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.

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. Tax Collector’s Notice.
