ATLANTA, August 8.With the
house and senate divided into almost
numberless factions and filled with
petty strifes, Sunday was spent by
many of the leaders in attempting to
reconcile hostile forces to point
where an extra session would not
be caused by constant filibustering
today.
Senator John H. Jones' attack on
the governor, charging that "adroit
maneuvers and hydraulic pressure"
have forced added taxation upon the
people; decreased appropriations
and refused full appropriations for
confederate veterans, was the center
of much discussion last night and
this morning.
The senator characterized the gov
ernor's program as "a slick political
scheme to starve the states insti-
tutions for year or SO; heap size.
able balance IN the treasury, and
then place the blame for the high
taxes on the assembly" As the only
means of. averting predicted storm
of protest. he asserted. the entire
program would have to be changed
during the remaining three days Of
