Given Georgia the Lotveit Ralo of Taxation Ilneo tbo War, Atlanta, Sept. 20.—(Special.)—Watson and other Populist npesikers have been asserting that the Democratic putty in Georgia has been extravagant la Us management of the government. To day Attofhey-General Terrell gives the following statement ot facts, effectively answering tlielr charges: The total appropriations for the state government and public Institutions for 1S-J4, except for common sohools and pensions, amount to $1,113,204. In tbts Is included $100,000 for tbe erection of an additional building ( at the luuattu asylum. Tlie special taxes aggregate $001,810. Deduct Uils amount, which is raised other than by property taxa tion, from the above amount of $1,113,- 2U4, and you will nave the ueecsmtry amount to be levkal ahd collected from a property tax, which is $123,418. The taxable property for 1801 Is $127,000,000. Tito rate necessary to raise this amount of $123,118 is 00-100 of a mill, or a fraction over 00 cents on the $1,000. The rate of taxation for 1S01 as levied Is 4.37 mills, or $1.37 on tlie $1,000. This Is made necessary by the appropriations for schools and pensions. The appropriation for schools is $030,- 323.03, not including poll tax. To raise this amount It would bo necessary to levy It tux of 2.24 mills, or $2.21 on tlie $1,000. Tho appropriation tor pensions to soldiers and widows Is $400,000. In or der to raise this amount it Is necessary to levy a tux Of 1.08 mills, or $1.08 on tho $1,000. To cover Insolvent lists and to pay tax receivers %ud collectors the expenses of collection, nu mldtlonii! lux of .00 of a mill, ur Q coals on tho $1,000, is necessary. These aggregate rates make a total of 1.37 mills, or $1.37 on the $1,000. liut for tho npproprkitlfwt for common schools nud pensions the tax rate would bu ouly 09 coals on the $1,000 of'prop erty,.which Is by far the lowest rate ot’ any stalo In tho Union.. If tho appro priation for tho erection or additional buildings at the lunatic asylum, which Is included la tho above, had not been required by the act of 1893, this ex ceedingly low rate would havo -been about 21 cents on tbe $1,OUO lower. In other jvurds. tho rate of 73 cents per $1,000 would ho sufficient to run tbo governuiont and moot all tbo approptm-' lions except tbo annex to tlie asyium. tlie pensions and tho common sclmol fund. The stflto of Kansas hns a t’opulist governor and u Populist legislature. Tho tax rate there for this year, as shoivu by tho Kansas nets of 1893, is :t.7u mills, or $3.70 on the $1,000. Nothing wlmtever 1h appropriated .In Kansas iur common schools and pensions. That state has a common school system sup ported by district taxes, which Is au additional tax to the $3.70 rate. Cilt- r.ens are called upon by n Populist gov ernment to pay $3.70 on the $1,000 for what t> Democratic government lit Georgia cults upon tho citizens here to pay 73 cents. If tlie pcoplo of Georgia desire the common schools abolished nud all pensions to Confederate soldier* nud widows withdrawn then tho tax rate can bo lowered to 73 cents per $1,000.
