New Administration Finds
State Burdened By Heavy
Debts; Revenue Below Bill
By Frank Lawson and Dewitt
Roberts.
Next week, when the General
Assembly of Georgia convenes and
Eugene Taimadge takes office as
Governor, the fiscal problems of
Georgia will be the chief topic of
discussion in the Capitol. The
Treasury of the State has not been
so bare in many years; the debls
of the State have never before
reached such e, high figure. Geor
i gia’s budget, which has not been
completely balanced since before
World War Number One, is far
ther than ever from making reve
nues and appropriations match.
Pledged to economy, the new
State Administrr tion is expected
to make a close survey of depart
I ments in an effort to prune from
the budget every item that may
j represent an unnecessary expendi
ture. In an effort to find funds
necessary for early payment of sal
aries due teachers for the fiscs!
i year 1938-39, unusual and drastic
economies and, perhaps, even un
expected shifts of funds may be
required.
The revenue of the State from
taxation for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1940, was $44,604,000, of
which appreciably more than half
was allocated either to the com
mon schools or the highway de
partment, Increases in revenue
from certain taxes were noted, the
i principal gains being recorded for
j the and gasoline cigarette tax, tax income and inheritance tax, cigsr
tax. Spurred by intelligent revision
of the income tax law in 1937, a
new high was marked for this tax.
The inheritance tax increase of
close to one hundred per cent was
attributed largely to enactment of
the Intangibles Tax Act, which
brought many millions of “fugitive
1 wealth” back to Georgia

ast tiscal yerr. Some revision is
the basis of appropriations is also
possible.
However, it is obviously impos
sible to support at present stand
ards, even with drastic economy,
all the existing State services. The
legislature that convenes next
week must face the choice of lop
ping off $7,000,000 in appropria
tions or increasing revenues by
that amount.
The choice is one of basic pol
icy, and is squarely before the peo
ple and their representatives, who
are being urged either to reduce
educational, welfare health ?nd
highway grants or to provide the
money to pay for them.
Despite the increased yields of I
the income tax, the inheritance tax !
and the ^hree principal sales taxes,
the budget of the State remained
far from balanced.
A near crisis existed in the
schools. The State Auditor had
warned the state Board oi Educa
tion early in the school term that
a f ltic 'P ated revenues accruing to
f c kools would not guarantee a
! ■ seven_r nonth term nor meet srl
ary s °h e dules promptly through
: December.
The latter problem was
j s °L ed temporarily by a State loan
$3,500,000, but since this is
, liability against school funds that
| will come into the treasury during
the remaining months of the fiscal
! year, it afforded only temporary
relief.
The problem of State finance is
further complicated by the fact
that of the total income of the
State, more than 20 per cent is de
rived from the grants made by the
^ edera ' government and the dona
t* ons °f private organizations such
as the General Education Fund, the
Rockefeller Foundation and the
Rosenwald Fund. Most of the latter
go to the Department of Education
or the University System, but the
Federal grants are bestowed on
many agencies including the High
way Board, the Department of Ed
ucation, the University System, the
Health Department and the Public
Welfare agency.
A few of the Federal grants do
not have to be matched. A small
part of the road-building appro
priation is an outright Federal gift
as are the grants for portions of the
educational agencies. But the ma
jor items, including the substantial
support given the Public Welfare
department for old-age assistance,
payments to dependent children,
the crippled and the blind, must be
with State funds.
Georgia’s payments to these clas
ses of dependent citizens are very
low, already reaching the mini
mum permitted by the Federal So
cial Security Administration. In
addition, less than half the needy
applicants have been placed upon
the State rolls.
The debts of the State, however,
continue their upward trend. At
the end of the fiscal year those dis
closed by the report of the State
Auditor totalled over fifty million
dollars, of which these were the
principal items:
Fixed Debt, including Highway
bonds and certificates $27,088,000.
Lease contracts at Tattnall and
State Hospital, $3,251,000.
Current deficit, including high
way contracts, $13,071,000.
1938-39 school debt, $3,910,000.
Uncertainty prevails as to the
extent of the increase in the six
months that have passed since the
anual audit at the close of the fis
cal year. It appears authentic that
there has been a stibstential in
crease in the debts of the Highway
department, while a short term
loan of three and a half million
dollars for teachers’ salaries has
been rdded.
The existing State debt is some
what between fifty-five and sixty J j
million dollars, an all time high.
Included in this figure are the
hypothecation of rentals of the
Western End Atlantic Railway for j
many years to come.
Many of the new State agencies j j
were created hastily and experi
ments in their operations have tn
dubitably been costly. Estimates
that a million dollars E,nnually
could be lopped from administra
five budgets seem not unlikely.
