GEORGIA SOLONS
NOW AT WORK
Legislature Convened on
Wednesday
A BUSY SESSION AHEAD
Prohibition Question, Tax
Law, The W. & A. Lease
Among Important Prob
lems of This Session
Atlanta, Ga., June 25. —The
Georgia legislature opened this
year’s session Wednesday, facing
a busy and turbulent fifty days.
Among the big problems to be
fought over are the tax equaliza
tion question, prohibition, child
labor, the school book question,
the Western & Atlantic lease, to
say nothing of the problem of re
tiring and re-issuing the state’s
bonds.
Wherefore the present session
will be one of the busiest, and
perhaps one of the most notable
in the history of Georgia. To add
interest and excitement to the
proceedings at the capitol, it is
an election year and campaign
politics is making itself felt al
ready on the floor of both House
and senate.
One of the things which is be
ing watched most closely is
whether or not the house this
year will develop the leader which
it lacked last season. The per
sonnel of the house, practically
intact, save where successors
have been named to take the
place of five deceased members,
is being watchfully scanned.
There are no changes at all in the
senate.
The opening days showed that
leaderless or otherwise the house
forces are sure to be divided on
the paramount question of tax
equalization, and the opponents
of the measure who lost by one
vote last year are sure to make a
hard fight for a repeal of the
measure this summer.
Just what part the prohibition
question will play in the summer’s
doings is hard to predict, but it
will certainly share a part of the
spot-light. It will be recalled that
the senate last year passed a bill
making the Webb law operative
in Georgia. Whether the advo
cates of that measure can succeed
this year in getting it through
both houses, is said to be ex
tremely doubtful, but it is prac
tically certain that they are going
to make an effort. The bill is in
the hands of the house sub-com
mittee which, it is a foregone
conclusion, will report unfavora
bly on it. The battle will come
on the floor of the house.
