WAL KER INAUGURATED
FOR SECOND TERM
SAYS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
AND ROAD BUILDING MOST
IMPORTANT MATTERS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Walk
er began his second term as Georgia s
chief executive today. Before a joint
session OF the general assembly he de-
livered his inaugural address and was
formally sworn in for his second term.
When committees appointed by the
house and senate escorted the govern
or into the house chamber, his appear
ance was the signal for applause. The
galleries were crowded with specta-
tors.
The oath of office was administered
by Judge w. F. jenkins, OF the court
OF appeals. Grouped around the ros-
trum were former Governors Joseph
NJ Brown, Nat F. Harris, John M.
Slaton and Hugh Dorsey, and practi-
caly all state house officials and 9TH
er prominent visitors.
In beginning his address Governor
Walker said: with my first word per
nit me to express my profound graft
tive state for their generous endorse
ment of the efforts Of this administra-
| ton in their behalf as evidenced by my
unanimous reelection. | am equally
grateful that | can in all sincerity greet
this new assembly in the conviction
| that unanimous endorsement is tanta-
mount to a mandate from the people
! to the incoming administration, OF
which you are a most vital part, to go
forward in and to a great educational
program and a great highway pro-
gram"
Wants Tax Reform Law.
| Governor Walker advocated the en-
Iactment OF reformed tax laws which
place "a just share" upon intangible
and invisible properties, as means
OF securing funds for the realization
of these two great constructive pro-
grams"
Emphasizing the fact that one half
of the property of the state, intangi-
bic and invisible in character, is now
escaping taxation the governor de
clared that the method OF reaching
these intangibles, and. thereby bring
ing them to the tax books, is the
one, the first and the most important
problem before you"
The chief executive reminded the
legislators that to do this would not
be without its difficulties, but express
ed the confidence that the general as
sembly would tackle the job and FIN
ish it without the slightest delay or
hesitation" He declared further that
the question was controversial in ma
ture, and that with permission of the
general assembly, will address you
at later and more suitable time"
See Dawn of Future.
AS to the future prosperity of Geor-
ga, the governor declared that he had
no dark or destructive sentiments to
bring the Legislators, but that rather
he could see ''the dawn of hope in the
future"
