Appropriations Bill, as Framed,
Pleases Governor—Needed
Revenue To Be Provided,
The one disturbing: element in the
program of financial legislation as
mapped out by Governor Slaton just
prior to the assembling of the Leg
islature, and as outlined by him in
his inaugural address, seems more
than likely to be removed, thus avoid
ing either an Executive veto of the
general appropriations bill or an ex
tra session of the General Assem
bly.
The general appropriations bill, as
framed up in the House and as like-
* ly to be amended in the Senate, will
be entirely satisfactory to the Gov
ernor, provided sensible and neces
sary tax acts are passed to produce
the revenue called for.
And it may be stated as a fact that
the legislative skies have been stead
ily clearing for the past few days
with respect to that.
Tax Acts Also Expected.
Not only does it now seem likely
that the big appropriations bill will
go to the Governor ten days ahead
of adjournment as he has requested,
but the tax acts will accompany it,
in order that he may consider all at
the same time and in their exact
vital relations to one another.
't'he tax acts will provide the nec
essary increase in revenue to cover
the appropriations called for, and this
increased revenue, will be distributed
as equitably and as Justly as possi
ble. Chairman Aiken. Vic e Chair
man Cole and every member of the
Ways and Means Committee, has
been constantly at work upon the
tax arts of late, to the exclusion of
all other business.
May Raise Tax Limit.
No attempt will be made in the
general legislative tax acts, however,
to cover the deficit now existing in
the State treasury. The Legislature
seemingly inclines to propose a con
stitutional amendment of limited du
ration, providing for an increase in
the tax limit of one mill for one year
and one-half a mill for a second year,
as recommended by th© Governor.
This increase will raise something
over $1,000,000, which will wipe out
the deficit and leave something to
spare for further necessities between
this time and the date upon which the
amendment, if ratified, can be put in
operation.
The money thus extraordinarily
rained will, of course, pay the com
mon school teachers in full and start
tftem off again with a clean slate
against tlv State, and with no dan
ger of n future situation of indebt
edness uch as now exists.
Expect Bill to Pass.
Tlw h‘l! providing for tax equaliza
tion II pass the Legislature. There
1: v doubt whatever of that in the
nVr. 1 of those members who have
c'.osely observed the trend of events
lately.
it will not be ihe bill the Governor
hoped for, hut it will he a bill pro
viding a plan of tax equalization that
can he expanded and perfected by
later Legislatures, if it seems to work
to the people’s satisfaction.
It will carry provisipns for coun
ty boards of tax equalizers with a
State-board of limited powers to su
pervise the entire work. The State
hoard Will not he permitted to equal
ize the assessment of taxpayers, but
it will have power to equalize the
counties.
Measure To Be Compromise.
This measure will he a decided
compromise between those who are
advocating a State hoard of far-
reaching authority and those who ob
ject to any State board at all.
Without some sort of State hoard
it generally vs agreed, however, that
tax equalization would b f . a complete
farce, and not worth while in any
particular.
The Legislature has eighteen days
of life to Ms < redit sifter to day. Com
pared with other Legislatures, the
present one really has worked rapid
ly, particularly with respect to the
appropriations hill and the tax acts
Inasmuch, also, as there is no like
lihood that it will lose any more time
whatever from Monday forward, it
looks as if its labors for the first
session of its life will prove to be
very satisfactory.

A meeting of the Atlanta Scottish
Association has been called for Fri

DON’T ENDURE
SKIN HUMORS
--USE RESINOL
Don’t stand that itching, burning
skin torment one day longer. Go
to the nearest druggist and get a
jar of Resinol Ointment and a
cake of Resinol Soap. Bathe the
patches of eruption with Resinol
Soap and hot water, dry, and ap
ply a little Resinol Ointment. The
torturing itching and burning stop
instantly; you no longer have to
dig and scratch; sleep becomes
possible, and healing begins. Soon
the ugly, tormenting humor dis
appears completely and for good.
Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint
ment are also speedily effective in
even the atubbornest cases of pim
ples,* blackheads, dandruff, sores
and piles. Prescribed by doctors
for eighteen years, and sold by
every druggist in the United
States. Trial free; Dept. 12-P,

Widow of Victim Asserts That the
Facts Were Suppressed to
Protect the Military.
That she was not allowed to tell
her story of the shooting before the
military court-martial, and that sol
diers shot at her brother-in-law after
he had called to them not to fire
again was the testimony given by Mrs.
B. S. Dunbar before the? Military Com
mittee of the House Friday after
noon when the investigation into the
Augusta killings of several months
ago was taken up.
The investigation is being held un
der a resolution introduced by Repre
sentative Beck, hi Carroll County.
The other witnesses were Mrs. Rob
ert Christie, widow of one of the
men killed; Sheriff John W. Clark, of
Richmond County; Palmer Christie
and L. M. Dohme, of Augusta. They
were represented by Clem E. Dunbar,
former member of the House.
Mrs. Dunbar charged that one of
the officers told her he had become ex
cited during the shooting and or
dered his men to shoot promiscuous
ly, but that Major Claude Smith had
refused to allow her to testify to this
effect. When she asked Major Lew
why she had not been allowed to tell
her story correctly before the court-
martial, she said he replied that the
military must be protected.
“For God’s sake, don’t shoot. Don’t
you see I am trying to stop my ma
chine?” are the words which she as
serted Christie told her he said to
the soldiers. “Ho was on his way to
my home in his automobile to get his
wife. He saw the soldiers, but thought
nothing of it. They fired at him and
he attempted to stop and called to
them not to shoot again, but they
fired another volley and wounded him
in one of his lungs, which caused his
death a short while afterward.”
When the hearing is resumed Tues
day it probably will continue each
afternoon through the week. Practi
cally every military officer who was
on duty in Augusta, as well as many
privates, will be summoned to ap
pear before the committee.
Contest Editor Deluged With Pic
tures—Thought of Big Task
Gives Him Nightmare.
Recently Governor Slaton refused
to be the judge in the selection of 500
portraits of Atlanta youngsters for
the Temple of Childhood at tfm Pan
ama-Pacific International Exposition,
on the grounds that the job was too
difficult because there were so many
good-lookers.
The Beauty Contest Editor is keep
ing awake these nights, and when
he has managed to get a bit of sleep,
he has had nightmares, for fear that
the same sort of thing is going to
happen to his contest.
Honestly, there are just so many
beauties being nominated every day
that The Georgian photographers are
actually scrapping among themselves
to decide who shall make the picture
The latest one submitted is that of
Miss Elinor Macy, only daughter of
Mrs. Grace Keefer, of 80 East Four
teenth street.
Miss Macy made her debut recent
ly and is regarded as one of Atlanta’s
fairest. She has fair skin and dark
blue eyes, with a wealth of rich dark
brown hair. That she will get many
votes is predicted by her friends.
Who’s the next one?
“Watch Atlanta—she’ll get you yet!
500,000 by 1020!”
SISTER OF ATLANTA MAN DIES.
BUFFALO, July 26.—Mrs. Ellen V.
Omalley, aged 30. a sister of William
B. Sanders, of Atlanta, is dead at her
home in Geneva, where burial will ho
held Monday afternoon.
No Eligible List of Assistants to
Recently Named Atlanta Inter
nal Revenue Collector.
An unusual situation will arise upon
the transfer of the office of Internal
Revenue Collector, when a special
agent arrives in Atlanta • August 1.
The retiring Collector, Henry S.
Jackson, fears hsl successor, A. O.
Blalock, of Fayetteville, will be placed
in an embarrassing position.
“The Collector of Internal Revenue
is the only office,” said Mr. Jackson,
“which really has no fixed term. All
other appointive offices in the Gov
ernment service are for four years,
but thi- Collector's term is subject to
the will of the President alone.
“When a Collector of Internal Reve_
nue goes out of office, the terms of his
deputies expire automatically, for
they are appointed by him," said Mr.
Jackson. “At present there is no
eligible list, and when I go our 'f
office, there will, therefore, be no
deputies
“If my successor, Mr. Blalock, sees
fit, he may appoint my deputies, but
after appointing them he can not dis
charge them without good cause, for
a man is never dismissed from the
Government service, after he qualifies
by civil service examination, except
for some disdemeanor.
“No civil service examination for
deputies will be held until August 15,
and it will be September before the
results arc known. Tn the meantime,
I am sure the Government will not be
content to let th*» Atlanta office run
without deputies. 1 am sorry for Mr.
Blalock and hope the matter can in
some way be adjusted so his friends
will not he disappointed.
Conference on Mexican Situation
Kept Secret — Ambassador
Denies Interviews.
WASHINGTON, .Tn’- 26.—Ambas
sador Henry Lane Wilson reached the
office of Secretary of State Bryan
to-day and expressed his views on
the Mexican situation. The Interview
with Bryan was preliminary to the
one which the envoy will hold with
President Wilson.
The Ambassador's first act on his
arrival here to-day was to repudiate
almost entirely the Interviews sent
out from New York last night.
"Most of the statements attributed
to me this morning are absolutely
false,” he said. ”1 did not call Gen
eral Carranza a bandit or refer to
the revolutionary movement as a
campaign of bandits, nor did I say
that all talk of mediation was rot.
No CHance for Mediation.
"I did say that a board of media
tors going into Mexico at the presen!
time would have as much chance a.-
a board of arbitrators in the midst
of strike conditions that prevailed in
West Virginia some months ago. I
am not to be placed in the attitude
of being a mere press agent for
Huerta."
The conference between Secretary
Bryan and Ambassador Wilson last
ed about 45 minutes. It will be re
sumed at 3 o’clock tliis afternoon. Mr.
Bryan was forced to suspend the in
terview at 11 o'clock to keep an en
gagement with the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate to discuss
the proposed Nicaraguan treaty and
the Mexican situation.
Bryan stated that Ambassador Wil
son would not see President Wilson
before Monday. He declined to dis
cuss the interview with the Ambas-
sador.
Only One Real Revolt.
“There is only one bona fide rev
olution with high ideals in Mexico,"
continued the Ambassador. "That is
the revolution in the State of So
nora. headed by Governor Pasquiera.
They are fighting for states' rights
and doing no looting"
The Ambassador said the Huerta
government was "strong and virile."
and that, if recognized by the United
States, it could establish peace. He
denied, however, that he ever said he
favored recognition by this country.
“I am not here to advise the Presi
dent on any course." he added, "but
to make a first-hand report on condi
tions Personally, I never recognized
I the Huerta government.”
| ^ After Secretary Bryan left for the
’ apltal. Ambassador Wilson started
to work on a lengthy written report
which he will present to President
YY uson on Monday.
He declined to discuss the plans
of mediation which it is proposed the
United States shall undertake.
Has Prepared Policy.
Ambassador Wilson sairl he has pre
pared a "perfectly definite, complete
policy, lined in memorandum form,
which the United States should pur
sue in Mexican affairs."
The Ambassador indicated his dis
pleasure at the sending to Mexico of
special representatives.
"I might take this opportunity to
say I resent any statement in any
newspaper that I am to be interro'-
gated during my stay in Washington
in regard to my personal affairs," said
Ambassador Wilson. "The President
and Secretary of State have given me
no indication of such a situation, and
they have shown me tne greatest con
sideration. except in one tiling—the
sending to Mexico, on behalf of the
President, it is said, of William Bay
ard Hale, the magazine writer, and of
Reginald H. DeiVaille, on behalf of
the Secretary of State, to make per
sonal investigations.
"William Bayard Hale and Reginald
H. VelVallle are equipped with secret
copies of the State Department rode.
I know that assistance in the use of
the code was sought from one of the
secretaries of the American Embassy
in Mexico City. I think If the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations knew
of it there would be an investigation
"William Bayard Hale got to Mex
ico City and gave his views on public
questions the tlrst day he was there.
The Huerta Government people there
say he came to Mexico with a brief of
conditions from the Maderistas.”

it’s all Greek to me.
"My visit to Washington was most
pleasant. 1 had a long talk with the
First. Assistant Postmaster. He was
most courteous and showed me about
the Capitol,
Says Atlanta Shall Judge.
"Of course, I do n it know- what the
reports of the Postoffice Inspector
contained. If they found inefficiency
in the Atlanta office I never knew that
it existed.
"So far as these inefficiency
charges are concerned, and I am not
sure that any were made officially, 1
will place myself before the citizens
of Atlanta to be judged. They know
whether they are getting good service
or not and they are the only people
really competent to judge.”
