I PLANS II SEAT J {v. ,lv & Need of Board To Readjust As sessments Urged By Many— Georgia Political Gossip. 1 V Y^:t By JAMES B. NEVIN.

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.

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."

"In counties where there is a fence law," i<ays Dr. Bahnson, "the disease is not ay bed as it has been. It con tinue? to ba bad 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 wiping it out. The deaths are among razorbacks, the 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 there has been a decrease instead of an increase. briiiifs pcrieei cesium—«— injures the fabric!
