VOTERS TO NAME TAX BOARDS

Unless thesenate kills the Ashley
bill, providing. for the creation of
state and county boards of tax
equalizers, that method will be
employed in Georgia in future.
The house passed the bill by a
large majority and the measure is
now with the senate. The friends of
the measure regard it as the most
important piece of legislation en-
acted by either branch of the gen
eral assembly at this session. Tt is
regarded also as the solution of tn e
tax problem in Georgia, and it is
believed will result in just and
equitable equalization of taxes
paid by both corporations and in
dividuals. The measure carries
with it an amendment providing
for the election of a state board
of equalizers by the people at the
next general election, which is still
more than a year off. In the mean
time, comptroller General William
A. Wright will appoint the mem
bers of the board, who shall serve
until their successors have beer
elected.
