Georgia Should Appropri¬
ate $ 100.000 Per Year
For Advertising
(Augusta Chronicle) I
The Georgia legislatue will soon
meet and it will bethe fist biennial
session since the new constitutional
amendment with this povtston was
passed. There are n great many mat¬
ters of importance confronting the
legislature, including the problem of
securing permanent highways, tax
matters, our educational system, etc.,
Chronicle from time t otime. How
all of which will be dealt with by The
ever, there is matter of so much im¬
portance to the state that we should
begin to work on it at once and that
is for our legislature to appropriate
$100,000 per year to advertise Geor¬
gia. The legislature of Florida at
Tallahassee recently appropriated
$50,000 to advertise Florida, which is
quite a neat sum, but Georgia needs
more money for advertising for this
state has not as yet had the vast de¬
velopment that is going on in Flori¬
da but which is certain to come to
this state if we will but direct our
energies in the right direction.
There can be no question but that
advertising has made North Carolina
and Florida what they are, and a
great amount of it is free advertising
because of the great strides that the
people of these two states are mak¬
ing. Advertising through the newspa¬
pers, magazines and by word of
mouth are all splendid methods and
the more one advertises the easier
it is to get additional advertising. The
Ford Motor Co., gets millions of dol¬
lars of free publicity each yaer due
to the enormous production capacity ’
of the Ford Company and every new
venture of Henry Ford is given bar- i
rels of free publicity because he is
asknowledged success in everything
he undertakes. Palm Beach and Mi
ami, Florida get pictures in the roto
sections „ ,• of , the ,, greatest , ,
newspapers

cause the preliminary advertising
that these cities did, brought people
there wl10 at-e figures of national in
: terest. Therefore, when national ce- j
lebrities in '
the social and political
world go to Florida resorts the news- |
paper photographers follow them.
Now, once Georgia begins to spend
large sums for advertising, she too,
will get a large amount of free pub

STATE MUST END UNIVERSITY’S TEN YEARS

SNELLINS DEMONSTRATES
Approximately $3.500 ,000 must he

the university is to keep pace, even

and xpanding institutions of similar
nature located fn other states, in the
opinion of Dr Charles M. Snelling,
Dean of the University.
Dean Snelling pointed out the
needs of the university in a recent
address delivered before the Univer
slty Club of Savannah. He suramariz
ed these needs using figures compiled
by the University budget committee
as his basis. He declared that the
time for action has come if the Uni
versify is to live and thrive. He
showed what other states, many of
them southern states, are doing for
their higher institutions of learning,
and drew a comparison which showed
that Georgia, as a fftate, is lagging
^ ^ BUPP ° rt ° f
One of the first steps to he taken
to Improve conditions at the Univer
sit.v should lie the completion of a
survey of the entire university sys
tern
“What I should like to have is a
complete survey, made by detached but
sympathetic agencies, of the entire
University," Dean Snelling declared.
“Indeed such a survey is desirable for
the whole university system. The
results of such a survey, arrived at
by collaboration with those of us on
the ground, would give a reasonably
sure basis of comparison and erect a
standard to be aimed at.”
Using the minimum figures of the es
timate Dean Snelling summarized
monetary needs of the university as
follows:
Increase in maintenance for
$102,350; increase In maintenance for
supplies and equipment, $71,185;
creases for miscellaneous purposes.
$120,755; appropriation for buildings,
Immediate, $500,000; appropriations
for buildings after 1926, $2,800,000;
tal, $3,594,290. The budget committee
also recommended an annual increase
of 10 per cent In maintenance
Meets Immediate Need
Dean Snelling declared these

of the progress made at the

tion of Chancellor David
and pointed out In particular the rapid
growth of the College of
tinder the direction of Dr. A M
Soule. He then recited the growing
demands on the university and
constantly increasing number of
dents,
“The rapid increase in the
of students coupled with the fact
few additions have been made to
faculty, has resulted in a
condition of congestion. Lecture room
and laboratory space is practically
what it was in 1915,” Dean
sa ld. "The library, which is Ihe heart
of the institution, has had no

or in equipment. During all
years no money at all lias been
in buildings. In many cases
are so large that effective teaching , . . is
out of the question. In some

of $750,000 spent in buildings during
this period. Mississippi spent half a
million and Georgia spent exactly
nothing in building appropriations
from 1915 to 1925.
Dean Snelling then went into fur¬
ther details concerning North Caro¬
lina's educational progress and show¬
ed where that state in four years spent
$9,824,000 for permanent improvements
in higher education and for mainte¬
nance $8,003,000. He polluted out
that North Carolina, in this period,
spent $1,084,000 for permanent im¬
provement to negro institutions and
$615,000 for maintenance.

“I have dwelt at some length on

times feel themselves to be and fur
iher because it shows what can he
done when once a proper will to do
is educated, ’ he said,
Dean Knelling uttered the hopeful
note that in Georgia all signs now point
to an educational awakening.
“Years ago when Walter Page, Doc
tor Melver, Doctor Alderman and Gov
, rnor Aycoek started the campaign for
| education in North Carolina the peo
p) e were hardly less reluctant to etn
bark upon new and ambitious enter
prises or impose new taxes upon them
> s( .]ves than are the people of Geor
gj a today,” Dean Knelling declared,
"Georgia now, like North Carolina
then. Is waiting for leadership,” Dean
j snelling continued. “The secret ol
j North Carolina’s progress lies in thi
men who led the fight, who, puttiiv;
aside private affairs, gave expression
to their love for and faith in North
Carolina by preaching the doctrine of
progress from one end of the state to
the other. In Georgia the signs al!
favor an educational awakening. At
the last session of the legislature a
small increase was voted to the main
tenance of the University of Georgia
To me the striking thing was that then
was no recorded opposition to the
item.”
Dean Snelling then pointed out tin
significant fact that there is no long?
any rivalry between the higher eduen
tionnl institutions of the state and tin
denominational institutions. He sail
all now have as many students as the;
can handle.
"Enough has come to pass to mak
us realize that the south lies open ti
competition from the best brains ot
the nation," Dean Snelling concluded.
“Her progress being assured, what an
we going to do in the way of furnishin;
leaders in the development ? if vi¬
sit supinely by leadership must pas
to other hands. Young men and youni
women of Georgia must have the op
portunities given so freely and so gra
ciously by other sections of the com
try. Education for the ntases and edu
cation for leadership. A well roundeu
and complete system of grammar and
high schools. Modern and properly
equipped normal schools. A school of
Technology amply able to meet the
needs of the time and a university in
fact as well as in name.”

Georgia's Country Bankers
(Atlanta Journal)
In its election of officers and fram¬
ing of policies the Georgia Country
Bankers’ Association, at its recent
annual convention in Savannah, show¬
ed discernment worthy of its best
traditions. For president it chose
Mr. R. B. Dixon, of West Point; for
first vice president, Mr. C. E. Mar¬
tin, of Fort Valley; for second vice
president, Mr. M. L. Lee, of Moul¬
trie; for secretary-treasurer and for
general counsel, respectively, Mr. L
R. Adams and Mr. Alex W. Smith,
Jr., of Atlanta. The new president
of the association is a Georgian tried
and true, broad in his interests,
staunch in his devotions, a builder in
his own community and a leader for
what is best in the entire common¬
wealth. Of like caliber are his offi¬
cial associates, all men of marked
ability and constructive patriotism.
As for the new executive commit¬
tee, to name its members is highly to
commend it. They are Messrs. R. B, '
Dixon, president of the Citizens bank
of West Point; Luther Bond,
dent of the Royston bank; J. S. Pe¬
ters, vice president of the Bank of
Manchester; R. L. McClain, vice pres¬
ident of the Pickens County Bank, of
Jasper; T. E. Martin, Mitchell, cash
ler of the Georgia State Bank, of
Omega; C. E. Martin, vice president
of the Citizens Bank, of Fort Valley;
A. N. Tunlin, president of the Bank
of Cave Spring; M. L. Lee, cashier
of the Moultrie Banking Company. .’
of Moultrie; B. R. Hale, cashier of
the Georgia State Bank of Hawkins
ville; L. F. Cater, cashier of the Per
ry Loan and Savings Bank, of Perry,
and A. M. Wilson, cashier of the
Bank of Pinehurst.
Particularly gratifying, from a
standpoint of the common interests,
is the association’s establishment of
three new standing committees: one
on agriculture, one on taxation, and
one on Georgia development. It
means much for the State that these
great fields of inquiry and of ser¬
vice are to have the organized and
sustained attention of the country
bankers.
poration laws, placing the same on a
par with Delaware.
The Wall Street Journal is a close
student of economic state legislation,
and in reviewing the wok of the
Florida assembly it says:
“The legislature of Florida has ad¬
journed. The tax critics of Florida
have been disappointed. One year ago
the cynics in every part of the coun¬
try, including profound authorities on
economics, predicted that the consti
tutional prohibition of state income
and inheritance taxes in Florida would
result in excessive taxation in other
forms. Not a single new form of tax
ation has been created.
“The legislature did not even go so
far as to exercise its constitutional
right to impose a tax not to exceed
five mills on intangibles.
“The growing wealth of Florida
converted many old-timers into digni¬
fied conservatives. Their ‘peepul’ back
home, busy accumulating cash from
the sale of lands, passed a word down
the line to leave taxation alone and
wealth proved a civilizer.
“With the banks bulging with cash
and every farmer prosperous, the rep¬
resentatives of Florida did nothing to
disturb the financial progress of the
state. Quite to the contrary, they
made another bid for wealth when
they slashed their incorporation laws
down to a par with the state of Dela¬
ware. This now makes Florida the
most attractive state in the union for
incorporation, as Delaware has state
income, inheritance and annual cor¬
poration franchise taxes, from all of
which Florida corporations will be
free. , ,,
For the first time in many years
the legislature not only left utilities
alone, but the railroads were favored
by a legal grant to issue preferred
stock—intended primarily to encour
age intra . s tate railroad construction.
It has long been a legislative cus
, tom in Florida, as in Georgia and
' other southern states, to make pri
, vately owned public service corpora¬
tions the footballs of selfish politi¬
cal interests, using them as instru
ments with which to appeal to the
prejudices and passions and intoler
ance of the masses, who have been
too easily led by designing politicians.

Advertising In Florida
Georgia is beginning to realize
that if we are to reap our rightful
share of the capital and settlers com¬
ing South, we must advertise our re
sources and let others know what we
have to offer them, The following
timely suggestion comes from the
Brunswick News:
“What do you know about Florida
coming to Georgia and purchasing
farming and grazing lands; being at¬
tracted by the price, the climate and
the soil? We just knew there would
be a reaction against high prices in
Florida pretty soon. Now is Georgia's
opportunity for advertising down in
Florida.”
Undoubtedly, there are thousands
of men going into Florida to buy
lands and invest in other things than
wild-city speculation. Many men go
there looking for cheap farm lands—
farmers from the West and East, as
well as from the South. We heard an
Alabama farmer, on his way back
home after three months in Florida
remark the other day:
“There’s nothing down there (Flor¬
ida) but wild palmetto heads and
flat lands. You could not raise a fight
on that land. The water is terrible
and it takes too much money to even
run a truck farm. I am going back
to Alabama. Why we’ve got “nigger”
lands over there better than anything
in Florida. ’
There are no finer lands in all the
Sou^h than these in Sumter county.
1 We have modern churches and the
best educational institutions; our
water is unsurpassed; the climate is
ideal; our people are of the highest
type of citizenship; intelligent and
lawabiding. Our roads are superior
to most counties and our county and
city governments far removed from
j petty politics.
i most
We can produce any crop in
the world and have a 12 month
growing season. Cattle and hogs need
no steam-heated barns and pastures
are good all the year,
j Our weak point is our failure to
tel! the world. What good is all of
this to us if we refuse—or fail—to
capitalize that which is ours?
Sumter county should advertise her
God-given resources and opportuni¬
ties.—Americus Times-Recorder.
