| Of rob- Peter to pay Paul policy all

| Mr.. Slaton proposes, as has been
stated heretofore in this column. to
suggest a constitutional amendment in
his first message to the legislature ad-
vocating the restriction Of the tax levy
for educational purposes, pension. the
civil establishment and so on, to den-
mite and fixed fractions Of the entire

legislation, and a matter of no en-
barrassment to the executive depart

| That this is q clear headed and
statesmanlike suggestion from the gov
ernor-to-be, The Savannah News
heartily agrees.
Commenting upon the matter, how
ever, The News expresses doubt that
1t will have smooth sailing, and adds:
There isn't much doubt that there
will be objection to it, and the OBJ
lection will come from those who
have schemes for getting money
out of the treasury for objects that
| would not be approved If there had
to be a special levy in their be-
half. Mr.. Slaton, however. will, in
all probability, have influence

The fear OF legislative opposition to
! this suggestion of the incoming execu-

rightly located; but the governors rec
ommendatlon likely will receive the
necessary support to put 1t through, for
| two reasons:
First, as The News points out be-
cause the new governors personal in
huence over the incoming legislature is
sure to be strong; second, because this
particular recommendation is sure to
meet with widespread popular ap-
prevail.
1t is the first specific utterance that
has come from Mr.. Slaton as TO what
he intends recommending in his initial
message to the general assembly and
it indicates that he desires, first thing
of all. to get the states financial pro-
gram, under his administration, upon
sound. substantial and intelligent
basis.

| among other things, says:
The sentiment for the abolition
of capital punishment is growing
fast. The question is now up be-
fore the Tennessee Legislature, and
will no doubt be up before the
Georgia legislature next summer
For a Christian people to stand
for the death penalty for a crimi-

UnQuestionably, sentiment against

1t will not be surprising If a bill TO
abolish this ancient form of punish
ment is offered in the legislature next
summer, and it likely will receive lot
OF strong support, even If it should fail
Of passage.
Besides the reasons for abolition
| pointed out by The Dalton Citizen, it is
fact that statistics gathered from
nations and states wherein the death
penalty is employed, compared with
statistics gathered in states where it is

from, against that friend Of our youths

Wherein has the flying jenny offend

! BEFORE CHURCH
Clarence Powers, Colored, is
Given Hearing This
Afternoon

. Clarence Powers. colored, who put
two ~ caliber bullets into the neither
limbs Of e. C. Williams, also colored,
at the Dacotah barber shop last week.
was given a preliminary. hearing this
afternoon before ]. r. Church. police
magistrate.
The ase was originally taken up
before Phil Mclaughlin. city justice.
and was scheduled for Saturday. On
motion of the defense, however. it
was set forward to this afternoon.
and was taken to Judge Church.
Williams has practically recovered
from his wounds, and was able to ap-
pear in court this afternoon.
1t is evident that the defense will
base it's ase on the contention that
Powers fired only in self defense, the
two negroes having had trouble earlier
in the afternoon. The revolver found
in Williams possession, and the testi-
mony of several witnesses that WILL
Jams followed Powers to the barber
shop. will be introduced to support
this theory.
The charge against Powers is as
sault with the deadly weapon. with
intent to do great bodily harm.
Powers is represented by J. F. T.
O'Connor. while o. r.. Burtness,
states attorney, is conducting the
prosecution.
