GEORGIA IS NEAR
5750,0011 DEFICIT
Extra Session of Legislature to
‘ Straighten the State’s Finan
cial Tangles Is Probable.
The probability of an extra session of
the general assembly to straighten out
Georgia's finances is becoming more
apparent each day. Unless the legis
lators recognize the true condition of
the state'.- treasui y Georgia shortly will
be facing a deficit of three-quarters of
a million.
In the face of the fact that the legis
lature is slashing the income to rib
bons and at the same time piling up
appropriations, county tax returns thus
far received by the comptroller general
are showing a decrease over the figures
of 1912.
Brooks county shows a decrease for
the first time in eleven years, attribut
ing the falling off id values to an epi
demic of hog choleia which has swept
. the county. Johnson county indicates
a falling in values for the first time in
a decade, and fails to return a single
| dog for taxation. The same situation
is true in a scope of counties.
The situation as summed up by
( Comptroller General Wright is:
( Cutting Down Revenues.
. "According to statements made on
the floor of the house, the present dc
, licit is $350,000. The enactment of tire
5 Tippins bill will increase that deficit
( by $250,00(1, making the total $600,000.
To this must be added the special ap
propriations to be made by the legisla
] ture. amounting to $120,000, bringing
j the total to $720,000."
The comptroller general's summary
, is made without consideration of the
. possibility of the repeal of the dog tax
t as contemplated by the Oliver bill oi
the senate's approval of the farmeis'
free list bill passed the house on Thurs
day. Roth of these measures will cut
I into revenue enormously.
In the face of this the house has
i turned down the Ashley tax increase,
-. intimating a magnificent disregard for
i school teachers, who thus fa: have re
t velvet! but twelve per cent of their sal-
I aim s for 1912. Only by dint of careful
r • xpi nditure has Treasurer Wright co, -
1 tailed enough cash to pay off the legis
-1 lators at adjournment.
NOT THIS MITCHELL.
Eugene M. Mitchell, attorney In the
Peters building, asked The Georgian to
state today that he is not the Id. M Mitch
ell who signed the call for the Bull Moose
convention in Atlanta Mr Mitchell is
still a ro<k-bound Democrat.
