WAYCROSS, April 23.—Addressing |
a large audlence at the session of the |
Btate Tax Commission here yester- |
day afternoon, Hon, 1. R. Akin, mem
ber of the commissiopn, and well
known busipness man of HErungwick, |
(ia., declared his hearty support ut'
the proposed constitutional amend- |
[mvnt to provide for a new system of
classification and segrégation of
property for taxation in Georgia.
| This statement was of especial in
terest to the bankers of this city in
attendance at the meeting, because
Mr., Akin at opne time appoged the
principle of classification of property
for taxation, and also oppesed the
suggested tax on bank deposits which |
has brought forth so r{\’uch nlimvusnlonl
from the bankers. aoth for and !
agalnst it. Mr. Akin was scheduled ‘
to make an address at the commis
gion's meeting in Savananh on Man
day, but when the session had to be
shortened on aecount of the centen- ||
rial celebration Bhe urged that his
acdress he dropped from the program
ip that city.
“Knowing that the hanks are pay
ing taxes on approximately 70 per
eent eent of their actual valuation,
which is a higher percentage of as
sessment than any other line of busi
ness pays in Georgia, I was at first
opposed to any movement which
would put a new tax on the banks,”
said Mr, Akin.
Changes His Mind.
“But the study whicl; 1 have made
of the situation, ag a member of this
commission, has convineed me that if
a smull tax is placed on bank depos
its——as low as one mill, and for State
purpeses only, as is suggested-—it will
nov hurt money or the banks in (eor
gla. And some radical revision of
our system of taxation seems (e bel
he urgent need in Georgia, either
the system of classification as pro
pesed by this commissior or some
other great change frem our present
antiguated system.
“lI bave decided, therefore to lend
my support to the plan of the com
mission for the passage of the pro
posed eonstitutional amendment. The
minor details as to what tax shall
be placed on bank deposits, mer
chants, ete., can be worked out later,
when the Legislature is givgn the
necessary power through the eonsti
tutional amendment. | gelleve we can
trust the Legislature to do the fair
and square thing. Bomething must
be done to allow Georgia to go for
ward. The present system is inade
quate to provide sufficient revenue
to defray the State’s normal expenses
and it alse contains gross inequali
ties, Seo I believe that the bankers
and othes husiness men also should
get behind this constitutional amend
ment and adyvocate its passage by the
next Legislature and its ratification
by the people.”
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey also ad
dressed the session of the tax com
migsion this afternoon, advocating
Improvements in the budget system |
of Georgia. He referred to the fact
that the State had heen exceeding her
[income for several years, and sald
that he called for a report from the
State Treasurer on April 9, whieh
showed that there Is a deficit of §l,-
437,467, :
Get Money First.
"I do not believe that the Legisla
tyre is an extravagant body of men,
a 5 some people have charged,” said
Governor Dorsey, “They are merely
trying to answer the crying needs
of State institutions for well -deserved
support. In my opinion, however, we
should not spend money before we
get it. We should have a permanent
budget system which will apportion
out the actual revenue of the State
aceording to the proportionate needs
of each institution or other cause, and
this revenue should not be exceeded
by the appropriations, no matter how
great the need. llf mare money ig
needed, as seems to he the case, let a
system of taxation he enforced which
will get the necessary revenue, and
then let it he spent for these worthy
causes after we get it”

were W. O, Thomas, secretary-mana

Secretary Baker
Your Crematory
City or Power Company?
Was selected by Woodrow Wilson.
Therefore his word will be accepted in Georgia, however dis
tasteful the word of a public official may be to the Power Com
pany, which, aceording to last reports, is eontrolled in Boston,
Secretarzr Baker can tell you what it costs a public official to
fight against a power company. e
Have you noticed throughout the war the efforts, at times
amounting almost to treason, to discredit Newton D. Baker be
fore the world?
Mr, Baker, as Mayor of Cleveland, made the fight which gave
that city a munivipaP’vlmetl'ic plant and put clectricity in homes
and places of business at a cost of three cens per K. W, H., where
you pay eight cents, more than twice as much,
We refer the unnamed anglineers of the Power Company to
the words of Mr. Baker when he said:
““There is a hizhle{ confederated, expertly organized, skillful
ly managed combination among the pri’vatel{r owned public util
ities of this country to pervert and mislead and strangle public
opinion on the subject. . . . . .
““I want to hold out to those who fear political activity in
munieipal ownership, that open activity is better than secret polit
ical activity; that it is better to have our adversary in the field
where we can see him than to have him hiding behind ledgers
and books that are closed accounts to public inspection, and
where we never know the extent or character of the forces we are
fighting.”’
In this connaction you will recall the refusal of the Power
Company to permit the City to inspect its books, N
Judge Wm. T. Newman, of the United States Court, appointed
a eommission to examine the erematory,
This commission consisted of Mr. J. K, Orr, of the City of At
lanta; Prof. J. 8. Koon, of the Technological School, and Mr.
Joseph Birene, of Gireenville, 8. (', one of the best known en
gineers in the South,
This commission reported to the Court that the value of the
steam going to waste annually at the crematory is $50,000 a year.
Mr. Frank Callaway, whose name has appeared on more than
one advertisement of the Power Company, was appointed Special
Master lay the Court,
Mr. Callaway reported to the Court— .
‘lt is a fact that the steam which is produced is not utilized
by the City in any way, but for all the time the plant has been in
operation has been permitted to blow off in the air.
““The steam so wasted is the equivalent of 500 to 1,000 H. P,
or 750 to 1,500 K, W. for 24 hours per day going to waste, If this
were utilized it would be worth nearly $560,000 per year,”
We have implicit confidence in Chief Jentzen, of the Sanitary
Department, in charge of the crematory, and in R. C. Turner,
City Electrieian, hoth of whom were selected hy vou, but, because
of the vicious onslanght which the Power Company has made
upon all of the public officials of the City of Atlanta, we do not
use the evidence of these men. :
We prefer to show the misrefiresenta,tions made by the Power
Company in its desperation by the words and evidence of its own
friends.
The Power Company has spent more than SIOO.OO to tell you,
that it has one new customer, the Candler Building.
It has spent thousands of dollars in helding up your city to
public scorn and ridieuling your offigials as being wholly incom
petent, if not dishonest,
But the Power Company has failed wholly to explain to you
why it is willing te oonginua paying to the City of Atlanta more
than $1,000,000.00 if the citv will repudiate its Mavor and all of
its officials, and refuse to build the generating plant at the crema
tory.
: %ut you can explain this for yourself when you know the
acts.
Richmond, Virginia, making its own electricty, saves more
than $100,000,00 a yvear, which Atlanta pays to the Power Com
pany.
';he_lanitar{ Distriet, a municipally owned slant, has fur
nished current to the City of Chicago for its lights at five-tenths
of a cent per K, W, H, : B
More than this entire page would he required to print the
names of the 1,850 cities and towns in the United States which
successfully generate their own electricity,
It is sufficient to say that in addition o the exorbitant rates
aid to the Power Company, the City has thrown away more than
1m0,000.00 by its failure to use the steam at the crematorK.
If the gouora,ting plant is now installed, the value of the cur
reu%produotd will be $131,400.00 per annum.
ow long will it take at this rate to pay the bonds?
When you vote today, will it be for the City or the Power
Company? !
