IV LEBIGLATURE
ONE IS EFFORT TO REMOVE MAY
OR W. J. PIERPONT, AND OTHER
IS TO REPEAL TAX EQUALIZA
TION LAW.
Atlanta, July 18.-—There are two
pig fights in the Georgia legislature
now iin session. One is the fight of
the Chatham county delegation to put
through a bill engrafting the recall
upen the city charter of Savannah,
anc the other is the fight of an element
in the house and senate to repeal the
12X equalization law.
In ihe Savannah fight the issue is
sharply drawn between principle and
precedent. On the one hand, the pro
hibition forces of the house and sen
ate are convinced that the recall bill
is an attempt to remove Mayaor W. P.
Pierpont, of Savannah, from office
because he has enforced the prohi
bition laws. They have “shown that
liquor is openly sold in that portion
of Chatham county which lies out-
side of the city limits of Savannah,
and shown that Mayor Pierpont is
the obstacle that stands between the
open sale of liquor in the corporate
limits of the city: They have been
shown that if a recall election is held
in Savannah the liquor will triumph
iwithout a doubt, and that Pierpont’s
iremoval from office will open the way
for a return of the old regime of open
{disregard of the pronfoition law.
i Hence, the prohibition forces are
%opposed on principle of placing the
‘recall in the Savannah charter, be
’cause they are convinced that it is
‘an istrument framed by the liquor
forces to get rid of - the man who
}c!osed the saloons.
| On the other hand, legislative pre
cedent decrees that local delegations
’Shall control in matter of local legis
lation—that where the representatives
from a county propose an amendment
!m a city charter, or propose some
iother matter of purely local legisla
tion, then the legislature shall keep
'hands off and let them have their way.
The precedent is one that nas rarely,
if ever, been broken, and the Chat-
Iham delegzation, together with the
‘senator from the the first district, are
!urging it to the limit. :
