I could f.nd a crack I might have dropped nanre of the State Sanitarium; the salaries of State officials ; the expenses of the State University and its branches, and obligations which the State has to meet under appropriations for 1910. The other "school of thought” holds the view that the 1910 appropriations are liabilities which must be met out of the tax money now being collected, *. • ime h and hoar the wild bees , . .. . . . , . . . nr . , and all of which is due by Dec. 20, al- Mi, anr) you tin bet that I'd ‘ though it is not all paid into the Treas- knife I lout the rr.it i ever j ury until April 1, the Tax Collectors having until that time to make their final returns. The situation then is this : Tf Geor gia has no obligations to meet in 1010 out of the income collected in 1909, the Treasury will be nearly $2,000,000 ahead: if it must meet these ohliga-j tions out of this income, then Mr. Rich ardson’s statement of a shortage ap proximating $728,000 will come pretty near being correct. As stated, whether the taxes collect ed this year are for the expenses of ; this year, or in part for those of 1910, j ! it is still a fact that a large portion of I the expenses of next year will be paid j | out of them, as has been done for the i last thirty years or more, j If the law is one thing and the facts of the situation another, then both sides may he somewhere near right: but if they coincide, then somebody has made a blunder. Reference to the past history of the matter does not throw much light on it. Sometimes the tax act for a particular year has been approved within that year; at other times the year before. But, as stated, whatever the custom or history of the matter, it is undoubtedly true that the taxes collected in any particular year are used, with the ex ception of the money due the school Lknif.- r had! STATE TREASURY DEFICIT. A ’Junta Cor. Columb i Enquirer-Sun. Atlanta, Gn., Oct. l(i.—A semi-politi cal discussion of the State Treasury situation has been in progress all this week, the chief feature of which lias been former Gov. Hoke Smith’s con troversy with Expert Accountant Alon- r.o Richardson as to the accuracy of the latter’s conclusion that the State faces a deficit of $728,000 on Jan. 1, 1910. Gov. Brown has remained out of the controversy. lie very wisely employed for the purpose of investigating and ascertaining the condition of the Treas ury the same expert accountant that was employed by Gov. Smith to audit I te a C hers! to pay the appropriations of the department upon the death of for- j the f 0 n 0VV j nK year mer State Treasurer Bark, prior to the | The achool teachera 0 f Georiga are thus carrying a great burden for the State, and, as a matter of fact, there is where the real deficit in the Treasury appointment by him of the present State Treasurer, J. Pope Brown, And upon Mr. Richardson’s statement Gov. Brown stands. “There it is,” says Gov. Brown, re ferring to the expert’s report whenever questioned about the matter. "The report speaks for itself. 1 employed to make this report the same accountants as were employed by my predecessor. That is all 1 have to say.” To the partisan charge made that ATonzo Richardson made to Gov. Brown, approximately a month ago, a statement showing that the State Treasury would have aboyt $2,000,000 to the good on Jan. 1, Gov. Brown makes no answer; neither does Mr. Richardson. "I stand upon my report as pub lished,’’ says Mr. Richardson. "I chal lenge successful refutation of any statement or of any figure in it; not | one of them can ho disproved.” And so it goes, with the prospect that the controversy will continue into chw State campaign of next year. It is possible that the difference between | the two "schools of thought” as to the real condition of the State Treasury may grow out of different views as to tip' application of the State’s income. Treasurer Pope Brown, who repre sents the Hoke Smith “school of thought,” stated in a speech at Car rollton the other day that if Georgia were to go out of business on Jan. 1, and wind up her affairs, collecting all that was due and paying all her obliga tions which hail matured at that time, Hie State would he approximately $2,- 000,OOt) to the good. In making this statement it is evi dent that Mr. Brown considers that the comes in. On Jan. 1 next they will be due about $1,250,000 for services ren dered during the summer and fall months of the present year. But it could not he paid because the State did not have the money. The common school system of the State was established in 1870. The schools were opened and the teachers employed, although no provision was made to pay them. The public school system at that time cost about $200,- 000 a year, as compared with $2,250,- 000 to-day. Right then and there the State got behind. It began to pay the teachers the year after they had ren dered service, and has continued to do i so, in part, ever since. From year to year the school fund has increased, and while the State was able to pay part of it when it was due, the greater part of the debt has been carried over into the next year. It is this situation that the Legisla ture is called upon to remedy, and it can only do so by supplementing the State’s income from one source or an other to an extent sufficient to meet the emergency. Whether it shall be done by a bond issue, by suspension of the sinking fund payments in the re tirement of State bonds, or by increas ing the Governor’s power to borrow money, is a matter for the Legislature to decide. But that it should be done without further delay, practically ev erybody in Georgia is agreed, no mat ter which side of the Treasury contro versy they are taking. C. R. Huger, the jeweler, 1060 Vir- taxes and other income collected up to I ginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: Jan. 1, 1910, are subject only to the ‘‘I was so weak from kidney trouble State’s indebtedness prior to that that l could hardly walk a hundred feet, time, or for 1909.

News from Chicago is printed this morning to the effect that the ne groes, of whom there is a large colony in that city, are eo prosperous that they are invading tne best residence j districts with their homes, and are crowding their children into schools which were hitherto only attended by whites. Education will never give the ne- J groes the social position they crave, i This is an age when material wealth is the only passport to social advance- J ment, and if negroes can get so rich in j the most aristocratic white residential j districts, and force themselves into so cial recognition, nothing in the way of j law can prevent it. Of course, there is no such advance- ] ment for the shiftless, propertyless negroes, but those of them who are able to accumulate wealth in the North- j ern States should all go there, as j doubtless they will, and seek social recognition by the whites. For much more than a century North ern statesmen. Northern philanthro pists, Northern divines and Northern newspapers have been teaching the ne groes that they should he on the same social level with the whites, and after waging a bloody and terrible war to demonstrate the fact, were able finally to incorporate that declaration of equality into the National Constitution, and it is upon that Constitution that they are demanding social equality. As they cannot get such recognition in the South, it is natural that the ne groes should turn Northward to the people who gave them the guarantee. They are going into the Northern States in a steady stream, and the fact that they are attaining great prosperi ty there will carry off constantly in creasing numbers. The negroes are migrating to the Northern States un der the operation of powerful political and social influences, and it is going to be demonstrated by the next census that the movement has been very much greater than is imagined. The dispersion and distribution of great numbers of the Southern negroes through Northern States will be the solution of the race problem, quietly and peaceably attained. The old-time negroes had their best and truest friends among the whites in the Southern States, but the new ne groes, whose aspirations and ambitions are for social recognition by the white people, must go to the Northern States, where alone in this country they can hope and expect to realize it.
