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.
