TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
TAX ACTS TO BE
PASSED AL01C
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
bis 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
x 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.
The tax acts will provide the nec
essary increase in revenue to cover
the appropriations called for, and this
increased revenue wall 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 acts 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 e Governor.
This increase will raise something
over $1,000,000, which wall 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
raised will, of course, pay the com-
v rnon school teachers in full and start
them off again with a clean slate
against the State, and with no dan
ger of a future situation of indebt
edness such as now exists.
Expect Bill to Pass.
The bill providing for tax equaliza
tion will pass the Legislature. There
Is no doubt whatever of tha^ in the
minds of those members who have
closely observed the trend of events
t lately.
It will not be the bill the Governor
* hoped for, but it wiil be a bill pro
viding a plan of tax equalization that
can be expanded and perfected by
later Legislatures, if it seems to worK
to the people’s satisfaction.
It will carry provisions for coun
ty boards of tax equalizers with a
State board of limited powers to su
pervise the entire work. The State
board will not be permitted to equal
ize the assessment of taxpayers, but
it will have power to equalize the
counties.
Measure To Be Compromise.
This measure will be a decided
compromise between those who are
advocating a State board of far-
reaching authority and those who ob
ject to any State hoard at all.
Without, some sort of State board
it generally is agreed, however, that
tax equalization would bp a complete
farce, and not worth while in any
particular.
The Legislature has eighteen days
of life to its credit after to-day. Com
pared with other Legislatures, the
present one really has worked rapid
ly. particularly with respect to the
appropriations bill 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.

Don’t stand that itching, burning 1

torturing itching and burning stop
instantly; you no longer have to

That she was not allowed to tell
her story of the shotting 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, *«\’ 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
wcrr» represerted 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 Levy
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 1 am trying to stop my ma
chine?” are the words which she as
serted Christie told her he said to
the soldiers. “He 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
Hired another volley and wounded him
in one of his lungs, w hich 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.

on the grounds that the job was too
difficult because there were so many

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 hsi successor, A. O.
Blalock, of Fayetteville, will be placed
in an embarrassing position.
“The (’ollector of Internal Revenue
is the only office,” said Mr. Jackson,
“which really has no fixed term. All
other appointive offices in the Gov-
erorntni service are for four years,
hut the 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 out >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 th<j
Government service, after he qualifies
by civil sci vice 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. In the meantime,
I am sure the Government will not he
content to let the 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 be disappointed.’'

WASHINGTON, Jo''- 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. “I 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 present
time would have as much chance as
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 this 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
the Huerta government.”
After Secretary Bryan left for the
Capital, Ambassador Wilson started
t<J . on a lengthy written report
which he will present to President
Wilson on Monday.
He declined to discuss the plans
of mediation which it is proposed the
Lnited States shall undertake.
Has Prepared Policy.
Ambassador Wilson said he has pre
pared a “perfectly definite, complete
policy, lined in memorandum foi-m,
" hioh 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 J 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 Stwte have given me
no indication of such a situation, and
they have shown me tne greatest con
sideration, except in one thing—the
sending to Mexico, on behalf of the
President. It is said, of William Bay
ard Hale, the magazine writer, and of
Reginald H. DelVaille, on behalf of
the Secretary of State, to make per
sonal Investigations.
“William Bayard Hale and Reginald
H. VelVaille are equipped with secret
copies of the State Department code.
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 first day he was there.
The Huerta Government people there
say he came to Mexico with a brief of
conditions from the Maderistas.”
Legislature Praised
By Governor Slaton
Words of praise for the work of the
Legislature were spoken by Governor
Slaton Friday night at a banquet
given to the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House at the Capital
City Club by Chairman L. R. Akin.
“I have every confidence in the gen
tlemen composing the Georgia Legis
lature this year. I do not believe I
have ever seen a finer and more effi
cient body,” the Governor said.
President J. Randolph Anderson, of
the Senate, and Crawford Wheatley,
chairman of the Appropriations Com
mittee. spoke on the subject of tax
reform.

Postmaster Says He Never Heard
of Inefficiency Charges Ex
cept in Newspapers.
It was reported to-day that Post
master Hugh McKee will not be
outsert. but iv111 be allowed to finish
out his term, which expires some time
between January 1 and 15, 1914.
This understanding is said to be
the outcome of a visit of Postmaster
McKee to Washington last week, at
which time he conferred with Post
master General Burleson and First
Assistant Postmaster Roper.
"All New to Me,” He Says.
Mr. .McKee has arrived home from
Washington, New York and other
Eastern points In company with his
daughter, Mies Jessie, whom he met
ftt the steamer on her return from
Paris, where she has been studying
for the past year.
"I have rea.d the published reports
to the effect that 1 would be ousted."
said Mr. McKee, "but the papers
know more about It than I do and
I haven't anything to say except that
it's all Greek to me.
"Mv visit to Washington was most
pleasant. I had a long talk with the
FI rut Assistant Postmaster. He was
most courteous and showed me about
the Capitol.
Says Atlanta Shall Judge.
“Of course, I do not know what the
reporis of the Postoflice 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 1 am not
mire that any were made officially 1
will place myself before the citizens
of Atlanta to be Judged. They know
w hether tlie> an getting good service
or not and they arc the only people
really competent to Judge.”
