The Red Cross Association, as sooh as the Teports of the fearful ! storm disaster of last Wednesday ^ Reached them, and that was within a very few hours? they were on the ground ready to help and were help ing right along. There is a kind of feeling of security when disaster comes and the Red Cross gets to work to furnish relief, for it is cer tain to go about it in a systematic and efficient way. Relief work for the storm stricken scction has been placed in their hands. Contributions are pouring in giving urgently need ed relief. Not one dollar contributed will go to pay the expenses of the Red Cross. The national Organiza tion will take cfire of that, and those who contributed to the relief of the sutfferers will know that it will all go to their relief. The Red Cross is a wonderful organization, and merits the hearty endorsement of every one. TAX EXEMPTION OF GOVERN MENT. In commenting on the necessity for \ doing away with the tax-exempt bond the Commercial Appeal of Memphis says: - "All over the country there has been a demand that no more tax free bonds be issued. The reason is plain. It is -privilege. Practically, it invites capital to seek inactive" har bors. "The country grows through indus trialism. The country is / great be cause railroads cut all thorugh it and because there are mines, steel mills, lumber mills, factories, automobile plants, furniture factories, cotton j lfiills and packing plants. "Now, if these industries ' issue bonds they are taxed, and, bein# taxed, they must pay a high rate of interest. * The public must, therefore, pay bigger money for the products of these industries, because their tax es are high. "The public pays the taxes on so called. untaxed bonds. The govern ment needs money to riin. ,.ftoe hold er of an untaxed bond pays nothing. A producer who pays an income tax makes up the deficit with buyers using taxed products. . "Under the present system certain securities tfre escaping taxation. This thing has cursed governments from the beginning. It is the first strfrt of privilege." It is remarkable the length^ time Congress can resist, this taix reform which is so necessary to equalize pres ent day tax burdens. A GREAT ADVERTISING ISSUE We have before us a copy of the Co lumbus, Ga., Industrial Index, con tainnig nearly two hunderd pages, ad vertising that prosperous Georgia town. It is now the home of Dr. John A. Davidson, a former paster of the Camden Baptist church, and his con gretation there are engaged in erect ing a Sunday school building at a cost of $100,000 to take care of one of the largest Sunday schools in the South Wo understand that ther^are fourteen hundred members of this Sunday ' school. There are twelve cotton mill* there besides many other manufactur ing enterprises. Nearly a half million spindles are operated and they expect to increase this number finally to one million by 1936. The annual pay roll of the cotton mills alone is stated at more than $6,000,000. The milLi i were liberal patrons of this industrial issue of the Index, one of them, the Meritaa Milla, ownod and operateed by the Standard Textile Products Co., ; of New York city, having a full page advertisement in it, and giving a pic ture of the mill, and making the state ment: "we extend congratulations to Columbus on another year of sub stantial growth. Every building , shown in this photograph is within the incorporate lmits of the city. This ,1 corporation is in Columbus, and of Columbus, and rojoices in its growth. Began operation In 1911 with 9,900 y spindles and 70 looms. Enlarged in 1918 to 26,000 spindlea and 490 , looms. Again enlarged in 1916 to 07, 000 spindles and 1,860 looms." What struck us particularly was the state ment made that they wore within the "incorporate limits," and were re* ' , ^oicin# In its growth. A splendid spirit for a big corporation that is making1 money to show. And the In .. dustrial Index k to be congratulated i dp** gottM t Out so splendid a Show ing for Colwnbus.
