LIVESTOCK DESTROYED BY TORNADO IN lee
HARDWICK DECIDES To
ACCEPT FEDERAL JOB
Georgia Governor To Become
Assistant u. S. Attarney Gen
eral AT Expiration of Term

ATLANTA, March 7.-Gov4rnor
hardwick announced today he would
accept the appointment as special
United States attorney general at
the expiration of his term as gov
ernor June 80. In a statement an
nouncing the acceptance of the ap-
pointment, the governor said the
position in question is special as
sistant to the attorney general on
the advisory board of war transac-
tions section of the department of
jutsice for the investigation and
prosecution of fraud cases growing
out Of the war.
"At an early date I shall go to
Washington for a consultation with
my colleagues and hope to be able to
begin my service there July l." said
the governor in conclusion.
1t was reported last night on what
appears to be excellent authority that
such a strong proposal has beenmade
to Governor Hardwick which would
call him to Washington and New
York at very early date there is
every likelihood he will accept it,
which is taken rather to tend to n
indication that the governor possibly
will not continue in office until the
end of his term, but may resign.
While Governor Hardwick could
not be reached last night for some
statement in connection with the re-
port, it is understood the tender IS
in connection with prosecution of the
cases of alleged war graft in which
he is to be given special assign
ment to represent the federal gov
fernment.
1t was said the governor has not
indicated whether he will accept the
proposition or not, but a number of
close friends appear to believe the
chances are he will. The desire, it
is said, would be that the engage
ment not call him to Washington un-
til alter the third week IN June, Dut
whether that desire can be met is
not known and, if it can be so arrang-
ed, it is said there is the strongest
probability the governor will assume
the assignment whenever it becomes
necessary.
Assuming the reports to be as well
founded as they appear to be, Gov
ernor-elect Walker could not assume
the office until the date on which the
term for which he was elected be-
gins, which means if there should be
resignation the president of the
senate will fill the office for not
more than 80 days.

DOUBLE STATE TAX ON
GAS IS ADVOCATE Ed
Head of Highway Department In
Speech Urges Levy of Two
Cents On Each Gallon

MACON, March 7.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-A state tax of two
cents gallon on gasoline and oil
to raise sufficient funds to meet the
federal aid in good road building in
Georgia was advocated here today
by John NJ. Holder, chairman of the
state highway commission, in an ad-
dress before the Macon Kiwanis club.
Already one cent gallon is now
being paid on gasoline, declared Mr..
Holder This brought in a revenue
last year Of $800,00O. Two cents on
gas and oil will produce about ST.
100000. he said. The head of the
good roads department also added
that by an increase levy on gasoline
and oil "the tourists, who do con-
siderable damage to our roads will
pay something toward their repair.
The state aid system Of public
highways in Georgia consists of s.
500 miles, Mr.. Holder explained
Every county seat in Georgia has at
least two state roads. Of the $500
miles, 1,738 have either been built
or are under construction. About
400 miles will be put under construc-
tion this year, Mr.. Holder said.
The total amount of federal funds
allotted to Georgia to June 80, 1928,
is S1O786,586, every dollar Of which,
said Mr.. Holder, has been matched
bv the state either with county or
state funds. He declared no federal
aid road funds are available to any
state unless an amount is provided
with which to match the federal
funds on fifty-fifty basis Or dollar
for dollar.
"Georgia's share Of federal funds
This wear was 1881 900, while next
wear her quota will be $1,755,OOO,
the following year $1,997,OO and,
according to the program outlined by
congress, her quota will be $2,7O0,-
600 each year thereafter" said the
speaker.
The question may be asked, said
Mr.. Holder, what becomes of the
motor vehicle tax? Why not use that
for getting federal aid for Georgia?
The total amount" declared Mr.
Holder, COLLECTED last year was ST.
$4,000. The expense Of collecting
was S64,291.99, leaving $1,765,-
7O8.o1 to be used in road improve
ment. Presuming the income this
wear will be as much as in 1922, a
budget has been made for the year
1928"
"Of the motor vehicle tax, $780,
600 will be spent on new construc-
lion 100000 old construction and
$4,000 will be spent on research work
and testing material especially for
enrfscinp roads. A total Of $160

millions of construction being carried
on in Georgia, $5o,OOO is allowed by
law for emergencies.
