TAXATION TERMED
BIGGEST OUESTION
FACING ASSEMBLY
Taxation measures should occupy
the principal attention of the Geor
gia legislature, which convenes next
month, in the opinion of Representa
tive Thomas Davis, of Meigs.
"We should, in my opinion, give
this subject all the time of the ses
sion if necessary to dispose of it,”
Mr. Davis says.
“As a rule, I believe legislatures
waste too much time on comparative
ly trivial measures. They ignore or
overlook the big things or at least
do not give them sufficient consid
eration.”
Continuing, Representative Davis
said:
“Our system of taxation is like
the house built by the poor man in
Atlanta that Henry Grady wrote
about. It is made of patches in
many instances which are inequit
able and injudicious.
“Judicial procedure in Georgia
should be reformed by a board of
experts with the sole idea of admin
istering justice speedily, honestly
and cheaply. Our present system is
worn out, expensive, cumbersome and
has no stopping place.
“Our civilization is equal to that
of Canada or England. Is there any
good reason why our laws should
not be as promptly, cheaply and ef
ficiently enforced as in t’ir • coun
tries?
Gasoline Tests Expensive
“The inspection of gasoline is un
reasonably expensive in this state.
There is no good reason why we
should not adopt the plan used in
South Carolina or Florida and elim
inate this expense.”
Mr. Davis adds that he will be a
candidate to succeed himself as a
member of the legislature.
On the other hand, there is an
other member of the legislature
whose burning ambition is to retire
from th e legislature, as speedily and
as painlessly as possible. He is Dr.
W. D. Kennedy, senator from the
Forty-ninth senatorial district, who
lives at Metter.
“If the good God of the universe
will forgive m e for getting into poli
tics this one time, I feel sure the
lawmakers of Georgia, will not be
bothered with me again," he said.
“I’ve had more tnan my shar® al
ready. I had a few ideas in mind,
which, if enacted into law, would
have saved our state a few hundred
thousand dollars annually, but it
seems that a majority of both
houses do not stop to consider econ
omy—rather a. question of how much
we can get and how much we can
appropriate, with all letters in the
last word spellewith capitals."
Extra Marriage Fee Asked
Dr. Kennedy says he has only one
measure now which he is interested
in having passed and that is one
that would require those seeking to
be married to pay an additional dol
lar for a marriage license, funds
derived from this source to be used
by local registrars and what is left
by them to be used for keeping a
record for the bureau of vital sta
tistics. He adds that he has not
yet perfected the bill in all its de
tails.
Representative .T. B. G. Logan, of
Homer, says he has no pet. measure
of his own to offer, but states that
he will support any measure that
looks to an equitable distribution of
the burdens of taxation. “There
can be no doubt.” he. says, “that our
tax system needs some revision and
modification. Mr. Logan says also
he expects to be a. candidate to suc
ceed himself in Ranks county.
As the time for the session ap
proaches, the office of Attorney Gen
eral George M. Napier is besieged
by all classes of persons and organ
izations, for aid in drafting pet nieas
■'llrys, to provide for almost every
thing under the sun, it is said.
Assistant Attorney General T. R.
Gress says it is no uncommon mat
ter to receive four to ten such re
quests during the course of a day.
He adds also’ that the office is do
ing all it can to help in the matter
after the business of the state has
been attended to.

Alvin York, Victim of Misfor
tune on Tennessee Farm,
May Receive Special Re
tired Pay From Army
RY ROY GROVE
PALL MALL, Tenn., May 31.—Til
fortune has fdllowed Alvin C. York,
called by Marshal Foch “the great
est hero of the World war.”
He is hard at work on his 400-acre
farm here, given him by the people
of Tennessee.
“It will be a long time before I
can get it into shape,” he explains.
“There is a lot of work to be done,
clearing and cutting. It costs me
nearly $8 a day for the feeding of
my stock alone.
■ “My barn burned down, and 1 :
lost nearly everything I had in it. j
I had hay in there that was three
years old. All but two of my cattle I
were destroyed. The stock we got j
out ran right back into the fire i
again.
Spurns Thousands
“I was surely hard hit. No Insur- '
ance. My farm tools were all de- |
stroyed.
“I cannot get much done around
here because of my right arm. Sort
of rheumatic condition contracted
during the war, caused by exposure.
I guess.
“Yes, T carry insurance, the old
army kind. Costs me about $5.80 a
nibnth. Yes, I could claim disability,
but I am not.”
This man who, almost single-hand
ed. silenced a nest of 35 German ma
chine guns, killed 22 and captured
132 Germans including a major,
could be rich today—but his con
science and deep religious convic
tions prevented him from accepting
movie, vaudeville and lecture con
tracts.
He turned down offers that would
have brought him hundreds of
thousands of dollars and settled on
the 400-acre farm given him by the
people of Tennessee.
Senator McKellar is pressing a
bill in congress to give York the
status and pay of a retired army
I captain—slßo a month.
And York, who has turned down
' tempting contracts, will accept the
was campaign manager for her hus
band in recent state election. Mr.
Quinn was re-elected state commis
sioner of fish and game by large
majority.

Not a Religious Fanatic
“It would come in mighty bandy
and would help a heap,” the big, red
headed. raw-boned mountaineer told
me. "I could certainly use it.
“You know, most people think I
am crazy for not accepting all the
golden offers that have been pushed
my way.
“I know. I have heard them
say, ‘Well, if I had the chance that
York has to make a lot of money.
I sure would hop to if.’
“Folks outside think I am just
a. religious fanatic. But I am not,
though I do believe deeply in re
ligion.
“Most of the people are no differ
ent than I am. and if they were in
my shoes and had the fortune or
misfortune, as you might call it, to
have been through what I have, I
know they would understand me and
feel the same way I do about com
mercializing my life.
Would Fight Again
“Then again. ‘there are types of
people who would go right out and
get the money—but I believe God
does not give such folks the chance.
"The boys who are still over in
France deserve the everlasting hon
or of the people of America. The
people too soon will forget them.”
York was a second e’er in “The
Church of Christ and Christian
Union.” a sect strongly opposed to
war. when the Frentress county
draft board sent him off to the
army. Friends urged him to claim
exemption as a "conscientious ob
jector.” but York refused.
York’s scruples against killing
worried him arid he often talked
with Captain Danforth. his com
manding officer. They discussed the
situation from a biblical standpoint,
and slowly York became convinced
that it was his duty to fight, if nec
essary.

The bodies of five persons, includ
ing one man, two women, a boj' and
a girl baby, who were instantly
killed Sunday morning when the
automobile in which they were rid
ing was struck by Southern rail
road passenger train No. 42 on a
grade crossing near Zebuion, Ga.,
were taken Monday to ’Forsyth, Ga.,
and Thomaston, Ga., for funeral and
interment.
Mr. Sam Stewart, 38 years old;
his wife, 35 years old, and Glenn
Stewart, h's 14-year-old son. till ol
Hampton. Ga.. and Mrs. Charles Hil
liard, of Barnesvoille, and her little
daughter, Lucile Hilliard, were in
stantly' killed in the tragic crash.
Child in Hospital
Little Ronelle Hilliard. another
small daughter of Mrs. Hilliard, also
was in the automobile and was dan
gerously injured. After being given
first aid by Zebulon physicians, she
was rushed to Griffin by automobile
and from there to Atlanta by' train.
At the Atlanta hospital, wnere she
was taken, it was reported Monday
that she was resting easily and prob
ably would recover.
The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Stew
art and their son were taken at
noon over the Central railroad to
Forsyth, for funeral services, while
the bodies of Mrs. Hilliard t>nd her
daughter were taken earlier in the
•lay to Thomaston, where Mis. Hil
liard’s mother resides. They Mill be
taken later from Thomaston to Grif
fin for funeral and interment. Mrs.
Hilliard and her baby will be buried
in the same grave.
Husband Notified
The Stewart family res Med in
Hampton, where Mr. Stewart was
superintendent of the H.imp'on
mills. Mr. Hillard, husband of Mis.
Hilliard, was employed in the same
mills as assistant superintendent
until last week, when he re
signed that position and moved his
family to Barnesville, where he ac
cepted a similar position at the AL
zora mills.
Mr. Hilliard was notified of the
tragedy while attending church in
Barnesville Sunday' morning and im
mediately left the church and went
to Zebulon by automobile.
According to dispatches from
Zebulon and Hampton, the two fam
ilies had been spending the week
end with a sister of Mrs. Stewart,
near Zebulon, and were returning
to their homes in Hampton and
Barnesville, respectively, planning
to drive later in the day to Forsyth,
where J. W. Stewart, a brother of
the dead man. resides.
J. W. Stewart was a member of
the party, driving one automobile
containing several members of his
family, while the automobile driven
by Sam Stewart and containing his
family and that of Mr. Hilliard, was
trailing him.
Failed to Get Warning *
It was stated that J. W. Stewart
and his family saw the approaching
train when they passed the crossing
and attempted frantically to signal
the automobile in their rear. Their
signals, however, apparently were
not observed, and the automobile
driven by Sam Stewart reached the
grade crossing just as the passenger
train roared across.
The train was in charge of Con
ductor J. W Strickland and Engi
neer H. AV. Bradley and was north
bound at the time of the collision.
It was stated, however, that the
customary whistle and bell signals
were being given as the train neared
started to ask him.

SENATE COMMITTEE
PLANS TO SUBPOENA
DAUGHEBTY IN PROBE
WASHINGTON, June I.—A final
wind-up of the long story of Gaston
B. Means, the taking a brief state
ment from Senator Lodge, and a
fracas with A. L. Fink, a volunteer
informant, made Saturday’s record
in the senate Daughtery investiga
tion.
At adjournment Chairman Brook
hart. notified attorneys for H. M.
Daugherty that the committee want
ed to hear the former attorney gen
eral himself next Friday, and got a
promise that his answer to the re
quest would be forthcoming Mon
day.
Senator Lodge came in momentar
ily to make a brief but absolute de-
I nial that he had aided anybody, any
j where, to obtain permits for the ex
! portation of whisky. Means had
j mentioned him on direct examina-
I tion as having been concerned with
j the granting of such permits to
Craven Brothers, a New York, firm.
I The senator said he had never even
heard of the concern.
Fink followed Senator Lodge by
unexpectedly demanding that he be
allowed to go on the stand. He
identified himself as “the man Frank
Vanderlip tried to get for $1,000” to
givei perjured testimony against
President Coolidge, and further as
serting that he wanted to tell some
story about Senator Wheeler, the
committee prosecutor, furnishing li
quor to Roxie Stinson.
i Subdued by the chairman,. Fink
left the room just before Senator
Wheeler entered, and the prosecutor
was unable to get him returned later.
In some detail, Senator Wheeler lat
er charged Fink with falsification,
and the committee identified him as
the man associated with Miss Stin
son. who was the divorced wife of
Jess AV. Smith, in an alleged hotel
“frame up” in Cleveland.
Cross-examining Means. Paul Row
land, attorney for Daugherty, went
over many details of the detective's
charges concerning money carried to
the late Jess Smith. The amount
of money spent by Means in investi
gating prohibition, supposedly at the
behest of President Harding, was fix
ed at $50,000, or more, and the mys
tery about “W. T. Underwood,” who
assisted in that enterprise, was deep
ened when Means agreed that was
a false name, and declared he had re
ceived money from “Underwood” up
to last April.
Means, saying that he did not wish
any false impression to be drawn
from former testimony, declared that
though the “woman's good govern
ment league” had aided the investi
gation of prohibition and H. L.
Scaife a former government investi
gator, had been on his payroll in the
work, there was nothing wrong about
it. He was formally and finally ex
cused from attendance, and w’ill go
to New York, where bis trial on long
pending charges in the federal court

A. L. Fink issued a statement to

I at 4 committee was looking for him

■ day morning with other witnesses to
\ prove a. “dastardly plot” against

Golden-Egg Gooses
Farmers are vitally interested in the life
and well being of the railroads. Like the
good old goose that laid the golden eggs,
the railroads have brought prosperity to
the farmers.
Pondering over their present troubles (troubles
for which the railroads are in no wise respon
sible) some farmers may be misled into being
influenced by the present agitation in the public
mind over the proposed legislation which would
further restrict the practical operations of the
x. railroads. Sober second thought will not let
intelligent, level-headed, fair-minded farmers
take any hand in this. In their
JsSfrKT own interests, they won’t aid
IMvVtk in killing the faithful and help-
hl railroads—their ' Goose of

REVISED ARTICLES
of™™
FAITH ARE RATIFIED
RICHMOND, Ind., May 31.— The
general assembly of the United
Presbyterian church today ratified,
43 of the 44 articles of the revised
statement of faith which came be
fore the body in the form of the re- ’
port of a, committee appointed in
1919. Action on article 28 in the
revised statement was postponed
until next Monday.
Article 28. which deals with th®
kind of sacred music that may b®
used in public worship, has been in
controversy since the statement was
submitted.' All the presbyteries pre- *
viously have indorsed the overture
except article 28.
Present policy of the church is to
use only a metrical version of
psalms in public worship, while ar-«
tide 28 would permit the use of
sacred hymns.
