MI Maddox characterizes the law
as unjust and unwise. "The present
prohibition law" he said, lis enforced
much better than the Tippins law ever
could be" This is the attitude of Mr..
Maddox's confreres. Their stand is
that neither the city nor the state is in
position to stand the results of the
bill-that the effect of it would be 10

Passage of Bill
Was Surprise to Him,

Since my term of office as mayor
expired l have been devoting my
time exclusively to my own pri
vate business affairs and have
taken practically no interest in
politics The vote this week in the
house on the Tippins bill was
great surprise 10 me. The prohi
bition question was injected into
the last gubernatorial race. and
Governor Brown was overWhelm-
ingly elected, after stating specific
ally on more than one occasion that
he believed the question of prohi-
bition should be left to vote of
the people of the state, and not
decided by the members of the leg
islature. who were elected without
the question Of prohibition enter
ing into their campaign for office.
During my administration as
mayor of Atlanta, I do not believe
there was a single saloon where a
drink of whisky could be pur-
chased in this city; and believe
the same statement can truthfully
be made under the administration
Of Mayor Winn. Whisky was sold
during my administration. is sold

Cuts Revenue.

lie have never believed that the
legislature would pass such a dras-
tic measure as the Tippins bill
first, for the reason that it with

while the state and all of its de-

modern development of our insti-

grown so rapidly in the past few
