Question of
Simple Justice.
In All tli#» controversy over th*
statu* of the state treasury, pa**t
and Isiture. one luminous fact
elands out clear and undisputed—
The common school i**H''h»'r*' of
Georgia are not being fairly dealt
with t>v the state.
While nil other employees of
the state, whether in legislative,
executive or judicial departments,
are receiving tln-ir money n“ ••urn
e.d, the school teachers alone are
forced to wait months and months
for their meager pittance.
To correct tins glaring injustice
Governor Brown has set his hand
to revise tin* state s fiscal system.
Whether extravagance has ex
isted in the past, whether it was
wrong to start the common school
system and wait a year to raise
revenue for its opera t tmi, us was
done: whether there will lie a de
ficit v of $1,000,Out) or only a half
million in the state treasury on
Judtiary I next: whet her this de
ficit is greater or less than on any
similar date in the past —all this
is tieside the iinini point, which is:
The teachers who intruot tin*
youth of Georgia are not paid
promptly nod never have .hewn
paid promptly since the common
school system was established.
This simple fact, with its glar
ing injustice, has never been
controverted, ipiestioned or de
nied.
What it means every wage.earn
er can testify.
There is here no mystic maze of
figures to confound and contuse
the uninitatc. Tin* teachers arc
h.ot getting their desserts.
The remedy for thin situation
involves questions that will en
gage the skill of export accoun
tants. financiers, constitutional
lawyers and law-makers.
Th** solution may involve in
creasing tin* consitutiniial limit of
ihe governor's borrowing power
liiii n $200,000 to $600,000. to
meet the delay in the receipt of
state’s taxes; it may mean a bond
issue to imt the state even; or ii I
may call forth some new remedy
not vet suggested.
Whatever it is. no one svillqties-j
t ion l In* honesty or the justice!
of the contention that the teach
ers of Georgia should lie paid as I
all other officers of the state are
p ud—prompt I v.
And toward this happy consnm-j
mat ion Governor brown has an
nounced that he i* working!—|
