kno< king at the door of this legislature
fur financial aid 1 am confident that
>ou a 11 make earnest effort to meet
every just demand In so doing we
must give consideration to the people
who pay the bills the taxpayers of
Georgia. They are already heavily
burdened. When they have paid thetr
State taxes, county taxes, city taxes,
special taxes, school taxes, income
taxes, and have responded to the many j
patriotic and charitable demands, a
great part of their income has been |
taken away Irctu them.

• Not oni penny more of tax burden
should be levied on the property now !
on the tax booka of the atate, and un ;
der no circumstances should tha tax
rate be made greater than it la today.
“Moat of the revenue of Georgia is
derived from tux on homes, farms,
stork and other visible property of this
atate. while we are told that millions
of dollars known as Intangible and
Invisible property is paying nothing
to the support and maintenance of
i the state government and its splendid
institutions. The additional revenue
i necessary for the proper support of all
the state s interest should he obtained |
from this class of property.
i rop conditions in Georgia are not
bright but gloomy. With short crops
,and possibly a lower price for the
! products of the farms and field, to
gether with the dleturhed and unsat
istaclory business situation, the load
carried by the taxpayers will be al i
most unbearable. They must be eon
sidered and thalr burden not made
heavitr than it la at present, and in
their behalf 1 make this appeal to you
All properly should bear its equal 1
share of t(u> tax burden of the state !
The great task before this legislature
is to solve this important and mo
inentous problem I believe that you
will do so. ever keeping In mind the
words on the great seal ot the State
lot Georgia, Wisdom. Justice and Mod-j
e rat ion.”
