Nibbles at Tax Funds Cost
State Taxpayers Too Much
From The Atlanta Constitution
Some groups in the state appear to be riled because
Gov. Vandiver has ruled that taxpayers’ funds should not
be used to send beauty contest winners to adjoining and
distant states “to advertise Georgia.’’
The resentment is human and reveals a typical reaction
by every promoter who thinks highly of his own idea and
is sure nothing is too good for it.
Actually, the governor is right. Taxpayers are not in-
terested in footing the bills for beauty queens to travel
as state ads. That they are lovely, we do admit. But tax
ihoney isn't collected to pay their travel bills.
Let the promoters who hold the beauty contests foot
the bills. The average taxpayer, who sees the winners
only as photographs in the newspapers, isn’t willing to.
It might be a better advertisement for the state to send
some of our leading students or bur 4-H or FFA winners
to these meeting. But the taxpayers cannot be expected
to pick up that tab either.
Thieves can clip the taxpayers. But so can all the
myriad little.“nibbles” by well-meaning persons advertis
ing well-intentioned ideas for the state to finance.
The best ad for Georgia is a well-run state, with its
finQpcyil integrity undoubted and its schools and institut
ions improving; Gov. Vandiver is not a trapeze swinging
oshi hit doesn’t shout, rave or lie. But he is honest
and'tje.'i^ office.

Cotton Vote Set
For December 15
Tuesday, Dec. 15, has been set
as the date for cotton farmers
to vote on marketing quotas for
the 1960 cotton crop, John F.
Bradley, Administrative Officer
of the Agricultural Stablization
and Conservation State Office,
announced today. Upland cotton
quotas must be proclaimed by
the Secretary of Agriculture
whenever the supply exceeds nor
mal. The current estimated supply
of 23,154,000 running bales for
1959-60 exceeds normal by 4,-
434,000 bales.
In proclaiming quotas, the Se
cretary also announced that
Choice (B) allotments for 1960—
provided quotas are in effect for
the crop—will be 40 percent
larger than the “regular” Choice
(A) farm allotments.
The December 15 vote is an
important one, Bradley empha
sized, because its outcome will de
termine whether .marketing quo
tas become effective for 1960, the
kind of allotment program in
effect, and the level of price sup
port available for next year’s
crop.
If the quotas are favored by
at least two-thirds of the growers
voting in the referendum, mar
keting quotas with penalties on
“excess” cotton will be in effect
for the 1960 upland cotton crop,
growers will have a choice be
tween the “A” and ”B allot
ments and price supports—similar
to the program in effect in 1959—
and price support will be avail
able at not less than 75 percent
of parity (for “A” cotton) and
60 percent of parity (for “B”
cotton).
If more than one-third of the
growers voting in the referendum
oppose the quotas, there will be
no marketing quotas of penalties
in effect for the 1960 upland cot
ton crop, only the “regular
Choice (A) —allotments will be
in effect, and price support will
drop 50 percent of parity for
cotton grown in compliance with
allotments. Bradley pointed out
that the 40-percent increase in
acreage permitted to growers
who chose to grow their 1960-
crop unland cotton under the
Choice (B) program— under a
marketing quota program is the
same percentage increase pro
vided under the 1959 program.
By law, the price support under
I Choice (B) would be 15 percent
iof parity low’er than under
Choice (A). t
