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.” Railroad Freight Gains 657,833 Cars ATLANTA.

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.

STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL HAPPENINGS. $1.50 A YEAR 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 in this country will be increased by 14,- 000 miles if the civil aeronautics author ity grants all the applications before it. FIGHT FILMS.
