AT KIWANIS MEET
Declgres Talmadge-Spon
sored Tax Limit Would
Reduce School Funds
SAVANNAH, Ga.—(®P)—Warning
that a Talmadge-sponsored 15-
mill limitation on property taxes
in Georgia would “reduce funds
for schools” was sounded today at
the Georgia convention of Kiwanis
clubs by Dr. Gordon Singleton of
Macon, prominent educator, and
head of the Kiwanis organization
in this state.
Another prominent speaker on
today’s program, Scott M, Loftin
of Jacksonville, former president
of the tAmerica.n Bar association,
urged greater publi¢c interest in
law enforcement and said:
“Unless the American people
destroy crime, crime will destroy
cur government and our people.”
Dr. Singleton said the 15-mill
limitation, which Governor lugene
Talmadge favors adopting as an
amendment to the state constitu
tion in the general election in 1936,
would cut the source of revenue
for public schools in Georgia.
He did not mention the gover
nor, nor did he refer to the chief
executive's approval of the plan
The speaker asked:
“The need of relief for real es
tate tax payers may be great bul
id it greater than the need for
adequate educational facilities for
the children of Georgia?” i
He also raised the question as
to whether real estate owners
could mnot be given relief, and the
funds for education not be cut.

1t was a copy of the now-fam

It was Eaton who, during the
