THE BARTOW TRIBUWE THE CAE TERSVILLE NEWS, JULY 5, 1917
CLIFHIRU WALKER
SHOWS CLEAR SUITE
In view of newspaper criticism of
Hon. Clifford Walker, attorney-general
cl the State of Georgia, who is wcii
known to many citizens of Bartow
ccorty, relating to bis employment cl
a torreys to press he collection of !u
--het Banco taxes ns'.d to look aCe- ■!€
state'!- interests w’th referencj to es
aie-- subject to Inheritance taxes, the
following report made* to Governor
Ha us will be real with inte.e.t.
Since this report - has been made I
public it is said that certain legisla
tors who had intended to call for a
legislative investigation have conclud
ed since learning the facts that there
is no ground for such Investigation and
that, on the other hand, the attomr-.v
generai ghoul. 4 , be given broader p >w
tis for the eiup'o ment of attor- e>s
as well as the caring for the interests
of the state in other particulars.
Attorney-General Walker’s reimrt
follows:
To Governor Na: G Harris,
State Capitol
Dear Sir:
In re. Inheritance Taxes.
The Act of August Bth, 191 G, con
taining the following provision:
“It shall be the duty of the Attorney-
General to enforce the payment and
collection of all inheritance tax due
cr that may become due into the
state.”
I have the honor to submit my re-
I'crt to comply with the terms of this
law.
Careful (preliminary investigations
into the operation of the inheritance
tax law covering a .period of several
months convinced me that the pro
tection of the interests of the state
absolutely required a detailed exam- j
iuation into every estate administered j
within the four years since the pas
sage of the Act. I, therefore, associat
ed as good lawyers as I could secure
in each couaty for that purpose. Their
reports of file in this office and briefly
abstracted in this report conclusively
demonstrate the wisdom of this action.
1. Nineteen of the country counties
(those which do not include a large
city) report defaulting estates valued
at $2,555,000.00.
2. More than this number of such
counties have not yet reported. Many
of the smaller counties have few
wealthy citizens so it is Impossible to
estimate, but it is reasonable to ex
pect a large sum—perhaps the equal
of the amount first reported—from
the remaining country counties.
3. Through local counsel I am in
vestigating the status of three other
estates reported to me as probably
subject to the taxation and valued at
$3,500,000.00. In one of these the ques
tion of legal residence alone is in
volved. In another the question of
gifts made immediately before death
is at issue. In the third the question
of the oar w Ordinary’s certifi
cate is raised, 1 '"*• " '
4. It is in tuO city counties where
most wealthy citizens reside, and, of
course, from these counties the bulk
of the inheritance taxes should be col
lected, In Fulton, county, the most
populous and ■wealthy, I find that all
estates are being assessed arbitrarily
on a basis of 45 per cent, of the value.
This percentage is arrived at by fig
uring the inheritance tax according to
the system peculiar to this county in
figuring ordinary state property taxes
and is openly and frankly defended
as just. The state has no abler nor
more conscientious officials than Ful
ton’s, hut that they are mistaken in
judgment is shown by the wording of
the law when provides that all es
tates shall be assessed at “their actual
or market value.” It is manifestly un
fair that estates in Oglethorpe, Musco
gee and other counties should be as
WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses off With Fingers—
No Pain.
No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one’s
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
ly the soreness disappears and shortly
the corn or callus will loosen and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn’t eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or srfarting when applying it or
afterwards. If vour druggist don’t have
freezone have him order it for you.
(advt.)
sessed at full market value while es
tuies in some of the city counties are
assessed at less than half value. This
condition should be corrected as many
thousands of dollars annual income to
the state are involved.
5. While in Fulton the taxes are
j being collected upon a system which,
in my judgment, does not measure up
to the law, in Bibb county I am advis
j eu that there is no system at all. As
to the integrity an<l good faith of the
Bibb county officials the same could
be said of them as was said of the
Fulton officials, yet frankness forces
me to say that there seems to be no
business-like checking even of estates
actually administered. Estates by the
dozen have escaped taxation. Some of
the leading lawyers have been admin
istrators or executors of some of these
defaulting estates. It Is amazing to
! note the number of estates liable to
the 5 per cent tax which have not
been returned or assessed. Some of
these estates have been transferred to
persons in no way related to the de
ceased. The state has been deprived
of tax upon $5,000.00 each upon prac
tically every estate assessed through
a mistaken conception of the law it
self, an exemption called ‘‘legal ex
emption” being allowed over and
above the exemptions actually provid
ed by the law.
6. It will probably not be profitable
to extend this report further. My files
and correspondence are subject to in
spection if further detailed iiiforma
tion is desired. Most unfortunate lack
of system and uniformity character
izes the administration of this tax law
in practically all of the counties. I
haven't the slightest doubt that vigor
ous and efficient representation of the
state’s interests during the past four
years would have netted the state an
income from taxable values from
55,000,000.00 to $7,500,000.00. Likewise,
I believe that such representation to
gether with explanation of the terms
of the law and even publicity as to
the very existence of the law will al
most, if not quite, double the state’s
income from this tax in the future.
7. The able and honored author of
Georgia’s Inheritance Tax Law re?
minds me that no great contructlve
legislation was ever perfected In one
bill or In otxe year’s time. Indeed, as
was probably true in this case, it is
cften found that constructive legisla
tion can only be passed in incomplete
form. Under the present law it is quite
questionable if the state is not barred
from a ren edy or right of appeal after
the filing of the certificate of the Or
dinary, however incomplete may be
the inventory furnished him or how
ever misleading.his information as to
values. This being true, pending
amendments by the legislature, it has
proved porfitable to have the state rep
resented in the checking of inventories
and the fixing of values. For such ser
vices fair and equitable compensation,
based upon services actually rendered
the state, has been allowed. I have
conferred with the author of the bill
who fortunately is a prominent mem
ber of the present legislature and
amendments will be proposed strength
ening the bill, clearing up such of its
provisions as may be uncertain and
providing for better system and great
er uniformity in the payment and col
lection of the taxes.
Respectfully submitted,
CLIFFORD WALKER,
Attorney-General.

SAYS PHOSPHATES MAKE BEAU
TIFUL WOMEN AND STRONG,
HEALTHY, VIGOROUS, RO
BUST MEN.
Physicians all over the world are pre
scribing phosphates to build up run
down enemlc conditions and those
who have treated their patients
with Argo-Phosphate are *
changing thin, enemlc wo
men with toneless tissues,
flabby flesh, into the
most beautiful rojy
cheeked and plump
, round formed wo
men Imagin
able.
Atlanta, Ga. —Dr. Jacobson said in a
recent interview that 90 per cent of
enemia comes from nervous break
down which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates
to the nervoys system that is lacking
in the food you eat, and this can be
quickly supplied by taking one or two
5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after
each meal, and at bed time. It will in
many cases make a pale scrawney face
the picture of health in a few days, 1
have seen women that I expected
would have to be kept under treat
ment for months restored to perfeet
health in one or two weeks time.
SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-Phos
phate recommended by Dr. F. H.
Jacobson contains phosphates such as
are prescribed by leading physicians
throughout the worldi, and it will be
found the most effective form for
treating patients with Nervous Dys
pepsia, Stomach troubles, Brain Fag,
Nervous Prostration. It will renew
;• outhful vim and vigor, and build up
the whole body. If your druggist will
not supply you with Argo-Phosphate,
send SI.OO for two weeks treatment,
to Argo Laboratories, 10 Forsyth St.,

SWEETHEART LEFT ALL
ALONE IN CARTERSVILLE,
During these war times some sad
and pathetic scenes accompany the
leaving of the boys for the front, when
their sweethearts and others are left
behind. But these things don’t have
the same effect on all, that are left be
hind, as some give up their dear ones
willingly and cheerfully, while others
are left almost desolate. In, this very
unusual and peculiar case the sweet
heart was left all alone, being separ
ated from all former companions ex
cept one other sweetheart cousin, and
the two confined only to one house in
Cartersville, with no other close or
congenial companions. In such cases
the victims usually have the sympathy
of acquaintances, (but in this case
many people are rejoicing over their
loneliness, as they expect to derive
pecuniary benefit from it since all
things have advanced so in price, and
by reason of these two lonely occu
pants, they can go to the house of
their abode and get this Sweetheart
soap and Sweetheart Talcum powders
for five cents at store, the
only place in town where they can
get it, and the only soap and powders
pve<n In that store at sc, which leaves
them all alone in the 5 cent list Many
other items not sweethearts, are still
found in this store on the 5c list and
many at old prices not found else
where. You can still get six spools of
Coats thread for 25c and Coats and
O. N. T. mercerized crochet cotton at
10c a ball, and 6 spools of Coats and
O. N. T. silk finish crochet cotton for
25c. While calico has goue to eleven
cents a yard, Hardaway will sell it a
few days longer at 8c a yard, and the
present price, 75c and $1.25 Jackson
corsets at 50c and- SI.OO each and just
got in 75 dozen pieces of crockery in
seconds at about 50c on the dollar and
many items in dry goods, notions and
household goods at less than else
