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 Continued on Page 3, Column 6.

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. Attorney Arnold asked Dr. Westmoreland to go more fully into the details of his differences with Dr. Harris. ^ jq q “I simply brought charges of scientific dishonesty against him.
