Urges Immediate Action to Equal
ize Levy and Increase Reve
nue of State.
In a vigorous message pointing out
the need of speedy action. Governor
John M. Slaton Monday urged the
Legislature to enact laws looking
to the reform of the tax system and
the equalization of taxes in the State.
Asserting that the greatest dis
parity in the tax returns of the State
is not between the city and rural
communities, but between the rural
communities themselves, Governor
Slaton urged the enactment of a law
that would compel each county to
pay its proportionate share of the ex
penses of the State.
Shows Disparity in Returns.
“One rural county will make returns
three times as much In proportion to
values as its neighbors.” said the Gov
ernor’s message. “What sound argu
ment can be offered in favor of this
Injustice? County lines are but im
aginary. separating Georgians only by
a fiction, and all should be and I be
lieve are willing to contribute their
'proportion to the general burden.
‘ “Legislation accomplishing this
purpose, both in regard to visible and
invisible property, will so operate as
to make the same percentage
fectlve on every citizen, regardless of
the county in which he lives.”
Scores State .of Treasury.
in his message Governor Slaton
emphasizes the deplorable condition
of the State Treasury, which has not
nearly enough funds to meet the ex
penses of the State Government and
asserts that under a system of tax
equalization a deficit of this size
could not exist.
“Tax equalization does not neces-
sarilv mean increase of taxes,” tie
says, “The man giving in now more
than his due should have his valua
tion reduced to such proportionate
amount as universally enforced will
economically support the State. The
man who is delinquent in this regard
should be raised.”
Senate Clears Decks
For Tax Reform Work.
With the decks cleared at last ol
local bills, the Georgia Senate Mon
day afternoon faced a sharp fight on
the substitute to the Sheppard tax
reform bill following the filing of a
minority report by four of the mem
bers of the Finance Committee.
Senator DuBose, one of the minor
ity signers, declared he would fight
the measure when it comes up for
iassage. The bill, he declared, was
nVt fair to the people and was framed
as a result of ••bulldozing” efforts by
the Governor.
On the other hand, Senator Miller,
of the Twenty-fourth, Joint framer of
the bill and chaitman of the Finance

Sweeping characterizations of professional recklessness were
made against Dr. H. T. Harris at the trial of Leo Frank Monday.
Dr. J. C. Olmstead, the last medical expert of the afternoon, prob
ably was the most vitriolic in his comments on testimony of Dr.
Harris, wh odeclared positively that Mary Phagan came to her
death within half or three-quarters of an hour after the time she
ate and that she also was the victim of a criminal attack other
than that which caused her death.
Referring to the last theory of Dr. Harrsi, the witness said: .
“It is the most extraordinary medical surmise I ever heard
of. He couldn't have told from the conditions present whether vio
lence of the nature charged had taken place even if he had made
the examination within a few hours after death.
Joel Hunter, an expert public accountant, was the last wit-
nses of the afternoon. He testified that the financial sheet which
Frank prepared could not have been done in less than 150 min
utes, two and a hauf hours. The estimated maximum time was
four and one-half hours. With the other work of balancing ac
counts and similar clerical work, Hunter thought that Frank
would have been occupied three hours or three hours and a half.
Attorney Reuben Arnold made a scathing criticism of Dr.
Harris’ methods during his examination of Dr. Willis Westmore
land, a prominent Atlanta physician and surgeon.
Arnold was asking the medical expert his opinion of the
ethics of a chemist or physician who would take the organs and
the stomach with its contents from a body, make his examination
in absolute secrecy and would leave no material on which the other
side in a legal case might make analysis and examinations.
Solicitor Dorsey objected to the question.
Attorney Arnold said, in justifying his question:
“We wish to show that Dr. Harris has violated all the ethics
of his profession, as well as the principles of decency and honesty.”
Dr. Westmoreland said he never had heard of such procedure
before.
A former breach of professional relations between Dr. West-
! moreland and Dr. Harris was recalled by Solicitor Dorsey in the
* 1 course of his cross-examination of Dr. Westmoreland.
“What is your feeling toward Dr. Harris?” the Solicitor in
quired. “Is is kindly or unkindly?”
‘ ‘ I have no feeling one way or the other, ’ ’ replied the witness.
