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.
