 Suggests Conference Of officials
 It Is suggested that the legisla- ture "be asked to authorize, at state expense, a conference of judges and prosecutors of courts. either by counties. 10 savo expense, or in a single group, for consideration of the subjects of uniformity of discipline and exact determination of punish ment, so that all courts may unl- formly handle similar cases, retain Ing common sense discretion for cases in which there are extenuat- Ing circumstances"
 Tho bulletin makes 1t plain that fast driving is not always 10 be con- sidered reckless driving. There are llidlli ilSthHGtss U pOihth outt where speeding Is too fast to go un- punished, because of the fact that the car Is out of control for an emer- sency which might arise, but a high CT degree of speed than ordinary Is perhaps not unreasonable on road where there Is no traffic and no danger to others. However, if con- sidered unreasonable by an officer there ought to be provision under the law whereby q different charge than reckless driving can be made" | Az the law now stands, many people are punished for reckless driving who are not intentionally reckless, and such people ought not to be cassed In the same category with those who are determinedly and wilfuly regardless of the rights, safety and property of others.

HOG PRICES GOOD;
FARMERS HAVE NONE

VALDOSTA, July 31.-With d
general shortness in hogs this sea-
son, the prices are rapidly adyanc-
ing and those experienced in tha
business are Of the opinion that
with a comparatively short time
the price win reach at least ten
cents. The hog production in the
west is very short this year accord
ing to government statistics and ia
South Georgia the scarcity Of hogs
is very noticeable. OF course, the
local deficiency would not especial
~ affect the general market were
it not for the shortage in the west.
It seems reasonable that those who
have hogs this year viii get more
for them than in several past sea-
sons. Comparatively few farnws
have had hogs enough this year to
consume the waste crops in the
fields, which is an added loss.

NEARLY 3 MILLIONS
TAXES ALREADY PAID
Eighty-Five Georgia Counties
Have Failed to Make Final
Settlements With Treasury

Atlanta, July 81.--Althougn
reports of tax collectors in IS
counties Of the state have not been
received yet, the balance due the
state treasury to complete settle
ment of ad valorem collections for
1928 is only $27o,S9485, it is stat
ed by William A. Harrison tar
clerk in the office Of Comptroller
General Wright. Final reports
have been made by only rs to 100
counties, but the small balance due
is caused by the fact that settle
ments have been made IN practic-
ally all counties having a large
proportionate share of taxes it is
pointed out.
According to the tax digest col
lections for 1928 are expected to
total $500, 1891, including ad
yalorem and poll taxes, Of this
sum $4,764,651.91 is ad valorem.
and 1866, 688.00 is poll taxes.
Of the total amount $4,S38,825.'
08 has been paid in. The large
proportion of amount paid in, com.
pared to the proportion Of counties
which have made their final settle
ment, is due to the fact that prac-
tically all those counties still in
Arrears, owe only a small amount
Fulton, for instance, which pays 9
heavy proportion of the I'D valorem
tax Of the state, has not made final
settlement yet, though practically
all taxes have been paid in.
The figures given above do not
allow for insolvent taxpayers, which
will reduce the final total some
what, although this loss will proba-
by the offset by added collections
for properties not on the digest
which also are not included.
