. State-Wide School Tax Law.
The amendment to the Georgia constitution re
~quiring each county Board of Education to levy an
nually a tax of from 1 to 5 mills for the support of
the pnblic schools was adopted at the election Nov
ember 2. This puts it up to each county board to
determine whether its schools flourish or drag after
1921. Heretofore many localities have depended
on thg amount paid by the state and have seemed to
expect to educate their children on that small pit
tance, &
The schools should now go forward by leaps andi
bounds. People will gradnally learn that their child
ren can easily be spared from the farm for eight orl
nine months and the compiilsory law will be after!
them if they fail to make good attendance. As a'
rule, the thriftier and more industrious people need
no eompulsion for keeping their children in school.
The thriftless and ne’er-do-well do. :
Twelves years ago Cobb county received but $16,-
000 per annum and the eighty schools in the county
were dependent largely on that amount to run them.
In 1921 the county will receive in the neighborhood
of 536,500 from the state for the support of its
schools outside of Marietta and Roswell, which do
business directly with the state and are not ineluded
in the above. In addition the County Board of I‘hln-l
cation will be called upon to levy a tax for the sup
port of the county publie schools, this tax . being
limited by a minimum of ONE MILL and a maximum
of FIVE MILLS. Thus, the board has considerable
latitude in its actions, ;
What effect the new law will have on distriets al
ready levying taxes for their schools is problema
tical. As we understand the law, these districts
stand intact, but have no power for levying taxes
unless the countty hoard fails to levy enough forf
their support, the county rate being county-wide.
In case they wish more funds than the board appor
tions them, then they may go to the limit of five

quiet, ;
The labor problem was one of the big matters re

getting labor was a problem. The problem of unem

With coal at $15.00 a ton, the joke is ghastly.
Did the Power Companies perpetuate it upon the
Census Bureau? S
We have in Georgia 80 more municipal electric
light' and power plants than private plants.
This excess of public over private plants is greater
than in any other State. i
. In spite of hampering laws, over 100 Georgia
municipalities operate their own plants in the effort
to supply light and power to the people. In ac
-counting for this the Bureau of Census says: |
.."‘ln Georgia it is customary to use waste products
from the lumber mills, which makes a very inexpen
sive fuel.” ' . }
Remarkable statement! .
Do you. know of one municipal plant using
‘“‘waste’’ from lumber mills to make steam to gen
erate electricity? _ .
On the contrary, you know— ‘
Many of these municipal plants have been almost
put out of business by coal at $l5 a ton.
: The great majority have to buy fuel to operate
their plants— '
Although at their doors, the equivalent of 21,528, -
500 tons of coal is being annually thrown away in
our undeveloped water powers. !
The Water Power Bills advocated by the Muniei
pal League would bring relief to the villages, towns
and cities of Georgia.
The ‘‘waste’’ from lumber mills is not enough.
