gripe in ‘little men’ having
water access. This is only
justice.” But, she wrote, “The
recent cost of water is so high
that the babies can’t afford
milk. It seems to me water must
come first to survive and does
give babies a sort of liquid diet
from mush or something.”
Barnett said the contest has
become one between two men
“the chairman of the college
committee and the chairman of
the Tax League.” He suggested
that the election be cancelled
“and then to hold a biscuit eat
ing contest between the two
men if there are enough biscuits
in Griffin to see who is the bet
ter man.”
Mr. Padgett wrote, “I say no
to the junior college. Why? Be
cause of taxes. I paid S9OO feder
al tax last year. Then state tax.
Then tax on new automobile
tires. Then 11 cents a gallon tax
on gas, and I drive 75 miles a
day back and forth to work, then
three percent Georgia sales tax
on every dollar I spent. Then
car tax to get tags for two cars.
I have a wife and four children
to support after all these taxes,
which you can see have already
got about 40 percent of my pay.
That is too much. If the junior
college is going to cost me any
more tax I say forget it.” •
Mr. Leverette wrote, “The
point is this, and this alone: Do
we, or do we not, want a junior
college for the Griffin area? Do
we, or do we not, want to offer
the myriads of young people,
who either drift into low-paying
local jobs or move away to high
er paying ones, a chance to get a
head start in life? Do we, or do
we not, want to bring progress
and acknowledge that we are
concerned with out children’s
future and their chance for the
fulfillment that only a good
education can bring?”
Rev. McGhee wrote, “I
simply will not support any
thing that will increase my
taxes or yours. We are going to
have to find some way of living
within our income. Since no
known politician of the present
day appears willing to act in the
interest of the average tax
payer, we taxpayers must not
support any further tax in
crease. My second reason for
opposing you is that I view with
great suspicion and resentment
any attempt to high pressure
me into anything, let it be a
door-to-door salesman, or your
editorial comments... Many of
us are disappointed in you
showing the spirit you have con
cerning the issue. You, in very
obvious bitterness, have brand
ed all who oppose you in this
junior college proposal as being
‘against everything.’ You
should editorially apologize for
that statement. That is not true.
You certainly have hurt your
cause by that statement, and
lowered the respect that many
held for you. However, if we are
against everything, as you say,
is that any worse than ‘being for
every tiling’?”
Mr. Searcy wrote, “I can not
see how the Taxpayers League
can make a statement that we
in the real estate business are
going to prosper the most. They
must expect strong growth and
increased property values be
cause of the college. If this
happens it could only mean all
property owners will have in
creases in values, or ‘gain’. I
agree with their thinking that
we are going to grow and values
are going up, but I always
thought this was what we want
ed. The college would
strengthen this growth.”
Mr. Rawls wrote, “I will cer
tainly be glad when this mess
about a junior college is over.
Every time I pick up the local
paper the front page is plaster
ed with from one to three artic
les about the mess. It usually
leaves no place for a news ar
ticle if you had one.” He con
tinued, “I agree wholeheartedly
with our leader Mr. Gaissert
and I appreciate him more and
more for what he is doing to in
form the people of the truth.”
He concluded by saying, “I
have seven votes in my family
against the issue come next
Tuesday.”
Licensed Practical Nurse
Domineck wrote, “I don’t be
lieve in spending unnecessary
money. But who do we want to
get the benefit of our money and
saving if not our children?
There is no better way or place
to give our children a fair share
than to have a junior college at
home. Please think! This is our
only and last chance to really
prove to our children ‘I love
you’ and there is no place like
home, no greater love than
God’s.”
