An Announce For Representative Axson, Ga.. July 23rd, 1P22. ’t the Citizens of Atkinson county: I take this method of announc ing my candidacy for Representa tive of Atkinson county, subject to the Democratic Primary to be held September 13th, 1922. 1 am not seeking this place iu order to gain experience or honor, at your ex cuse, as I have had eight years xperienee and all the honor con nected with the office but 1 desire to serve you in this capacity in order that 1 may do my utmost as m experienced legislator, to assist in working our county and state out of their perilous and unwar ranted financial condition. Our public schools are being stinted for the want of money. Our Confed erate soldiers are being neglected aud their Pensions reduced. But our taxes go higher and higher. Burdensome taxes are placed upon us for good roads and we get no good roads. Heavy tax assessments are made for improvements ou public buildings and the improve ments not made, and our money goes without many visible returns. A very serious and extraordinary condition confront us and the sooner we all wake up to the enormity of the situation and be gin to use every influence and all our energy to relieve the situation the better off we will be. There is certainly a remedy for the situa tion and with the assistance and co-operation of the men and women who believe that strict economy in the administration of county and state affairs we will find the remedy and apply it. If elected I shall work for the enactment of the following: — The enlargement of State facili ties for handling Georgia Products. Our State Bureau of Markets should be placed in position to handle our products so that we will not be at the mercy of thiev ing Commission Merchants scatter ed over the country. Our Solicitor-General must be placed ou a salary. All unnecessary State aud County officers should bo abolish ed. ()ur county authorities should give us a monthly Itemized State ment of all expenditures. Each county officer’s books should be audited annually. During the war, all superior court judges, judges of supreme courts and court of appeals and all State House officers salaries were increased to meet the inflated liv ing costs. The war has been over some time, living-costs have been greatly reduced, but their salaries remain on war time level. The salaries of all these officers should be reduced to the old prices, which will save our State hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. There should be very strict laws governing County Commissioners in levying the county tax rates. Under our constitution our State tax rate is limited to Five Mills. We should certainly have a limit on our county tax rate. We should have a law compelling all holders of notes or other writ ten evidences of debt to have them recorded by Tax Receiver or Clerk of Superior Court, or forfeit their rights to collect them. This would bring out hundreds of millions of dollars in tax values, which now go untaxed and would lighten the load on farm lands and visible pro perty which are now overburdened with taxes. One or our rich sister connties, with a great deal less wild land in its borders than ours, has spent about a quarter of million dollars in the past five years dipping cat tle and 1 understand their task has just begun. It does not take a very wise person to figure out what will become of our county financially, our people and our cattle industry unless we have re lief from (his iniquitous law. This law should be amended so as to meet the demands of the condi tions in our county and a number of other adjoining counties in this section. Any law that confiscates our property and places unreason able and unjust burdens upon our citizens is a bad law. I solicit your vote and influence, and promise you that if elected the peoples’ interests shall be pro tected and conserved and your taxes lowered. Respectfully, Char. E. Stewart. —Advertisement,
