Lee, Editors, Publishers arid Owners We are not responsible for opin ions expressed by correspondents or others through our columns. Gibson, Ga., February 22, 1933 TO OUR COUNTY TAX OFFICIALS I have cut the following from The Macon Telegraph: “Bulloch Tax Digest In Sharply Reduced" “Statesboro, Ga., Feb. 10.— Bulloch county commissioners and officials, afler a conference with taxpayers, have agreed to reduce tax assessments by 25 per cent. The reduction was asked in a recent mass meeting, and Tax Receiver John P. Lee has been instructed lo make a hori zontal slash in the digest. The assessments already had been reduced about 25 per cent from the 1930 level." It looks to me like it would he prudent for our Glascock county commissioners and tax assessors to meet and come to some agree ment as to the proper reduction for the Tax Receiver to receive the taxable property and so in struct him. It is far better to keep the farm homes running at an expense that the owners can pay, than to sell them for taxes, thereby and thereafter receiving no taxes al all, and our tax bur dens must he reduced for us to urvive. Respectfully, Herbert A. Williams, Sr. Gibson, Ga., Feb. 20, 1933.

You do not pay all of it. You may own no property, or en gage in any business for which a license must be paid, but do not deceive yourssli. You are a taxpayer. if you <io not pay taxes directly you pay them indirectly. If >' ou f * u Y r,olv a r ‘ ni1 ul ' corporation that does pay taxes, you lieip to pay its taxes, for its tax money comes out of profit on which it sells, or the service it renders. Taxes have become the most burdensome things which busi ness and the owners of property have to deal. Let us tell you something: Before the end of 1933, inability of all our governments to collect taxes is going to plunge them into serious difficulties, Mark that prediction. When times were good, taxes went up. Public offices multi plied, govemmenttal activities increased, and taxes went a little higher every year. The people did not complain, for times were good, money and credit were plentiful, and public treasuries were kept well filled. But conditions have changed. Find the man or woman, the firm or corporation, the banker or the day laborer, the corporation head or the owner of a one horse farm who does not find taxes burdensome. The owner of a store must rent it for half, or perhaps a third, of what he received a few years ago, yet his taxes have come down very slightly. And the man who rents the store finds it harder to pay the present rent than it was to pay twice or three times as much. The fight to get taxes down is a fight to avert disaster. Don’t let anybody mislead you. It is a fight to protect property. To safeguard business and the home. To slop advertisements beginning—“Will be sold before (he Court House door, between the legal hours of sale, to the highest bidder for cash, on the first Tuesday”—etc., etc. If taxes do not come down; if people do not get relief; if the T * 1 f Hth ^vemrnentis not greatly reduced, re «rn prosperity there ,s is going not going to be ’T V . ° VC t * h °r* * w, \ ose m,,t m to work !
