SALARIES TOO HIGH
SAYS THOMPSON
I, C. M. Thompson, of my own free
will and accord, uninfluenced by any
thing save my natural and man-made
environments suehts you And in the
average man, and having no hope of
a reward nor expecting it, and having
no fear of man or beast in taking issue
with me, I desire to make the follow
ing statements:
There is too heavy expense in the
management of city affairs. We are
paying too much for most of the
tilings we get. Take the common or
ordinary laborer of the day and the
house servant. They are being paid
too much.
Take a lot of laundry out and And a
darkey and she will charge you two
prices. There are right here in Win
der men and women who have sjient
time and cash to prepare themselves
for work and along comes a Gump and
rakes off more per hour than this effi
cient person.
Why not cut some of these expenses
and get the city affairs on a cash basis.
I am now speaking of school and other
city' employees. In 1915 an acre of
land was worth S3O. and suppose yon
paid your employees an average of
$65 per month. In 1920 land was worth
S2OO per acre. Putting tin* average at
$l5O per acre it is more than double.
Now, land is in no demand and sales
are far between at from S2O to SSO per
acre. Now, why not go back to the
sensible price to its city servants.
So long as you pay out these high
salaries that long will the people suf
fer. It Is the same with state and
county affairs. Taxes are too heavy.
The men who control are killing the
goose that lays thegoldem egg.
Of course, I realize that the average
farmer has acted very silly in his man
agement of affairs but some city folks
have acted the fool also. These city
folks can tell the farmer how to raise
cotton against all odds. They can tell
you about a nice bank account the far
mer has and 4hat taxes are not heavy.
4 set out. to talk about city affair but
I have gotten off, so back I go. The
time lias come when some cutting has
got to be done or else. The doctor lias
a sharp knife too, and can perform the
operation successfully. The X-ray has
been turned on and the rotten spot
lias been found. If you refuse to sub
mit to the cutting away you can just
go back to your higli-price robbery and
soon meet your bankrupt doom.
Then wise guys will sit off snigger
ing and saving “I told you so. Ibis
will be when the tax-collector force*;
your property to sale to satisfy a claim
of unjust ajid unfair taxes. Oh! that
some Moses would spring up here in
Winder and adjust and correctly ar
range matters, and might jiis influence
‘reach the uttermost ends of the county
ami put tin* burden where it should be.
After this, might liis influence reach
the state capitol and issue out a lot of
stuff that would leaven the whole state
am 1 place burdens where they belong.
■ Now, in the state of Georgia, there
may be a man worth forty or fifty thou
sand dollars and there is very likely
fifteen thousuiuj that tax assessors can
ffind, yet there are thirty thousand or
more not taxed.
Now, honest Tom Unite owns a small
farm and he has his all right where
the assessors can easily find it and he
comes in for a< double portion of tax,
takes a bond for title, he pays tax on
the bond and the note holder pays tax
on tin* notes, doubled again.
What a shame put upon civilized peo
ple when the law says swear a man
when he gives in his taxable property
and then appoint a lot of men as asses
sors to say he lied. That is what law
yers study for; they make honest men
liars.
If I fail in my efforts it shall not be
lain to counsel of a shyster. I know
I could have been a much wealthier
man had I heeded a lawyer’s counsel
hut It is a good idea and you should
heed this;
Have as 'little ns possible to do with
lawyers and doctors . They both want
tvour cash and without it you connot
•use either.
Cut salaries of city oflMals and cut
out the doctors and attorneys. Let
them lay off their priestly robes ami
get down to hard tacks and water. Let
us all vote and work for less expenses

BURGLAR CAUGHT
