M rDonough, Ga., Aug. 13, 1915. Our Dixie Highway. The Dixie Highway is certainly •rousing enthusiasm in many sec Sons. Not only that; it is actually fceiig built almost from one end of the route to the other. And the citizens are not leaving the matter to the various county authorities alone. They are or ganizing “county councils,” as they are called. These counci s •re branches of the main Dixie Highway Association. The main headquarters of the Association now publish a serni ■lonthly newspaper under the title of “The Dixie Highway.” This four page sheet gives news of the activity in highway build ing of the communities all along the route. In Florida alone one and ore half million dollars have been voted by counties along the pro posed Dixie Highway route for the improvement of the roads. Every week new county coun cils are being organized, and from every state comes the news of in creasing euthusiasm and actual construction. In the last issue of “The Dixie Highway” we counted sixteen news items from Georgia alone, telling of the work being done for the Dixie Highway in this State. But Henry county and the east ern route of the Dixie Highway between Atlanta and Macon find no mention in this publication. What has become of our Dixie Highway from McDonough to At lanta? Mr. W. S. Gilbreath, field secre tary of the Dixie Highway Asso ciation, is now making a tour over the entire route of the highway. He has started from Miami and ~vill soon reach Georgia. We cannot be ready to show lim the way through and trom IcDonough. All the hard work we did to se cure the highway will be lost un less we proceed at once to build the highway, as we promised to Jo. Can Our Government Care For Us. For many years a class of man ufacturers have grown rich on the government’s favor. This vas caused by the tariff. lai recent years classes of pec pie seeking government aid have multiplied enormously. For years and years the great shipping interests have been de manding as a matter of right a subsidy for the merchant marine. Our State government has not tscaped the pleas of these who mould secure from the nation or .state special privileges and im munities. It has always been clearly seen ary the observant that the wealth iest of our people are the worst Sax dodgers. And when it is even suggested that srme method should be devised of compelling them to disclose their taxable property so that it shall be taxed, they utter a great hue and cry ind say, “it will hurt business.” >f course it will hurt their busi ness. It will hurt it by taking arom their pockets what belongs to the public treasury. A year or two' ago our State amended the constitution by ex empting farmers from taxation on certain property. j Now the effort of many persons covering many years to secure the j exemption o, certain church school i property from taxation has almost succeeded. By a close vote it was defeated in the present legisla ture. But this same legislature has provided for the exemption of resident ship building interests from taxation. First, manufacturers exempted indirectly, by the tariff; next the farmers exempted directly; then an effort to exempt church schools directly; and now an exemption of shipbuilders. What exemption next? ’ Become a millionaire and secure an exemption of your millions; be an unfortunate laborer, with only enough personal property to fur ni ;h bed and board and you m s pay taxes to support the million aire in the possession of his mil -1 ons. When a few more classes of ex eruption are provided who will be left to pay the taxes? Now take the ship exemption. What tax-payers will it bene it that such tax payers should pay not only their own taxes but those of the ship concern also? For an exemption of any o e class or business from taxation means that the p otection and ser vice of government to thatexemp concern cost something and if the class or business does not pay the cost, then other tax payers do pay ! it. Are you, Mr. Taxpayer, willing to make a donation to the ship builders? PREPARE FOR THE HEAT. 4 Dr. Prather’s Aromatic Laxative is a remedy for Ladies and Children.
