Montgomery Finds Report of Georgia Official
 Enlightening
EQUALIZATION ACT
 BROUGHT REDUCTION
Increased Valuation of Property Over Eighty Five Millions and Saved Tax payers Half Million-Discrepan-
 cies Found by the Local Boards
By L. S. BETTY

Montgomery, March 17.-(Speciai)-One Of the most interesting public documents received at the capitol in years from an other state is the annual report of Judge John C. Hart, state tax commissioner of Georgia, covering the year 1915. Judge Hart's report discusses minutely the op- eration of the equalization tax act in Georgia and points out the enormous re- suits that have been attained since the new tax law became effective in his state. The Georgia act, after which the Ala bama statute is modelled, was approved in August, 1913.
 At the outset of his report Judge Hart shows the results attained the first year of the operation of the new equallza- tion act and since the Alabama statute has the same purpose in view, it might be interesting to quote the Georgia com- missioner:
 The total valuakion of all property ap- bearing on the digests of this state sup jeet to ad valorem taxation in 1915, just prior to the passage of this act, was SSoh- 937, ,737. These values were increased un- der the operation of the act in 1914 to s9o3 531 ,254, or net total gain of $S5.5e7,5ll. In consequence of this large increase in tax able values the governor reduced the pre- vious tax rate from mills, the very highest rate the constitution of the state permits, to AZ mills. The effect Of thls reduction in the rate saved the taxpayers who had been paying their full share of +ha toxac onproyin,ate1y Sy1( Cn1''

still wrestling with the coal shortage

for the hearing TO be conducted at Po-

is to be found all over the southern and

tically every city, town and village.
What the remedy is, the commission
hopes to ascertain as result of the
Pocatello hearing. The mines say they
cannot get the necessary miners To
mine coal. The carriers declare thst
they are putting forth every possible
effort to move the coal to destinations
where II is needed the most. Yet the
consumers are short and are daily com-
planning to the commission and asking
for relief.
