ATI.ANTA, Deec. 11.—(AP)—A “fair primary” bill to
curb the power of machine politicians will be introduced
at the Jarwary legislative session, Rep. Charles Smith of
Haralson gcounty said otday.
The Bre.men legislator said he expected to have a fight
on his hangls to obtain passage of the measure.
Crux of Sm ith’s proposals is a
provision to pa y primary expenses
out of state, county or city funds
and to set cetrdidates’ entrance
fees by law. |
At preesnt en trance fees are set
for state offices \by the State Dem
ocratic Executiive Committee,
which leaves the determination of
fees for local offic‘es to local com
mittees. \
The young legislator said “I was
a victim of an exoitbitant entrance
fee in my legislative race, in many
counties I have re ports of county
rings and counthoizse cliques set
ting entrance fees sio high only the
ring candidate can 'qualify.”
Cut Party Fund
The Smith Bill wiould thus re
duce the amount f money avail
able to the party fior the conduct
of a primary for state, county or
city officers and tend to reduce
the amount of the entrance fee.
Such a reducticjn would open
primaries to a widcr list of candi
dates who in the j%ast have been
restrained from entering a race by
the size of the en'‘rance fee da
manded. 1
Smith also would’ require that‘
when congressional district com
mittees meet to declare eiection
results, they then :ind there de
termine whether the next primary
election shall be on a unit vote or
popular vote basis.
Such a provision would fore
stall a committee meeting in mid
season, or virtually on the eve of

{ an election, and changing rules to
| favor a single candidate or an in
cumbent who might win by unit
votes, but would be sure to lose
{ the popular vote.
l End Rotation
“In some instances,” Smith ob
served, “the county executive
committee sets rules or qualifica
tions favorable to one candidate
and detrimental to others.”
Smith also would end rotation
of state senatorial seats among the
various counties within a district
and make Senators eligible for re
election on a popular vote basis.
Such a proposal would be bound
to meet wviolent opposition from
counties embraced’ in districts
such as the 51st which is made up
of Bibb, Houston and Twiggs.
In such cases Bibb county with
a heavy population could outvote
the other two counties combined
and thus retain ifs Senator in of
fice.
) Another provision would re
quire that primaries on the state
and county level be held at the
same time.
' The Smith proposal concerning
election funds:
“Expenses for holding the pri
mary shall be paid from public
funds which the party received as
many as one-third or more of the
i votes in the last general election—
or as many as one-fifth and choose
to hold a prirhary under the same
conditions as set forth for those
| parties polling one-third or more.”

The department publication,
“Georgia’s Health,” said a multi
tude of studies have been made on
the common cold but none has

going to bed.
