FARM BUREAU WILL
SUPPORT SALES TAX,
WINGATE SAYS HERE
The Farm Bureau will back
to the utmost and in fact, will
; conduct a state-wide campaign
for approval of a sales tax in
Georgia.
This was the statement Mon
day by H. L. Wingate, state pres
ident of the Farm Bureau, as he
spoke ala Seventh district rally.
“We cannot have the school
system nor the public services to
which we are <oititled without
additional funds.” he said.
“Georgia is falling behind her
neighbor states in many ways
and this is due largely to lack
of funds for these essential
services.”
In the past the farm bureau
has fought the sales tax and in
changing its /lews on the sub
ject will support a consumers’
! sales tax.
“We will fight to the bitter
end a manufacturers’ sales tax,”
Wingate said.
He also declared that the state
administration has voiced oppo
sition to a sales tax while sup
porting and-pushing through the
state legislature additional taxes
on tobacco and gasoline.
“These,” Wingate declared,
“are sales taxes. The man who
buys a package of cigarettes in
Georgia today is paying some
thing like a 42 per cent sales
i tax. The man who buys gaso
line is paying a high sales tax.”
Approximately 300 farm bu
reau leaders from 14 counties
attended the rally which pre
ceded the launching of the an
nual membership campaign.
Last year. 3,600 members were
enrolled in the Seventh district,
and the goal for 1949 is 5,000.
W M. Storey, secretary-treas
urer of the Chattooga County
Farm Bureau and North Georgia
vice-president of the state or
ganization, advised other state
officials that the Seventh dis
trict would chal’enge nelghbor-
[ ing districts “to keep up with 1
us in this campaign.”
“Miss 7th District"
Miss Mary Ruth Rickett, of
Calhoun, won the title of "Miss
Seventh District’’ and will com
pete at the state meeting In
November for *he title "Miss
Georgia Farm Bureau.”
I In the afternoon. County
Agent J. B. Butler was in charge
of visits to outstanding farms In
the county.
Luncheon was prepared and
served by the County’s Home
Demonstration Clubs, under the
i direction so Miss Omie Wiley,

Construction costs of the ten re
cently-approved hospitals are
estimated at $3,428,370. It was
estimated the 32-bed hospital
approved for Chattooga county
would cost $300,000.

Chattooga
$1.50 PER YEAR
Solicitor General W. T. Mad
dox, of the Rome judicial cir
cuit, (embracing Chattooga,
Floyd and Walker counties) said
I this week that he has secured
a number of names of possible
: participants in the alleged mil
lion-dollar state-protected liq
uor ring in North Georgia.
t; While not at liberty to divulge
_ j the names, Mr. Maddox said
s > there were “a few” from Chat
e tooga county.
The results of the meeting of
the Fulton county grand jury
will determine what further ac
tion will be taken, Solicitor Mad
dox asserted.
However, he said, it appears
that prosecution will be forth
coming in Fulton county.
1 j “That county will lead in the
l >! prosecution and the other solici
-1 tors will lend co-operation
। wherever and whenever possi
ble,” the solicitor pointed out.
’. Georgia Supreme Court Jus
:., tice T. Grady Head was the
- first witness Tuesday as the
. Fulton grand jury began inves
. tigation.
1 Irvin Gilbert, chief of the en
forcement unit of the State
I Revenue Department, was the
. second witness.
Both declined to comment
■ when they came out.
Chastain Parker, solicitor of
jthe city court of Floyd county,
, accompanied Solicitor Maddox
. to Atlanta Monday, where they
. conferred with Fulton County
Solicitor Paul Webb and Reve
. nue Commissioner Redwine.
A number of other Georgia
, circuit prosecutors have said
. they would seek names of their
dry county residents and clubs
. who purchased liquor illegally
from an Atlanta wholesale firm.
Revenue Commissioner Rvd
wine said that raids on the firm
unco more than 1.300 actual
sales t , to d»w county pur
chasers. The files give the
names, date, amount and brands
involved in the purchase.
The average transaction was
for about $750 worth of whisky
—obviously for bootleggers. Red
wine said. He seid the list of
slips was virtually “a roster of
every bootlegger in North Geor
gia.”
