SPLENDID RESULTS IN
EQUALIZANION DF TAXES
•—■ 1 1
Atlanta, May 30.—State Tax qon
missioner John C. Hart in an interview
given out this afternoon reports splen
did progress throughout the state in
the work of tax equalization which is
going on under the new law.
“In several counties the boards have
met and completed their work," says
Judge Hart, “and there has not been
a single case of necessity for arbitra
tion. The result is that valuations
have increased from three quarters of
a million to a million and a half dol
lars, and this in some of the smaller
counties too.
“It is too soon yet for me to predict
the probable increase of taxable val
ues, the result of the work of equaliza
tion, and discovering heretofore unre
tunied property, but lam indulging
confidently the hope that the state this j
year will discharge its current indebt-:
eduess of over a million dollars, and
the governor and comptroller general 1
be able to cut the present high tax
rate.
“Throughout the state the informs
tioa comes that the local boards of
equalizers are buisly at work endeav
oring to see that all property is put on
the digest, and that each man takes
his exact part of the public burden.
The success of the law depends, as 1
stated when I first saw the equaliza
tion act, upon the class of men ap
pointed on the local boards, and I !
urged the appointment of men of the !
very highest character. I do not be-j
lieve the state ever had a body of
more patriotic men in its service than
the body constituting the local boards
of equalizers and assessors. They have
met the delicate situation with intel
ligence, with patience, w ith courage
and with a patriotism unsurpassed."

Atlanta, May 30.—The possibilities
of Hugh Dorsey running for governor
seem to be becoming daily more re
mote. Some of his strongest friends
and admirers have been urging upon
him the great harm it would do the
reputation of Georgia as a state to
have the Prank case revived as a polit
ical issue, and the impropriety of any
man running for office with the blood of
Mary Phagan and the execution of
Mary Phagan’s murderer as a plat
form.
Almost the entire press of Georgia,
without having an unkind word to sav
against Dorsey personally, is protest
ing against the idea, and it begins to
be apparent that the Atlanta papers
are not going to ask the voters of
Georgia to vote for an Atlantian on
such an issue.
The talk of putting Dorsey in the
race, it begins to appear, came not so
much from his real friends as from
certain ill advised admirers who let
their excitement over the Frank case
get the better of their judgment.
