SESSIONS INTRODUCED
Wright, of Floyd, and Hall, of
Bibb, Protest Against Noon
Adjournment.
£ LEGISLATIVE pen shots
A bill treating the office of auditor
of state accounts was passed by the
house of representatives Thursday
morning after a debate on It of an
hour by Mr. Hall, of Bibb, who Intro*
duced the bill, and several others. The
state auditor will be appointed by the
governor, will hold office for terms of
two years, and will be paid an annual
aalsry of (2,000.
When the motion to Introduce new
hills was passed by the house a flood
of them came from all parts of the
hall. Of the thirty-eight new bills In
troduced for a first reading, Mr. Perry,
of Hall, had the most Important. It
was drawn up with a view? to lighten
ing the duties of the supreme court,
and contained a provision for the es
tablishment of the court of appeals, to
rank next to the supreme court and
above the superior and city courts. It
provides for one' presiding judge and
four associates. First appointments
are to be mhde by the governor and
afterwards the people elect.
A bill was Introduced by Mr. Chris
topher, of Hall, to provide for biennial
sessions of the general assembly, to be
gin the first June after the ratification
of the bill by the people, to whom the
constitutional amendment must be sub
mitted after it la passed by the general
assembly.
Though a motion to meet Friday
morning at 9 o'clock had been passed,
on motion of Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas,
It was decided to adjourn the house
until 9:30 o’clock Friday morning.
There was some little discussion on this
point, Mr. Hall, of Bibb, and Mr.
Wright, of Floyd, claiming that there
w as much business to be transacted by
the house, and It should not adjourn at
12 o'clock. The motion to adjourn was
carried, however, nr the hour of noon,-
Few There at Opening.
A strenuous session of the general
assembly was predicted Wednesday
when Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that
the house meet at 9 o'clock Thursday.
When Speaker Slaton called the house
to order at that time, few members
were present. However, by 9:30
o'clock, after prayer, by Chaplain Tim
mons, the-roll call and reading of the
Jpurnal. practically every member was
In hls,aaat.‘: t
A resolution to-make house bill No.
1, by Mr. Conner; of Bartow, Special
order of business for July 9, was re
ferred to the committee on rules. This
bfll Is to appropriate $100,000 for the
agricultural college of the University
of Georgia at Athens.
•On motion of Mr. Hall, of Bibb, It
was decided that when the house ad-,
journed Thursday It meet Friday morn
ing at 9 o’clock.'
Fight on Max Land.
A petition from a number.of cltisens
of Wilcox county protesting against
Max E. Land acting as representative
from Wllson.'was read by the clerk. It
was claimed by 104 Wilcox county cit-
liens, who announced-that:other simi
lar. petitions would follow, that Mr.
I.and moved to Crisp county In Decern-;
her. 1905, and they desired the ofilce
delared vacant that an election might
be held. On motion of Mr. Hall, of
Bibb, the Petition was referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
House bill No. 9. by Mr. Hall, of
Bibb, was read for the third time, hav
ing been favorably reported by the ap-
proprtattona committee. On motion of
Mr. Hall, the house went Into a com
mittee of the whole to consider the
bill, Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, taking
the chair. The bill was given another
reading, after which Mr. Hall, of Bibb,
spoke In behalf of It.
The bill was to create the office of
auditor of state accounts with a sal
ary of J2.000.
In speaking on this measure, Mr. Hall
said that while very complicated and
long In make-up, the bill was simple
HON. JOSEPH HILL HALL,
of Bibb.
The Hon. Joseph Hill Hall, of Bibb,
has had much fun poked at him. 1
name, his whiskers, his vehemence
speech and action, and his recurrent
Plea for "the common people" have
been made the subject of Jokes,
sarcasm and sometimes of ridicule.
But when one enters the house
representatives in session, observes
the activity of the senior member from
Bibb and notea the respect which
accorded the rather uncouth statesman
and the skill with which he handles
whatever he undertakes, he gets a ne'w
opinion of the beet known member
the house.
The Hon. Joseph Hill Hall, of Bibb,
Is just about the ablest parliaments
rlan in the bunch. When he gets
filibustering to defeat a measure he
doesn't like; he sets the supporters
that measure wild with Impotent fury.
Ho doesn't mind filibustering If
thinks that is the best tactics, al
though he has' been known to storm
against It as unfulr when used against
him. That's natural; however.
As a constitutional lawyer, he stands
high among the bar of Georgia. His
honesty Is proverbial, his ability Is un
questioned, and he Is one of the
strongest figures of the general assent
bly.
He haa taken many unpopular
stands. It’s a sort of hobby with him
to he unpopular. Some of Ills unpoi
ular stands have been • mistakes. I
will admit that himself. Some
them were right. He'll admit that,
too.
The very first shot out of the box
Wednesday, the Hon. Joseph Hill Hall
aet the house down to work when
some of the less serious minded mem
bers wanted to adjourn shortly after
convening. He carried his point.
This is his last term. He may run
again, however. He can carry God
frey's district In Bibb county for any
office from dog catcher to emperor of
Germany.

fairs of the state would be under L

but one institution of the state, the
negro school In Savannah, that was
managed properly from a financial
point of view. Examples were drawn
from the state lunatic asylum af
fairs and the Georgia School of Tech

Mr. Knight, of Berrien, Interrupted
Mr. Hall with a query aa to why he
favored the apoplntment of the auditor
by the governor and the state election
of certain other officials by the peo
ple.
“Asleep,” Ssys Hall.
“You must have been asleep,’’ aald
Mr. Hall, aa he explained his views.
Mr. Alexander, of De Kalb: "Is It not
true that this new office will Inter
rupt the entire machinery of handling
state accounts?”
“We ain’t got no machinery,” retort
ed Mr. Hall.
Mr. Kelley, of Glascock, spoke In fa
vor of his amendment to elect the audi
tor by the people. He was answered
by Mr. Hall, who said that the pas
sage of the amendment would kill the
bill..
"Governor le Honest.f
"I favor'the appointment-.of this of-
flcial hy-'tfie governor and wo will get
a good official," said Mr. Hall. "I have
never had reason to doubt the govern
oris honesty, and I believe he would
carry out this bill as he has all others,
honestly."
Mr. McMIchael, of Marlon, spoke In
favor of the bill as Introduced by Mr.
Hall, of Bibb.
