Makes Recommendations For
The Betterment ol The Syste:
Now In Use
Governor elect Hoke Smith has
given an interview in which he dis
cusses in detail plans for improv
ing the present system of managing
the finances of the state. He says
that provision should be made by
which every appropriation and es
pecially these for teachers’ salaries
should be promptly paid. He sug
gests the following plan:
“First. Increase the borrowing
power of the governor of those to
whom the borrowing power is en
treated to $500,000 each year, the
money to be borrowed for a limited
time and be paid back as soon as
there is money in the treasur. from
the collection of taxes to pay it
back.
“Second, Advance the time for
the payment of taxes by railroads
and public service companies to
September first.
“Third. To futher facilitate the
intelligent handling of the business
of the state, T suggest that the gov
ernor, the comptroller general and
the treasure be made a finance board
with a general supervision over the
collection of tuxes, the deposits of
money in banks and the borrowing
of money when that is necessary.
Fourth. The governor and the
•late house officers should be inau
gurated the first of January and
shyuld have oharge of the business
of the state for the entire fiscal
year.
“Fifth. In connection with the
inauguration of the governor the
first of January, I suggest that Octo-
bei elections be abandoned and that
all of our state house officers who
are elected now in October be elected
in November at the same time that
Congressman are elected,”
In connection with his interview
on the subject of finances, Mr. Smith
says:
“I wish to ask consideration by
the public and especially by the leg
islature of measures which may come
before the legislature next summer,
may desire to obtain that criticism
which will aid in securing wise ac
tion. There are other measures es
pecially pertaining to rural schools
and agricultural progress which 1
will submit later on. I ask for co
operation ’ free from partisan bias
that that we may accomplish the
greatest possible service for the peo
ple of the state.”
Glad of It.
Elberton Star.
Mr. Noble, of Macon, lost $2,000
in paper money in the fire that
destroyed his home. Glad of it.
Any man that is foolish enough to
keep his money in his home or in
his jeans, when he ought to put it
in a safe bank, where it can be made
to serve humanity, ought to lose it
by fire or robbery. It will find its
proper use after leaving the robber’s
hands, and enriches the government
if burned. In a skin-flint’s pocket
it serves nobody, and might as well
be used for gun wads.

THE LAST of the YEAR
Another year has gone--the time does not

of the money you have spent foolishly in one
year and think what it would mean to you
if it were in the bank.
Do not let this next year catch you in the
same condition, but save your money. That
is the way to advance. If your salary is increased thig coming
year, save the increase. Save your money, be it ever so little.
