THE
CAPITOL
SIDESHOW
The finances of Georgia have
been reviewed carefully in a
cent study of State revenues,
propriations and expenditures
the past eight years, prepared by
State Auditor Zack Arnold. Mr.
Arnold, who has been doing a
very competent job, has made an
analysis of the various items of
government that cost money and
has arrived at the conclusion that
Georgia’s budget can be made to
balance only by very aggressive
measures.
For the first time, a reaspons
ible State official has offered
rnething in the way of various
alternative plans for balancing the
state s income with its outgo, Mr.
Arnold, it must be regretted, has
no latitude—without subjecting
himself to all degrees of invidious
criticism—to recommend a defi
nite course of action. He confines
himself to figures, disclosing that
- ofSsjJJrrent operation of the State on a basis
legislative policies will
cost lose to eight million dollars
more tVian the State now receives,
that elr ination of certain serv
ices couUc reduce this annual
shortage fiscal aVi^i that various other
devices' would simplify the
problem \
The state auditt.tr proves to be
about as mystified as other Geor
gians as to the amount of Ihe state
debt. The division of his report
given to this subject contains '
some
unconscious humor, and reflects |
the regrettable condition that ex
ists in Georgia’s accounting svs
tem. Mr. Arnold, after listing all
the “valid and legal debts of the
State — bonds, highway certifi
cates, W. and A. warrants—pre
sents the figures for the “lease
contracts for Tattnall Prison and
the State Hospital, totalling around
five million dollars. He is in
clined to a belief that the four
million dollars due teachers is
pretty close to a valid obligation, j |
His report, however, makes no
• reference to obligations due the i
Highway .fund, which, unless re
paid, will entail heavy penalties i
from the Federal government in
reduction of Federal aid money.
Only one criticism adverse to
Mr. Arnold’s thoughtful analysis is
fair. An attempt to defend the
“grandfather clause” by which the
State repudiates its solemn prom
ises annually borders on sophistry;
something about the section de
voted to the “grandpappy wuz a
horse thief’’ or “bankruptcy”
clause of the Appropriations Bill
—a provision which incidentally,
ha' done much to further Georgia
dictatorships—suggests that this
I part of the report is the sugges
tion of a politician and not the
work of the State Auditor.
The next governor will have a
I nice job trying to balance the
budget. The candidates might take

Meantime, the vote hunting
drive goes on. The withdrawal of
Braswell Deen from the race was
not unexpected, and the claim of
Nix headquarters that his votes
will go that way is largely true,
inasmuch as all of the Deen votes
outside a few counties in the
Eighth Congressional District were
coming from adherents of the Riv
ers-Gillis machine.

fine physical constitutions and an

Hay we were reading Louie D.
Newton's Good Morning column,
entitled Midsummer Reflections,
such as—hogs rooting in the shade,
ice tinkling in the glasses, old
folks rocking and fanning and so
forth, and it inspired us to write
the following little ditty
“Ole Sol is beaming down,
On each and every (unfortunate)

The swimming pool is overflow

How many are in I wouldn't be
knowing.
The man next door is sprinkling
his lawn,
The shade on the porch has long
been gone.
The mosquitoes are humming and
flies are biting,
The kids across the way are cry
ing and fighting.
The world turns round and life
goes on,
While we almost suffocate and
cry out forlorn.
But at last we breathe deeply.
Bless our A. B. C’s,
Those leaves are really moving,
