Proposed Measure Provides for
Local Taxation and Equaliza
tion of Funds.
G. Ogden Persons, of Forsyth,
president of the Senate, was in At
lanta Friiay searching for data to
be used in the preparation of a pro
posed bill providing for local taxa
tion purely for local school support,
which he expects to offer in the Leg
islature this sessign.
“The purpose of the tax is to sup
plement the State educational fund,”
saild Senator Persons. “Under the
present law there are only 39 coun
ties out of the 152 that are taxing
themselves, and the effect {s that the
counties that are not taxing them
selves, or the majority of them, are
recelving more from the State treas
ury than they are paying into it.
“The plan of the bill is to limit
the amount that the Stats will pay
for public education by fixing a mill
tax on all State property, which will
be permanently set aside for the pur
pose of education. This will be sup
plemented by a local tax of a mini
mum amount with a right in the
county boards of education to in
trease to a maximum amount, ac
cording to local necessities; the two
funds—the State and the county—to
constitute an educational fund for
the counties.
“This plan will permit of develop
ing higher school instruction under
the provisions of the constitutional
amendment which I obtained the rat
ification of in 1910, permiting rural
schools to teach high school grades.
This will for the first time perfect a
systematic educational plan through
out the State, but would not affect
any local systems provided for by
special act. But those systems would
receive their equitable share of the
entire fund raised in the respective
counties .n which they are located.
“This plan Is found to be abso
lutely necessary in practically all of
the States of the Union. and its adop
tion by Georgia would only be in keep
ing with the educational progress of‘
the other States. It also would be
r great aid toward the adoption of
a vigorous compulsory educational
bill which would wipe out illiteracy
among the white children of Geor
zia.” ‘

and began the practice of law. He
was census enumerator in 1830, 1890,

He has been married for 60 yvears
and his wife is 80 years old. He has
been a Baptist church member for
over a half century, and has been
everything in the Sunday school from

Every Manufacturer Will Suffer if
Railroad Commission Allows
Schedule to Stand.
Every manufacturer using lumber
in his product and every person who
is building or contemplating building
with lumber will be adversely af
fected by the new intrastate freight
rates proposed by the railroads of
Georgla, if the Railroad Commission
allows the railroads to put them in
effect, according to flgures given out
by the statistical bureau of the
g}eorgla. Shippers’ Assoclation Fri
ay.
The bureau makes the following
comparisons between the present
intrastate freight rates on common
lumber in carload lots and the new
rates proposed by the railroads in
their petition now on file before the
Railrecad Commis!ion:
The present rate for a distance of
25 miles is 3.33 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose a rate of §
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of 50 per cent. Under the present
rate, the cost of shipping a 30,000-
pound carload of common lumber 25
miles is $lO. Under the proposed new
rate the cost would be sls.
The present rate for a distance ot
50 miles is 6.16 cents per 100 pounds.
The rallroads propose a rate of 6.5
cents per 100 pounds or an increase
of 66 per cent. Under the present
rate the cost of shipping a 30,000-
pound carload of common lumber 50
miles is $12.48. Under the proposed
new rate the cost would be $19.50.
The present rate for a distance of
100 miles is 6.25 cents per 100 pounds,
The rallroads propose a rate of 8.50
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of 36 per cent. Under the present
rate the cost of shipping a 30,000~
pound carload of common lumber 100
miles is $18.76. Under the proposed
new rate the cost would be $25.50.
The present rate for a distance of
150 miles is 7.29 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose a rate of 11
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of 50. per cent. TUnder the present
rate, the cost of shipping a 30,000-
pound carload of common lumber 150
miles is $21.87. Under the proposed
new rate the cost would be $33,
| The present rate for a distance of
200 miles is 8.33 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose a rate of 12.5"‘!
cents per 100 pounds, or an inorease‘
of 50 per cent. Under the present
rate, the cost of shipping a 30,000-
pound carload of common lumber 200 |
miles is $25. Under the proposed
new rate the cost would be $37.50.
The present rate for a distance of
300 miles is 9.72 cents per 100 pounds,
The rallroads propose a rate of 15
cents per 100 pounds, or an increase
of 54 per cent. Under the present
rate the cost of shipping a 30,000-
pound carload of common lumber 300
miles is $29.16. Under the proposed
new rate the cost would be $45.
“Increased freight rates on lumber
can not be paid by Georgia manu
facturers of lumber, who compete
with manufacturers in other States,
and consequently the increased
frelight rates will simply be added on
to the price of lumber, so that the
consumer of lumber will pay the
freight,” the bureau’s bulletin con
cludes.

Track; Twenty Hurt
(By International News Service.)
PONTIAC, ILL., June 2.—Twenty
persons were injured, one probably fa
tally, when the Wabash System’s Chi
cago-St. Louis fast mail train was
blown from the tracks one mile south
of Saunemin at 2 a. m. by one of the
most severe wind storms that has|
visited central lilinois in years. The
accidert occurred in a deep cut.
The cut kept the cars from over
turning and causing loss of life. The
engine, combination baggage car and
smoking car and four coaches were
blown from the track. A Pullman
sleeper® crashed through the smoking
car, literally tearing it to pieces. It
was in that car that the most in
juries occurred.

‘ ‘Regrets’
Burleson ‘Regrets
Aide’s Political Work
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, June 2.—Called
upon today to force the resignation
of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Blakeslee because of his activity
against the rallway mail pay legisla
tion in the postal appropriation bili,
Postmaster General Burleson ex
pressed “regret” at his assistant’s ac.
tion.
Senators Bankhead, of Alabama,
and Townsend, of Michigan, called on
Burleson and made the demand. The
Postmaster General told them he had
not read the evidence against Blakes
les, and, therefore, could not be ex
pected to act.
After Burleson has had time to re
view the case, the demand for re
moval of Blakeslee will be renewed.

owmng snake,
Oh, Certainl
(By International News Service,)
NEW YORK, June 2.—When one
goes to Cuba, whether he be of the
water wagon or not, he may expect
to see strange species of the animal
kingdom which are commonly asso
ciated with the stuff that comes out of
noarefillable articles of crockery, ac
cording to travelers who arrived here
today on the steamer Munamar.
Mrs. Achsah Merrill, of Boston, who
has been in Cuba buying a plantation,
had a particularly interesding story to
tell. Once while strolling in the gun
gle she came upon a thunder frog.
Instead of croaking and jumping into
the lake or jumping into the lake and
then croaking, as the case may be,
and as all regular frogs are supposed
to do, thig one sat back and emitted a
series of shrill barks like an infuriated
dog.
This was sufficlent to agitate any
travelers, but that was not all. Pres
ently a snake was observed bowing
and scraping to all pedestrians along
the highway. Natives said that the
reptile had to have human compan
fonship, and if it couldn’t loaf around
with people it pined away and sobbed
itself to death.
Now Being Promoted
Georgia’s next new county will be
named Peach if plans of i{ts promoters
are carried out at the next session of
the Legislature, which will vote on a
creation of County No. 1563,
It is purposed to carve the new coun
ty from Houston and Macon, with Fort
Valley, the great peach center, as coun
ty seat.

Democratic Whip Declares He
Will iFght New Power of the
Postoffice Department.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON June 2.—“1 Canl
readily see where enactment into law
of section No. 7 of the postoffice ap
propriation act might work a hard
ship to publishers. I will support
the motion to strike this section from
the bill. It should be defeated.”
This statement was made tonight
by Senator J. Hamilton Lewls, of li
linols. Senator Lewis is “whip” of
the Senate and one of the party lead
ers close to the White House. i
“My attentlon was called to the
so-called ‘press gag’' paragraph by
publishers. They have informed me
it might lead to serlous handicaps
for the press were unlimited power
placed in the hands of the Postoffice
Department.
“Their contentions seem to be well
founded. It i{s against the best in
terests of the country to enact into
law any measure which possible mis
use may at some future time place
restriction upon the publication of
news.”
Debate on section No., 7 of the
postoffice act probably will not take
place until after the conventions.
Senator Ashurst, who is leading the
fight against the “press gags” para
graph, was so informed yvesterday by
party leaders. Meantime the Peri
odlcals Publishers’ Assoclation of
America is planning a general protest
against the objectionable section. |
A petition will be forwarded to
President Wilson and a delegation of
prominent publishers will call at the
White House and the Capitol to re
quest its withdrawal. ‘

She sald her name was plain Mary

She said she took the poison be-!
