Ring at the same time that “out

partly to blame ' for the present
impasse between him and the leg
islature over finances
‘‘In 1936, for instance during the
last administration, the average

poison the minds of the people's

last adminiistration because it cut
their taxes $2 per hundred, saving
them a sizeable amount of money
on their vast h 0 i d j ngs j n Georgia
and after cutting theiir taxes once,
attempted lo cut it still more by put
ting over on the people a constitu
tional tax limit an amendment
w hich would have amounted to a
Klondike for this crowd of Karpaz
baggers.”
The Governor asserted he believed
‘‘if the people wanted to use the
last administration as a “yardstick",
as pr0 posed by his political critics
we could ca „ it a day and quit be _
cause we bave already done niore
f0r the .^poo],, than the last ad
n lnistration.”
Promising that there “shall be no
blackouts of the moral debt the
State of Georgia owes its teachers
and school childrens if I can prevent
it,” Rivers said the differences be
tween the last administration and
his is that' when the grandfather
clause “wiped out the money owed
the teachers in the last administra
tion they crowed over it as a finan
cial feat, while on the other hand,
although my administration has al
ready done more for the schools
than did this so-called ‘yardstick"
crowd, I am not willing that the
grandfather clause or anything else,
shall blackout the debt the state
owes its teachers and school child
ren.”
The governor said he tried to rea
son with .Allen about the financial
situation in the state but“the only
concession I ever got out of him was
to reluctantly agree that he might
be willing for a small fraction of a
percent of a gross receipts tax for
a temporary period.”
Rivers said he has learned certain
f^cts about Allen’s business con
nations which showed Allen "is
serving a different interest from
what 1 a™ serving; he is serving
financiers in New York and Paris.”

Show Substantial
Gains in October
Substantial gains over the pre
ceding 10-day period and the
same 10-day period in 1938 were
erported by Chevrolet for the
first 10 days of November, it was
revealed at Central Office today,
with the announcement that deal
ers b ad ? °l d a t retail 29.693 new
! passenger cars and trucks. This
figure is 14.5% greater than the
same period in 1938 and 10.9%
higher than the 1939 period end
ing October 31.
Even though a general streng
thening of the sales graph was
apparent through most of 1939,
sales figures thus far in the 1940
model year have been substan
tially in advance of those report
ed for the 1939 year, with truck
sales up 57.7% over last year and
used car sales up 13.9%.
The 29,693 figure for Novem
ber 10 is 2,916 sales greater than
the 26,777 reported for the period
ending October 31, and 3,766 more
than during the same period last
year. Total truck sales were
6,145 as against 3,986 during the
first 10 days of November last
year. Used car sales totalled
35.386 as compared with 31,048
in the same period last year.

Agricultural Adjustment Administration
Farmers In this county will vote December 9 on whether marketing quotas
are to be made effective for the 1940 colton crop. Sample ballot to be used
is shown above. American farmers have a market for around 12 million bales
of cotton per year. Production during the last 3 years is shown in the chart:
In 1937, without any marketing control measures available, producers planted
a large acreage which, with high yields, resulted in a record crop of nearly
19 million bales. Cotton growers approved marketing quotas lor handling
their 1938 and 1839 crops, and production in each of these years was approxi
mately 11,900,000 bales, yet the surplus produced in 1937 is still hanging over
the market. Marketing quotas are provided in the farm program to forestall
further increases in our already large cotton supply and to guarantee that the
non-cooperator does not get an unfair share of the market for American cotton.
