‘■Blnto ohligntiqiiH totaling *1,000,000
more than thn Bute'a anticipated rove
nue nro nuw n source of worry to the
Governor and other Hlnte. House offi
cials." is Gin startling staten cur
ried in yesterday’s issue of the Atlanta
Constitution. "HUlo Buflerlntendonl of
Kdiicqtion M. Ij. Ilrittnili presented tli
Governor yesterday with a requisition
for *000,000, covering hist year’s un
paid Imlnnco for tlio puhllc schools,"
says The Constitution. "The Governor
already had a requisition > for *415,000
covering unpaid pensions, due to thn new
class of pensioners eligible under a law
which boemno effective last year. A
requisition for *700,000 for the regular
pensioners will lie presented shortly, as
will one for *475,000 duo the now pen
sinners for 1021. To pay those there is
approximately *50,000 in available funds
in Urn Treasury, while about *1,000,000
in ad valorem taxes have not been pnid
This still leaves n deficit of approx
imatoly *1,000,000. The situation is due
to the excessive appropriations made by
the l.egislature, exceeding the increase
in taxes from enhanced property values
This is a pitiful situation in which
our great Slate finds itself, and it
one for which our l.egisliitnres are wholly
responsible unless we include Gov, Dor
soy and some of Ills immediate prede
censors in office, who lire not altogether
blameless. They should have had the
nerve to veto extravagant mid ill-con
hidcrcd appropriation measures that ail
tllorlxcd outlays of money for various
objects in excess of the Bute’s income,
Although several now sources of revenue
have been provided by law from time to
lime, no sootier does the Treasury liegi
to catch up with Its outgo than the Dug
islature finds other ways to spomj, thus
keeping the Btnto perpetually emlinr
rnnsod by obligations she cannot meet
without resorting to temporary loans to
protect her credit and save her gooif
name. An instanco of this recklessness
in spending was shown when the last
legislature passed an Act providing that,
one-half of the Htate's revenue from all
sources should go to tlm public school
fund. As a consequence the remaining
half of the Htate's income has been
found inadequate to meet the numerous
pressing demands upon tho Treasury--
• loinamis for objects quite ns worthy and
just as needy as the public schools. I-
example, a new and deserving clues
•pensioners were added In the roll
llllft, and the General Assembly at
session in that your voted an npprnpria
lion to pay them in 11120; but they wore
not pnid, because there was no money
in the Treusury or otherwise nvnilnhl
with which to pay them. Home of the
Stale’s institutions are being stinted and
starved fyr the huiiic reason. We do
not wish to be tmderstood ns opposing
appropriations for (lie support of pub
lic schools, but. we insist that this charge
upon the ■State's bounty should be kept
within bounds and not given u larger
share of the funds collected annually
from the taxpayers than is apportioned
to other public charges equally deserv
ing und equally in need of support.
As a matter of fact the Htate’s Ilium-
s’inl condition is such ns to cause serious
••oncorn, and tlm entire system needs
overhauling. This continual borrowing
from Deter to pay I‘mil cannot go on
indefinitely. Nor is the situation likely
to improve until we have a l.egislature
>yith, sufficient courage and common
senile to call a halt, on extravagant up.
proprintions, and limit the State's yearly
Expenditures strictly to its income.

...Mcmtans of the County Executive Com
mittee of the woman’s department of
thi* Farm Bureau wish to express their
thanks for tlie beautiful luncheon served
them last Friday by tlie club girls lioard-
iug at the County Club dormitory, under
the supervision of Miss Olivia Young.
It, was na Inspiration to us ns we went
1o our'task of preparing the county pro
gram for tills year; for wo felt that tlie
preparing of these dishes by tlie girls,
taught by our home demonstration agent,
uittl. the liemitiful manner in which they
served, was a practical illustration of
'flint county demonstration work is do-
lug when given tin- proper co-operation.
There is no possible estimate to ho put
•on the value of this work, nnd wo hope
the citizens of Coweta will realize tlmt
it-is one of tlie most effective means of
bringing our county to tlie front. Let
njl put our shoulders to tlie whocl cadi
organization coo; •crating witli every
other organisation tlmt stands for tho
upbuilding of our county—and not bo
satisfied until old Coweta ranks sec
ond to none in tin* State.

Some Facts
—For You to Think Over!
In times of prosperity when everybody has plen-
silk hosiery, and they want light, soft and airy
silk mosiery, and they want light, soft and airy
shoes. And, too, they want shoe repairing light and
soft and easy-wearing.
But now, times have reversed, and you want
to buy good shoes for service, and you want shoe
repairing for service and the longest wear. We
have these very things for you, and for your shoe
repairing demands, we recommend Korry Krome
and Panco soles. For service and long wear, good
and hard leather must be used. Soft leather is easy
and pleasing to wear, but the service is not in it;
and, therefore, you cannot get it.
If it is service and long wear you want, don’t
forget to call for Panco or Korry Krome.
