\ TO PAY ALL BUDGET/
How serious is the breakdown of gov
ernmental finances in Georgia? That is
a question that must interest Georgians
more deeply than all the other phases of
the controversy over taxation, appropria
tions and reform. Not to the exclusion of
other features, of course; it is impera
tive that we ascertain how much we
have been wasting in the past and how
and where; it is imperative that these
leaks be stopped. Until we know this and
remedy the condition, we shall not knots
precisely what we need.
But in the meantime, what is the
emergency? An examination of what we
must face in the three months that re
main of this fiscal year, and of what
must happen inevitably in the next fis
cal year, is necessary.
The state treasury is empty. The
greater part of the income tax money
will have to go to pay the loan negoti
ated some months ago to pay the teach
ers for January.
The departments, in general, must op
erate on reductions that may cripple im
portant functions.
In the department of public welfare
the condition is as acute as in the de
partment of education. It will be neces
sary to send back to the counties ap
proximately two thousand insane persons
now being treated at the state sanitari
um at Milledgeville. This will prove a
serious economic loss to the state ulti
mately, because some of these are on
their way toward being restored to a
normal condition, where they can be
self-supporting. But the budget cut makes
it necessary that only those of the in
sane who might be dangerous be kept
at the state sanitarium. Other phases of
the public welfare program will be ham
pered also. Old-age assistance and aid to
dependent children will have to be lim
ited to the most needy cases, and many
deserving families must suffer as the
rolls are reduced and as the individual
payments are cut.
The health department will suffer.
Through federal assistance, the state has
entered the Alto hospital, where the tu
bercular of Georgia are treated. But the
reduction in available funds leaves all
these new beds empty, because the state
has not the money to hire doctors and
nurses, or to purchase the necessary food
and supplies. The public health efforts,
which extend into every county, will be
curtailed, with considerable waste in ex
penditures in the past and with forebod
ings for. the future.
The university system will receive a
heavy blow. The board of regents has di
rected a salary cut of one-third, and the
future of the colleges is at stake.
The common schools are in a plight
that already attracted statewide atten
tion. Many systems face disaster, because
they have borrowed in anticipation of
full-payment of state appropriations.
Some schools are closing. Some schools
are risking not opening in September by
using their local funds, scheduled for
use then, to finish this session. Some

communities are resorting to unlawful
tuition charges in a frantic effort to
stay open. Some communities are taking
up public donations to pay their teach
ers. Many teachers are teaching without
pay.
This condition will continue through
the present fiscal year, which will end on
June 30, 1930. Fortunately, the end of
the common school term and the college
sessions will come before that date, and
their crisis will not recur until fall.
But for all the other vital functions of
the state government, the new fiscal year
will bring a repetition of these condi
tions.
These are the facts. They indicate that
there is a breakdown, and that it is a
serious one.
Most of the blame must be attached
to our failure to plan far enough ahead,
to our adoption of easy temporary de
vices to ‘get by.’ The assembly discover
ed that this system was wasteful, ex
travagant and indefensible. It refused to
follow it any longer and demanded econ
omy and efficiency and a plan for the
future.
New revenues will be needed to con
tinue the functions of government. But
better planning will lie needed first, to
insure the wise spending of all the rev
enue received.
An emergency session of the assembly,
early in the new fiscal year, seems inev
itable. In the interval, Georgians should
formulate a plan for reorganization of
their government to end waste and ex
travagance. They should prepare a plan
of tax revision that "‘ill pay the state s
bills. Unless this is done, chaos will con
tinue.

To date, Touring Reporters have
visited the principal cities of 12
Southern states; have asked 1297
users their famous question: ‘Did
CARDUI help you?”
Os those 1297 users, 1206 said
they were definitely beneficted by
CARDUI. That’s 93 out of
every 100. What a record!
CARDUI is a good stimulator
for lagging appetites, a real aid
to digestion and assimilation.
That’s why its proper use enables
so many women and girls to build
up physical resistance,-and thus
helps them avoid the periodic
pain of functional dysmenorrhea
due to malnutrition,

Kane Richmond is back again on his

with a movie troupe into Malay jungle
to be starred in 'Devil Tiger.’ He con

His first break since that time was a
part in ‘Tailspin,’ with Alice Faye and
Constance Bennett. This resulted in a
contract and a featured part in The Re
