Til K ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. MAN' fJ. 101T | Attention! Now It’s Sandals for Girls Of That Gay Paree! 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. of modistes women’s Former Sheriff of M<T>uftie County, the Honorable "Shade” Hawes, one of the leading citizens of Thomas ft. Watson's w f ell-known town of Thom son. is, and for several days has been, a visitor in Atlanta's delighted midat Mr. Hawes is credited with being one of the very shrewdest political ob servers in the State, and moves hith er and yon in most mysterious way to’lSrrSj'i- H « e n XJV' Nature's Banner of sion—that his home town of Thomson Is possessed of more automobiles than any other town of its size in the world. He claimg that there are 56 machines in Thomson, notwithstand ing the fact that ii has been disputed there is room enough in Thomson for even one-half so many. 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 side the corporate limits—but the Sheriff disdained pointedly to com ment upon that.
