THEY SAY
"Ye did run well." —Galatians 5:7a.
Paul had made converts and had or
ganized them into the churches of Ga
latia. The prospects for a virile Chris
tianity were very bright. Some years
later he received a report concerning
these converts to the effect that they
had been led off into an unfruitful path.
They had begun in the way of the Gos
pel ; they were now headed for the dead
end of the way of legal necessity. Hence,
Paid’s great concern for them : "Ye did
run well; who did hinder you that ye
should not obey the truth?”
Everywhere in life one can find wrecks
of those persons who began life well, but
they stopped along the way and have be
come dwarfed personalities, or they have
been allurred into away that seemed
more promising at the time but which
proved to be a dead-end way—a way of
disillusionment.
What if every one of us who started
out in the Christian way had kept going
along in that way? How bright the way
would now be and how wonderful the
scenery from the high peaks of Christian
experience we would have reached ere
now!
When the works of the painter. Millais,
were exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery.
Lady Constance Leslie went early to see
them. She met Millais in tears coming
away from viewing his own works. Said
he to her: "Ah. dear Lady Constance,
you see me unmanned. Well, I'm not
ashamed of averring that in looking at
tpy earliest pictures I have been over
come with chagrin that I so far failed
in my maturity to fulfill the full fore
cast of my youth !”
Many started out in youth to run well
but have failed in their mature years to
fulfill the full forecast of their youth.
Too many of these ale only grieving.
What they should do is to begin where
they left off or went astray and run well
again in the way that leads to the ful
fillment of promise.

\ BUDGET/
The house economy committee has com
pleted its work. The complete version of
its report is not yet available for general
consideration, so it is impossible to de
termine precisely what examples of waste
and inefficiency will be stressed in the
final summation. After the monumental
studies made by the committee, the long
sessions of testimony and the promises
of startling disclosures, the eventual re
sults were not entirely up to expecta
tions.
It is not essential to go into the de
tails o.f the recommended appropriations.
In the absence of dear-cut citations of
waste, some of the reductions, especially
to small, highly essential but politically
impotent agencies, appear unjustified.
Nor is it necessary to stress the fact
that the house economy committee in go
ing outside the field of its duties to ren
der such a report infringed upon the du
ties of the able, well-qualified and con
scientious appropriations committee of
the house.
But one phase of the committee report
is complete in detail. That is the section
devoted to anticipated revenues for the
coming fiscal year, which begins July
1. 1939.
The committee estimates that the col
lections available for the general fund
for 1939-40, the coming fiscal year, would
total $10,939,890.21. The text of the re
port justified Atlanta newspapermen in
stating that this was based on an esti
mate made by Tax Commissioner T.
Gratly Head.
An examination of the report disclos
ed two things : that the committee erred
in its figures by something over four
minion dollars, and that the figures were
vastly different frptn the thoroughly op
timistic ones submitted by Mr. Head.
Other phases of the report, including the
recommendations for four million dollars
in new taxes, appear equally erroneous,
and suggest that the committee, function
ing without an adequate appropriation,
should have been given funds with which
to employ a competent accountant.
Among items listed as accruing to the
general fund which do not go into that
fund were: liquor tax. $1,640,000; malt
beverage tax. $111,400: cigar and cigar
ette tax. $1,578,000 (an error of approx
imately $800,000); wine tax. $16,000.
In addition a staggering error was made
in calculating that the stabilization act
would give the general fund $1,605.
678.68.
The stabilization act could yield only
half the amount claimed, even on the
! basis of the committee’s inaccurate fig
i ores, before its expiration by operation
. of law on Dec. 31. 1939. In addition, the
committee, in its careless juggling of fig
, ores, added to the general fund 10 per
j cent, of the general fund as part of this
. yield, a method of multiplication of rev
enues and assets nothing short of mirac
. ulous.
I While the revenue commissioner must
be exonerated from any part in the set
; ting up of these manifestly inaccurate
I figures—the correct ones would disclose
a potential revenue of about $12,600,000
: as anticipated Mr. Head is at least
| partly to blame for the ridiculous rec
| ommendations made by the committee in
I: the tax field, whore, they assure. Geor
gians. four million dollars can be ob
tained by the wave of a hand.
An examination of one item will be suf-
I fieient. The committee, following the lead
’ of Mr. Head, states that $500,000 can bo
ibtained for the state from increased
revenues from the ad valorem tax on
. ! autos, if uniform values are estiblished.
I A breakdown of these figures will disclose
that it would require an average increase
. in assessment of $227 for each ear now
I licensed in Georgia to produce this rev
| enue.
; Would the average jalopy driven by the
| average Georgian on the average mud-
I trail in Georgia bring $227 if sold?
A careful item by item recheck of the
I findings of the economy committee will
I disclose that, as a result of their hear
:ngs. the deficit in Georgia's finances
| 'till stands at about $8,500,000. plus the
imount needed to make good the reiter
ated pledges to the counties of assistance
ii replacing lost revenue and the solemn.
. mrally-binding pledge made by the gen
■ral assembly of this state ii> its last
regular session to pay the schools the

SMALL GRAIN PLOT RESULTS
The small grain demonstration plot,
which was sponsored jointly by the Ly
erly chapter of Future Farmers of Amer
ica and the Arcadian Nitrate of Soda
company, has closed. The yields were
1414 bushels per acre where no soda was
used. 15*-> bushels per acre where soda
was applied at the rate of 100 pounds
per acre, 19 bushels per acre where 200
pounds of soda per acre was applied and
27% bushels per acre where 300 pounds
of soda was applied per acre. So we see
that it will not only pay to side dress
with sodaUbut it pays to use more per
acre.
In the guessing contest, which was
held in connection with the plot. J. O.
Chandler. George Bishop and W. T.
Hammontree tied for the award of first
place on the plot where no soda was us
ed ; H. L. Abrams won the cash award
on the 100-lb per acre plot; Mrs. Jessie
L. Bain and James Stanley tied for tile
prize on the 200-lb-per-acre plot, and
Tom Brooks and O. P. Dawson tied for
the award on the 300-lb-per-acre plot.
We hope that this demonstration has
been of some help to the farmers of bur
community and wish to thank all of
those who have co-operated with us in
making it possible. We believe that in
the future, every farmer will fiind it
profitable to use soda on his small grain.
