Clarke County Representative to
Push Bill in Legislature.
Wide Demand for It.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Representative Frank A. Lipscomb
of Clarke County will Introduce early
in the forthcoming session of the Leg
islature a bill providing for the crea
tion of a State Board of Tax Equal
izers.
The necessity for such a board has
been discussed favorably by the press
of the State time and again, but so
far no serious effort has been made to
frame the suggestion Into a workable
law.
Mr. Lipscomb has made a study of
tax conditions In Georgia, however,
and has reached the conclusion that
the only practical and equitable meth
od of Increasing thfe revenue of the
Htate, without elevating the tax rate,
dwells within the creation of a tax
equalizing board.
The bill, It is understood, already
has been prepared by Mr. Lipscomb,
but before it is offered it will be
passed upon by one of the most emi
nent authorities on statutory and con
stitutional law within the State, and
such changes, if any, as he may sug
gest likely will be made in the meas
ure before It is presented.
Mr. Lipscomb 1h a new member of
the Legislature. He is a young man.
around 36, and has had some experi
ence in legislative and administrative
work on the City Council of Athens,
of which he was three times elected
a member, but his forthcoming term
in the House of Representatives will
be his first service In the broader flei3
of State politics
He is one of Athens’ leading busi
ness men, a scion of an old and dis
tinguished Georgia family, an ex
tremely likeable sort of person, and is
sure to take a high stand in the Leg
islature from the day he is given the
oath of a Representative.
Mr. Lipscomb has other important
legislative proposals to submit to the
General Assembly in due course of
lime, but his bill to create a Board of
Tax Equalizers will be his pet project,
and the one he is most deeply inter
ested in.
There is no doubt whatever that the
bill will receive hearty and strong
support from many members of *ln
fluence, and the prospect of the bill
becoming a law generally is looked
upon as exceedingly bright.
Former Sheriff of McDuffie County,
the Honorable “Shade” Hawes, one of
the leading citizens of Thomas' E.
Watson's well-known town of Thom
son, is. and for several days has beep,
a* visitor in Atlanta's delighted midst.
Mr. Hawes is credited with being
one of the very shrewdest political ob
servers in the iBtate. and moves hith
er and yon in most mysterious way
his wonders to perform. He has an
idea, however—really, it is an obsop
tion—that hts home town of Thomson
1s possessed of more automobiles thin
any other town of its size in th*
world. He claims that there are 56
machines in Thomson, notwithstand
ing the fact thal it has been disputed
there is room enough in Thomson for
even one-half so many.
One irreverent person asked the
Hheriff if it was true that they had to
run the sewerage system in Thomson
straight up in the air to keep it in
side the corporate limits—but the
Sheriff disdained pointedly to com
ment upon that.

Representative-elect W H Conn :
of Spalding County v\ i introdu
two interesting local bills in the Gen
eral Assembly soon after it conven. s
The first is one to provide for tin
• election of the Griffin City Education
Board by the people, rather than by
the Council, as has been the custom
In the past, and the other is to ana n
the charter of Griffin so that ward
primaries will be abolished and tin*
eld plan of general elections be i
turned.
Four years ago the Legislature
♦ hanged the charter, at the request of
Council, providing for ward primar
ies; but the system has rot proved
satisfactory to a great portion of 11. —
voters. Jt is desired by citizens that
voter be allowed to cast his ballot for
Aldermen, regardless of which ward
he may reside in.
This local legislation in Griffin w >
be interesting to many cities In Geor
gia that have operated for a good
many years under the very same dis
advantages that Griffin is undertak
ing to get away from, and it may b
that Representative Connor’s bill w
suggest many another of a sine...,
sort from other cities in the State.

The old Greek fAahlon of dressing,
including draped skirts and waists,
long ago was taken up by the women
of Paris and from there carried
around the globe, has now reached
the feet.
For to-day the elite of the French
women, who set the fashion for that
city of pretty and vivacious women
are wearing sandals!
The high heel shoe and the oft
painful by bent arch, has now been
“given the hook." In their place has
been selected the old-Tasruoned san
dal, and it looks as if It had come
to stay.
In fa< l, so complete has been the
change of fashion in this respect
that several of the famous F’arisian
stores, which cater particularly to
the fashionable class, have put in a
great stock of sandals.
Along the boulevards, women are
seen parading at all hours, wearing
sandals fastened to their feet by
prettily colored ribbon in a band
around their ankles.
Adherents of the new style de-
d&re it of great benefit to the health
of the person wearing them.
Suppleness and flexibility, modistes
argue, are the feature of women’s
dress of the present day.

banner of “Votes fijr Women” and
the suffragist garden is the means by

Strong Lead Will be Gained
Over Your Rivals by Enter
ing Competition Early.
Anyone can nominate a contestant
for the pony outfits which the Geor
gian and American will give away a a
prizes.
This has been examined before, but
many people at 111 ask, so it may be
well to state it again.
All that Is necessary is to send in a
nomination blank. Parents, uncles,
aunts, friends, or even the contestant
may make the nomination, and the
result is the same—the name is listed,
and 1,000 votes are credited to the
name.
The caJl for books, used to make
a record of subscription? and votes
and to furnish « receipt to the sub
scribers, shows that all are making
an early start. One employee of the
Georgian and American finds the dis
tribution of these books to callers
take* a good deal of his time,
Bo the contest Is well under way.
The ponies, too. are here. The befft
ponies In the Tennessee bluegrass
section—twelve of them—have been
purchased by an expert delegated to
the task by the Georgian and Ameri
can.
Early Start Counts,
Remember that an early start
counts for much A big lead over your
friends and 'acquaintances before
they are approached by the other
boys and girls.
Wouldn’t you be disappointed to
have your best friend nay:
“Why. I’ve subscribed to the Geor
gian and American for a year and
have given the subscription to George,
i would have been glad to help you,
but 1 didn’t know you were in the
race, and George asked me first.”
Think what a disappointment that
would be.
The only w'ay to avoid such dis
concerting replies is to be the early
bird yourself.
An early start, too, gives you ex
perience of a useful sort ahead of
the other contestant?, and the result
will be that when you have become
nn adapt at securing subscriptions,
your rivals will be floundering around
for a start.
Bo. by all means, if you have not
entered the race for one of the
twelve pony outfits by now, send in
your nomination blank right away.
If you have entered, be sure to get
the necessary book at once, and get
busy.
Home, you will find, already have
piled up an excellent total for a be
ginning.
And are yon clipping the daily cou
pons in the Georgian and the Sun
day American? And are your friends
saving theirs for you? They count
up rapidly If you can get several
friends to help.
