SLATON HASNO
OFFICE DESIGNS
So Say Friends Of Former Gov.
ernor Who Is Now Active In
Tax Fight

ATLANTA, April ISIS Former
Governor Slaton trying to "cofne
back" in Georgia politics?
1t may be stated with reasonable
degree of certainty, according to
close friends, that at the present
time, Mr.. Slaton has no political as
pirations.
True, the former governor is
speaking about over the state. He is
also speaking on one of the Invest
political questions of the day-that
of taxes. When you get down into
the tax question, you touch folks with
money, and they will prick their ears
at once. Mr.. Slaton is opposed to
the proposed state income tax advo-
Gated by Governor hardwick.
Mr.. Slaton, say those close to him,
is not seeking a return to political
office. lie is now, as he always has
been, a close student of state affairs,
is frequently consulted by max
ers and others on proposed legisla-
ton, and the speeches he has been
making recently, are delivered upon
special invitation of organizations
and communities.
Tax Equalization Law.
The tax equalization law was pass
ed during Governor Slaton's admin
istration. He was at first criticized
for this piece of legislation. 1t
was called political mis-
take. Yet as time went on and
its provisions were understood, its
merit was recognized. Now it is
spoken of as the most constructive
law on the statute books.
The tax proposal of Governor
Hardwick is to substitute an income
tax for the ad valorem tax, and Mr..
Slaton cannot see it that way. The
abolition of the ad valorem tax, he
believes, would destroy the very
foundation stone of taxation.
So there you are. The former gov
ernor stands upon one taxation plan
while the present governor has an
other plan. The Georgia legislature
will have an opportunity at its June
session to go into the question to its
hearts content.
Mr.. Slaton's speechmaking and re-
cent public utterances have undoubt-
eddy put him in the political lime
light again, and while. it may be stat
ed with certainty that he does not
aspire to office, his friends are de-
termined at no distant date, say po-
litical leaders, to bring him back in
the political arena. Newspaper edi-
tors in particular, are calling atten-
ton to the possibility of Slaton get
ting back into the political game, if
not Of his own choice, at least upon
insistent demand of his friends. Note
this:
Vindication for Slaton.
A score of state papers are now
predicting that the wrong they did
John NJ. Slaton, as they term it, for
his action in the Leo Frank case will
