GEORGIA’S PROGRAM /s’*' ITo RE-CREATE /y empire/<£,,„ / V TATE °7 56Z /44n Ithesouth/ ,«r«t £>/ rrw w m 3 i M35%’ /, VtLJL aww \ 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.

Sitton Auto Service General Repairing Painting—Body and Fender Work (On Rome Road, Across Highway from Schoolhouse) r ELEPHOSE 470 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. HOLLAND NEWS. Henry Smith and son were guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Smith this week-end. Mrs. Vergil Medlock spent Tuesday with Mrs. Hill Clark.
