Georgia our State, in common with the rest of us, is in debt.
Below is our present State financial situation:
Our school teachers are unpaid.
Our asylum for the Insane at Milledgeville has not re
ceived the money promised, and the jauls in Georgia have
hundreds of unfortunates, who v have been adjudged in
sane, but cannot be received in the State Ayslum for the
Insane at Milledgeville, because of lack of funds.
Our tubercular sanitarium at Alto has not receive^ the
money promised, and cannot receive unfortunate patients
who ought to be there.
Our State schools have not received their appropriations
antj many must close down for part of the coming year.
The various branches of the University have not received
the money appropriated to them. They have borrowed
against these unpaid appropriations to the limit that the
banks will lend. These branches are now commencing
to be unable to pay the teachers the salaries due them.
Our own Confederate' heroes are in want because the
• c pensions promised them have not been paid.
Some State institutions 1 have Jcept going by borrowing against
the money which the State of Georgia promised but has not paid.
These institutions have borrowed all they can.
A collapse of their work is.upon us, because the State (and
YOU and I and OTHER CITIZENS are the State) has faded to
pay to them what was appropriated.
This condition cannot continue.

i Georgia can and must pay these obligations,
i BUT HOW?
At present the deficit of the State is at least $6,000,000.
Where and how are we to get the money to wipe out this deficit?
Russell suggested that it be secured by selling more W. & A.
warrants, but the rental of the W. & A. road is already sold to
1936. To discount enough more warrants to pay the present
deficit, would mean to discount at least one-half of the face of tha
rentals. •- ' t
Ask any bank about this. w <
Surely there is some better way than borrowing at a discount
of fifty per cent. /
Then Russell suggested that some of the State’s property be
sold, but the Constitution of the State of Georgia provides that
the proceeds from the sale of any State property MUST be ap
plied to the bonded debt, and therefore could not be used to pay
any floating debts.
When Russell had to abandtm these plans, he gave up trying
to solve the problem.
WE MUST NOT mOL OLTISEM. YES!
The State’s promised appropriations have exceeded our tax
collections.
We are faced with the problem of temporarily diverting a part
of the State’s income from the use that it has been put to, to pay
the just, legal and moral obligations of the State of Georgia,
on BA VE MORE TAXES
r In very recent years, Georgia has received new and additional
revenues from the sale, by the State, of automobile tags. By
using, temporarily, the revenue received from the sale of auto
mobile tags, LEAVING the gasoline tax for road building pur
poses, we can pay off the pressing and overdue debts of Georgia.
This done, our debt is paid—our obligations discharged—
and the income from the sale, by the State, of automobile tags,
can be restored to the Department which has heretofore used it.
WE ALL BELIEVE in good roads, and want good roads for
Georgians, but Georgians would be ashamed to build roads at the
expense of the unpaid school teachers, unpaid Confederate Vet
erans, and its unfortunate sufferers at the State Insane Asylum;
at the tubercular sanitarium, and other unpaid State institutions.
Even with this temporary diversion of the automobile tag sale
fund, the Highway Department will still have fifteen million dol
lars, with which to build good roads. ,
EVERY DOLLAR FROM THE U. S. GOVERMENT
WOULD BE MATCHED WITH AMPLE FUNDS

fi ATE VETERANS, AND OTHER STATE INSTITU

Carswell promises to pay the past due debts of the State*
through the temporary use of the automobile tag sales fund, with
out any increase in taxes. !
