Tallapoosa mayor refuses
TALLAPOOSA, Ga. (AP) -
“A little 9-year-old boy visiting
here from Atlanta last week
saw them take away the police
officers with handcuffs on
them,” the store clerk said
angrily. “He said he couldn’t
wait to get back to tell his
friends he’d been to the crime
city of the world.”
The citizens of this tiny west
Georgia town are upset that 32
people, including four public of
ficials, have been indicted for
conspiracy to steal gasoline
from an interstate pipeline.
Some are upset because offi
cials .they consider honest were
accused. Others are angry be
cause those they consider dis
honest won’t resign.
In a special City Council
meeting this week, a group of 50
to 75 “concerned citizens”
asked the mayor, the police
chief, the assistant police chief
and a city councilman to resign
because they had been indicted.
Mayor Alta Sam Dryden, 57,
who has spent nine years in
federal prisons on convictions of
violating federal liquor laws,
refused to resign unless 51 per
cent of the registered voters
signed a petition asking for his
removal.
“There’s no way you could get
enough people to sign that
thing,” a member of the citizens 1
group said. “He polled 600 votes
for mayor and he was fresh out
of prison and on probation.”
“They’re just plain scared,”
said one town merchant, who
asked not to be identified for
fear of reprisal.
“One girl three doors down
from here told the TV people
she wished they’d clean up this
town,” he continued. The next
day she had a brick thrown
through her front window. You
won’t find many people around
here willing to talk. They got
children to think of.”
In 1976 as many as 30 houses
burned down in this town of
3,000.
“I don’t know if the fires were
set or accidental,” said one man
who worked to keep insurance
underwriters from cancelling
policies in the town.
“I have no reason to suspect
Georgians face tax problems
ATLANTA (AP) - There will
be more than the usual number
of problems for Georgians fill
ing out their state and federal
income tax forms this year.
That’s because the federal
government changed its tax
code but didn’t leave time for
the Georgia legislature to make
similar changes.
Problem areas include sick
pay deductions, child care de
ductions and standard deduc
tions.
In an effort to help out, the
Internal Revenue Service has
opened a special “problem res
olution” office in Atlanta to
handle unusual and complex tax
problems that cannot be solved
with normal calls to the IRS
office, said John Henderson,
Georgia district director for the
IRS.
Child care deductions are po
tentially one of the most serious
problems.
Congress removed the child
care deduction from the federal
tax form and substituted a tax
credit, which can be deducted
directly from taxes to be paid.
The idea was to help married
couples where both parents
work.
But the Georgia tax code says
deductions not allowed on
federal returns will not be
allowed on state returns. So,
Georgia residents cannot claim
a child care deduction this year,
tax officials said.
Thus, working parents who
have a combined income of
Food for
world
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)—An
economic boom lies ahead for
the Southeast in years to come
because of its ability to provide
food to meet world demand, ac
cording to University of Geor
gia dean of agriculture Henry
W. Garren.
Garren told a joint meeting of
the state’s commodity boards in
Columbia Tuesday that the
Southeast is the “last frontier as
far as agriculture in this
nation” is concerned. He said
the region has the ability to
supply the world’s food de
mands and will be called upon
to do so.
Garren said that, while the
Midwest is approaching its ca
pacity through technology, the
Southeast has far from reached
its capacity.
“We are beginning to apply
our technology. No other area of
our country has greater agri
cultural potential than the
Southeast,” Garren said.
“No other area has the unique
combination of resources that
will make it possible to develop
the kinds of agricultural
enterprises that will provide
future needs for food and fiber,”
he said.
The United States will have to
double its food production in
order to meet global demands
by the year 2,000, Garren pre
dicted. He said that in order to
meet that level of production
the Southeast will have to triple
its production.
“We have the climate, the soil
and most of the Southeast is
resting on one of the largest
underground water supplies to
be found anywhere in the
world,” he said.
the city government,” he said,
“but no one has tried to put a
stop to it. I don’t suspect the
mayor but it’s his fanatical
supporters I worry about. They
think anyone who opposes him
is WRONG.”
Albert Gille says he supports
the mayor. “I’ve known him
since he was knee-high to a
duck,” Gille said. “He’s a fine
fellow. I don’t think he had
nothing to do with this.”
Others are tired of the report
ers and FBI men.
“I wish everybody would just
hush up about it and leave Tall
apoosa alone,” said a music
shop clerk. “It would get settled
lots quicker that way.”
Jack Dryden, the mayor’s
son, says the whole matter has
hurt his father a lot. “It shows
in his face,” the younger Dry
den said.
“Really, he’s a fine man,” he
said. “He’d give the shirt off his
back to anybody in this town.”
“He HAS given the shirt off
his back,” said one citizen.
“That’s why people are behind
him. They feel obligated. Dry
den and his people run this town
and they know it.”
>20,000 and who pay >1,200 for
child care would pay an addi
tional >72 in state tax this year,
one expert said.
Sick pay can no longer be ex
cluded from income on federal
returns — but it can be sub
tracted on state forms. How
ever, there are no instructions
in the state tax booklet on how
to do it.
Standard deductions now dif
fer between state and federal
forms.
For example, a person may
find he has >2,600 in itemized
deductions. On a federal form,
the standard deduction is >2,-
800, so that person would save
money by taking the standard
deduction.
Georgia tax law says a person
who does not itemize deductions
on his federal return cannot

itemize them on his state
return.
So, the person with >2,600 in
itemizable deductions must
take the state standard deduc
tion of >2,000 if he takes the
federal standard deduction.
“The thing is that most state
legislatures meet only for so
many days a year — and then
they go home before Congress
gets around to making changes
in the tax laws,” said one tax
expert. “You can’t blame the
states. In most cases, they don’t
have the opportunity to do
anything about it."
However, Henderson said
most federal tax problems can
be solved by reading and fol
lowing instructions carefully.
The toll free phone number
for those with serious problems,
he said, is 800-222-1040.
