What aro we going to do about our
taxes? Why, pay them, of course.
There are two things certain, taxes
and death. We may dodge other obli
gations, but not death and taxes,
how are we to pny them? Well, some
oi U s will scufflo and ciiLL. around and
pav in the usual way, while many poor
fellows will be forced to let thetr
property sell for taxes. 1 predict that
within two years, weeds and grass will
be growing in the main streets of M in-
def and fifty per cent of our real estato
will 1)0 sold for taxes or put in loan
companies unless wo get relief from
somewhere. ’
As an example of what the farmer
to up against., is a farm I have in Win
der that cost me last year $2.00 per
sere for taxes and the place actually
lacked $20.00 of making enough to pay
taxes and guano, counting nothing for
wear and tear and use of stock. Tt. is
a plain fnct that any business going in
that, direction will not stand long.
There is very little real estate in Win
der and Bartow county that is paying
expenses, yet the tax is being raised.
We are on extravagant people all the
wav from Winder to Washington.
About a decade ago, wo were amazed
when the papers announced thnt, we
had a million dollar congress. Now,
it is four or five billions. And we lit-
tl,. fellows down hero in Winder were
<li torminod not to bo outdone. We are
paying four times as much tax now as
we did ten years ago to build fine court
houses, jails, schools, roads, etc., and
to keep up multitudes of office holders
that we don’t need.
The real dirt farmers and the poo
pie who hear the burden of taxes should
get together and inform our members
of the legislature that unless some real
ixpcnse cutting is forthcoming that
they may prepare to vacato. But we
need not expect very much through leg
islation. The real place to get the most
relief is right ill Winder and Bartow
c.ounty.
Take our schools ns an illustration
of our reckless spending. These schools
cost us around $33,000 per year where
they need not cost, the city one penny.
Twenty years ago, country teachers took
schools for what t.lio state would pay
and were glad to do that. The teachers
of Winder could do the same. In the
nineties I taught school 6ix months
in the year and made a small crop to
pay expenses and cleared about $200
per yeaV that the state paid mo for
teaching. Now, if any of the Winder
teachers think this impossible, let them
tty it and I will guarantee that they
can make and save money provided
they work the other six months to pay.
"expenses. They could do their own
housekeping and live very cheap.
During these very, very strenuous
times I think we should spend these
public appropriations of local, and state
tax funds during tho timo allotted for
the free schools and nil got a job for
the balance of the year and with a
mighty effort try to pull out of the rut.
Now, tliis plan will not afford two jan
itors and a bunch of extra teachers
that we poor folks can’t afford.
I understand thnt contracts have
treed let for teachers and it would be
very embarrassing, indeed, to the board
of education to ask them to get jobs
elsewhere or teach here on the schols
own merits. There is going to some em
barrassment. soon Bomewhcre. It. is go
ing to'be a terrible ordeal to see our
homes sacrificed for taxes and general
expenses.
Now, I hope no one will be offended
~by these very plain remarks. I am not
trying to advise the board. I am only
giving my view of how one department
of tiro city’s business could be run with
less expense until wo can catch our
breath a moment.
What I have said about schools will
apply to most every othor department.
It costs four times as much to run onr
banks as ten years ago. And what
headway aro they making? The leg
islature is teeming with a multitude of
useless pages and door-keepers. In
fact, our whole country is drifting head
long to financial ruin. Our motto should
be, “pay as you go and never owe.
M. R. Maynard, in Winder News.
MY CITY AND I
My home and my business is founded
in My City. She givcB to me and
mine the protection of Law and Order,
that my property may enhance and my
rights iio sacred. I vote here.
My City gives my children a superior
schooling. Good neighbors are mine.
Truly, My City is “home spot” for me.
1 owe My "City my full measure of
eivic loyalty. If I pretend a manly
and fair reciprocity, 1 must, upon every
occasion, give to My City n full meas
ure of loyalty through intelligent co
operation with others of hithilnr senti
ments.
My City does not want my partisan
ship, my selfishness, my ilisscntion, my
criticism nor my indifference. Bather,
Mv City expects of me qualities of
high citizenship, tolerant friendship,
willing co-operation, jficart'given sym
pathy and intelligent support.
1 irtliy economize or retrench wher
ever I'choose, but 1 must not. withhold
my support from M.y ( City's greatest o r
gan-iziltion, her'Chamber'of Commerce,
which exists only for the good it does
and funotions in a field of usefulness
not covered by any other agency, or
by the national, state or city govern
ments.
As I am n man. and conduct a man’s
business in a man’s City, I considor my
self privileged to co-operate with other
men in improving the status and af
fairs of Mv City. As My City’s Cham
ber of Commerce is the centralization
of tho best thought of her best men,
for tho general good, I willingly con
tinue my membership.
As a prideful man, the thought of
withholding support from My City'*
Chamber of Commerce would be ab
horrent, as the stigma of being a para
site upon my business neighbors, and
the shame of advertising myself as wil
ling to rido upon their public spirit
would bn more than I could stand.
My Chamber of Commerce member
ship' givos My City a square deal.—

Follow Taxpayers:
There aro 000,000 of us in Georgia,
it is of interest to all of us to know

Tt used to be true, but it. is not so now.

As city and town property is paying
more tax than county property is pay
ing to the Stato, city and town prop
erty will benefit more by repeal.
Repeal will play right into the hands
of the big property owners in the cities.
Where a farm which is now returned
for taxation at $1,000, may be reduced
to $500.00 and have its tax cut from
141-2 cents an acre to C 1-4 cents, thus
saving $2.25 on its State tax, a city
building now returned at $200,000 will
he reduced in the same proportion to
$100,000 and the owner will save $500
in State tax.
The above is submitted for your
thoughtful consideration.
