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. HOME BUILDING UP. NEW YORK.—Home building thru out the nation for the past four months has been rising at the fastest pace since the boom year 1929.

N ame ———— Address ~ City -. .... ——* State.— My Beautician • 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. BIBLE QUESTIONS By THOMAS I). LYNN. Q.

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. BATTLESHIPS.
