Should a Bank Loan
Money for Advertising?
Should a bank loan money for
advertising? It should, in the
opinion of business men
“When we strike at advertising
meaning, of course, efficiently
applied advertising, we strike at
salesmanship, and the heart of
business ‘‘says one well known
banker. ‘
“When the merchant pulls
down his shingle and waits for
business to come to him in a
buyer’s market, we laugh at him,
and call hima poor husiness man.
“When he is forced to cut down
one of his methods of selling
because his banker considers‘
adyertising an unnecssary item
of expense and refuses an other-l
wise deserved loan purely on
that principle, it is my humble(
opinion that we should laugh at
the banker and feel sorry for the
merchant.
“Dont mistake my meaning. It
is a basic principle that a loar
must be well secured. But the
fact that the firm isa believer
in advertising and wants to usea
portion of the money for that
purpose should never stand in
its way when it fails on the
bank’s credit department.

Leeshurg, Lee County Ga., Friday. APRIL 13, 1923
Would Amend
The Constitution
; Amendment (o the constitution
of Georgia where by a mortgage
lgiven for the purchase of a small“
tract of land on which the pur
chaser desired to live, should be
exempt from taxation in thej
opinion of Joseph A. McCord,
chairman of the board of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlan
ta. ‘
“If I had it in my power’’ said
Mr. McCord ‘I would amend the
iconstitution of the state of Geor
giaso thatif a landlord or land
owner should sell 80 acres or less
)of land at a reasonable price to a
prospective farmer, white or
black, that the debt created by
the purchase of this 80 acres or
less, where it did not cost the man
who purchased the land more
than six per annum interest in
cluding all of the expenses, that
said morage should be free from
taxation, and that the purchasing
land owner should pay only on
the equity of the land."’
Mr. McCord said he would con
fine the exemption to not oyer 80
acres and he also stated that the
amendment should provide that
if prospective landlord should re
forest 20 acres out of the 80 acres
under the supervision of a fores
tay commission created by the
legislature, that the entire 80
acres would he exempt from tax
ation for a period of twenty years.
The machinery for keeping re
cords concerning the small farms
would be set up by the county
grand juries, he stated.
He said his proposed amend
ment to the constitution was actu
ated by the fact that in Georgia
today there is double taxation of
land and land mortgages and that
on account of this fact, no cne
will make loans at low rates of in
terest because the mortgages are
subject to taxation as well as the
land. He said the enactment of l
an amendment similar to the one
he suggested would result in the
entire state be double with small
farms.

Where the Central
of Georgia’s Dollar Goes
The Central of Georgia Railway
which is the largest tax payer in
in Georgia paid more for taxes in
in 1922 than it paid in dividends
on capital stock. Out of each dol
lar expended by the Central of
Georgia last year, 4.95 cents went
for taxes.
~ These and many other interest
ing figures are presented in a
form that is less confusing than
the average statistical table by
President \Vinburn who tells
where the railroad dollar comes
from and where it goes.
The average revenue ton of
freight per mile 1s only 1 1-4
cents proof that it is volume of
business rather thanrate that en
ables the road to meet expenses.
The Central of Georgia hauled
more than three and one half
million passengers last vear. The
average distance per passenger
was 44 milez, and the average
revenue per passenger per mile
was 3 1- cents.
There has been some recent
ag:tation concerning salaries paid
to general officers of railroads.
The Cenralof Georgia pays less
than one half of a cent out of each
dollar it expends to its general
officers as salaries
The statement gives an inter
esting insight into the various
phases of the tranportation busi
ness.
