WAR!
Almost the whole of Europe has
secome involved in war following
-he assassination of the Arch-duke
Franz Ferdinand and his wife, of
Austria, while on a visit to Servia
sevoral weeks &700.
"he Austran gevernm:.t declared
var on Servia and was supported by
3oymany while Russia took up the
fight on the part of Servia. German
‘roops invaded France and Belgium
and in upholding the neutrality of
Belgium, England was drawn into
:he fight.
The line-up Wednesday night was
Jermany and Austria on one hand
against Servia, Russia, France and
Engand.
Both naval and land battles are
reported from various sources but
<he only authentic report of any bat
:le on the sea was the destruction of
*he German cruiser Panther and ths
capture of the German - cruisers
Goeben and Breslau received from
Algiers Wednesday.
The Germans are fighting on the
sorder of France and Belgium, troops
from France and England not yet
having reached the German frontier.
It is possible that Switzerland,
Turkey and Japan may be drawn in
‘o the conflict.
President Wilson has issued pro
zlamations of neutrality on behalf of
the United States.

Governor Slaton spoke on the Tax

2is opponents or his race for the
United States Senate. He spoke of
the financial condition of Georgia
and the wonderful results of the tax
“qualization bill and when he had
‘inished he had thrown considerable
fight on his bill. The Governor was
feceived and his address was fre
lently punctuated with applause,
He made a favorable impression on
all who heard the address and hun-
Ireds pressed to the front when he
had concluded and offered him as
surances of support in his race for
the Senate,
The tax equalization bill has been
Yie of th issues of the race for the
Senate and has been assailed on all
ftcasions by enemies of Governor
Slaton hut when he had finished his
address here on last Saturday morn
ing and explained how this bill
Would eventually reduce our pres
"lt tax rate from five mills to two
and one half mills and cause every
‘lass of property to bear its just
Proportion of the taxes, he had
thangeq many who formerly oppos
ed biin hecause they did not tho
foughy understand what tremen
fous pen fit would eventually fol
low from the effects of this law.

take this method of putting befors
the people some of the measures for
which I stand and upon which I ask
their support.
Public office is a public trust and
not a private snap, and, when any
man offers himself to the people to
represent them in any capacity, he
should plainly and distinetly set
forth the measures for whiech he
stands and upon which he asks their
support.
Measures are more important than
men: I briefy set forth some of
the principals for which I stand.
Taxes--Appropriations.
Taxes are necessary but I shall op
pose any measure that unnecessarily
places a burden upon the people and
shall favor any measure that will
relieve them from the burden of
taxation, consistent with the fair
and honest administration of the
affairs of the state.
I am opposed to any appropria
tion of the public money except ac
cording to the strict letter of the
law. [ believe that Sectionl6, Para
graph 1, of the Constitution of the
State of Georgia, should be strictly
construed, which is as follows:
“The General Assembly shall not,
by vote, resolution or order, grant
any donation or gratuity in favor of
any person, corporation, or Associii
tion.
I am in favor of reducing our
taxes. We are paying too much
taxes. Striect economy will relieve
useless burdens of the tax-payers.
[ am wunalterably opposed -to the
General Assembly spending its time
devising ways and means to obtaia
more money in order to make more
appropriations.
The State Road.
The most important legislation
that will come before the next Gen
eral Assembly is the disposition of
the Western & Atlantic Railroad
property. It is a well known fact
Georgia Need
A Young, Active and
Progressive Governor
If you were going to select a manager for your own
business, would yvou pick out a man of nearly three score
years and t2n, who had not been in touch with it for twenty
years or more, or would you choose an active, progressive
and constructive business man who has been in direct touch
with your affairs for over a decade?
Randolph Anderson knows Georgia’s finances and Geor
gia’s needs. He has been in close touch with them and has
studied them the last ten vears or more.
He is the only candidate who has offered a substantial,
progressive platform.
If you would vote for Georgia’s best interests—
Vote For
Randolph Anderson.
AND COURIER.
MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1914,
that the railroads now have power
ful allies inthe Legislature, and any
disinterested person will tell yonu
that it is well nigh impossible to get
any measure of importance through
the Legislature, or even get a hear
ing thereon, unless first approved by
the railroads.
I believe railroads and corpora
tions should be treated fairly, but I
am not in favor of allowing then:
any unfair advantage over any other
interest or enterprise. All should
be treated alike.
I believe that efforts are now be
ing made to make the people believe
that the Western & Atlantic Rail
road will soon be parallelled and
rendered practically worthless in
order that it may be leased again for
a nominal sum, such as is now being
received for it. This road is a mag
nificent property, is very valuable,
it means much to the public schools
of the state, and I am in favor of
it being leased for something in the
neighborhood of what it is worth,
and, if elected, I pledge myself to
see that it is not sold but leased for
a far and reasonable compensaton.
The road cannot be taxed. 1 fav
or a plan by which the counties
through which it runs will receive
sufficient compensation to off-set
the amount expended by them in lit
igation by and against the road.
Public Schools.
I am in favor of offering our chil
dren the very best school advantages
possible, and the prompt payment of
our teachers, without unnecessary
delay, and without the teachers hav
ing to pay interest or discount upon
their salary.
Public Roads.
I am in favor of the Board of
County Commissioners governing
our county affairs, and I am opposed
to reducing their number. 1 am in
favor of the present plan of work
ing the convicts on our public roads,
and think each section of the county
should receive its just proportion of
the work done,
Tax Equalization Bill.
There are some features of this
law that are good; there are others
which 1 think are bad. If elected,
I would support a measure to have
the law so modified as to accom
plish the purposes for which it was
intended, so all property would bear
the just burdens but no more. ;
Public Officers. |
Public officers should not lose}
sight of the fact that the offices they
hold belong to the people and that
they are accountable to the people.
I am unalterably opposed to any per
son holding office in the United
States or State of Georgia who has
sworn allegiance to any foreign
power, potentate, or ruler. l
I was born and raised in (h;s‘
county, and lived on a farm until}
practically grown. It is a laudable
ambition of any man to want to re
present a great county like ours.
There are many who could represent |
you better, but I promise if ul».-vtuli
to give the best efforts of my life
to sze that every man and every in
terest gets a square deal,
Respecttfully,
adv. FRED MORRIS.
