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- ' irig merely for the upramscv j Georgia cane syrup.

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 uinely patriotic ami helpful service to the State.

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. ATLANTA t ° "'ght All Week—Matinee, Wed.
