ONE SENATE SEAT
W 10 IN HOUSE
YET ED BE FILLED
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —One vacancy in
the senate and ten in the house re
main to be filled before the conven
ing? of congress. In most cases the
contests will be decided on November
6, the general state election day.
The senate seat vacant is that for
merly occupied by the late William
P. Dillingham, Republican, Vermont.
Former Representative Porter H.
Dale, Republican, and Park H. Pol
lard, a first cousin of President Coo
lidge, but a Democrat, are the con
testants for this place.
In the house there are four vacan
cies in the New York delegation and
one each in the Arkansas, Illinois.
Kentucky, Mississippi, North Caro
lina and Vermont delegations In the
last election Democrats were return
ed in all of these districts except
two, the Thirty-second New York and
the Second Vermont. Should the
Democrats hold their ground in the
coming contests, they would have
a total of 2CB members in the house
and the Republicans 224, with * ie
farmer labor, one independent ana
one socialist. Thus the Republican
plurality would be only sixteen as i
compared with 170 in the last con
gress, while its majority over all par
ties would be only 13.
Counting ; Republican victory in
Vermont, the majority party will
have solid delegations in the house
from only ten states—ldaho. lowa,
Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wis
consin and Wyoming—as against
twelve solid delegations in the Dem
ocratic column —Alabama Arizona,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Douisi
ana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mex
ico North Carolina South Carolina
and Virginia. In the last congress
the Republicans had solid delegations
from twenty-three states and the
Democrats from only nine states.
Should the Republican candidate
be elected in Vermont, the Repub
licans will have fifty-one members
of the senate and the Democrats for
ty-three, with two farmer-labor sen
ators. The Republicans’ plurality
would be eight as compared with
twenty-one irt the last congress, while
their majority over the other two
parties would be only six.
sixteen states will have sol'd Re
publican delegations in the senate
and twelve will hold solid Democrtic
delegations. In nineteen states the
delegations will be divided between
these two parties, and one state, Min

Ft. Gaines Fire Chief,
Hurt in Cotton Fire,
In Critical Condition
FORT GAINES, Ga., Oct. 25.
Georg© Coleman, chief of the Fort
Gaines fire department, who was
caught under a falling wall while
fighting a fire Wednesday in the
Mcßae Brothers’ cotton warehouse,
is in a critical condition, according
to physicians. He suffered a frac
tured skull and a broken hip, and
his lungs also were injured.
C. E. Russell, another member of
the fire department, suffered a bro
ken foot and, it is feared, internal
injuries. Floyd Puckett, who suf
fered bruises about the head and
body, is not seriously hurt.
Cotton stored in the warehouse Is
still smouldering. The total loss
will amount to at least $75,000, only
partly covered by insurance. E. W.
Killingsworth, with about 100 bales
stored in the building, is the
heaviest loser, with partial insur
ance. Many small farmers lost
their entire crop in the fire. In all.
350 bales of cotton, 75 tons of cot
ton seed and 75 tons of peanuts
were lost. The products which were
placed with co-operative associa
tions were fully protected by in
surance.
KU KLUX MEETING
15 ENDED IN BULLAS
WITH BIG INITIATION
DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 25—The Ku
Klux Klan, 30,000 of whose mem
bers gathered here Wednesday,
faded from public view here today.
Festivities and ceremonies at the
State fair of Texas were concluded
and special trains took visitors
home, mostly to places in the south
west. The klan officials came from
all over the country.
Klan day, beginning with the dedi
cation of Hope cottage, declared to
be “the only Institution of its kind
erected solely for the purpose of
caring for the helpless babies that
have come into the world unbid
den” reached a high pitch of en
thusiasm in an address by Imperial
Wizard W. H. Evans, and found its
climax in the initiation at night of
candidates.
In a field amid a pyrotechnic dis
play, a fiery cross burned while a
weird bugle call answered a salute
of twelve guns.
The white forms of about 7,000
robed klansmen appeared across the
field, becoming more distinct. Im
mense American flags were borne
by mounted color guards and then
the fiery cross.
Under the huge cross whose red
letters, “K. K. K.,” seared their im
pression on the vision of the spec
tators an enormous circle of robed
figures was built up before the gaze
of those who had come to watch.
It took fully 36 minutes for the
entire parade to pass a given point,
while not the least impressive part
of the ceremony was the group of
women members in the parade.
The imperial wizard and other
national officers wore robes of yel
low, blue and other colors, symbolic
of their high standing in the order.
Gray Man Fires on
Negro at His Door
GRAY, Ga., Oct. 25.—Tuesday
night W. M. McMullin, who lives
near Gray, heard a noise at his door.
He failed to go at once and the
noise continued. He got his pis
tol and went to the window and
threw a flashlight out on a negro
standing near the de or. He told the
regro to throw up his hands and he
refused. He then fired at the ne
gro who in turn threw a stick at
him. He fired again but the negro
made his escape. About six months
ago he had a negro sent up for
breaking into his house. The negro
evidently did not intend robbery as
it was early in the night.

REPORT MAY ASK
LAW ENFORCE
TAX EQUALIZATION
BY RALPH SMITH
A subcommittee of two members,
consisting probably of Dr. J. H. T.
McPherson, of Athens, and Repre
sentative R. C. Ellis, of Tift county
will draft the report of Governor
Walker’s special tax commission
that is to be submitted to the extra
session of the legislature. The sub
committee will prepare its draft un
der instructions, and recommenda
tions will conform closely to princi
pies of taxation agreeable to the en
tire personnel of the commission.
With a tentative plan of this kind
in mind, the membership of the com
mission, sitting in executive session
in the governor’s office, Thursday
morning began the consideration of
principles that are to be enunciatea
in the report.
After certain fixed principles are
agreed upon, the sub-committee will
prepare a draft of the legislative re
port, in which the principles will be
reduced to concrete form, and their
application to the revenue require
ments of the state amplified.
Although Governor Walker and
members of the commission were ret
icent about the progress of their
work Thursday morning, it is be
lieved that the body will experience
little or no difficulty in agreeing:
First, that a scientific budget sys
tern is absolutely essential;
Second, that a graduated Income
tax, with a constitutional limitation
as to the maximum rate and with
lower exe--.iptlo.-s than the federal
income tax act, will be treated pref
erentially as a means of supplement
ing the present ad valorem system.
Old Law May Stand
Negatively, it may be stated that
there is small likelihood that the tax
commission will either commend or
condemn the tax equalization law,
but will urgently insist upon better
administrative machinery and the
importance of a permanently stabil
ized system of taxation.
Members of the commission were
pleased Thursday morning to learn
that Group 1 of the Georgia Bank
ers’ association, on Wednesday, at
Brunswick, unanimously adopted res
olutions to stand behind the commis
sion’s report. J. S. Peters, of Man
chester, president of the bankers’ as
sociation, and a member of the com
mission, brought the news from
Brunswick.
“The bankers of Group 1 are ear
nestly hopeful that the tax system
of the state will be stabilized,” Mr.
Peters told his fellow commission
ers. “They voted unanimously to
hold up the hands of this commis
sion in its effort at tax reform.
“While they indorse no particular
plan of taxation, they are not op
posed to an income tax and are per
suaded that better enforcement ma
chinery is absolutely essential.”
Governor Is Pleased
Governor Walker, Thursday morn
ing, expressed satisfaction that the
tax commission is about to complete
its work, and that the members
have engaged in the preparation of
their report in a spirit of harmony
and co-operation. .He would not
venture a prediction as to when the
report would be ready, nor whether
it would be made public before being
transmitted to the extra session of
the legislature.
“We are now engaged in thresh
ing out principles, and until we
have reached an agreement as to
fundamentals no steps will be made
toward drafting the text of the re
port,” said the governor. “That
duty then probably will be delegated
to a sub-committee.
“I am personally very much grati
fied at the patriotic work done by
the members of the commission. It
has been a labor of love with them.
They have given up valuable time
to the study and consideration of
this problem. They have traveled
at their own expense and they have
approached the big subject in a spirit
of fairness, in the hope of arriving at
a solution that will relieve a crying
need in Georgia—a stabilized, equit
able, adequate system of taxation.”
The governor remarked upon the
state-wide interest that has been
created by the work of the tax com
mission—an interest which he be
lieves clearly demonstrates that the
people of Georgia are aroused on
the subject and keenly alive to the
importance of tax reform at an
early date.

Father of Children
Burned at Phenix City
Protests Innocence
OPELIKA, Ala., Oct. 25.—1. H.
Hart, under arrest here In connec
tion with a fire at Phenix City a
week ago in which his three small
children were burned to death,
Thursday protested his Innocence.
“If any one burned my home and
children I want them caught,” Hart
declared in an interview, the first
since his arrest Sunday night.
“Never was a more ghastly crime
committed and the guilty party
must be made to suffer. -
“As to myself, why they could
suspect me, I don’t know. I have
witnesses who were with me every
minute I was away from home.
How I could have applied the torch
before I left when the fire didn’t
break out untitl four hours after
ward. I loved my children as much
a 3 a father could. Our home life
was ideal and my wife is sticking to
me as steadfastly as a wife could.
“They say my children were in
sured for S6OO. That is true, but
my furniture, worth $1,200, was not
insured and we lost a brand new
piano costing $350.
“It is cruel to hold me here when
my wife needs me. To have com;
mitted such a deed is unthinkable.
