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.
