Clirke County Representative to
Push Bill in Legislature.
Wide Demand for It.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
ReFrank A. Upicomb
of Clark# County will Introduc e early
In the forthcoming session of the Leg-
imature a bill providing for the crea
tion of a State Board of Tax Equal
izers.
The nec essity for such a board has |
heen discussed favorably by the press
of the State time and again, but so |
far no serious effort has bean made to
frame the suggestion Into a workable
law.
Mr. Lipscomb has made a study of
tax condition* in Georgia however,
and has reached the conclusion that
the only practical and equitable meth
od of Increasing the revenue of the
State, without elevating the tax rate
dwells wlthi/i ihe creation of a tax
equalizing board.
The bill, it i» understood, already
has been prepared by Mr. Lipscomb,
but before it is offered it will be
passed upon by one of the moat 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 is a new member of
the Legislature. He is a young man.
around 35, 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 bis forthcoming term
in the House of Representatives will
be his first service In the broader fleli
of State politics.
He is one of Athens' leading busi
ness men. a scion of an old and dis
tinguished Georgja family, an **x-
tremely likeable sort of person, and is
sure to take a high stand 1n 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 hi# pet project,
and the one he Is moat deeply int«*"-
estedv in.
There is no doubt whatever that the
bilj will receive hearty and strung
support from many members of In
fluence, and the prospect of the nl!
becoming a law generally is looked
upon as exceedingly bright.

there is room enough in Thomson for

One irreverent person asked th©
Sheriff if it was true that they had to
run the sewerage system in Thomson
straight up in the air to keep it in

Sheriff disdained pointedly to com

expressed an opinion that should
prove of widespread interest in Geor
gia
in giving his interpretation of the
present prohibition law, the jurist de
clared that it "is illegal for one person

upon that section of the Code vvhic.'i

As r result of his charge, a rigid
investigation of Rome's two locker
clubs is under way.

Representative-elect W H Donnoi
of 6pald1ng County, will introduce
two interesting local bills In the Gen
oral Assembly soon after it convene.-
Tbe first is one to provide for tin
election of the Griffin City Education ;
Board by the people, rather than b> ;
the cpiun ii as has been the custom ,
In the past, and the other is to amen
the* charter of Griffin ho that ward I
primaries will be abolished and th
old plan of general elections be n
t uroed
Four years ago the Legislature
changed the charter at the request of
Council, providing for ward primar
les; but the system ha® not proved
satisfactory to a great portion of the
voters. It is desired by citizens that ..
voter be allowed to cast his ballot fee
Aldermen, regard Tees of which ward
he may reside in.
This local legislation in Griffin wi ! l
be interesting to many cities in Geor-\
gia that have operated for a go
many years under the very same dis
advantages tha* Griffin is undertak
ing- to yet awaS from, and it may bej
that Representative Connor’s bill w i i
suggest many another of h similar!
sort from other cities in the State.

IMITEIOU
The old Greek fashion 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 nnd 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 baa
been selected tbe old-rasmoned san
dal. and it looks as if It had come
to .stay.
Jn fact, so complete lias been the
change of fashion in this respect
that several of the famous Parisian
stores, which cater particularly to
the fashionable class, have put in a
great stock of sandals.
Along the boulevards, women are
seen parading ai all hours, wearing
sandals fastened to their feet by
prettily colored ribbon in a band
around their ankles
Adherents of the new style de
clare it of great benefit to the health
of the person wearing them
Suppleness and flexibility
argue, are the feature

The call for books, used to make
a record of subscription?* and votes
and to furnish a 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 those books to callers
takes a good deal of his time.
Bo the contest is well under way.
The ponies, too, are here. The be**t
ponies in the Tennessee bluegrass
