W V I v .*>. THE ATLANT V GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TEXTILE MAKERS 7 H£l?e AT LAST I'LL PROPOSE TONIGHT OR Dlt IN THE ATTEMPT'.'. Petition to Congress Asserts! Democrats Forget Pledges and Industry Will Suffer. WASHINGTON, July 24 —A petition irtgnsd by more than 60 leading cotton I manufacturing - and distributing firms in the United States. protecting against the cotton tariff rates In the bill now under consideration in th" Senate, has been presented to both Houses of Congress The petition reads as follows. We herewith voice our protest againit the enactment Into law of the unequal provisions covering cotton textiles, as disclosed by the various proposed rates published July 11, 1913, embodied in the bill passed by the House of Represen' tatlves and amended by the Sen ate majority (Democratic) cau cus. The Democratic platform de clared and promised: "We recognise that our system of tariff taxation is Intimately connected with tne business of the country, and we favor the ultimate attainment of the prin ciples we advocate by legislation that will not injure or destroy legitimate industry." Say Business Will Suffer. First. We can not reconcile this with the low rates now pro posed, which In many instances must Injure legitimate industry. Second. We point out that we fairly represent the primary and other distributors of cotton tex tiles. handling productions of both North and South which go to every city, town and village In the United States Third. The rates generally are below what they should -be. The amendments made are inadequate to fix competitive rates in ac cordance with the promisee of the Democratic platform. Fourth. As we understand it, the purposes of the tariff revision generally were to reduce duties, but not to disturb or Inflict pun ishment on any branch of legiti mate Industry, and there has been no demand to overdo the reduc tion. especially in cotton textiles, as in many instances is the case. Fifth. Some illustrations: Fail ure to provide higher adequate rates for cotton textiles made of combed yarns than if made of ordinary yarns, or higher ade quate for finished plain woven or figured cloths than for grey; put ting rates for Jacquards on same basis as for ordinary cloths, and actually omitting jacquards in Senate amendments, etc., etc. Offered Non - Destructive Rates. Sixth. We Indorse the effort of the Independent Manufacturers of New England, who have will ingly accepted great reductions, but asked that consistent and non-destructive rates, If on a competitive basis, should prevail. We believe that they have pointed out the lowest possible competitive rates which in opera tion would be consistent and fair to the different branches of the industry—North and South. We do not comprehend why their rec ommendations have not been, re ceived in the spirit given. Seventh. We point out that it is better to err on » e vide or safety than to subject t* § Industry at this time to th-' proposed rates more especially on productions of from medium to better grades of goods. We deplore the discrimination that subjects the cotton "textile trade to these needle Jit hardships Hardy Elected Head Of Retail Merchants At the meeting of the Retail Mer chants’ Association of Georgia, con cluded Wednesday evening, the fol lowing were elected officers: J.

EDITORS OFF FOR E Leave LaGrange Discussing Gov ernor’s Arraignment of Geir- gia’s Antiquated Tax System. LA GRANGE, July 24.—Mi nbers of the Georgia Weekly Press As tocU tlon left LaGrange this morning for Brunswick, still discussing Governor John Marshall Slaton’s scathing ar raignment of Georgia’s tax system at the annual banquet of the association Wednesday night. The Governor ap pealed to the editors for aid in what he declared to be the most serious financial crisis In the history of the State. He paid that Georgia’s tax system and reckless spending by the Legislature have brought about pres ent conditions, when the State finds Itself unable to pay Its school-teach ers. m "We must admit It is indefensible to maintain a system that pay.** its teachers a year after their w’ork has been performed,” Governor Slaton said. "It Is pleasant to spend money and hard to make it. We love to ap propriate, yet shrink from the lax levy. In two years, the Treasurer says, we have spent nearly three- quarters of a million more than our Income. The teachers—patient and hard-working—-‘teaching during the day and working examinations at night—molding the characters and training the minds of those upon whom our civilisation depends—under our system find no ray of hope from the injustice they suffer. Recommends 8pecial Taxes. “While unpleasant to do. I have recommended a levy—an extra tax of 1 mill for 1915. and t-2 mill In 1916, ns the brave way to get relief The tax payer wifi find it the best trade he over made It would prevent the im position of drastic taxing laws, the deficit In the treasury would be satis fied, the State could say to purchasers of her bonde that she is on a solid financial basis, her teachers would be paid, and the kiting policy, which 1s opposed to all sound principle, would be abolished.” Governor Slaton emphatically de clared himself In favor of the plan of equalization of taxes that has been recommended by the Legislature. Favors Tax Equalization. "Is not equalization Just that re quires all to pay the same percent age?” he asked "Is it right that one many pays on 16 per cent of the value of his property when another pays on 40? An increase of 20 per cent, by simply equalizing the burden, not in creasing that of him who is already bearing his part, would produce an abundance of revenue for every legiti mate purpose.” The editors will arrive at Bruns wick this afternoon and enjoy an out- ing of several days in that city and at St, Simons Island, where the Sec ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.

While hundred.® of pedestrians, many of them women and children, looked on, two men engaged in a stabbing affray on Peachtree street across from the Candler Building Thursday morning.

Ware, who voluntarily surrendered to Policeman Bostwlck, declared that "he had cut him because he wanted to cut him.” Other than that, he re fused to give an explanation of his action. Ware used a pocket knife as his weapon. According to Goodman, Ware at tacked him without provocation. "I was walking down the street with a friend, when Ware came up to me and without a word began striking at me with a knife. I dodged his blows as well as I could and tried to run, but the knife caught me twice across the face. Then I got away and ran, but Ware followed me. If It had not been for someone stopping him he would hove killed me, I believe.” Bet Given as Cause of Fight. The affair Is said to have been the result of an argument over a "book" on a baseball game. According to In formation given the police, Ware on Wednesday made a bet with Good man of $125 on the game played that afternoon. It was said that Goodman w'as ac customed to making "books” on base ball games, and that Ware, in lieu of the cash to put up, posted a $20 for feit to cover his bet. According to the report, Ware failed to put up the remaining $105 before the game was played, and when the team which he bet on won, and he at tempted to collect the bet from Good- Tnan. the bookmaker refused to pay- The twm aro declared to have had some difficulty at that time, but re frained from violence.
