LETTER FROM S. G. “BROWN.
Lawrenceville, Ga., Nov. 2,1923.
There are a great many prob
lems confronting the American
people and if we all sit idly by
and let things go on as they have
there is no telling what the end
will be. One of the greatest prob
lems and the most vital problem
is that of taxation. The average
person does not realize the se
riousness of the situation. Our
politicians have been so interest
ed in gotting office and satisfy
ing their own selfish desires that
they have thrown on the people
laws upon top of laws that ought
to be off the Statute books. The
truth about it is there are so
many laws until one violates one
or more laws before he can turn
around. The greatest aim of our
lawmakers has been to pass meas
ures to help their own selfish end
and the people are having to pay
the bills and carry the burden oi
taxation.
Today there are outstanding
more than twenty bil.ion dollars
worth of non-taxable bonds, only
a few being partially taxed,own
ed by the rich who pay absolute
ly no tax whatever, which throws
the burden of taxation on the
people who do not own these
bonds. About one half the peo
ple in this country are paying ali
the taxes and they are the poorer
classes and the very class that
need some kind of relief, and the
other half are going tax free,
which class own the money ano
should be made to pay certainly
-heir part or the expenses to run
our Government,
Did you know that out of every
dx days you work all the money
you make in one of these days go
to pay your taxes? This is abso
lutely a correct statement, and it
you do not believe it I can prove
it to you. Just to think one has
to toil one day out of six to keep
up a bunch of people employed
oy our Government is a shame
md disgrace to a civilized nation
Not only that, if the thing keeps
going like it is and has been go
ng, you will have to work two
Jays in the week and so on until
your whole time will be taken up
working for a bunch of Govern
ment employees who ought to be
out working just like we have to
work.
Did you know, also, that one
man in twenty is on the pay roll
of the Government? Just t(
think one man draws his earn
ings and keeps up his famih
from the work £of only nineteen
ethers; in other words, nineteen
men are compelled to pay a sala
ry to one man and keep up his
family each year. If that man
gets two thousand dollars per
annum, and this is a small salary
compared to many who are em
ployed by the Governiuoiu, the
other nineteen men arc having
to go down in their pockets and
pay to that man one hundred and
five dollars and twenty six cents.
Do you not this is a wrong per
petrated on our citizens and that
there ought to be a remedy some
where for it? I venture to fay
that the average man in the state
of Georgia will not clear this a
mount of money in a year’s time
and in some sections where the
boll weevil has cleaned up the
farmers they are not making this
amount of money in a year’s
time.
These are some of the prob
lems confronting us and others
will be discussed later,

NO- 45
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 5. Mem
ber.:; of the legislature visiting in
Atlanta the last few days have
expressed the opinion that the
•hances of passing new[tax bills
a" the approach'ng extra session
ip) arently are growing”less and
e. sand less with each passing
day—if may judge by the gen
ual talk among the legislators.
Representative Whitney’s state
ment that he will will'move for
a recess on .the veryifirsCday of
the session'has been followed by
a prediction from representative
harles Stuart, of Atkinson coun
ty, that the extra session’will be
over in ten days.iTheseltwolmen
are leaders in a bloc, said to num
ber more than a majority of the
House S
The trouble Iseems to be, as
pointed out by lawmakers, there
are so many different tax plans
under consideration that it will
take all the winter for the va
rious groups and leaders to reach
a compromise—if’such a compro
mise were possible.
Comptroller General Wright’s
statement that Georgia does not
need anew system of taxation
so much as to tighten nuts on
the prefent machinery, has, it is
shown, thrown cold water onfthe
tax reformers. Colonel Wright
has been at the head of Georgia’s
tax collecting department for 40
years. He has seen legislatures
and administrations come and go
t'er a long time, His opinion is
that the is sound
and that the real burden is the
city and county taxes.
Atlanta, Ga , Nov. 5.—A gen
eral shake up of the Georgia
Public Service Commission is ex
pected at the session of the leg
islature next year, if not before,
as the result of alleged friction
existing between members of
that body, it is rumored in polit
ical circles here,
Since charges and counter
charges of certain members of
the commission during the last
few months, which occupied con
uderable space in the newspa
pers, legislators are said to be
keeping check on certain phases
of proposed legislation.
Legislators, who have discuss
ed the situation in capitol and
notel lobbies in Atlanta, take the
position that the entire commis
sion should be composed of men
vf special training and expe
rience, with expert knowledge
Knowledge of the mony intricate
and technical subjects coming
under their observation; in other
words, they should not be politi
cal plums.
Reduction in the membership
of the commission from five mem
bersj to three members, which
has been proposed in the past,
is still a subject of discussion.
Whether or not two commission
ers whose terms are next to ex
pire will have opposition is not
definitely known at present, al
though a number of probable
candidates have been mentioned

Mr. W. R. Blackston, of the
