“Whereas, the Southern Gov
ernors’ Conference in Tallahass
ee, Fla., last. February, and in
Washington, D. C., on March 13,
1948, went on record as opposing
this so-called civil rights pro
gram.
“Now, therefore, be it resolved
by the Southern Governors’ Con
ference, convened at Savannah,
Ga., that we reiterate our op
position to the President’s so
called civil rights program.
“That we condemn outside in
terference and the usurping of
purely state rights by the Feder
al Governmeint, and that we
pledge anew our support and co
operation with the Southern
I members of Congress in oppos
| ing this unconstitutional legis
lation by every means at their
command; and be it resolved,
■ further, that a copy of this reso
lution be sent to each member of
the Congress of the United
States”.
CORN CHAMPION
A Georgia 4-H club boy has
grown 156 bushels of corn per
acre in 1948 to become state
champion in the corn project.
He is Huey Forrester of Fannin
County. He wins a $l5O college
scholarship for his work.
$380,000 To Be
Snenl On Pines
According to L. A. Hargraves,
•ir., assistant forester for the
State Extension Service. Geor
gians will spend $380,000 this 1
season for planting pine trejsJ
Thirty million pine seedlings
will be shipped from nurseries
of the State Department of
Forestry this season," Mr. Har
graves pointed out. “These seed
lings will cost SBO,OOO and plant
ing them will cost $300,000
more.”
He warned that many thou
sands of dollars are lost each
year because trees are not
planted properly. To prevent
this unnecessary loss, he recom
mends the following rules:
Be on the lookout for your
seedlings and accept them
promptly. They are shipped at
the purchaser s risk, so cheek
your shipment, and, if damaged,
file claim with the carrier aid
advise the state office of the Di
vision of Forestry of the ex
tent of the damage.
Carry seedlings home without
delay and "heel in” in a cool,
moist place protected from sun
and wind. Do not let them
freeze while in the bales.
If frozen when received, al
low the seedlings to thaw just
enough to separate the bundles,
“heel in” and allow natural
thawing in the ground.
If planting is delayed, don’t
neglect to water and care for
the “heeled in” seedlings. Keep
the roots moist at all times un
til planting.
When ready to plant be sur^
■ you have enough tools and
buckets for the job. Read the
planting instructions carefully
and follow' them closely.
Do not delay or prolong plant
ing unnecessarily.

Pre-War Tote's
Georgia should be able to
spend more than $265,000,000 for
highway improvement in the
1949-1952 fiscal period, we’l
over twice as much as was
actually spent for these purposes
during the corresponding pre- ■
war period. accG»d'ng to a sur
vey on highway finance con
ducted by the Georgia Highway
Users Conference which an
nounced its finding today.
“Howe\ er,” commented Mr. E.
L. Jaillet, Chairman of the
Georgia Highway Users Con
ference “this record-breaking
sum will be available for high
way improvements only if the
slate ends the disastrous prac
tice of spending highway user
tax revenues on non-highway ac
tivities.”
He pointed out that, according
to National Highway Users Con
ference figures, the people of
Georgia have been deprived of
$55,547,000 worth of highways
through diversion of road funds
during the period 1934-1946. In
addition, he declared, Georgia
also derived $13,655,000 in road
funds to purposes other than
road and highw-ay improve
ment.
Stating that the total amount
to be available for all road and
h ghway purposes was estimated
at $265,030,422. including Fed-

pated at $48,086,867. Mr. Jaillet
said the survey showed that af
ter funds to be shared with the
counties, and state highway
maintenance, administration and
other overhead costs are deduct
ed, about $205,500,000 will re
main to be used exclusively for
state highway construction over
the coming four year period. He
ndded that the unprecedented
magnitude of this sum is seen
in that it equals 86 percent of
the total amount spent for a'l
slate highway construction dur
ing the twenty year period 1921-
1941.
“If -his money is used for
roads, as is only right, Georgia
is financially assured of a first
class highway future.” He said
Georgia had never before reap
ed such a “golden harvest” from
state automotive taxes which
will yield a record $186,000.0H0
over the four years. Georgia’s
present 6 percent gasoline tax
alone will provide $164,700,000
of this figure, according to the
survey.
“The tremendous upsurge in
gasoline tax collections is all
the more notable,” he added,
"because it proves that this tax
is self-adjusting. It provides
more revenue automatically a
more cars take to the roads a id
as cars are used more widely,
thus eliminating any need to in
crease the tax rates on Georgia's
motorists.
“It is obvious.” Mr. Jaillet
continued, “that with this a
mount of money for roads, our
state should be entering the
greatest era of highway de
velopment in- its history. But if,
as in the past, great chunks of

former 4-H boy, warmly com-
this money- are to be spent on
non-highway projects whicn
should be supported by all our
taxpayers and not just one soe
cal group, we will find our
selves in 1952 and tnereai'er

this money was contributed by
Georgia'a motorists.”
Citing the survey, Mr. Jail
let said the average ' Georg.a
m< torist is now paying about
SBB annually' in automotive tax
es, one of the highest automo
tive tax bills in the country. “It
may also startle some people,’
he said, “to learn this motorist
is payipg more money in auto
taxes than he is in federal in
come taxes. Consequently, this
organization feels the least that
should be done is to give him
an iron-clad guarantee that his
hard-earned money will be used
for roads, and goads only,” he
declared.
Mr. Jaillet announced that h s
organization favored an amend
ment to the state constitution
which would specifically dedi
cate all road taxes to road pur
poses. “Twenty-one other pro
gressive states have amended
their constitutions to this effect
The results, from all accounts,
have been highly satisfactory
