Clarke County Representative to
Push Bill in Legislature.
Wide Demand for It.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Representative Frank A. Lipscomb
of Clark* County will Introduce early
In the forthcoming Melon of the Leg
islature a bill providing for the crea
tion of a State Board of Tax Squal
lier*.
The deceffllty for each a board has
been discussed favorably by the press
of the Stale time and again, but to
far no serious efTort hae been made to
frame the suggestion Into a workable
law.
Mr Lipscomb hae made e study of
tax condition* 1n Georgia however,
tad hum 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
equalling board.
The bill, It is understood, already
ha* been prepared by Mr. Lipscomb,
but before it is offered it will be
j»aased 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
seat likely will he made in the meas
ure before It Is presented.
Mr. Lipscomb is a new member of
the Legislature. He le a young man.
around 36, and has had some experi
ence in legislative and administrative
work on the City Council of Athens,
of which he was three times elected
s member, but his forthcoming term
in the House of Representatives will
be his first service in the broader flel j

He Is one of Athens leading busi
ness men. n scion of an old and dis
tinguished Georgia family, an ex
tremely likeable sort of person, and is
eure to take a high stand in the Leg
islature from the day he Is given the
oath ota Representative
Mr. Lipscomb has other lmj>ortant
legislative proposals to submit to the
General Assembly in due course of
rime, but his bill to create a Board of
Tax Equalisers will be Ills pet project,
and the one he 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 prospec t of the bill
becoming a law generally is looked
upon as exceedingly bright.

In charging a Floyd County Grand
Jury, Judge Moses Wright recently
expressed an opinion that should
prove of wide*pre«d Interest in Geor
gia.
In giving his interpretation of the
present prohibition law, the jurist de
clared that it "1* illegal for one person
to order liquor for another ”
The Rome Judge bases tils opinion
upon that section of the Code whicn
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 Georgia 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 meiv
journalistic klddo.
"Old Dick” Grubb has been a labor
er in the newspaper vineyard many
moons, and is generally beloved
throughout the 8tat*e. For years his
weekly column of paragraphic com
ment upon men and things in Georgia
—rarely other than kindly and sunny
tempered—has been looked forward
to by many.
Everybody will wish The Darien
Gazette many happy returns of the
day, and its editor many years of
usefulness yet to come.
Representative-elect W H Connor',
of Spalding County, will introduce
two interesting local bills in the Gen
eral Assembly soon after it convenes-
The first Is one to provide for the
election of the Griffin City Education
Board by the people, rather than by
the Council. as has been the custom
in the paM, and the other is to amend
the charter of Griffin so that ward
primaries will be abolished and th»
old plan of general election* be re
turned.
Four years ago the Legislature
changed the charter at the request of
Council, providing for ward priniar-
les; but the system baa not proved
satisfactory to a great portion of t <
voters. It is desired by citizens that a
voter be allowed to oast his ballot for ;
Aldermen, regardless of which ward]
he may reside in.
This local legislation in Griffin wiill
be interesting to many cities In Geor-
gia that havp operated tor a go.-r.
many years under the very same die
advantages that Qrlffln is undertak-1
ing to get away from, and it may be
that Representative Connor's bill ri'l
suggest many another of a similar
Sort from other cities in the State.
