Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia.
Two Very Dangerous
Constitutional Amend
ments Suggested.
During the 1920 session of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia there were
introduced two Constitutional Amend
ments which have a direct bearing on
the earnings and values of the prop
erty of every citizen of the state, and
because of the declaration by the pro
moters of these bills, that they will be
presented again to the next General
Assembly, it is the purpose of this
publication to acquaint the people of
Georgia with the nature of these pro
posed bills.
The First Bill Is:
A constitutional amendment to
authorize the General Assembly to
create a “Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission” with authority to incur debt
in the name of the State for the pur
pose of purchasing, leasing, construct
ing, operating and maintaining public
utilities, such as water works, street
railways and plants for the genera
tion, transmission, distribution and
sale of electric or other light, heat or
power, and transmission lines or other
means for the transmission and distri
bution of light, heat and power. This
bill gives the proposed Hydro-Electric
Power Commission the authority to
condemn any and all such public utili
ties, and exempt* them when so ac
quired, from the supervision of the
Railroad Commission of Georgia,
which now has control of the rates
and operating practices of all such
utilities in the State.
The Second Bill let
A constitutional amendment to
authorize cities, towns and counties
to exceed the limitation of seven per
cent on debts, for the purpose of pro
viding money to carry out the pro
gramme of the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission as outlined in the previ
ous bill. It cancels the limitations
and restrictions imposed by the Con
stitution as to the issuance of bonds
by counties and municipalities of the
State.
What Do These Bills Mean?
A MODEST ESTIMATE OF THE
PRESENT VALUE OF ALL OF
THE PROPERTIES IN GEORGIA
AFFECTED BY THESE BILLS IS
$150,000,000.00. The annual interest
on that amount of debt at the lowest
rate of interest would be $7,500,000.00
The State of Georgia, and its coun
ties, cities and towns, would issue
bonds, first for the purchase price orf
these properties. Then they would
issue more bonds every year for im
provementa.
Then they would issue some more
bonds to cover the deficiencies in op
erating the plants in the large cities,
at rates lower than the cost ol service.
Every bond issued would be a mort
gage on every home and farm in the
State.
Every dwelling, every farm owner
and every renter would be taxed to
pay the interest on these bonds, ee
that the people living in the cities and
towns might have cheaper street car
fares, cheaper gas, and cheaper lights
than the cost of furnishing them.
If you desire it, conies of these bills
will be mailed you if you will send
your name and P. 0. ad drees to this
paper.

SUCCESS.
All night the tank conductor goes
Along the skidroad through the
trees
An’ sprinkles on the crispy snows
The water thet will fnll an’ freese;
Thus, by the aid of his device,
Lays down an avenue of Ice.
At mom the busy teams will hnmp
Along the way with mighty load
An' find a passage to the dump
Along the tank conductor’s road —
Will pile their creakin’ bolsters full
An’ brag about "the loads they pull.
There nre a lot of ns, I guess,
Who call ourselves "self-made” an
such,
Who talk about our own success.
Yet haven't done so very much.
Per, ten to one, some other cuss
Went out an’ Iced the road ter us.
