THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, ATnnnAT. jult 7, l**. 8 CAKOLER BILL WILL EQUALIZE TAKES PROVIDES FOB STATE AND COUNTY TAX ASSESSORS. Substitute in Senate for Hall House Bill Will Pass Up per Brancb. Senator Murphy Candler's substitute bill for the Joe" Hill Hall measure pro vidlng for a state board of tax as sessors which was passed in the house is considered by ibe senate finance committee a much stronger and more effective act for equalizing the tax bur den. Senator Candler’s substitute provides that in addition to the state board of three assessors each county shall have a county board of assessors. The coun ty board will puss on the county re turns, while the state board will pass on the .state returns. In the event of differences with any board, and objection as to any as sessment made by them, the person or concern Interested may appeal to the state board. And their decision will be Anal. Members of the county boards are to receive $5 per day while en- argrd in the work, half to be paid by the county and half by the state. Speaking cf his measure Senator Candler says: "So question today is eo big and so Important ns equalization of the tax burden, and 1 feel ussured that my substitute makes it more nearly of achievement tfran the Hall bill*. "The average man does not object so stcenuously to the tax rate as he does to the Inequality of the tax bur den. When we know that everybody Is bearing the burden of taxes alike, and no person oc corporation Is escaping a Just share of responsibility, then our resentment passes. I am satisfied that with both county and state boards of tax assessors the equalization will fce more nearly accomplished than by any method I have cognizance of.** It la very probable that the senate wIH pass the Candler substitute.
