12 JJlh ATLANTA UbUiiUJ AN AND NLW.S. GE0REI1 IN Executive Declares Section Is En joying Its Greatest Period of Prosperity Since War. SlDtUGHTS GEORGIA POLITICS JAMIS B. NEVTN NEW YORK, Dec 3. The N-w York American prints th« following j to-day “Georgia i« probably this ear the most prosperous State in tin- I'nion. j declared Governor John M Slaton, of j Georgia, yesterday at thi Waldorf- | Astoria. “This is no exaggeration. The vice j president of the National Park Bank j of this city, which ha» been the cor respondent for the State of Georgia for many years, remarked to me .o- day that lie could assort conserva tively that Georgia was more pros perous than any other Stale 'The cotton crop has been enor mous one bale for every man. woman -ind child ii th Btata, bUp k <<r n h! 1 ■ In other States the production of cotton has been limited. In conse quence, the price is high, and Geor gia is getting the benefits of bumper crops and high prices. Tells of Products. "We have also raised this year more foodstuff than ever before and do not have to rely, as heretofore, upon the Western States. We produced eighty million bushels of corn. Just be fore 1 came to New York 1 had am ple. opportunity to learn the situation by personal observation. I made a tour of the State, visiting the county fairs. "Everybody in Georgia has con tributed to the year's prosperity. While the farmer exhibited his cot ton and corn and products of ;hs smokehouse. Ills wife exhibited her preserves, pickles, sauces, Jellies, et . and the girls in the canning club* showed how they make as high as $150 out of one-tenth of an acre.” Governor Slaton became enthu siastic when asked if & lentific farm ing was being introduced In his State. Our agricultural colleges an* do ing great work in that direction.” he replied. 'The results are more than grat ifying. Should the boll weevil invade Georgia an it has Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, we will »« prepared to meet the situation by early planted cotton, b> getting the most resistive cotton and by diver sification of the > rops. Atmosphore of Good Cheer Reverting to the prosperity of the farmers, Governor Slaton said that his only fear was that they might become extravagant in the prodigality of their resources. “1 come from an atmosphere of Optimism and good cheer," he as serted. “The Atlanta Georgian. Mr. Hears! s paper In our State, is popular and prospering.” he said. 'll knows the ideals "<* the people and their aspi rations. It has always been prompt In rendering assistance to the needy of Atlanta and the Slate of Georgia, purely from a patriotic standpoint, and 1 am glad to pay this tribute to It." When asked the object of his visit to New York Governor Slaton said it related to legislation to be passed.'to refund $3.*79,0000 of the State Indebt edness which falls due in the sum mer of 1915. Confidence in State. “Our Constitution does not permit the creation of any State debt at all." he said, “nor does It permit the in crease of the bonded indebtedness We have reduced the bonds from $11,000- 000 to $6,000,000; and we have a rail road running from Atlanta to Chat tanooga that is pledged by the Con stitution for anv debt of the Hta'e So you will perceive that wo respect our obligations and have ample se curity. "But what Is equal to It all Is the product 1n the form of manhood. Host Hummer when I wished to borrow half a million dollars for the State uni 11 the taxes came 1n, the bankers were paying 6 per cent in New York. The hankers in Georgia loaned the money to me for 3 per cent, indicating their patriotism and absolute confidence In the Slate." Women Suddenly Scorn Election Jobs CHICAGO, Dec 8 When a score of women applicants for jolvs as elec tion clerks in the next municipal elec tion learned that they would he com pelled to w ork at night exploring pre clnota to check up voters, they no tified Judge Owens that they did not want the positions. >p< pr« nishing statement ered- Commiasioner Hart, n.d- ». and pimlished in The lay American, to the ef- t exceeding ono-»eventh rty value of the State Ih ligest is not doubted ill e bos; by those who are well In- med ai to oottdlt low Ip my ptr ular section of the State,” said a -b - known'citizen and taxpayer of »rt Valley to-day. It is < tlmated that the total value t )• property of Houston County turned to the tax receiver and now* the collector's (ligest is $3,080,037 ten, in fact, the true value of the perty in the county is near, if not quite, $25,000,000. “The tax rote has been fixed at $18 per thousand, and even at this rate it will require an economical admin istration c»f the county’s affairs to meet the necessary expenditures, but It is hoped that a remedy will be found In the operation of the new law in reference to the appointment of tax equalizers, which goes Into ef fect next year. “The Board of County Commission- era of Houston meets in regular monthly session In Perry to-day, and among th# matters that will engage their attention unquestionably the most important is the selection of the threr 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 Stab* 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 reveadd the fact that similar conditions lo those In Houston exist all over Georgia, and !h:it 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 r 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. Or. Harvey W.

It Will, therefore, be necessary for you to press collections as rapidly ns 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 prompt 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 aide 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 treason' 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 and helpful service to the State.

BRIEF VISIT Unannounced and unattended, Prince Julius Nicholas Loudowensky, a member of the Russj^m nobility, with his wife, visited Atlanta Wed nesday morning. With the princess, the prince walked from the Terminal Station to Peachtree street and up through the shopping district to the Carnegie Library. The princess stopped In a dry goods store and purchased a 25-cent box of face powder. Prince Loudowensky Is connected with the government library, and lives at No. 26 The Strauevous. 9t. Petersburg, Russia. With his wife, he has been in America for eight months. They have just returned from the West and left Wednesday noon for New York on the Southern. To the Imaginative public, the Russian noble would have been mis taken for a Cincinnati barkeeper. He says so himself, and smilingly ad mits that he knows what they look like. Prince Load o wen sky is neither tall, handsome nor the wearer of a Van- Dyke beard. Instead, he is short, fat and wears a wee bit of whiskers on his chin and a small mustache. "I like America very much,” said Prince Loudowensky. “What I saw of Atlanta looked very business-like, and everybody was hustling here and there as though in a great hurry. “But that is typical of Americans —they all seem in such a hurry to do things, but—” he added “Your President isn’t hurrying the Mexican situation,” and the prince laughed, but refused to express him self further on this point. His wife was a motherly looking little lady, and proudly announced that she has three children waiting for her in St. Petersburg. "I will be glad to get back to them,” she declared. Both the prince and his wife speak excellent English, as well as Ger man, French and Spanish. Prince Loudowensky is 47 years old. They will return to Russia in the next two months. 63,890,891 Attend St. Louis 'Movies' ST.
