Slaton As
Governor
Cut Taxes
Senator Harris is making stren
uous efforts to divert attention
from his Senatorial record, which
is perfectly natural, considering
how indefensible it is. He makes
the statement that during my serv
ice as Governor of Georgia I did
nothing constructive. He states
that since I was Governor I have
been a “lobbyist” against appro
priations for the common schools
and Confederate pensions.
1 have exercised the right to ap
pear before Legislative committees
several times, as a citizen, to pre
sent my views against certain tax
proposals that were dangerous to
land owners, and against proposals
to saddle the state with a bonded
debt of hundreds of millions. If
Senator Harris, in Washington, had
been as much concerned with gov
ernmental economy as Slaton has
been in Georgia, the country today
would be infinitely better off.
To say that I am not in sympa
thy with the common schools and
education is both false and prepos
terous. It is so preposterous that
nobody but Senator Harris would
eay a thing so foolish. My father
before me spent his life as an edu
cator. My only brother has been a
teacher and educator since lie grad
uated. One of my sisters has been
a teacher for many years. Through
out my public career I have stead-
• fastly advocated better common
Bchoale, better pay for teachers,
and better provision for the cduca-
ti-.nr.l ir.ctitutior.3 of the State.
During m.v service as Governor,
the appropriations made for the
common schools were paid in full,
and paid promptly. The appropria
tions made for Confederate veter
ans and widows were paid in full,
a»d paid promptly.
During my service as Governor,
the tax rate of the State was re
duced twice, which was the only
time it had been reduced since the
five mill limit was put in the Con
stitution of Georgia. The bonds of
the State, issued to retire outstand
ing bonds, were sold at the best
rate of interest the State has ever
received, under similar conditions.
The lease of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, owned by the
State, and conservatively estimated
to be worth twenty-five million
dollars, was approaching expira
tion. The railroad which had it
under lease applied to the Secre
tary of State for a charter to build
a parallel line. Under the then
existing law, the Secretary of State
had no authority to refuse to issue
the charter. Had It been issued,
r.n:l had the, parallel line been
fea'lt. the Western and Atlantic
r.-.ilread would have been rendered
practically worthless.
As Governor of tJcorgia, in that
situation, it was my duty to excr
ete the utmost authority vested in
me to protect the State’s property.
I promptly informed the President
of the railroad that if the appli
cation were not withdrawn. I would
immediately call the Legislature in
special session to enact whatever
measures might b? necessary to
prevent the paralleling of the
Western and Atlantic. The appli
cation was withdrawn: the charter
was not issued; the Western and
Atlantic a short time later was
leased for a period of fifty years
more: and at the end of the lease
its value will far exceed what it is
today,
I have never been given to boast
ing of my record as Governor, in
which respect there is a sharp con
trast between myself and Senator
Harris, who never opens his mouth
without boasting about himself.
But there arc many things in that
record of which I am proud, and
not one thing of which I am
ashamed.
In criticising the record of Sen
ator Harria, I have been specific.
In defending that record Senator
Harris has taken refuge in vague
generalities, such as “gross mis
representation.” In criticising my
record, he is equally vague and in
definite. If there is anything spe
cific in my-record that he does not
. approve, or thinks the people do
not approve, let him call it by name,
