T o ‘Hold the Line/ Vote No New Taxes The Georgia Legislature is in its second week. Many bills have been introduced in both houses. Gov. Marvin Griffin has asked the Legislature to “hold the line” and vote no new taxes and the General Assembly seems agreeable to the governor’s wishes. Several bills have been intro¬ duced to cut the prices of auto ilicense tags and to abolish the law which prevents a taxpayer from deducting his federal in¬ come tax from his state tax. These seem to have little chance of parsing as the governor ap¬ pears to have necessary strength to defeat these or any other tax reduction bills. A bill has been introduced in the Senate to make it unlawful for any member of the General Assembly to hold a state job dur¬ ing his term of office. This also is not likely to pass as several legislators stay on the state pay¬ roll between sessions of the as¬ sembly. is to One bill which may pass require all stores selling Jap¬ anese goods to have a sign so stating in their place of busi- D6SS. A number of bills have been introduced relating to highway s fety and those with practical ideas are pretty sure to pass. Various bills relating to edu¬ cation have been introduced and some of> them undoubtedly will pass.
