AMERICAN SERVICE
CENTER
Taylor at 6th Street
in Congress, overtook the 37-
year-old record of the late Sen.
Francis Warren, R-Wyo.
The 72-year-old Georgian be
gan the new session of Congress
by participating in a Democra
tic Senate caucus and then pre
sided over the opening of the
1970 Senate session in the ab
sence of Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew.
Warren ended 37 years in the
Senate when he died on Nov.
24, 1929.
Russell will be unable to over
take Hayden’s all - time record
during his current term, which
expires in January, 1973. There
“By home rule, I mean the
authority to govern themselves
in matters that affect only lo
calities,” he said.
Smith told the mayors he
would not favor any tax in
creases unless there is tax re
vision that broadens tax powers
of cities and counties.
“It is my firm conviction that
if we in state government are
to attract any significant atten-.
tion and support in our fight to
attract any significant attention
and support in our fight to re
store and protect states’ rights,
we must practice what we
preach with regard to our own
relationship with local govern
ments,” Smith said.
The lieutenant governor en
dorsed recommendations that
communities be allowed to levy
a half-cent local option sales
tax and a one per cent income
tax.
