Sisk, Elberton lawyer and state senator-elect from the 30th dis trict. “The paramount problem con fronting Georgia is a complete re visoin of our present tax system together with a reorganization of the state government with a view to decreasing expenditures,” ke said. “The ad valorem tax for state purposes should be eliminated, and in my judgment a retail sales tax for that purpose, to take effect at the time the federal sales tax laws should be extended, the rates raised in the higher brackets, and the exemptions lowered. The lat. est figures I have show that re tail sales .in. Georgia amount to approximately $629,000,000 and a small levy of this amount would raise an amount equal to our rres ent ad valorem tax revenue, There are many arguments in favor of this which I have not space to set forth, and it has fewer defects than any plan with which. I am familiar. “Political Gesture.” “Thnere should be a systematic reorganization of the state govern ment. The reorganization bill passed in the 1931 session of the general assembly was nothing more than a political gestures and accomplished nothing but a trans position of clerical forces. and eliminated practically nothing.” Mr. Sisk was born Sept. 16, 1881, at Westminister, S. C., and has lived in Hall, Fulton and Wlbert counties in Georgia practically all of his life. He attended John Gibson institue at Bowman and the law school of Mercer univer. sity. He served -az city attorney of Elberton, and was representa tive from Elbert county. in 1931-32.
