COMMON SENSE SUGGESTS
The road by your farm or home—
The school to which your children go—
Would never have been built, if before
building the road and school you had been
forced to convince a private corporation that
its stockholders would get a faf dividend on
watered stock by the building.
People must haye roads and schools, and
so you build them.
Over 104,000 farms in Georgia are
without electric light and power.
Moreover 3,343 and more towns and vil
lages have no electricity.
Yet in our streams are 2,152,850 horse
power of undeveloped water power, equiva
lent tc 21,528,500 tons of coal, the labor of
25,834,200 men, unused and thrown away ev
ery year. \
Light and power are as necessary as
schools and roads.
But the majority of these farmer-villages
and towns can hope to get no light and power.
The Constitution forbids the State to supply
them. They must get current from the cor
porations. But to install the machinery and
run the wires necessary to serve a few farms
< or a handful of people in a village would not
oay a profit on fictitious values. Therefore,
no corporation will furnish them current.
But the State, if the Constitution permit
ted could develop our waterpowers and sup
ply the service at cost.
You build your own roads and school
and tax yourself to pay for them.
If your Constitution allowed, your State
could develop your waterpowers and bring
electric light apd power to the farms, villages
and towns of Georgia, and pay the cost from
the earnings of the plant without imposing one
dollar of iax.
But the Constitution bars the way.
The Constitution is yours.
You can amend your Constitution.
