GOVERNOR CHARGES
PLANS FOR REPEAL
Of TOBACCO LEVY

Reviewing his efforts at tax re-
form in Georgia, Governor Clifford
Walker yesterday outlined in a
statement significant developm ents
in the Investigations of the state tax
commission, and exposed what he
terms "other plans, under cover" to
thwart attempts at tax reform IN
Georgia.
In support OF his charge, the gov
ernor gave out the text Of a letter
which he says is being circulated in
Georgia by the Tobacco Consumers
league, 50 North Pryor street, At
lanta. and signed by Frank Weldon
and T. J. Simmons.
The letter seeks subscriptions from
the tobacco dealers of the state to
fund for an organized fight for the
repeal of the Miner special tobacco
tax. which was enacted at the last
session of the general assembly.
Governor Walker asserts that II
the efforts Of Messrs. Weldon and
Simmons in raising funds are wholly
successful, it is estimated that cam
paign fund of $202, 900 will be raised.
and that if these gentlemen succeed
in interesting only one-half OF those
solicited the fund will approximate
100000.
Just how the fund is to be ex-
pended is, of course, unknown, says
Governor Walker, but the people
should know what is going on IN
Geogria."
Tobacco Men Pleased
Messrs. Weldon and Simmons, both
of whom are we'll known in Georgia,
professed to be we'll pleased with the
publicity given them and the Tobac-
co Consumers league by the gov
errors statement. Mr.. Weldon has
accompanied the tax commission on
its tour of the state.
1--WE thank the governor mos!
heartily for the publicity which he is
giving to this protest by the TOBACCO
farmers and the tobacco consumers
against an unjust and outrageous
special tax on a group of citizens TOT
special purposes" says statement
issued by Messrs. Weldon and Sim
mons.
GLASS legislation is. pernicious in
principle and most dangerous IL
practice. We are in the publicity
business and we are doing per
fectIy legitimate work in legitl'
mate way in the interest of the to-
bacco farmers md tobacco con-
sumers."
The governor announced that SAM
Tqte. OF Tate, and John D. Haddock:
of Damascus, will join the commits

will include visits to Columbus, on

tive office that Representative Her
schcl Elders, Of Tattnau county,
nrospective opponent of Governor
Walker for reelection, will appear

to present his views on taxation.
Summary of Week

developments, Governor Walker de-
clares:
1. That the people are unanimous
Nv of the opinion that the ad vRlorem

M|DOCEAN SERVICE FUR HARDING HELD ABOARD LEV|ATHAN
President Sacrificed Himself Upon Altar Of Service,
 Says Secretary Davis

ON BOARD S. S. LEVIATHAN. AT SEA, August 10.-(By Wireless.)- American passengers, speeding to- ward New York Friday, met In solemn midocean services to honor the memory of President Harding The services were held at the exact moment the Presidents funeral was being held in Marion, 2,000 miles away.
 .,He enters into our national trad itions as one of the sweetest and gentlest memories of the western world" Secretary of Labor Davis de- clared in addressing the congregation gathered In the salon.
 'President Harding sacrificed him. self upon the altar sof service-a man with heart beating for the good of all the people, his genius lay in his desire to do all that he could for histfellow men. His first thought was always for the other fellow. He was a true humanitarian, and well might be called Americas leading fraternalist.
 People Not To Forget.
 "The American people will not for get the force of his energy and the well conserved and exalted plans which turned the tide of unemploy- ment in our country as 1t existed when he took over the reins ot government Nearly 5000, 900 men had been separated from the pay rolls of our industries. They looked to him to find a way out of their aad condition. and he did not fall.
 While other nations struggled unsuccessfully to cope with problems aS r~o1 cd In | h a history of the world, our beloved leader led the people from the crowded soup kitchens into walks of happy, contented industry.
 "IIe firmly took the stand that the workman's lowest wage must be enough for comfort, enough to make his house home, and enough to insure that the struggle for existence should not crowd out the things worth existing for.
 O O 0
 "Met the Challenge"
 "One of Americas leading econom- ists told me that no President of the United States ever assumed office in peace or in war with greater respon- abilities than did Warren q. Hard ing. He assumed leadership of our country at a time when the insidious forces of class leadership and class dominion were seeking good hold
  lenge of the class world with his un- swerving loyalty to the common wei fare and his unshaken faith in the unity of our common life.
 He enforced the law of the land against the criminal rich or the criminal poor alike. He expected every American, whether living in poor house or mansion, to doff his hat before the American flag.
 'If you want to see the monument to our departed President when you return to America, look about you. Picture the transformation accom- pished. Within but short period of his administration men and wom- en are breathing out the spirit of happiness, contentment and love. The monument of Warren G. Harding is engraved on the hearts of the Amer ican people. He was the beating heart of the national government, and enters into our national traditions as one of the sweetest and gentlest memories of the western world.
 Tn his death the American people have lost splendid servant and l have lost my friend"
