Senator Pace, of Sumter, Offers
Resolution to Submit Amend
ment to Permit This
WOULD ALSO ABOLISH FEE |
County Officers in All Counties .
Over 25,000 May Be Paid
Salaries if Measure Passes
ATLANTA, July 23.—One o* ,
the most) important pieces of leg
islation yet put before the general |
assemply was introduced in the sen
ate this morning by Senator Steph
en Pace, of Sumter. The legisla
tion is embraced in two joint reso-
* lutions proposing constitutional
amendments to be voted upon by !
the people at the next general elec- ,
tion and would authorize the leg- •
islature to abolish justice of the
peace courts in all cities having
a population of 5,000 or more; to
consolidate the offices of tax as- 1
sessor and tax collector in counties
having 25,000 poupiation or more,
and to place all county officers in
such counties on salary instea3 of
fee basis of compensation.
The proposed amendment affect
ing the fee system as at present
in effect in Georgia would permit
the clerk of Superior, court, clerk
of City court, sheriff, ordinary,
tax collector and tax receiver in
the various conties affected to
be placed on salaries, but would
not make this obligatory. Wher
ever such officers are put on sal
ary basis this would be done only
after a special bill containing such
provision had been passed by the
general assembly. The same pro
vision applies to the proposition to
consolidate the offices of tax as
sessor and tax receiver, and the
abolishing of justice of the peace
courts.

BAPTISTS SEISING
RELIGIOUS ÜBERTV
Dr. Mulhns Voices Aims of De
nomination Before World Al.
liance at Stockholm
STOCKHOLM, July 23—Baptists
of the world not only seek absolute
religious liberty for themselves but
an equal right tor all other believ
ers and non-believers to worship
God according to the Sictates of
their conscience or refuse to wor
ship God at all, Dr. E. Y. Mullins,
of Louisville, Ky., president of the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary and of the Southern Baptist
convention, told the Baptist World
Alliance this afternoon in an ad
dress on “The Baptist Conception
of Religious Liberty.” Baptists
were instrumental in securing gu
arantees for full religious liberty in
the American constitution and Bap
tists have flourished tnere as no
where else on the globe, and they
: are now eluding their influence in
| an effort to induce governments,
I both civil and ecclesiastical, to per
mit the largest possible liberty on
the part of all individuals in their
approach to God, the speaker said.
“Religious lib 1 ? My rests upojti
man’s original creation in the im
age of •God,” Dr. Mullins began,
‘and man as a person created in
God’s image, free and spiritual,
competent to deal directly with
the finite and temporal, a passion
ate yearning for the- infinite and
eternal; man, endowed with a con
science ringing in the soul like an
alarm bell against wrong doing;
man, with a will of his own which
he can misuse and bring on m/-al
ruin, but which he can surrender
to God; man, with an intelL/Cc hung
ering so rinfinite truth and eternal
ly discontented; man with a heart
which no earthly object can satis
fy; man, self-willed and sinful and
then penitent and believing, re
deemed by the power of Jesus
Christ, Redeemer and Lord; man,
recreated in the divine image, with
the witness of the spirit of his
soul, telling him of his eternal
I destiny; man, as a child»of Goo«
' seeking to W’alk worthily of his
calling, and heir of all the ages—
this is the being and these the en
dowments which demand that great
, boon whicß we call religious liber-
I ty.”
. Setting forth some of the du
; ties are imposed by religious
liberty Dr. Mullins enumerated that
of searching Tor and discovering
the truth, that of sacrifice for the
■ truth, that of loyalty to the state,
• and that highest of all duties, loyal
ty to Jesus Christ. “No license, self-
. will or human will, but God’s will
•| as revealed in Jesus Christ is the
’goal of history and of reliigous lib
j erty,” the speaker said. “There is
, ;no danger in this religious liberty
| centered and anchored in Jesus
1 Christ.”'" J " .

Total of $4,500,000, With
Conditional Added Sum
ATLANTA, July 23.—With the
introduction of the general appro
priations bill carrying appropria
tions totalling approximately $9,-
400,000 today in the house, Chair
man Culpepper, of the appropria
tion committee stated that if the
proposed Elders amendment to give
the commo nschools a flat fund of
$5,500,000 were adopted, the
schools would, in his opinion, lose
at east half a million dollars.
The appropriations measure, as
submitted provides that the schools
shall receive $4,250,000 and one
half of all the stately revenues
over $8,500,00. Representative
Elders has stated that instead of
accepting the committee’s recom
/mendations he will ask that $250,-
I 000 be added to the sahpol fund,
’ with the proviso for one-half of
the revenues above $8,500,000 be
excluded.
Chairman Culpepper announced
tihs afternoon that he would call up
the appropriations bill For consid
eration tomorrow morning.
The house voted to begin hold
i ing afternoon sessions tomorrow in
I order to expedite the consideration
of a number of .important matters,
including tax reform measures and
the general appropriations bill.
Bills introduced in the house to
day would require all fraternal and
secret organization to record the
names of those composing their
memberships, and forbid the wear
ing of masks in public; would pro
hibit teaching of agnosticism or
Darwinism as facts and would qaur
antine the state against tfie impor
tation o? green peas and green
beans from Florida.
In the senate, Senator Pace] of
the Thirteenth, introduced a sub
stitute for the McMichael house
resolution to investigate the high
way department. The effect of the
Pace resolution would be to exclude
Representative McMichael, who for
several sessions has attacked the
highway department, from being a
member of the investigating com
mittee.
