LEGISLATURE MOST CUT APPRO
PRIATIONS.
Atlanta. Pel). 2fi.—That the State of
Georgia may experience difficulty in din-
counting it* ru-hool warrants for 1921,
si*, now seems likely, ia furtlier evlilenre
of the necessity for cutting legislative
appropriation!! to actual revenue.
Recently the State invited hill* for
discounting school warrants for lil‘_’l.
The total aeliool appropriation for the
year is ♦4,500,000. The total aehool war
rants to la; -liaeomitc-l arc ♦9.500,000.
The Stute obtained very few bida, and
ull of thoao were at a high rate of in
terest. The lowest rate offered waa by
an Atlanta broker representing oertnin
New York banka. Ilia bid wn* accepted
Hiuee the biila worn opened, it now
develops, there i* serious doubt whether
tlie Atlanta broker will I* 1 able to han
dle the warrants with Ida New York eon
neetioim. The bankers uji there have
rend in the newspapers about the deple
ted condition of the Treasury, the grow
iug deficit Itetween revenue mid lexis
bit I vo appropriations, and have Rot cold
foot on Georgia's paper. The times lire
not auspicious for any institution, pith
lie or private, to sell its promises to
pay when its trensury is depleted.

fieleney appropriations, nod insist upon

islaturc, on n very conservative basis
lins iiroused -favorable coinuiont through
out the State. Taxpayer* generally are
net in a mood to countenance Icglslu
five extravagance.
The establishment of a budget system
ns ndvoeuted by Governor-elect Hard
wick, is another hurri'kIIoii meeting with
strong favor. All of the (lovsrnors for
the pnst ten years hove insisted on
budget system, bill the l.egislhtiires in
tlutt period have never been willing to
surrender their prerogative of making
(urge appropriations jtisl ns they pleased
mid to whatsoever departments arid in
Ht.itlitious they pleased,
The limited Slate tax raje of fi mills
us written into the Constitution during
tlov, Terrell's administration, has not
hnd the predicted effort of reducing leg
islntive iippropi'lnllons. On the eon
trnry, it linn furnished the Legislature
n convenient cover intiler which to tnke
refuge. With n limited tax rate the
Legislature can merrily proceed to up

Confederate ponsloncrs arc promised

lor the Treasury to pay them, the
money U not there and they must wait.
lVnsloncrs who became eligible under
n pension law which went into effect
last year are waiting to draw tlie #475,-
000 of pensions appropriated to them
for 1020. They will wall indefinitely.
The money In not lu the Troasury to pay
theih ami will not he there when the
Treasury is next henrd from, uncording
to State Treasurer Speer.
A newspaper editor hns written Treas
urer Speer to know if Georgia is a
bankrupt State. Treasurer Speer has
■written him in reply that Georgia is
far from being bankrupt, Kut on the
contrary is one of the soundest Stab's,
from a financial standpoint, in the en
tire Union. The only trouble is, he ex-
idained. that the legislature Is appro
priating mure money than the Treas
ury Is receiving in the shnpo of revenue.
The remedy, of course, is perfectly
obvious—so much so that any school
boy can see it: Natuely, for the Login
• iiiUire hi stop appropriating money iu
excess of revenue. Unless nud null! the
Legislature docs that, Georgia’s unpaid
appropriations, authorised by tlie Login
latino and due under the law, will mount
into million*.
If the State did not have a limited
tax rate, which cannot lie changed with
out a. Constitutional nmondme'ht, it
would be u simple matter to pay the
appropriations nutburir.cd. The Cover
nor, Comptroller and Treasurer evicli
yea i would apply to the tax digest
who are resj
meats—not tlie taxing authorities. They
are the one* who authorised the appro
print ion*. The taxing authorities havr
merely ls-cn trying, by taming tax nasess- j
meats, to'produce the revenue to pay
appropriations.
There are two ways, under laws now;
existing, to pro-lure revenue, and only |
wo ways. One*is to increase the State
x rate, which cannot lie done without
Constitutional amendment. The Other
is to increase the tax assessments. ,
Governor-elect Hardwick is ifmnrt
enough to know where the trouble start-
I—in tlie Legislature. He will, there
fore exercise the veto power, if neces
sary, to put n stop to n continuance of it.

MODERN MAIDS DEGENERATE
