Equalization Bill
As Passed
To be entitled an Act.
To authorize and require the
General Assembly to make an ex
tra appropriation to the common
school fund for the purpose of
equalizing educational opportuni
ties to the children of the several
counties of the State, and for
ut er purposes.
Section I. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Georgia, and it is hereby enacted
by authority of Hie same, that in
addition to the regular appropri
ation for the support of the public
schools the General Assembly
shall provide an equalization fund
which shall be disbursed by the
State Board of Education tor the
purpose of more nearly equalizing
the educational opportunities of
the children of the several couu
ti?s of the State The State Bo»rd
of Education in its distribution of
said equalization fund to the coun
ty boards of education for the pur
pose of equalizing educational op
portunities as between the several
counties shall lake into consider
ation the uossible returns from
taxable values for school purposes,
the extent to which local tax ’ aid
has been utilized, the educational
needs, and the local inequalities
-xisling >n the several c unties. No
country or independent system
shall share in the equalization
fund for any yoar unless it levies
at least five mills for local tax for
its public schools for that year.
Sec. 2. It is further enacted that
all laws and parts of laws in conflict
with this act are hereby repealed.
(Note the following letter and
explanatory comment, but the
state school supt. will make the
new law better understood.)
We are handing you herewith e
copy of Equalization law wbicl
has just been passed by the Gener
al Assembly. Only hree votes in
douse aud five iu the Senate wen
recorded against this measure. This
seems to be an indication that is at.
overwhelming sentiment in Ga , in
dorsing the principle of equaliza
tion of educational opportunities
for the children of the state.
We greatly appreciate the splen
lid support rrom tiie press of th'
state in helping to buiil sentimen'
which has resulted in the passage
of this law.
The state has further committed
itself to the principle of slronj.
and continuous increasing support
of public school education by tht
passag of a law author’iug an equal
ization fund in addition to the reg
alar appropriation. The law as pas
ed, does not carry an appropriate
at thia time, and there’ll not like))
be an appropr’tion under the law at
this session, unless some means if
found to bring additional monev
into the state treasury.
However, the principle of equal
izition of educational opportunities
throughout the state is well estab
lished iu this law, aud Ibis isa long
step forward iu the educational
de Velopment of the stat -.

Simple Way To
End Night Coughing
No matter how long you have been
troubled with exasperating coughing at
night, robbing you of valuable sleep and
thereby weakening your system and
laying you open to dangerous infec
tions, it can usually be stopped at once
by a very simple treatment. Most people
have found that they can sleep the
whole night through undisturbed often
the first time they try it
The treatment is based on a remarkable
prescription known as Dr. King’s New Dis
covery forCoughs. You simply takeateaspoon
ful at night before retiring and hold it in your
throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing,
without following with water. The prescrip
tion has a doable action. It not only soothes
soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and congestion which
are the direct cause of the coughing. The re
mit is you usually sleep soundly the very first
eight, and the entire cough condition goes in
a very short time.
The prescription is for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup and
almost every throat irritation. It contains no
opiates or other harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. On
sale at all good druggists. Ask for
