state may be in a chaotic ('undi-l
tion. ‘
“Those who advocate the amend- '
ment have made no :«tll:g’estion,!
so far as I know, as to how pro- '
_vision is to be made to takg uu‘i-;
of the reduction of the income for |
the purpose of running the state, |
'c: counties and the cities; and |
3 tion of a morg objectionable |
kind may be placed upon the peo- |
ple, and this would be unfortu- |
nate. “It seems that seven stulesi
~—Michigan, Washington, West |
Virginia, New Mexico, Oklahoma |
and Ohio — have adopted thisg !
amendment or one similar to this!
one; and that these states havel
had to resort to the sales tux,[
along with other tax gystems. 1
Before we adopt this amendment
we should decide whether \\'e{
would be willing to submit to the |
sales tax, and other forms of tax- I
ation. i

'~ “home ownership The director of |
finances of the city of l)aytun.l
Ohio, (one of the states which
‘have adorted the limitation) says, |
‘#Phe average s small home owner
has rceeived no kenefit in Ohio
‘from tax limitation laws. His real
. estate was reduced upproximutclyl
sls to S2O per year, and he is|
now paying from S3O to S4O in a|
. sales tax.’ Bluefield, West Vir-|
tginia, (another state which has
“adopted the limitation law) gaved
~ $25,000 on their fire department,
. ‘but their fire insurance was in
_ ereased by SIOO,OOO, which was a |
. ‘mot loss of $75,000.” |
~Mayor Hunter cited the losses in i
. revenue which the city of Elber
~ ton will suffer if the amendment |
js ‘adopted, saying, ‘‘certainly such
'@ loss could only mean the clos
ing of our schools for a larg, part
ot the year, leaving our childrenl
to roam the streets at will until
~they fill our jails, provided we
‘have enough mony, to maintain
_uthe jails. Necessarily, our high
~gehools will be removed froix the
accredited list and the children
~ leaving them to enter college will'
~ fail to receive credit for the work
_done, their college training perio(l|
‘being increased at least a year |
thereby.”

. Mayor Hunter said the city's
_budget for police and fire pmte(:-l
_tion could, of course, be reduced
#but only .at the cost of increasiig |
vthe hazards to life and proverty,
ifirough lack of control and proper
;:?deg of our citizens and their
x‘mem We could reduce our |
%’ wmen and fire-fighting equip- |
ment with a consequent increase

_ents of the prorosed amendment
' say that other sources of revenue
_will be provided, but no provis
th - is made, and it looks as if
this is held up more as a hope
gm as a promise. We all reals
%Mf‘hat our tax laws are not per
fect, but is it not better to ‘bear
' the .ills we have, thin to fly to
- others that we know not of.’ Cer
‘izf , the yevgzle do not care to
%‘;j .in liea of our present sys
‘tem, the legislative accident of
. the proposed amendment.”
i Mr. Matthwes told how the
Cstatewide fight against the amend
‘ment has developed as the people
pealized that the amendment is
‘mot designed to “help th, average
‘person but to relieve non-resident
jortgage corporations and other
f" agencies of paying their

orts from all over the state in-

AMERICAN LEGION |
OPPOSES PROPOSAL ‘
BAST POINT, Ga.—(Special.)— |
Opposition to the proposed 15-mill
tax limitation amendment is ex
pressed in resolutions adopted by
the East Point Post of“the Amer
ican L.egion. The Post poposes ths.
amendment for the following rea
sonss
“1. Because we believe that it
will seriously affect the schools of
the state and we, as Legionnaires’
have more interest in the schools
than in any other department of
the state.
“2. We believe this proposed
amendment, if passed, would mean
a certain increas, in taxes of the
city home owner, farm owner;
tenart, 'wage earner, merchant and
other business men, causing about
90 percent of the citizens of Geor
gia to pay more direct and indi
rect taxes than are now being
paid.” :
