STATE'S STRESS
St
m
.1
Need of Board To Readjust As
sessments Urged By Many—
Georgia Polittical Gossip.
Wk
} , %
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The income of the State of Georgia
to-day is approximately $6,500,000.
And although that is more than
double what it was fifteen years ago,
it 0-till is barely sufficient to see the
State through its necessities, and fur
ther elevation of the tax rate is it
of the question.
What the State needs, in the opin
ion of many observant men, is
a board of tax equalizers a bo d
that will make the dodgers pay their
just share of the expense of running
the State.*
It is agreed that nobody pays too
much tax—that Is to say, nobody p i -
more than his Just share. On th*
other hand, it is figured that practi
ce ily everybody and everything that
pays as much as $100 pays less than
his or its Just share. •
If the State had a board of tax
equalisers. It Is thought that Its
income might easily be jumped to
$8,000,000 and more, and its tax rate
lowered, in addition to that.
Nothing really helpful has been
done by the Legislature in years to
remedy the annual embarrassment of
the tftale treasury. The Governor,
by constitutional amendment, mu
been authoris'd to borrow in certain
emergencies «s much as $500,000, in
stead of $200,000 as heretofore, but
that helps none in the long run, be
cause th# money has to he paid
back—FFter merely is robbed to pay
Paul.
Also certain corpora lions have been
required to fray their taxes in the fu
ture jit an earlier dale in the fa 1,

Kay ton. a former Savannahan, no\\
a resident of San Antonio, who has
come back to Georgia for a short
visit after an absence of twenty-
thr*e year*.
* The thre* Georgians referred to
are R. M. Johnson, editor of th**
Houston Post and ad interim Senator,
Governor Colquitt, and Clarence Dud
ley, editor of the Fort Worth Record.
£■ "Senator Johnson,” said Mr. Kay-
ton. "was born and reared in Brooks
County. He began his career there
as a printer’s devil. He Is now re
garded as one of the strong men of
the West. Clarence Ousley was born
at Ousley station. Lowndes County,
near Valdosta. As editor of the Fori
Worth Record he exerts a great deal
of influence in the State*. Governor
Colquitt was born and reared in
Thomas County. He went to Texas
about the time 1 did. He made his
mark rapidly.”

If you want your little girl to find
the Bible as Interesting as she will
later find society novels start her in
earnest while she’s still playing with
dolls. That’s the advice of experts at
the fourth annual session of the At
lanta Baptist Training School, who
point with pride to the capabilities of
little Miss Louise Whittaker.
She is able to boast of but ten years,
but her tender age. however, does not
prevent her from really enjoying Bi
ble reading—enjoying it, mind you.
This week she’s bustling busily about
trying to help around the sewing room
and everywhere else that there may
be work going on at the First Baptist
Church where the sessions are being
held. She attends the Oakland City
Baptist Church and seldom is missing
m the Sunday school. Her home
is at n!» Avon Avenue, Oakland City.
Another of the attractive delegates
is .Miss Irene Lemke, of 362 East
G 'orgia Avenue. Miss Lemke is very
proud of her class of twelve tots out
! the Grant Bark Baptist Ohucrh and
» inb avoring to add another seal to
v 1 diploma of merit by her attend-
ince at the training school.

Since Senator Bacon’s Immediate
light to a seat on the floor of the.
Senate has b**en tentatively ques-
1 on* d* in Washington, Georgia law
yers have interested themselves pro
foundly in the problem of just what
effect the ratification of the popular
election amendment to the Federal
Constitution does have upon his stat
us in tho Senate, and some astonish
ing conclusions have been reached,
varying widely in effect.
The question of perfecting Senator
Bacon’s title to a seat in the Senate
is the primary proposition consid
ered, since it is agreed that the State
Democratic Executive Committee will
not force him into another appeal to
tho party for a nomination.
Three Methods Suggested.
There are three methods of perfect
ing the Senator's title to his seat
that have been suggested.
First, it is held by some lawyers
that since the Federal amendment has
not yet been promulgated officially,
and therefore Is not yet in effect, Gov
ernor Brown might call the Legisla
ture in extraordinary session at once
and have it elect Bacon in the old
way.
Second, it is held that ^the Legisla
ture, under the exact terms of the act
proposing the Federal amendment,
might authorize Governor Slaton to
appoint a temporary successor to Sen
ator Bacon, and postpone his election
by the people, if It preferred to do so,
until the next general State election
two years hence.
Third, that the Legislature might
pa a an act immediately upon assem
bling, calling an election for Senator
and have the case passed upon before
adjournment.
While the calling of the Legislature
in extraordinary session by Governor
Brown now would be a more or less
sensational way of perfecting Mr. Ba
con’s title, it is contended that there
could be no legal objection to it, and
that the expense of it would be no more
than the expense of holding a spe
cial senatorial election later on.
Authority for Election.
The authority for the second meth
od of procedure is found in the clause
proposing the amendment, which
reads: "When vacancies happen in
the representation of any State in
the Senate, the executive authority of
the State shall issue writs of election
to till such vacancies; provided
that the legislature of any State may
empower the executive thereof to
make temporary appointment until
the people All the vacancies by elec
tion as tho Legislature directs.”
Tho proposers of this suggestion
hold that it would prove less expen
sive to the State than either of the
other two methods.
The third method proposed would
be about as expensive as a special
session of tlie Legislature now, hut
it still would leave the tentative ques
tion of Senator Bacon’s immediate
right to a seat in the Senate unan
swered.
The result aimed at in all of these
propositions is the same, of course—
that is. tHe perfecting of Senator Ba
con's title to his seat. It is not with
in the range of the remotely proba
ble that he will have Democratic op
position.
If opposition should develop or his
immediate title be challenged in Con
gress, the question of perfecting his
title and when and how would be
come at once most acute, and it is
this phase of the problem that has
caused some Georgia lawyers to delve
so deeply into the situation, with the
astonishing variety of opinion pro
duced.
Pete’s' Devourer Is
Beyond Pale of Law j
Recorder Broyles Seeks in Vain for
Statute Justifying Punishment
for Chameleon.
In response to numerous Inquiries
from “sympathetic” citizens, who
have written letters of “condolence”
to both Recorder Nash Broyles and
The Georgian, the Recorder to-day
luled that there is no law to punish
the chameleon that so pitilessly swal
lowed "Pete,” the court room fly and
the Recorder’s official pet.
Judge Broyles said:
"I wish to state publicly through
The Georgian to all of those who have
expressed sympathy over the tragi*
fate of my pet fly. ‘Pete,’ that there
is no legal way in which this crime
can be punished. I wish to assure
these solicitous friends, who had
come to love ‘Pete’ by seeing so much
of him in The Georgian, that the ex
treme penalty of the law would be in
voked on the chameleon if it were
possible to handle it at all. But both
Recorder Pro Tem Preston and my
self have sought in vain through the
statutes—even the Federal laws.
Nothing can be done.”
The Georgian is in receipt of a let
ter to-day, signed “Subscriber,” in
which a strong plea is made for the
punishment of the chameleon. The
suggestion also came to the court to
day that some kind of memorial be
planned for th© late “Pete.”

Fence Law Great Aid in Eradicat
ing Disease Spread Mostly by
Straying Razorbacks.
STODDARDIZE
For Grand Opera!
Hog cholera, while not yet ' com
pletely under control, is decreasing,
says Dr. P. F. Bahnson, State Vet-
ernarian, commenting upon the Fed
eral report of losses* in Georgia swine
herds from this disease.
"In counties .where then* is a fence
law,” says Dr. Bahnson, “the disease
is not as had as it has been. It con-
tinues to be had in the open range
counties, where the hogs are allowed
to stray at will, and spread the dis
ease broadcast, for you know a sick
hog never stays at home.
"The money loss from this* disease
no longer is heavy, for the owners of
good grades of hogs are w iping it out.
The deaths are among razorbacks, tho
kind you have to run down with dogs
or shoot when you want them. And
razorback hogs probably are worth
on an average less than $1.50 apiece.”
The Federal report, issued yester
day. placed the losses in Georgia at
about 165 per 1.000 head, an increase
over last year. Dr. Bahnson believes
W OMEN should have their Evening Gowns, Wraps,
etc, STODDARDIZED—because STODDARD-
IZING is the scientific process of Dry Cleaning which
brings perfect results—and NEVER injures the fabric!
Men, too, should have their clothes STODDARDIZED—
for the same reasou.
