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 th» crea
tion of a State Board of Tax Equal
izers.
The necessity for such a board ha*
been discussed favorably by the press
of the State time and again, but .«ro
far no serious effort ha« been made to
frame the suggestion Into a workable
la w.
Mr Lipscomb has made a study of
conditions In Georgia, however,
tax
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 within the creation of a tax
equalizing board.
The bill. It iw understood, already
has been prepared by Mr. Llpscorno,
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 is a new member of
the Legislature. He 1s a young man,
around 85, 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 fie 1J
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 irtiportaot
legislative proposals to submit to the
General Assembly in due course of
time, but his bill to create n Board of
Tax Equalizers will be his pet project,
and the one he is most deeply inte
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 r»l!I
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
Watson's well-known town of Thorn
son, Is. and for several days has been
a visitor 1n Atlanta’s delighted midst.
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
his wonders to perform. He has an
Idea, however—really, it Is an obses
sion—that his home town of Thomson
is possessed of more automobiles than
any other town of Its size In the
world. He claims that there are i»d
machines in Thomson notwithstand
ing the fact that it has been disputed
there is room enough in Thomson for
even one-half 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 it in
side the corporate limits—but the
Sheriff disdained pointedly to com
ment upon thut.
In charging a Klovd County Grand
Jury, Judge Moses Wright recent!\
expressed an opinion that should
prove of widespread Interest In Geor
gia.
In giving his Interpretation 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 opini >n
upon that section of the Code whlcn
says that it shall be illegal to "con
tract to fK*i 1, 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 Georgia newspapers and all
the Georgia politicians are congrat \
la ting Editor Dick Grubb and renew
Ing their good wishes to him that The
Darien Gazette has achieved its foi
tleth birthday, and is as bright am
snappy to-day as when it was a met
Journalistic kiddo.
••Old Dick” Grubb has been a labor
er in the newspaper vineyard man-
moons, and isp generally helo\ ct>
throughout the State. For years his
weekly ■ column of paragraphic com
ment upon men and things in Georgl
—rarelv other than kindly and eunnv
tempered —ha*» been looked forward
to by many.
Everybody will wish The Darien
Gazette many happy returns of th
day, and Its editor many years of
usefulness yet to come.

Th« 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 and vivacious women
are wearing sandals!
The high heel shoe and the oft
painful by bent arch, has now been
‘'given the Look." In their place has
been selected the old -ra-moped san
dal. and it looks as If it had come
to at«>.
In 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 l > s 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 i n u band
around their ankle
Adherents of the new style de
clare it of great benefit to the health
of the person wearing them.
Suppleness arid flexibility, modistes
argue, are the feature of women’s
dress of the present day

Representative-elect YV. H Gonnoi
of Spalding County, will ■ introdm
two interesting local bills in the Gen
era! Assembly soon after it convene-
The first is one to provide for th
election of the Griffin Pity Education
Board by the people, rather than by
the Council, as has been the custom
in the past, and the other Is to amen
the charter of Griffin so that ward
primaries will be abolished and tin i
old plan of general elections be re
turned.
Four years ago the Legislature
changed the charter, at the request,of
Council, providing for ward primal
ies: but the system has not proved!
satisfactory to a great portion of the
voters. It is desired by citizens that .. i
voter be allowed to ast his ballot fo !
Aldermen, regardless of which ward
he may reside in.
This local legislation in Griffin w i
be interesting to many cities in Geor
gia that have operated for a good
many years under the very same dis !
advantages that Griffin i« undeiiak
ing to get awa\ from, ana it may m
that Representative Connor’s bill wi
suggest many another of a sim
sort from other cities in the Slate.

Anyone can nominate a contestant
for the pony outfits which the Geor
gian and American will give away as
prizes. * s
This has been explained before, but
many people still ask, so It may be
well to state It again.
All that is necessary is to send in u
nomination blank Pa rents, 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
no me
. The call for books, used to make
a record of subscript lorn* and votes
and to furnish jj receipt to the sub
scribers. shows that all are making
an early start. One employee of th*-
Georgian and American finds the dis
tribution of them- books to callers
taI « s a good deal of his time
So the contest Is well under way.
The ponies, too, are here. The beet
ponies in the Tennessee bluegra&s
section- twelve of them - have been
purchased by an expert delegated to
the task by the Georgian and Ameri-
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
havo your best friend my:
“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 I didn’t know you were in the
race, and George asked me first."
Think what a disappointment that
would be.
The only way to avoid such dls-
oncerting replies is to be the early
bird yourself.
An early start, too, gives you ex
perience of a useful sort ahead of
tho other contestants, and the result
will h" that when you have become
an adept at securing subscript ions,
your rivals will be floundering around
for a start.
So, by all, means, if you have not
entered the race for one of the
twelve pony outfits b.v now. #end in
.vour 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. v
And are you clipping the daily cou
pons in the Georgian and the Sun-
das American'.’ And are your friends
saving * heirs for you'.' They count
up rapidly if you can get several
friend's* to help.
