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 Berton Braley’s Daily Poems DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
