without resorting to a further
increase in the rate of taxation,
which ie already the higheet in
the history of the state, while
the ability of the great body of
our people, those engaged in
tilling the soil, is, owing to the
unprecedentedly low prices of
their products, less Jhan it has
ever been in the past, But 1 made
no specific recommendation as
to how to supply the deficiency
in revenue, believing that the
general assembly in its wisdom
would be able withont sugges
tion from me to solve in the wi
sest manner, the preblesa that
confronts us. But the discussion
of the questions of taxation and
revenue has developed so much
diversity of opinion not only as
to the actual condition of the
treasury, but as to how to sur
mount tlie difficulties that con
front us, and so much hesitation
in suggesting a remedy ia mani
fested, that I deem it my duty
to communicate to you th* con
clusions at which 1 have arrived
after a most careful considera
tion of the question.
WILL SECURE MORE PROPERTY.
It has been suggested that a
revision of our entire taxing
system will develop an amount
of property which now escapes
taxation, large enough to yield
revenue sufficient to make up
the detciency in the state’s rev
enues,
No doubt such revision, the
importance of which I most ear
nestly urge upon the attention
of ti,e general assembly, would
uncover for taxation a large
amount of property which, now
eludes the hard of the tax gath
erer, but not a sufficient amount
to make up the deficiency in the
state’s revenue, The class of
property which escapes the tax
ing officer is usually stocks and
bonds and other evidences of in
debtedness.
While ibucll property of this
character undoubtedly escapes
taxation, it is not as much as
many suppose, for our high ratfe
of taxation, state, county and
municipal, have driven it large
ly out of the state. The price of
money is exceedingly low. No
good bond now sells in the mar
ket higher than a • 1-2 per cent
basis. In most of the counties
the state and county taxes
amount to 1 percent, and in
most of the cities the tax gather
erdemands about as much for
municipal purposes. lienee to
the holder of such securities
there is left after paying taxes,
state, county and municipal,
only 112 per cent net on his
investment. 1 his is so low that
it is to his interest to place his
money elsewhere, where it will
yield a better profit. He there
fore seeks refugs in New Eng
land trust companies and sav
ings banks, where he escapes
taxation. This being the case
no taxing system can be devised
that will reach this class of
property while our tax rates are
so high, and even if, as hoped
by some, large amounts of this
sort of property could be reach
ed and made to bear its share
of the burdens of government,
it could not be done in time to
meet the liabilities of ths state,
which will press upon us in the
next six or eight months—too
early for a new taxing system to
be enacted and put into opera
tion.
Other Remedy Nkcei akv.
Hence we meet the emergency
some other remedy mu*t be found,
end after a most careful considera
tion of the ma t r and with the ut
most reluctance I am forced to
the conclusion that the on y prac

DR. TOM GIBSON’S
Red Hol Defense hat »Edb a
Seooitloi
MURE THAN ST A ! 'E WWE.
Says the Atlanta J*umal Mutll
lated his Copy,
Dr. Tom Gibson, who was ex
pelled from the Methodist min
istry and the Methodist church
last week at the North Georgia
Conference of the church held
in Augusta, has published
a defense that has proved a tre
mendous sensation.
Dr. Gibson was seen in his of
fice at the Fletcher Smith big
book and job office this fore
noon, and, while he was as un
ruffled as a Muy morning. I e
evinced much suppressed : -
ing when aske Ito talk about
his defense as published iu ast
night’s Atlanta Journal.
Said he: “The Anlanta Jtur
nal suppressed tw > p*g«a of th*
manuscript, of my defense, and
I have written the Journal peo
ple, asking for the return of all
the copy.”
“When I receive it, perhap*
in time for the Thursday after
noon publication of the Hustler-
Commercial, I will give you the
copy in its entirety and you
may publish it all. If the Journ
al fails to send me the copy then
I will rewrite those two pages
and furnish ’them to you for
publication.”
(For that reason the ITustler-
Commereial does not publish
Dr. Gibson’s card preferring to
wait until the entire story can
be given to the public.)
Dr. Gibson spok* very freelj
of the unchristian manner ii
which he had been treated b)
some of the holier-than-thou ele
ment among the ministere of tin
church. He says that he has
been silent for the great love he
bare the church,as much as from
any other motive, but when the
hypocrits purposely distort his
every act and malign every mo
tive that controls him he will
speak out and he will always say
something when he talks.
Dr. Gibson is pushing his weak
ly newspaper. The Piedmont
Farmer, and seems to te making «
success of it. He is a forceful
writes aud is well able to take care
of himself any aud every where.
He has a host of friends whe know
him to be able, brainsy, honest
and fearless and they are aongrat
ulating him on side over hi*
defence, even though th* copy for
same was garbled in the Atlanta
Journals office.
His defense, aa hs wrote it, wil l
appear iu the columns of the flonn
Hustler-Commercial, in all prob
ability on tomorrow afternoon,
certainly as soon as the copy, un
de the circumstances, can be fm
nishod.
