THE GOVERNOR'S BIG TASK.
Governor Slaton is devoting him
self to the duties of his office with
an industry and clearness of pur
pose that is most commendable and
his business-like grasp of things aug
ers well for the State.
He has before him this year the
most delicate and difficult task that
has confronted a Governor of Geor
gia within recent years. The appro
priations made by the Legislature
have run the State behind to the
extent of a million two hundred and
eighty thousand dollars and not on
ly will the State be still deeper in
debt when July comes but Governor
Slaton will have to borrow money
with which to pay the Legislature
that has helped to pile up this in
debtedness.
This condition has been brought
about by the excess of appropria
tions over receipts and by the fact
that under the Constitution of the
State a levy in excess of fifty cents
on the hundred dollars cannot be
made. This wise provision was adopt
ed by the people during the adminis
tration of Governor Terrell. If it
had been kept in mind the heavy
floating debt would have been avoid
ed.
The Constitution provides that
$100,000.00 of the bonds of the State
shall be paid each year and the
people have laboriously paid the debt
at that rate for thirty-four years
until they have retired three and
a half million dollars; but while
they have been doing so extravagant
Legislatures have, within a compar
atively short time, plunged them in
to a floating debt of a million and
a quarter of dollars, or more than
one-third the amount of the bonded
debt that has been paid in thirty
four years.
That is the situation that con
fronts Governor Slaton, and with
out strong and positive help from
him relief cannot be obtained.
There are two things to be done.
One is to stop extravagant legis
lation. By his personal ilifluenco and
his veto power the Governor can con
trol that feature,.
The other thing necessary is to
make a success of the new tax law.
The new law which is to be tried
this year for the first time provides
for County tax assessors who are to
adjust tax valuations as between the
various properties in a county and
it also provides that the State Tax
Commissioner may adjust valuations
as between counties. llf a county is
returned too low he can raise the
valuations.
The Tax Commissioner, Former At
torney General John C. Hart, is an
able, clean and impartial man. He is
devoting himself to his'work with a
<conscientiousness that could not be
excelled. When we have at the head
©of the taxing system such a man, in
a situation so fraught with finan
cial difficulties, we should hold up
his bands and see that he gets a
square deal from public sentiment.
The danger of the situation comes
from the fact that the bill passed
by the narrow margin of one vote.
There is already a threat that it
will be fought in the approaching
.session of the Legislature. As there
is no subject about which it is easier
to stir up trouble than that of tax
ation, a little rocking of the boat
might result in the repeal of the law
from which so much is hoped. It is
certainly a time for the people to
stand squarely by the Governor and
the Tax Commissioner in order that
there may be no interference with
the new law.
If the new law can be fairly tried
and the Legislature can be prevail
“ed upon to hold down appropriations
the State Treasury will soon be in
good shape and the refunding of
+ nearly four million dollars. of the
State debt, which will be necessary
within a year, will be made easy and
will be accomplished at a low rate
of interest. This rate of interest is
a matter of very great concern to
the people who will have to pay it
and we cannot hope to sell long term
bonds at a low rate if after having
plunged headlong into a floating
debt we make no provision to pay it
and show no repentance for the folly
- that brought it about.

TONY MAROON NAMES NEW
SON FOR HON. JOE BROWN
Tony Maroon, who conducts a
fruit stand on Poplar street, should
receive a Carnegie medal for diplom
acy.
¥our years ago when Maroon was
a staunch admirer of Hoke Smith,
a baby boy arrived at his home. That
was in January 1910, It didn’t take
Tony any longer than it would take
him to say Jack Robinson to name
that byo Hoke Smith.
Tony’s action was very agreeable
to many Macon citizens for Hoke
Smith has many admirers here. But
to some others, Tony was the victim
of no little criticism,
“What’s the matter with yoa
Tony, why didn’t you name that boy
Joe Brown?”’ Tony was asked by
dozens of his friends, who were ar

Pleasure and Protection
“One of the best reasons why I would not be
without telephone service,” writes a Georgia far
mer, “is the pleasure it gives my wife and the
knowledge that while lam away, she has the pro- |
tection that the telephone gives.”
On the farm the telephone dispels loneliness
and is the means of bringing help in any emer=
gency that may arise.
If you haven’t a telephone on your farm see
the nearest Bell Telephone Manager or write for
