Despite reductions, here and there, on
grants to some departments, it is appar
ent that the general assembly will reject
any idea of curtailing ‘The Program’ so
drastically as to destroy it. In the main,
the act of 1939, making appropriations
for the two years ending June 30, 1941.
will carry grants approximating those of
the past fiscal year.
In following this policy, the assembly
will be carrying out the expressed wishes
of the members’ constituents, who have
voted repeatedly for progressive govern
ment and increased services for the state.
No man, walking into a store to buy
articles to make his home a better place,
a more comfortable place, in which to
live with his family, expects to get a ham,

doll for the little girl and a kitchen apron
for his wife without cost. He expects to
pay for them. So can the citizen expect
to pay for the new and valuable state
services in the fields of public welfare,
education and health.
Continuing the analogy, the house
holder had, when he saw the total of his
purchases, three alternatives: (1) He
could tell the merchant he had changed
his mind, and let the merchandise go
back on the shelf; (2) he could curtail
his budget for repairing his home and
improving the grounds, and use the mon
ey for the new purchases; (3. he could
increase his budget, and pay for his new
purchases.
In the case of the state, it amounts to
this: (1) the state —the body of citi
zens as a whole —could have decided not
to ‘buy old-age assistance, a seven-month
school term, free textbooks and a health
program'; against this plan they have
decided definitely; (2) they can take the
money that is now going into permanent
improvements, roads and bridges, and use
it for current appropriation needs; (3)
they can accept a sales tax and pay for
their new services with the revenue de
rived.
Geoergians repeatedly have opposed
what is known as ‘diversion of highway
funds.’ They have, in fact, carried this
opposition to extremes, burdening Geor
gia with an inflexible, nefarious and
dangerous system of ‘allocated revenues’
that has been extended to many other
departments. The question, however, is
alive again in this assembly.
Candidly, much drivel is talked on
both sides. Opponents of ‘diversion’ as
sert that, if the ‘allocation system’ is
terminated, enormous sums in federal
funds will be lost. This is not altogether
accurate, if the highway appropriation is
fixed at twelve million dollars or more,
if paid in full — which, of course, can
only be accomplished through broadening
the tax base.
On the other hand, the ‘diversionists’
assert that road building could be well
curtailed at this time, and the gasoline
tax be applied to other uses. This is in
genius but not ingenuous. Aside from
whether financing the state largely from
a sales tax. at an enormous rate, on gas
oline is justified morally, Georgians in
rural areas know this to be the fact:
only the main roads, the great arteries
of traffic serving through-travelers and
the major towns, have been completed;
the roads serving the people of Georgia
themselves have not yet been built, and it
will take twelve or fifteen years more to
build these roads. The diversionists, of
course, represent either interests or sec
tions of the state that already find the
road system adequate. Regardless of the
economic distress, incidental to decreas
ed highway employment, or the social
and economic interests of other groups
and sections, they desire to stop repair
ing the house and stop improving the
grounds of our common home, the state
of Georgia, in order to pay for new
services.
This is selfish, but not vicious: these
representatives, in general, come from
dense urban areas that already have good
roads, but which need and deserve more
money for schools and aid to the aged
and dependent children. But other Geor
gians should not be misled into voting
against their interests. Incidentally, it is
these same areas that would pay most
into the treasury from any sales tax that
might be passed.
The remaining expedient is such a sales
tax. With the rate reduced to a reason-
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1939
WITH THE STARS
Vera Zorina, the star of “I Married
An Angel,” has been signed to play the
lead in “On Your Toes.” Miss Zorina
has appeared in pictures once before, in
"The Goldwyn Follies.” The studio hopes
to borrow Roy Bolger for the male lead.
Mr. Bolger is familiar with the role as
he played it in the original stage produc
tion on Broadway . . .
A French studio is trying to borrow
Isa Miranda to play the lead in “Dame
de L’Quest.” Ramon Na,arro is schedul
ed for the male lead . . .
“Tree of Liberty” is too long to be
filmed as a regular picture, and will
either be made as a trilogy to be booked
at intervals of a month or as an after
noon and night picture . . .
M-G-M has announced that Grace
Hayes, ex-variety entertainer, has been
signed by that studio as a successor to
Marie Dressier. Miss Hayes is 20 years
younger than Miss Dressier was at the
height of the latter's career . . .
Sybil Jason, a talented youngster from
Australia, was given a contract four
years ago and hailed as a rival to Shir
ley Temple. Nothing much was heard of
her thereafter, but she recently appear
ed in Shirley’s last picture, “The Little
Princess.” She was so good that she had
the offer of two splendid contracts . . .
Tyrone Power is glad to be through
with empire saving for a while and likes
his ordinary role in “Rose of Washing
ton Square” very much. With Alice Faye,
he sings ‘The Curse of An Aching
Heart” . . .
In “Let Freedom Ring,” Nelson Eddy
knocks Victor McLaglen cold without
duffling a stand of his, Eddy’s, hair . . .
Vivien Leigh, who plays the part of
Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the
Wind,” only gets SI,OOO a week for her
work . . .
Joe E. Brown believes in radios. He
has fourteen in his house, one for each
of the family’s four automobiles, and one
in his box at the Santa Anita race
track . . .
After two weeks’ work on “Rose of
Washington Square,” the director decided
that Marie Wilson looked too much like
Alice Faye and ordered Miss Wilson out
of the picture and some of the scenes
re-shot . . .
Nancy Kelly carries her mother along
on all her dates as she says she is too
ytning to go out unchaperoned. She will
be 18 in March and then she may ven
ture out without Nan, as she calls her
mother. She is much prettier off the
able 2 per cent., and with assurance that
die collection will be by tokens instead
of by the vicious ‘bracketing system,’ this
measure is not injurious or inequitable
to anyone. It will provide enough reve
nue for the state to operate at a maxi
mum of efficiency, without waste, and,
if the assembly of this and subsequent
years passes well-organized appropria
tions bills, it will permit the accumula
tion of a small but valuable surplus.
The program means too much to Geor
gians for them to sacrifice any part of
its essential elements, whether schools,
public assistance, health or highways. In
such matters, the old proverb applies,
“Progress costs money, but going back
ward is extravagant.”

Broadway . . .
Marlene Dietrich has at last signed a
new contract with Warner Bros., but not
at her old price of $150,000 a picture.
No figures were given out so it is safe to
say that Miss Dietrich is working for
much less than she did formerly. Her
first picture will be an adaptation of
“The Changeling” . . .
An unidentified Georgia worker has
returned a benefit check to the bureau,
accompanied by a letter stating that he
did not feel he was entitled to it.
“I have not filed a claim for unem
ployment compensation,” his letter read,
“and I do not feel I am entitled to this
check.” It was for a nominal sum.
