A. O. BLALOCK PROMINENT
VISITOR TO DAWSON
Was Here Monday in Interest of His
Candidacy for Commissioner.

Mr.. A. O. Blalock, former internal
revenue collector for Georgia, was in
Dawson Monday. Mr.. Blalock is a
candidate for commissioner OF agricul-
ture. He met many OF the Terrell
county voters while here, and Judging
by the expressions heard on all sides,
he made a most favorable impression.
Mr.. Blalocks business-like record as
revenue collector will no doubt give
him a strong pull on the farmers of
Georgia. He thinks he can easily cut
the expenses of the office many thous-
ands of dollars short of what they
have been.

PROPOSED TWENTIETH AMENDMENT.

Financial conditions and heavy taxes have directed
much attention to the proposed twentieth amendment
to the federal constitution. It affects al taxpayers
without regard to political affiliations.
Three resolutions providing for an amendment to
permit federal taxation of state and municipal bonds
have been introduced and referred to congressional
committees.
They are all in harmony with the recommendation
Of President Harding's message to congress:
II think our tax problems, the tendency Of wealth
to seek non-taxable investment, and the menacing in.
CREASE of public debt, federal, state and municipal
all justify a proposal to change the constitution so a,
to end the issue of non-taxable bonds"
Tho last resolution introduced, that by Representa-.
tive w. R. Green OF Iowa, is received with favor be.
cause it prohibits any discrimination between federal
and state securities. The ways and means commit
tee Of the house has 1t under consideration. It would
add as the amendment the following:
''That from and after the adoption Of this amend.
ment as part of the constitution the provisions Of the
sixteenth amendment to the constitution shall apply
to and include income derived from securities there.
after issued or created by any state or political sub
division thereof, or any dependency of the United
