GEORGIA WOMAN
SUFFRAGE BODY
FACES ROW
Split in Atlanta League, Whose
Members Are Barred, will Be
Brought Before Convention.

Little hope was seen Monday for a
settlement Of the strife in the Geor-
gia Woman Suffrage Association until
the convention here July 9 and 10.
Within their ranks disagreements
have arisen which are not so easily
disposed of. One side is led by Mrs.
NJ. l.. McLendon, president of the At
lanta Civic League and the Georgia
Woman Suffrage Association, and the
other by Mrs. f. S. Whiteside, whom
a number have urged for official
recognition.
Parade Cause of Trouble.
The trouble began early this year
when advocates Of woman suffrage
were anticipating the parade in
Washington. Mrs. McLendon was
president of the Atlanta Civic League
and Mrs. Amelia B. WoOdall was sec
rotary. The officers of the organiza-
ton were to be the Representatives in
Washington, but 1t was time for re-
election.
The election was postponed several
times, until Mrs. McLendon and Mrs
Woodall automatically became the Of
hcial representatives. on their return
they were met by the charge from
Mrs. Whiteside that they had manip-
ulated postpOnements that Just such
things might result
New League lie Formed.
And the story is that Mrs Ida B.
Mcclellan, in a speech, precipitated
the actual split
This situation, some time ago, re-
suited in Mrs. MCLendon and her
supporters in the Atlanta Civic
League forming the Atlanta Equal
Suffrage League.
Now on the eve Of the meeting Of
the Georgia Woman Suffrage Asso-
clatlon, the members of the Atlanta
Civic League have been denied adj
mission on the grounds that they
have not paid up their dues
Efforts to bring about an amicable
adjustment have failed. II is asserted
that rival organization to the Geor-
gia Woman Suffrage. Association may
be formed.

The latter two bills, both carefully
prepared, seem 10 have attracted con
siderable favorable attention, AMI
both have the backing Of the ad-
ministration. in general way, but
whether either viii pass is problemat-
lcsl.
The Legislature plainly Is inclined
10 reform the tax laws. but II just
as plainly does not know exactly how
to go about It OF where 10 begin.
"One trouble in the situation" said
well known msubor OF the House
to-day Is the real or imaginary OPP
position OF the farmers 10 a board OF
tax equalizers.
As a matter Of fact, do not be-
lieve the farmers, IN any very large
proportion. anyway oppose the tax
idea, Perhaps a few ~
them DO, but fail to see where any
honest tarrner-Rnd the majority %
Georgia farmers are honest-shOuld
Instead Of putting up the farmers
taxes. an equalization act much more
likely would put them down. n as
sessments were adjusted in Georgia
az they should be. the total would be
so much larger than II is now that
taxes, In the average amount pail
would come down rather than 20 up

they might not be, and would not
be In many cases. OF course "a trlne,
the total OF his taxes likely would be
less than now.
The purpose OF a tax equalization
act is to catch the taT-dodgers. and
to catch them in the open Such
measure would catch them. too. And
n the dodgers were made 10 come t.
time, the present taxpayers Of the
state would md themselves charged

will pass some genuine

est in Fate Of w. & A.

The coming sale Of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad.
under foreclosure proceedings, and
the rumor that the Louisville and
Nashville has It's eyes upon it, has
started something Of a panic among
Georgia legislators, particularly as
the present Legislature likely will
consider seriously the problem Of the
Western and Atlantic's release in
1919.
There are two parties IN the pres
ent Legislature with respect TO the
Western and Atlantic Railway. One
favors the release Of the states
road as II now stands, the other the
extension OF the road to the Atlantic
seaboard.
II the L. & N gobbles the A, b

thereby will have strategic advantage
over the State road in the matter Of
extension TO the sea. Indeed, II the

pr iiCted that the railroad map OF

Sufragist Predicts
Ballots for Bullets

That all wars since historical times
began have taken a toll Of $1,000, 900, e.
900 lives. was tho statement made
Sunday by DIR. Thomas f. Green, a
lyceum lecturer stopping at the Hotel
Ansley.
"Militarism is tho burden OF the ma o.
tionS" said DIT. Green, and look
to woman suffrage to lift It from
the shoulders OF humanity. Equal

4 pred ctlOn the Tippins bill. 80 called
IN the last II sislature, has not been
! introduced in the present House.
I Il has been stated time and again
that the pronibitloulsts OF Georgia
generally look upon t1is nea ASSURE As
useless and Of doubtful Judgment IT
this time. and a sort Of 'let-well-
enough alone" sentiment appears TO
he spreading among Temperance ad-
vocates.
The truth Of tho matter is, prohi-
bItionists seem fairly well satisfied
with the status OF things in Georgia,
and agitation in the present Legisla-
ture-or, anyway, IN the present ses-
sion seems unlikely
The Chattanooga News recently
stated, in an editorial praising At
lanta that Georgia has the best en-
forced prohibition laws Of any pronI-
bition state in the nation, and FAR
better than Tennessee. This seems TO
be agreed 20 all around, and the fact
that the Tippins bill has not been re-
introduced, notwithstanding he con
fdent predictions that II would be-
lends color to the thought that prohi-
bitionists In Georgia incline 10 agree
with The Chattanooga News.
