CARSWELL URGES PLAN
TO PAY SCHOOL TEACHERS.
VETERANS, INSTITUTIONS
Atlanta, Aug 9.—It is evident that
the people of Georgia are now aroused
and interested in the one issue in t' e
campaign for the governorship. Per
sonalities will play no part. All can
didates admit that there exists a defi
cit of five millions of dollars and this
is a debt due the public schools, the
Confederate veterans, 'the insane asy
lum, and our institutions of learning.
Every candidate concedes that there
must be found a remedy for this situ
ation. n
In last Sunday’s press, George Cars
well stated his remedy clearly and
definitely. Everybody understands it.
He proposes to divert for a single
year the tag tax, approximately five
millions of dollars, and wipe out this
deficit. It can be done in no other way
except to increase taxes, cut appro
priations for the above causes and in
stitutions or repudiate this honest
remedy, what will happen the scholas
tic year of 1930-31. Cripple road
building for one yeart Is the existing
condition of all these boys and girls in
Georgia who will be crippted for life
for lack of school opportunities less
pitiable and deplorable than a crip
pled road system for a single year?
The people of Georgia will under
stand that the things referred to are
higher and holier and more sacred
than all the roads that lead to all the
cities in America.
Mr. Holder says that once we divert
the fund, it will stay dlverted.Let him
read Carswell’s statement. He propos
ed that the very bill that diverts it
shall carry with it a section that re
stores it at the end of a single year.
The opponents of Mr. Carswell may
dodge and flounder, they may try to
be-cloud the issue but this one vital
question will be kept before the peo
ple of Georgia until the fight is won
for the school children of the state,
our Confederate veterans, our afflict
ed citizens at Milledgeville, and bur
whose songs she had not heard.

will consolidate and what the saving

says, increase the borrowing power of

the governor borrowed the five mil
lion dollars, we would still owe it.
Mr. Perry says to sell the useless
property owned by the state. Mr. Per
ry has for a number of years been
chairman of the Public Service 'Com
mission, and is a member of the bar.
He ought to know that the constitd'
tion has a mandatary provision that
the proceeds of such properties shall
be applied to the bonded indebtedness
of the state. In another statement, he
says take the tag tax or the gas tax.
It’s “tweedle-dum, tweedle-dee.” We
say the tag tax.
Mr. Holder offers his remedy. He
says keep appropriations down. Does
he mean, to decrease the appropria
tions and if so, he should say so, and
say'which one. He further says “re
adjust” the income and sales tax. To
readjust a thing gets you no where
unless you readjust ,up or down. A re
adjustment down would increase the
deifeit, readjustment up means in
creased taxes. Mr. Holder . further
says, tax intangibles. Mr. Holder serv

GEORGIA’S POPULATION
The newspapers reported this week
that Georgia’s population had de
creased slightly in the past ten years.
If this statement is erroneous we do
know that there has been a marked
reduction in our farm population.
Naturally, thoughtful Georgians will
wonder WHY.
The answer seems to be perfectly
obvious. The vocation of farming, in
which a large part of the people are
engaged, has not been profitable.
Again the question _ WHY emerges
from one’s thinking. This time it
not so-easy to answer. Perhaps there
are many reasons. The average edi-
taorial writer, or political' speaker, is
likely to blame the tariff, the presi
dent, the trusts or the chain stores.
Perhaps they are at fault. But what
about education?
Farming is a complicated business.
It must be studied. Yet few boys in
Georgia, comparatively speaking,
have that opportunity. Years ago
this was impossible cn account of the
one-room school. N.ow we have con
solidated schools. They have been
heralded by everyone as a great bless
ing—and they are. Yet these very
consolidated schools will, in time, to
tally depopulate their respective c.is-
tricts unless some place in their cur
riculum they make provision for
teaching boys and girls to live in '•he
district in which the school is located.
When few people went to secondary
schools it mattered little what was
taught, but now that the masses are
getting a high school education the
curriculum is closely related to prob
lems of public welfare.
When Georgia’s consolidated schools
prepare boys and girls, and men and
women for the environment in which
they live agriculture will have a place
in the curriculum.
When this is done farming will be
more prospeious and Georgia’s rural
population more stable.

Save First
The reason some people do not
save is because they plan to save
what is “left over” at the end of the
week.
And usually there is nothing left.
It is human nature to spend what
is “in the pocket”.
But if part of our earnings are
put away in the bank,-we can easily
adjust ourselves to get along with
what is left.
Make it rule to save first and
spend afterwards.
