HOME-GROWN FRUIT
Less than five percent of the
people of Georgia have access to
Georgia-grown, tree-ripened fruits,
according to horticulturists of the
State Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Demand for locally-grown
fruit in Georgia is much greater
than the supply.

Why New Taxes?
I The following statement was fof
! warded to the Home Journal by the
Georgia Automobile Dealers’ Asso
| ciation.
From whence comes all this de
mand for $31,000,000.00 additional
state taxes in Georgia?
Do the people of Georgia know
that in the war year of 1942 operat
ing expenses of the state were $41,-
017.76fi.25, and that for 1946 this
figure has risen to $78,971,693.63
an increase of almost $38,000,000.00?
Jo the pixp know that the total
revenue receipts of the state for
’946 were more than $85,000,000.00?
Do they know that it is now being
proposed to levy $31,000,000.00 ad
ditional taxes on the people of
Georgia, in spite of the fact that
the state budget for the present
fiscal year, including $13,443,025.00
to cover the 50% increase in teach
ers’ salaries, is $90,745,563.03,
Do the people know that the pro
posed gross receipts tax bill, which
has been sent to the legislators,
would levy an additional heavy tax
burden on everybody who earns in
excess of $1,000.00 per year? Do
they know that this bill provides
‘he same $1,000.00 exemption for
ach individual working for a sal
ary or wages, regardless of whether
he i& single or is married and has
i number of dependents? Do they
know that the individual with a
>mall income would pay exactly the
same rate of tax as the individual
with a large income?
Tax Real Estate
Do the real estate owners know
that this bill would levy a tax on
the selling price of any piece of
real estate, without deductions of
any kind—that if the property were
sold at a loss the tax would still
apply, thus increasing the loss?
Do the wholesalers and retailers
know that this bill levies a tax on
their gross receipts, without regard
to whether the business is operat
ing at a profit or at a loss?
Do the people know that a sales
tax bill has been sent to the legis
lators, which proposes to tax them
5% on each and every item they
buy, with just a few exceptions?
Do the people know there is a

A GOOD FRIEND ALL ALONG THE LINE
HOME JOURNAL, Ferry, Ga. Jan. 23, 1947
strong possibility that the Federal
Government will provide funds to
aid education; and that if this
done, Georgia might receive as
much as $12,000,000.00 or $15,000,-
000.00 annually from this source?
Revenue May Rise
Industries are coming to Georgia
in ever-increasing numbers, and
isn't it entirely possible tnat tax
revenues will continue to r Tease?
But will industries be so interested
in coming to Georgia if confronted
with those heavy proposed addi
tional taxes?
With cash on hand of about $65,-
000,000.00 as of September 30, 1946
against which reserves have been
set up to take care of future matur
ing obligations; and with state in
come running at an annual rate in
excess of $85,000,00.00, and con
stantly increasing, just, why should
there be all this talk of an addi
tional $31,000,000.00 tax bill?
Wouldn’t it be interesting to see
what would happen if the legisla
ture were to pass a $31,000,000.00
additional tax bill, and let the peo
ple vote on it, unclouded by any
other issue?
FARM FIRES
At least half of all farm fires are
due to faulty construction, engi
neers of the Extension Service esti
mate. It is compartively easy to
stamp out structural hazards when
new homes and other farm build
ings are planned or when buildings
are remodeled. Fire-resistant ma
terials and construction are a step
in the right direction.
