Half Taxed —Half Untaxed.
Advocates of public ownership
schemes use as one of their
strongest arguments, the state
ment that states, counties or cit
ies can borrow money cheaper
than private companies because
their bonds are “tax exempt.”
In addition public property pays
no taxes.
The income from some S3O.
000,000,000 of such tax-exempt
bonds now goes tax-free and the
rest of us pay additional taxes to
make up this loss to the govern
ment.
If public ownership was ex
tended to various lines of indus
try s advocated by two consti
tutional amendments proposed in
Georgia, the tax assessment rolf
would shrink and the burden oi
taxation on remaining • taxable
property would grow heavier and
heavier as city, county and state
functions were enlarged.
Advocates of public ownership
will find that it will be fmpossi
ble in this country to maintain
the right of private property for
half the people while taking over
under public ownership the prop
erty of the other half.
Ultimately we would face a sit
uation where the principal busi
ness of those holding o&ce would
be how to collect tax revenue
from those not holding office in
order to meet the public payroll.

A CARD.
Atlanta, Ga , Sept. 26, 1923.
Editor North Georgian,
Dear Sir
. 1 was in Cumming last Sun
day—Sept, 24 for a short time
I visited the city cemeterj
while there. I was pained at
what I saw. The cemetery cer
tainly needs attention. The old
part will soon be grown uplwith
young trees if something is not
done. Don’t you think it an op
portune time for the people of
Cumming to revive the Cemetery
Association? There are people
in Atlanta, Buiord and other
places that would contribute to
the Association, if they were
properly approached.
Respectfully,
Frank D- Nichols.
P. S. —Judge Geo. L Bell joins
with me in asking i.the above
question. Says he will contrib
ute.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1, 1923.
Editor North Georgian:—
As manager of the Southern
Division of the American Red
Cross, 1 wish to express my ap
preciation ot the co-operation of
your community in the Japanese
Relief campaign.
In this great emergency, the
Red Cross, of course, was sim
ply the organized medium desig
nated by the President through
which you could all work togeth
er. To the Church, the Cham
ber of Commerce, the American
Legion, the Salvation Army, the
Civic Clubs, and to every co-op
erating organization is due the
highest praise for the generoub
and unsciflsh spirit of service in
which" they answered'TfiTs call
for help.
Especial praise is due the news
papers. Without their whole
hearted support in broadcasting
the appeal and keeping the need
of help forcefully and continu
ously before the people, the task
of raising the big relief fund
would have been impossible.
The public should know that
every penny contributed to the
Japanese relief fund goes direct
ly for actual relief of the earth
quake victims, The overhead
expense of letters, telegrams,
etc., was met from Red Cross re
serve funds.
I am sure that it is gratifying
to all of you that the South has
done its part, along with the rest
of the nation, to relieve suffering
caused by the greatest of all dis
asters.
Very sincerely yours,
Jos. C. Logan,
Mgr. So. Div, Am. Red Cross.
