C»k or credit Houston Gives Interview On The Tax Question V The following is clipped from The Atlanta Journal’s Fiday issue on views of Georgia solons on legisla tion: John C. Houston, of Gwinnett county, marks tax feviston as by far the biggest problem for the leg islature, listing highway legislation and biennial sessions as next in or der. He says: “The passage of a just and equitable tax law is unquestionably the most important legislation that will come up this summer, because it affects every citizen of the state. The constant and continual agitation of this question, which occurrence, is injuriouss to businesss and tends to aggravate unsettled conditions. Therefore, it should be nettled right. I think the members of the assembly should show a spirit of co-operation in the solution of this question, but I fear, form advanced reports, that too many plans will he proposed and fostered. This will result in lots of eonfasskon and Will end in failure unless we are very careful. The success of the session, in my judge ment, depends upon the manner in which this big questionis handled.” NWRCROSS CORRES PONDENT WRITES CLIPPING ATLANTA / GEORGIAN. Richard B. Russell, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, is; benig talked about somewhat ex tensively throughout ithe state as a candidate for the United States Sen-; ate, in the primaries of 1924. The judge’s last face for the Su preme Owurt demonstrated the fact that he Isas a large «nd aggressive following in Geogia; he was elected to the chief justiceship, -easily enough. Calls .to mind a story I heard in connectiun with his -last campaign. One constituent, importuned politely to vote Tor the judge, replied: “I shall do nothing of the sort, although I have no objection whatsoever to you being Chief Justice; I think you are qualified for the.job. The trou ble with spciu, Dick,/is grou won’t ‘stay set.’ No sooner will you get seated in the Cifcef Justice’s chair than you will begir, running -ff>or something ■else!” The jiißge has been Chief Justice since January 1, 1923. However, for those interested we relay this bit of editorial comment from the Vidalia Advance, in the di rection it is intended to go: “To Bill Upshaw, Dick Russell et al- Bet ter let Bill Harris alone!” Senator 'Harris is a hard worker, knows how to get things done, has the experience, is loyal to his con stituency. Would it be wise to send a new man to the United States Sen ate from Gwgiaito trail’.atfull term ami even then not measure up to Harris’ record, which -would most likely be true df any -man 'Georgia might send in place of the r.mpire State’s senior Senator. No, let’s not change while the incumbent serves this commonwealth so faithfully and effectively. Geographically speaking the two men mentioned for Senatorial honor are our neighbors and we feel most kindly tinward thenn and acknowledge in them integrity and ability.
