It Is especially desired that the various pastors of the city, representatives o' th-, Woman's club and other civic or- eanliatlons come to discuss questions relattr.g to the public health of the cnaiuiuuity. Dr. Applewhite's report shows that tor the year 1920 the following cases of communicable diseases were report ed (or Clarke county: Influenza. 325; smallpox. 19; diphtheria, 22; chicken- pox. 8. tuberculosis, 6: mumps, 3; rnoasle:,, 2; typhoid fever, 32; scarlet fever. 54; whooping cough, 2. of husinosH-lIko method?/ I expect to use the influence of the veto power,” lie said, “to prevent the legislature making appropriation] which the stale treasury esnnot pay: and I expect to see to It. aa far, as I can. IBat no-|onger shall. the Insti tutions of fhe state be allowed to hawk the credit nf the state about the financial circles of Atlanta and New York, attempting 10 obtain money op appropriations. In advance, which cannot be met In payment when they are due." While Mr. Hardwick In this connec tion did not specify the transactions lo which he referred. It Is almost ob vious that It was a roference to the discounting In January of school war rants In anticipation of rollictlon In the fall of the year of taxo? with which to pay a four and a half mil lion dollars appropriation for common reboots, for when thc last transaction >if this kind matured It was necessity to borrow certain funds to order to meet payment, and that loan, liutcad "f being Inndt’ on current Income, was again an anticipation of money hoped io come Into the treasury. This form of "hawking securities" hue hoen go ing on ever rlnco the method of dis counting advance school warrants was authorized hv thc legislature some' years ago. The burden or ll. however, iins been automatically Increased by the arbitrary decree of the Hgisleturo Hist one-half of the state's total In- 1 ome shall bo scl aside every year for use by the common schools, and prac tically all the other half of Its fn- coino would be wholly obsnrbod by pensions, which means nil other ap propriations aro speculative In the matter of when anil how tlrey can he paid. * **i*l In his discussion of the subject of laxsllon whlc!| Is one uppermost In tho minds of the people at this time, Mr Hardwick said: •'ll Is not my Intention to Increare taxes. If it evil possibly be avoided, ; nd the stale government maintained. Thore is. cvervwh'rrc, a general dls- po«Hlon to relieve business of some of the tax burden It haa boen forced to carrv during the war. and to as- rtit it thereby In paailng through tho present difficult period. Personally. I am In favor of the principle of taxes on Incomes by both the state and the nntlcn. but It would be unwire to con sider a state Income tax In ilmoa like theac. The present federal Inoomo tax If still hampered with numerous defects, and It will always be un popular until it Is revised so as to make a chirp difference In the- pro portion of tax between idle capital uni productive capital, and between Income from property and Income from labor, either physical or mental. "These Improvements In the In come tax law have already been ms do iu England, and It la nisilom to follow 1»n examnto of older roun- Irlea In such matters.” Mr. Hardwick also made .nascing reference to the fact that It -hall b» his miruose to bring onto the tax hooks of the state the vast "Intangi ble properties" la Georgia which are not now hearing tbelr part of the etato burden, hut bo did not outline sny plan for accomplishing that.
