Born Building Bainbridge, Georgia STILL UIU FIRE Atlanta, Dec. 3.—That the fight to repeal the present state tax equalization law will be con tinued just as vigorously in the next legislature as it was in the last session, but that he will not oppose a new law to be im mediately enacted carrying the best features of the present law and standardizing the pay of the equalizers, together with certain other improvements in a new act, is the declaration made to day by Representative J. M. Taylor, of Monroe county, who has led the fight to kill the present law. ' ‘About 75 per cent of the last house was in favor of the repeal of the present law,” said Mr. Taylor, “in the next house near er 90 per cent will favor it, and the senate will be in about the same ratio. Throughout the state of Georgia, outside of the larger cities, more than 80 per cent of the people are opposed to the present law, and are openly de manding its repeal.” NEED SOME SYSTEM. Asked if he did not agree that some equalization system of tax assessment is needed, Mr. Taylor admitted that it is true, and said the real trouble at this time is not entirely with the law itself, but that the objection to it comes very largely from the manner of its enforcement and operation. It isn't the idea of equalization, Mr. Taylor says, that the people object to, but the system of "so- tailed equalization” and “the way that system is being applied to the people.” “I have had letters from a good many of the new members of the house, who made their campaign for election on the pledge to obtain the repeal of the law, and some of those who return who were opposed to the repeal movement the last time have pledged themselves to it for the next session. Nobody who was in the last session doubts for a moment that my bill to repeal the law would have gone through in a flash if it could ever have been gotten to a vote, and this time it is going to be voted on. If somebody wants to introduce as a sort of companion bill a new law, to take the place of this old inequalit affair, and will keep the bad features of the present law out of it, I shan’t fight that effort and I believe new bill will go through without any trouble, if it is the right kind of bill and so framed that the entire burden of the equalizers doesn’t fall on the counties—and will fix a standard! the authority they needed to make their own increases—and will fix a standard pay for the equalizers.
