MT. VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922. Representative H. B. Folsom Gives Account Os Stewardship MONTGOMERY COUNTY REPRE SENTATIVE REVIEWS WORK OF LEGISLATURE IN SESSION JUST CLOSED. The achievements of the 1922 session of the General Assembly of Georgia may be recounted in few, words, if a scribe Yonfined himself to actual facts. And, likewise, it would consume a vast deal of space to refer to what may have been done by this august body during the past fifty days of its deliberative existence. The large dai lies have taken particular pains to tell the public that the boay count have accomplished more by simply meeting and adjourning; but .after all, the public is not to be foiled entirely, and scores of representatives have done jjitst exactly as they were be sought by the greater part of their constituency—do nothing to laise tne taxes and make no appropriations for any cause whatsoever. Whether wise and progressive, the records of a large per cent of the membership will reveal this condition; and whether the pub lic knows every time just what is best for its material and political benefit, there is no doubt but that the do-noth ing policy as demonstrated by the as sembly just closed will appeal to many. Without attempting excuse for the body, and without too critical refer ence to what was done, or not done, passing mention may he made of a few outstanding measures which really engagfed tfje attention of the assembly, with side lights here and there; for instance — The measure to abolislr the fee sys tem for county officers and substitute salaries. Any well informed reader (South Georgia, especially) is aware that he Savannah News was first to advocate this measure, as the solution of the problem in the large counties, such as Chatham, Richmond, Bibb, Ful ton, Floyd and Muscogee, in which large fees are collected hv the county officers, seemingly out of proportion to the service rendered. Last sum mer this hill was not passed on by the committee simply because the ad vocates of the bill did not appear at regular committee meeting and pre sent the merits of the bill.
