THE NORTH GEORGIA!'! (SUCCESSOR TO THE NORTH GEORGIA BAPTIST.) Entered at the postofflce at Cura' King, Ga., as second class matter. < *V ~V<np— ———w——i The man who is always thinking of the reward for his good deeds, philoso phizes the Epitomlst, will not make a good showing in fhe final accounting. Where charity begins is not so im portant to t lie New York Press, as that it can never end without a h° w l of Indignation by those who have had It It is proposed in Poston to levy a tax of 10 cents per square foot on ail advertisements painted or posted up on billboards. Such a tax, thinks the Chicago Record Herald, would un doubtedly help to bring along the city beautiful. Mexico is getting into a mood to act as pacificator for the whole of Cen tral America, observes the Philadel phia Ledger. Every little power in the lot needs a spanking and none is strong enough to give this to the oth ers. President Diaz, with slipper in hand, would be a beneficent figure. The feeling ail along the line in the business situation in this part of the country has taken on a rosier hue in (he last few weeks, notes the Birming ham News. Not only are the existing conditions better, but the outlook is brighter and the prospects for a period of prosperity are more encouraging. The state of Washington has passed an anti-tipping bill to which a heavy provisionals penalty is attached. We are not expecting, explains the New Haven Journad-Courier, that there will be violations, but if Washington has any good waiters and other servants we venture to assert that they will very shortly migrate elsewhere. Consul-General George E. Anderson (Rio de Janeiro) has turned/in a re port on Brazilian rice. “The vpst mass of rice produced in Brazil,” .he says, , "conies from small farlm*, —merit patches in the hills—Without. regular* ity of production, without superintend ence, without census returns. Taken as a whole, the production of rice in Brazil is without irrigation, fertiliza tion, cultivation, or any modern treat ment; it is primitive in every partcu lar.” “When I was a boy,” says T.ogslator Harrison of North Carolina, “my fa ther required his three sons to eat .a portion of every dish on the table. If we said we did not want this or that, he would command us to eat —and eat w,e did. I have observed the same rule in my own household, where nine youngsters are being reared. Nothing is too good, nothing too common, for the satisfaction of my stomach, just so long as it is served with cleanli ness. The birth of a daughter brings a feeling of relief to Hutch statesmen. They would have preferred a boy, per haps, argues the Baltimore Sun, since a king exerts a larger personal influ ence on the administration of affairs and conserves royal prerogatives, which commonly weaken ill a woman a hands, but queens are less venture some than kings, and their tenure of the throne often coincides with a per iod of material prosperity and enlarge ment of popular rights. Americans ought to be ashamed not to know this land—its greatness. A man is not a good citizen if his own country does not Interest him, protests the New York American. The Ameri can who has the time and the money to travel should be ashamed to con fess that he.knows half a dozen other countries better than his own. It is a fact, as the friend who writes us says, “that the climate of southern Califor nia is superior in winter to any cli mate that can be found abroad.” The scenery of the Pacific coast is most beautiful, the climate admirable, the sunshine and the flowers an inspiring delight. The man in winter time in need of warm air who exposes him self to the shivery blasts of the Prom enade des Anglais at Nice, or the shivery terrace where they butcher pigeons at Monte Carlo, is a foolish person. TAX ON CORPORATIONS President Taft Asks Congress to Amend Constitutions. INCOME TAX AMENDMENT Democrats Will Stand tor Income Tax In Present Tariff Bill—Hard Fight Coming. Washington, D. C. —Recommending legislation looking to the placing of a 2 per cent tax on the net income of corporations, and also the adoption of an amendment to the constitution providing for the imposition of an in come tax without apportionment among the several states, President Taft sent to congress a message em bodying his views on the subject. This action followed a protracted special meeting of the cabinet. In hts message the president speaks of the apparent inability of congress to agree to an inheritance tax, and, as regards an income tax, he refers to the decision of the supreme court ix the case of Pollock against the |'arm ers’ Loan and't ust Company, in which the court held the tax to be unconsti tutional unless apportioned according to population. “It Is,” says the president, “undoubt edly a power which the government ought to have, it might/be indispensa-j ble to the nation’s life in great cri-’ ses.” The amendment, therefore, ha declares, was the only proper course). Such an amendment to the constitu tion, he contended, was preferable fo the one proposed of reviving a lgjw Judicially declared to be unconstitu tional. { The amendment which he proposes to be made to the tariff bill provides for the imposition upon all corpora tions and joint stock companies for profit, except national banks (other wise taxed), savings banks and build ings and loan associations, of an ex cise tax of 2 per cent upon the net income of such corporations. This tax, it is said by him,will bring an annual revenue of $25,000,000. “This is a tax on privilege and not on property,” he says, “and is within th federal power without apportionment according to population.” The president points out that an other merit to the tax on corporations is the federal supervision, which will give to the government, the stock holders and the public knowledge of the real business transactions and the gains and prafits of every corporation in the country. The message concludes: “I recommend then, first, the adop tlon of a joint resolution by two-thirds of both houses, proposes to the states granting the federal government the right to levy and collect an income an amendment to the constitution tax without apportionment tvmong the states feeeording rpciptdafckm; -and, second, the enactment, as part of the pending revenue measure, either as a substitute for, or in addition to, the inheritance tax, of an excise tax upon all corporations, measured by 2 per cent of their net incomes.” Five progresisve republican sena tors, Messrs. Borah, Bristow, Cum mins, LaFollette and Clapp, conferred to determine what their attitude is to be in the fact of President Taft’s special message to congress favoring the submission of the question to the states for a constitutional amendment and the enactment of a law taking the net earnings of corporations. They decided that the president’s plan is not inconsistent with their demands for the adoption of an amendment taxing incomes, and that both may adopted in harmony. CENTRAL OFlit HI.SOLI). Georgia Line is Bought by Illinois Central. New York City.—The sale of the Central of Georgia Railway to the Illinois Central Railroad, carrying out plans forecasted more than, a year ago was announced. The transactions originated in negotiations culminating in November, when the entire capital stock of the Georgia passed into the hands of William Nelson Cromwell and John W. Castles. The purchaser, it was announced a few months later, was E. H. Harriman, whose intention, it was then stated, was to transfer it to the Illinois Central. The price paid by the Illinois Central was not given out. Announcement f the transfer was made in this city by John F. Hanson of Atlanta, president of the Central of Georgia. The price paid by Mr. Harriman for the stock, to the par value of $5,000,000, it was stated, was $2,000,000, or at the rate of S6O per share. The transfer of the Central of Geor gia carries with it the control of two steamship lines, one from Savannah t:> New York, and the other from Savan nah to Boston, operated by the Ocean Steamship Company. The Cen tral of Georgia operates a little over 1,900 miles erf road. Its system touches that of the Illinois Central at Birmingham, Ala. “AMERICAN SUFFRAGETTE.” First Number of New Organ of Mili tant Woman Suffrage Party.
