The State
Macon.—ln an address before the
Macon Rottary Club, Gov. T. W. Hard
wick outlined his proposed income tax
plan for Georgia, which he estimates
will bring an additional revenue into
state's coffers of at least $2,500,000.
A resume of the governor’s address is
as follows:
“The state must have more revenue.
The ad valorem system does not touch
the most valuable source of revenue,
that of intangible property. Money
must be gotten from the people who
have it and make it. Other states
have found the solution of the prob
lem in income tax laws. An income
tax would require no special machin
ery, as the federal returns could be
made the basis for collection.”
In discussing his plan, the governor
cited the adoption of the income tax
In such states as New York, Illinois,
Massachusetts and North Carolina,
and showed what he termed the in
* adequacy of the ad valorem system and
the taxation on promissory notes.
“From what you hear, you would
think nobody would have to pay in
come tax in a time like this," said the
.governor, “but the figures in tax
collector’s office disprove it.”
The financial policy of the adminis
tration from the time he took office
was outlined by the governor. He
said he found the state $3,000,000 in
debt and that some expert financial
surgery was necessary - . He told of
the mortgage of the rental warrant
from the W. & A. railroad and the se
curing of a gasoline tax to take the
place of the loss in rentals, and how
the gasoline tax has produced prac
tically double the $540,000 formerly
provided by the rentals.
Defense of the auditing system put
in force by the last legislature, was
also made by the governor, who ap
pealed to the business sense of his
hearers for approval of the wisdom
of auditing the boobs of a concern
doing a $15,000,000 business annually.

PLANS CAMPAIGN FOR
BUILDING OF HOMES
A
Atlanta Real'’Estate Board Member*
Now Working Out Details
Os Movement
Atlanta.—A movement expected to
materially remedy the unemployment
situation and to greatly improve busi
ness conditions in Atlanta was seen
in the announcement by the Atlanta
Real Estate board of an intensive cam
paign to stimulate home building.
The movement will be known as the
“Own Your Own Home” campaign, and
its aim will be to show how every
salaried man and wage-earner may
own his own home, under improved '
financing methods. G. Ward Wight,
president of the board, is strongly
backing the campaign.
Next in importance to increasing
the number of dwellings owned by oc
cupants is the aim to provide employ
ment for thousands who now are out
of work. Compiled reports have
shown that the greatest employment
is in the building trades.
The real estate board estimates At
lanta’s house shortage as between 5,- (
000 and 7,000, and predicts that the
early construction of several thousand
homes would place millions of dollars
into circulating, benefiting every line
cf business and directly or indirectly,
practically every person in the city.
According to officials of the realty
board, the home-building program has
been given the hearty approval of real
estate men, bankers, merchants and
business men generally. Leaders in
the movement point out the futility
of organizing committees on unem
ployment, and of calling conferences
to discuss the jobless hundreds, and
declare that the only way to cope
with the unemployment situation is
to furnish work for those desiring it.

and fatally wounded, died later. In

his death. The cause of the shooting
had remained a mystery until the
statement of young Hurt. He was shot
in the barn lot of the Stiles home, as
he was climbing a fence. Stiles, who
has been arrested, denies that he had
an\ thing to do with the shooting.
Forsyth Moves To Pave Streets
Forsyth.—Paving of the streets of
Forsyth is expected to start at an
early date, At the last meeting of
council, it was decided that before the
matter could be taken up in any de
tailed manner, it would be necessary
to have a survey made and get expert
information in regard to costs, and the
J. B. McCrary Company of Atlanta
has been engaged to have an estimate
made.

fronted with another raise in rent on
May 1 read them with much fear and
trembling.
Now is the time to announce for
the attention of those concerned a
declaration of Independence. How can
It be done? By building a home of
their own —If they cannot afford a
large one, why not a small one.
This year will see many small homes
constructed. It has been demonstrated
very convincingly that rents will not
come down until more homes are built.
As a suggestion we submit the charm
ing little home shown In the illustra
tion. Here is a small house of inex
pensive but attractive design, built
of frame and stucco. It has a cute lit
tie front porch with artistic railing
and roof, painted white in striking con
trast to the dark brown stain of the
shingled shllng. The trim about the
house is also white, while stucco with
timber panels Is used above the first
floor plate.
One enters the living room directly
from the porch and finds himself In a
large bright room with open fireplace
and wall bookcases. This room Is 20
by 12 feet and lias two large windows
facing front and two small ones on
each side of the chimney on the side.
To the left of the living room Is the
dining room connected with the former
by a cased opening. The dining room
Is equally bright and cheerful, getting
sunshine from a triple window In front
and another large single window on
the side. It Is 14 feet 6 Inches by 12
feet.
It opens In turn through the ustinl
swinging door into the small efficient
kitchen. Many people cannot get used
to tile Idea of the small kitchen be
cause they were raised In a home In
which the kitchen was one of the
largest rooms In the house. They
perhaps forget or were too young to
realize at the time, that this same large
kitchen was a mighty burden for their
mother. There Is no question about
the smaller kitchen being Just ns
practical and Infinitely easier to keep
In order. In this house the kitchen
has a small pantry adjoining and
equipped with an outdoor Icing refrig
erator which Is ohe of the most popu
lar innovations In homehullding. This
icebox arrangement elemlnntes the
necessity of the iceman tracking
through a clean kitchen to put Ice In
the box. He puts the Ice through the
door from the porch without disturb-
ing the housewife or messing up the
kitchen.
On the other side of the first floor,
opening into the Uvlng room, Is a good
sized spare bedroom which can be used
very nicely as a library if not needed
for sleeping purposes.
On the second floor are three large
bright bedrooms excellently ventlluted
by several windows and unusually
eheerful. They are grouped about a
hall in the popular way.
The house is 30 feet wide and 24
feet long.
For those who cannot afford a large
house or who have no need for a
larger dwelling, this house should
prove a source of much comfort and
satisfaction.
