Every Gasolene Dispenser Be
comes Jdhnny-on-The-Spot
State Tax Collector—Million
Dollars For Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga.—Speaking of the
Georgia tax on gasoline, every time
you roll up to a filling station, a state
tax collector, in the person of the fel
low who draws the gasoline, takes an
extra cent per gallon away from you
right on the spot.
There’s no putting him off until
next December, when all other state
taxes are due, and then ever begging
for a little more time, until January
or February, perhaps; no sir, this is
one state tax you have to pay as you
go. Or before you go, as a matter of
fact—unless the old “Liz’’ will run
wiChout gas.
Ten, twenty or thirty cents a week,
as the case may he, for even the poor
est of us; depending, of course, upon
how much we have to “lliv.” And to
he sure ,a great deal more for the
costly auto class of folks—but the
average auto owner is not worrying
about them.
Our concern is for the “plain peo
ple” who have to get to and from
work in a flivver; carpenters, brick-
masons, painters, pressmen, printers
and others; and for the farmers who
must go to town and back some way,
mustn’t they?
The new gasoline tax, of one cent
per gallon—about 5 cents added to
every purchase—is going to add not
less than $5 or $10 to every flivver
owner's tax bill every year.
Think of it—having to dig up that
extra dime every time the old flivver
backs to a gasoline dispenser—and
then, say for yourselves how you are
going to like it.
Of course, there is, in a way, this
consolation about it—the “idle rich”
wiir have to pay this tax, too. And
more of it—because their tanks hold
more. And they ride more. And then
high-powered cars consume more gas,
* wit hthat five per cent tax added.
All, all, must pay, and keep on pay
ing; pay every day or Jwo, week after
week, month after month—to put a
million more dollars into the state
treasury. That's what!

CONGRESSMAN HEFLIN
\SAYS HOLD COTTON
FOR 20 CENTS POUND
“Don’t sell yoQr goods until you get
your price.”
This advice was speeding oyer the
country today to farmers from mem
bers of the Senate and the House as
the result of the Senate approval of
the administration’s farm credits bill.
“Hold your cotton for a price of 20
cents a pound,” was one message
broadcasted ove*fthe Southern states.
It was supplemented by a message
sent out by Representative Thomas
Heflin, of Alabama, who several
months ago advised farmers to hold
cotton when it was selling for about
20 cents. He again urged farmers, to
hold.
“There is every erason now why
cotton should speedily go 16 20 cents/’
said Mr. Heflin. “The* farmer is en
titled to receive that price and he can’t
afford to sell for less. 1 want to see
farmers, merchants and bankers stand
together for a higher price.”
Western senators appealed to by
constituents on the credits bill were
similarly advised. The effect will soon
be a much higher tone in the agricul
tural world, Senators predict.

HABIT IKES
HIT IH ATLANTA
Conductors and Passengers
Now Exchange Greetings and
Many Faces are Wreathed in
Smiles.
Atlanta, Ga.—In order to boost the
“Good Morning” habit, each street car
in Atlanta has just been fitted with
two card holders, in which is inserted
tho names of the conductor and the
motorman on that car, so that his cus
tomers may become familiar with his
name and address him by it.
It is always pleasant to do business
with one’s friends and to lend a per
sonal touch to each transaction. The
men who opearte the cars, it is point
ed out, have business contracts with
the most varied people of any sales
men in town. Bankers, draymen, ste
nographers and golf champions all
pay their nickels and pennies each day
to street car conductors.
The conductors and motormen know
the names of their regular riders. The
cards are inserted in the cars, it is
stated, so the people who ride may in
turn know the names of the men who
take their money.
Frank Lee Butler, manager of the
railway department of the Georgia
Railway and Power Company, in tell
ing his men about the new idea, sug
gested that they make it their prac
tice to speak to each and every pas
senger in a pleasant manner and with
a smile as they board the car. Should
it be in the morning, say good-morn
ing to them. If it happens to be af
ternoon or evening, say “good-even
ing.” They were given to understand
that tihs was not an order but was
given them as a suggestion to improve
and raise the standard of street - car
work.
“Some may feel at first that this is
a strange innovation, but the public
will like it, and will, in time, address
you by name,” said Mr. Butler. “This
will make your daily work more pleas
ant, and will make both of you h&p*.
pier in the business of life.”
That the “Good Mornin’ ” habit is
taking in Atlanta and everybody likes
it is strongly attested by the smiling
faces now seen on every side.
