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. THE STATE SHOULD ACT (Published by the Municiuel League of Georgia.)
