Tate Wright, of Athens, acting
secretary-treasurer of the county
commissioners' ‘body and in charge
of the program for the present
meeting, in open{ng the meeting,
expressed the h(}flb, that some
movement to bring @about a new
aystem of taxation would come out
o present discussions.
Wright said the state was net
performing the funetions the con
stitution intended it should have,
especially those of fully maintain
ing ‘the schools, the public health
and all ronds—whether state ot
county. Jle said he did not be
lieve in the elimination of all ad
valorem taxes and that if the state
took over {its “proper’ functions,
some tax on real estate would be
necessary. :
“We have reach&z the time,
said Pierce, “when there should be
some other method of taxation
then we now have. Some method
should be devtae?’ ‘whereby in

In lieu of this, the speaker sug
gested a sales tax and a fair tax
on intangible property, distribut
ing it among the several counties
in some equitable magner. - This,
be pointed out, would be a func
tion of the state, whieh could be
tarried on through the county as
dgency. The taxes could be col
lected through a loeal tax affi
cer, and allocated by a board, se
lected by the legislature, to be
equitable distributed. }
‘ln order to have a strong state
Bovernment we should realize the
fecessity of having strong county
governments,” Mr. Pierce =aid.
‘To this end, it . behooves every
Man who has good gevernment at
heart to see that the very best
men are elected to the legislature
and to the several boards of coun
¥ commissioners,” ¢ .
In conclusion, Mr. Pierce paid
4 flowing' tribute to the greatness
of President Roosevelt, and spoke
briefly of the vital need for the
bublic to become interested im

themselves.

Col. E. R. Bradley
WASHINGTON * —(#)— Senator
Huey P. Long of Louisiang was
cursed Wednesday at a senate
hearing, and said “let if go into
the record.” :
Before a crowd that jammed the
hearing on the confirmation of D.
D. Moore as internal revenue col
lector in Louisiana—a Roosevelt
nominee cpposed by Long —the
senator so aroused Col. John P.
Sullivan of New Orleans that- the
latter muttered “you Kknow you
can’t prove that, you rotten ——.”
Sullivan's face was lvid as he
eurged Long under his breath but
loud enough for Long to hear. At
torney Edward Rightor — counsel
for Moore—grabbed Sullivan’s arm
as the tall-heavy-set. sportsman
stood up and scowled across the
‘table.
“Phat's all right,” «Long said.
“Let. him say it. Let it go into
the record.”

Long declared he would show
that Bradley and Sullivan + wha
he says dominate Moore -~ “own

they bet and have their system of
adding, multiplying and subtract

suckerg of the United States.”
“You ecan't prove that in a thous
and years,” Sullivan said across
‘the table. .
“You know you can’'t prove that.
vou rotten —— —".
Long then attempted to question
Bradley on betting throughout the
country.
Sena‘tor Clark (D.-Mo.) object
“Tt's bad enough for the senate
to havé to wash Louisiana's dirty
linen. without investigating racing
activities all over the country,”
Clark said.
Bradley said he didn't know how
much Sullivan drew from the New
Orleans track job whereupon Tiong
suzgested the internal revenue de
partment look into the tax .re
turn of Sullivan and Bradley.
Sullivan jumned up and said the
committee ecould gquestion him at
length on that when he takes the
stand Thursday. The hearing end
