MS The Dixie’s Aim,

When the proprietors of the Dixie decided to go into business
for themselves their intention was to make an honest S.ving.
m To be honest, they determined to give in every instance full
value received. To give that value they recognized the fact that
Xf.; nothing but abso'ute thoroughness in preparing students for their
life work could bring that result.
Ihcv determined to make their courses of study as thorough
as possible. and daily

gTV contact with business life of the community enabled them to judge
what was best in al! that pertains to shorthand, bookkeeping and
typewriting and they have chosen none but the very best, notwith

\[ They have been in the business college profession long enough

Nor do they desire that patronage which insists upon success

They do not advertise any six weeks systems of shorthand or

RAILROAD LEGISLATION AND
NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT
'Lsafing Measures That Will Oc
aopy Time of Georgia Leg
islators at the Coming
Session.
The 1007 session of the Georeu
lisislature, which convenes next
fc'idnesrlay, is looked to for legis
ti'oo of a more important and log-i
xii , nature t than has gone on fin thp tue >
f&i'crgia statute nooks within the l
yist two decades.
Thus far there has been but little
-ifecussiou of proposed legislation,
1_ E.J3T probably to the fact that most
icthe important matters which
lte- legislature will have to con
»ier were outlined in a general
in the platform adopted at
3&,con last September.
Sovernor-elect Iloke Smith and
number of members of the
feneral Assembly, who are in 1
his views, j i
ieany accord with are
Sard at work upon important bills!
•phich will be introduced in the j
•wly days of the session in order
toat they may have precedence matter! I
«,ver the vast amount of
which always accumulates during j
lSs fifty days. j
Perhaps the mo jt :mp< irtant of
Srese measures are the proposed j
jsulroad commission bill and the j
amendment to the CO nstitution
which will have for its object the j
Jisfranchixement thenn^iq. *
Legislation involving the Rail-i
aoad Commission, railroads atni
aiher public utility corporations in ;
Site state, it is said, wi!
most important with which the as-1
*emblv will have to de ai. It !
proposed to make the R;;
Commission purely a legislut’ve
body with penalties attached, prob¬
ably cumulative in their nature,
lu r failure to comply with such
laws as the commission may
St to enact relating to
rates, facilities and service.
Just what wifi be the future
the Railroad Commission itself, is
Hard to predict. Some think
effort will be made to legislate the
present body out of office, and to
provide for a new commission of
five members under a law more
clearly defining their duties and
powers, Others think that since
«« prov.s.on lor the election of
railroad commission by the people
has gone into effect, the commis-
8ion itsnlf will be left undisturbed,
and that lts . P° wers Wl11 be ,n ’
along the lines indicnted.
As to the disfianchisement ques
tion, it is the general belief that
some sort of a measure m the shape,
course, ot an amendment to the
constitution will be submitted to
the people, because, by an ever
whelming vote, they have pro
nounced in favor of it. It is ex
pected that the measuie will meet
with some strong opposition in the
House of Representatives, though
not sufficient to defeat it. It is
said that the proposed disfran
chisemeut bill has already been
drafted under the direction of Gov
ernor-eJect Smith, and Congress
man T. W. Hardwick of the Tenth
district who introduced and stren
uonsly advocated such a me sure
in two former legislatures, and
that it will b ; it f r »duced by repre

against barrooms in Atlanta and
other cities, and has announced its
purpose of making an open and
strenuous fight for state prohibi¬
tion,
The coming Legislature will
have to puss u general tax act and
general appropriations bill. It
will also have to d^al with the
problem of education, which is
presenting new phases and new
features every year. There is an
ever increasing demand for more
funds for educational purposes,
particularly tor the common school
system of the state. Although
Georgia now gives approximately
$2,000,000 annually to education,
this sum is regarded as being far
from sufficient to accomplish the
great work that is before the state
in this respect.
A recent action of the Comptrol¬
ler General in forcing up the tax
values of corporation property in
Georgia, in many instances more
than double the values of last year,
has served more than anything
else to call attention to the defect
in the state’s tax system under
which private property owners are
permitted to make such returns as
they see fit without regard to ac
tual value. One of the chief com
plaints of the corporations against
increasing their tax returns has
been that private property owners
in many cases return les 3 than one
fourth, often less than ore-eighth !
o. the niarki-t value of the*r prop
erty although ihe law says, f '.,, c j j
tux returns shall represent the true I
market value of I
the property re¬ ■
turned.
'■tith tin- requirements just now
* nng put upon the corporations
lat their i returns shall more
aialh approach the real value of
the property, it is expected that
e taken also t0 |
et jualize the returi IS of private !
property; either county boards ut i
tax assessors or through some j
other e< 1 ually clT c-l Jtive means. If
IU( n a movement as this is general
in its a fleet up-ju all classes of
P ro P«rty owners, there would, of
course, be no increase on each tax
payer. The increase of the volume
of taxable values would naturally
l>e followed by a decrease in the
general rate.
Many members of the Legisla¬
ture are looking for a highly in¬
teresting session. Besides, the
generul reform movements which
are al ways accompanied by more
or less excitement and interest,
there is a prospect of some lively
times growing out of the fact that
certain members both in the House
and Senate will seek to stand as
leaders of the administration.
So look for plenty of fun when
the Georgia solons get together.
