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.

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., Atlanta, Ga. —(advt.) 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.
