THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 'ATT RDAT. JULY 7. im CANDLER BILL WILL EQUALIZE MS provides foe state and COUNTY TAX ASSESSORS. Substitute in Senate for Hall House Bill Will Pass Up. per Branch. Senator Murphy Candlerta substitute till for the Joe Hill Hall measure pro- Vldlns for a atata board of tax as- Mton which was paaaad In the house I, considered by the senate finance committee a much itronger and more effective act for equalising the tax bur- d 's#nator Candler’s eubetltute provides that In addition to the state board of three assessors eaoh county shell have a county board of assessors. Th* coun ty hoard will pass on the county re- tuma while the state board will pass on the state returns. In the event of differences with any hoard, and objection as to any aa- ■essment made by them, the person or concern Interested may appeal to the itate board. And their decision Will he final. Members of the county boards art to receive *5 per day while sn eered In the work, half to be paid by the coii-'ty « nd half by the stats. Speaking cf his measure Senator c *No" uest'on today la eo big and ao Important as aquallsatlon of the tax burden, and I feel assured that my substitute makes It more nearly of achievement than ths Hall bill. "The average man does not object strenuously to ths tax rate as he doss to the Inequality of the tu bur den. When we know that everybody la bearing the burden of taxea alike, and no person or corporation la escaping a just share of responsibility, then our resentment passes. I am satlifled that with both county and atata board* of tsi assessor* the equalisation will be mors nearly accomplished than by any method I have cognisance of. It ls very probable that the senate sill pv>s the Candler substitute. MEN HARRIS MADE-TREASURER elected by county commis sioners TO A SHORT TERM.

SIX MONTHS AGO WE BEGAN SAYING BANNER JELLICO Modestly at first, for the mine was a new property and we were not sure of the quality of the coal. Our enthu siasm was tinged with uncertainty. The first month’s tests made us confident and since then we have persistently said to Atlantans BANNER JELLICO IS $4.50 A TON It jumped into popular favor at once. The orders came. More than we had hoped for, more than we had pre pared to handle. At first we were gratified, then’ worried, now we are alarmed. We cannot comfortably deliver this summer all of our orders if they beep piling' up. Already we are far behind. We are forced to sound a tiote of warning. WE WILL NOT RECEIVE MANY MORE ORDERS FOR BANNER JELLICO AT THE PRICE PER TON $4.50. LET’S HAVE YOUR ORDER NOW We cannot promise to hold open our books through July and we want you to share in this saving. R. 0. CAMPBELL COAL CO.. 10 DECATUR STREET, Office. BOTH PHONES.
