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.
