"The nstonishing statement cred
ited to Tax Commissioner Hart, ad
visedly made, and published in The
Atlanta Sunday American, to the ef
fect that not exceeding one-seventh
of the property value of the State is
on the tax digest is not doubted in
the least by those who are well in
formed as to condition" in my par-
u «r section of tho State,” Mud *
uri'-known citizen and taxpayer of
Fort Valley to-day.
11 IS estimated that the total value
of the property of Houston County
re- irned to thp tax receiver and now
on the collector’s digest is $3,08O,h87
when. In fact, the true value of the
properly in the county Is near, if not
quite, $25,000,000.
"The tax rate has been fixed at $18
per thousand, and even at this rate
It will require an economical admin
istration of the county's affairs to
meet the necessary exi*enditures, but
it is hoped that s remedy will be
found in the operation of the new law
in reference to the appolntment of
tax equalizers, which goes into ef
fect next year.
“The Hoard of County Commission
ers «»f Houston meats in regular
monthly session In Perry to-day, and
among the matters that will engage
Ihei attention uimueationablj th«-
most important is the selection of
the three equalizers, as required by
the law. It is the intention of the
board to appoint men who are compe
tent properly to interpret the intent
and carry out the expressed provi
sions of the law, thus entailing a
hardship upon no one, but placing the
burden of taxation where it properly
belongs. The members of the board
realize that the value of the law to
the State rests entirely with Its prop
er administration through the work
of the equalizers, and to the accom
plishment of that end will endeavor to
secure those best qualified.”
The investigations of Judge Hart
have reveaeld the fact that similar
conditions to those in Houston exist
all over Georgia, and that there Is a
desire upon the part of the people To
see them remedied. He believes the
law will effect a great general reform
in Georgia, and that within a year or
two everybody will be heartily in fa
vor of it He expects it to accom
plish two desired things eventually—
first, to increase greatly the income of
the State, and. second, to reduce the
tax rate.
iticians in this State have been eX- I
ed to the office on a platform deolax- '

this delicacy, that f everybody in *he 1

Compt roller General William A
Wright has sent the following letter
to all Tax Collectors In Georgia
“To the Tax Collectors of Georgia
Gentlemen: I am advised by the Gov
ernor and State Treasurer that the
State is in urgent need of funds with
which to meet heavy drafts <>n the
Treasury which will be made between
now and the first of January It
will, therefore, he necessary for you
to press collections an rapidly a-s pos
sible. The law requires that all taxes
due the State shall be paid by the
20th of December of each year. Ex
plain this to the taxpayers of your
county, and urge that they make
prrtmpt settlement, of their taxes,
which you will please remit without
waiting for the first Monday in Jan
uary. in order that the Treasurer may
be able to meet all demands as they
mature."
Both the Governor and the Comp
troller are particularly anxious to get
this year’s taxes in hand as early as
possible, in order to avoid treasury
embarrassments later along, and ev
ery taxpayer who settles up, there
fore. before January 1. at the outside,
will be doing, in the opinion of the
Governor and the Comptroller, a gen

In an appeal for public co-opera
tion for the Men and Religion For
ward Movement Dr. John E. White,
pastor of the Second Baptist Church,
declared Wednesday that Atlanta’s
example in reforming itR civic life
has been felt througout the entire
country. Dr. White says that the
record of accomplishment is unparal
leled.
"Eighteen months ago the Evan
gelical Ministers' Association of At
lanta. representing churches with a
membership of more than 40,000 white
people in Atlanta, unanimously ac
cepted responsibility and control of
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment program, paid Dr. White.
"Fifteen months ago the pastor*
of the evangelical churches, over their
individual signatures (published as
Men and Religion Bulletin No. 6).
pledged their confidence and devotion
to the executive committee in an ef
fort to make an end of intolerable
social evil in Atlanta.
Points Out Results.
“We now come to challenge the at
tention of the Christian public and
of the entire citizenship of Atlanta to
the actual results which, since that
recent date, have been achieved for
the moral progress of Atlanta and hu
manity through the executive com
mittee of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement.
“We submit that for actual con
structive accomplishment in so short
a time the record of facts is unpar
alleled.
“First, the Daily Vacation Bible
School program has been firmly es
tablished Two thousand five hun
dred and eighty children, mostly
alien to the churches, have been gath
ered for five weeks in elementary Bi
ble study and praotical handicraft
under the direction of 57 consecrated
Christian teachers Plans now in
hand provide for 5,000 children with
100 teachers next summer.
“Second, a revolution lias been
wrought in the attitiide of Atlanta
toward the traffic in vice. The pro
tected houses of prostitution have
been abolished. Atlanta is placed on
the hilltop of country-wide admira
tion for the most thoroughgoing and
successful dealing with vice ever
achieved in an American city We
have dealt constructively and sys
tematically with the consequences fol
lowing the overthrow of capitalized
and professional traffic in woman
hood We have dealt in Christian
helpfulness and unstinted brotherli-
ness with 182 unfortunate girls and
women.
Homes for Wayward.
"We have established the Martha's
Home for Wayward Girls at a cost
of $12,500 for property and main
tenance.
"Through the County Commission
ers of Fulton County we have secured
the establishment of a home for In
corrigible females which is now in
the course of erection on land set
apart for this purpose.
"We have secured through the
Georgia Legislature the Georgia
Training School for Girls, with an
Initial appropriation of $20,000 from
the State.
Third. Through our Prison Reform
Department, under the direction of
Philip Weltner. we have wrought the
beginning of a new day jn the treat
ment of prisoners in Georgia by se
curing on our statute books the pro
bation law for first offenders.
"We have successfully appealed to
the Prison < ’ommisslon for on order
abolishing the custom of indiscrim
inate desecration of prisoners by
convict stripes
"Fourth. Joining Hands with the
forces of organized labor, we have
defeated a determined effort to over
throw the Christian Rabbath in At
lanta by opening theaters on Sunday,
which was carefully aimed a a the
opening wedge to a general desecra
tion of the day of rest in our city
Other Towns Follow Lead.
"This bare summary of actualized
results poorly tells what has been
really achieved.
"The far-reaching effects of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
work In Atlanta have been felt
throughout the country.
