Hart Says Tax System of Geor gia is Behind the Times Atlanta, Ga.—“ Little more Gian pawning around the hat for con tributions,’’ is the way Attorney General John C. Hart character izes the Georgia tax laws in his annual nqtort just out. Georgia’s taxing system and methods, he points out. are more than a century old and he thinks it about time to begin the work of bringing them up to date. With a legal requirement that property everywhere in the state shall be returned at its market value, tax receivers accept it at anfywlrere from 25 to 65 per cent sometimes less and seldom more —according to their way of looking at it. “We have recently made some progress in amending our tax laws,’’ Judge Hart says, “ but a study of them will demonstrate very conclusively they are inade quate to present tiifies and condi tions. “The machinery and methods of collection of taxes today in Georgia are over a hundred years old,. The returns are practical ly voluntary and amount to but little more than passing around the hat for contributions. “There should be established in Georgia a state board of equal izers and in each county a board of assessors, to the end tluat tax es are equitably imposed and col lected. ’’Georgia’s taxable values amount to seven hundred and five millions, as returned by the tax [layers yet it will scarcely be doubted if all the property in the state was returned at its val ue the volume of property would be doubled. “If every property owner in Georgia measured up to the duty required of him by the law in making his return for taxation, the treasury would be relieved of its embarrassment and Georgia would meet her appropriations promptly. “The administration of govern ment depends solely on taxation. The average man looks upon tax es as a burden for which he re ceives nothing in return and, therefore, feels at liberty to re sort to any and every means to avoid this burden. As a matter of fact He gets more byway of dividends for his contribution to the support of government than any, even his most favored finan cial ventured. He must look to the government to protect him in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and but for the taxes annually contributed by means of which 1 the government is sustained, anarchy and chaos would reign. “It is essential of the stability of government and the public safety, peace and tranquility that the power to tax be preserved and machinery should be provid ed to the end that each piece of property shall contribute to the support of the government de signed for its protection, propor tionately to its value. “There are thousands of men in Georgia who return their prop erty as the law' requires it—at its value—and there are thous ands who do not return it at half its value, and thousands, no doubt who do not return it at all, and under such state of facts, the re mit is the bunlens of the dishon est man are borne by the hon est. This ought not to be, and as stated, may be remedied very largely by the creation of county assessors and a state board of cqualixers. ’ ’ “Legislation of this class has been frequently recommended am ■ow and then considered by the. legislature but no definite re sults have yet been reached. “It is possible that the gradu ally increasing emlmrrassment of the state treasury may soon stimn latt legislative action, as a result of the unquestioned necessity of providing sufficient funds to meet the appropriations which the legsilature makes.’’ Colds that hang on weaken the con stitution and develop into consump tion.

Perhaps it is about time I send you a line from this part of the country, and if you think it worthy you can print it in The News. The News is one of the most wel come visitors, for it seems like seeing some one from home. And let me tell you, we have been hert now five months and have not met one familiar face, and 1 have come to the conclusion that I would like to see even a dog from old Georgia. Well, we are having fine weath er here now and I have been inov ing about some. Last week we took the steamer for Victoria, B. and had one of the finest and most enjoyable trips I have ever taken. We sailed from the Col man Dock on the Steamer Chip pywa—a large vessel of one of the many lines leaving the wa ter front of this city. Victoria is in Canada, down the Puget Sound and across the straits of Juan de Fuea, and there we leave Uncle Sam’s country and enter Johny Bull’s domain. And let me say that Victoria is a typical Eng lish city of 25,0(10, a very nice little city and as clean as any one could wish to look at. They have some fine buildings there, fine parks, museum, drives, tallah lines etc. and all so much Eng lish that they all take the left hand side of the walks. But the trip there and return was every thing you could wish for. The sound runs along between two ranges of mountains—the Olym pic and the Cascades —all snow capped heads summer and win ter, and the sound is very nar row. It looks like one can al most reach them. We called al Port Townsend and on the other side is Port Angeles. The long string of disappearing guns make it look difficult for any strong ship or ships to pass them with out being in a lot of trouble. But we sure did enjoy the trip. We got home to Seattle about 10:30 p. m. and our verdict was a well spent day. The following day we took an other steamer, en route for Ta coma, another fine little city of about twenty thousand and a great shipping point for lumber; about 30 miles from Seattle and has a big smelter where they smelt ore from the gold mines in Alaska and other points in the Northwest. There is an electric road from here to Ta coma, a train every hour during the day. Well, our great world’s fair is all ready and waiting for June the first to come when President Taft, will turn the golden key that starts the wheels rolling and June the first will be a day long to be remembered in Seattle. Every whistle, every bell and ev erything that can make a noise will be turned loose and every flag will be hoisted and the city will put on her Sunday attire and have a full holiday. This is go ing to be the best world's fair that was ever held in the U. S. It is the most beautiful grounds I ever saw and like this city is a wonder. Since writing the above we took a ride over and visited the Exposition grounds to see what has been done since we were there a month ago and they have done wonders upon wonders. Ev erything is nearly finished. They are ornamenting the stalls for the exhibits and placing them in po sition and completing a few places on the Pay Streak (or pike’ a mile and a quarter long, ending at Lake Union where they have a complete life saving station - of Uncle Sam's ready for business. 5 estenlay tliiey put up the long est flag pole in the world, one single stick two hundred feet high. The flag for the pole is !(>(• by 75 feet and is a daisy. 1 tell you, one building there (the Forestry building) is the pride ot the exposition. It is built of fir logs set on end 60 feet long and nearly all of them five feet in diameter with the bark on. I think the building is 200 feet long with a balcony on the top. I wish I could tell you all about the beautiful things that are here but space will not permit. The v. hole grounds arc adorned with flowers, beautiful lawns, etc. M e are going on a fishing trip {up to Hood’s Canal, that runs GOOD ROADS CONVENTION Commissioners of North Georgia Counties to Meet in Rome July 3. A convention of the county com missionres of North Georgia and a grand good roads rally in Rome is what is scheduled for Saturday ■ July 3, says the Tribune-Herald Formal action to this effect . was taken at a meeting of the Good Roads committee of the Manufacturers and Merchants As soeiation Saturday afternoon. The feature of the convention will be a mass meeting of the people of the Seventh district and Floyd county at the court house on Sat urday morning. This meeting will be addressed by Judge Mo ses Wright and other prominent men of Georgia. Mr. Wright had an invitation to make the chief address by Chairman John H. Reynolds Saturday afternoon, and immediately signified his ac ceptance. Judge Wright is one of the best speakers in Georgia, and he is an enthusiastic advo cate of good roads and especial ly of good roads in Floyd county. Tide Good Roads committee of the Manufacturers and Merchants Association of Floyd county, to which a number of prominent farmers belong, will be the hosts of the occasion. This committee will tender a banquet dinner to the visiting county commission ers and to a few other distinguished guests. The dinner will be held at 1 o’clock in the private dining room of the Cherokee hotel. After the fruits and vegetables have been dispos ed of, the commissioners wil en gage in consideration of how it is the best to get co-operation be tween the different counties in building roads. It is probable the commissioners will organize an association of North Georgia county commissioners and will elect permanent officers. Among those who will be invited to din ner are the commissioners of Floyd, Chattooga, Walker, Polk, Paulding, Bartow, Cobb and Gor don counties.
