THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1939
A Georgia Program
One favorite solution for the fiscal
ills of any unit of government, whe
ther national, state, county, munici
pality or school district, is the bal
ancing of the budget through econo
mies. To the proposal there are al
ways two aspects. First, it must be
recognized that the plea for economy
usually comes from the political op
position and has distinctly a political
flavor. Second, there is a ready rec
ognition by the public that there is a
waste of money in governmental units
and departments, which by their very
nature cannot be operated as private
business enterprises are' operated,
although many striking instances of
waste in private enterprise should be
cited readily, too.
Many studies of the actual per
centage of waste in government have
been made from time to time, but
none of them are authoritative. They
tend to show, for example, that
there is somewhat greater relative
waste in state and city governments
than in federal and county govern
ments, and that, while the lowest
percentage of waste in ratio to total
expenditures is to be found in school
districts, that these units, aside from
the funds paid out in salaries to
teachers, are the most wastefully ad
ministered of all, probably because
they are headed by unpaid boards in
most instances.
However, such studies as have
made do not parallel the accusations
made by political advocates of econ
omy. Most of the latter concentrate
their criticism on “big salaries are
being paid and there are too many
employes,” while the actual facts
would suggest that the waste is in
cident to two quite other causes: (1)
inefficiency due to periodic turnover
in minor employes, partly through
political changes but more often be
cause of too low salaries; (2) a ten
dency on the part of all political un
its to make purchases upon a patron
age basis rather than on a free com
petitive basis.
All political units have unnecessary
employes, just as most private en
terprises have unnecessary em
ployes. Just as the private business
man hires, all too frequently, his son
in-law and his wife’s great uncle to
do the work that one more efficient
employe could perform l , there is a
temptation to any successful candi
date to employ in government a pair
of diligent campaign workers to per
form duties that a single employe,
with security of tenure in the job
and a slightly higher salary com
parable to probable earnings in pri
vate industry, could carry on. These
conditions are inherent in both busi
ness and government. They are ir
remeriable; it is not cynicism l that
deems them inemediate, but either
gross partisanism or unworldly ig
norance that sees a possibility of
remedy this side the millenium.
Superfluous employes, waste in
supplies and periodic education of
new employes to their duties, be
cause of turnover in the department
al staffs for one cause or another,
costs the state of Georgia about
$300,000 annually. One high state of
ficial, less optimistic, places the fig
ure nearer a half million; another,
whose department has seen few per
sonnel changes in several adminis
trations, thinks that $200,000 would
cover the bill. This condition could
be helped, perhaps, by removing many
subordinate jobs from politics, but
even then it is doubtful if the sav
ing would be substantial. And the
loss lacks a great deal of being the
$8,600/C<oo that the administration
says is neded to balance the state
budget.
Political partisans, however, ex
pend their efforts on a discussion of
the “big salaries” paid departmental
heads. For example, the chairman of
the state highway board is paid a
salary of $6,000 annually. Close bus
iness associates of W. L. Miller, the
present chairman, say that his per
sonal losses in the past two years,
due to staying away from his private
business, have topped his salary by
more than $15,000. His predecessor,
Eugene Wilburn, a prominent bank
er, lost approximately the same sum
devoting his time to the state’s busi
ness instead of his own.
Incidentally, the salary of the sec
retary-treasurer of the state high
way board, responsible for the expen
diture of nearly $25,00C(,000 in state
and federal funds annually, is $4,800.
What would be the salary of a com
parable executive in private enter
prise?
There is, of course, another kind
of economy that could be eliminated,
for example, if old-age pensions, aid
to dependent children and to the
crippled and blind were eliminated,
and the school term were cut from
seven to five months, the present
revenues would suffice. Georgians to
day are inclined to think these
changes would be unprogressive and
false economy.
It appears that the solution lies in
finding more money.
Gore High Sdhool News
(By Lydia Jean Willingham.)
The Georgia state patrol came to
our school Wednesday morning, Jan.
18. No, not to arrest anyone but to
get a safety patrol started in our
school.
We were told that many accidents
occurred every day, but most of them
happened during clear weather and
were caused mostly by carelessness.
From each bus two pupils were
selected to act as patrolmen. These
help in caring for small children
while they are getting on and off the
buses. Each of these patrolmen has a
badge so we can tell them from the
other children.
On Jan. 19, Dr. E. R. Leyburn, of
Rome, visited our school. He conduct
ed our devotionel and after the de
votional, Dr. Leyburn gave a very
interesting talk about Robert E. Lee
whose birthday was Jan. 19.
A most interesting thing in our
school happened Jan. 20. A moving
picture called “little Men” wiaio
shown in the auditorium. The picture
was more interesting for the ones
who had read the book, but everyone
enjoyed it and we hope to have some
pictures in our school.
The home economics girls of Gore
High school are planning to give a
play soon, so watch your paper and
be on the lookout for more informa
tion about the play.
The pupils at Gore school are sell
ing buttons to help people who have
infantile paralysis. A great deal of
interest is being taken in selling the
buttons.
""“ACCIDENT
EMPLOYES of the Georgia Power Company believe whole
heartedly in highway safety, and they are giving real co
operation to the statewide effort of public officials, newspapers and
private citizens to reduce automobile accidents. During the past
twenty months, they operated Company cars 15,902,977 miles with
out a single fatal accident. That is the record of Georgia’s biggest
automotive fleet, the familiar red cars and green trucks you have
seen so often, more than 700 of them.
This record, itself, is no accident. It is one result of an active and
aggressive safety campaign the Company has conducted for years.
Not only has it developed habits of carefulness among Georgia
Power Company people but it has also fitted large numbers of them
to be of real service to others when accidents occur. More than 350
of our 4,500 employes have earned standard Red Cross first aid cer
tificates ; over 1,500 others are now voluntarily enrolled in first aid
classes conducted by accredited Red Cross instructors.
On the highways and elsewhere, this Company’s workers are
enthusiastically helping to reduce the tremendous toll of public acci
dents — not only by their words but by their actions.
