S7HL7M.I7S TH
WES IN GEORGIA
REPORT OF TAX COMMISSIONER
JOHN C. HART MADE TO THE
GOVERNOR AND COMPTROLLER.
GENERAL.
The total taxable values of Georgia
exclusive of railroad property, for the
year 1915, as shown by the digests
of the several counties of the state,
amounts to $799,734,975. In 1913, the
year prior to the passage of fthe equa!-
I ization tax act. the total values were
$723,021,014. In 1914, under the oper
ation of the tax act for the first year,
the values were increased at $803,390,-
106.
It will thus be seen that the relative .
values of this year's returns, 1915,1
with the returns of the year 1911
shows a small decrease of $3,655,221
still the values for this year are $76.-
713,691 more than the year prior to
the passage of the equalization tax
act.
This increase of values has been
brought about largely through the
work of the local boards of assessors
in equalizing values between the tax
payers, and by the discovery and plac
ing upon the digest, through this
same agency, omitted property which
heretofore had contributed nothing to
the support of government.
I regard this year’s results as a
great tribute to the justice and effi
ciency of the tax act. I believe but
for this act the shrinkage in values in
Georgia this year would have amount
ed to between $75,000,000 and SIOO,OOO -
000, owing to the distressing condi
tions and depression throughout the
country as a result of the European
war. I beg also in this connection to
say that the reports through local
boards in the several counties of the
state are practically unanimous to the
effect that the law is gaining in favor
with the people, as it is demonstrated
to them that the real object of the law
is the attainment of equality in the
necessary tax burden.
No just man can fairly object t>
paying his part toward the support o>’
government, protecting him in the en
joyment of life, liberty and property.
Equality in the benefit and burden
of government is all that the tax act
professes or was intended to accom
plish. It is in a measure doing that,
and as it progresses along on these

BEST DAY OF COTTON
CROP FOR AMERICUS
WITH NEARLY SOO
| CROPS ARE BEING RAPIDLY GATH
ERED AND WITH PRICE AROUND
8 3-4 CENTS—CROPS* REDUCED
ABOUT 25 PE CENT.
Americus warehouses received near
ly 500 balyes cotton Saturday, the re
ceipts being the best for any day this
season, to date. Farmers are gather
ing the crop rapidly, while the
weather is fine and the staple unstain
ed by bad weather, and they will sell
their bales as fast as marketed. Prices
yesterday were around 8 3-4 c, which
while seemingly high, are not at ah
so, when the short crop here is really
considered.
Spinners and northern speculators
cry “contraband cotton!” to depress
the market and frighten the growers
but the fact remains the 1914 bumper
crop was bought for one-half of the
cost of growing, and resold to splen
did advantage in spite of the war.
They made a fortune.
When the world knows for a fact
that there is only two or three bales
made to the plow, it will sit up and
take notice and cotton will soar pro
bably to 25c, but by that time it will
have passed from the grower’s hands
into the hands of speculators—who
will reap a rich reward.
The farmers reduced their crop
about 25 per cent, and still another re
duction of about 50 per cent, on ac
count of the drouth, makes a total of
about 75 per cent, reduction from last
year’s crop. If this was known in a
general way, it would have a great
tendency to advance the market.
Opening of City Schools.
Th e enrollment books for white pu

SOME GREAT PICTURES FOR
NEXT WEEK
Record crowds have attended the
Opera House the past week and have

detail that audiences are under the
impression they are witnessing a real
life drama occurring in their homes,
or the homes of their friends.

Road,” which comes Wednesday, Sept.
Ist, followed by “Exploits of Elaine,”
Charlie Chaplin in “Mabel at The
