The following remarkable endorse
ment of Tanlac .was given recently
by Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd, at the
Gresham Memorial Home, Gavin
Park. Evansville, Ind., which home
was presented to her by the patriotic
people of Indiana, as evidence of
their appreciation of the services ren
. dered to his country by her son, Cor
poral James B. Gresham, the first
American soldier killed in France.
Expressions of sympathy were re
ceived by Mrs. Dodd from all parts
of the United States, and the news
papers of the country carried the
story of the first ‘war mother.’
The shock of her son's death re
sulted in the serious breakdown of
Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will
learn with interest and pleasure that
she is now in splendid health again.
When seen at her home recently she
made the following statement, giving
the entire credit for her recovery to
the well-known medicine, Tanlac.
“After my dear boy's death, I had
a general breakdown in health.’’ said
Mrs. Dodd. “At first it was just in
digestion. My food used to upset me
and I had to diet myself very care
fully, which wasn’t much hardship
as I lost all desire to eat. Then I
had an attack of rheumatism, with
severe pains in my shoulders, back
and arms. Sometimes I used to suf
fer a great deal, and my joints would
get all swollen up and stiff. I was
able to do very little about the house,
• and at times couldn’t even cook a
meal. I got very nervous and rest
less, and at night would lay awake
for hours, and lost many a night’s
sleep as a consequence.
“A friend of mine had received a
great deal of help from Tanlac, and
it was she who advised me to try it.
I am so glad I did for it proved the
best medicine I have ever taken. It
soon gave me a good appetite and
seemed to settle my stomach so that
I was no longer troubled with indi
gestion. I don’t know what.it is to
have rheumatic pains now, the swell
ing and stiffness has all gone out
of my joints and I am able to do
the work of the house with the great
est ease. My nerves are now’ steady
mid-strong, I sleep fine at night, and
I feel better in health than ever be
fore in my life. I shall always be
grateful for what Tanlac has done
for me, and shall recommend it ev
ery chance I get.”
Tanlac is sold by all leading drug
gists.
Is Your Blood
Starving For
Want of Iron?
Without Plenty of Iron In Your Blood
You Don’t Get the Strength and
Nourishment Out of the Food You Eal
When over-work, lack of sleep, improper
food and impure air sap the iron from your
blood and make you feel weak, nervous,
irritable and out-of-sorts, it is important
that you should at once put more iron into
your blood. Without iron the blood loses
the power to change food into living tissue
and therefore nothing that you eat does you
the proper amount of good because you
don’t get the full strength out of it. Your
food merely passes through your system
like corn through a mill with the rollers so
wide apart that the mill can’t grind. Be
cause of this steady starvation of the blood
and nerves people often become weakened,
tired-out, nervous and rundown and fre
quently develop all sorts of symptoms. But
the moment organic iron—Nuxated Iron—is
•upplied a multitude of dangerous symptoms
disappear in most cases, the flesh becomes
firmer, the muscles get back their strength
and the roses of health bloom in cheeks that
were pale and sickly looking.
No matter what other so-called remedies
you may have tried, if you are not strong,
vigorous, hearty and well, ”Ou owe it to
yourself to make the following test: See
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next, take
two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength again
and see for yourself how much you have
gained. You can ootain Nuxated Iron from
your dpuggist on the distinct understanding
that if you are not fully satisfied your
money will be refunded.

LEGISLATURE WILL
MEETWEDKSNY;
TREASURY EMPTY
An acute shortage of funds in the
state treasury will look the legis
lature squarely in the face when it
convenes next Wednesday, June 23.
for its annual session of fifty days.
For several years the state of Geo
gia has been kiting. Appropriations
have exceeded revenue, making it
necessary to borrow from future in
come to meet present bills. The kit
ing process has been carried to the
limit, and now the treasury is prac
tically empty with no funds in sight
On July 1 an interest payment of
$125,000 on the state’s bonded debt
will leave a balance of only SB,OOO.
During July the state will collect
from insurance companies about
$350,000. All of this and more will
be needed to paj’ current expenses
of departments and institutions for
the months of May and June. More
than $250,000 of payments due the
departments and institutions for the
I month of May are now held up. A
I similar amount will accumulate on
i the Ist of July. The whole collec
tions from insurance companies will
not be sufficient to cover the two
months. All of the revenue from ad
valorem taxes for 1919 has been col
lected and spent, and the governor's
current borrowing power of $500,-
000 has been exhausted.
The state is not bankrupt. It sim
ply is a year behind its expenses.
It has no reserve to tide over the
period between the spring and the
fall. This year’s appropriations are
$600,000 in excess of last year’s rev
enue, but the deficit will be covered
by increased tax values.
There is one source, and apparently
one alone, from which the legislature
can get some money to run the state
until ad valorem taxes begin to be
collected in the fall. It is the fund
from motor vehicles licenses. By
a joint resolution the legislature
could direct that such an amount as
might be necessary should be drawn
by the governor from this fund
and replaced later from other rev
enues.
More Rovenu. Necessary
Os course, such a loan from the
motor vehicle fund, which is set
apart for state highway construc
tion, would be taken with trie dis
tinct proviso that it should be re
turned. Neither the • governor nor
any other friend of highway devel
opment would be in favor of taking
it away without returning it.
Just at present the motor vehicle
fund is temporarily idle on account
of the pending test of the constitu
tionality of the act imposing a li
cense upon motor vehicles and ap
propriating the receipts of the same
to highway construction. An effort
will be made to get a decision of the
case by the supreme court within a
short time after the legislature con
venes, so that the defect in the law,
if it should be found to be a fatal
defect, can be cured by amendment
while the legislature is in session.
Increased revenue is the only ul
timate and permanent solution of the
state’s financial difficulties, in the
opinion of Governor Dorsey, Chair
man Carswell, of the house appro
priation committee; Chairman Allen,
of the senate appropriation commit
tee; School Superintendent Brittain
and others who have made a study
of the subject.
The decreased buying power of a
dollar combined .with increased de
mands upon the institutions and de
partments of the state have more
than offset the comparatively small
increases in appropriations. School
teachers are paid less than day la
borers, and the schools are suffering
in consequence of good teachers leav
ing their profession and going into
other lines of work. Every institu
tion of higher elucation is packed to
capacity with a waiting line of ap
plicants who cannot be admitted. The
Georgia Normal and Industrial col
lege at Milledgeville, the Georgia
School of Technology in Atlanta, the
University of Georgia at Athens, the
College of Agriculture, the district
schools and all the rest are turn
ing away ambitious young men and
women who plead for admission.
Cry for Appropriations
Not only the institutions of learn
ing are met with increased and in
creasing demands, but all of the de
partments of the government like
wise. and the eleemosynary institu
tions like the saintarium for the in
sane at Milledgeville, the tuberculo
sis sanitarium at Alto and others.
An increasing population means in
creased demands upon the public
service.
Though values have increased sub
stantially from year to year, they
have not kept pace with increased
needs. To cut appropriations would
be to cut salaries of school teachers,
Cut the enrollment of institutions of
learning, cut the facilities of elee
mosynary institutions and cut the
service rendered by departments.
Such a policy is not considered and
cannot be considered, in the opinion
of the governor and legislative lead
ers, who maintain that Georgia as
the Empire State of the South must
keep in the forefront of the march
of progress.
Increased revenue, therefore, is the
only permanent solution of the
state’s financial problem. This can
be obtained by reorganizing the tax
system in such a manner as to make
all classes of property bear a just
proportion of the expenses of the
government, or by removing the con
stitutional limit on the state tax
rate. A variable tax rate, instead of
a tax rate limited to 5 mills, as at
present, w’ould enable the governor
and comptroller each year to raise
whatever revenue had been appro
prited by the legislature. It would
involve a simple calculation in per
centage applied to existing tax val- 1
ues. The larger the appropriations
made by the legislature, the higher
would be the tax rate. If the people
did not want to pay the cost of good
schools, good colleges and up-to-date
service in other departments, they
could at any time elect an economy
legislature pledged to retrenchment.
A variable tax rate would give the
taxpayers an exact thermometer on
legislative expenditures.
Highway Program
Highway legislation ranks with
finance in the order of its importance
upon the calendar of the 1920 session
of the general assembly. The high
way program consists of two parts.
Part 1 as passed in 1919 is tempor
arily halted by the test case of the
constitutionality of the motor vehicle
law. Part 1 consisted of the motor
vehicle law imposing a license upon
autos and trucks and appropriating
the receipts to the highway depart
ment, plus the law creating the high
way board and defining its powers.
The constitutionality of both laws
is involved in the-pending court case.
If the supreme court holds the laws
to be constitutional, the highway de
partment will go on functioning and
the legislature won’t have to cure
the defects by amendment. If the
court knocks out the laws, they will
have to be re-enacted by a roll call
vote, this being the point involved
in the test case.
Part 2 of the highway program
consists of a bill to amend the con
stitution so as to authorize a state
bond issue. The figure discussed
ranges from $40,000,000. Present
motor vehicle receipts aggregating
$1,700,000 are enough to pay the re
ceipts and sinking fund on a $4 0,-
' 000,000 bond issue, and the receipts
! will grow larger from year to year.
! Hence it is proposed to build the
I projected state highway- system in a
i lump, or practically in a lump, by
| means of a bond issue, so that the
present generation can enjoy its bene
fits in completed form, instead of
building it annually in piecemeal by
means of the annual motor vehicle
revenue. The highway sentiment is
strong throughout the state, and
there is every indication that the leg
islature will carry through the pro
gram in good shape without crip
pling amendments.

ATTEMPT ON LIFE
OF EX-KAISER IS
WIDELY RUMORED
DOORN, Holland. June 19. —An at
tempt against the life of former
Emperor William of Germany was
made at 5 o’clock Wednesday after
noon .according to persistent rumors
here.
Details of the reported attempt are
veiled in mystery, but it is asserted
that Wilhelm escaped without injury.
A villager, at first thought to be a
Belgian, but later identified as a
German, is said to have entered the
castle by the use of a false permit
and then tried to kill Count Hohen
zollern.
M. Pereboom, private secretary to
the former emperor, assured the As
sociated Press this morning that no
attack had been made on William
of Hohenzollern.
Dispatches received on Thursday
night, reported a Belgian, who suc-i
ceeded in gaining entrance to Doorn
Castle, the residence of the former
German Emperor, had attacked the
former emperor and wounded him in
the jaw. Since that time the report
has been current that an attack had
been made, but no confirmation of It
has been received. A Berlin dispatch
received Friday night stated a
newspaper at Baden had learned
“from a trustworthy source” that
Count Hohenzollern was critically
ill but there was no intimation his
condition the result of an attack
upon him.
Louisiana Dairymen
Face Federal Charges
NEW ORLEANS, La.. June 19.
Indictments were returned against
three big Louisiana dairymen by the
federal granit jury here today charg
ing them with conspiring to keep up
the price of milk.
I. S. West, of Baton Rouge, secre
tary of the Louisiana Dairymen’s as
sociation, is one of the men indicted.
The alleged offense is declared to
have taken place in Louisiana and
Mississippi which would make it an
interstate and therefore a federal
mat ter.
Atlantian Acquitted
Under Unwritten Law
CHICAGO, June 19. —The unwrit
ten law today won a “not guilty” ver
dict for John A. Chance, Atlanta, Ga ,
on trial here charged with murder.
Chance's brother-in-law, Harry Ro
chotto. also was freed. Chance a
soldier stationed at Fort Sheridan,
111., and Rochotte were charged with
murdering James Cavanaugh. They
pleaded that Cavanaugh brought the
penalty upon himself with his un
welome attentions to Rochotte’s sis
ter.
Spa Conference Is
Again Postponed
PARIS. June 19.—The conference
at Spa between representatives of
the allies and Germany, originally
set for June 21 and later potponed
to July 5, will not be held until July
10, according to the Echo de Paris
today. The difficulty German political
parties are having in forming a cab
inet is the reason given for the re
newed delay.
self in 1919 to be one of the most
constructive in the history of the
state. At that session it enacted
Part 1 of the highway program;
started Part 2 on the road to pas
sage; passed the Elders-Carswell
amendment to the constitution which
provides for a local school tax in
every county; revised and codified
the school laws of Georgia and
strengthened the compulsory educa
tion law; passed the act revising the
state banking laws and creating the
department of .banking; pasesd the
act creating a department of print
ing; and otherwise made a brilliant
record.
In the way of educational legisla
tion there is one other matter which
the educational leaders of the state
are urging the legislature to consider
at the coming session. County school
superintendents are elected now by
popular vote. School Superintendent
Brittain, backed by the educational
forces of the state, urges the passage
of a law providing for their election
by county boards of education with
out stipulation as to where they re
side. Superintendent Brittain in his
report to the legislature declares the
popular election of superintendents
is retarding the whole machinery of
common school education.
The legislature will meet at 11
o’clock Wednesday morning and run
for fifty calendar days. John N-
Holder, candidate for governor and
speaker of the house, will preside
over that body, while Sam L. Olive,
who presided over the state conven
tion in Atlanta May 18, will be back
at his post as presiding officer of
the senate. E. B. Moore will officiate
as clerk of the house and Major
Devereaux F. McClatchey as secre
tary of the senate.
G. 0. P. LEADER
PROMISES EARLY
TAX REDUCTION
WASHINGTON, June 19.—Hope
for an early reduction in taxes is
held out by Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, Republican leader of
the house, in a statement prepared
for the final Issue Monday of the
Congressional Record and made pub
lic tonight.
“We shall enter the new session
of congress in December and the new
congress in March,” said Mr. Mon
dell’s statement, “with the way
opened for a substantial reduction of
the tax burdens.”
The Republican leader in this state
ment made no prediction as to when
the lower taxes wmuld become effec
tive. but said reductions would not
be possible until after the close of
the fiscal year which begins next
month.
The proposed changes in the tax
laws also were not revealed by Mr.
Mondell, although he indicated bis
disapproval of the administration
program for the discard of the ex
cess profits levies. He contended that
such action at this time would mean
a “shifting of burdens from large
incomes and profits to the small and
normal incomes and profits.”
No hope for a return to pre-war
expenditures and appropriations was
expressed by the Republican leader,
although he predicted that for the
fiscal year beginning July 1,. 1921,
a reduction “by upward of a billion
dollars” would be effected, making
the annual government expenses ap
proximately $8,250,000,000. Fewer
government employes and smaller ap
propriations for the army and navy
were cited by Mr. Mondell as possi
bilities for reductions after July 1,
1921.
Mr. Mondell estimated that for the
fiscal year beginning next month
government revenues would exceed
expenses by at least $1,046,604,■ 20
unless “unusual expenditures are
incurred not contemplated _by
congress in the repent session,
when $4.273,395,280 was pro
vided for the year’s expenses. In
determining the surplus, Mr. Mondell
said he accepted the most conserva
tive estimate of revenues made by
the treasury' or a total of $0,420.-
000,000. - , .
The unbonded war debt was pia-ect
at $3,250,000,000 by Mr. Mondell, who
said it was a “continual menace,
but when reduced by the anticipated
surplus would bring the country
“within reaching distance of reduc
tions of the burdens of taxation.

Frederick Gimbel, of
New York, Is Arrested
On Profiteering Charge
NEW YORK. June 19. —Frederick
Gimbel, first vice president of Gim
bel Brothers’ department store, with
branches in many cities, was arrested
today by department of justice agents
on a charge of profiteering in cloth
ing. Gimbel is head of the New
York store.
J. J. Dowdell, general merchandise
manager of the store, and C. D. Slaw
ter, clothign buyer, also were ar
rested on similar charges. All three
are charged with making profits in
clothing of from 90 to 275 per cent.
The warrants were served by Les
ter S. Kafer, special assistant to At
torney General Palmer, heading one
of the flying squadrons investigat
ing the profiteering here.
The arrests came as a complete
surprise at the store and officials
there at first stated they believed
there must have been some error.
S. R. Coons, advertising director,
later gave out the following state
ment:
“We have not had time to look
into the matter. It is possible that
in a business so great there might
be one or more colored pieces of
merchandise marked at a higher price
than is provided for in the regula
tions. All we.know is that it is and
has been our desire and intention
to comply with all government regu
lations.”
The warrants served this morning
were issued last night by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock on
complaints of flying squadron agents
who charged four specific instances
of profiteering.
One of the highest profits alleged
to have been made was at an ad
vert'sed sale of men's clothing. It is
charged a suit costing $33 was sold
for $75. Other charges were that a
$5.50 mohair suit was sold at S2O;
a sls suit was sold for $33.75; and
another suit costing $5.50 was sold
at sls.
Gimbel, Dowdell and Slawter were
released in SI,OOO bail each when
arraigned before Commissioner Hitch
cock. July 6 was set for their pre
liminary examinations.
COX SEEN AS CHOICE
OF DEMOCRATS IS
M'ADOOSAYS 10"
WASHINGTON, June 19. —Admin-
istration Democrats were leaving
Washington for San Francisco today
frankly in the dark as to candii rtes
b.t with very definite plans as to
what planks should go into the Dem
ocratic platform.
The uncertainty as to candidacies
was th- result of the announcement
of William G. McAdoo’s decision not
to allow his name to go before the
Democratic convention.
Democrats who were backing the
McAdoo candidacy here said they
“would consider it an affront to Mr.
McAdoo” to take his name before
the Democratic convention. If neces
sary. they said Mr. McAdoo again will
make it plain that he doesn’t want
the nomination.
These statements W’ere made in an
swer to rumore that Mr. McAdoo
might reconsider his withdrawal, if
he were actually nominated.
That President Wilson might have
to throw the administration strength
behind some candidate to avoid a
long deadlock in the convention was
regarded as extremely probable de
spite Mr. Wilson's assertion that he
hi. 5 not acted in behalf of any can
didate.
President Wilson’s interview with
the New York World supplementing
his previous indorsement of the Vir
ginia Democratic platform left, no
v .certainty as to the policies the ad
ministration Democrats will fight
for.
The Cox Situation
Democrats, as they embarked for
their cross-continent trip, declared
tha Governor James M. Cox, with
McAdoo’s -withdrawal, would get the
Democratic nomination early in the
convention if it were not for the op
position o W. J. Bryan and other
drys.
There was some talk of an at
tempt to get Governor Cox and Mr.
Bryan together by having Governor
Cox declare for a law enforcement
plank. Failing in this, Democrats
were for nominating Governor Cox
anyway in the belief that he would
carry New York, New Jersey, proo
ably California, his own state of
Ohio and the Democratic solid
south running on a beer and light
wine plank.
The movement to Carter Glass,
which McAdoo supporters started, ap
parently lost momentum soon after
it got under way. Mr. Glass pointed
+ the weak spot of his candidacy
when he said he lived in a section
“which is relied upon to furnish the
electoral votes, but not the candi
dates,” Democrats said.
Dark Horse Talk
It also was pointed out that Mr.
McAdoo’s strength came from labor
in a large measure and that Senator
Glass could not hope to inherit this.
The name of Secretary of State
Bainbridge Colby also was on a num
ber of Democratic lips as a possible
dark horse and there was a slight
spurt in the talk of John W. Davis,
ambassador to Great Britain.
The McAdoo withdrawal coming
on the heels of the Wilson interview
brought a revival of reports that
President Wilson would seek a third
terra. Two Democratic senators de
nied that Mr. Wilson would seek a
third term and declared that the re
ports were started to injure him.
Both these senators are close to the
White House-
So far ts the Democratic platform
is concerned, Senator Glass figura
tively carried it in his pocket as he
left here with the Virginia delega
tion. He is slated to head the reso
lutions committee on which admin
istration backers believed they are
assured a majority of the members.
The Glass Platform
The Glass platform calls for rati
fication of the treaty without reser
■vations which injures its “essential
integrity,” condem'ns the Republican
congress, praises the Wilson admin
istration, calls for a reduction in the
cost of living by passage of meas
ures advocated by President Wilson
in one of his messages to congress
and declares against a soldier bonus.
Still in the making are the prohi
bition and labor planks.
The decision of Mr. McAdoo not
to allow his name to go before the
convention became known when he
gave out a telegram which he sent
late Friday to Jouette Shouse at
Washington, in reply to a wire from
the latter, asking him for a definite
statement as to his candidacy and
making a last request that Mr. Mc-
Adoo allow his friends to place him
in nomination.
Authorities Believe
Several Persons Know
Slayer of Elwell
NEW YORK, June 19.—Belief that
several persons know the identity of
the murderer of Joseph Bowne Elwell
whist expert and turfman, but
through a desire not to involve the
name of a woman have withheld
facts, will be the keynote of the in
vestigation conducted by Assistant
District. Attorney Joyce today. Mr.
Joyce said he felt sure the murderer
realized his identity was known to
these persons.
District Attorney Swann conduct
ing an additional investigation said
“we are as far from the solution as
we were on Friday morning, when
the whist expert was found dying at
his home.”
The identity of the "woman in
pink,” the owner of the lingerie,
found in Elwell’s home, was definite
ly established yesterday. Mr. Swann
said. Her name, however, he said
would be withheld. He would refer
to her only as “Miss Wilson.” the
name by which she was known to
Mrs. Marie Larsen, Elwell’s house
keeper.

General Mosby’s Statue
Unveiled in Virgina
WARRENTON, Va„ June 19.—A
marble statue of Colonel John Single
ton Mosby, noted leader of Mosby’s
Rangers of the Confederate army,
was unveiled here today, having’been
provided with a fund for which con
tributions w’ere received from the en
tire south.
Colonel Mosby, who died on Memo
rial day four years ago, was born in
Virginia in 1833 and after serving
in the Confederate army tw'o years
was commissioned to organize the
battalion of cavalry which later be
came famous as one of the most ef
fective organizations in either the
Confederate or Union armies.

Colonel Mosby‘became close friends

Release Sought by
Brownsville Rioters
KANSAS CITY, June 19.—Habeas
corpus petitions on behalf of thirty
nine negro prisoners now serving
life sentences in the federal prison
at Leavenworth, were up for hearing
before Judge John C. Pollock in the
United States district court in Kan
sas City, Kansas, today.
The thirty-nine were received at
the prison in December, 1917, sen
tenced by court-martial for partici

QUARANTINE ON
PINK BOLL WORM
BEGUN BY STATE
The Georgia state board of ento
mology, in order to prevent the in
festation of Georgia cotton fields by
the pink boll worm, has promulgated
stringent quarantine restrictions on
the importation of cotton and cotton
seed from certain districts of Texas
and, Louisiana. The announcement
of the quarantine was made Satur
day by State Entomologist A. C.
Lewis, on his erturn from a meeting
of the board held in Thomasville.
The pink boll worm is character
ized as the worst enemy of the cot
ton farmer, even more to be dreaded
than the boll weevil. The latter can
be controlled to a certain extent, but
no scientific means of controlling
the pink boll worm has yet been dis
covered. The only method is to pro
hibit cotton production within a wide
radius of any spot found to be in
fested. The boll worm is an immi
grant from Mexico, like the boll wee
vil. It is prevalent in certain dis
tricts in Texas and Louisiana and
is working its way eastward.
Alabama and Mississippi have in
stituted strict quarantines against
cotton shipments from Texas and
Mississippi and the Georgia regula
tions follow along the lines of these
two states. No shipments of cotton
or its by-products except cottonseed
oil, are permitted to enter Georgia
without a permit from the board oi
entomology, while shipments from
certain territories are absolutely pro
hibited.
The regulations of the Georgia
board institute a quarantine against
shipments from:
“In the state of Texas the coun
ties of Jefferson, Chambers, Galves
ton, Brazqria. Harris, Liberty, Fort
Bend, Hai’din and Newton in South
eastern Texas. Also in west Texas
the counties of Presidio, Brewster,
Val Verde, Kinney and MaveHck and
a zone thirty miles wide around these
counties, and a zone with a radius of
ten miles around Hearn, Texas.
“In the state of Louisiana the
parishes of Cameron, Jefferson Davis
and Calcasieu and a zone thirty
miles wide around these parishes;
also a zone with a radius of ten miles
surrounding the oil mills located at
Shreveport, Alexandria,, Monroe,
Boussard, Bunkie, Eunice and Gretna
in the state of Louisiana within thir
ty miles of an area known to have
been infested by the pink boll worm
within the past two years.
“The articles against which the
quarantine specifically applies are
as follows: cotton, cotton seed, seed
cotton cotton seed hulls, cotton lint
and linters, cotton waste, cotton
sweepings, cotton samples, cot
ton mill waste, damaged and
re.dried cotton, cake and meal but
not cotton seed oil; also household
goods containing any prohibited ma
terials either as packing or other
wise, cotton bagging, sacks and oth
er containers for cotton, ginning and
milling machinery which has been
used in the Infested or restricted
areas within thirty months, also bal
ed hay and corn in the shuck.
“Shipments of these articles xyill
be permitted to enter Georgia on spe
cial permit issued by the Georgia
state board of entomology.”
The board after going over the
work now being conducted and the
demands for work on pecap insects,
peach diseases, tobacco insects and
for conducting the eradication of the
mosiac disease of sugar cane, has de
cided to ask the legislature for an
increase of $15,000 in the appropria
tion now made for the Georgia state
board of entomology. The present
appropriation is $60,000.
William P. Pollock to

In Senatorial Race
COLUMBIA. S. C., June 19.—Wil
liam P. Pollock, former United States
senator, today filed his pledge and
announced his candidacy for the
United States senate in opposition to
the incumbent, Ellison Durant Smith,
stating that in his opinion the na
tional Democratic convention will
adopt a platform which is pro
gressive and for the best interests of
the whole people and he will stand
upon that platform.
Senator Pollock said that he would
not spend any money on his cam
paign, would not open headquarters,
have a campaign manager, advertise
or carry on letter writing, but would
appeal in person to the people of the
state.
He said that while he was grate
ful to the people of the state for
their election of him to the United
States senate to succeed the late Sen
ator Tillman, his term of service was
-o short that he could not make much
of a record. He craves for at least
one full term in the senate where he
can be of real service.

FULLBRIGHTURGES
COMPLETE REVISION
OFsmmws
Henry J. Fullbright, state tax
commissioner of Georgia, and a vet
eran member of the legislature pre
vious to his tenure of his present
office, lays great emphasis In his
annual report to the legislature upon
the need for a complete revision of
the tax laws of Georgia.
He recommends the adoption of
the plan worked out by the special
tax commission whose report was
submitted to the legislature at the
1919 session. That plan provided for
the classification of property accord
ing to its kind, for the making of
different rates of taxation upon dif
ferent classes of property, for an
income tax, and for certain changes
in the inheritance taxes then and
now existing. The legislature raised
the rate oi inheritance taxes, which
the commission recommended, but
did not adopt the other recommen
dations. They involved constitution
al amendments.
If the plan as submitted and as
now before the legislature is not ac
ceptable, recommends Commissioner
Fullbright, there should be treated
another tax commission to study the
subject and make a report. He re
marks, however, that the previous
tax commission devoted months of
study to taxation, worked out a plan
embodying the best features of the
most progressive state tax systems
in the country, and held public hear
ings throughout the state.
Commissioner Fullbright show’s, by
way of illustrating what he terms
the failure of the existing tax sys
tem, that the total assessed value of
real estate and personal property in
Georgia is only 35 per cent of its
actual value, and that 86 of the 155
counties are even lower than 35 per
cent. In this connection he has
worked out and is undertaking to
apply this year to all county tax
digests an equalization scale that
will bring them up to something
like a uniform percentage of assess
ments to actual value.
He shows that the total amount
of money on hand, including bank
deposits, and the total notes, ac
counts and other evidences of debt,
returned for taxation on January 1,
1919, was $6G,582,326; whereas on
that date there was on deposit in
Atlanta banks alone, according to
their statements, a total of $85,000,-
000. He estimates that the total in
tangible property of Georgia escap
ing taxation is not less than SBOO.-
000,000, or nearly as much as the to
tal returned value of the real estate
of the state, which was $982,623,580
in 1919. (The tax digests for 1920
are not yet completed.)
Commenting upon the necessity
for a general revision of the state’s
tax laws, Commissioner Fullbright
says:
“Our entire code of revenue laws
should be revised and our systems
of taxation modernized. If the gen
eral plan recommended by the spe
cial tax commission in 1919 is not
adopted at the 1920 session, then
provision should be made for the ap
pointment of another tax commis
sion to 'continue the work of inves
tigating revenue laws, in order that
the matter may be given the con
sideration which its importance de
mands.
“No government can be main
tained without revenues, no state can
maintain its institutions without
funds. If the state of Georgia is
to continue its policy of maintaining
free schools for the education of its
children, and furnishing pensions to
Confederate soldiers and their wid
ows. as well as miantaining the elee
mosynary institutions, then its reve
nues must be adequately provided,
and should be raised by law in keep
ing with the conditions of the pres
ent time.
“Our uniform end ad valorem sys
tem having failed for a number of
years to supply the revenue for the
state’s absolute requirements. has
been supplemented by the levy of
special license fees and other reve
nus of more or less doubtful legality.
All interests which enjoy the protec
tion of the state should pay their
just proportion of the expenses of
government. Some equitable and
just method should be -found for tax
ing what is known as Intangible
property, and make it contribute to
the state just as tangible, visible
properly is now taxed. Under the
existing law there is no distinction,
but in practice it is quite apparent
that very little of this class of prop
erty ever gets on the tax books.”
