Believers in Sabotage and Mem
bers of Revolutionary Societies
Under Ban in Bill,
WASHINGTON, IV* 12. —Abiiolute
exclusion of militant suffrnKi*‘H, be
lievers in snbotago and all members
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
tion bill.
When the adoption of this amend
ment became known here this after
noon it caused the utmost surprise
Its acceptance by Congress would pre
vent the United States becoming
haven for political refugees.
The amendment debars from the
United States all persons believing in
the destruction of property or be
longing to revolutionary organi/u
lions. It is the most sweeping ever
proposed by a committee of either
house
Representative James Manahan, of
Minnesota, Progressive Republican,
led the tight against the amendment.
Representative A. I*. Gardner, recent
ly a Re[>ubllean 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 State* is expected t«»
arouse instant protest throughout the
<*ountry. When the Immigration bill
was before the Penate last year. Sen
ator La Follstt© attacked Senator
Root for having placed in the bill

"There are, I suspect, many hun-
dfcds of automobiles in Georgia that
are not properly licensed and num
bered, and if the owners thereof knew
thc»> were guilty of a misdemeanor in
this matter, I feel sure they would
apply and get their tags," wild Sec
retary of State I'liil Cook to-day.
"I have had reported to me from
on* town alone 26 unlicensed cars. I.
however, urn not the inan to whom
thssn reports should he made. If
they are made to the Sheriff of the
county It will he his duty to arrest
the owners of unnumbered cars.
"The punishment for using an un
housed car is 11,000 fine or twelve
m« nths In the ohaingang, either or
both, or any part of either or both. I •
no not think there should be a single
ui numbered car In the State, and a j
few arrests would bring about such a !
condition, I feel sure.
"We have Issued nearly 24.000 num- j
hers wo far, and 1 guess wo should
have Issued over 2.'.,000.
"There Is another very widespread |
misapprehension about the automo
bile law that Is going to get sorne-
body into trouble sooner <>r later, and j
this should he regulated, too. Many j
people seem to think that the State,
gi\es a courtesy of -10 days t«» all cari i
brought Into the State hearing the
t).g of another State. The State does |
do that, provided the owner of the ■
car is a non-resident and Is simply j
sojourning in Georgia temporarily..
Rut if the owner of the car live* in !
Georgia he has no courtesy extended 1
to him, 3ft days or otherwise—he ia j
immediately subject to tax.
‘ Sometimes people buy cars In, say, I
Alabama, and they come Into Georgia |
bearing Alabama tugs. These tags i
are no good in Georgia if the owners I
of such cars live here. The 30 days’
Courtesy merely applies to outsiders J
visiting in Georgia, and if they re
main more than 30 days they must
get a Georgia number.”

local tax in behalf of good school J ’
and the problem can he solved in no
other way.
"Only two State* in the Union at
tempt to eolve the common-school
problem with great lump sums appro
priated out of the State Treasury.
Mississippi is one and Georgia Is the
other; and the rank of Ihese two
States In the column of illiteracy i*
forty-fifth and forty-sixth. During
the last twenty years • common-
school appropriation <>f Georgia has
been nearly quadrupled, hut Geor
gias place In the Illiteracy column
remains exactly the same!
"Ours is a mln’uken policy. Noth
in is 1 arer than this. The com
mon school problem can not be solve!
in this way. It never whs solved this
way in any State of the Union.
"Local taxation for schools has be
gun in Georgia and local school sys
tems are multiplying, but our reli
ance is htlll mainly upon legislative
a pproprlations.
"The policy is futile and foolish,
and this ought to he said bravely and
convincingly in every community in
Georgia.
"We shall never have country

local school tax. Twenty-nine coun
ties of the State have county-wide
local-tax school systems There ougnt

The Governor hah been requested
to increase the Georgia committee *>n
next year’s world-wide celebration of
the peace pact of Ghent —whereby
war was concluded between England
and the United Htates. following the
unpleasantneas of 1812—from flvs to
riftv or a hundred.
Th's committee was named origi
nally several years ago by Govern of
Joseph M. Terrell, but since that time
the scope of the proposed celebration
has been very greatly widened, and it
Is the very earnest dewire of Its pro
moters to make It of as great signlfl-
eance as possible
The Governor will comply with the
request and will name two or more
member* from each Senatorial dis
trict in the State. After the com
mlttee has been named those at the
head of the movement will inform
the committeemen of the program ai

work yet remaining to he done.
