‘ALL OUR PROBLEMS CAN RE
SOLVED BY BALANCED THINK
ING,” SAYS BUSINESS MAN.
ATLANTA, June 6 (GPS).—Atlanta
had a big business man in its midst th«
other day who believes “all of our prob
lems can be solved with balanced think
ing” and that “we are near to an under
standing between business and govern
ment than ever before.” He was Thomas
J. Watson, president of the Internation
al Chamber of Commerce and head of
the International Business Machine cor
poration.
Mr. Watson had no cure-all for our
economic ills, bu>t he did suggest these
remedies: (1) Remove national trade
barriers without going as far as free
trade. (2) Eliminate class feeling. (3)
Stop unfair criticism of government by
business and of business by government.
(4) Develop the nation’s buying power
and revise the distribution system so that
food, clothing and materials can be sent
where needed most. (5) Limit armaments
without complete disarmament.
Coining to Atlanta to receive an hon
orary degree from Oglethorpe university
at its recent commencement exercises.
Mr. Watson expressed his opinion on the
economic situation in a speech before a
large gathering of chamber of commerce
members. He was introduced by Alvin B.
Cates, chamber president, who presented
a merit certificate to Charles F. Palmer
for his excellent work as president of
the Atlanta chamber during 1938.

Refrigerating Unit
Importance Stressed
ATHENS, Ga., June 6. —The import
ance of a refrigerating unit in a com
munity agricultural program is describ
ed by L. M. Sheffer, state supervisor of
agricultural education, in an article in
the current issue of the Georgia Agricul
turist, University of Georgia publication.
The vocational school in the communi
ty, Mr. Sheffer points out, should pro
vide certain facilities which are not us
ually found on home farms, and he
stressed the necessity for a canning
plant, a shop for wood and iron work, and
a refrigerating unit as three essentials.
Mr. Sheffer cited the successful use of
a refrigerating unit at the La Fayette
High school and at Clarkesville. Each of
the units, he said, made possible th'
storing of more than 17,000 pounds of
meat and vegetables at a cost of less
than S4O. He predicts that "with the
expansion of rural lines into the rural
communities of the state, much of the
food products now put in cans will no
doubt, be frozen.”

ROME-ALABAMA
HIGHWAY PAVING
WORK IS BEGUN
LEDBETTER-JOHNSON FIRM AP
PARENT LOW BIDLER ON SUM
MERVILLE-.MENLO PROJECT.
(Rome News-Tribune.)
Work on the paving of a 4.2-mile
stretch of the Rome-Alabama road was
begun Tuesday by Ledbetter-Johnson, of
Rome, contractors on the project, it was

today by Nevin Patton, area supervisor
of the Georgia State Employment service,
which will provide for 4.2 miles of th?
highway, with the Coosa community to
be about th» center of the new paved
stretch. With this link completed, around
twelve miles of the route between Rome
and the Georgia-Alabama line will re
main to be paved, as part of a program
for an all-paved highway into Alabama
b.v way of Coosa. Plans are also under
way for completing the paving on tin
Alabama part of Ihe highway.
Summerville-Menlo Road.
The Ledbetter-Johnson firm is also ap
parent low bidder on a Chattooga county
paving project which calls for paving of
over four miles on the highway toward
Menlo, beginning at the Summerville city
limits. The local firm’s bid on this work
was $37,000, it was stated. Around 200
uen will be needed to carry out this im
provement. it was estimated. The Rome
office of the Georia State Employment
service, which serves both Floyd and
Chattooga counties, will furnish the labor
>n the project, it was announced.

months of 1939 totaled $21,561,000,000.
a gain of 2 per cent, over the correspond
ing period of last year, the commerce
dtpa r tin en t es tima t ed.
A continuation of the same increase
over 1938 would result in a national in
come this year of $65,600,000,000. com
pared with $65,200,000,000 for 1938.
Included in national income are all
payments to individuals —wages, salaries,
dividends, interest, income from enter

cent, above the 1938 low of 80.4, record
ed last May.
Teachers Present
Tenant Solution
ATLANTA, June 6.—M. D. Mobley,
tale director of vocational education,
'turned this week from Washington, D.
’.. after presenting to the federal admin
stration a solution to the southern ten
ant problem proposed by Prof. H. B
Franklin. vocational agriculture teacher
i the Moultrie High school.
An amendment to the farm tenant hil
how in congress was proposed by Mr.
Franklin and Mr. Mobley in which voc-i
ional agriculture students reaching th
>ge of 21. and having received at least
i wo years of training, would he financed
'o the extent of land, live stock, and
quipment.
Mr. Mobley stated that the weakness
of vocational agricultural teaching in th-’
past has been that in most instances well
rained students, were forced "to return to
"nant farms under the same old condi
tions for want of an opportunity to
branch out for themselves.
It has been learned on reliable author
ity that the proposed amendment has re
ceived tlie support of the Georgia sena
tors and congressmen and has been fa
vorable received by the federal adminis
tration.
Ralph L. Ramsey, director of the Bet
ter Education for Georgia movement and
secretary of tile Georgia Education asso
ciation, stated, “In my opinion this con
tribution of a Georgia teacher and rhe
state department of vocational education
to the solution of a pressing Georgia and
southern problem is deserving ot the high
est praise, and is a source of pride to all
the state's educational forces.”

Jinn- 10.
Harold Glymph. the tough Atlanta boy
arrived early Saturday afternoon, ready
for his ten-round engagement with Ray
McNatt. After it was announced that the
fights were postponed. Glymph gave Mc-
Natt warning that he had better take
advantage of this extra week of training.
Glymph said McNatt will be very lucky
to last five rounds and that there is about
one chance in a thousand that the fight
will go the limit.
McNatt would not make a statement
but the majority of the fight fans believe
he will have an even chance with the
talkative Atlantan.
The Espy-Swafford semi-final is be
coming the “big talk” of the card and
may surpass the main event in hard

The child was electrocuted when he
touched a 5()O-volt wire running across

HOUSE OFFERS PEAN
FOR FINANCING STATE
PLAN OFFERED WILL ADEQUATE-
LY FINANCE STATE WITHOUT
ANY NEW TAXES.
In its final report, made public Sat- I
i urday, the house economy committee,
consisting of five members, offered a plan
for adequate financing of Georgia’s state
government without levying any new
taxes, the committee contending that
present sources of revenue are sufficient
to support the Rivers "Little New Deal"
without impairing vital services.
This will be possible, the committee
said, through tightening of existing rev- i
enue laws, application of stabilization
funds to the general fund, pegging of
allocated' funds at the 1938 level, and
reductions of more than $1,500,000 in
operating costs of various state depart
ments and agencies.
The committee report made no specific l
allusion to the question of additional
taxes, confining itself exclusively to dis
cussion of the sufficiency of present rev
enues.
The News took the stand a few weeks
ago that the state did not need a sales
tax or any new or additional taxes if
the present source of revenue was guard
ed a little more closely and spent in an
economical manner. The report of the
economy committee bears out that con
tention.
Public records show that there are far
too many high-salaried officeholders in
the state, many of whom do very lift!**
actual work and secured their positions
through some political “pull” or trick.
If every useless job was eliminated and
the money deposited in the state treas-
I ury to pay legitimate bills, we believe
there would be no need for this continu
ous clamor for more taxes, increased
taxes and the ever-present howl that
Georgia’s deficit is alarming and that
nothing but the creation of new taxes
will remedy the trouble.
The taxpayers of Georgia would not so
strongly disfavor an increased tax rare
for a year or so if it was really needed
Ito get the state out of debt, with the
prospect that after that time the tax
I rate would promptly lie lowered : but
I with every year bringing a call for still
more taxes, the call upon the people be-
I coming greater every year and there be
ing no indication that there will ever be
I a chance to get relief from the burden
some tax drainage, it is no wonder that
the citizens are reaching the point where
they honestly oppose an increase in taxes
>r the creation of any new taxes.
If a man is working at a job and feels
j that he has reached the peak of his earn
ings and will never get a raise in salary
but must work on and on at the same
figure he has lieen getting for years, that
man has little or no infinitive to exert
his best efforts. It is the same with thi:
tax proposition—no prospect of getting
a reduction, but feeling that the nexi
year will still bring a higher tax levy.
So long as our taxes are so high that
they are a burden, so long as it takes al
most half of a farmer’s crop or half of
a business man’s profits to pay taxes,
■ust so long will conditions become worse,
just so long will homeowners lose their
homes and be forced to have their names
added to the relief rolls.
Reduce operating expenses by cutting
salaries, cutting out political "jobs,” save
every dollar of the state’s money that can
be saved, know that the money must be
spent before it is spent and know that
it is spent 100 per cent, for the good of
the people and we will see Georgia once
more free from debt and a lower tax
rate levied upon our property.

ROAD LEAGUE ASKS
GAS TAX FUNDS FOR
HIGHWAY BUILDING
WILL ASK ASSEMBLY TO MAKE
PROVISION FOR RAPID COM
PLETION OF ROADS.
ATLANTA. June 6 (CNSI.-rThe Cit
izens’ Road League of Georgia will ask
the general assembly, when it convenes
in emergency session this year, to make
| provision for rapid completion of the
. state highway system and to adopt a pol-
I icy of using funds raised by the state’s
i 6-cen.t-a-gallon tax upon gasoline for the
: construction of highways and their main
| tenance by rhe counties and the state
. highway department.
It was pointed out that more than half
I the state road system is yet unpaved, in
; eluding many important links in the con
l templated ‘county seat to county seat’
! system, and that unless this work is
finished definitely within the next ten
i years, it is doubtful that the system will
i ever be completed.
Within ten years, engineers estimate,
■ the need for reconstructiong of existing
I main arteries, and the rising cost of
I maintaining the growing mileage on the
state system, will leave but little money
available for new construction in Geor
-1 gia.
Many of the most vital highways in
' the state are beginning to break down
now because of the heavy traffic on them,
; engineers attached to the highway plan
l ning survey have informed the state
I highway department. The cost of resur-
I facing these roads will become a major
■ item on the departmental budget within
a short time.
The present high tax upon gasoline is
, defensible only upon the theory that the
I motorist is paying to build and maintain
roads for his own use. the road league
i asserts, pointing out that motor vehicles
j are taxed under our ad valorem system
• and must carry a license tag. thus con-
I tributing already an over-large share tn
the state and its subdivisions, without
considering the diversion of part of the
regenue from the gasoline tax.
AIRLINES.
The 35.006 miles of commercial airlines

FIGHT FILMS.
Jack Dempsey, the Manassa Mauler of

urge passage of a bill to legalize inter
state tranportation of prize fight films.
The 27-year-old federal law. he said, had
cost him “a couple of million dollars.”
The fighter estimated that the motion pic
tures made of his fights, if they could
have been freely transported and exhibit
ed, would have netted him that amount.
