safis aGtoEy taN reform legislation
d44lfs .4tfe present extraordinary
session Of the Georgia General As
sembly in order that a future poll
Teal reform may be inaugurated IN
1924, today was urged BY Represcn-
tatiSe,Lee Langley, Of Floyd.
These further proposed reforms
were enumerated by Mr., Langley
as follows.
l. -Four year terms for state OF
ficers, with the governor ineligible
to succeed himself
2 Biennial sessions of the as

3. Production OF the member
ship OF the legislature by creation
Of legislative districts into popula-
ticp units
4. Placing all attaches of state
departments under civil service
rules. after the heads of the depart
ments have made the appointments.
that is, it was explained, after the
heads ST the departments have
made their appointments, the APP
pointees. automatically pass under
civil service regulations.
Chances COW favor the enact
ment Of satisfactory tax reform leg
islatieH hy the extra session, UNI
less its passage Is blocked by fac
tional fights over other measures,
Mr. Langley said "The assumr-
ton of definite leadership by Gov
elnor Walker and the good impress
sion made on the public by the tax
commission resulted n distinct
changes Of attitude Of recalcitrant
factions and rising tide of senG-
ment in favor OF disposing Of the
tax question right now.
The people Of Georgia waat
their tax trouble settled; they have
lost patience with legislation
wlHpgling and demand prompt aud
definite action. The members Of
the general assembly have heard
ominious sounds when they put
their ears to the ground" since
last August
J did not believe an extra scs-
sion necessary and a large number
Of representatives, shared this view
but now that we have il, is is our
duty to get the very bbst results
out of il for Georgia that we can.
The peoples money must pay the
expense Of the extra session ana
we must make it profitable 10
