Veterans Are Asked To Co-operate
With Ordinaries and Tax Re
' ceivers in Purging Lists
The Pension Commissioner of the
state of Georgia has requested the
ordinaries and tax receivers of the
state to investigate and make lists
of those classes of Confederate sol
diers and widows residing in the sev
eral counties who will be eligible un
der the Constitutional amendments
ratified at the last election to a pen
sion when the general assembly has
amended the pension laws of the state
so as to allow pensions to that class
heretofore excluded by reason of own
ing more than $1,500 worth of proper
ty and the widows who were married
before January 1, 1881.
It is requested that the camps of
Confederate Veterans and the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy in each county
co-operate with these civil officers in
getting up these lists for the reason
that this information will be import
ant to present to the next general
assembly so that the number to be ad
mitted to the pension rolls of the
state may be known and the amount
of money that will be required to
pay the pensioners for 1920 and the
succeeding years may be provided for.
The average pension to be paid will
be around $lOO per capita for each
year. A
The following letter on this subject
is self-explanatory:
Pension Office, Atlanta, Ga.,
J. M. Gann, April 21, 1119,
Ordinary Cobb County.
Dear Judge—The General Assem
bly to convene on the 25th of June
next will be expected to amend the
pension laws to conform to the con
stitutional amendment ratified at the
last November election so as to allow
pensions to that class of ex-soldiers
and widows heretofore excluded for
the reason of owning property in ex
cess of $1,500, and to allow pensions
to the widows of ex-soldiers who mar
ried before the Ist of January, 1881.
Now, in order that I may be able
to make some estimate of the number
of soldiers and widows in the state of
these classes, and what amount it will
require to pay them, I wish to request
you to do me the favor to see your
tax receiver and thats you and he make
a list of all such soldiers and the wid
ows of such residing in your county,
whom you think will be eligible for
pension under the new law when
passed.
Kindly do me this favor for the
benefit of the old soldiers and widows
of your county and send to me at
once, or at the earliest day possible
for you to make the list, which will
be appreciated by
Your true friend,
J. W. LINDSEY,
Commissioner of Pensions.
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey issued
the folowing proclamation:
The Eexecutive Committee of the
Permanetn Blind Relief War Fund
for Soldiers and Sailors of the Al
lies has recently been raising funds
for the soldiers and sailors of the
Allied armies who lost their sight in
the war.
The money obtained by the Com
mittee has been used to educate pro
perly those who have been blinded,
and equip and train them so that
they might be self-supportng.
Believing that we should consider
it not only a duty but a privilege to
help in this Cause which seems to
me to be of the most worthy pre
sented to us, I, Hugh M. Dorsey, Gov
ernor of Georgia, do hereby designate
Sunday, May 4th, as Allied Blind Re
lief Day.
Because of the sympathy which we,
as citizens of a Christian Nation, feel
for this work, I call especially the at
tention of our churches to the day,
and I take the lberty of suggesting
that wherever it is possible, the con
tributions in the churches on this day
be devoted to the Blind Relief Fund.
Witness the hand and seal of the
Executive Department of the State
of Georgia on this, the 24th day of
April, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand nine hundred and nineteen.
HUGH M. DORSEY.
Mrs. Charles Ellis is the State
Chairman in Georgia, of the Perman
ent Blind Relief War Fund, whose
headquarters are at 590 Fifth Ave
nue, New York.
All checks and other donations
should be made payable to: Perman
ent Blind Relief War Fund and mail
ed to Mrs. Charles Ellis, Savannah,
Georgia.
Contributions of Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps are most
acceptable, and it is pointed out that
in this form the donations will serve
a doubly sacred purpose; they will
have helped the Government to win
the war and the blinded soldiers to
take their places again among their
fellow men with their spirit of self
relance and independence restored.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
Four distinct honor emblems have
been provided by the Liberty Loan Or
ganization of the Sixth Federal Re
serve District for The Victory Loan
campaign, April 21 to May 10.
* There will be two flags in the com
petition among communities. Another
type of flag will be awarded to indus
trial plants, stores, factories and other
‘organizations, and a paper emblem
will be awarded to households.
The flag which will be most sought
after is the one to be awarded to com
munities which have oversubscribed
their quotas in all loans. The design
is very much like the Fourth Liberty
Loan flag—white, with red border and
four vertical stripes, and one tra
verse stripe, resembling a tally mark.
In the first campaign the cities and
counties were not assigned quotas. It
heas been decided to accept a statement
from the county chairman that the
Word has just reached America
that the Emperor of Japan in an im
perial decree has bestowed an annual
fund upon the Salvation Army in
that country.
The Emperor, in giving this finan
cial assistance to the Salvation Army,
recognized it as an official organiza
tion and a part of the Japanese Em
pire and has turned over all uplift
work to the men and women of the
Salvation Army Corps.
In his imperial decree, the Emperor
declared that he has watched the work
of the Salvation Army within the
confines of Japan for many years and
that it was after a thorough investi
gation that it was decided to make
this imperial fund so as to allow a
scope to the Salvation Army in the
far east, broadened with time, and to
enlarge its activities in Japan.
At first the Japanese people were
almost awe stricken by the coming
of the Salvation Army workers into
the land of the chrysanthemum. It
was by hard work and diligent ef
forts on the part of S. A. workers
sent into the interior that they receiv
ed the confidence of the people and
were allowed to proceed with their
work unhampered.
In addition to their work of uplift
and taking care of the:.ill and needy,
the Salvation Army has implanted in
Japan a religious seed, which, in the
last few years, has asserted itself in
the advancement of Christianity.
The Japanese as a whole were at
first very unfriendly to newcomers in
their own country, but now the giv
ing of a large sum of money to the
Salvation Army is absolute proof of
their worth in Japan.

The community honor flag for the

organizations. The design resembles
the community flag, with an additional

NEW EXCHANGE TELEPHONE RATES
‘EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 1919
A new schedule of telephone exchange rates became
\effective in Marietta May 1 by direction of the Operating
|Board of the United States Telegraph and Telephone Ad
ministration, acting under the order of the Postmaster-
General of the United States.
As you know, all of the lines and property of this
company are in the possession, control and are being
operated by the United States Government under the
direction of the Postmaster-General of the United States.
~ The new rates are necessary in order that additional
revenue may be secured by the government to meet the
increased operating expenses. The causes which make
greater telephone revenue necessary are due to the new
conditions and the new price levels introduced by the
war are entirely beyond the control of the United States
Telegraph and Telephone Administration or of the Tele
phone Company.
More than two years ago the Company foresaw that
the telephone system would be operated at a loss unless
the rates could be adjusted to meet the increasing costs
of all elements entering into the production of service. A
similar rate adjustment would have been unavoidable
under private control and the new rate schedule is prac
tically the same we would have sought in 1918 if the
‘govern_ment had not taken possession of our property.
As stated by the Postmaster-General, the owners of
the telephone system do not benefit in any way from rate
changes. Practically all of the increased operating
expenses which require this additional revenue are due
to increased wages paid to employes to enable them to
meet the new conditions of life in the present day.
It is neither practicable nor desirable to reduce wages,
and so far as wages are concerned we believe that
portion of the increased operating expenses to be perma
nent.
The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and the
percentage of increased revenue which it will produce
is much lower than the increased cost of other services
and commodities of a similar character.
Complete detailed information about the new rates
may be obtained at the manager’s office. We are making
every effort to change our records promptly and your
courteous consideration will be appreciated. The new
rate for your service is shown in your statement for May 1.
