Tax Commission
To Close Probe
Of Ga. System
Income Tax System to
Have Edge on Other
Methods Suggested to
Special Board.
(By Associated Press.)
ATLANTA.—After holding pub
lic hearings In a number of Geor
gia towns and cities and meet
ing in Atlanta during the present
week, the special commission, ap
pointed by Governor Walker to
study the state's tax problem and
report to the extraordinary ses
sion of the general assembly in
November, Is expected to complete
its work next week and then be
gin preparation of the recommen
dations it la to make to the legis
lators.
T^e proposal for an Income tax
appears to have an edge ov.er all
other methods of taxation sug
gested to the coramleslon, accord
ing to several members.
One of the strongest opponents
to the Income tax, however, has
been heard bjr tlto committee dur
ing Its hearings In Atlanta. This
opponent Is former John M. Slaton,
who advocated adoption of the tax
equalization law now In effect In
the state.
In referring to the state Income
tax In North Carolina, the forn*r
governor sa|d:
"When I was in North Carolina
recently, vfcfcephus Danbj'.s, for
mer secretary of the navy, told me
that he was giving the assembly
there only one more session In
which to abolish the income tax.
Those who are in a position to
know in North Carolina will tell
you not to adopt an Income tax.
They don't like it."
Mr. darter* declared the adop
tion of ar> Income tax would r ot
result In equalizing the tax burden
In the state, but on the other hand
would result In Increased taxation:
He advocated retention of the
present tax equalization law with
such amendments as would renove
any defects which might now ex
ist.
This is a question which mem
bers of the commission todav said
had not yet been considered but
during Mr. Slaton's remarks be
fore the body this Interesting fea
ture develbped:
x“Do you think, governor," one of
tho members asked of Mr. Slaton
"that this commission in framing
Its report should consider whether
the assembly will adopt It; should
we submit a report of exactly what
we hav^ ascertained, or ehould we
consider whether it will meet with
the approval of the legislature?
"If we present our recommenda
tions, does not our responsibility
end and leave the question up to
the assembly"

“Seeing Is Believing,”
Motto of Tom and
Stanley Diamond
America'** educational system
is all wrong,' and if tho city
fathers and school boards don’t
do something about it, thcro will
just have to be a children’s strike
to set things right.
Such is the conclusion'of Tom
and Stanley Diamond, young
vaudeville actors who have gone
all over the United States and
back again doing turns upon the
•tags.
Tom and Stanley have had
what they call a "travelling edu
cation". Tutors have accompa
nied them and they have learned
their geography and history by
having the places they were
studying pointed out to th:*r.i
from trains and hotel windows.
"And it’s the right wey,” snyx
Stanley, who has red hair rr.:l
freckles on every visible inch cf
skin.
"All children ought to have the
same chances,” put in Tom of the
Irish blue eyes and coal black
hair. "It was fearfully stodgy
shut up in a school room trying
to learn that Virginia was
louth by
bounded on the south
Ten-
"But we have passed over the
spot where Tennessee ends and
Virginia begins, and so, of course,
we remember. And we saw the
rivers and their sources and their
cuds,” Stanley interrupted enthu
siastically.
"And we looked at coal mines
in Pennsylvania and gold oiles in
California, and saw where the
Battle of Bunker Hill was
fought,” continued Tom. *
"It is tho only way to go to
school without being bored,” end
ed Stanley decisively.
"We had a special interest in
knowing all about Virginia, as
tho song we are making our big
gest hit with is called/Stealing to
