GOVERNOR DORSEY VIRTUALLY DECIDES ON EXTIM SESSION That Governor Dorsey has prac tically made up his — mind to call an extra session of the legislature, and will fix the date around the twentieth of January, became known Saturday at the state capitol. The United States supreme court’s decision rendering unenforceble the tax equalization law in case of a dis pute between a board of county as sessors and a property owner, is re sponsible for the governor’s decision. It is necessary to amend the law uefore the tax returns are made for next year, in the governor’s opinion, and this requires an extraordinary session. Tax returns are made and assessments of property value are determined in the early spring. The legislature meets in regular session i in midsummer. Comptroller General Wright, Tax , Commissinoer Fullbright, Attorney i General Denny and other state offl ! cials who have analyzed the effect of i the supreme court decision, are all agreed that the enforcement of the tax equalization law can be broken down when the next tax returns are made. This would reduce the state’s reve nue to an extent which cannot be es timated. It might cut off as much as a third or even a half of all reve nue from real estate and personal property. The result would be a stoppage of the government, along some lines, and a heavy curtailment; along other lines. All appropriations for 1921 have i been made. The legislature at the I 1919 session made appropriations for 1920 and 1921, two years in advance, as is customary. These appropria tions were based upon estimates of future revenue to be produced by the tax equalization law. If the law should be broken down, naturally the revenue anticipated for 1921 would not materialize. The appro priations made for 1921 could not be paid. Schools would have to close, colleges suspend. Confederate pen sioners go unpaid. The only method of forestalling a breakdown of the enforcement of the tax equalization law when tax returns are made in the early spring of 1921, so .far as the governor and the other named officials have been able to find, is a revision of the law in the meantime. This, they feel, re quires an extra session. State house officials do not believe the legislature, if called into extra ordinary session to meet the revenue emergency created by the supreme court decision, would fail or refuse to pass the necessary amendment or amendments of the law. For the legislature, they say. to take such a stand would be equivalent to al lowing a stoppage or at least a cur tailment of the revenue required to pay the appropriations which the legislature itself has made. The leg islature which would meet in an ex tra session would not be the new legislature elected in November, but not yet Inducted into office, but the old or outgoing legislature of 1919- 1920. Governor Dorsey, it is understood, is giving consideration now to the question-whether he will include any subjects other than revision of the tax equalization law in his call for the extra session. He is being urged by Chancellor Barrow and trustees of the Univer sity of Georgia to include the sub ject of a deficiency appropriation for the State Normal school at Athens, which is a branch of the university. He is being urged also by President K. G. Matheson and trustees of the Georgia School of Technology, to include the subject of a deficiency appropriation for that institution. Also it has been suggested that he include the subject of a law pro viding for the registration of wom en voters. It would be possible to charge a registration fee, to be paid into the state treasury, which would defray the expenses of an extra ses sion, the governor believes. In connection with the subject of taxation and a probable extra ses sion, Tax Commissioner Fullbright has taken from the latest reports of the United States census some inter esting figures showing the relative per capita taxation of Georgia and other states. These figures show that the aver age per capita revenue for state pur poses, in all of the states of the union, is $6.43. For the states of Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, gen erally designated as the South At lantic states, the average per capita receipts for state purposes are $3.96. For the states of Kentucky, Ten nessee, Alabama and Mississippi, the average is $3.87 per capita. The highest per capita state rev enue in the United States is collected by the state of Arizona, being $15.02. The lowest is South Carolina, which collects $2.51 per capita. The second lowest is North Carolina, which collects $2.71 per capita. “While South Carolina,” said Com missioner Fullbright, commenting on the figures, “collects twenty cents per capita less than Georgia, the school appropriations of South Caro lina are less than one-third of the school appropriations of Georgia, and the Confederate pension appropria tions are less than one-fourth of those in Georgia. “These figures demonstrate con clusively that Georgia Is not over burdened with taxation, so far as taxation for state purposes is con cern e d.” . Former Russian Soldier Brings Back $ 18,000 In Platium From War HARRIETTA, Minn., Dec. 11. —“Oh, it wasn’t such a bad war after all.” That’s the way Nelson Nolf, of Harrietta, looks at it anyway. Nelson was in Russia, a member of the Polar Bear expedition. He was attracted by the ore he was con stantly stubbing his toes on while hiking about certain parts of the cold country and he brought home a handful of it. It has been kick ing around in the backyard. Today Nolf is rich —$18,000 richer than he was a few days ago. His curiosity caused him t° have some of the ore assayed and the result was that it was found to contain several pounds of platinum. Would Use Army-Navy Funds for Crop Exports WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. —Reduc- I lion of the appropriations for the ' irmy and navy by one-half and the I use of this money to finance exports of surplus crops and the creation of a corporation similar to the United States Grain corporation to purchase the wheat crop were rec ommended to the senate agricultural committee today by the Farmers’ National Council. Liabilities $£.812.70, Assets Are Fifty Cents Liabilities of $4,812.70 and assets of only 50. cents, were claimed in a voluntary bankruptcy petition filed in United States court Saturday by John E. Bowers, an Atlanta contrac tor. The only property of the appli cant was one pair of small scales, the petition stated. Dr. John L. Smeltzer. Atlanta den tist, with offices in the Grant build ing. filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, setting forth liabilities of $5,849 as against assets of S2OO. The assets, which consisted of wear ing apparel and surgical instruments, were claimed to be exempt under the Georgia homestead laws. THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Esther Kaplan, thirteen years old, of Kansas City, is a star calculator. She recently won in a competition with four adding machines operated by experts. Samuel Rzeszewski, nine years old, Combination Motor and Torpedo Boat Launched; Is Called “Sea Hornet” NEW YORK, Dec. 11. —A high powered motor boat, which during times of peace can be carried on bat tleships as a service launch, and in war converted in a few moments into a deadly torpedo boat, was dem onstrated here today in the launch ing of the first vessel of new aux iliary known as “type A-3 sea hor net.” The vessel is 'designed to form an important part of Ameri ca’s coast defense, and the launch ing took place in the presence of more than a hundred regular army and national guard officers, as well as representatives of the navy and the governors of New York and New Jersey. The “sea hornet” type was con ceived during the war and was held as a navy secret, its operation being prevented by the armistice. It is a twin-screw 600-horse power motor boat, 58 feet long, with a hinge bow which drops from place. In the bow is a 21-inch torpedo, carrying in its war head 600 pounds of high ex plosive, Two additional torpedoes are carried as well as six depth bombs. AVhen in operation as a war craft the “sea hornet” which carries a crew'of four men, sinks until but a little more than one foot of the huM is above the water line. The plan of the inventor and those interested in the invention is to have the boat operate in squadrons—or rather “swarms” against enemy craft. The small size of the craft and its low visibility would make the possi bility of one or more of them making a target of an enemy battleship very high, especially at night. The "sea hornet” launched today was christened by Mrs. W. B. Shearer wife of the inventor. President Wilson Looks at Houses as Possible Residences WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Presi dent AVilson is looking ’at several houses near Washington as possible residences after leaving the White House, it was learned today. One of the houses which the pres ident is considering is , the former home of Representative Alan T. Ful ler, of Massachusetts, which is on Wyoming avenue, not far from the house owned by President-elect Hard ing. The president has made no de cision on this or any other house, however. Yeggmen Blow Safe In South Georgia Town MORGAN, Ga., Dec. 11.—The Bank >f Morgan was burglarized Wednes day night, the vault having- been opened by the yeggmen and private boxes ransacked. The safe inside the vault was not opened and the bank, therefore, is not a heavy loseiU There were quite a number of private boxes containing deeds, Liberty bonds and War Saving Stamps. One lady had £2,000 in gold, according to report. All of the boxes-were emptied and the contents taken, the boxes being left in a pile on the floor of the bank. The explosion which opened the vault was not heard and the crime was not known until the cashier came to the bank to open up. The robbers had obtained access into the bank by means of a- key.

FARMERS HOLD COTTON AND PLAN RIGID ECONOMY » MOULTRIE, Ga., Dec. 12.—The present cotton holding movement is the strongest Moultrie has ever seen.' With, nearly half of the coun ty’s 1920 production still in the hands of the growers, the cotton market here is as quiet as it usually is in midsummer. Practically no sales have been made here in more than a month. Growers are hold ing firmly to the view that the mar ket will rally after the holidays and that the price may again go to twen ty-five cents. And in the meantime farmers are making preparations to practice di versification on their places on the biggest scale known since 1915. Feed crops and live stock are to be given the right of way. Some cot ton will be planted, of course, but the acreage will be the smallest ever )tnown in Colquitt, those yho study farm conditions assert. Planters are also going to go slow in buying fertilizer, it is said, and they hope to produce the cheapest crop they have grown in four : years. Labor i- morep lentiful than it has been since the war. Wage hands who have been demanding fabulous prices for their services are said to be seek ing jobs at pay on about the same basis as ruled in 1916 The tendency to economize is being felt by the live stock dealers and concerns that (leal in modern far mmachinery, nesfi two lines of business reporting little activity. Mystery Shrouds Prolonged Sleep Os Texas Woman BOSTON, Dec. 11. —While Mrs. Florence Stevenson, Port Arthur, Tex., lay in a hospital here tonight asleep unnaturally under some mys terious influence, police were inves tigating the circumstances under which she and her daughter, Ruth, 18, were found unconscious in their Pullman compartment aboard, a train which arrived here today. The woman, it was said, had been asleep 24 hours before she was re moved from the train and it was be lieved her condition was critical. The daughter, after being treated, was able to go to the home of a cousin. The girl said she believed her mother had been drugged by a man discharged from her employment. She said her mother had hired a private detective to accompany them east from Port Arthur, but that her mother had been forced to discharge him for insolence. She said the man i efused to leave the train when dis charged and she believed he had in some way drugged her mother. She was unable to explain how the drug had been administered. Argentina Allowed To Keep Oil Fields WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Th.e Ar gentine government may retain pos session of a large area of land in the new. South American oil field and operate it for the benefit of the state, it was said here today. Competition for concessions and property in the new oil field in Ar gentina is increasing, according to official reports here. The Argentine government expects to spend 67,- 000,000 pesos for material, tank steamers and oil development dur ing the next few years. Argentina hopes by 1922 to be producing 40 per cent of its petroleum consump tion, Argentine representatives said. Marie Kempton, nine years old, of New’ York, is an accomplished child painter.

New York Has Heart If These Incidents i Count for Anything BY HERBERT COREY NEW YORK.—Every one talks of New’ York as the Heartless City, but shucks! It has just as much charity and loving-kindness as any other town: Its trouble is that it has the watch-your-step habit. It goes along with its head down talking .to itself, w’ith its eyes on the heels of the man ahead and its ears pinned back lis tening for an auto horn. AVhen it has time to stop New York is always kind. Up on Fifth avenue Holden’s dog, cat and bird shop has been a fixture ever since it was removed from the Bowery, where it first opened its doors about the time old Peter Stuyvesant pervaded those parts. The other night the current Holden was awakened by a telephone call. “I’ve had a dickens of a time get ting your phone,” said a fretful voice. “Exchange wouldn’t give it to me and I finally had to ask the clerk at the Waldorf. He happened to know you.” “And do I know you?” asked Mr. Holden, coldly. “No,” said thp voice on the wire. “But I wanted to tell you that one of your monkeys has got loose and is pulling out the tailfeathers of all your parrots.” There was a kind acf, if you please. Holden got to his shop to find his stock of parrots in a state of extreme nervous exhaustion, though most of their tails were safe. The same day an old colored washerwoman fainted in a market on 125th street. A man she had never seen before or heard of since put her into as taxicab, took her to her home, and aided her up the four flights of stairs. There isn’t a legitimate beggar on the city’s streets. Every professional is plain panhandler, for any man or woman in need has a choice of a dozen insti tutions in which a bed, feed, and w’ork can be obtained. A lit-tle girl fainted in an uptown theatrical agen cy the other day. Underfed and overfrightened, for the busy, self centered, worried people she had met had not wasted a second glance on her and nothing is more terrifying than utter loneliness. In ten minutes after her story was made known enough money had been collected to pay her "few bills nd provide her with half a dozen square meals. Then some one found a job for her in a little rt>ad company, al though she had had no experience whatever. All agreed that was bet ter than sending her home. New York isn’t heartless by a jug ful. is only hurried. Big Profits Charged To Farm Implement Men by Trade Board WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Corre spondence between manufacturers of agricultural implements intended to show price fixing agreements has been made public by the federal trade commission as a part of its special report to congress yesterday recommending legal proceedings against the firms. The commissios alleged that through associations and meetings, manufacturers “fixed prices higher than increased cost of raw materials and labor,” through 1917-1918, and maintained them dur ing 1919. The commission charged in its re port that the National Implement and association combined with a southern association of manufacturers in the same line to affect prices, and produced what it represented to be correspondence between E. F. Parsonage, president of a department of the national as sociation, and D. M. F. Weeks, sales manager of the Studebaker corporation. DISARMAMENT IDEA PRESENTED LEAGUE HAS THREE PHASES GENEVA, Dec. 11.—(By the As sociated Press.) —Disarmament of the world must be a slow and gradu al process, is the decision reached by the League of Nations assembly com rhission which has been deliberating on the question more than three weeks. The opinions of leading mem bers of the commission are that nei ther the political situation nor pub lic opinion is yet ready for full real ization of that object. In fact, even beginning the reduc tion of armaments is not consider ed possible by the commission at the present time. Accordingly, the program which will be presented to the assembly, is to proceed in three stages. The first involves an agreement between the powers to make no further increase in arma ment. The second will provide for a gradual reduction on a basis which will be laid down by the armament commission of the council of the league. The third will provide for general and complete disarmament when it may be found that the situ ation permits it. Viscount Ishii has improved the occasion to give notice that Japan cannot reduce her armament so long as the United States increases hers. One conspicuous fact to date is the necessity of propaganda to prepare the world for a radical so lution of the question. The covenant of the league again gave rise to a long and confused debate in the assembly this after noon. The question was how to choose the four elected members of the council. The committee, which decided the most important point by only one majority after a long and difficult discussion, proposed that the terms of these members be limited to two years and that members shall be eligible for re-election for two years more, then ineligible for re-election during the succeeding four years. This provi sion is intended to facilitate access to the council to all members of the league. Another provision which was more stoutly contested apportioned the members among the different continents, Europe and the Americas getting three and Asia one. This provision is held to be contrary to the covenant, which provides that the assembly shall "freely” choose the members of the council, while apportionment would tie the hands of the next assembly. , The Tacna and Arica case, sub mitted to the assembly at the begin ning of its session, soon reached an acute stage, involving Chile and Bolivia in a serious dispute. Chile renewed her opposition to the as sembly hearing the case, while Bo livia insisted upon an immediate in quiry. The Chilean delegates threat en drastic action in the event that the steering committee decides to hear the case in the present assem bly and the withdrawal of either country is considered a possibility. Dr. Juan Carlos Blanco, of Uru guay, was elected a vice president of the assembly at this afternoon’s ses sion. He was chosen in place of Honorio Pueyrredon, head of the Ar gentine delegation, which withdrew from the assembly early this week. Soldiers Foiled in Attempt to Release Comrade From Jail COLUMBUS, Ga„ Dec. 11.—Prompt action on the part of Colonel Lister, commandant at Camp Benning, last night prevented serious trouble which threatened to develop into a riot. Chief Moore, of the Columbus po lice department, received a telephone message at 6 o’clock to the effect that fifty armed soldiers were en route to Columbus to get one of their com rades out of the county jail. The chief marshaled all his forces for action, placing twenty-five officers in the vicinity of the jail, and asking for the aid of the local military police. Under Sergeant McFeley, eighteen men were placed at the dis posal of Chief Moore and all were or dered to be in readiness for action. Meantime Colonel Lister, Major Rumbo and Lieutenant Compton over took the soldiers, held up the party and demanded an explanation. The men readily admitted their mission and all were ordered back to camp. Some thirty of the number were found to be armed, it was stated. They quietly submitted to the com mands of the officers and all were placed in the barracks. Military authorities say thoy will be given attention at the proper time. They did not expect any further trouble. Just who the men were aft er was not stated, but it is believed to have been one of the three men sentenced for the theft of an auto mobile two days ago. All is quiet today. Luxury Expenditures 300 Pct. in Excess of That for Education MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 11.—Ex penditures in the United States last year for luxuries, approximately $5,- (•00,000,600, was more than 300 per cent in excess of the expenditures for education, P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, told a conference here today of edu cators and state officials from six southern states. For tobacco alone, Mr. Claxton as serted, the expenditure last year was over a billion dollars more than that spent for education. “If we can raise the standards of the persons to whom we intrust the training of our children through cur tailing our tobacco consumption,” Mr. Claxton declared, “then we should ‘Hooverize’ our cigars, ciga rettes, snuff and chewing tobacco.” The ideal school year is 180 days, Mr. Claxton said, while the average in the United States is 162. He urged that at least 4 per cent of govern ment revenues be spent for educa tion. The present expenditure, he said, was 1 3-4 per cent. Teh conference here, one of sev eral regional meetings to be held throughout the country, was attend ed by representatives of educational institutions and state governments in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama. Arkansas and Louisiana. Knitting Official Looks For Business Boom With Coming Year That early in the new year there will be a marked improvement in all lines of business was the prediction made Saturday by Charles R. White, general sales manager of the Rox ford knitting mills, of Philadelphia. Mr. White was in Atlanta on the last leg of a journey which has taken him to the principal cities from New York through the west to the Pa cific coast and back through the southern states. Mr. White said that large num bers of buyers throughout the coun try had indicated their purposes to be in the market for stocks early in the year. He said that the surplus of manufactured products occasion ed by an over-anticipated demand was being rapidly absorbed and that following the placing of orders in January and February many of the mills which had curtailed produc tion will begin an increased output and this will necessarily result in better prices for raw materials. Mr. White does not expect that the demand will be as heavy as it was during the war, but he anticipates that business will rapidly assume a stable basis and that the readjust ment period will soon be over. He said that on his trip he had made a careful survey of business conditions in all lines; that he is firmly of the opinion that the bottom has about been reached in low prices, and that 1921 would prove a satis factory business year.

More Hospitals for Former Soldiers Are Urged in U.S. Report WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Addi tional hospital facilities for the treatment of former service men and women and the appointment of an administrative head for the three major agencies involved in rehabili tation work are recommended by Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general of the public health service, in his annual report sent today to congress by the treasury department. Dr. Cumming says the war risk insur ance bureau, the federal board for vocational education and the public health service should operate under an administrative head “as co-ordi nate and independent burdens in close co-operation.” Emphasizing the need for addi tional hospital facilities. Dr. Cum ming points out that 20.000 patients were recivins: hospital care from the public health service on last July 1 as compared with 2,000 in October, 1919, and urges that con gress make available funds for new construction. “In adidtion to increasing exist ing facilities bv the construction of new hospitals,” said the surgeon general, “it is desired to bri.ig to the attention of congress the dilap idated and unsatisfactory condition of many of the hospitals now owned and operated by the public health service. It is necessary that these institutions be placed fn first-class condition. All of the marine hos pitals at the present time, with but few exceptions, are of antiquated construction and badly in need of repair. “The public health service reiter ates its firm belief that an ade quate hospital construction program should be undertaken bv the na tional government for the care of ex-service men and women. It is not clear how this responsibility can be adequately met in any other way. It is repeated that the spe cial needs to be met are those of ex-service men and women suffering from tuberculosis and mental disor ders. These groups of patients will require treatment for long periods of time, and their demand is for care and treatment in government institutions.” Haw! Haw!
