SOL|C|TORFEES
STAY IN FORCE
Bill to Put Them on Salaries
Fails to Get Necessary Two
thirds Vote in House.

The house declined. by vote Of ll9 to
40, today to pass the bill by Mr.. Allen
and Mr.. Fullbright providing for the abo
ltion of solicitors general in Georgia ana
the substitution therefor Of county prose-
cutting attorneys in the several counties
of the state. on a salary basis.
The vote in favor of the bill was four
less than the necessary two thirds re-
quired for constitutional amendments.
Debate on this bill was commenced in
the house Friday and was participated in
by a dozen or more leading members
1t was evident from the first that the
vote on the bill would be close. and that
there was wide and serious differences of
opinion as to the precise terms upon
which solicitors should be removed from
fee and put upon salary basis.
In general. and in its broadcast applica
ton, the house is a practical unit in favor
of a salary basis for solicitors.
The defeated bill provided for a salary
of not more than So, 900 to any one county
attorney, and that the salary might be
made as much less as the county au-
thorities determined. 1t required that all
county prosecuting attorneys should bring
into the county treasury in fines and
forfeitures not less than the salary
they failed to bring in.
The bill provided that prosecuting at
torneys should be elected by the people
of their respective counties.
An effort was made, under a motion to
reconsider, to save the bill from death,
just before the vote was announced, but
it failed
Mr. White, Of Screven, offered bill
in the house today providing for a codifi-
cation Of the educa tional laws Of Georgia
With this joint legislative committee of
three the attorney general and superin-
tendent of education will serve
Discussing his bill, MIR. White said:
Professor Britain has compiled prac-
teal codihoation of the law, and all we
need now is official and intelligent in
dorsement Of the same If it Is Endorsed
and the next Legislature adopts it, Geor-
gia will have a comprehensive and in
tellgent codifcation of our educational
laws"
Mr. Christopher, OF Hall. introduced a
digent blind pensioners from $50 TO 500
per annum.
Mr. Payton, of Worth. introduced q
bill fixing the fee Of justices of the
peace in Georgia at $3.50 for issuing
criminal, search, peace or possessory
warrants, unless the party taking the
same makes affidavit that he Is unable
to pay same.
Mr. Payton, of Worth, also introduced

WOMAN SELLS LAND
NEEDED IN WIDENING
OF EAST POINT ROAD

Mrs r M McWhirter. who held UP
the county work on the East Point road
for months today withdrew her objection
to the widening of the thoroughfare. She
signed a deed to a 22-foot strip of land
necessary to the widening of the road
late Saturday. Several months ago the
county commissioners authorized It and
the work was begun However. when
the crew reached Mrs. McWhirter's land,
near East Point, she refused to allow
them to include any of her property in
the road Plans for purchase of the prop
erty were made by county officials, but
Mrs McWhirter steadfastly refused all
offers made her. Then citizens OF East
Point sought a condemnation order from
the court, but failed to get It,
Tul1 c. Waters, county commissioner
finally, through a tempting offer OF $2,75O
for the little strip of land obtained Mrs
McWhrters signature to the deed late
Saturday

is alleged not to practice. The prohi-
hi,ion leader says the mayor thinks
il all right. apparently. for him to be-
long 10 a swell club which violates the
law whe thle he objects to the poor
mans club and the negro blind tiger"
which also and in the same way violate
the same law
Mr. Alexander asks the former mayor
number of leading questions. and
onenlv dares him to make answer to
them specifically and categorically.
theoretically and most interestingly,
the DeKalb county representative calls
unon the mayor to explain his alleged
connection with a tentative plot to
make candidate for something of
Mr. Alexander if possible. in the hope
that his candidacy might work to the
disadvantage of the Tippins bill in the
senate by dividing the prohibition vote
therein.
1t was openly stated in some quarters
as far back as last Saturday that Mr..
Alexanders candidacy for the govern
orship might be urged by some, in the
expectation that it would influence sew

natics have ever made you assured
Us was drastic" when we made it,
and when we took the next step the
old one had always quit being

sentative" Don't you remember
Bob. how your liquor crowd warned
US in 1907 that we were drastic
and we're going to bankrupt every
body and destroy all the property
values in Atlanta? Bob, property
values in Atlanta have doubled
since that time. and now you and
your money loving crowd say that
the law is sane and conservative. -

it did, why did it? Up In Rome the

Why the State
Is Short of Cash.

Then again. Bob. you say that
the passage of this law is going to
deplete our revenues; and that's
true, but do you think the state
ought to sell its honor and compro-
mise its sovereignty for the dirty
dollars of a dive keeper, or because
you and the balance OF its priv
Legged classes want to disregard law
and defy authority? 1t will deplete
revenues all right, but never again, l
hope, will Georgia legislature in
dulge in a vicious saturnalia Of ex-
trava gance in order to tie the
hands OF the people against cur
failing the privileges OF criminals
who stand ready to dole out few
grudging dollars from their store
OF blood money as a quid pro quo
for a license to commit crime.
Our revenues are scant enough,
as you say God knows But, Bob.
did YOU know that there is a dawn
ing recognition in the minds of men
that what really impoverishes both
the state and her people is the Law
ish granting out Of privileged fran
chises to favored men to tax the
people under the guise Of tolls, and
the resulting ungodly watering OF
stocks like that $51o00O00 thing
that three purbllnd railroad COM

is big question, Bob. and mighty
far-reaching. ! don't particularly
