almost from first appearance on the
political horizon OF the state.
AS mayor of Oklahoma City he
practically inundated the town with
special policemen appointed fir n
among his political friends. In tho
gubernatorial campaign Of 1922 he
exposed the cause of the non-par-
tisan league, then beginning to
show strength among the farmers
of the state, and accepted the

ty. a coalition of non-partisan
league forces, radica labor, and
embattled farmer elements.

vited to attend, and a large pro-
portion of its citizens did attend.

A SYNOPSIS OF
MONDAYS SESSION


ATLANTA. Nov. 20.-When the
house of representatives adjourn
ed Monday night, debate on the
proposal to adopt an income tax as
the basic source of revenue for
state purposes was well under way.
The actual bill before the house was
the one introduced by Chairman
w. Jones. Of the committee on
amendments to the constitution,
and known as the committee bill.
The first speech in support of the
income tax proposal was made by
Representative Ellis of Tiff, mem
Der of the tax commission and ard
ent supported of the income tax
plan.
Representative Mcclure, of Wal
ker county. another member of the
tax comission, also spoke in favor
of an income tax. He told the
house that in so far as the general
question of tax reform is concern
ed, it would make no difference
to the political fortunes of Cover
nor Walker whether the house did
the work for which it had been
called or not he said the vast
majority of the people of the state
was convinced that the governor
has handled his end Of the problem
in a diGnified and businesslike
menner and that il the assembly
failed to provide relief for the
obnoxious" tax system now in
operation, it would be the assemb-
ly which would have to bear the
blame and not the governor,
Representative Rowe. of Rich
mond county, had Just begun to
speak when a molten to adjourn
until 10 o'clock Tuesday, with the
provie'c7 that NJ Nowo havo tho
fltJ IN a. isolate opened,
was osgried.
At the morning session, Repre-
sentative Stewart, of Atkinson
county, introduced a motion pro-
viding that the legislature adjourn
sine die next Saturday, regardless
of the status OF its business at that
time. He argued that sufficient
had been accomplished ana that it
was best that the legislators leave
the tax situation as it is at present.
Representative Fleming. of Han
cock, spoke against the motion,
stating that. even before the spe-
cial session began, letters had been
sent out by the Georgia Taxpayers
league, predicting that Mr.. Stewart
would Introduce a resolution on
November II. The speaker said
that the gentleman from Atkinson
was two days behind schedule but
was evidently running comparative
ly true to form.
Mr.. Stewart stated that if such
letters had gene out, it was en-
tirely without his knowledge or au.
thorization. He said he did not
know any officers Of the Taxpay-
ers' league, even by sight and that
he was not interested in any legis,
lation on behalf Of any corporal
tions.
Representative Woodruff, of De
Kalb, asked Mr.. Stewart if he die
not know that one of.s5he principa
reasons for the loss time in tho
house was because he, Mr.. Stew
art. insisted on taking up tar
houses time by speaking.
The resolution was ovorwheln}
ingly defeated, only a scatterin.
