Persuaded BY McAdoo
To Get Into Fight.

It was not the governors intention at
the outset Of the campaign to make
many long trips or to deliver many
speeches. He had announced that he
would make most Of his speeches in the
state Of New Jersey and that he would
visit only few important points out
side Of the state. Acting Chairman Nc
Adoo within the last few days has per-
suaded the candidate, however, that a
fairly complete tour Of the country is
necessary. The governor likes to call
them trips rather than tours, how
ever.
"A tour takes in a considerable sec
ton Of the country at one sweep" he
said this morning. "a trip is started
from a specific point, going out to an
other place or places and returning TO
the original base. In that respect I am
like baseball player. I make my start,
cover the bases and return to the home
plate
Then I start out again and make
some more runs. That will be the idea
Of weekly trips I am to make through
out the campaign"

The new building will be completed
within about one year. The point was
made that If the county borrowed the

to pay off the indebtedness.
Friends of the county commissioners
are joking them today because they
boosted that they would build a 81 900.

the weather, the increased cost OF

ATLANTA To BEAR
BRUNT Of TAX
INCREASE
City Now Pays Unjust Share
of County and State Levies,
Declares Nutting.

Following the declaration of John S.
Gambler, acting mayor, that the city tax
rate should be increased five mills and
increasing the county rate one-half of
one mill. city and county officials are
wrestling with the need of general tax
reforms.
Alderman James R. Nutting, chair
man of the council tax committee, said
the city is badly in need of more
money, but that an even worse condi-
ton was the fact that Atlanta was pay
ing far too large share of the taxes
of Fulton and DeKalb counties and of
the state of Georgia.
He said Atlanta's proportion of the
states taxes had increased this year
from one seventh to one sixth of the
entire amount. Atlanta pays practical
ly all the taxes Of Fulton county and a
good portion of DeKalb county.
The increase in the county tax rate
means that the property owners of At
lanta must pay the BILL

planned the cause for the discrimination
against Atlanta by the state and coun-
ty tax systems He said that Atlanta
was not alone, but that every city in
the state suffered for the same reason.
In the cities property is taxed on as
sessments fixed by city officials. In the
country the county tax receiver re-
fba 81
the owner.
Property in Atlanta is assessed at 60
per cent of its real value. The county
tax receiver then takes three fourths
of the city assessment for the state
and county taxes, or at As per cent Of
it's real value.
The returns to the state comptroller
show that while Atlanta contains only
about one-twentieth OF the states
property value, this year the city Will
pay approximately one-sixth of the en-
fire state taxes. The city rate is 1.25
ner cent. the county rate now .65 per
cent and the state rate so per cent.
Al the meeting of the county com
mtssioners yesterday afternoon the
problem was 10 get lAIOA U injury 40 '''N
Fulton county court house. The build
ing will cost more than 100000. The
commissioners already have provided
$3.50 600 of this amount.
County Owes No Money.
H E w Palmer S. b. thurman and
Tuu C. Waters were much opposed to
the increase at first, but finally voted
for IT, The county owes no money, ex-
cent few incidental amounts. 1t was
urged that what was needed more than
could be provided from the regular In
come should be borrowed. 1t could be
secured at four per cent interest.
The increase provided will mean an
increase of so cents per $1,000 OF as
eessment. 1t is figured that 1t will
bring an additional income OF about
$50 600 into the county, and Increase
the county's income to about 100000.
The commissioners provided that $780,

building from next years income.

Held Up Service.

According to the story as related by

been made on the night service in Car

at the trial that he had discovered
that young men had been hanging
around the Gainesville exchange in the
evening talking to the operators and in
terfering with good service.
He took the information to Miss Don
ahoO, the chief operator. With the re-
quest that the conversations be brought
to an end, as they were a direct vio-

scene, Mayor Young was called into
