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 Cook's Chattanooga Galvanized Syr up Bans for sale by .Smith Hardware Cos.
