About Loca+Taxation (Intended for *last i?sue) Mr. Editor: s * 1 • Please alio tv me space in your columns to express my .views with reference to thd local school: tax recently 'adooted by"t\ r ayr\s County. Inasmuch &s*fhe rna|f - itj’of the people of Way he County have seen fit to impose who have chi’dren to 1 educate as well ! as those who have none, 1 think it only faif and right then to force eyery parent to send theif" child rep, to school, at lehst during the tune the schools are absolutely free, this in order that the money may be utilized as intended. There will be very near, "if not quite as much Of this monej^extorted from people that have already slaved and educated their children as those that have yet children to educate; therefore I think that our Legislature should pass a hw to give each and every child the benefit qf this extra tax. Should this fail to be dpiyj, those children that do not spyyiaHy need 4ffiis extra help \yill,ba*the ones that get it, and those that do specially need it will go on,-as they heretofore, withouUit.j., If \*e are going to use force on tre one side lets have it equally strong on the other. I opposed this tax -for the eason that 1 did not believe it would reach those it was intended to reach without coivmulsory atton lance, something;else that I have opposed, until this local school tax was passed, but now I think it absolutely necessary in that all may .sharp: alike. I would like to hear,.from others this subject. • 1 Very truly, J. H..Bennett ■ ■ ♦ ■ r. . The Screven Banking Company Screyen, Ga; was recently or¬ with a CapitaPbf $2S.QOO.
