That the joint committee of the House and Senate will repair to the intersection of Peachtree and Harris streets, in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, at 10 :45 Saturday morning, June 25, 1921, where they will meet the Governor-elect and join in escorting him to the Capitol. 4.

Due to the increased prices of all commodities occasioned by conditions grmYing out of the great \Yorld \Yar, such increases -with possibl~ one or two exceptions-were unquestionably desencd; and in the case of some departments-awl I think all institutions-the increases were absolute!~ necessary. The unusuall~ large deficit referred to was also brought about b~ the failure to collect taxes due for 1920. EYen as late as the first of June, 1921, there still remained $521,827.67 of 1920 taxes uncollected. At the same date last )car of previous ~ears taxes, onl~ $59,813.86 remained uncollected. In 1920, only a small per cent., or about 13.17ro of that year's anticipated revenues were paid into the Treasury preYious to the connning of the Legis- ro lature. In 19:n' so far Ollly approximately 8.41 of aiJticipatccl re,cnucs han' been collected, leaving ~et to be collected about 91.59%, the bulk of which will not be available until toward the close of this year. In the meantime, half of our fiscal year has passed and within that period the necessities of the departments and institutions, as might reasonabl~ be expected, have demanded a little less than o~w-half of the sums allotted for the entire year. During 1920 m;cl 1921, the highway funds, used prior thereto in the first six months of each year, have not been an1ilahlc to tide over the "lean" 72 .JOURNAL OF THE SENATE period. And also the litigation by oil companies restraining the collection of something over $80,000.00 of oil fees has further reduced available funds and has added to this year's difficulties. This condition could be relieved-at least to some extent-if you would immediately authorize the temporary use of such portions of the highway funds as may not be needed by that department. A large part of such funds could be used without interfering, hindering or delaying in any respect the State's road building program. Under no circumstances should such funds be diverted from the purpose for which they were originally intended, and their use should be permitted only for such period as is absolutely necessary and to such an amount as can be certainly repaid when needed for road work. There is no reason for holding this money idle in banks when the State needs it-especially in view of the fact that the State is borrowing, up to the Constitutional limitation, at a very high rate of interest as compared with that it is receiving as interest on these funds. This would increase the borrowing power of the Governor by the amount of such funds thus used. The Constitution should be amended, increasing the Governor's borrowing power. Prior to 1912 the Governor was authorized to borrow $200,000.00. A Constitutional amendment was passed that year incre.asing this power to $500,000.00. In 1912, the borrowing power of the Governor was approximately 3.55% of the appropriations. l:t1.1913, under the new authorization, it was increas~d to 8.46% of appro- SAT"CRDAY, JUNE 25, 1921. 73 priations. In 1920, this borrowing power amounted to only 5.41% of the appropriations for that year; and i11 1921, it is further reduced to 5.07% of the appropriations. In view of our financial system and needs, it is ad-visable to further authorize the Governor to borrow at least 10% of the appropriations made by the General Assembly for any fiscal year-or probably better, at least 10% of the anticipated revenues for any fiscal year; or, if not, to increase the power to some larger stated sum. But the adoption of this plan would merely give partial relief, and for a limited time. The State is gTeatly in need of revenues far beyond that to be expected under our present plan of taxation. To give permanent and adequate relief we must change our tax system. The niost sanguine adherents of the present plan could not reasonably expect thereunder revenues commensurate with the increasing demands of our government. At the last session, requests were made by departments and institutions for over one million dollars appropriations more than were granted. That a large per cent. of such requests were meritorious and would have been in the interest of our people, I have no doubt. The Lower House of the 1920 General Assembly was so impressed with this idea as to approve and transmit to the Senate bills which had they been favorably acted upon, would have further increased appropriations passed at that session by approxi- 74 JorRXAL OF THE SENATE mately a quarter of a million dollars. Sonw departments and institutions needt>d and deserYPd pven more than was asked. The annual reports of the heads of departments and institutions-to a careful reading of which you arc rcspeetfull~' urged-will, it is heliend, sustain this assertion. Our need for more revenue is also well illustrated by a pamphlet recently compil<> A being obtained from Bradstreet's Index of Commodity Prices; for Curve B, from the 1918 report of the "B~ecleral Bureau of Labor and from a publication of Babson's Statistical Organization, and ( 'mTe C from the records of the RPgistrar of the l"ninrsit~ of Georgia. But the State's higlwr institutions of learning, with few, if an~, exceptions, have been rendering a remarkable. service, notwithstanding the handicap of lack of fulJ(ls under '"hich they have been forced to struggle for years; and in justice, it should be said that the l"ninrsity of Georgia, the parent institution, has, during the time I have setTed as Governor, vd and mneh netded appropriations, 80 JouR~AL OF THE SENATE which have been liberal as compared with those made to the parent institution. "In 1909, there were only 94 graduates of fouryear high schools. This year,. we will have between four and five thousand. It is estimated the State will be called upon to care for an increase of from four to five hundred per cent. within the next few years. Georgia should prepare to meet the demands. "\Ve cannot escape our obligation to educate our young men and young women on the plea of poverty. The U. S. Census reports show that Georgia has a wealth of 2,300 million, as compared with Florida'& 1,000 million, Virginia's 2,200 million, and Korth Carolina's 1,800 million.'' If it is expected that the boys and girls of Georgia should have an equal chance with those of other States, the heretofore niggardly policy toward these institutions must be terminated and adequate funds given them. Under the old tax methods, such funds cannot be provided. They can easily be provided, and without a burden to the tax payers, by a changed system. The needs of the University and the State College of Agriculture are not greater than those of the Georgia School of Technology; and if anything, the needs of the State Xormal School at Athens are beyond those of not only the institutions mentioned, but of any other State educational institution. It would consume too much space to here set out the needs of our sanitarium for the Insane, the Home for the F:eeble-minded, the Tuberculosis Sanitarium, SATURDAY, JuxE 25, 1921. 81 the Boys' Training School and that for the Girls, etc. The Asylum should be completely reorganized, but little or nothing can be done until funds are available. The General Assembly of 1917-18 created a Tax Commission, the report of which Commission was submitted to the General Assembl~, of 1919-20 at its first session. The report of this Commission can be found in the Senate Journal for 1919, page 422, and the House Journal for 1919, pag'e 375. This Commission made an unusually thorough and exhaustive study of the intricate and complex question of taxation. Xine out of the ten members of that Commision concurred in the majority report. This report shows that other States have failed to raise adequate revenues under the ad valorem syst<>m of taxation similar to that which we have in Georgia, and because of the impossibility of devising under that system any kind of tax machinery which would succeed in realizing revenues from intangible property. I see no valid objection to the plan embodied in the majorit~ report. If interested in the views which I entertain on this subject, they can be seen by reference to my several messages to the General Assemblies with which I have served during the last four years. I dealt extensively with this tnatter in my first message to the General Assembly of 1917 and more in detail with the specific recommendation of the Tax Commission in my message transmitted to the General Assembly on July 6th, 1920 (Senate Journal, page 146; House Journal, page 273). It is considered unnecessary to repeat here. 82 .JoliRXAL oF THE SENATE Eminent tax authorities, tax exp<'I'ts and those who luwr given the matter thorough ilwestigatiou, unite, without, I believe, one exception, in condemnation of the ad valorem plan of taxation. Dr. Richard T. Ely, of \Yisconsin, a recognized authority on taxation, sa~s: "'l'hc ption of a few cantons of Switzerland, ab:m- 84 JouR~AL OF THE SE~ATE cloned it years ago. Already many States of the Union have repudiated and abolished it. It has sinned away its day of grace, if it ever had one. No self-respecting people ought to permit the present inequality and inequity to exist after they have fully understood the matter. The fault is not so much in the ad- ministration of the law as it is inherent in the law itself." In the report of the Special Tax Commission of l\[ontana, created by the Legislature of that State in 1917, an eminent American authority on taxation is quoted as saying: ''Practically, the general property tax, as actually administered is beyond all peraclventun~ the worst tax known to the civilized world. It puts a premium on dishonesty, debauches the public conscience. It reduces deception to a system, and makes a science of knavery; it presses harder on those least able to pay. It imposes double taxation on the one, and grants entire immunity to the next. In short, the general property tax is so flagrantly inequitable that its retention can only be explained through ignorance or inertia.'' In a recent article by Dr. J. H. T. McPherson, pro fessor of Political Science of the t:niversity of Georgia, and himself a member of our Tax Commission referred to above, the following statement is made: ''The most conspicuous example of an effort of this sort (to collect taxes by stringent laws under an ad valorem plan) is found in the State SATURDAY, Jmm 25, 1921. 85 of Ohio. For many years the State authorities engaged in a relentless campaign to 'enforce the law.' Penalties, fines, imprisonments were imposed upon the hapless tax payers. A small army of secret spies, 'tax ferrets' they were called, stimulated by heaYy commissions, was employed to unearth concealed property. But all in vain. Millions were indeed discovered and put on the tax books-temporarily. But the next year they would be gone-into secure hiding or out of the State. It is said that in one year New York received an influx of Ohioans equale to the entire population of Cleveland. ''The net result of this exhaustive effort is summed up in the report of a recent Ohio Tax Commission: 'After more than fifty years of experience, with all conceivable methods in the way of inquisition laws, severe penalties and criminal statutes designed to force the owners of moneys and credits, stocks and bonds, to put their holdings upon the tax duplicate, not only is the percentage of such property less than ever before, but public sentiment seems to be more and more approving evasion of the law." ''These conditions are not peculiar to Georgia. They exist wherever the general property tax is in force." There are very few who have studied the question of taxation who favor a continuation of the old ad valorem system which we have, and these few, I believe without exception, admit that it is necessary 86 JouRKAL OF THE SEXATE that a change in our machincr~- for the colleetion of taxes must be made. In other words, all admit that something must be done. Therefore, I urge that if ~-ou should not adopt the plan recommended in the majorit~- report of the Tax Commission, you should adopt the plan embodied in the minority report suhmithd h~- the one dissenting member of the Tax ConuuiHsion, or the plan achocated and suggestl'd h~ our Comptroller General who has had long experienc<' in tlw practical administration of the present tax laws of this State, and who can certainlr he relit>d, or some other plan adoptt>d. If I were permitted to select the plan, I would unhesitatingly advise the adoption of the Constitutional amendments embodied in the majorit:v report of the Tax Commission to which you have already been cited. I again recommend a Constitutional budget system. It is probable that the executive budget plan has some features which makes it pr<>fcrnhle to other plans. But it has been my thought that the plan embodied in the bill which I drew and which was recommended by the Budget ansped, as the Governor, by 88 JouRXAL OF THE SEXATE the exercise of the Yeto power, can over-rule the wishes, with reference to matters of legislation, of any number of RepresentatiYes in the Lower House less than 132 and any number of Senators less than 34, so that under the provision of the Constitutional amendment providing for the creation of the Budget Commission your body will be placed under no further limitations than now. l\Iembers of your body would have the balance of power on the Commission, while the minimum membership authorized to increase any item recommended, 100 in the House and 26 in the Senate, as now constituted, would suffice. This provision would give to Georgia one of the essential requisites of a business budget system. It has been written into the laws of other States, and, after trial, has been found satisfactory. It is hoped you can approve this plan for submission to the judg- ment and wisdom of the people of this State, whose representative you are, and who can well be trusted to say whether or not this is a wise and expedient regulation to safeguard State expenditures and in- sure their wise use. I desire also to endorse that provision of this suggested Constitutional amendment which requires that no other appropriation bill shall be considered until the General Appropriation Bill has been finally acted upon. During my tenure of office, the General Appropriation Bills have always been deferred and finally put through in the last minutes of the session, and hence have come to the Executive Department for consideration and action only after the adjournment of your body, and when to withhold SATURDAY, JuxE 25, 1921. 89 approval of any item of consequence therein, would necessarily entail upon the tax payers of the State the expense of an extraordinary session. To delay the passage of the General Appropriation Bill until special appropriation bills haYe all been passed upon, must inevitably result always in the passage of special bills without any regard whatsoever to the State's ability to pay. It is unbusiness-like and unsystematic. The benefits that will accrue from the adoption of the plan embodied in the Budget Bill submitted, will be so apparent-if it is once put in practice-as to cause us to wonder that the old plan was ever permitted to exist. Further, let me commend that provision in the last paragraph of the suggested Budget Bill which says that no special appropriation bill shall be enacted, should the amount therein carried cause the total appropriations for any year or years in which the same is to be paid to exceed the total revenue as estimated in the report of the Budget and Investigating Committee, unless such special appropriation bill shall provide the revenue necessary to pay the appropriation therein. The adoption of this will inevitably result in fo- cusing the mind of the General Assembly on the amount of the State's re,enue and the source from which it is derived, instead of permittii1g it in mak- ing appropriations-as has heretofore been the case -to think only of the great needs of the State and its institutions. If this Budget Bill should be adopted, Georgia would never again be confronted with the situation 90 JouR~AL oF THE SE~ATE which meets you at the threshold of your deliberations at this session. It is sometimes suggested that the exercise of the veto power by a Governor would, if applied, result in practically establishing a budget system. To this suggestion I cannot assent. Xo matter how well understood it may be that an ~Jxecutivc will compel, hy the usc of this power, an adjustment of expenditures to assets, the prcssun' for sufficient appropriations will be such that the~ will inevitahl~ in too man~ instances, go be~ond rc,:cnues, and usually it will be found that such appropriations are of such merit that it will be difficult for an JiJxccutive to determine to which he should apply the veto. And there are also other difficulties which nm~ well he illustrated by an examination of appropriations added hy the ] 920 Assemhl~-, amounting to $861,066.37. (See Comptroller General's Report, 1920, page 12.) Small amounts as follows were passed: To meet salary inerl'ases largely to \"<'1'.\' poody paid nwmhers of our judiriary ...................... $ 10,426.:H As a deficiency appropriation to the (lporgia ~'ls a~tainst the HtatP Vl'tPrinarian .. ;,;)00.00 To the Agricultural DPpartml'nt for anal~st>s in eonn<'C tion with cht>ck of the boll weed! ............. . 5,000.00 To Pensions ... : . ................................. . 640.00 To deficieney, Pl'nsions and OrdinariPs ............ . 25,000.00 And including only two large appropriations, Yiz: (a) a defidenc~ appropriation for thl' maintenancl' of the Statl' Sanitarium of ...................... . :lOO,OOO.OO (b) and to Pensions under thl' Constitutional Amend- ment which was passed by the pC'ople in 1918 .... 4i5,000.00 $861,066.3i S.nTRDAY, JuxE 25, 1921. 91 'Yhich one of these should have been vetoed, or would an }Jxecutive feel authorized to veto f If the veto should not be applied to the deficiency appropriation to the State Sanitarium and to the sum appropriate-d to pay pe>IIsions authorized by the people under the Co-nstitutional amendment of 1918, whatever might han~ been vetoed would have been wholly inconsequential. Practically all of the $9,943,999.32-deductingtherefrom, of course, the $861,066.37-appropriated at the 1920 session of the General Assembly was carried in the Ge-neral Appropriation Bill passed in 1919. This bill was passed in the closing hours of the General Assembly at its 1919 session and did not reach the Governor until several days after the adjournment of that bodr, thus pre-senting these alternatives: (1) The veto of whatever appropriations were made in their entirety (no scaling or reducing in part is possible) and thus denying to some departments or institutions any appropriation whatsoever, which, of course, would almost certainl.\ hme necessitated their suspensron; or, (2) An extraordinary session of the General Assembly, which, although it might be convened for the shortest period necessary to transact even a minimum amount of business, which we shall imagine it would most expeditiously transact, would cost the tax payers, at a minimum, approximately, $25,000.00; and an additional $2,000.00 for each day thereafter. 92 .JoURXA'L OF THE SEXATE But, from an inspection of the diagram submitted herewith showing the total amount of appropriations authorized and the percentages of distribution to the several departments of the State and its institutions, could there ha\e been any considerable saving had f L nless there was some reduction in the 40.2% of appropriations for 1920 to the support of the public schools of our State, or to the pensioners of our State, who received 17.5% of the total appropriations for that year, any other saving would have been a mere bagatelle. Those familiar with the devotion on the part of the members of the General Assemblies to the education of our children, and to our veterans, readily recognize the difficulties, even if the veto should be exercised. It may be interesting to know how the budget system has been found to operate in those States where adopted. This can readily be seen by the following excerpts from statements made by Governors and budget officials : The Governor of Ohio says: ''Having operated the State financial system on the budget plan since 1913, I do not know how we could properly manage without it. The expenditures of the State arc placed upon a scientific basis, through which untold saving has resulted. The legislative finance conunittees have for their guidance the carefully estimated needs of all departments before any appropriation is made. * * * *' "' SATURDAY, .TcxE 23, 1921.

Such conduct cannot be too seYNely eondcmned. In my opinion it will be wise for the Geneml ..Assembly to enact a law providing- that wheneYer a person is taken from the hands of officers and maltreated or murdered, that the GoYPrnor be authorized to remon from oHicP tlw mun from whose custody he "as takpn, that the administrator or the family of the deeeased shall ha\e the right to recover from the county tlw full ntlue of liis life. The State has no right to permit its officers to take eharge of a man, render him powerless to protect himself, and while in this helpless condition in the custody of the StatP to be taken by an arnwd mob and maltreated or murdered. In all such instances their legal representatiw should hav~ redress in the courts, with right to sue in any county adjoining the one where the offense was committed, and the Governor should be empowered, in his discretion, to remoYe the officer. ''Such provision would make more active our law-abiding citizens in suppressing lawlessness and cncouragi11p; all of our people to resort to the courts for tlw punislmvnt of the crime, even where tlw offense chargealth awl which raust'S Georgians who Ion' justice and who han a pride in their Btate to hang tlwir heads in shame.

To llLnominatc these offenses, lynchings do not make tlwm less lawless or barbarous. It is an nttaek upon goyenm1cnt itself - a roufliet hehn~eu tlw for<'<'S of anarchy and law.

"\Vhcu au innocent man is lynched for a crime it se1Tcs to protect the guilty. The members of the mob, their friends, and sympathizers seek to impress it upon the connnunity that the right one has been punished and the guilty goes unsought and unsuspected. Even during this year, evidence has come to light, showing that in several States victims of the mob have been innocent men. During my term of office, one man, who was rescued from the mob, was accorded a trial which resulted in showing that he was not guilty of the offense with "hich he was charged. Another fled from the mob to the Executive office and asked for protection and a trial by jury. They were given him, and it developed that he was not guilty of the charge for which the mob endeavored to take his life. "To what extent this practice has been or will be used for purposes other than the alleged reason giYeu to the public, will never be known. In one istance, not long ago, it was stated and asserted that a man who had been charged with rape came near being lynched. \Vhen the truth became known, it brought to light the fact that the purpose in preferriug the charge was to have him lynched in order to suppress his evidence against parties who had been violating the prohibition law. In another instance, a man, charged with an assault upon a woman, eseaped the mob, which was in pursuit, and estab- SurRDAY, JrxE 25, 1921. 109 lished the fact that the charge was made against him to clefpat tlw collection of a debt. Had the parties been l~nched it is not probable that their guilt would have been questioned. ''These things scne to emphasize the importance of adhering to la''" and of your so legislating as to suppress this evil and guarantee to en'r~ one charged with a crime a fair and impartial trial. 'Responsibility for tltf. crime of lynching rests 110t only upou actors, but upon the community which shuts its eyf.s to the crime and 1Jermits and tolerates it, and upon legislators u:ho refuse to enact laws to suppress it. ''It can and trill be stopped when the better element ulw deprt'caff' mob lau.', aggressively condemn it and lll'tamine to suppr;ss the prac- t icf'. "Even had it lweu confined to offenses committ<.'d upon females it could not be justified. wro .adopt it, in these cases, is to put life of ev<'ry man in tlw po,wr of any woman who might for any reason desire his death. when such crimes arc charged, the passion of the people is more deepl~ stirred than by any other, and the mob is quick to act. "Yct viewed from the standpoint of reason and not of passion, there is less excuse for lynching in such cases than in any other. Delay cannot be gi,en as a reason, nor a fear that jus- 110 .JorRC\AL OF TlH~ ~EXATE tire will he defeated. At :\[onti passion for eYid<>nc<> antl Yengeance for justie<.

President: The House has read and adopted the following 1esolution of the Rf>nate, to wit: A resolution requesting that the Gf>neral Assem- bly adjourn on the first day of July until .July 5th to attend opening of Altamaha Bristat<> has been nuHle, etc. Referr< of Bills of ~ale in ~~~~~T amount awl for otlwr purposes. Referred to Committ0e on General .JU Ma~or mul .\lP on General ,Ju CPrtain rE>commendation with respect to tlw same, as w<>ll as cPrtain other general matters. In advance of that statement I feel it m~ duty to call your attention to an important preliminary matter; it relates to the completion of the organization of the Senate and the House; in the formation of the Committees of both bodies. I should hesitate to proffer an~ adYice in a matter so peculiarly within the sole proYincE> of tlw two Houses, if I WE're not firmly convinced that the step I am about to recommend is an important and necessary one in the great task before us of readjusting the fiscal affairs of the State, and of putting and keeping its finances on a sound business basis. \Ve can never hope to accomplish that result unless we provide a system by which we can carefully awl accurately balance income against outgo-revenues against appropriations. Our present difficulties have been occasioned, largely, b~ a failure on the part of our predecessors to do so, and by making year after year appropriations that haYe exceeded, increasingly, the revE>nues of the State. \Yc must aYoid repeating that mistake; no appropriation, however MoxoAY, .J"LxE 27, 19:n. 191 worthy, must be made unless it can be demonstrated that the same is \Yell within the revenue. This course is enjoined upon us not only by the necessities of our present situation, but also by the dictates of prudence mHl common sense, and the unanimous wish of the people of Georgia. I do not believe that a real and effective budget system, one that will really guide the Legislature, and really control its action, can be set and maintained outside of the t"o Houses; or independently, even in part, of their authority. I do not believe that the General Assembly of this State will ever surrender to any outsid<> Commission or Agency any part of its power to make appropriations and levy taxes, by a majority Yote, subject only to the approval of the Gon>rnor. \Ve must have our real budget system as a part and parcel of our legislature machinery,-and I propose to you, today, the substantial beginning of one. I recommenturn to, was abandoned, and the old li'inance Connuitt<>ts of the Senate and House were split, in or
ose a return, it was not necessary for the State of Georgia to borrow a single dollar, in any year, ''to meet casual deficiencies,'' or on account of any , in the right djrection; one recommended to us by both past and present experience, and by common sense and sound business principles, and I unhesitatingly urge the General Assembly to take it. Respectfully submitted, -vv. THoMAs HARDwicK, Governor of Georgia. 194 JouRXAL OF THE SExATE Tlw follm,ing communication was read for the information of the Senate: UxiOK CITY, GA., June 27, 1921.

Clay and Palmour- ' 'ResolYer to be located in the center of a large park, known as Tattnall Square, in the City of Macon. The vahw of the proposed new properties will be abow four and a half million dollars. Obviously, therefore, if the Mansion property in Atlanta is to be disposed of, at a valuation of $450,000, and a reinnstment nuHle of only $100,000 the Capital Removal proposal is very materially affected, and the proposed Mansion transaction, as a matter of course, becomes a vital integral part of the whole proposition to submit to the people. \VED~E8DAY 1 Jt.'LY 6, 19:21. 23 w 2. e hohl that, UIHler the existing circum- stances, and in light of the foregoing pres('ntation, not only is it impossible to segregate parts of the subject matter involved aiHl set aside any of its several involved items to be disposed of by simple legislative action, but that, regardless of that phase of the situation, the matter of selling or trading a piece of property of tlw value of the Executiw Mansion should be passed on by tlw people of the State, and is a part of the whole question which it is tlesirecl they shall pass upon.

The follo,ving message was received from His Excellency, the Governor, through his Secretary, Mr. Blalock: 296 JouR~AL oF THE SEXATE J."llr. President: I am directed by His Excellency, the Governor, to deliver to the Senate a communication in writing to which he respectfully invites your attention: ExECUTIVE DEPARTMEXT, STATE OF GEORGIA, July 12, 1921. To the General Assembly of Georgia: I beg to direct your attention to the absolute necessity for some disposition, at this session, of the property known as the Executive :Mansion, located in the City of Atlanta, on the corner of Peachtree and Cain streets. That the present Governor's Mansion is uninhabitable and no longer suited for the purpose of supplying the Governor of Georgia with a residence is not a debatable proposition: I have not been able and will not be able to so use it. It is unsanitary, unhealthy and, in my opinion, its occupancy would imperil the health, to say nothing of the comfort, of whoever undertook to live in it. In his report to this General Assembly, the Keeper of Public Buildings and Grounds, Hon. T. E ..Massengale, referred to this matter in the following language: "I again for the third time call your attention to the Governor's :Mansion. I consider it unsafe and unsanitary and I do not think the Governor and family should be forced t live in the house. I TUESDAY, .JULY 1::?, 1921. 297 would suggest the sale of the :Jiansion, which in my opinion could he sold for four or five hundred thousand dollars, a suitable house bought for the Governor, and quite a nice sum be turned int_o the Treasury to go to the State's indebtedness." In 1919, Governor Dorse~, in his annual message to the General Assembly, used the following language: "Your attention is further called to that portion of the report of J{('eper of Public Buildings and Grounds dealing with the condition of the Executive 1\fansion. 'It is unsafe and unsanitary, it is also badly located for a residence. It could probably be easily exchanged for another home for the Governor, together with sufficient land located near the Capitol to accommodate the needs of the State for many years to come, and leave a surplus to be applied to the liquidation of the bonded debt of the State, as provid.'d hy the Constitution.' " Again, in 1917, Chwernor Dorsey made the following recommendation to the General Assembly of this State: ''The gxecutive .Mansion should he sold or exchanged as soon as an aclnmtageous arrangement can be made. It is located \Yell within the business section of Atlanta and is ill-adapted to home requirements. Its value as an investment is wholly disproportionate to the purpose for which it is used.'' In 1917, Governor Harris, in his nwssage to the Legislature, made the following recommendation: "It would be well if the l\fansion eould he sold or exchanged for some better place for the Governor 298 JoeRXAL oF THf: SEXATE and his family. Lorated at the intersection of two g-reat business streets, the noise is so terrible that nothing- can be heard at nig-ht that takes place within the house. The loudest alarm would han.> no effect inside the building. A child might get sick through the night and if alone no alarm rould reaeh the parents. The cause of this is the increasing roar of the streets. The dust and smoke aeeumulahs so fast that it is impossible to k('('p the 'fansion rlean for longer than 24: hours at a time. This eaus('S a heavy expense to the Stah. The 2\Iausion also is so situated that there are odors that fill it at all times, possibly from open sewers in the streets or from defective plumbing on the lot. 2\fany sewer repairs should be made and all the plumbing- g-one o\er to make it safe and comfortable for the incoming Governor. I most earnestly advisc the LPgislaturc to dispose of the property as soon as praetirahle so as to secure a better home in the city for the Govprnor and those dependent upon him. The location and size of the lot oug-ht to give it a YPry good value, which might be utilized for the benefit of the State." On June 23, 1915, Gowmor John }f. Slaton, in his annual message to the GPneral Asspmbl~-, said: "I recommend for your eonsideration at somP proper season the disposition of the Executin 2\[ansion. The ground upon which it is located is nearl~ in the heart of the city and is adapted to busint>ss purposes. The value of the ground makes the poRsession of the present :Mansion an extravagance on the part of the State. "Cnder the Constitution, all the property of the State is pledged to pe1~ its bonded debt. This constitutional rnovision might he nH.'t TuE:-;DAY, ,J-eLY 1:2, 1H2J. 299 b~ effecting an exchange of the present ::\Iansion propert~ for some other localit~ on which an appropriate .:\lansion has been erected, with surplus in cash payment to the Rtah. '' I ngard it is useless to multiply citations of the recommendations of past chief executives of the State on this subject. Suffice it to sa~ that the Executin .:Uansion is at present wholl~ unsuited and wholl~ unsafe for residential purposes cannot be disputed. The lot on which it is located has a very large cash value and, in my opinion, would bring not less than $450,000.00, if the State is to make a fee simple title to the same, or can be readily leased at a considerable annual rental for a period of years, if that method of disposition of the property is deemed wisest. The Constitution of our State provides: ''The proceeds of the sale of the \Vestem & Atlantic., Macon & Brunswick or other railroads held by the State, and all~ other property owned by the State, whenever tlw General ~\ssembly may authorize the sale of the whole or au~ part thereof, shall be applied to the pa~meut of the bonded debt of the State and shall not be used for any other purpose \dmtever so long as the State has any existing bonded debt.'' In spite of the fact that some of m~ predecessors have expressed the opinion that the constitutional provision above referred to is so broad in its terms as to include all public. propert~r of the State, my 0\nl opinion is that it does not include any of the public propert~ of the State held for governmental 300 ,JOURXAL OF THE ~EXATE uses, but simply inrludes property like the \Yestern & Atlantic railroad and the holdings of the State in the Georgia railroad, and such other inYestments as the State holds for private uses and for business purposes. Regardless, however, of that question, I do not think that there is the slightest doubt that the State has the right to exchange the present ~Iansi9n property for a suitable residence for the Governor and to devote the surplus arising from such exchange to the payment of the bonded debt of the State, and I urge that course upon you. In my opinion, $450,000.00 at least can be obtained from the sale of this property, that a suitable residence for the Governor can be procured and furnished at a cost not to exceed $100,000.00. The $350,000.00 thus obt"ained from the exchange could well be devoted to the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt. In that connection, I beg to call your attention to the following extract from the last report of the Treasure of Georgia : "In addition to the annual maturities of $100,000.00 for which sinking funds are provided, there will mature on the first day of January a small part of the debt, amounting to $207,000.00 for which no sinking fund "as provided. This matmit~ npresents the 42% bonds issued under the Act of 1891, to take up the defaulted bonds of the Xortheastern Railroad Company, endorsed by the State; and as there will be no surplus funds in the Treasury to apply to this part of the debt it will be necessary for the Legislature at the next session to authorize these bonds to be refunded or in some other TuE~DAY, JuLY 12, 1921. 301 way provide for their liquidation. In reference to this issue it may be appropriate to suggest that in view of the fact that the property known as the Governor's Mansion is no longer considered desirable or even habitable as a place of residence and as its value is no doubt large enough to take care of this debt and to also provide a residence for the Governor, it would be a good business proposition to sell it and appropriate a part of the proceeds to the payment of these bonds rather than to continue them with a new issue." As a business proposition, 1io person except a multi-millionaire can afford to use for residential purposes a business lot in a great c~ty worth in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. Certainly the State of Georgia, in its present financial condition, cannot afford an~ such expensive luxury. Practically the only opposition to the recommendation that I make to you, so far as I am advised, comes from what is known as the Georgia Capital Removal Association. That organization, in a communication dated June 30th, 1921, addressed to the Governor and to your Body, undertook to present certain objP-ctions to the recommendation I am now making. It is significant to note that even that organization concedes that "The present Mansion property is in such a state of dilapidation and is actually so unsanitary as to make it undesirable as a place of residence. This Governor Hardwick insists on and all who are familiar with conditions at the Mansion must necessarily agree with him. It is not only undesirable as a residence, but it is actually unsafe.'' 302 JouRXAL OF THE SExATE I insist that the proposition I submit to yo? is in no way properly connected with the so-called question of Capital removal. If the real estate holLlings of the State in the City of Atlanta are decreased in value, it is difficult for me to sc:e how that would unfavorably effect the cause of Capital removal. If the bonded debt of the Senate is reduced by $350,000.00, by the exchange of properties herc:in recommended, surely due account of that fact and due allowance for it could and would be made by the people, if the question of Capital removal were pre- sented to them, and it would certainly be easier to sell a piece of residence property in Atlanta worth $100,000, or less, than it is to sell the present Mansion lot at its value, approximately $500,000.00. The Capital removal question has no legitimate connection with this proposal, and I sincerely trust that neither its friends nor its foes will insist upon such a connection. In any event, the State cannot afforcl to allow the continued agitation of this question to interfere with the proper protection and improvement of its property in Atlanta nor with the prompt consideration of the course I han submitted. Delay on such question is both unwise and unfair to the State and is besides a useless expense to the State. The State of Georgia is paying today an average of more than 7% on all the money it is forced to borrow, and 7% on $450,000.00 is $31,500.00 per annum, which amount is uselessly and extravagantly wasted by delay in the settlement of this question, while the present Mansion property remains idle, usc:less and unproductive. Tl:E8DAY, .Jl:L 1~. 1921. For all of these reasons, I urge speedy and careful consideration of this question b~, your Honorable Body. Respectfully submitted, THOS. \V. HARDWICK, Governor.

The following resolution was read and adopted: A RESOLUTIO~ B~, Senators Johns, C'la~', Jones of 37, Jackson, 'Yalker and Others. "'"hereas, the General Assemhl~, of the State of Georgia has had under consideration an amendment to the Co11stitution of Georgia whieh proposes that the question he submitted to the people of Georgia \\'hether the present ad valorem system of taxation shall be abandoned in fa\'Or of a nc\Y S~'stem of taxation upon incomes, inheritanees, gross earnings, etc. 'Yhereas, this departure from a s~'stcm with which the people arc familiar should first recein at the hands of the General Assembly of Georgia a thorough, comprehensive stud~, and anal~'sis in the light of the experience of other States before being submitted to the people for ratifieation or rejection. 'Vhereas, by a studr and discussion of this subject the members of the General Assemhl~, of Georgia would he the better qualified to propose this question to the people of Georgia in a manner caleulated to produce the desired results without disturbing business eonditions, and without probable disastrous ,'results to the varied interests of the State, manufacturing, banking, agricultural and industrial, and to all other interests. \fhereas, after such examination of the mh'ny question of law and fact im'olved in this proposal 554 .JorRXAL OF THE SExATE and a free discussion thereof in the General AssPmbly of Georgia and in the press of the State, the electorate of Georgia would be much more familiar with all sides of the question and therefore hetter qualified to pass upon this leg-islation. "~hereas, all admit that the l"C'\enues of the StatP must be greater to maintain the institutions of Georgia in a manner in keeping \Yith tlw \Yealth and progress of the State. -Whereas, it is the dt>sire and wish of tlw P~'o ple of Georgia that such s:stem or s:stPms lw de,ised or perfected as will hring about this result, but without an undue and mmecessar: clisturhaucP of business of enry kind in the State. \Yhereas, under all conclitious and circumstances appropriations of ever: kind should be within tlw income of the State from all sources so that outgo should not hereafter exceed income. \Yhereas, action on the proposed measure generally known as the income tax bill can not be of an: final benefit or Yalue at this session of the General Assembly inasmurh as the whole matter must he submitted to the people of Georgia at a gt'neral election to be held after the regular St'ssion of the General Assembly of 1922. \Vhereas, no time will be lost in submitting the proposal to the people b: deferring action until the session of 1922. \Yhereas, there are only ten more working da:s of the session of 1921 in whirh to consider the gPu- ~'RIDAY, JULY 29, 19:21. 555 eral tax Act and the appropriatio n bill and the numerous Senate and House bills and resolutions includin the proposal to permit the Governor to pledge the rentals of the 'Yestern and Atlantic Railroad for funds with which to coYer the present deficit in the State Treasury. 'Vhereas, it is manifestl~ impossible in that length of time to giYe full, fair and intelligent consideration to the business before the General Assembly nor to act with wisdom, justice and moderation on such a proposal as inYolves a complete change in the system of taxation in Georgia. Therefore, be it resohed by the General Assembly of Georgia, that action on the income tax measures before the General Assembly be postponed until the session of 1922, and that for the purpose of evolving a system of taxation which will meet the needs of the State and distribute the burdens of taxation upon all classes equitably a joint committee shall be, and the same hereby is, appointed as follows: I;'ive (5) from the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate; ten (10) from the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Georgia; and to this joint committee of the Senate and House shall be referred all measures in the House or Senate relative to the said proposed change of tax systems, and this joint committee is hereby authorized to consider all such measures in vacation and to make a report of sueh bill for the consideration of the General Assembl~ as may be deemed proper on the first day of the session of 1922, and 556 JoL'T.C\L oF THE SEXATE the said joint committee shall receive the regular per diem for the days actuall~ in session in the work provided for in this resolution.

If this figure he corre>ct, Georgia has a loss of $.9,000,000 a year by reason of deaths by tuberculosis alone. The loss from sickness from tuberculosis amounts to such a figure as to almost stagger comprehension. Georgia is furnishing not a single bed for the care of tubercular negroes, and yet 45% of our population are negroes, and T. B. is two or three times more frequent among the negroes, '"ho are brought in close contact with the white race as cooks and servants, and what is more serious as nurse girls for our children, a11rn Sanatorium would reduce the numlwr of r<>j<>cted patients and deaths. There are no accommodations for the carc> of chilclren. The~ cannot be properl.' treated mHlc>r prc>se11t conditions. The new Sanatorium would be built with this problem in mind for it is in chils a11; And Save The State Loss? During 1919 and 1920 Georgia State Sanatorium obtained 45o/o arrests (cqui\'alent to cu n) among all THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1921. 689 types of cases, and 70% among early cases. No better results are obtained in any other disease. Every case cured is an economic gain, every case dying an economic as >Yell as financial loss. A $500,000 investment that saves $9,000,000 most certainly is a good investment. Further than this it will reduce sickness by curing some, relieving many who are suffering with tuberculosis. Prevent the spread of the disease through others, and b~ teaching hygienic life to patients who will carry these lessons home to others. Could The Sanatorium BP Built Part This Year and Part Next Year? At a higher ultimate cost, perhaps yes. At a sacrifice of efficiency, a sacrifice in human lives anRidPnt ATLANTA, GA. April16, 1921.

(2) vVe believe that a quarry sufficient for the State's needs should have bPen bought or leased at a price far less than that paid. And we are assured that that could have been done. The original Act creating the State Highway Board required that every mile ofthe 4,800 in the system should be paved. The experiences in pavi.;ng 894 Jo1!RNAL OF THE SEXATE to date prove conclusively that an absolute com- pliance with that paving requirement would overwhelmingly bankrupt the state.

To: The President of the Senate, The Speaker of the House, And The General Assembly. In pursuance of the joint resolution of the Senate and House, we, your committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the State Highway Commission, have the honor to submit the following report: I. The committee was duly organized by electing Hon. R. C. Ellis, Chairman, Hon. E. H. McMichael, Vice-Chairman, and Honorable Lawr~:>nce S. Camp, Secretary. II. \Ye had before us the officers of the Highwa~' Department and called upon said tlepartment to furnish us with all books, accounts, and all papers, contracts, etcetera, which th~:>y promptly did. m. 'Ve have held public hearings to which all persons were invited to attend, and before which any one having complaints was asked to appear, and we are frank to state that we were agreeably surprised to 896 JOL"RXAL OF THE f::lEXATE find that only one county came forward with a complaint, namely, the county of Dade. The complaint of Dade County was due to a misapprehension on the part of one of the county commissioners. The evidence clearly exonerates the Department from any blame, and clearly shows the road in question to have been built as cheaply as possible for the location and time at which the contract "as let, an<1 that the engineering was thorough all<1 competent, an<1 further that the completed road is entirel~' satisfactory and constructed as planned.

Not a word waR even rumore(l concerning the excellent maintenance work inaugurated and being carrie(l out h~ the department.

Ridley, and hopes for them a spced~ recovery, and the Senate expresses deep s~mpathy for each of them. CLAY, 39th. \VALKER, 18th. Jlr. President: Your Committee on \Vestern and Atlantic Railroad beg lea,e to submit herewith our report: The \Yestern and Atlantic Railroad is a standard, single-track, main line road connecting Atlanta, Georgia, with Chattanooga, Tenn., being 136 8/10 miles in length, of which 121 3/10 miles are in Georgia, and 151h in Tennessee. It has no branch lines; it nms in a northwesterl~ direction through Fulton, Cobh, BartmY, Gordon, \Yhitfielcl and Catoosa. Counties in Georgia, and through Hamilton County in Tennessee. Taken in its entirety, it may be with some qualification said that the \Y. & A. is a most excellent railroad, and is maintained up to a high standard. However, most of the depots, section houses and other buildings are in need of repair, and the depots are inadequate to the demands of traffic; all the bridges arc in good condition, but with hem~ traffic the~ seem in some cases rather light. The sidetracks are the best lot of switches we ha,e ever examined; the roadbed is for the most part in excellent shape; "e find in some cases new tics are needed. The waterwa~s and culverts taken as a whole .are in remarkably good condition. The chief value of the road is in Atlanta and Chattanooga Terminals, these being located in the actual business center of each city. \Ve recommend that passenger depots be erected at the following towns along the road, namely: 924 Jo-cRXAL OF THE SEXATE Marietta, Cartersville, Calhoun and Dalton, and that rain sheds be built at the other .points along the road. The Committee respectfully calls your attention to the net cash rental, and as a part of the consideration of the lease the lessee stipulates in the contract that it will expend during the term of the lease in betterments and additions to the property leased, property chargeable to capital account under the Interstate Commerce Commission's Accounting Rules, and exclusive of ordinary repairs and maintenance to keep the property in first-class condition, so as to adequately and efficiently discharge its duties as a common carrier of passengers and freight, not less than the aYerage annual sum of $60,000.00. \Ye recommend that a committee of five be appointed by the President of the Senate to call upon the Railroad Commission for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not this part of the lease contract has been complied with, and if it be found that said provision has not been complied with, then and in that event, to request the Railroad Commission to enforce compliance therewith. \Ye wish to extend to Captain Baldwin our thanks and appreciation for his kind consideration of the committee.
