DORSEY BEGINS
HIS SECOND TERM
URGES STATE JURY TO FIX GUILT
FOR LYNCHING IN ~HE
STATE OF GEORGIA
BRIEF ITEMSJFJMPORTANCE
Condensed Statement Os Interesting
Events And Happening Through
out The State
Atlanta. —In his annual official mes
sage to the general assembly, read at
l joint session of house and senate,
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey discussed a
lumber of pending matters which he
•onsidered of vital interest to the state.
Os principal interest perhaps was
governor Dorsey’s indorsement of the
’eport of the tax commission, which
■vill offer a complete revision of the
axation system of Georgia. Governor
Dorsey defends the plan against the
criticism which already has been made
ind declares he has seen no valid ob
jection to it. He expresses confidence
hat no Georgia legislature will ever
mpose taxes upon one class of citizens
it the expense of another. The pro
josed change in taxation laws, espec
ally the fixing of classifications of
troperty for taxation, has been vigor
•usly opposed in many quarters. Gov
ernor Dorsey congratulates the legisla
ure upon its creation of commissions
o investigate matters between ses
sions and submit reports, enabling the
general assembly to deal with these
natters intelligently. He especially
commends the work of the budget and
nvestigating committee, which has
irepared a complete appropriations
till which leaves nothing to be handled
n a haphazard way.
As to the proposed highways legjs
ation, Governor Dorsey expresses no
choice of highway bills, but urges that
some aequate legislation be enacted.
Lynchings are discussed at length,
he governor saying that a state grand
iury should be created which can
nvestigate such crimes and fix the
tuilt, the expense to be charge to the
:ounty where the lynching occurs.
A new constitution, instead of furth
er amendments, is suggested by the
;overnor as a prime necessity.
Editors Os Georgia Plan Big Doings
Atlanta. —Many bright and entertain
ng features have been arranged for
he annual meeting of the Georgia
3 ress association in Monroe July 14.
ndicalions, too, are that the attend
ince ill be a large one, as President
’aul T. Harbo, of Commerce, has an
lounced that more than 150 editors
ilready have accepted invitations.
There will be a meeting at the Uni
versity of Georgia and an automobile
rip through the mountains of the
lorthern section of the state is being
ilanned. The meeting will open on
vlonday, and the first business session
Tuesday will be followed by an auto
nobile trip through Walton county in
he afternoon. Wednesday will be
eatured by a big barbecue and inspec
ion of the Jack Creek drainage dis
rict.
Urges Care Os Feebleminded
Atlanta. When the legislature
.omes to act upon the proposal to make
;ome provision for the feeble-minded
•hildren of Georgia, it will have be
ore it the strong approval of Governor
| I ugh M. Dorsey, who will recom
nend that some action be taken to re
ieve a situation which is growing ser
ous. The Children’s Bureau of the
Jnited States department of labor in
Washington lias just complete sur-
I <ey of feeblemindedness among juve
lile delinquent in Georgia, to show
j . ome of the difficulties in handling
■hildren of this type and the urgent
I ieed of provision being made for them
[ >y the state.
Atlanta Fights Capita! Removal
Atlanta.—Stirred to action by Ma
j ton’s latest efforts to remove the capi
al to that city, two bills now pending
ng in the state legislature having this
snd as their object, a meeting of the
titizens of Atlanta was called at the
tity hall to launch an active fight
igainst the capital removal proposal,
loth bills to carry the capital away
rom Atlanta have been referred to the
•onstitutional amendments committee
if the two houses and early hearings
ire expected.

Proceedings Os Legislature \
Atlanta.—With every’ one of the
fifty-one members of the 1919-20 sei
ate present, Secretary D. F. MeUlatch
sy called the body to order and what
promises to be a most important ses
sion was cegun. The number of new
bills iutroduced on the opening day
point strongly to a session full of
action and accomplishment. The im
portant questions of better schools,
highway improvement, reform in the
state bunking system, making a new
constitution for the state and even
removing the cupilol to Macon, were
all brought before the body in the
. hape of new bills within an hour
after the senate assembled. Neither
Speaker Holder nor President of the
Senate Olive had opposition. Both
were elected in record time. Speaker
Holder was put in nomination by
Robert Toombs Dubose of Clarke
county, and President Olive was
nominated by Senator Veazey of the
nineteenth district. Botli election:!
were unanimous. Estimating the 1921)
income of the state at $8,000,000 and
making appropriations for $8,584,
710.72 the budget and efficiency com
mittee, has prepared i report to be
submitted to the state legislature.
This will be introduced as an appro
priation bill. This Lill pro ides for
the expenditure of practically every
cent that the state will receive during
the year and it will take a special
act to appropriate any other sums,
and such measures woultl of necessity
be voted by the governor, as there
would be no funds available to pay
same. If tlte bill goes througli as
drafted it will be the shortest appro
priation bill ever passed by a Geor
gia legislature. The subject of ap
propriation are dealt with separate
ly, each branch taken up and han
dled in turn. If enacted the bill
will be the law of Ihe state until
repealed. In amending it from year
to year it will only be necessary to
cull attention to tho proper sections
and divisions of I lie measure. Tlte
bill is intended to cover all the ex
penditures of the state for the year
1920 and succeeding years except in
so far as it may be amended or re
pealed and to cover ull deficiencies
for tho year 1919. Among the fiood
of bills that were poured Into tho leg
islative hopper in the house, there is
probably none thut exceeds In in
terest and importance to the people
of the state than the tax reform meas
ure introduced by Representative Ar
nold of Clay, chairman of the ways
and means committee. This bill is a
constitutional amendment, and lias re
ceived the approval of the tax com
mission created by *he last general
aseeti U> 4 It proposes an amendment
to the constitution of the state.
Souther Plans Great Air Meet
Atnericus. —Preparations have been
made for 10,000 visitors to Souther
Field, July 12, when the greatest aerial
exhibition ever produced in the south
will be given by Lite officers and en
listed men of the field. The fun will
begin at 12 o’clock sharp, and, the
though night will bring the end of the
Hying exhibition, a inlnistrel show, fol
lowed by a dance, will end the celebra
tion in u blaze of glory. Every known
stunt in the category of iviators will
be presented to the gaze of the spec
tators; whil the loop, tail spin,, hur
i rel roll, wing-over and nose dive have
, become more or less familiar, there
; are many which will cause the visitors
| to hold their breath at the daring of
| ihe fliers. This will include the fliers’
changing from one machine to tile
other while in the air, both by drop
ping and by use of the rope ladder.
Also it is probable that two fliers will
drop from an altitude of 3,001) feet in
parachutes.
Higher Compress Rates Are Asked
Atlanta. —Members of the Georgia
delegation in congress have taken up
with Director lines of the railroad
administration, the matter of having
him personally review the appeal of
the Atlantic Compress company of
Atlanta, and the independent com
j presses in Georgia, in support of their
I claim for additional compensation for
I services rendered to the United
i States railroad administration in the
1 months of September and October,
1918. These claims. It appeared, have
already been referred to the traffic
manager of the railroad administra
tion, who in turn has declined to al
low them.
