Georgia is fortunate that neither its
officials nor its citiens give over for
long to a hysterical approach to public
questions. Undoubtedly, in the recent
weeks, the disclosures of minor items of
extravagant expenditure in some state
departments for a brief interval caused
some speculation as to public sentiment
toward the basic program itself. This
was reflected in the attitude of a number
of legislators—until it became apparent
from the people themselves that they had
not reversed their belief in the objectives
for which they twice voted.
The appropriations act for the two
fiscal years, ending .Tune 30. 1940. and
June 30, 1941, will show some decreases

DEMPO DALTON,
TAX RECEIVER
in administrative expenses, but, in gen
eral, the measure will carry the same
provisions as the last enactment. The
measure is conservatively drawn. Most
of the items appear adequate, although
there is a possibility that the grants for
education are slightly below the actual
needs of the common schools and far too
low for the university system. Neverthe
less, if paid in full, the appropriations
act of the 1939 assembly will give Geor
gians every service that they require.
“If paid in full” —that is the signifi
cant factor. If, as in the current fiscal
year, appropriations are reduced by 44
per cent, by the budget commission, to
balance with inadequate revenues, the
“Program” will collapse. For the unmis
takeable sentiment among Georgians is.
“We want the ‘Program’ in full, or no
program at all.”
Unquestionably, new revenue meas
ures will have to be enacted to meet the
appropriations act. With every possible
economy taken into account, it will be
necessary to find seven million dollars or
more in new revenue to pay the bills of
the state.
This can be found only by broadenihg
the tax base. There are two measures
that would function in that way: (1) the
gross income tax: (2) the retail sales
tax.
Passage of the gross income tax in
Georgia is impossible, and the assembly
is wise not to consider it. despite admin
istration approval of such a bill. Indus
trial leaders view the gross income tax
with alarm, because of its possible ef
fect on the textile and other industries.
Economists, considering the fact that
Georgia has a net income tax that is
highly productive, doubt that the gross
income tax, because it applies to rents,
one of the largest items on the budget of
the average working family.
That leaves, as acceptable to the ma
jority of Georgians, only the retail sale 0
tax. The bill pending before the assembly
is, otherwise than in respect to rates and
the allocation of the new revenue, the
basis of a good law. It is not possible to
pass a 4 per cent, sales tax. nor, on the
basis of the experience of other southern
states with similar per capita incomes,
would it be possible to defend such a high
rate from criticism. A 2 per cent, sales
tax rate, the same paid in Alabama and
Mississippi, is within the capacity of
Georgians to pay at this time, and will
finance the ‘Program’ adequately, if
proper economy is practiced.
Such a rate will not permit some serv
ices, which, while desirable, are not ab
solutely essential. Nor will it permit,
perhaps, as large a grant to relieve the
financial pressure upon the counties of
the state. It will precisely finance the
present ‘Program,’ with negligible expan
sion of the educational services and the
health department, if every department
of the state government submits actual
economy budgets, prunes away every
function that is only decorative and not
essential, and makes a determined effort
to give the citizens of the state the max-

imum of service for every tax-paid dollar.
Os the present sentiment of Georgians,
on this question, there is no doubt. They
do not wish disruption of the welfare
program, the highway program, the sev
en-months’ school term, free textbooks or
enlarged public health activities. But they
do desire that, within the reasonable de
gree that separate public business from
private enterprise, the revenue of the
state be spent prudently, carefully and
economically—as a wise man would do
in his own affairs.
The legislature of 1939 not only senses
this attitude on the part of Georgians,
but seems willing to co-operate in con
tinuing the ‘Program of Progress,’ and
financing it economically but adequately.
