GEORGIA GOSSIP
■ ■
By LEONARD ROAN.
ATLANTA. —The economy committee,
in its report urging no new taxes for
Georgia and calling for a slash of ap
proximately $1,575,000 in appropriations,
last week dealt the Rivers’ administra
tion its death blow.
Like a giant ocean wave, the 500-page
report swept the last pillar of support
from under the already fast-crumbling
structure that once was known as the
“Little New Deal.”
The committee showed how Georgia,
with its existing $21,000,000 appropria
tion act, with deductions for proposed
economics could wind up its 1939-40
fiscal year with a $1,339,090 balance aft
er meeting all the year’s obligations. IN
CLUDING TEACHERS’ SALARIES
AND PUBLIC WELFARE BENEFITS
And there, my friends, goes the sales
tax !
And every other sort of new taxation
that would have taken more and more
money from the pockets of Georgians to
support the giant army of workers that
is overflowing the capitol building and
keeping in line one of the most expensive
patronage organizations the state has
ever seen.
At this wrting, it is a sullen Rivers
that flows back forth between the man
sion and the highly guarded portals of
the governor's office. He has threatened
to divert highway funds to pay back
teachers’ salaries, and that’s all right.
,too.
The report will meet with the approval
of the people and the legislature gener
ally. Everyone wants the teachers paid.
The schools must stay open. There is no
sacrifice too great to maintain education
al standards in the state, and of course,
none is too great to see that our aged
and needy are cared for, but—
The committee, after long and careful
study, says it can be done on just what
we are spending now.
The absence of a dissenting opinion by
any member of the committee is signifi
cant. The report was unanimous.
The economy committee has performed
the state a great service. Let's give them
our thanks.

POULTRY TIPS
FOR JUNE
By ARTHUR GANNON,
Extension Poultryman
June is a good month to begin culling
the layers. The hens that start molting
in June, or quit laying, might well be
sent to market.
Don’t place more than 500 young chic
kens to the acre on range, and 200 would
be much better.
An ideal location for a range shelter is
in a pecan grove. Another good location
for the shelters is in the shade of trees
along the edge of a corn field.
Be sure to provide the growing stock
with grit and oyster shell —the ‘hen size'
is best. (Grit will not be necessary if
the soil is rocky.)
Cull any pullets that are slow in growth
or appear runty and ragged. It does not
pay to feed the runts.
Mites are no problem with commercial
poultrymen, as they know how to keep
the premises free of them, but with the
average farm flock, mites are serious.
The secret of keeping the hen house
free from mites is not 'to let them get
started. If any are present, clean and
treat until every single mite is destroyed.
After that it is usually necessary to
paint the roosts with some good mite
remedy only once a year.
Just as there is no excuse to have bed
bugs in the house, there is no excuse for
a chicken house to be infested with mites.
As mentioned previously in these tips,
the best mite remedies are wood preser
vatives and termite remedies that soak
into the wood and stay there, such as
carbolineum, carbo soda, anthracene oil.
pine tar oil. creosote and gas tar oil.
This is coccidiosis time, so do not en
courage an outbreak by allowing wet
spots to remain in the yards or around
the waterers.

\ PAY AIL BUDGET/
/a • n \BILLS CUT y'
It is almost certain that the general
assembly of Georgia will resume its dis
cussion of state problems next month.
Two pressing problems wiill await their
consideration: the writing of an appro
priations bill that will provide for the
needs of Georgia’s various vital services
and agencies; the writing of a revenue
measure that will balance Georgia's bud
get.
That proper scrutiny of the needs of ev
ery department of the state is necessary
and important will meet with complete
agreement. The assembly needs to review
carefully the contemplated grants to each
department, so that every necessary serv
ice may be continued and that none of
the funds paid into the treasury by Geor
gia taxpayers shall be wasted. That is a
big job for the assembly.
That a new revenue bill must be writ
ten is understood by every citizen of our
state. It is not necessary to enumerate
the services that are being crippled be
cause of inadequate funds, so rthe recol
lection of the school crisis and the other
crises in department finances is too re
cent. The itfeople are willing to pay more
taxes, provided they are assured thalt tax
revision means tax stabilization and that
the money will be spent wise and thrifti
ly. Writing a new revenues bill is a big
job for the assembly.
Taken together, the new appropriations
bill and the new revenue act should ac
complish the aim to 'Balance Georgia’s
Budget.' It should end the hitter and hu
miliating experience of the ‘grandfath
er's clause", with its annual state bank
ruptcy and defrauding of creditors; it
should end the necessity of a ‘stabiliza
tion act.' by which the assembly admits
falsely that representative government
has failed and that a fiscal dictatorship
is imperative to save the last vestige of
honor and credit.
To ‘Balance Georgia's Budget’ is a
worthwhile aim. But it is not the 'end
of our obligation nor of our purpose.
For. after all, Georgia's budget has been
balanced in the past, always, by one or
another of two methods. That both the
previous methods have been unsatisfac
tory and that we now contemplate a third
that is more honorable has resulted from
unhappy experience.
Georgia’s budget was balanced once by
curtailment of vital services. Georgians
found that this extorted too high a price
in human misery, and by adopting the
broad program of public service now un
dertaken our people turned from this
method of budget-balancing for all time.
Then we undertook to balance our bud
get by dishonest methods. We taxed the
teachers of the state a large part of the
pay we had promised them. We taxed the
merchants who were foolishly credulous
enough to trust to the honor of our state
and its citizens, and then took refuge
behind the legal barrier ithat the state
can not be sued.
That the assembly, acting for the peo
nle that have hired them for a two-year
job of making their laws. will balance
<!ie budget of Georgia by voting a new
tax merely means that we shall have de
cided to pay our bills.
But Georgians must do more than 'Bal
ance Georgia's Budget'. They must plan
tor the future, to avoid a repetition of
this crisis. Evaluating their needs and
their perils on a basis of their past ex
perience, they must set themselves firm
ly against such makeshift devices as the
'grandfather clause, the ‘stabilization
the fleet topnotch in every respect,
but in order to qualify for the posi
tion of driver the men must pass
the St. Johns Ambulance course.
They are trained to give first aid
treatment in the event of any
emergency. Every highway unit is
equipped with first aid kits and
across the rear of each trailer ap
pears the following: "Driver is
trained and aquipped to render first
aid.” Bonuses are given to the
drivers when they complete their
first aid course.
Many a motorist on the Canadian
highways has had reason to be
grateful to the cleanly, uniform,
capable drivers in this modern fleet.
fund,’ the allocation system.’
To ‘Balance Georgia's Budget’ finan
cially is essential —immediately it is
more essential than anything else. But
the budget-balancing must be in other
directions than mere finance. For exam
ple. we need some explanation of why
attendance in Georgia schools by enroll
ed students lags behind other southern
states. We need to co-ordinate our pris
on system so that it will not be such a
burden on state and local budgets. We
need to be able to predict with greater
definiteness what we shall require for
non-emergency state expenditures in 19-12
and 1943 and 1944. without waiting until
those years emerge.
In short. Georgia requires some state
agency responsible to its general assem
bly that can keep every • department of
the state, executive and legislative alike,
informed upon state problems and state
needs.
For Georgians have had enough of cri
ses like the present, so disastrous to the
security and good-repute of the Elnipir o
State of the South.
