A DANGEROUS PRESIDENT.
Mr. JoMph Pulltser. the editor and
owner of tha New York World, printed
n signed article In hie newspaper of
August 28, which la really a great con
tribution to the campaign literature.
He selected twenty-el* characteristic
passages from Theodore Koosevelt’e
writings and apeechea delivered since
1197 when he was assistant sec
retary of the navy. These present In a
most striking form the President's love
of war and his desire for a greet
army and navy; and also his
contempt for the “timid*' end the
••weaklings" who "cant" about pence.
These numerous quotations are filled
with the word* "weaklings," "cra
ven" and "timid." na applied to those
who do not adhere to hla "big stick"
theory.
We have known all Along that the
President had a contempt for the
"wenkllng and craven" jteople who pre
fer the ways of peaceful Industry, but
we were really surprised at tha num
ber of times, and the number of ways,
In which he stigmatised "mock human.
Jtnrlanlsm;" the "timidity" of thbse
• who cant about liberty and the con
cent of the governed;" about the "pence
which breeds timidity and sloth," and
"the weakling or coward who babbles
about peace."
As remarked by the New York Poet,
"the number of citation# In which the
President appears as blustering and
pw .1 rearing Is appalling. These, coupled
with the final threat to Central and
1, American republics that If they
•net with decency In Industrial and po-
lit lent matters,' keep order and pey ob-
ligations, and 'govern themaelvea well
and be prosperous and orderly,' the
»n*#d Tear no Interference from the
United States,' tnnke out a convincing
can. against Theodore Roosevelt as
war-lord of the Western Hemisphere."
A in In and again the President has
urged the creation of a great army and

New York 8,182 miles.
That Texas will soon lead the list Is
certain. The vast state has not nearly
been covered . by • railroads when the
utotde possibilities of the soli yet un
touched by the plow are taken Into
consideration. Not so very many years
ago It was believed that south Georgia
■oil was not adapted to the raising of
a variety of crops. It waa thought that
the land upon which the pine tree grew
would produce nothing else. That the
ory has been controverted and the mag
nificent development of that portion of
Georgia has been due to the confident
and wise men who put their money Into
g-nllrond enterprises In that section.
They laid their tlea and ipetal through
a wilderness. They were followed by
an army of lumbermen and turpentine
seekers. After them came the farm
ers who found that where once the
pine-sticks shadowed the uninviting
soil, peaches, strawberries, cotton, cat
tle and a thousand and one other things
could be produced. The development
la due to the railroad voynguers. If we
may uae auch a phrase; to men who
anticipated and biased the way.
Therefore, if so much could be ac
complished In the development of the
Georgia “barren," how much mare in
the wlde-atretchlng state of Texas! I
Is a merf question of proportion ao<
cording to * the area. Undoubtedly
Texna will soon have the greatest rail
road mileage In the United mates.
Benjamin Franklin, when In Krancp,
was asked about the American desert,
had, in hla travels, gone no farther
t than Philadelphia. With the
iclence of n sage In truth, he replied
promptly that the desert did not ex
ist. Time his proved his prophecy true.
Irrigation has reclaimed the depert and
whera there were once aun-blenched
plains, there are now thriving agricul
tural communities, that have been
placed, because of their population in
the sisterhood of the actual states.
The man who made the West, who
did more than any other to fulfill the
Franklin prophecy, waa no less a man
than Jefferson Davis. It was he who
proposed the transcontinental railroad
line. It Is he to whom should be given
the credit of populating the West
of obliterating "the border." He real
laed from actual knowledge that which
Franklin foresaw.
Texas has been a part of the United
States only about sixty years Her
area Is more than ten times that of
populous Italy. There Is no county In
the state that la not naturally produc
tive. By-and-by every county will be
crossed and recrossed by a railroad,
and the mileage of Illinois and Penn
sylvania combined will not equal that
of the Lone Star State. ,

Public Utilities
To the Editor of The Telegraph—
Hi nee Macon became an Incorporated
Ity It ?!«»■ I tailed several million dol->
lars worth of bonds for var
ious *nd sundry purposes. Out of all
iose millions It has only one
public utility. or thing. from
which the general public derive any
Income. That is the city market. Its
railroad stock and bonds are all gone.
In addition to this it has sold over a
million dollars worth of real estate,
from IU streets, it* reserve, and the
property that reverted to It from the
Confederate states government
Is It possible that after all these
years of experience It may decide to
Issue bonds for water works. It will
certainly be a great relief to the tax
payer when the proceeds from the
bonds. Issued upon his property shall
be Invested In something from
revenue enough can be raised a
to pay the Interest, and not given to
purpose from which certain Individ
uals or class, get all the benefits.
There Is nothing In tbe way, for
the city to issue a million dollars worth
of four per cent bonds, except the
consent of the people, one half of these
to be used only for the purpose of tak«
Ing up all othtr bonds, and the other
half to be used only for buying or
building A water works plant, some
thing this city ought to have done
long ago. The city tax digest calls for
sixteen million of property, seven
per cent of same la over one million. U
there la any doubt about thta, It would
be very easy to add two or three mil
lion of taxable property not now on th<
tax books. In protecting thoae who
have a right to vote upon an laaue of
bonds, why not provide that there shall
be no future Issue of bonds except for
the purjKiae of paying for property
which ahall belong to the city and can
not be disposed of without a vote of
the people? Why not take away from
the mayor and council the right to ex
empt any property from taxation'
The only way to settle valuations, be
tween the property owner and the city
assessors, should be by arbitration, and
according to state law. The city can
very Justly say to the present gns and
water company, "Unless you will take
half million of four per cent city
bonds for your plant this city
will build one of its own.'
The gns works can command
a fair price for electric lights, or be sold
and the proceeds Invested In Improve
ments to the water plant The 150.000
now paid annually to the bond com
mission can continue, <40.000 to pay the
Interest and 810,000 to bo paid into
sinking fund.
Thore la business sense In mortgag
Ing property to get money to buy more
property and most any mnn will je
sort to It. There Is no business sense
In mortgaging your property to get
money to loan to some other
loss. It seems the pleasure and the
time Is presented to you. Will you peo
ple of Macon take advantage of It?

AUGUST 25, 1904
Hon. Wm. A. Wright. Comptroller
General, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: I am
in receipt of your inquiry of even date.
'In which you request an official ruling I Thorough courso;
whether arbitrators selected to settle | free quizzes. Address
the question of value of property to
be returned for taxation have the right
to fix the value confessedly at 60 per
cent of its fair market value, based
upon the contention that other indiv
idual or corporate tax payers have In
certain Instances returned their prop
erty at half of Its value. This inquiry,
as I understand, has been provoked on
account of certain differences arising
between cotton mill or mills in the city
of Augusta and the tax receiver of
Richmond county.
On a former occasion this Identical
question was raised by the railroad
cdmpanles doing business In this state,
their contention being that they should
bo assessed only 60 per cent, for the
reason that individual tax payers paid
taxes on their property at that rate.
My official opinion then was, ns it Is
that arbitrators have no right to
fix the value at any qpch figure, but
that the law prescribes the rule by
which property should be returned for
taxntlon. vis. "at Its fair market value."
All property In thla state, both corpor
ate nnd Individual, should be returned,
nnd If not returned, assessed. In the
light of this rule. I do not understand
how there can be any question about
this proposition. The section of the
Code In plain language requires that
the tax payer shall return hts prop
erty at its fair market vnluo. The
oath prescribed for the tax payer re
cites that he has returned It at Its true
mnrket value, and It surpasses my
comprehension how any tax payer can
confessedly return his property at half
of Its value and Insist thnt he can
conscientiously take the oath that It
Is Its fair value, or Its true market
It must be confessed that there
In property, corporate and Individual,
returned for taxntlon In Georgia at Its
true market value, some of It nt half
of Its market value, and there la doubt
less a large per cent not returned at all,
nnd a tax payer could insist with as
much propriety since there is some
