NO CONSTRUCTIVE TAX LEGISLATION
Five weeks have passed of the called or extra
s'ersidn of the legislature without the passage of any
constructive tax legislation. Governor Walker has
adopted every available plan through which to
bring the waring factions to a conclusion without
success., He has done his part and he has kept his
campaign pledges and declarations made to the pub
lic during the session of the legislature. The burden
of the failure of the legislature to pass a tax mea-
( sure rests upon the members of that body. The peo-
pie 'will hold them responsible for their bickering and
delay and there will yet be a day of reckoning when
they return to their respective homes. Such clamor
ing over technicalities as has been carried on by the
members during the past five weeks has aroused
the people of this state into a frame of mind from
which they will not soon become reconciled.
Wednesday the. legislature will be entering into
the sixth week. Christmas and the new year will
soon be here. Unless there is some constructive tax
' legislation passed before the first of the new year,
the members should adjourn the session and return
to their homes and refund the pay they ' have been
drn wing from the state during the extra session.
.... From appearances there seems to be a great deal
r . of politics sprouting and it is a case of delaying this
... or that measure in order to help some one or to hurt
'■ some other who may be a candidate for some' state
v office. Such cheap politics as seems to be on the
horizon ft the legislature should be the means of
i ‘ defeating any man or set of men who may engage in
such political practices.
’ Gentlemen of the Legislature: It is your duty to
** yourselves and to your state to agree upon some
measure which will meet the requirements for the
maintenance of the state and its various departments
o —adjourn and return to your homes . Such delays
v* and clap-trap politics will not elect any member to
“ office nor will it popularize any member with the
masses of the people of this state.
Ik t It is time to act and it is time for the representa-
fives to agree upon a tax measure which is demand
ed of them by the people of Georgia.
ADVERTISING AS AN INVESTMENT
- Recent years has developed practically every
- .line of. business and merchants to become advertisers
) of their wares in the newspapers. The merchants
' who do not advertise are the merchants who do not
- pros per. Survey your communities and consult your
local newspapers and you will find that the prosper
ous merchants are the ones who are liberal adver
tisers;
r O The Buchanan Tribune has a t.mely editorial on
the merchant who does not advertise. It says:
■■ The fellow who pays the advertising bill is
the fellow who doesn’t advertise. He pays just
as surely and certainly as if he went to the cash
drawer and took the m oney out The only dif- <
; ference is that his customers’ dollars instead of
getting into the cash drawer pass right by him
V and enter the cash drawer of the advertiser. He
' is paying for the other fellows’ advertising, but
}"• is not being benefitted by it Many non-adver-
''‘tisers have often wondered who pays the large
’^ advertising bills of their competitors, not real-
j' ixing that they themselves are paying most
!\ dearly for it
fc Why not stop paying the advertising b'll of
‘ '• your competitor and let some other fellow start
P ; phying for your advertising through the loss of
1 bowners? Put the customers' dollars into your
store with advertising. For advertising is like a
.magnet—the stronger it is the harder it pulls.
^ Quite true—the merchant who does not advertise
l-ays for the other fellow's advertising in the-loss of
KtAtje. In this day and time, the buying public con
sult the nsewpapers before shopping in the stores;
investing in real estate and before selecting a bank
with which to do business. It is the advertiser who
places his name and business before the public who
receives the benefits. The unknown merchant is
the one who never advertises and in the struggle for
business he is thrown for great losses by his com
petitor who believes in advertising and telling the
public what he has to offer and the prices of the
goods.
... If you are not an advertiser, try it on a small scale;
feci your way and it will not he long until you will
become convinced that your business cannot grow
and expand without the proper amount of advertis
ing. It is an investment and not an expense; you
should credit your business with the dividend* from
advertising just as you would dividends you receive
from investments in bank stock or any other dividend
paying investment. Advertising is the life of busi
ness and the firm, corporation or individual who
-underial.es to conduct s business without properly
and judiciously advertising will be better off to sell
