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?
