THERE ARE TWO ISSUES IN 1946
HONEST GOVERNMENT GOOD GOVERNMENT
Honest government means that the money paid in taxes by our citizens will be spent to
support public services. There will be no extravagance to hide the waste and theft of the people's
money. There will be no return of the day of an asphalt monopoly, of a schoolbook trust, of
roads that crumble because of inferior materials. There will be no backbreaking load of debt
created in the next four years as a mortgage on Georgia's future for you to have to repay,
with interest.
Good government means that Georgia will continue to merit the respect of our neighbors
in the South and of our fellow citizens throughout the Nation. It means that State government
will provide the best services that the State's income permits, and that Georgia will solve every
problem, whether governmental, social or economic. in an orderly, a dignified and a lawful manner.
Check the items below in which you are interested, and see Just what Jimmie Carmichael's pledge
of "Good government and honest government" means to you and to our State.
