I.A ORANGE, July 24—Members of the Georgia Weekly Press Associa tion left LaGrange this morning for Brunswick. still" difcussing Governor John Marshall Slaton’s scathing ar raignment of Georgia’s tax syetem 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 hlRtory of the Sta^e. He 5«id 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. “We must admit it is indefensible to maintain a system that pays its teachers a year after their work 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 tax levy. In two years, the Treasurer savs. 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 civilization depends—under our system find no ray of hope from the Injustice they suffer. Recommends Special Taxes. "While unpleasant to do, I have recommended a levy--an extra tax of 1 mill for 1915, and 1-2 mill in 1916, ns the brave way to get relief. The tax payer will find it the best trade he ever made It would prevent the im position of drastic taxing laws, the defic it in the treasury would be satis fied. the Stnte could say to purohn.<-*ers of her bond** that she is on a solid financial basis, her teachers would be paid, and the kiting policy, which is 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 hearing 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 eliy and at St. Simons Island, where the Sec ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.

Mistress, in Atlanta on Visit, Can 1 Not Trust Feline Aristocrat to Butcher Shop Diet. Bricks and eggs and live stock have become common enough as mail mat ter within the past few months, but never until Miss Bessie Butler came to Atlanta had Uncle Sam’s parcel post served as a dumb waiter for a cat! • Down at Madison. Ga., a big aristo cratic Thomas cat—by name, "Mc- Curry"—getp his breakfast every day by parcel post, all the way from 513 Peachtree street, where Miss Butler is visiting Mrs. A. Cunningham. "McCurry” is Miss Butler’s most priceless possession, and when she came to Atlanta she left instructions that the cat must be fed large, man- size pork chops each day. She gave this order to a butcher, with the in evitable result. Poor "McOurry’s" chops soon took on the appearance of a large piece of bone surrounded by a meaty atmos phere. and the cat got dyspepsia and developed a crabbed disposition. He lost his zest in life—all nine of him— and was peevish and poor company. The sad news of "McCurry’s” con- di'ion was written to Miss Butler by a friend. It seemed that unless* some thing was done at once the cat would die—it was feared he would break all his teeth trying to eat the bones the butcher said were chops. So Mi»p Butler has invoked the aid of Uncle Sam She gathers up all the scraps of meat that are left when the Cunningham meal is over, and each night she packs them into a shoe box ami forward." them to her friend in Madison, who feeds them to the cat the next morning. The unique method of feeding her pet has been going on for several days now—and latest advices from the front are that the cat is doing well and taking oji weight.
