Believers in Sabotage and Mem
bers of Revolutionary Societies
Under Ban in Bill.
W ASHINGTON. De< 11’ Absolute
e&rlunlon of militant Mitfifragis;« be -
ilevers in sabotage and all members
of revolutionary societies in Russia
and other foreign countries, is pro
vided under an a metro men t secretly
• dopted by flie House Immigration
Committee to tho 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 a
haven for political refugees.
The amendment debars from the
United State* all persons believing in
fbe destruction of property or be
longing to revolutionary organi/.a
none. It is the most sweeping ever
proposed by a committee of either
house.
Representative James Martaban, of
Minnesota, Progressive Republican,
led the fight against the amendment.
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
Rurnett. of Alabama, is chairman of
the committee.
Tills attempt to abolish the tradi
tional “right of asylum" for political
radicals fleeing from foreign lands to
the United Plates Is expected to
arouse instant protest throughout the
country. When the immigration bill
was before the Senate lasrt year, Sen
a tor La Toilette attacked Senator
Root for having placed in the bill a
mild provision which might exclude
revolutionists.

‘There are 1 suspect, many bun
dled s of automobiles in Georgia that
are not properly licensed and n um
bered, and . f the owners thereof knew
they were guilty of a misdemeanor in
this matter, I feel mire they would
apply and get their tugs.’’ said Sec
retary of State Phil (‘ook to-day.

one town albne IDi unlicensed oars. I
however am not. the man to whom
these reports should be made If
they are made to the Sheriff of the
county it will be his dut> to arrest
the owners of unnumbered cars.
“The punishment for using un un
licensed car Is $1,000 fine or twelve.'
mrnths in the chaingung, either or
both, or any part of either or both ! 1
do not think there should be a single
ui numbered car in the State, and »
few arrest* would bring about such a
condition, ! feel sure.
“We have issued nearly 24,000 num
bers so far, and I guess we should
have issued over 25,000.
“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
gives a courtesy of 30 days to all cars
brought into the State hearing the
lag of another State The State does
do that, provided the owner of the
car is a non-resident and Is simply
sojourning in Georgia temporarily
But if the owner of the car lives in
Georgia he has no courtesy extended
to him, 30 days or otherwise he Is
Immediately subject to tax.
Sometimes people buy cars in, say,
Alabama, and they come into Georgia
bearing Alabama tags. These tags
are no good in Georgia if the owners
of such cars live here The 30 days’
courtesy merely applies ?o outsiders
visiting in Georgia, and If they re
main more than 3o days they must
get a Georgia number

Miss Constance Schley, a graduate
of the Georgia Normal School and an
authority on educational matters,
rather severely arraigns the common
school system of Georgia in a recent
statement. and what she says, whim
it will not be agreed to in all quar
ters, nevertheless will command r*
spect generally. There are a good
many people who realize that there G
much truth, in part, at least, In what
1 she says.
In part. Miss Schley says:
“Almost the first indication that n
• people manifests of awakening In-
! terest in children is their willingness
j to tax themselves locally and liberal-
j !y for better schools, better achooW
houses, better teachers and bettor
j teaching.
“The school of permanent influ
ence is dependent upon local pride,
local Initiative, local self -sacrifice and
local ‘ax in behaJf of good schools*
and tiie problem can be nllved in no
other way ||
< n, two Statu a Union at
tempt to solve the common-school
problem with great lump sums appro
priated out of the Treasury.
Mississippi is one and Georgia is th-
other; and the rank of these two
State** in the column of illiteracy is
fortv-flfth and fori> r sixth. During
the last twenty years the 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 mistaken policy. Noth
in is cl.arer than this. The com
mon-school problem < an. not be solve 1
i i h wa v. It .. .. J
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 still mainly upon legislative
approprla lions.
The policy is futile and foolish,
and this ought to be said bravely and
convincingly In every community in
Georgia.
“We shall never have country
schools of permanent influence with
out til local pride that is equal to a
local school lax. Twenty-nine coun
ties of the State have county-wide
local-tax school systems There ougnt
to be 148 such counties in Georgia, all
of them under adequate, efficient su
pervision.”
The Governor has been requested
to increase the G«x>rgia committee on
next year’s world-wide celebration of
the peace pact of Ghent—whereby
war was concluded between England
and the United States, following the
unpleasantness of 1812- from five to
rtft v- or a hundred.
This committee was named origi
nally several years ago by OovernoT
Joseph M. Terrell, but since that time
the scope of the proposed celebration
has been very greatly widened, and it
is the very earnest desire of its pro
moters to make it of as great signifi
cance aa possible.
The Governor will comply with the
request and will name two or more
members from each Senatorial dis
trict in the State. After the com
mittee lias be>u named those at the
head of the movement will Inform
the committeemen of the program as |
at present outlined and as to the i
work vet remaining to be done.
