LEGISLATIVE
NEWS
HAPPENINGS ABOUT
STATE CAPITOL.
Nominees Confirmed
* TLANTA.—The Georgia senate con
lY firmed the nomination of Sam
Tate, of Tate, as chairman of the
State Highway Board, and also con
frimed a long list of appointments by
the Governor to boards of trustees of
educational institutions operated by the
state, The only nomination by Gov
ernor Hardman that was not confirm
edw as that of D. A. Finley, of Val
dosta, for membership on the State
Board of Game and Fish.
Bill to Change Date of Primary
Presidential preference primaries
and county primaries would be held on
the same date—the second Wednes
day in May of presidential election
years only, under bill that has been
introduced in the Georgia senate by
President W. Cecil Neill, of Colum
bus. President Neill was author of
the present Neill primary law which
was passed while he was serving as
speaker of the Georgia house of rep
resentatives.
The new bill clears up many doubt
ful points in the Georgia law with
respect to presidential preference pri
maries, and was largely intended to
handle problems that have arisen in
presidential contests of the past four
years, according to the author. Presi
dent Neill stated that he has intro
duced the same measure in the past
three or four general assemblies, but
this time the members will have the
opportunity of eonsdierlng his measure
in connection with the recommenda
tion of Governor Hardman that the
date of ttie state-wide primary be
changed, and also the date of the
state convention, In the event run
overs are necessary In any state con
tests.
Governor’s Staff
The rapidly growing importance
of aviation in the southeast, of which
Atlanta is the hub, was again demon
strated in the announcement of ap
pointments to Governor L. G. Hard
man’s military staff of the next two
years, the list including for the first
time in history, a staff officer for
aviation.
The new appointee is Lieut. Col.
Harris E. Willingham, a World War
veteran and former Army air service
pilot with long experience. He is ac
tive in the affairs of the Atlanta
branch of the National Aeronautic
Association and is particularly inter
ested in the movement to secure bet
ter facilities at Candler Field and in
the promotion of airports throughout
the state.
SnelUng Favors School Survey
Senator Seaborn Wright’s proposal
for a survey of the state educational
system, with the idea of bringing It
up to date and providing adequate fa
cilities, has been given the unquali
fied endorsement of Dr. Charles M.
Snelling, chancellor of the University
of Georgia. Dr. Snelling points out
that such a survey was advocated by
the Georgia Education Association
last spring and the Association of
Georgia Colleges.
“Senator Wright’s bill is the most
far-reaching measure for the better
ment of educational conditions in
schools and colleges maintained by
the state that could possibly come
before the legislature,” said the chan
cellor.
Atlanta Charter Changes
Various proposed amendments to the
city charter of Atlanta seem to oc
cupy a rather indefinite status at pres
ent in the Georgia state legislature,
which is the body that must formally
authorize the changes in the organic
law of the municipality. Only one
of the proposed charter amendments
has been submitted to the legislature,
this being the provision which would
permit the sale by the city of four
teen acres of land at Fourteenth street
and Hemphill avenue to be used as a
site for the new tire manufacturing
plant of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company.
Among the Bills Introduced
Among the bills already introduced
in the assembly are a number of
measures providing for an Income tax
and other sources of new revenue;
numerous measures to recognize the
State Highway Department and add
mileage to the State Highway Sys
tem, now limited to 6,300 miles; vari
ous proposals to increase the, state
gasoline tax from 4 cents per galloD
to 5 or 6 cents; one bill proposing a
bond isuse of $100,000,000 for state
highways; another bill proposing “cer
tificates of indebtedness" to the
amount of $100,000,000 for roads agd
$25,000,000 for education
Senator Goode, of the Thirty-first
District, introduced a bill that would
create a state department of laws and
provide the attorney general with
three assistants instead of one, as at
present. The bill would fix the salary
of the attorney general at $6,000 pei
year; one assistant at $4,000 and the
other assistants at $3,000 each. There
is also pending in the senate a bil
to allow the attorney general $1,20(
additional compensation for sitting in
as a member of the workman’s com
pensation board.
