PHONES 700 AND 741 THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Tax Exemption of Homesteads Up to $5,000 Would Bring Loss of $21,000,000 to State BY JACK BATES (Associated Press Staff Writer) ATLANTA — (® — Tax exemp tion of homesteads wvalued up to $5,000 would result in an approxi mate loss of $21.000,000 in annual revenues in Georgia. The state legislature, which con venes Monday, is faced with a loud }clamor for tax relief on property, and many tax reform advocates |have turned to homestead exemp tion for a solution. E. D. Rivers, of Lakeland, speak er of the house, has shaped a de finite tax reform program propos ing two drastic revisions—exemp tion of “owneroccupied” homes up to $5,000 ang personalty up to §SOO and a 5 per cent general retail sales tax to replace lost revenues. He proposes creation of a state equalization fund to prorate funds back to the counties and munici palities whose digests would be de pleated under the exemption mea sure, : Here is what the home exemp tion (not eonfined to owner occup ied homes) seemably would do: i 1 85 1-2 per cent of the farms (house and land) woulg be exempt. 87 per cent of tpe homes in the cities would be exempt. 51 per cent of the hemes and business property in the cities would be exempt. This percentage was based on the total valuation of homes and business property in the cities and does not lower the percentage on city homes when considered alone, ‘ 14 1-2 per cent of the farms would be taxable, and 13 per cent of the city homes would be tax able. These percentages were averaged from figures contained in letters from tax collectors in the counties, and estimateés based on valuations compiled in 18 counties, represent ing manufacturing centers, farm ing centers and business centers, The counties are Appling, Baldwin, Bibb, Carroll, Clayton, Cobb, Crawford, Floyd, Jackson, Lowndes, Musco gee, Paulding, Spalding, Talbot, Treutlen, Ware, Webster and Wil kinson. - The loss of approximately $21,- 000,000 would be that much revenue cut off from the state, counties, school districts and cities in Geor gia. The state now levies a tax, of four mills on propertv—homes and business property in the cities and farm property. The state's total tax digest was $853,813,010, Of this farm land, etc.,, was returned at $230,229,046, and city property was placed at $396,234,736. It was estimated the state would lose in the neighborhood of §s3,- 000,000 annually under homestead exemption, which represents about one-seventh of the total loss over the state 'of approximately §21,- 000,000. The state’s revenues from ad wvalorem tax was figured at Railroad Schedules ' SEABOARD AIRLINE RY. Arrival and Departure of Trains Athens, Ga.

Companion mea sures to further reorganize the state’s revenue system includeq inj his proposal are: i | An ad valorem tax with the “pro per maximum of limitations” on all propérty except homes. A ‘“‘property graduated” income tax on all citizens whose incomes are above those of the average citi zen. “Proper” franchise and inheri tance taxes, His legislation calendar contains another drastic proposal, that of gtate assumption of the support and maintenance of schools in their en tirety. It carries also measures to provide free school books in the public gchools, and an old age pen sion providing S3O a month to eli gible pensioners. The 1983 legislature saw a sales tax drive defeated, anq strong op position is indicated to a like move ment this time, ¥or one, Ellis G. Arnall, of Coweta, speaker pro tem, has bitterly attacked this phase of taxation, and also denounced ad vocates, claiming it would trans fer taxes from the wealthy to the backs of the poor. Other legislators have announc ed for and against the sales tax. Governor Eugene Talmadge has committed himself as against in rreasing the tax burden, but he has not make his position known rela tive to a tax reform movement. If the homestead exemption pro posal retains the owner-occupied clause, it was estimated the loss would be reduced somewhat. State capitol authorities, however, said it was impossible to determine readi ly how many homes are rented and how many ocecupied by the owners. Collins Declares School Bus Costs - Too High in State ATLANTA, Ga.—(&)—Reporting that transportation of school chil dren in Georgia last year cost $1,706,7568.34, Dr. M. D. Collins, state superintendent of schools, said today that this service is “costing too much in some coun ties.” “I am, of course, in favor of transportation of school children, and it has become necessary in Georgia because of the consolida tion of schools, especially in rural areas,” he said. “However, transportation ser wvice should be rendered economi cally, and should not invelve too great a drain on the school budgets of the various districts.” The superintendent explained that under the consolidation ot schools in most of the counties of the. :{ﬁwf, school bus service had become 4 necessity, because the consolidations often left large areas without schools. The state department of educa tion today completed a survey of school bus service costs. It show vd that only Cherokee county, in the mountainous section of north west- Georgia, provides no school bus service. School busses in the school year July 1, 1933, to June 30, 1934, trans ported 124,696 students. The aver age daily load was 55, the aver age daily mileage per bus was 31, the number of busses 2,288, the average yearly cost per bus $586, and the average yearly cost per child $10.48, : Figures recently gathered by the state auditor for information of Governor Eugene Talmadge show ed that taxes amounting to $15,- 332,000 were levied for support of common schools in Geeorgia. Detailed figures on school bus service for the various counties showed the following figures in some of the larger counties: Number of busses: Bibb 10; Bulloch 49; Chatham 24; Clarke §; Crisp 7; DeKalb 17; Dougherty 5; Colquitt 27; Fulton 30; Glynn 8; Hart 31; Laurens 50; Lowndes 18; Muscogee 6; Richmond 20; Spalding 10; Sumter 21; Thomas 245 Tift 17, Ware 17. - The tctal yearly cost, and the average yearly cost per bus in these counties, respectively, fol low: Bibb, $13,330, $1,333; Bulloch, $22,014, $449; Chatham, $13,019, $542; Clarke, $4,747, $593; Colquitt, $12,299, $455; Crisp, $2,680, $382; DeKalb, $9,094, $534; Dougherty, $6,417, $1,283; Fulton, $37,999, 351.- 266; Glynn, $5,463, $682; Hart, $5,649, $182; Laurens, $23,023, $460; Lowndes, $10,824, $601; Muscogce, $5,484, $914; Richmond, $19.109, $955; Spalding, $6,840, $684; Sum ter, $13,831, $658; Thomas, $9,149, $381; Tift, $11,395, $670; Ware, $5,894, $346. b Average daily mileage, in . the same counties: Bibb, 427; Bulloch, 1,5600; Chat ham, 643; Clarke, 343; Colquitt, 1,002; Crisp, 75; DeKalb, 559; Dougherty, 146; Fulton, 963; Glynn, 304; Hart, 630; Laurens, 100; Lowndes, 590; Muscogee, 113; Richmond, 612; Spalding, 392; Sumter, 1,061; Thomas, 605; Tift, 785; ‘Ware,: 834, Proposed Legislation Prepared by Association Of Mayors Now Ready ATLANTA — () . Legislation seeking exemption of municipali ties from the state automobile tag, gasoline, and kerosene taxes, and requiring the state highway de partment to maintain streets which its routes travers® in passing through cities, was ready today for introduction when the general as sembly convenes next. week. The bills are indorség by the Georgia Mayors’ Association. Mayor James L. Key, as presi dent of that organization, has re ceived texts of the proposed mea sures as drafted by Shelby Myrick, city attorney of Savannabh., = In New York with Paul Harrison NEW YORK — All around the town: Maybe, after all, we are getting back to something like the good old days. In the window of a drug store conducted by a Mr. Miller is a sign that says: “No luncheons, alarm clocks or tobac co. We pragtice pharmacy.” i Also, down on the Bowery at Chatham Square, Mr. R. Grillo still advertises: “Black Eyes Made Natural.” And he says that busi ness is better than it has been for years. Broadwaymen, Harlemites, chorus girls—all sorts of . people find their way to the barber shop where Grillo works. He treats the, injured eyes to reduce swelling, then paints the discolored parts with a secret Pre paration so that they don’t show. The charge is a dollar, and some times he gets generous tips. Never asks a patient how a black eye was acquired but the vietim in variably volunteers some sort of story. Business is always good on Christmas and New Year's morn ings, but St. Patrick’s Day it the best. A 7 Turnover Without Apples If New Yorkers suffer more than other people from indiges tion—and I'm sure they do—it's because of the outrageous pace at which they they are rushed through their luncheons. Even the French restaurants, whose proprie tors love to linger over their own meals, have approximatey the tempo of a Ford factory. One chain advertises “A Meal a Minute” and seems proud of it. Several places dare to prohibit smoking in the hope that patrons will hurry outside for a cigaret. Thousands deliberately provide physical discomfort in the form of hard, straight chairs which dis- Coum'ge any sort of relaxation. Being an inveterate reader diner myself, T get a lot of black looks from waiters as I linger over coffee, and an afternoon paper. One proprietor confessed the other day that his waiters are trained to -gcatter dishes around in such a way that patrons are unable to find space for reading: ‘“This is what we call a ‘fast house’,” he ex ‘plained. “Get ‘em in and out in a hurry, to make room for more. Quick turnover—that's the big se cret of American industry.” Swank Fish Tanks A couple of the swanKkier stores are offering, at a good many dol lars, special) .travelibg cases for pet fish. They look like elegant overnight cases but contain glass tanks. Also special compartments for food, nets, thermometers and what ever other accessories are re quired. The other day 1 discovered something equally novel in the way of furniture. This was a combina tion chair and dog house. You sit in the chair, and Poochy-woochy crouches below in the Kkeniiel, peering out between your ankles. 1 do not know what useful purpose is served by all this, unless it is to assuage the feelings of dogs that ar always being kicked out of chairs. Diplomatic Sales Talk A pitchman stood before Mins ky's burlesque theater the other day and offered wire pubbles for sale. Also an amusing, if fictitious, set of endorsements. “Listen, folks, do you wanna know what they do after those big dinners down at the White House? Do you wanna know what they do after when all them notables, sgme of ‘em for eigners and can't talk English, want to sit around in a sociable way Il tell ya, folks; - they bring out sets of Original Arabian Ring Puzzles, an’ sometimes they work on ‘em all evening. The very same puzzle, folks, that I am now offering you for fi’ cents each, or three for a dime. . . .” Cross-Word Rage Again This town, incidentally, is un der the scorge of the cross-word puzzle craze of there being a good deal of prize money involved in a current cintest. It got so out of hand that libraries had to with draw from the reading rooms all dictionaries, encyclopedias and thesauri. People were forming lines to look up difficult words, and arguing loudly about the length of each one's turn. Also they began to tear whole pages out of dictionaries so that other contestants would fail to find the words they sought. Legitimate re searches in scholarly pursuitg didn’'t save a chance?\ The contest also has brought professionalism to eross-word puz zle solving. There are experts who will work a whole puzzle for a dol lar, or fill in a difficult word for 25 cents. Some of them a»c¢ doing quite well at it. Women’s Association Reports 50% Decrease In Lynchings in 1934 ATLANTA—(®)—The association of southern women for the pre vention of lynching received a re port Thursday that there were 50 per cent fewer lynchings in 1934 than the year previous. Representatives of the associa tion in 13 southern states, who gathered here to study- further ac tivities to prevent lynchings, were informed there were 55 prevented lynchings last year. Forty-five of these occurred in the territory of the association, The report was contalned in the association’s official bulletin. Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames, of De catur, Ga., executive director of the association, explained that the purpose of the council was to agree on further methods of pre vention and to restate the associ. ation’s policy of education. NEWTON ELECTED ALTANTA .—(P—Oscar Newton, chairman of the hoard and Treserve agent for the Sixth District Fed eral Reserve Bank here, Thursday was elected governor of the bank to succeed the late Eugne R. Black, R FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1935, TALMADGE PREDICTS SIATE WILL BE CUT OF RED IN TWO YEARS Governor Still Chiefly In. terested in Finances of Ceorgia ATLANTA — ) — Governgr Eugene.Talmadge today said Geor. gia will be “out of the red” in two more years. Taxation and liquor havé ... sumed a prominent place on e new legislative calendar, but tpe governor indicated he was intep. ested chiefly in the state’s finay. ces. Apparently he will place (fipst emphasis on adoption of his five. point campaign platform when the general assembly convens Mop. day. £ - “I'm going to carry sut my crazy campaign platform, and pay the state out of debt in two more vears,” he said, adding that he had .no administration measures othor ‘than this, ' He said the state was in the “best financial condition ever” and that there was “no excuse for a ‘government to go into debt.” His campaign promise means the state must pay up its floating in debtedness of $4,068,108.25. This represents the amount owed to schools, elcemosynary institutions, state prison farm at Milledgeville, the Confederate pension fund and the University system. The debt acerued over a period of four vears—l92B-31. Counting the full debt, the state owes $8,224,108, including the float ing debt, The remainder—§4,ls6, - 000—is its bonded indebtedness, which is retired by annual pay ments, 'the final payment to be made in 1959, State Auditor Tom Wisdom said the bonded indebtedness represent ed for the most part the western and Atlantic railroad bonds. Some of them were brought over under the 1877 constitution. Others, he said, were dated back to the Car petbagger days. oOld unpaid appropriations to the schools total $2,756,183. and the Confederate pensioners are due $551,600.40. wgovernor Talmadg® expects to meet part of this last indebtedness with $2,000,000 of the highway de partment funds which he proposes to divert. This was one of the points in his campaign program. The others were: Creation of the office of lieutenant governor; a four-year term for governor; leg islative approval of his $3 auto tag, ouster of the old public servics commission. } “There is no excuse for a state to. go into debt,” Governor Tal madge said. ‘“My plan has always been, if you haven’t got it, don’t spend it; spend what you've got and then quit,” . He referred to his five and one ‘half years as commissioner of agri culirue, during which he saig he always came under his appropria tions, State financial experts reported recently that the state of Georgia had ended the year 1934 with the greatest cash balance in its hi5t0ry—=56,697,860.85. t0ry—=56,697,860.85. It compared with a figure of $3,548,042.82 at the end of 1933. The governor said ‘the big red pencil’” was responsible. The red pencil is his budget law, permit= ting him to whit’.e down costs. i e _—_——"-—_..M_._______ﬂ_,,___..____—- NICHOLSON NEWS getp aa e R e M BY J. R. BARNETT NICHOLSON—Mrs. J.
