'Monsters Stalk the Capitol’
ATLANTA — Lt. Governor
George T. Smith says the
1967 Georgia General As
sembly handled the state's
largest-ever budget and re
appcu'tioned both houses,
but still have two “monsters
stalking the capitol” when
the next session convenes.
At a series of meetings
this week, the Lieutenant
Governor said the postponed
optional sales tax and the
controversial lease of the
State owned railroad both
are “tempestuous” and will
be top issues in the 1968 ses
sion.
Lt. Gov. Smith praised the
“most unique session in the
State's history" for its ac
tion in passing the $1.6 bil
lion budget—largest in the
history— and for realigning
both the House of Represen
tatives and the Senate.
“You can imagine the bat
tles that took place behind
the scenes over the various
budget items,” he told his
audiences in Athens and At
lanta. “Some of the educa
tional items that were elimi
nated must be returned if we
are to have the quality ed
ucation that our youth
need.”
In an address to a group
of University of Georgia stu
dents. Lt. Gov. Smith said he
intends to “keep on fighting
for more and more funds for
education” so that Georgia
can move toward the na
tional standards.
He said the familiar car-

would have given cities a 1
chance to cure some of their
money ills. It was postponed
on the final day of the 1967 i
session. r
The state’s second highest
elected official urged the ‘
young people to share their
thoughts with their Indi- t
vidual legislators. “You have r
between now and next Jan- (
uary to actively participate
in your state government,”
he said.

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE I
WITH THE ARRIVAL of warmer weather, we begin to
hear increasing talk of the possibility of more rioting and vio
lence in the streets, such as that which hit Los Angeles, Chicago.
Cleveland, and a host of other cities in recent years.
And, unfortunately, experience has shown that just about
every time there have been warnings that rioting would occur
unless demands for this or that were met, or unless militant
elements were somehow appeased, rioting did in fact take place.
It is almost as if people were told that if they are poor,
unemployed, or live in substandard housing, they have a right
to go into the streets and smash windows, set fires, loot and
run amuck, and that this is virtually even expected of them,
particularly when the weather is hot. And somehow all this
falls under the heading of so-called civil disobedience.
* * *
AT A RECENT conference in Washington of social work
ers and psychologists one of the speakers warned against "a
state of national emergency” unless action is taken to reduce
domestic tensions.
He called for a $5 billion federal crash program to prevent
what he said is the likelihood of “war in the streets,” and for
the creation of vast programs “to relieve physical and social
distress.”
This is of course an admirable goal, but money and big
new spending programs are not the answer. Billions of dollars
are being poured into cities now for health programs, educa
tion, manpower training, and anti-poverty programs, and this
has not prevented rioting and mob action. In fact, some of
the rioting has occurred in localities which have received a
lion’s share of federal assistance.
As I see it, the problem runs much deeper than just the
expenditure of more money.
» * *
TO MY WAY OF THINKING, it goes to a matter of
individual responsibility and respect for law and order and the
rights of others. There has been mounting evidence lately of
an appalling lack of these qualities.
In a nation as free and prosperous as ours where oppor
tunity abounds, 1 can think of no condition, neither poverty
nor anything else, that justifies rioting and taking the law into
one’s own hands.

Self-employed farmers
may now report two-thirds
of their gross income up to
$2,400 for social security
purposes as a result of the
1965 amendments to the So
cial Security Act. Previously,
the upper limit for optional
reporting was $1,800.00.
On a per capita average,
the farmer’s annual income
is $1,700. Other Americans
average $2,610 per capita.
Since 1959 nearly 200,000
