High School and College conferenc.
{ BY Zelma De Foret !


Mr.. Birdick attended the State
Meeting Of School men. which was
held Thursday, Friday and Saturday
OF last week. He reports an attend
ence Of about four hundred. Many
problems common to the college and
high school were discussed; such as,
"Accrediting the high school," RE
form in the Curriculum" What the
College expects Of the high school, 1"
1.-THE trials Of the college freshman, Z"
Entrance requirements and many
other such topics.
| Dean Hellems Of the College Of
Liberal Arts. proposed that the col
lege accept pupils with one unit con-
dition instead Of the two units they
now accept, but the proposition was
defeated.
Mr.. Loomis Of Denver gave a
most excellent address on proposed
income reforms. Among other things
he said, the trouble with our system
is that so much property which rep
resents money is not taxed; such as
jewelry, stocks, bonds, money in the
bank, and non-taxable securities
He gave statistics to show that
$40, 0,O00. 900 900 in the United States
are represented in the above class
This, II taxed, would reduce taxes at
least one-third. He suggests as a
possible aid to the tax problem, tax
ing every individual that has an in
come. He said the farmer cannot
conceal his stock, implements, hay
and grain, as can the society lady
her jewels when the assessor arrives,
or bonds and money in safety vaults.

BOUT SEPT. IA
One Of Fastest Fights Of The
Year Arranged By The
Legion

Arrangements have been complet-
ed for boxing exhibition here Sep
tember ID, when Eddie Hanlon, of
Birmingham, and Young Stribling, of
Macon, will meet in decision bout
over the ten-round route.
This scrap is easily the best ar
ranged affair that has been staged
in this section and incidentally the
fight between Hanlon and Stribling
should be one of the best hat has
been staged in the state this year.
By many Hanlon is considered
much better scrapper than the Ma
con flash and that he carries around
a punch that is moso effective, has
been demonstrated time and again
and because of this wallop there are
hosts of Hanlon's friends who believe
he will do what no other fighter has
ever accomplished, that is knock the
Central City phenom cold.
On the other hand there are Strib-
ling hackers who thing that Hanlon
will have his work cut out for him
but they are willing to admit that
Eddie is one hard nut to crack.
The American Legion is putting
on the show and it will be staged in
Rylander 'theater. One of the pre-
Inns ,will bring Bob Gibson, the
the Plains bearcat and Kid Kimsey,
the Americus Fitzsimmons, into the
ring together. This bout ought to
shape up well with the main event
as these two boys are first class box
ers and have plenty of serapping
ability.
The Legion committee will ar
range the remainder Of the card
within the next few days.

FOOLISH POLICY
OF LEGISLATURE
Attacks Plan Of Appropriating
Money And Failure To Enact
Revenue Bills

ALPHARETTA, August 22.-The
policy of granting large appropria-
tions without providing the revenue
to counterbalance the expense to the
state was vigorously attacked by Gov
ernor Hardwick in his speech here
today.
This announcement of the pension
bill, which the governor said he would
veto, was followed by caustic criti-
cism of what heitermed Clifford Wal
ker's "pussy-footing tactics"
Without providing any method to
raise the necessary money, Mr.. Wal
ker would double the states ex-
penses, the governor said.
With the state unable to meet its
present budget with it's present reve-
nue-raising laws, and win Mr.. Wal
ker favoring the repeal of the tax
equalization law, opposing any income
tax law or any other revenue laws,
| cannot understand how he expects
to find money to pay these taxes, the
governor declared.
Reform in the pension laws to
eliminate three classes of pensioners
was outlined by the speaker, who
designated these classes as 'fthose who
are wealthy, those who have moved
to Georgia from other states, and
widows who have married veterans
since 1870"
He declared it to be unfair to have
gubernatorial campaign every two
years. When a governor has made a
constructive record it is unfair to him
and unwise8 so far as public welfare
is concerned to make him conduct q
campaign for endorsement of his rec
ord" he said.
An audience of several hundred
people heard the governors speech,
in which he outlined four points op-
position to the two-year term, restric-
ton of appropriations to the amount
that the state revenues justify, proviS-
ion of a real budget and audit sys
tem for the state, approval of pen
sion known as the cold classes" but
opposition to the new classes of pen
sions.
In f1aying the Ku Klux Klan, the
governor insisted that his opposition
to the khan is not against it is an
organization but as a stand against
lawlessness.
81 gan absolutely opposed to mask
ed men seeking to regulate the con-
duct or the morals of any of our citi-
zef1s, or otherwise to usurp the law
and the courts" he said. ''If this
were tolerated, it would be a simple
matter for negroes to, hood and
shroud themselves and go about visit
ing vengeance upon anyone they
choose
There are great many evils and
abuse which could result from the
wearing of masks"
