Fight Counties to swap
standing on unit
Concentration of 22 Ballots Seen
In Atlanta Area Under New
Census Count
By William M. Bates
United P Staff Correspondent
(From Atlanta Journal)
Eight Georgia counties
swap county unit standings
the basts of the U. S. Census re¬
ports, resulting in the
tration of 22 unit votes in a
of four counties in the
area.
Cobb county will replace
Troup as a six-unit county un¬
der the state’s uniaue county-
unit- svstem. And Tift, Clayton
and Chattooga will replace Me¬
riwether, Emmanuel and Worth
or four-unit counties.
This shift in the county
standing, which must be done in
compliance with the State Cons-
titrtion, will result in the
sing of 22 unit votes in
counties in the Atlanta
Fulton and DeKalb now
r ix units each. Cobb on
north will have six and
on the south four.
Secretary of State Ben
Fortson said the
ment must be dene by the
gislature that meets after
sus results are announced
ficially by the President. If
sident Truman makes the
lation count officials this
the January Legislature will
th° job.
A rigid formula for
merit of the state’s 205
sentatives is laid down bv
Constitution. The eight
counties automatically get
seats in the House, the next
largest get two each and the
maining 121, one each.

general conclusion.
We offer the figures to
one point which is this:
So long as Georgia elects
the present system and a
ty’s unit vote goes to the
date who gets a plurality,
will have special appeal to
class of voters and we will
bloc voting.
When the townspeople

and townspeople usually
that—the candidate who
win the support of the
folk will achieve the victory.
It appears that Mr.
won last week’s primary in
lar vote as well as in
unit vote, although the race
close by one reckoning and
whelming by the other.
But the victory was gained
an appeal to a group of
who regard themselves as
class, and who vote pretty
as a block.

Sweep For Talmadge
Harris says Talmadge
Needs Income Tax
Hike Sales Levy
‘Lots of Money’ Must for Pro¬
gram; Estimates Budget for
.$175,000,000
(Frcm Atlanta Journal)
Augusta political leader
Roy Harris said Monday a hike
in state income taxes plus
“some new special taxes” will be
required along with a sales tax
to finance Governor Herman
Talmadge’s program next year.
Harris, who masterminded
Talmadge’s successful bid for
governor against M. E. Thomp¬
son, said a state budget of
$175,000.000 will be necessary to
carry out the Talmadge pro¬
gram.
He pointed out that Talm.
adge’s platform called for fi¬
nancing of the full minimum
foundation program,
of present state highway spend¬
ing and increasing the state’s
old age assistance program.
“I say to you that we cannot
do the job without a sales tax,”
Harris wrote in Monday’s edi¬
tion of his weekly paiper.
“The state is going to have to
raise a lot of money, and it is
going to take an increase in the
income tax, as well as a sales
tax, and it is going to take the
levying of some additional and
new special taxes to produce the
amount necessary."
He did not say what "new
and special taxes” would have
to be levied.
Harris said state income, af¬
ter the emergency tax hike
pires July 1, will be around $100-
000,000. He said this will leave
around $65,000,000 a year in
new taxes.
He said Talmadge “Will have
a hard time in the next four
years.”
“He faces a difficult problem
And he is going to need all the
help that he can get,” Harris
said.
Harris, proposed a “two-year
vacation from politics, and that
everybody join together and
let’s do this job."
