CHILDREN? Is it fair to our children to iin[>rril their schooling? Shall we penalize them for the sake of what the gasoline pipe line interests call "progress'’? Why jeopardize the $691,541 paid hy the railroads in Georgia in county-wide and school district taxes in 1939, which was sufficient to provide a year's educa tion for 15,192 children, for the uncertain return in taxes from gasoline pipe line companies and the certainty that their build ing will inppie the railroads and probably result in the total abandonment of nnremuneraticc rail lines in Georgia? Ap proximately 460 miles of railroads in this State, with an as sessed value in 1928 of $2,959,900, have been abandoned in - tin' last ten years. The $691,541 mentioned arc not all the school taxes which the railroads paid in 1939, for a substantial part of the $383,379 paid to municipalities also went for school purposes. In addi tion, 47[e of the State advalorem tax of five mills goes to the schools and this, in the case of the railroads in the year 1939, amounted to $185,761. Then, too, under the provisions of an Act ol 1939 (Acts 1939, page 399) a substantial portion of the . omul amount of $540,000.00 received by the State for the rental of the Western & Atlantic Railroad is to be used for school purposes. Do not be deceived in the belief that "yon can eat your cake and keep it too,” and that the taxes you may receive from the pipe lines will be in addition to those now paid by the rail loads. Value of railroads for tax purposes depends largely upon earning capacity, as is evidenced by the fact that the earning capacity of the railroads in Georgia decreased 22.92' /( per mile in 193 9 as com par til with 1928, and, consequently their assess ment per mile was cut exactly one-third, or a decrease in iax abh mine of 1.4 5% for every 1% decrease in earnings. Based upon the assessment per mile of similar property pf a natural gas pipe line company in Georgia, and adding 25% thereto as a matter of liberality, we have made a careful esti mate of the taxes which the Southeastern Pipe Line Company would have paid in 1939 in the twenty-four counties through which it proposes to operate, had it been in existence that year. Wc give these figures, and in a parallel column what the rail roads paid per mile for the same purposes throughout the Stale for that year: * Southeastern Pipe lain- Company Railroads State purposes $ liS 68 County-wide purposes 5 [ County-wide and scfiool purposes 30 119 Municipal purposes q r ° TAL •> 97 $459 Railroad abandonments plus decreased earnings unquestion. °’ y u ’ ,U mcan less tax revenue and poorer service. Make your own (adulations and see what a small percentage you 'can afford to hare the railroads lose, before what you at first thought a Messing heroines a curse. Can you as citizens, afford to sanction a gasoline pipe line which would thus jeopardize our school system—and which, as explained m previous advertisements, would also result in serious losses in other county and State taxes, in loss of jobs to thousands, in devaluation of the State’s interest in its W. & A Railroad, and other losses equally as disastrous? r t?l\ ° r Ji° y ° UT candidatcs f° r *be State Legislature.
