This is an authority. 1 Mere figures meall little comparisons are made. To select Florida because the I ourselves let’s take Georgia Florida for comparative purposes. Georgians seem to think that tops the ranks in wealth and gress while his native State near the bottom. Here’s the value of all farm ducts in 1900: !

The ASSESSED valuation all property in the two States in was: Georgia $1,213,385,000 Florida 475,197,000 From the United States Bu*eau for 1922 (latest available formation) we find that the «. true value of all property” was: Georgia ...... $3,896,759,000 Florida 2,440,491,000 Savings deposits in all of the in the two States in 1924 were: Georgia 88.482.000 Florida 83.038.000 Lasting wealth, the foundation permanent prosperity, comes from two principal sources: First, the farm, and second from manufactured products. The aggregate value of all of the crops and live stock in the two States are given at Georgia $363,000,’000 Florida 106,000,000 For the value of manufactured products in the South, the Manufac tures’ Record goes to Census reau figures for the year 1923. These figures do not include the value of manufactured products from estab lishments having an annual tion value u{ ]esa than $5 000 A comparison of the two states follows: Georgia 604,499,555 Florida 188,258,384 Much has been said about the rapid building of highways in Florida, a comparison of the two States, for approximate highway expenditures in 1924 shows: 12 , 000,000 k or a ‘ 13,422,000 ,n the mlnds of many Florida ,s the land where every one has mone whiIe ,n Geor * ,a aI1 of us are t,roke ’' and yet when we look for the num- I b, ' r of mot,,r vehicles owned in thp two Statps we find Florida has ,,nly about 12,000 more than Georgia. The figures for 1924 are: Georgia 209,300 Florida 221,234 In railroad main line trackage we find about 2,000 more miles in Geor gia than Florida. The actual figures for 1924 in miles are: Georgia ...... 7,193 ! Florida 5,284 Let’s go back to the banks again. In 1924 the aggregate resources of j all the banks in the two States show this comparison: Georgia $458,040,000 Florida 346,763,000 j Florida has had 173 bond issues for schools, roads, etc., whereas Georgia has had only 43 in the same period of time. The total amount of bonds issued by the two states are: Georgia $12,000,000 Florida 38,426,810 In other words, Florida's bonded indebtedness is nearly five times) as great as Georgia, and our true val nation of property is more than a billion dollars in excess of Florida, Our income from manufactured pro ducts is $260,000,000 in excess of hers; from our farms we receive $280,000,000 more than Florida. What a story we have to tell the world. The great trouble is that we do KNOW our own State. Our people have spent too fast, and themselves in debt, have failed j pull up and economize for awhile. j TJie income is all ight, we are living beyond our means. We've ed to rid ourselves of some of “high and mighty airs” we put on 1918 and 1919. Today there is an optimistic sage coming from yevery point South Georgia.

In no other large business is so great an amount of capital risked for so small a return as in railroad transportation.* i The new money put into a railroad, therefore, must be profitably employed, either in in¬ creasing capacity for service or in effecting economies of operation. The Southern, never yet able to control all the new capital its management would be I pleased to invest, necessarily has to give preference to productive improvements, such as yards, shops, engines, cars and tracks. But it is because it has devoted its resources to necessities—rather than non-productive improvements like monumental passenger stations—that the Southern has been able to keep its service abreast of the demands of the territory it serves. i ■Ts ourX> * by Company The the net Southern income Railway earned KUI 4$ thO on ttt property ,y in vest me nt has averaged only 3 72'%y per annum during the last ten yeara.
