Need of Board To Readjust As
sessments Urged By Many—
Georgia Political Gossip.
1 V
Y^:t
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The Income of the State of Georgia
to-day Is approximately Ifi.r.DO.OOO,
And although that I* more than
double what it was fifteen years ago,
it ptlll ,1s barely sufficient to see (In
mate through its necessities, and fur
ther elevation of the tax rate is jut
of the question.
What the State needs, in the opin-
_ Ion of many observant men. is
a board of tax equalisers— a board
— 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 pa s
_ more than his just share. On the
other hand. It is figured that practi
cally everybody and everything that
_ pays as much as 1100 pays less than
his or its Just share.
~ If tile State had a board of tax
- equalizers, it is thought that its
income might easily he Jumped to
- **.OOO.OOC a ilvl more, and its tax rate
_ lowerede ffc addition to that.
^jtothifcs* really helpful has been
done by the Legislature in years to
_■ lyyedy the annual embarrassment of
the State treasury. The Governor,

emergencies as much as $500,000, in-
■“ <*Ond of $200,000 as heretofore, but

cause the money has to be paid

SWIFTEST TALKER IN THE
HOUSE ASKS SPEED TRIAL
Since Senator Bacon’s immediate
right to a seat on the floor of the
Senate has been tentatively ques
tioned 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 the Senate, and some astonish
ing conclusion!! have been reached,
varying widely in effect.
The question of perfecting Senator
Baron’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
tin 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
pass 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 tlie 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
leads: "When vacancies happen in
tiie 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 the Legislature, directs.’’
The 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 the Legislature now, but
it still would leave the tentative ques
fion 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.
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
ruled 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 tragic
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 Tom 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 tfie court to
day that some kind of memorial be
planned for the late "Pete."

RICHMOND, VA„ April 16—Pro
vision for double-tracking the South
Carolina division which extends from
Cayce, near Columbia, to Jackson
ville, by way of Savannah, a distance
of 314 miles, is contained in the an
nual budget of the Seaboard Air Line,
just announced. The total amount
appropriated for improvements is $2.-
500,000. It Is estimated that fully
one-half of this, if not more, will
be necessary to double-track the
South Carolina division.
Among other contemplated im
provements are additional phosphate
elevators at Tampa and Fernandina,
Florida.
President Harahan announces that
a conference of officials will be held
next week in connection with the pro
posed removal of the general offices
from Portsmouth. One report has it
that the offices will be located at
Jacksonville.
