Accomplishment

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June

here last night what the federal
government has accomplished in
decreasing taxes and the public
debt and made a plea for action
along similar lines by the states,
municipalities and counties.
The Executive said the federal
government is diligently seeking
to prove itself a helpful example"
in removing what he character
lied as the menace Of mounting
taxes and growing public indebted
ness, but added that this was not
alone a federal problem that "the
order must come into the
units of government into which the
federal government never i'm.
trades"
Mr.. Harding did not take up in
his address any contemplated adj
ministration program for tax re-
vision in the coming year. He did
say, however, that the federal gov
ernment was working under
program which involves extin-
gushing half billion of the (pub-
licl debt each year" and asserted
that the payments which the Bri-
tish government will make under
the British-American debt settle
ment will correspondingly relieve
the burden upon American tax
payers"
The president declared no
other country in the world had
been able to make such a record
in public debt reduction as had
the United States. Pointing to
reduction of more than one half
in federal taxes during the past

ALLAN i A, June Zf.'sN lIn Lu'
opening of the annual sessions o.
the legislature here today, the ta1
problem which will confront tht
the members of the ways anC
means committee is uppermost II
the minds of large percentage OF
the capitol officials.
The first two days of the ses-
sion will be given over to the or
ganization of the two houses. Coy
ernor Hardwick is expected to ap-
pear before a joint meeting Of the
two houses to deliver his message
Friday and the Inauguration OF
Clifford M. Walker as the new
governor is. scheduled for Satur-
day.
With these formalities cleared
away, the legislature will be ready
Tor the announcement OF the vari-
Gus working committees early in
the coming week, after which il
will settle down to the orderly dis
position of business.
Three candidates have been an
nounced for president of the sen.
ate in the persons Of George H.
Carswell, former house leader from
Wilkinson county; Howard Coates,
from Pulaski county, and w c.
Mundy, Of Polk county. Major D. F.
McClatchey is expected to have nc
opposition for rejection as clerk OF
the senate.
Cecil Neil, of Muscogee county
has no opposition as speaker of the
house and E. B. Moore, of De
Kalb, is not anticipating an oppon-
ent for the clerkship Of that body
Three entries have been announc-
ed, however in the race for speak
er protein Of the house. including
DR., Craig R. Arnold, of Lumpkin
R. B. Russell, Jr, Of Barrow, and
Herman Miner Of Dodge.
Some Of the keenest students OF
tax legislation in the state and
men who are familiar with legis,
lative machinery, anticipate the re-
peal of the tax equalization law as
one of the first actions of the in
coming assembly. With this dis.
posed of, it is stated, the chances
of sound tax legislation being en-.
acted will be greatly improved.
Comptroller General, William A
Wright has expressed the opinion
that some system other than aC
valorem taxation must be worked
out. Property values will drop, he
believes, basing his belief upor
various reports from several coun,
ties of the state in which de.
creases in the valuation of proper
ty have already been listed. With
the decrease of valuations, the
revenue of the state will drop ac.
cordingly, he states.
A special tax on soft drinks
cigarettes, cigars and tobacco i.
pointed to by many as a possible
solution to the situation, while the
highway department urges an ad
ditional tax on gasoline and lubri
eating oils for the highway funds
1t is within the power of the legis
lature to place a tax on stocks, il
IS stated, but such action is not
anticipated.
The announcement of some plar
by Governor elect Walker is eager
ly anticipated by many of the
statehouse officials. Mr.. Walker
has announced he will retain Miss
Myrtle White as executive secre-
tary and will bring Peter S. Twitty
Of Dublin, as his private secretary
He has made no announcement OF
