MAY 9, IDi: Attention! Now It's Sandals for Girls Of That Gay Paree! F TU EQW Clarke County Representative to j Push Bill in Legislature. 1 Wide Demand for It. By JAMES B. NEVIN. Representative Frank A. Upscomb 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 dtacuaacd favorably by the press of the State time and again, Imt so far no serious effort has been made to frame the suggestion into a workable iaw. Mr. Lipscomb has made a study of mx conditions In Georgia however, and baa reached the conclusion that the only practical and equitable met fi l'd of Increasing the revenue of the State, without elevating the tax rate, dwells within the creation of a tax equalizing board. The bill, it is understood, already has l»een 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 changer, if any. as he may sug gest likely w ill he made in the meas ure before It is presented Mr. Lipscomb is a new- member of the Legislature. He is a young man, around 25, 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 flell of State politics. He is one of Athens' leading busi ness men. s scion of an old and dis tinguished Georgia family, an ex tremely likeable sort of person, and is •ure 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 time, but his bill to create a Board of Tax Equalisers will be his pat project, and the one ne Is most deeply inter ested in. There is no doubt whatever that the bill will receive hearty and strong support from many members of In fluence. and the prospect of the nlF becoming a law' generally is looked upon as exceedingly bright. Former Sheriff of M<;lXiftie County. ♦ he Honorable "Shade” Hawes, one of the leading citizens of Thomas HJ. Watson s well-known town of Thom son, is, and for several days has been, a visitor in Atlanta’s delighted midst Mr. Hawes Is credited with being one of the very shrewdest political ob servers In the i&tate. end moves hith er and yon in most mysterious way his .wonders to perform. He has an idea, however really, it is An obses sion—that his home town of Thomson 1» possessed of more automobiles than any other town of its size in the world. He claims that there are r»8 machines 1n Thomson, notwithstand ing the fact that it has been disputed there is Toom enough in Thomson for even one-balf so many. One irreverent person asked the Sheriff if it was true that they had to run the sewerage system in Thomson straight up in the air to keep 1t in side the cornerste 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 his 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 Ids opinion upon that section of the Code, whicu 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 way. All the (Seorgla newspapers and all the Georgia politicians are congratu lating Editor Dick Grubb and renew ing their good wishes to him that The Darien Gazette has achieved its for tieth birthday, and is as bright and snappy to-day as when it was a tnei journalistic kiddo. “Old Dlctf* Grubb has been a labor er in the newspaper vineyard many moons, and la generality beloved throughout the State.

Four years ago the Legislature changed the charter, at the request of Council, providing for ward primar ies; but the system has not proved satisfactory to a great portion of the Voters. It is desired by citizens that a voter be allowed to cast his ballot for Aldermen, regardless of which ward he may reside in. This local legiulation in Griffin will 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 aw ay from, and it may he j that Representative Connor’s blfi wi’! suggest many another of a similar! sort from other cities In the State.

In their place has been selected tho old - rsnnioned san* dal. and it looks ns if it had come to stay. In fact, so complete baa 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 stork of sandals.
