Hilgard further prophesied that
thi- hypotherical point will be about
.'iO miles east of St. Louis in the
year 2,000. This, he forecast, would
be just about its ultimate position
and the country could thereafter be
depended upon to maintain an ap
proximation of couilibrium, with
St. Louis as pivotal point.
From 1870 to 1900, the period in
which Hilgard said the population
center would advance 126 miles, ho
missed it by about 6.5 — it moved
119.5.
Prophecy Correct
He based his prophecy not on the
- unities at hand, but on a mathe
matical system he evolved. He fig
ured actual advances from 1840 to
1870. Two of three of these decades
he branded as "not norTnal", for the
first represented the gold rush to
California and the third the life logs
of the Civil war. He said it was
aa.‘t to assume that "disturbing
causes of such magnitude cannot oc-

correct to date.

OLD GOVERNOR’S MANSION
USED ON MAGAZINE COVER
"Tha Southern" Describes Old Build
ing u Picturing Ideals and Tra
ditions of Old South.
On the outside cover of the Sep
tember number of The Southern, a
New Orleans magazine, appears a
beautiful picture of the old executive
mansion of Milledgeville.
The column in which the building
Is described closes with these words:
"A little legs than a hundred years
ago—the same year that a stake was
driven into the ground to mark the
terminus of the Georgia Railroad and
the future location of Five Points in
Atlanta, there was erected in the
city of state affairs the magnificent
governor’s mansion, pictured on the
cover. With ita spacious drawing
room, its marble mantels, its richly
brocaded draperies, and its mahog-
ony furnishings. This old colonial
dwelling served for more than a gen
eration as the home of the state’s
chief executives—a harbor of the
South’s social customs and ideals.
The hou?e still stands, as shown
in the picture, keeping partly with
the traditions and ideals of the Old
South, which it »o long fostered.” ,

“ One Price to Everybody ”
TA
OR

Georgia our State, in common with the rest of us. is in debt.
Below is our present State financial situation:
1. Our school teachers are unpaid.
2. Our asylum for the Insane at Milledgeville has not re
ceived the money promised, and the jails in Georgia have
hundreds of unfortunates, who have been adjudged in
sane, but cannot be received in the State Ayslum for the
Insane at Milledgeville, because of lack of funds.
3. Our tubercular sanitarium at Alto has not received the
money promised, and cannot receive unfortunate patients
who ourht to be there.
4. Our State schools have not receiv ed their appropriations
and many must close down for port cf the coming year.
5. The various branches of the University have ndt received
the mor.ey appropriated to them. They have borrowed
against these unpaid appropriations, to the limit that tha
banks will lend. These branches are now commencing
to be unable to pay the teachers the salaries due them.
6. Our own Confederate heroes ore in want because tha
pensions promised them have not been paid.
Some State institutions have kept going by borrowing against
the money which the State of Georgia premised but has not paid.
These institutions have borrowed pH thev can.
A collapse cf their work is upon us, because the State (and
YOU and I and OTHER CITI7EN3 arc ihe StP-e) lias failed to
pay to them what was appropriated
This condition cannot continue.
Georgia can and mu:t nay these obligations.
BUT HOW?
At present the deficit cf the State is at least $6,000,000.
Where and how are wc to get the money to wipe out this deficit?
Russell suggested that it be secured by selling more W. & A.
warrants, but the rental cf the W. A. road is already sold to
1936 To discount er. mirth more warrants to pay the present
deficit, would mean to cIEccunt Ic:u;t crc-hcif cf the face of the
rentals.
Ark any bank about this.
Surely there is some better way then borrowing at a discount
of fifty por cent.
Then Russell suggested that some of the State’s property be
sold, but the Con-**' tier. of the State of Georgia provides that
the proceeds from the sale of any F>te property MUST be ap
plied to the bonded debt, and therefore could not be used to pay
any floating debts.
When Russell had to abandon these plans, he gave up trying
to solve the prebiem.
WE 3irST SOT fOOL OmSELVES?
The State’s promised appropriations have exceeded our tax
collections.
We are faced with lhh problem of temporarily diverting a part
of the State’s income frem the use that it has been put to, to pay
thr just, legal and moral obligations of the State of Georgia,
OBI ELI VE JfOMXE T.ZXE8
In very recent years, Georgia has received new and additional
revenues from the sale, by the State, of automobile tags. By
using, temporarily, the revenue received from the sale of auto
mobile tegs, LEAVING the gasoline tax for road building pur
poses, we can pay off the pressing end overdue debts of Georgia.
This done, our debt is paid—our obligations discharged—
and the income from the sale, by the State, of automobile tags,
can be restored to the Department which has heretofore used it.
WE ALL BELIEVE in good roads, and want good roads for
Georgians, but Georgians would be ashamed to build roads at the
expense of the unpaid school teachers, unpaid Confederate Vet
erans. and its unfortunate sufferers at the State ln&ane Asylum;
at the tubercular sanitarium, and other unpaid State institutions.
Even with this temporary diversion o r the automobile teg sale
fund, the Highway Department will still have fifteen million dol
lars, with which to build good roads.
EVERY DOLLAR FROM THE U. S. GOVERMENT
WOULD BE MATCHED WITH AMPLE FUNDS
FROM THE STATE, EVEN AFTER THE AUTO
MOBILE TAG SALES FUND WAS USt.D TO PAY
THE UNPAID SCHOOL TEACHERS, CONFEDER
ATE VETERANS, AND OTHER STATE INSTITU
TIONS IN DEBT, IN NEED, THROUGH FAILURE
OF THE STATE TO PAY THE APPROPRIATIONS
PROMISED.
Cai swell promises to pay the past due debts of the State,
through the temporary use of the automobile tag sales fund, with
out any increase in taxes.
It u for you to decide between—TAGS or TAXES.
