CITIZENS OF GEORGIA!
Beware of the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
When you go to the polls on November 3rd
the lengthy ballot will contain seven pro
posed amendments to the State Constitution.
» Amendment No. 1 is the only amendment
affecting taxes to be voted on. It is the
most dangerous, radical and revolutionary
constitutional amendment that has ever been
proposed to the people in this or any other
state since the signing of the Declaration of
Independence.
Amendment No. 1, if adopted, WOULD DE
STROY OUR SYSTEM OF LOCAL GOV
ERNMENTS. Ask your Justice of the Peace
or any lawyer to let you read all of this
proposed amendment in the “Laws of 1935”
on Pages 1240, 1241, 1242 and 1243, and
you will find it contains confusion and un
certainty in several of the seventeen para
graphs. Unless you have read and studied
the meaning and effects of the complete act
the few lines on the ballot will mean but
little to you.
Amendment No. 1, as printed on the of
ficial ballot in brief, is as follows:
(X FOR ratification of amendment to para
-1 graph one (1). section two (2). article
I seven (7) of the constitution classifying
/ properties for purposes of taxation, etc.
JL /M \ AGAINST ratification of amendment to
/ W I paragraph one (1), section two (2). article
| I seven <7) of the constitution classifying
\ / properties for purposes of taxation, etc.
Vote against the amendment by placing
cross mark (X) in the bracket opposite the
word “AGAINST.” as shown above.
Amendment No. 1, the only tax amend
ment to be voted on, should be killed for the
following reasons:
It would mean a certain increase in taxes
of the city home owner, farm owner, ten
ant wage earner, merchant and other busi
ness men. CAUSING ABOUT NINETY PER
CENT OF THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA TO
PAY MORE DIRECT AND INDIRECT
TAXES THAN ARE NOW BEING PAID.
Don’t be the goat!
XBE SURE YOU VOTE AGAINST
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 1

The idea in this proposed amendment is
a product of demagoguery, would-be dic
tators and professional lobbyists. Its orig
inators are not even citizens of Georgia.
Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
It would exempt owners of stocks, bonds
and other intangibles from taxation by
counties, cities and schools.
It would save non-resident owners of real
estate approximately $5,000,000 annually in
taxes.
It would reduce the revenue to the state
and schools on corporate franchises several
hundred thousand dollars annually.
IT WOULD MEAN THAT A GENERAL
SALES TAX IS CERTAIN TO FOLLOW be
cause it would be necessary for citizens of
Georgia to make up this loss of revenue,
amounting to approximately $17,000,000 an
nually.
It would repeal the uniformity clause in
the Constitution, nullify and modify other
clauses and make meaningless, hundreds of
Srnreme Court decisions.
It would, no doubt, be followed by years
of litigation. The confusion and uncertainty
that would naturally follow would nlace the
state, countv, municipal and school govern
ments in jeopardy, and chaos would be
ce-tnin.
Real Estate and ajl classes of nersonal
would have to be assessed at one
hundred ner cent of its real value as pro
vided by the law.
It would turn the Legislature loose to tax
as it Dioases —the method—the manner—the
kina and the decree, whether uniform or not.
There are other ramifications far too
to detail here which could, and
nrohablv would, result if Amendment No.
1 -houid pass.
We are informed that an overwhelming
majority of the members ot the Legislature
who voted to submit the Amendment are
now against it.
