“Only two State* in the Union at
tempt to >*olve the common-school
problem with ereat lump sums appro
priated out of the State Treasury.
Mississippi is one and Georgia Is the
other; and the rank of these two
Staten in the column of illiteracy is
forty-fifth and forty-sixth. During
the last twenty years he common-
school appropriation of Georgia has
been marly quadrupled, but Geor
gia's place In the illiteracy column
remains exactly the same!
"Ours is a mia’aken policy. Noth
in is cl »ror than this. The com
mon-school problem can not be solve l
In this way. It never was solved this

“Local taxation for schools has be

and this ought to be said bravely and

“There ar* I suspect; many hun-
dieds of automobiles in Georgia that

they were gdilty of a misdemeanor in
this matter, l feel sure they would
apply and get their tags,” said Sec
retary of State Phil Gook to-day.

however, am not the man to whom
these reports should he made If
they are made to the Sheriff of the

“There is another very widespread |
misapprehension about the automo
bile law that is going to get some
body Into trouble sooner or later, and
this should be regulated, too. Many ,
people seem to think that the State [
gi\es a courtesy of 30 days to all oars

tag of another State. The State does .
do that, provided the owner of the '
car is a non-resident and is simply 1

WASHINGTON, Dec. U. Absolute

of revolutionary societies in Russia
and other foreign countries, is pro
vided under an amendment secretly
adopted by the House Immigration
Committee to the pending immigra

When the adoption of this amend
ment became known here tills after
noon it caused the utmost surprise.
Its acceptance by Congress would pre
vent the United States be< omlng a
haven for political refugees.
The amendment debars from the
United States all persons believing in
the destruction property or be

proptsed by a committee of cither
house.
Representative James Manahan, of
Minnesota, Progressive Republican,

Representative A. P. Gardner, recent
ly a Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, is reported
to have voted for It, along with the
Democratic majority. Representative
Burnett, of Alabama, is chairman of
the committee.
This attempt to abolish the tradi
tional “right of asylum" for political
radicals fleeing from foreign lands to
the United States is expected to
arouse instant protest throughout the
country. When the Immigration hill
