SESSION HALF GONE. HIGHWAY PROGMNI STILLJIANGS FIRE Twenty-five days of the fifty-day Mission of the legislature have slipped sway, and the most Important con structive work of the session remains undisposed .of. To finish this work and sustain Its reputation as the - most constructive legislature in a quarter of a century, it will be neces ’ sary for the house and senate to side track unimportant matters and con centrate their attention upon the biff things. First and foremost in the minds of most members of both branches of the general assembly, and doubtless foremost in the minds of the peo ple, is the highway program. This all depends upon the passage of the Pending bill to amend the constitu tion so as to provide for a high way bond issue. Every one is agreed that the bond-issue method of con structing a system of state trunk roads is the business-like method. It means that the system will be fin lsh.ed the shortest possible time and that the present generation can enjoy its benefits in completed form before .they pass away. In other words, it is like all other big pub lic projects —build now and use now and let each succeeding year’s in come applv on the cost. Motor Fund Dispute . But before the bond issue bill can be passed through the house or the senate, it seems to be necessary to settle a hotly contested question as to the direction which shall be given the automobile fund pending the is suance ot the bonds. The fund this year will run close to $2,000,000. A ext year it will be more, and the i next year more, and so on. as the number of motor vehicles increases issue bill, if passed, will SL to . h t . he , p S >pl « * n the general elec the People approve it, then the legislature in 1921 will pass the necessary enactment to put its provisions into effect. Another twelve months will probably be re- MU 4'k to.’sstie and market the bonds. ~, us * revenue from motor ve ninorJiafu se J’ °* he ™' ise 1!no "’n as the automobile fund, will be coming into the treasury for two or three.years oeloie the bonds are issued, and the question unsettled in the legislature is now to expend it during that period. After the bonds are issued, the en tire automobile fund will be used to pay sinking fund and interest, which is the financial plan followed in prac tically all the states where state highway systems have been or are being built. A wing of the house led by Repre sentative Knight, of Berrien, -wants the automobile fund prorated by the highway board among the several counties, on a post road mileage ■ basis, pending the issuance of high way bonds. A wing led bv Repre sentative Carswell, of Wilkinson, waits the fund to be'used by the highway board in getting underway the preliminary work of what is ul timately to be the finished system of state highways. They do not want the highway board to be required to distribute the fund among the coun ties on a prorata basis, as they are convinced it would be wasteful and produce but slight results. Favors Preliminary Work Representative Knight does not ! demand that the fun-.;, wh.cn pro-! t.-hot 1 . shall be placed in the hands, the local county authorities for expenditure as they see fit. He is willing for the highway board to expend the fund, when prorated, on whatever roads and for whatever proj ects it sees fit. But he wants it distributed. He contends that tangi ble evidence which would thus be given the people in every county of an even distribution would popularize tiie bond issue and insure its pas sage. He contends that bridges could be built on roads which were to become state roads, that grades could be rectified on roads which were to become state roads, and that other preliminary work, of a permat nent nature could be done in all coun- 1 ties with the automobile fund from year to year until the bonds were issued. Representative Knight’s resolution ■ directing the highway board to dis tribute the automobile fund in the manner above stated, will come be fore the house next Tuesday morn ing as a special and continuing order. Opponents of the resolution claim they have it beaten. Representative Knight’s reply is that the supporters of his resolution will defeat me bond issue bill if his resolution is- defeat ed It only takes a majority vote to pass his resolution, but the bond is sue bill requires a two-thirds vote of the whole house, being a constitu tional amendment, and likewise a two-thirds vote of the senate. Repre sentative Knight will vote and speak for the bond issue bill if his resolu tion is'passed and will speak for the ratification of the bond issue bill when it goes before the people. It his resolution is defeated, he says he will fight the bond issue bill in the legislature and fight it on the stump if it passes the legislature. Those supporting the Knight res olution contend that Representative Carswell and those supporting his views have to make a choice between compromising with the Knight fol lowing, or of beating their resolution and jeopardizing the bond issue bill. Os course, if the bond issue bill is defeated or fails to pass, the highway program is held up for two years, for the next general election when constitutional amendments can be submitted to the people does not come until the fall of 1922. Finance Legislation Needed Next to the hjghway program, the most important and pressing matter before the legislature is the extrica tion of the state from its embarrass ing financial tangle. A floating debt which has been accumulating an nually for several years will likely amount to $2,000,006 when the I ent year’s balance is taken on De -9 cember 31. The problem before the a legislature is how to pay off that |l floating debt and' start the state with fl a clean financial slate. is Various solutions have been pro fl posed. One is a bill to amend the ■ constitution so as to authorized an fl issuance of $5,000,000 of bonds to ga pav the floating debt and create a H surplus to be used in lean periods ■ when current receipts run low in the ■ treasury. The state does not collect M its revenue from month to month, as 9 a business concern collects its ac -9 counts, or an Individual draws wages 9 or income, but collects the great bulk 9 of it in the fall of the year when rl taxes are paid, and collections are 9 then strung out through a period U reaching into the spring of the ensu -9 ing year. . Ml Income Tax Proposed K ; Another proposed solution, like ‘fl wise involving a 9 amendment, is ot levy a tax upon all incomes, similar to the federal in* 9 come tax, and to make this new source of revenue absorb the deficit 9 and keep the state going without a ■ new deficit in the future. Connected H with the proposal for an income tax, ■ but abandoned for the present ses sion, are constitutional bills reor- ■ ganizing the tax system so as to 9 classify property according to kind. ■ and to segregate certain kinds ot M property to be taxed only by the M state without local taxation. K Another proposed solution is to in crease the governor’s borrowing pow- ■ er from $500,000 to $3,000,000. This gfl also would involve a constitutional amendment, sucti a plan, it is con- M tended, would not reach the funda- M mentals of the. situation, for inade- ■ ouate revenue is at the bottom of mM the state’s floating debt. Os course, gfl it is pointed out, the state’s Income ||H might eventually grow up to a point |9 where the current loans made by the mH governor would be repaid, but that R| is very doubtful. The legislature gj usually appropriates every dollar In M sight and lets the governor worry Isl about floating debt. figg Still another proposal is to take Meway the existing five-mill tax limit Inland authorize the governor and »comptroller to fix annually whatever tax rate is necessary to produce from iIH existing taxable values the sum total M appropriated by the legislature. This M proposal is not very popular in the M house or the -senate, for the obvious £B reason that it would fix upon the general assembly the direct responsi- bility for all increases of the tax rate. 91 It does not seem likely that the THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKL.Y JOURNAL.

Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK.—Had Joseph Bowne Elwell, murdered “card king,” play ed the game of life as he played card games—entirely according to the rules —there is every likelihood that he would be living today. Elwell’s most widely read book, “Advanced Bridge,” shows him to have been a deep student of human nature. A number of his rules in “Advanced Bridge” apply in a sur prising way to his own life, and in dicate that he made mistakes in his life that he would never have made at cards. Great care should be urged in studying a hand • that leads to a “heart make,” says “Advanced Bridge.” But Elwell discarded his wife, and since then other women. “The advisability of a ’heart make' is contingent on -the length and .ength of the heart suit,” says ‘Advanced Bridge.” Held Strong Hand Elwell had everything tor a strong hand in life. He had honors in ev ery suit- —two of them aces. IN HEARTS —otherwise lo . he had a splendid wife and child, an ace and king. IN DIAMONDS otherwise money—he had honors and strong suit.

The officials of the oil companies have declared they will “stick it out,” and will not grant another cent increase. Bulk of Government Expenses Were Used \ To Pay Public Debt WASHINGTON, July 17.—Govern ment expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30 amounted to $23,- 441,383,564, of which $6,403,343,481 was in ordinary disbursements and $17,038,039,723 in payments on the public debt, according to a prelimi nary statement issued tonight by the treasury. The war department led in the ordinary expenditures, disbursing $1,610,587,380, with $2,036,672,157 charged to federal control of rail roads next, and interest on the pub lic debt amounting to $1,020,251,622 third. The navy ranked second among departments, expending $736,- 021,456, and the shipping board third with $530,565,649. Ordinary expenditures were heav iest in July, 1919, when $976,273,570 was spent, and lightest in February, when they totaled $295,457,433.

Conn.—Mrs. Ella McWoodson. of this town, may have to submit to amputation of a leg, which is affected with blood poi soning, because she had the “first national bank” habit of so many women, keeping a big roll of money in her stocking. Physicians say her ailment is due to germs from frequently handled bank bills. state’s financial problem will be solved at this session. The bill which appears to have the best chance of passing is the income tax bill. This, if passed, would go to the people in the general election this fall. If they ratified it, the legislature in 1921 could pass the necessary act prescribing the scale of rates upon incomes and the money could be collected in the fall of 1921 Other important matters before the legislature include the bill to amend the constitution so as to remove re strictions from appropriations for ed ucational purposes; the bill to con tinue the illiteracy commission: the bill to correct certain imperfections in the state banking act, which was passed in 1919; the bill to straighten the confusion as to the authority, of the state superintendent of printing, an office created in 1919 and as yet unable to map out its work because of the ambiguity of the printing act. s Vflr game,” said his book, “Avoid all 1 weak heart and diamond makes.” Instead of sticking rigidly to that rule. Elwell discarded his wife, bid in hearts foolishly many times, and often made it diamonds recklessly by playing the game that he did not know —racing. . hether he made a mistake in banking too much on the queen of hearts —Viola Kraus, j ..st disclosed as the “Miss Wilson” whose pink lingerie was found in his atpartment —remains to be seen. Viola Kraus was divorced from Victor Von Schel gel shortly before the murder. The “Bystander” It was for violation of one primal rule Os bridge that Anna Kane, for mer housekeeper, was discharged. “While a bystander, by agreement among the players, may decide any question,” says the book, “yet he must on no account say anything unless appealed to and if he* makes any remark which calls attention to a misplav he is liable to be called on by the players to pay the stake on that rubber.” Mrs. Kane, it has appeared from evidence given to the district attor- Twins Born in Jail to Woman Facing Gallows QUEBEC.—Marie Anne Houde Gagnon, under sentence of death here for the murder, by cruejty and neglect, of her step-daiighter, Aurore, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in the jail in firmary.

Fullbright, state tax commissioner, their tax digests for 1920. and of this number thirteen show increases which are acceptable to him."while the other nineteen show increases which, though sub stantial, are below the ..iark re quired. At the first of the year Commis sioner Fullbright announced an equa’lization scale which all coun ties would be required to come up to. The scale was worked out by him in conference with tax officials In all counties in the state. Its ob ject was to secure a general uni formity of tax assessments. If car ried out in 1920 it will produce jn round figures an increase of $225,- 000.000 in taxable values. ' The thirteen counties mentioned above have come up to the scale, and some have done a little better. They' show an aggregate increase in tax values, over 1919, of $11,257,346. In 1919 the same thirteen counties showed an aggregate increase, over 1918, of $3,736,215. The other nineteen counties show an aggregate increase of $8,482,630 over 1919. Their aggregate in crease in 1919 over 1918 was $2,- 994,028. In order to come up to the equalization scale, they must show an aggregate increase of $21,689,103. Their digests have been held up pending negotiations between the lo cal tax officials and the state tax commissioner. Hardwick Praises Cox at Clayton PLAXTON, Ga., July 17.—Former Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, can didate for governor, spoke here this afternoon to an audience of about 350. He referred at length to the doings of the convention held in At lanta and the San Francisco conven tion, and expressed the belief that the conventiqn had nominated a man who would make the party really Democratic. After explaining his position on the League of Nations and paying his respects'to the administration, he outlined his position with reference to the affairs of the state of Geor gia. He also compared his candi dacy with that of his two opponents and said he was also in favor of good roads, good schools and\ fine churches, just as they were, but that there were more important matters that demanded attention. First Road Book Printed In 1789; Rare Volume Forerunner of all the automobile road books of today was “A Survey of the Roads of the United States of America,” published by Christopher Colles in 1789. Tbts was the first road book printed in the United States, it is a quaint and rare old volume, only five copies being known. The maps have special signs to in dicate the Uresbyterian and Episco palian churches, the town houses, grist mills, blacksmith shops, bridges, taverns and jails. The sym bol for the last named is a gibbet. The author notes also the names of the property owners along the way. In telling of the advantages of his survey or road book Colles wrote: “A traveler will find here so plain and circumstantial a description of the road that whilst he has the draft with him it will be impossible for him to miss Irfk way; he will have the satisfaction of knowing the names of many persons on the road; if his horse should want a shoe, or his car riage be broke, he will, by the bare inspection of the draft, be able to determine whether he must go back ward or forward to a blacksmith’s shop.”—Detroit News. ney, said too much and knew too much about the players at Elwell’s house and was. therefore, banished. After the mysterious murder of El-. well she came forward with evi dence. Among other rules that Elwell ob served, however, was the following: “When your partner makes what appears to be an unusual play, do not condemn it, butL ask yourself why the play was made.” William K. Pendleton, Elwell’s partner, says his relations with the murdered man were most cordial Officials are looking into Elwell’s bus. .. deals, alleged traffic*in li quor, and District Attorney Swann states that he is examining evidence tending to show that a close busi ness friend of visited the El well home the morning of the murder. Some of the detectives are con vinced that Elwell made his worst mistake with the discard. In other words, he misjudged and discarde' the wrong woman. “In discarding,” he warned in “Ad vanced Bridge,” “endeavor to conceal both your weakness and your strength.” The most uncanny thing in the “Post-mortems have their interest and are unmistakably convincing as a rule. Don’t venture upon them un less you are certain what the scalpel is going to reveal, and, above all things, when the corpse is buried dont continue to talk of it and harass the other players.” Unfortunately for Elwell’s reputa tion, however, the district attorney must continue to probe with his scalpel. FOUR SEPARATE TREMORS FELT IN LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES, July 17. —Four earthquake shocks of varying in tensity formed the total of yester day’s seismic disturbances. The last one came after 6 o’clock. The physical marks left by the tremors, while many, were relatively slight. Some chimneys were shaken down; much plaster was jarred loose; dishes and ornaments were broken; a few earth slides occurred, one where it interfered with traffic, and •■.here were other annoyances. Scores of people suffered slight hurts, due to falling objects. No ac curate estimate of either money dam age nor physical injuries could be made, the authorities believed, as many minor losses will go unre ported. Sues to Force Colby to Promulgate Resolution Declaring War at End WASHINGTON, July 17. —Harry McCartney, a Chicago lawyer, in his capacity as a taxpayer, today filed suit in the district supreme court to compel Secretary of State Colby to immediately promulgate the joint resolution of congress declaring at an end the state of war with Ger many. Mr. McCartney based his suit on the ground that the president has no veto over a joint resolution. The peace resolution has been a law, the plaintiff contended, since its passage on May 21. Harry J. Bryan, identified by the papers as “editor ot laws” of the state department, also was made a defendant, on teh ground that the actual publication of all laws was his duty. Failure of the defendants to pub lish the alleged law, Mr. McCartney claimed, has resulted in a confused condition which is potent with na tional peril and with peril to the pub lic comfort, morale and the normal pursuit of patriotic ideals of .the peo ple of the United States. Trade also has been adversely affected, it was alleged, the resulting loss reaching every American household. Liquor Is Allowed in Food Manufacture WASHINGTON, July 17. —Intoxl- eating liquors may be used in the manufacture of food products, under a ruling today bv Commissioner ot Internal Revenue Williams, provid ed such food is for sale and not for consumption on the premises where manufactured. Hotels, restaurants and other public places will not be permitted to use liquor in the prep aration of food. Only one-half of 1 per ent of al cohol may be used in the manufac ture of liquid foods such as soups, in frozen liquids such as ice cream or in preserving of flavoring fruits. Permits ane necessary to enable food manufacturers to use liquor and no more than a 90 days supply will be all owed them at one time. Negro Found Guilty of Killing T. M. Moore RICHMOND, Va„ July 17.—Wil liam Turner, negro, was found guilty today in federal court here of first degree murder for the killing sev eral weeks ago of T. Morgan Moore, of Alexandria. The principal wit ness against the negro was Miss Pearl Clarke, secretary to Represent ative Brittain, of Illinois, fiance of Moore, and in his company at the time he was killed. The couple were in an automobile going from Alexan dria to Washington when the negro Stopped the car to ask for money. A pistol battle between Moore and the negro resulted in the instant death of the former. CASTORtA For Infants and Children I n Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the i Signature of JOURNAL EDITOR SAYS DEMOCRATS PICKED WINNER On his return to Atlanta Saturday from the San Francisco convention Major John S. Cohen, president and editor of The Journal, expressed en thusiastic approval of the nomina tion of Governor Cox and Mr. Roose velt, and spoke in ’glowing terms of the great west. He left Saturday night for Asheville to attend the pub lishers’ meeting, but will be back in the city before the end of this week. Major Cohen was accompanied by Mrs. Cohen and their daughter, Miss Mary. They went byway of Los Angeles and were met there by En sign John S. Cohen, Jr., an officer of the navy, who graduated from An napolis in 1919. The family were together in Los Angeles several days prior to the convention, spent two weeks together in San Francisco dur ing the convention, and then Major Cohen and his wife and daughter went to Banff Springs and other points of interest in Canada. Mrs. Cohen and Miss Mary Cohen remain ed at Banff for two weeks. Major Cohen traveled a total of 8,000 miles and discussed politics with men of both parties in fifteen states and the Dominion of Canada. He returned home with a feeling of optimism concerning the Democratic prospects of success in the presiden tial election. Convention Unbossed “The convention at San Francisco was as completely unbossed as any convention ever held by a political party,” said he. “The nomination of Governor Cox to head the ticket was logical and advisable from ev ery standpoint. He true pro gressive Democrat, a successful edi tor and publisher, a student of pub lic affairs, a splendid governor, and a remarkably forceful personality. My opinion is that the country will think more and more of him as they hear him and his speeches. He is the virile type of campaigner who appeals to the imagination of the American people. His nomination may be said to have been inevitable after obligations of courtesy and comvßment had been paid by the delegates to other candidates. “The nomination of Assistant Sec retary Roosevelt for vice president was a very fine stroke. He has made a splendid constructive record in the navy. He is young, robust, mascu line in every fiber, and is splendid ly equipped for his place as running mate with Governor Cox. His name alone will do a great deal, in my judgment, to popularize the ticket, and he will make good in all partic ulars. “The Democrats enjoyed at San Francisco a very wonderful hospitals ity. Every detail of the convention was handled with 100 per cent efficiency. Delegates and visitors were treated everywhere with the ut most courtesy. Prices were not raised and there was no effort any where to gouge the city’s guests. This alone was a magnificent adver tisement for the city and its people. The San Francisco hotels, such as the Saint Francs, the Palece, the Fairmont and others, compare with the best in Chicago, New York and Europe. Their service is the last word in perfection. To those of us who were visiting Frisco for the first time it was no surprise that so many of our people have gone there and to other cities in California to live. It is a marvelous country. We would dt> well in Georgia to copy the Cali fornia spirit. The famous song, ‘I Love You, California,’ is not only a tuneful melody—it expresses a sort of civic religion for the: California people. I did not see a person in the state who was not a booster for Cal ifornia. Although the state is a thousand miles long, a distance equal to the distance from New York City to Atlanta, there is no sectional jealousy and no division among the people. “Wonderland” “Canada is a wonderland, w'th her glaciers, her crystal lakes, her grand mountain ranges, her marvelous ho tels, her boundless wheat fields, hei splendid people. After one has trav eled 8,000 miles in the west, enjoy ing the hospitality of such hotels as they have in Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Seattle, Banff Springs and other cities, riding on such magnifi cent railroads as the Union Pacific, the Canadian Pacific and the South ern Pacific, he realizes that every American should see his own wonder ful country before he goes abroad to look for scenic wonders. “I believe the Democrats with Gov ernor Cox and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt have a good chance to carrv California. I believe the tick et will grow steadily in the middle west. I believe we can carry Ohio with Governor Cox if we can carry it with anybody. Georgia, I have no doubt, will give the ticket another record-breaking majority. It is a matter of profound gratification for all of us that the nomination is ac ceptable to every element of the party in the state.” Georgia Peach Crop May Be Below Par WASHINGTON, July 17.—The Georgia peach crop for this season is now expected to fall far below earlier expectations, according to the weekly market report of the bu reau of markets. Lateness of the season, and the presence of much defective fruit through faulty pack ing of refrigerator cars were given as the principal reasons for the smaller output. The report estimat ed the north Georgia yield at from 400 to 500 cars.

Here was an ex-private she had en tertained in her home and mothered in his loneliness. There was an ex officer beside whom she had toiled long into the night in the bloody hospital wards. One after another, men and women, boys and girls, she looked at them who had worked with her and laughed with he and suf fered with her at Blois, France, the summer and winter of 1918-19. On the front row was Dr. Fritz Hodgson, whose right hand she was in many dangerous operations. Be side him sat Albert Jelks and Jake Harris, just two of 200 enlisted men whose help and comfort she had been when that'was what they want ed most. And between them, square shouldered and indomitable on the stumps that serve him for legs, his tanned face wreathed in a smile so whole-souled and hearty it seemed a miracle for it to be there, Lieuten ant Robert Fletcher’s warm gray eyes met hers. Dr. Hodgson held in his lap the silver loving cup he had presented her in the name of the Emory unit but a moment before. Jake Harris and Albert Jelks had the certificate of appreciation from Emory universi ty and the American Red Cross medal just given her. And in her ears was still echoing the things they had said when they voiced the simple love and gratitude of the Emory unit for their “mother.” Simple, Heart-Warming Speech She tried to speak. In the silence the words, in her own musical French, fell clearly, needing no in terpreter to translate the feeling in them. “L’enfant” was one of them, and those who knew madame’s story knew then that she spoke of the daughter whose death early in the war, with her husband at the front, sent her into the service, where the happiness she had lost she gave to others. The voice broke for a mqment, and then the speech was over and madame was back in her place at Lieutenant Fletcher’s side, and Dr. Frank Bo land was shouting stentoriously for the quartet, and everybody was laughing as heartily as possible, so as not to cry outright. That was the scene which will be remembered always by those' at the Emory unit’s second annual reunion at the farm of Dr. E. C. Davis —that and the speech of Lieutenant Fletcher. For Lieutenant Fletcher, “pet pa tient” of Base Hospital Forty-three, was honored, too. They gave him the Emory unit book because that was about the most precious gift they could think of. And when they called for “Speech! Speech!” he whipped around on his stumps and smiled that miracle smile at them and said: “I’m not much as a speech-maker. In fact, I guess the only kind of speech I could make would be a ‘stump speech!’ But I just want to say it’s been the greatest privilege of my life to be here with the mem bers of the Emory unit, who for me so many months after I was wounded.” Y'ou’d have to know Lieutenant Fletcher to appreciate that speech; you’d have to meet him face to face and let him smile at you while the full significance of what war meant to him swept your heart in a quick, hot wave. Then you’d agree with Eugene Black, who said, simply, “It .was a sort of sacred speech.” Barbecue and Watermelons The reunion drew a full attendance, Emory vets from all over Georgia as well as from Atlanta. They had a corking time, first at the barbecue tables, smeking with meat hot from the pits; and next at the water melons, dripping cold from the spring, and finally all over the place, meeting old friends and new friends, and not half as anxious to be “back in Blooey just for a little while,” as they pretended to be. The Camp Jesup band was there, and a darktown symphony orchestra Dr. Ed Green commandeered from De catur street. It played the “blues” as only a black man can play ’em, and Madame Raguin was so fasci nated she could hardly tear herself away when they crooned into “Let the Rest of the World Go By.’” The presentation ceremonies were simple, and, therefore, sincere to a degree. Dr. Boland presided. Prayer was offered by Captain J. L. Algood, the unit chaplain. S. Twyman Mat tingly forgot the speech he had pre pared on behalf of the enlisted men, and made up a 100 per cent better one on the spur of the moment. Miss Ruby Falls spoke for the nurses, and then came the presentations. Dr. Hansell Crenshaw gave the book to Lieutenant Fletcher. Bishop Candler-' chancellor of Emory, deliv ered the university’s certificate of appreciation, engraved on vellum, to Madame Raguin, and Eugene Black, touched the hearts and the risibili ties both of his audience with his TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1!K!1 MORE GEORGIA 1920 CENSUS FIGURES GIVEN WASHINGTON, July 17.
