Macon. Speaker W. Cecil Neill.- who represents Muscogee county, is, sponsoring a similar bill, on behalf of that county and the city of Co lumbus. After s’ome debate, the-, committee voted to empower tne chairman to name a sub-committee to draft a bill which would incor porate the desired features. The chairman stated he would appoint this sub-committee later. The resolution of Representative Langley, one of the most important questions before the assembly this year, was considered after a motion to reduce the quorum of the com mittee from 15 to 12 had carried by 9 to 6. Representative Langley spoke vigorously on behalf of hi plan and argued that it would bene fit the state by reducing the num ber of political campaigns and by giving the governor and Other of ficers terms of sufficient length to carry out the policies upon which they were elected, without having to begin campaign for relection a few months after they go into of fice. The proposed amendment would make the governor ineligible for re-election . An amendment to a senate bill passed last year, requiring a man applying for a marriage lic ense to show a cetrificate of health, was voted by the house committee on hygiene and sanitation at a meeting held Thursday afternoon. The amendment substitutes the word “person” for the word ‘man” in the bill, thus making the health certificate provision apply to botn sexes.

Steps already have been taken to secure the island for the govern ment, and Mr. Mather says the genuine public spirit and the sincere interest in its preservaton shown by the principal owners and oth ers has guaranteed the creation of a great playground for the Ameri can people.
