WAYCROSS, April 23.-—Addressing i
a large audience at the session of the i
State Tax Commission here yester
| day afternoom, Hon, L. R. Akin, mem
ber of the commission, and well
known business man of Brunswick,
Ga., declared his hearty support of
the proposed constitutional amend
ment to provide for a new system of
classification and segregation 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 one time opposed the
principle of classification of property
lr‘-r taxation, and also opposed the
| sugrested tax on bank deposits which
‘2 brought forth so much discussion
“om the bankers, both for and
| agalnst It. Mr. Akin was scheduled
to make an address at the commis
sion’s meeting In Savananh on Mon
day, but when the session had to be
shortened on account of the centen
rial oelebration he wurged that his
acddress be dropped from the program
i that city.
*Knowing that the banks are pay
ing taxes on approximately 70 per
cent cent of their actual valuation,
which 1s 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 pew tax on the banks,”
said Mr. Akin.
Changes Mis Mind.
“But the study which I have made
of the situation, as a member of this
commission, bas convinced me that if
a small tax is placed on bank depos
its—as low as one mill, and for State
purposes only, as 1s suggested—it will
not hurt money or the banks in Geor
gia. And some radical revision of
our system of taxation seems 10 be
‘he urgent need In Georgia, ef*he~
the system of classification as pro
pesed by this commission or some
other great change from our prasent
antiquated system.
“l 1 have decided, therefore, to lend
my support to the plan of the com
migejon for the passage of tae pro
posed eonstitutional amendment, The
minor details as to what tax shall
be placed on bank deposits, mer
chants, ete., ean be worked out later,
when the Legislature is given the
necessary power through the consti
tutional amendment, 1 believe we can
trust the Legislature to do the fair
and square thing. Something must
be done to allow Georgia to go for
ward. The present system is made
quate to provide sufficient revenue
to defray the State’s normal expenses
and it alse contains groes inequali
ties. So I believe that the bankers
and other business men also should
¢t behind this constitutional amend
-s]'"( and advocate its passage by ths
next Legislature and its ratification
by the people.”
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey also ad
dressed the session of the tax com
mission this afternoon, advoeating
improvements in the budget system
of Georgia. He referred to the fact |
that the State had been exceeding her |
income for several years, and sald
that he called for a report from the
State Treasurer on April 9, which
showed that there is a deficit of sl,-
437,467,
Get Money First.
“I do not believe that the Legista
ture is an extravagant body of men,
as 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 ghould have a permanent
budget system which will apportion
out the actual revenue of the State
according 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. If more money is
needed, as seems to be the case, let a
system of taxation be enforced which
will get the necessary revenue, and
then let it be spent for these worthy
| causes after we get it.”

Secretary Baker
Your Crematory
City or Power Company?
Was gelected 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, according to last reports, is controlled in Boston.
Secretary Baker can tell you what it costs a public official to
fight against a power company.
Have you noticed throughout the war the efforts, at times
amounting almost to treasonm, to discredit Newton D. Baker be
fore the world?
Mr. Baker, as Mayor of Cleveland, made the fight which gave
that city a municipal electric plant and put electricity 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 engineers of the Power Company to
the words of Mr. Baker when he said:
‘““There is a highly confederated, expertly organized, skillful
ly managed combination among the privately 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
municipal 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 connection you will recall the refusal of the Power
Company to permit the City to inspect its books. E :
Judge Wm. T. Newman, of the United States Court, appointed
a commission 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 Sirene, of Greenville, S. (', 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 by 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 $50,000 per year.”
We have implicit confidence in Chief Jentzen, of the Sanitary
Department, in charge of the crematory, and in R. C. Turner,
City Electrician, both of whom were selected by you, but, be¢ause
of the vicious onslaught which the Power Company has made
upon all Q,Stha public officials of the City of Atlanta, we do not
use the evidence of these men.
We prefer to show the misrepresentations 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 holding up your city to
public scorn and ridiculing your officials as being wholly incom
petent, if not dishonest.
But the Power Company has failed wholly to explain to you
why it is willing to continue paying to the City of Atlanta more
than $1,000,000.00 if the city will repudiate its Mayor and all of
its officials, and refuse to build the generating plant at the crema
tory. : -
But you can explain this for yourself when you know the
facts.
Richmond, Virginia, making its own electricty, saves more
than £100,000.00 a year, which Atlanta pays to the Power Com
pany.
'ghe Sanitary District, 3 municipally owned plant, has fur
nished current to the City of Chicago for its lights at five-tenths
of a cent per K. W. H.
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 eleetricity.
It is sufficient to say that in addition o the exorbitant rates
aid to the Power Company, the City has thrown away more than
‘;250.000.00 by its failure to use the steam at the crematory.
If the generatingeplant is now installed, the value of the cur
rentnproduced 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? . a
