GOVERNOR BARS ANY NEW TAXES TO MEET SLUMP Asserts State Can Carry on Through Fiscal Year by Strict Economy in All Departments. Atlanta, March 24—Gov. Tal- madge said Moday that he would not condone any new taxes in Georgia to meet the great slump in state revenue.

He said that he would not approve any in creased expenditures for an ex pansion of services. Warned by State Auditor B. E. Thrasher Jr., that the present shrinkage in state gasoline taxes indicates a loss of $7,00,000 dur ing the present year, the Governor said that the economies he had al ready put into effect will help save the situation. “I believe that we can carry on the operations of the state’s neces sary functions, common schools, old-age pensions, highway main tenance, higher ’education, health and hospitals without any new taxes,” he said. The Chief Executive signed a check for $2,666,790 to pay coun ty highway certificates that will become due on March 25. State Auditor Thrasher said that this payment will leave $8,000,000 still due on the county refunding debt of $26,666,000, which the state assumed in 1935 . The balance amounts to three annual payments and would have been paid up in full in 1945, but the legislature waived three pay ments during the Rivers admin istration and discounted the war rants so that they will become pay- ablein 1946, 1947 and 1948. “Keep in mind »that you can lighten the future tax burden of our people in these times when every effort will be concentrated in bringing victory, by watching ev SHOWS FOR WEEK AT DEAN THEATRE Sun. & Mon.: Preserving all the charm and artistic integrity of the „ ! stage production, 20th Century Fox company and returned to Tay- . e taken he Broadway hit, noum y in 193 °- I “Rememberthe .Day”, and trans 1931 Mr. Parr organized a| late( j j t j n t 0 the stirring dramatic try co-operative, which at the The picture is a personal tri- nning covered the sale of poul- umph f or lovely Claudette Colbert, products of approximately! wh0 proves once again that she is ty-five farmers, located in the tops as dramatic actress.
