WHEREAS. Governor Eugene Tal-
nadec during his term as governor
of Georgia has:
(1) failed utterly to keep his
campaign pledges fo 1932 made to
railroad workers of Georgia when
soliciting their votes in that he has:
fa' failed “to see that commercial
user? of our roads are strictly
i. ted as to their financial responsibi-
litr. etr.-
rb) failed “to see that the weight
iof trucks and* busses) will be
riuced so they will not destroy
roads: that their size will be lmited
so they cannot crowd us off the
roads, etc.”
(cl failed to require that they
-nay taxes that arc fair to the peo
ple for the use of the roads, as well
a? for the upkeep of the roads”, al
so that commercial trucks and buss
es "pay tax«>s through every county
thr.-jgh which they operate.
Not only has Governor Talmadge
made r.o attempt to keep those prom'
i«c> made to railroad workers when
seeking 'heir votes in the 1932
naicn but in contrast he has:
(a) Given commercial trucks and
bu«es the greatest proportionate tax
reduction ever granted any indivi
dual or industry in Georgia through
reduction of their license tags to the
nr-e S3 that the lightest automo
bile or truck*pays. thus saving to
the operators of these giant
mercial trucks and busses in
dances more than $1,000 on each
license tag as compared with form-
K Payments to the state;
ib) Although admitting in his
1932 campaign that the commercial
tnjoks and busses should pay mare
taxes, including taxes “In every
wnty through which they operate,'

champion, and now states that

Governor, but that t’iey urge their
relatives, friends and acquaintances
to do likewise.

Electric Rates are now so low that there is just as great
