- Thompson Seeks Lieutenant-Governor Post *
With a record of service in State affairs that Includes the
posts of Assistant State Superintendent of Schools, secretary
of the Executive Department, and Revenue Commissioner of
Georgia, M. E. Thompson has entered
the race for Lieutenant - Governor.
“I feel that my experience in gov
ernment qualifies me for the office,"
Thompson said. “For a great many
years it has been my privilege to work
with legislative groups in initiating,
writing, and enacting legislation de
signed for the betterment of Georgia.
1 am familiar with the practical opera
tions of the various agencies of the
State, and accustomed to parliamen
tary procedure.”
Thompson, whose administration of
the Revenue Department has resulted
in noteworthy reforms of collection
methods that simplify matters for
Georgia taxpayers, is recommending THOMPSON
that the State abandon the collection of property taxes and
leave this source of revenue to the local self-government units,
the counties and towns.
"As your Lieutenant-Governor, I shall serve all the people of
Georgia and do my best to promote the welfare of all services
that the State supports without undue emphasis on any single
“service,” Thompson said in his announcement, which drew the
immediate editorial support of 47 of Georgia's leading weekl"
and dally newspapers. —
