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.

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 Governor Slaton reached Atlanta Thursday afternoon from a ten days’ visit to New York. lie is in the ex ecutive offices of the Capitol to-da.v 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.

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.
