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. In charging a Floyd County Grand Jury. Judge Moses Wright recently expressed an opinion that should prove of widespread interest in Geor gia. In giving Ids interpretation of the present prohibition law. the Jurist de clared that it “Is illegal for one person to order liquor for another ' The Rome Judge bases tils opinion upon that section of the Code whlcu says that it shall be illegal to “con tract to sell, take orders for or solicit personally or by agent." As a result of his charge, a rigid Investigation of Rome's two locker clubs is under wny. All the Georgia newspapers and all the Georgia politicians are congratu lating Editor Dick Grubb and renew lng their good wishes to him that The Darien Gazette has achieved its for tieth birthday, and is as bright avid snappy to-day as when it was a met Journalistic kiddo “Old Dick” Grubb has been a labor er in the newspaper vineyard many moons, and is generallly beloved throughout the State. For years his weekly column of paragraphic com ment upon men and tilings In Georgia I —rarely other than kindly and eunn\ j tempered—hae been looked forward to by many. Everybody will wish The Darien i Gazette many happy returns of th* day, and its editor many years of usefulness yet to come 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. Representative William H. Burut J of Hancock County, is spending a few days in Atlanta. While 1 re he con ferred with several of his Tien is about his speakership race. H* tv« agsured of election on the first bai' White City Park Now Open I 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.
