One hundred dozen roses were
strewn upon the p,- lt h trod by the ex

the chief of police objected. He said
some < rank might throw something be

toe ex-premdent was escorted to the
Hotel Oregon. where he conferred with
loaders in the Progressive fight.
The colonel was informed that plans
for launching a complete third party
ticket in the state have been
While the law calls for 5,0h0 names to
petitions necessary to put the third
party on the ballots for the primaries,
the (Bull Moosers, the colonel was told,
already have obtained 7.500 names and
before the petitions go in tomorrow
they will have 10.00 V.
“Nothing Can Stop Us."
"Fine," exclaimed the ex-president .
"we’ll do the jrick in Oregon Just as
we’ll do it in Washington. California,
Colorado and the other states of the

Roosevelt held an informal reception
at the hotel after his conference with

HIGHER TM MIE
EFFECTIVE OCT. 1
Raise in Levy Expected to In
crease Revenue of Fulton
County SBO,OOO Yearly.
County officials today are beginning
to compile the tax assessments against
property holders in Fulton, having as a
basis of charge the new rate of 6 1-2
mills on the dollar, as fixed by the coun
ty commission late yesterday afternoon.
| The rate will go into effect October 1,
and nearly |SO.OOO additional to the
former income will be paid into the
county treasury. This will give over
SHOO,OOO.
It was asserted at the session that
the state legislature partly is responsi
i ble for the increased tax. That body,
it is said, each y ear forces certain obli-
Igations on the county which have not
been sought by the people.
General Clifford L. Anderson, chair
man of the board,
"By passing new laws that may or
may not be wanted by people of this
county, the state legislature puts on
us an additional expense of approxi
mately $25,000 each year."
Judge H. E. W. Palmer substantiat'd
this statement.
Three Opposed Increase.
It was said that several changes or
dered in the courts and in other de
partments of the county affairs made
, an increased expense last year and
this.
Notwithstanding the probability of
an enlarged'expense account for next
year, a warm sentiment against any
tax raise whatever was shown by three
of the commissioners at the beginning
of the session. They were Tult Waters.
Judge H. E. W. Palmer S. B. Tur
man. It was shown tha* the six-mill
rate would bring practically $832,000
next year, and the expense of the coun
ty will be $733,000. This would leave
nearly SIOO,OOO to be used to meet pay
ments on the court house work
, General Anderson, who figured that
the court house will require $200,000 for
work until next September, advised
that a raise of one mill be fixed. A
lengthy discussion followed and the in
crease was lowered to the half mill now
in effect.
The commissioners decided that no
large additional income could be ex
pected from the increased value of es
tates in the county. They declared that
the current expenses increase almost as
rapidly as the increase of income. It
was at his juncture that the state leg
islature was made responsible for a
part of the annual increase of expense.
No Provision For Employees.
In the budget of expenditures com
piled no provision whatev erywHs made
to pay the county employees next year.
Under the new fee system, in effect
January 1, the county is forbidden to
pay' the ortieials except with money de
rived from tees.
The commissioners, passed a motion
that the increase from the additional
half mill tax shall be used for court
house work exclusively. They provid
ed that $150,000 be set aside for pay
ment on the building, it will be com
pleted early in 1915, according to re
ports of the contractors, and at that
time the commissioners think it will be
possible to meet the county's obliga
tions at a much lower tax rate than is
in effect now.

'SEARCH I NG SIDELIGHTS’ "
1 ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
B ATEArtB
Running for of
fice in Georgia is
' | an expensive pas
time. luxury, hab.
it, or whatever
one chooses to vail
it. * .
It is too expen
sive, that’s all —
and everybody,
knows it!
The total 'of the
late primary ex
penses listed, win
ners and losers,
, runs away over
$150,000.
That is about $1
fore ach vote
cast'
And not all the
expenses were listed, at that. It is
impossible to list them all, even the
direct expenses.
The indirect expense is purely specu
lative.
And the election —the real election —
has not yet been held!
It will cost another $5p,000 easily.
J
There were three candidates for gov
ernor, some twenty candidates for state
house offices, some thirty candidates
for solicitor general and judge, twenty
candidates for congress, two candidates
for the United States senate, more than
seventy candidates for state senator,
and some two hundred and fifty candi
dates for the house of representatives.
In numerous instances, the unsuc
cessful candidates spent more than
those who won.
One candidate for the house in south
Georgia gave in his election expenses
at $199. His salary fqr the first session
will be S2OO. He broke $1 to the good
on the cost of getting elected!
And the expense of tunning for of
fice may run riot to an even greater
extent than it did jn the August pri
mary. and still be strictly "legitimate!"
Something inevitably' is wrong some
where. somehow, with a system that
works out that way.'
It presents a problem that can be
solved by patriots . only—by citizens
with no ulterior motives to serve in tlie
solving.
As it stands, it generally is ap
proached for consideration from one of
two angles—from the standpoint of the
demagogue who uses it as a thing upon
which to predicate a cheap appeal to
| the people, or from the standpoint of
an interested person or thing, inclined
to be "conservative” in idealsand never
desiring to "view" anything whatever
"with alarm.' -
Relief would come in part if tile state
would agree to pay the direct expense
t of the primary—as U should.
Further relief would come, perhaps,
if, by law. Tatididates were restricted
in their expenditures to a certain pro
portion of the compensation attaching
to the office sought.
It ought not to be necessary for a
man to be able to spend from $15,000
to $30,000 before he may aspire to the
governorship—either money of his own.
Mr. W. S. Gunsalus, a farmer living
near Fleming, Pa., says he has used
Chamberlain’s Colie. Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy in his family for four
teen years, and that he has found it to
■be an excellent remedy, and takes
pleasure in recommending it. For sale

One dollar per vote east is tor, ,
a price for candidates to be called upon
to put up for political consideratioi -
and the presnt price, if the real tru-h
is told, is pretty well over $1 per v , [P '
The question of polities is taken .<
together too seriously by a lot of p ,.
pie, anyway.
In considering the question of pover
ty, Addison says;
"Laertes and Irus are neighbors
whose ways of living are an abom
ination to each'other. Irus is mover!
i by fear of poverty, and Laertes by
shanie of it. Though the motive of
action is of so near affinity, in both
and may be resolved to this. 'Tha:
to each of them poverty is tli
greatest of evils,' yet their manner
’ are widely different. Shame of pm .
erty makes Laertes launch into un
’necessary expense and lavish en
tertainments; fear of poverty
makes irus allow himself only plain
necessaries, appear without a serv
ant. sell his own cqrn. attend h =
labors and be himself a laborer
Shame of poverty makes Laertes
go every day a step nearer to it
and fear of poverty stirs up Irus to
make every day some further prog
\ ress from it.”
1 Obviously, it is not necessary that
a man be moved either by the fear m
the shame, of poverty—and no real phi
losopher is, perhaps.
1 Why. then, should a candidate wit
a conscience be moved either by the
t fear or the shame of defeat ?
