FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 8, 1924 INCOME TAX ORGRE AGAIN W HEAD (Continued from Page One.) caucus which was held at the Kim ball House for the purpose of press ing to passage, if possible, some, form bf income tax bill before ad journment. The caucus delegated to a sub-committee the work of drafting ami perfecting a substi tute bill, which it is purposed, to offer for the Lankford Senate bill no\v on the House calendar, and from time to time as is needed, the caucus will be reconvened for per fecting strategic plans for handling the bill on the floor of the House. The sub-committee engaged in the preliminary work of drawing the proposed new bill is composed of Representatives Stovall, Elders, Harris, of Jefferson, McClure, Stewart and W. R. Jones. From the information gather< d, the proposition which will be sub mitted is in effect an entirely new plan for setting up an income tax system, and members who are inter ested express the belief that their plan will meet with agreement from the leaders in both the House and Senate, and will be put through. In substance, the proposed plan is to write the whole income tax sys- Silly ads r.J- c ' Pins like unwisely invested mon ey, are lost yearly in million.

Alto, Texas.—“We inherited the use of Black-Draught in our family,” says Mrs. Mary Shuptrine, who lives near here on R. F. D. 2. “My grandmother was an old woman when she died about ten years ago, and she had been using it literally ever since I can re member. She gave it to her children and grandchildren for biliousness and stomach complaints, so when I went to housekeeping we just naturally used it, too. “I give it to my children for a purgative whenever they need one, and we are never without it. Made into tea, it surely is fine. It’s the best home remedy for headache and consti pation I know of.” During over 80 years of its con tinued popularity, Black-Draught has become the standard liver medicine in many thousands of homes, where it has been found of g”eat benefit in the treatment of constipation, biliousness, indigestion and other common hver, stomach and bowel complaints, len million packages of Black-Draught are now sold a year, as more and more people are learning of the value oi this well-known remedy. , Insist on Thedford’s, the only genu ine Black-Draught powdered liver medicine At all dealers* i i tem into the constitution, and leave noth.ng to be linked in future statu tory or enabling legislation. The clause providing that the taxpayers shall be credited on his income tax with the amount of ad valorem he may pay, which was the feature Senator Lankford so persistently fought for last year as well as in the extra session, will be dropped entirely from the new bill. The purpose is to write directly into the consttution not only a direct income tax provision, but simultan eously to write off, in the consti tution, one half of the present ad valorem tax levy limit—in other words to put the ad valorem levy limit at 2 1-2 mills, instead of 5 as at present. Further it is planned to write into the constitution both the exceptions and the rates to be levied, and it is said to the concen sus of opinion among members of the caucus sub-committee that the exemptions should be made very low, certainly below $2,000 ’ and that the rates should be rapidly graduated upward, so as to place the heaviest burden of income tax on the people of larger incomes, and at the same time to so provide that as nearly all people of incomes as possible bear some the tax bur den. It is claimed that senate leaders have been conferred with and in the main this general plan is agree able to them, and they will, if the bdl is passed in the house, endeavor to get the senate to concur in the house substitute. The caucus plans also to bring pressure upon the rules committee to fix the income tax measure as the first special order of business for Monday next and to limit de bate on the bill to one hour on each side, which would insure the vote being taken before adjourn ment of the forenoon session.

B—The list of school books under the Yeomans law, recently passed m uie legisla ture, as well as the list of state adopted books, should be received by all superintendents of school during the first week of August, ac cording to State Superintednent of Schools N. H. Ballard. Further discussing this question, the following is given out by the State Superintendent: ‘ln other words, it gives whatever right any district may have under the Yoemans law to all districts which must conform to the Uniform law. By the enactment of the new law all boards of education are re quired to have on hand a sufficient supply of books five days before the opening of school. On all state adopted books there are two prices —wholesale and retail. The whole sale is the Yeomans price; the re tail is the state adopted price. Boards of Education must therefore conform to the Yeomans price. They buy from the publishers at whole sale and either they, themselves or through their authorize l agent, sell at note than 15 per cent above this, price “Take, for example, Evans First lessons in Georgia History—a state adopted book, the retail price oi which is 80 cents, and the wholesale price is 63 cents. Boards of Edu cation, or their authorized dealers would order this book from the pub. ” THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ’ lisher and it would be billed at 63 cents. Theey may resell it at not more than 72 cents. If the dealer dealer of the publisher is handling the book (and boards have a right to require them to have dealers in each county) he will order the book from the publisher who will bill it at 80 cents and deliver it freight prepaid, and at a discount of 10 per cent. This makes 72 cents the publisher’s dealer pays for the book and he cannot sell it for more than 80 cents. In other words, the pub 1 lisher’s dealer gives for the book practically the same price the board’s authorized dealer must sell it to the children at retail. The pub. lisher is also required to deliver free of all charge any book to any free of all charge any book to any one in the state at the retail price. “Since the prices of the newly adopted books are so very high and since the exchange prices are almost nothing, and since many commune ities would have great difficulty in supplying new books for their chil dren, I wish to suggest, not author ize, the adoption of the old books in such schools as the board and superintendent deem advisable on account of the difficulty in supply ing new books to all of the children of the school. At all hazards pro tect the people against these exor bitant prices for school books de manded by the publishers. Remem ber your responsibility is to the children of your county and not to the publishers of school books. ‘Be sure to have a sufficient sup ply of books on hand file days be fore the opening of school, regard less of which plan you may adopt. It would be well to order now.” Next to the water cooler and bath tub, the soda fountain is our most popular summer resort. TYSON LEADS SENATOR SHIELDS IN TENNESSEE MEMPHIS, Tenn., August 8.

The house committee on constitutional amendments Thursday afternoon voted to report favorably the bill by Senator Cason, of the first dis trict, providing for a state bond is sue of $15,000,000 to build a state owned port and warehouse termi nals at Savannah. The measure already has passed the senate. Representative New, of Laurens, vigorously opposed the bill before the house committee, declaring that the state was in no financial con dition to assume the obligations of a bond issue at this time. On the final vote the committee was tied, seven voting for the measure and seven against. Chair man W. R. Jones cast the deciding vote, making the result 8 to 7 in favor of the bill. EUROPEAN DAIRIES INCREASE EXPORTS WASHINGTON, August B.—Eu ropean dairies are beginning to win back the dairy markets they had before the war. The United States dairy farmer is gradually being pushed out of the field. This is the word brought back by rural economists who havo been studying the farming and mar keting situation in Europe. They expect the renewal of stiff competi tion by Russia and Denmark with the American dairy farmer. “Russia used to be the source of much of western Europe’s food,” explains R. F. Taber, extension specialist in rural economics at Ohio State University. ‘Last year '■'he had a material influence on the grain market. This year, judging by present indications, large quan tities of butter will reach western Europe from northern Russia and | PAGE FIVE Siberia. “In 1918 and 1919 we exported around 30,000,000 pounds of butter each year. Last year Denmark not only eliminated American butter from the English market, which took nearly half our export the plu vious year, but shipped enough but ter to the United States to have a real influence on the price Competition from Russian and Danish dairies can be expected for some time to come, h e adds.
