IS GENERAL SALES
TAX DEMOCRATIC?
It is not a question as to
whether sales tax will get the
required revenue to pay the ex
penses of the program that our
leaders hope to carry out —it will
get it. The thing that should con
cern every unselfish soul is, is it
fair and equal.
The merchants are almost a |
unit in their objection to the
token plan of operation, and it
is a nuisance, but there is a
worse feature for some people
who get what little they have
with more trouble. The well-to-1
do and large-income people who I
have more and more capital to!
invest are in favor of a general
income tax, but it works a hard
ship on a small-income man who
has a large family to support,
and possibly trying to buy a lit
tle home.
Yes, there are people who are
not trying to be anything nor do
anything worthwhile who pay no
tax; this condition has always
existed and always will be found
as long as the depravity of man
is in the human race, but there
are hard-working people who are
looking up who pay as much for
the necessities of life as the large
income man whose big earning
is dependent on the spendings
of the small-income man. The
person with a large income can
spend it for /axuries if he desires
but he also can live like the poor
man with a large margain for in
vestment and have still more to
invest.
General sales tax is a rich
man’s tax and shifts the burden
to the sweat earners.
The principle is wrong: Rev-’
enue should not come from that i
which goes out, but that which:
comes in; not from that which
he has not because he is com- i
pelled to spend it, but on that
which he has because he can in
vest it. A limited sales tax on
luxuries can’t hurt, but there
should be some system for equal
ity.

Last Rites Held for
Mrs. R. A. Hatcher
From the Columbia (Harlem,
Ga.) News
The funeral rites for Mrs. Rob
ert R. Hatcher, the former Min
nie Lee Ellington, were held at
the Harlem Baptist Church on
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock,
with local Baptist pastor, Rev. :
L. W. Teague, and Rev. J. P. Me- :
Graw, of Langley, former neigh
bor, close friend and pastor for
many years, officiating.
Mr. Hugh Groves sang beauti
fully the two selections, “Jesus,
Lover of My Soul’’ and “It Is ,
Well with My Soul,” to Mrs. W.
C. Clary’s piano accompaniment.
The scripture lessons were ap
propriately chosen and seemed
to have a special bearing upon |
the type of life Mrs. Hatcher had I
lived. Rev. J. P. McGraw’s re-|
marks upon his knowledge of
“Miss Minnie” through close as-1
sociation as a friend and neigh
bor and as a loyal and ejevoted
Christian were earnest and sin
cere, marked with the quiet sim
plicity which she would have ap
preciated.
Bom at Penfield, Ga., she was j
one of the four daughters of Rev.
and Mrs. J. W. Ellington. Her
father was an educator and a
Baptist minister of note in the
state. She was married to Mr.
Robert R. Hatcher at Norwood,
Ga., in 1888, coming to Harlem
to live where he was engaged in
the mercantile and building ma
terial business. There were no
children. She taught in the Har
lem School and had a music class
in her home from time to time.
She was loyal and devoted to the ■
local Baptist Church, having i
serve das organizer and teacher
of the T. E. L. Class and of the
Woman’s Missionary Society,
which she served as president for
many years and was elected pres
ident emeritus upon retirmeent.
She was president of the Harlem
Woman’s Club for several years.
She was deeply interested in the
religious and spiritual phases of
' life and craved the best for the
community.
She is survived by the follow
ing nieves and nephews: Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. Wynn, of College
Park; Mr. and Mrs. L. I. Skin
ner, of Athens; Miss Elizabeth
: Jackson, of Summerville; Mr. and
- Mrs. J. R. Jackson, of Summer
ville, and Mr. and Mrs. R. A.
Oslin, of Washington, Ga.
1 She was interred in the Har
’ lem Cemetery by the side of her
late husband, Robert R. Hatcher.
Many beautiful florals attest
ed to the respect and love
, borne for her.

CHRISTMAS
During these busy weeks be
fore Christmas, almost any of
us, in some moment of weari
ness, is likely to ask, “What is
j the use of it?” People who do
! not like to buy Christmas pres
ents are perhaps glad that
Christmas comes but once a year.
To people who live solely within
themselves, Christmas is just an
other day. But by the time the
fruit cakes are baked and stored
away, Christmas gifts are made
|or purchased, the enthusiasm
I rises higher and higher. By the
time the tree is trimmed, the
stockings are hung and carols
soar on the frosty air of Christ
mas Eve, nobody has even a wisp
of grumpiness left.
j Christmas is an occasion for
I re-dedicating ourselves to God,
and for giving freely of our love
to others, so they may be bless
ed as all mankind was blessed
in the coming of the Babe of
Bethlehem. To those who keep
faith of childhood and faith in.
childhood, Christmas Eve is un
like any other evening in the
year,
Christmas is a spirit of glad
ness and blessing to keep alive
within us; an emotion to fan in
to a sustaining flame; a hope
to stir us from our lethargy; a
love that must be shared with
others; a secret joy, the glad
poetry of which was first sung
by angel messengers over a pros -.
eny earth. We should all re-dis
cover, for ourselves, a true prin- i
ciple of delight. Happiness, given ■
away, comes back to the giver ■
in fuller measure. Joy is but the
reflection of the gladness we be
stow upon others. Such in the
mercy ol God was the reason for
the first Christmas and the se
cret of it may be in our hearts, i
I As in the nation, so in the!
small units of the city, village
and neighborhood, the Christ-;
; mas spirit works its good. The I
church, the club, the civic body,
every sort of group in which
people gather feels its strength
ening warmth. Welfare and char
ity organizations benefit espe
cially. Few nations other than
the Christian ones pay public'
heed to the poor, the sick, the
blind, the insane and crippled.
At Christmas time, deeds are
multiplied and a store of gen
erosity laid up against the year
to come.
May we resolve to show in ourj
community evidence of the;
Christmas spirit. It will make
life sweeter for all, it will rekin
dle the hearth fires of home.
Much joy of the season, as all
children know, springs from an
ticipation. So it is well that we j
all do our Christmas thinking;
now—to reckon up the real sig
nificance of the Christimas fes
tival.
Merry Christmas to all!
SIOO,OOO WORTH OF
CONFIDENCE
CHICAGO. —To dispel for all
time the untrue and malicious
rumors that have been circulat
ed about the permanence of Sat
inflo ink used in all Reynolds
pens, Milton Reynolds, chairman
of the board of the Reynolds Pen
Co., in Miami this week, backed
his confidence in his product
with SIOO,OOO.
The occasion for this was the
writing of a check for SIOO,OOO
in the safe deposit vaults of the
Mercantile National Bank in the
j prsence of Mayor Herbert A.
Frink, Maurice Liberman, presi
dent of the Mercantile National
Bank, and Ruth Byrd, Sun and
Fun queen of Miami Beach.
As further evidence of his con
fidence, the check was written
under water and placed in tne
vaults of the Mercantile Nation
al Bank.
Mr. Reynolds announced that
he would pay SIOO,OOO to any
designated charity if, at the end
of one year, the check for SIOO,-
000 was not clearly legible.
Mr. Liberman stated that at
' no time has his bank refused to
I permit the use of Reynolds Sat
inflo ink on any of the bank rec
ords or other permanently re
tained material.
Mr. Reynolds said that a re
port from a nationally known
research laboratory in Chicago
stated that, with the exception
of Parker “51”, all standard inks j
now used in the United States
faded as much or more than the
Reynolds Satinflo and that all
exceeded U. S. Government re
quirements. Many of these inks
are considered and sold as “per
manent” inks.
