MRS. S. F. HALSTEAD AND FAMILY. MACON COUNTY LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN and depreciate the value of every thing in your county,” said Mr. Eve. John Holder declared that Sum ter county was paving her roads for less than any county in the state and he advised Macon citizens to follow Sumter’s example. He declared that paved roads enhance the value of every acre of land in the county, that good roads are educational and re ligious stimulants. The chairman said he was in favor of putting Federal and state aid on only those roads which connect with pieces of paving that already are complete. “We have agreed to com plete the paving from Atlanta to Macon,” he said. “Peach county is calling a bond election very soon and will pave her roads on the Dixie Highway. Sumter will have complet ed her part of the highway in a year or two. Thomas, Mitchell, Dough erty and Lee have paved or agreed to pave. Every mile on this route, practicaly from Rome, Ga., to the Florida line is paved or in shape to soon be paved except Macon county. What are you going to do? You wdll either pave or isolate yourself and have the reputation of being the least progressive of all the counties I have named,” declared the speaker. Mr. Holder said with the funds now in hand the Highway department could do some real constructive work, that every section of the state was clamoring for state and federal aid; that at Cordele, Moultrie and Dawson ( where he had just spoken, large crowds gathered and plane were j being perfected to carry on the pav ing of Georgia’s roads as rapidly as funds could be secured. He declar ed that, not a county in the state had failed in a roads bond election. He declared that in five years there would be seven millions of people in Florida for Georgia to feed and house and clothe. “Down at Moultrie I saw a thriving mattress factory, started by Will Vereen, which is making mattresses by the hundreds out of Georgia cotton and shipping them by ‘ truck in,to Florida,” paid Mr. Holder. “Georgia has the inside track; there’s an embargo on the railroads, but none on our roads. See what that is meaning to Moul trie?” Judge Greer, “speaking as an hum ble citizen” of Macon county, de clared that paving the Dixie highway through Macon county was “just good business.” Ke said the in terest and principle on an issue of SIOO,OOO in bonds would cost the county, over a 30-year period, about $6,500 annually; that if this was added to the present tax it would add only 15 cents per thousand dol lars on the present tax assessment, "but that is not necessary. These bonds will not cause a raise in taxes,” he said. Judge Greer declared that it now cost SB,OOO a year to maintain the 26-mile stretch of roads through his county and the sum necessary to re tire the SIOO,OOO issue being only $6,500, it seemed foolish not to pave. “Then, my friends,” he declared, “you must remember that for every dollar we put in the state and fed eral governments put up three dol lars.” Mr. McKenzie declared that Ma con county could not afford to be known as the exception when it came to good roads. “I was born here and I expect to die in this coun ty, and I want to see others come here and prosper,” he said. “I am for bonds and will do my part to carry them.” Mr. Witt wanted to know if the en- "grid's Greatest TRUCK VaJu©/ I NEW J&r ScouomicarTransportatiaA W ™ 1- TON TRUCK < * 11 Chevrolet intrdouces a new one-ton truck, built ac cording to the fundamental policy of, this company to provide “Quality at Low Cost.’’ It has a fine appearance and is especially designed and constructed for commercial service.

John Guerry and | Mr. Murph spoke enthusiastically,, each pledging himself to the utmost, j Pat Nelson of Ideal said the people | in his section were not in favor of bonds, “but they are fairest people in this world and if you come and ex plain this thing to them, they’ll do the right thing.” INHERTANCE TAX REDUCTION FAVORED (Continued Fiona Page One.) Opening the arguments for the state representatives, Governor Walker presented to the committee the resolution approved formally by 32 state governors asking repeal of the estate tax. He said other gov ernors also had indorsed it but nam ed the executives of lowa, Wiscon sin. Calfornia and Oregon as being ! opposed to repeal of the tax. “We believe this tax could not and would not have been passed,” he said, ‘except for the emergency cre ated by the war. We believe this levy should be left for use by the j states alone. “We are not experts in taxation ' and we leave to the wisdom of the i committee decision as to howw quick- 1 ly and in what manner the Federal government should retire from this field, if it so decides to do.” Discussing the income tax gen erally Governor Walker said the peo ple of his state had been turned vio lently against the levy because of the “ruthless” administration of the Federal law there. “As a matter of principle,” he said I feel this federal tax legislation i is distinct invasion of states* rights.” 1 The question of gift tax wwas not considered by the conference of gov ernors, he said, although he believed that the same in principle as the in heritance ta.;_ Opposing the position taken by Florida in repealing the state inheri tance tax, Governor Walker said he did not believe, neverthless the Fed eral government o rany other agency could force it to levy any tax.
