Local Tax Measure Goes Into Effect
Jan. 1, 1921.__County B. of E.
Must Take New Bearings.
Beginning with January 1, 1921,
all public schools in Georgia go on a
new system and will be mgintained
by taxation on local property and by
state aid. Heretofore county schools
have depended entirely on the state
for support, supplementing the state
funds by local tuition fees. This dual
method has been very unsatisfactory,
because of the difficulty of collecting
tuition fees, atf teachers have been
hard to obtain because of this uncer
tainty. Now each county will have
funds for the payment of its teachers.
Counties will naturally and ‘necesar
ily vary in salaries because some havel
more railrcad property than other,‘
and some are far more prosperous
than others.
Cobb’s Position. l
Cobb county should fare well un
der the new system. She has a con-|
siderable amount of railroad and oth-!
er corporaté properties which must
pay their part in the county’s school
needs and the taxable property of;
the county is Jarge. The county tax!
digest runs to 10 or 12 millions, from:
which must be deducted the amounts
of property in Marietta and Roswel].’
But with a school tax of 4 mills tne
schools should have as much fromf
county taxes as she gets from the'
state funds. Her funds from the
state for 1921 have not yet been an
nounced, but they will be about $36,-‘
50C.00 and with a foor-mill levy the
county should have some $75,000.00
for school purposes.
Advance in 12 Years
Twelve years ago Cobb county re
ceived only $16,000.00 for her
schools. This amnrunt has been grad- |
ually increased until the present year, |
when she received $32,424.00. With |
the limited funds at its command the‘i
Board of Education codld do little'
in the way of permanent improve
ment in the county, but with the in
creasged funds it should be able to do
# great deal tcward making better
houses and furnishing better equip
ment. A
= Complex Matters.
There will arice a number of pro
blems to be solved by the county
board and superintendent. There are
in the county semi-independent sys
tems which will give rise to some of
these. Such tcwns as Acworth and
Austell have local taxing systems but |
are under the Board of Education.!
They have contiguous territory that|
patronize their schools, paying here-‘
fore tuition fees to balance the city|
taxes. How these matters will be
adjusted under the new system re-.
mains to be worked out. ’
Local Tax Districts.
Then, there are local tax districts,
McMichael school districts. As The
Journal understands the law, these
remain intact, but come under the
county-wide system also. That is,
they may raise further taxes for their
immediate use when the county does
not raise what they want for their,
gchools, but they share in the county
distribution and their property is sub
ject to the county rate.
Bad Policy of the Law.
The law is that taxes raised for
school purposes must be used in the
pericd of taxation, that is, taxes rais
ed in 1921, are to be used in the 1921
schools. This continues the old sys
tem of borrowing in the spring and
paying back in the fall. 1921 taxes
are not collectable till Décember 1921
after the year’s teaching is done. So
while the board must use the funds
for the schools of that year they
cannot get the funds for this purpose
until after the schcols are completed.
With an experience of forty years in
beorrowing this way, i/l does seem
strange that the law should have con
tinued the policy which has worked
such a hardship on the schools and
has cost them so much in interest.
New Adjustmens Necessary.
The Cobb County Board has not
intimated what rate it would levy for
1921, nor has it discussed what sal
aries it will pay, nor what terms it
will maintain, because the law has
been adopted since the last meeting.
%t will, no doubt, have these mattérs
up at the December meeting, Decem
ber 7. Meanwhile, many of the
scheols are without teachers begause
of the scarcity of them. A number of
them began their winter work Novem
ber 22, and Bthers arg ready to begin
November 29. The Journal hopes to
see the rate fixed high enough to se
'cu're good teachers and to put the
schools in the best shape they have
ever been in.
' No doubt, too, the board will in
crease the length of the term. The
term maintained berefore has been

The Dixie Highway is coming in

The road to Smyrna is slowrl& but

BRITISH TROOPS IN DUBLIN.
Sunday was a bloody day in Dub
lin, the Irish capitol. British mili
tary and police forces were placed as
a - cordon about the city and trains
could neither enter nor leave the city.
It seems that Dublin is head of the
Sinn Feiners and these people are
giving England no small trouble.
Numerous people were killed in the
riots of the city Sunday, the military
and police receiving the blame for it.
No doubt they had ample reasons for
their aetions, but Irish sympathizers
seize upon the fact for fomenting the
public and increasing sympathy for
their cause. '
The result of the wide disturbance
Sunday was cause: for a wild day
Monday in the House of Commons.
Much excitement prevailed there and
several ugly fights were indulged in
by members. British officials say they
regard Sunday’s happenings as the
“last kick” of the dying cause of the
desperadoes whose stronghold was
stormed and whose members were
cornered. '
HARDING IN PANAMA. :
President-Elect Harding was due to
land in Panama Tuesday morning.
He goes there both for rest and in
formation, no doubt, about the great
caral. His fizst itinerary carried
him via Vera Cruz, but it was found
impractical for him to take in the
Mexican city on tlis trip. He will
return to the states within a few
days and it is expected h¢ will give
an outline of his policy as president
soon after he returns.
‘' CONDITIONS «IMPROVING.
While cotton continues low it is
the impression generally that finances
are easing up somewhat in the south.
Cotton growers have been selling
some and peo’ple are beginning to
trade, pay off their indebtedness and
thus to put money in circulation.
Marietta has- received a prétty fair
lot of cotton in the past few days and
merchants have enjoyed more trade
than was the case for & while at the
opening of the season. Weather con
ditions have been such as to allow the
sowing of grain andéa considerable
amount of wheat- has been planted.
Most of the cotton crop has been
picked out.

financing the cotton crop and other
t@thern* products. Georgia’s part
ifi:the big organization is $1,500,000.-
00 and it is being subseribed by prac
tically all the banks of the state. It
calls for a subscription of 3 per cent
of the bank’s capital and surplus.
The Marietta banks have subscribed
their pro rata, the amounts being
$4500.00 for the First National,
$85C0.00 for Marietta Trust & Bank
ing Company, and $1500.00 fer the
Merchants & Farmers Bank. #
. That we might have inform%tion
first hand foy' our readers we asked
Mr. J. E. Massey, chairman for Cobb
colinty, fér an interview and obtain-
Gdi‘the%ollowing facts about the pro-.

~ With the formation of the Federal
ernational Banking Company, the
Southern stites is making a greati
_ *forward as a means of handlingi
Southern produets, especially jn times
like the country*is experiencing tq-t
dgy'. This banking company is being;
organized by the twelve Southern
states and the stock is being subserib
ed principally by the banks of these
states. It is propo@d that the Fed
&ral Interrational Banking Company
shall commence operations as soon as
$6,000,000.00 capital has been sub
scribed, thought it is hoped that the
capital will reach ten to twelve mil—!
lions. This bank is to be owned byi
Southern capital, cgerated by South
ern men and for the marketing of |
Southern products. With the capita]‘
of $6,000,000.00 the bank will have
available credit of $60,000,000.00
and should the catjtal reach $10,000,-
000.00 its facilities would amount to
$lOO, 000,000.00, which will do wén
ders in assisting in the exflbrting of
our products. o
Need and Purposes of Organi Qiofi
““The nations which in the g have
‘been ‘the most liberal buyers of the
South’s . principal ‘agric'ulturfl and
manufactured products are at pres
ent in such financial condition as the
regult of the\war that their purchas
ing power has been greatly curtailed,
and in some instances has almost en
tirely ceased. For instance, prior to
the war Austria and Germany alone
consumed approximately three mil
lion bales of our cotbon, whereas for
the past year they have only. utilized
two hundred %housand bales. These
countr{es, as well as Belgium, Czecho-
Slavania, and even France want our
cotton new, but have no way to fin
ance their purchases. It is the hope
of the Fedegl International Banking
Company to provide the necessary
credit -By which these nations may
buy our cotton on three to nine
months timg, or un?l they can have
time to spin the cotton, weave it into
cloth, and sell the goods to pay us in
American dollars. Their obligations
will be secured first by a lien on the
'cotton or the manufactured products
therefrom‘, second, by either a syndi
cate of bankers or in some instances
by the governments themselves.
It can readily be seen that in pro
viding this credit and exporting large
quantitids of cotton that the Ameri
can markets will not be flooded with
the staple as is now thé case and the
demand for cotton will become more
stable, which will eventually material
ly intrease the price of our cotton.
The South must find a market for
its cotton and other products and not
continu@ to let speculators fix the
price, but on the other hand we must
make ourselves independent of New
York, Liverpool, orany other ‘terter.
No Time Far Calamity Howlers:
Numbers of calamify howlers have
been racing up and down the country
publishing to the nation that the
South is broke and undble to handle
its crops. This is absolutely fool
tall- and sach men should receive the
contempt of the Southern people,
which they justly deserve. .
The South is amply able and cap
able of mastering its own problems,
We have the medns and-the ability
and I firmly believe that this move on
the part of the Southern banks will
prove to be the most forward step in
the interest of Southern farmers tak
en in the South i;x the past fifty years.
fMhe possibilities ¢f the Federal In
ternational Banking® Company are
very great and it has been predicted
that some day it will have a capital
of fifty er perhaps one hundred mil
