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. hm 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. P Id •> !
