STATE OF GEORGIA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMNET.

June 28, 1920.

To the General .Assembly of Georgia:

In accordance with the provisions of House Bill No. 327, as shown on page 155, of the Georgia Laws of 1918, the Commission appointed to examine the State appropriations and to make recommendation to the Legislature in reference thereto, has held meetings at various times since the last session of your Honorable Body. The members, composed of the Governor, the Attorney General, the State School Commissioner, the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Senate and the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House, submit the following report:

GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Section 3 of the Law makes it the duty of the Commission to examine into the appropriations of previous Legislatures, the necessity for the same and to prepare for the General Assembly the General Appropriation Bill. This was done at your previous session last summer and the unusual system and accurate classification presented attracted favorable comment from the House and Senate and the press and people generally. It was the nearest approach to a carefully planned budget that the State has ever had and we hope that it will lead to the complete establishment of the Budget System '

124

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

with a State Auditor for this commonwealth. It enabled the House of Representatives to pass the Appropriations Bill at an earlier date and to transmit it to the Senate with more thorough knowledge of the facts and with more certainty and accuracy as to the funds required than ever before. If this same good fortune had attended the Bill in the Senate and throughout the closing days of the session, the finances of the State would be in much better condition today.
FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The opening of the Legislative session of 1920 finds the State Treasury without funds. The Governor has exhausted his borrowing limit of half a million dollars. On the date this report is written there is in the Treasury cash to the amount of $29,485.17. Warrants have been presented to the Treasurer for payment to the amount of $129,566.07. These are the more pressing of the bills due; in addition, warrants have been requested for nearly this much more and represent debts due in accordance with appropriations made by the General Assembly last year. It is not entirely just, however, to state that the large appropriations made in 1919 form the sole cause of our financial troubles. A more correct statement would be to say that they are the result of our system which collects the major part of our taxes late in the fall of the year to pay for the expenses of departments and institutions which necessarily begin on January first. It is true, however, that we are farther behind than usual owing to the fact that appropriations have exceeded the estimate of income for several years past.

MoNDAY, JuNE 28, 1920.

125

OIL INSPECTION FEES.
The possibility of more financial trouble has recently arisen in legal proceedings by the Texas Oil Company to prevent the collecting of inspection fees. These in amount were nearly four hundred thousand dollars last year and, of course, if the State should lose the suit would cause a lessening of our annual income by that amount.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
These facts and the worthy appeals to be shown in detail later, coming with justice from the State's institutions show the necessity for prompt action on the part of the General Assembly to meet the financial situation. The suggestion has been made that the remedy could be found by removing the limit of five mills on the rate of taxation. There would, undoubtedly, be help in this by reason of the fact that the members of the Legislature would be cautious about voting appropriations that would require a levy of six or seven mills instead of five. We believ~... however, that this is unnecessary and that the end desired could be secured, and with impartial justice to all, by changes in our tax system to reach intangible or hidden property.

UNTAXED RESOURCES.
According to the tax digests, only sixty-six million dollars were given in for taxation last year in the shape of funds on deposit by the people of Georgia. More than this amount, according to newspaper reports, were to be found in Atlanta alone on one day of last year and it is safe to assume that over

126

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

four hundred million dollars were in existence in the entire State. The State should legally and prop. erly be just as much entitled to revenue from this source as from the tax payers' farm or home. In this respect, therefore, Georgia might perhaps claim equal credit with the Tax Commissioners of Mississippi who reported the system of that State as almost ideal for the evasion of taxes. From this source alone, therefore, we could secure nearly half as much resources as are now derived from our ad valorem taxes.

TEMPORARY AID FROM THE HIGHWAY
FUND.
To date from automobile taxes, highway fund, the State has collected $1,798,039.56. Since the beginning of its operations the State Highway Commission has used $199,247.83. This money is paid into the Treasury at the very time in the spring of the year when it is depleted after payment of pensions to Confederate Veterans. It does not seem businesslike for the State to borrow funds, or to be unable to pay its just debts, when it has on hand a large amount of money waiting until it is needed by the Highway Commission. The recommendation is made, therefore, that measures be introduced allowing the use temporarily of this money until needed for the purpose for which it was secured. We recommend legislation, therefore, authorizing the employment of the highway funds each year for the general business of the State until they are needed by that department.

MoNDAY, JuNE 28, 1920.

127

DEPARTMENTS AND INSTITUTIONS.
The Department of Public Printing needs your attention at this session. It was created last year and yet no provision was made for the salary of Superintendent or office help. Mr. C. M. Methvin was appointed and served until May lOth, with ability and credit to himself and the State. On receipt of his resignation, Mr. P. T. .McCutcheon was appointed by the Governor to succeed him and has attended to the duties of his office with efficiency, in spite of the conflicts caused by different rulings as to the law concerning the duties and responsibilities of the department. We recommend, therefore, that suitable salary and maintenance fund for the Superintendent of Public Printing be provided, and the enactment of laws that will enable the department to function without friction.

RAILROAD CoMMISSION.
Salaries of _the Railroad Commissioners were increased by law at the last session and no legal provision was made for paying these increases. We recommend, therefore, that legislation be provided by the General Assembly at this session.

GEoRGIA LIBRARY CoMl\nssiOx.
The State Library Commission was created to encourage the creation of libraries throughout the State and to maintain traveling libraries where needed. There are only twenty-eight in Georgia supported by public funds, though there are several other libraries established by clubs or associations. We commend the purpose and work of this Cornmis-

128

JouRNAL oFTHE HousE,

sion and hope it will be extended until there is a county library in every county in Georgia. We recommend that a State Censor or Board be created and given the right to censor and supervise the motion pictures shown in this State. We believe that the fees received would be sufficient, after paying the expenses of the Commission, to provide funds for the promotion of the work of the Georgia Library Commission, as well as to give needed protection to the youth of the State with regard to the kind and character of motion pictures presented.
NOTARY PuBLIC FEES.
The State Librarian, Mrs. Maud B. Cobb, reports $209.00 deposited in the State Treasury from State at Large certifications. During 1919 the Librarian issued commissions to 762 individuals as Notaries Public. The fees received in accordance with Section 3 of the law as found on page 137 of the Acts of 1916, were in amount $1,524.00. This, under the Act, is applied as a supplement to the salary of the State Librarian. This with the regular salary of the office is not too much to be paid to the excellent official at present holding this position. The Commission does believe, however, that it is wrong in principle for the salary of a public office to be dependent upon the fluctuations of fees paid in this way. Furthermore, it is easily seen that with the possible increase in number from year to .year in time the salary would be out of proportion to the work required or to that received by other officials. Consequently, we recommend the substitution of salary for fee paid in whole or part as salary for this and all public offices of the State.

MoNDAY, JUNE 28, 1920.

129

GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.
The salaries for the State Geologist and his assistant were fixed years ago and it is now quite impossible to secure the trained help needed in this department for the former sums paid. These amounts should be revised and increased.

PuBLIC WELFARE BoARD.
The Public Welfare Board was created last year and an appropriation of $15,000 was made in order that it might investigate and supervise the management of orphanages, asylums and other public institutions into which abuses have gained admittance. A notable instance was that shown in the public press as having been maintained for some years in Cobb County. We have examined the work of this new Commission and find its officers diligently engaged in the performance of their duties. They have undoubtedly rendered good service to the State and desire increased maintenance fund. We would recommend favorable action if we felt that the condition of the Treasury justified this.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
We regard it a,s most fortunate that the Common School appropriation has been definitely settled at 50% of the State's income. As Georgia increases in wealth this amount will become larger each year and this affords a firm and fixed basis for the training of our youth in the elementary grades. The Constitution has been amended until the authority for State maintenance of high school is practically settled and will be assured beyond question after the passage of

130

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

an amendment which is before the General Assembly at this session. The Commission is 'inclined to believ~ that it would be just as wise for the Legislature to fix a definite percentage of its income for the maintenance of all its eleemosynary, educational, corrective and charitable work as for the public schools.
We call the attention of the General Assembly to the passage of an Act by. Congress which was approved by the President June 5th, 1920, providing for ~he Vocational Rehabilitation of persons disabled in industry: This Federal law provides a sum of money for each State to be expended under the direction of the Vocational Board of the State. The Legislature, however, must pass an Act accepting the fund providing that the State Treasurer shall be its custodian and meet the amount appropriated by Congress dollar for dollar in order to receive the aid. Other countries as well as this are providing means in order to train to be self-supporting those persons who are injured so that they are unable to make a living and we recommend, of course, that you pas~ the Act required by the Federal Government and shall prepare a Bill to present to you for this purpose.
It is neither right nor just to refuse aid for the proper training of our negro population and we recommend the establishment of an additional A. and M. Agricultural High School for colored youth to be located near the center of the State.

APPROPRIATIONS. In conclusion we submit two statistical tables

MoNDAY, JuNE 28, 1920.

131

marked ''A'' and ''B.'' The first gives the amount of the appropriations to each of the State's departments and institutions for the year 1920 in the first column; in the second you will find the amount paid to date; in the third there is shown the balance to be paid as soon as the condition of the Treasury will permit. Table "B" will show you the present appropriations received by the State's departments and institutions and the amounts asked for. Beside those which you have been supporting Bowden appears for the first time with the request that you support that school as a college or normal school and provide $50,000 for a building and $20,000 for maintenance fund. Of course, if the State had sufficient funds, it would be helpful to have a new institution in that section of Georgia. Necessity demands that you make increased appropriations to some of our present institutions. With the higher prices demanded for labor and supplies of all kinds it is absolutely impossible, for instance, for the State Sanitarium to carry on its work without large increase to its maintenance funds. The same thing is true with regard to the University and its various branches. Our youth are aroused as never before to the necessity for an education and the State cannot lag behind in the provision for this need. New buildings must be provided and the diminished value of the dollar must be made good in the salaries of the instructors. The School of Technology is crowded to its doors, the South Georgia Normal at Valdosta finds itself unable to complete its new building at the previous estimate, the G. N. & I. C., at Milledgeville, is filled- to its doors, the N. G. & A. C., at Dah-

132

JOUBNAL OF THE HousE;

]onega, wishes additional help, and the parent institution at Athens, with no dormitories built for years, is especially insistent that one be provided for the young women.
Among these worthy claimants to which we call your attention for needs that are proper and, in many cases, necessitous, should be mentioned our Training School for Girls and the Industrial School for Boys. The Committee has been impressed by the improvement and good work done at these two institutions and recommends additional help and facilities which can be secured only through increased maintenance and support.

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WESTERN

& ATLANTIC RAILROAD COMMISSION.

STATE CAPITOL, ATLANTA, GA.,
. June 30th, 1920.
To the General Assembly:
Under the provisions of the Lease Act of 1915, it is made the duty of the Western & Atlantic Railroad Commission to submit annual reports of its work, until it shall have completed its duties under the Act, or shall have been discharged by joint resolution of the General Assembly. Annual reports. in accordance with this provision have been submitted, the last being for the year ending June 30th, 1919. This report is for the year ending June 30th, 1920, and with this and the four already submitted, the General Assembly will have complete report of all of the work accomplished by the Commission.
The report made to the General Assembly at its 1917 session contained a full history of the negotia:tions resulting in the execution of a contract with the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis. Railway for a new lease of the railroad and properties located at the termini and at intermediate points deemed advisable to be kept as a part of the railroad proper, and a copy of this contract of lease, effective December 27th, 1919, for a term of fifty years.
Pursuant to the terms and provisions of this contract, the road and properties going therewith were formally received from the Lessee under the 1890 lease contract, and with the exceptions herein-

222

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

after mentioned delivered to the new Lessee, and formal receipt taken therefor, a complete inventory _of all property included having been previously made by the Commission and accepted by the Lessee.
There was included in the 1890 lease a lot of old tools, shop materials, office supplies and machinery, valued at the beginning of the lease at $33,093.60.
Such of the machinery as remained in existence was merely junk, the tools had been worn out and the materials and supplies consumed. The 1917 agreement provided that the value above mentioned, $33,093.60, should be paid to the State in cash and on Decebmer 27th last the agreed payment into the State Treasury was made.
In the old lease there were also includedcertain old rolling stock and equipment valued by the State at the beginning of the lease at $361,041.00. Much of this is now antiquated and poorly adapted to present day use. Some of it has entirely disappeared. The 1890 lessee valued all of it at $260,000. By reference to the 1917 report and the new lease contract printed therewith it will be recalled that this old equipment has been included in the new lease, with the agreement, however, by the Lessee to account to the State at the end of the new lease, at the full value of the same, as fixed by the State, towit, $361,041.00.
On December 27th, 1919, the Lessee deposited with the State Treasurer $600,000.00 :.par value United States registered bonds as security for faithful compliance on its part with the terms of the contract. The State, as you will recall, is the owner of

THURSDAY, JuiY 1, 1920.

223

two parcels of commercial property in Chattanooga, known as the Southern Express Company building and the Eastern Hotel building.
These properties had been included in the 1890 lease along with the railroad properties, perhaps without any material return to the S~te.
This Commission did not deem them essential or necessary to the railroad properties, and did not include them in the properties leased under the contract, but reserved them for separate disposition, under which their rental value could be obtained.
On November 6th, 1919, a lease contract covering the rental of these two properties to J. B. Pound, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, for a term of fifty years from December 27th, 1919, running concurrently with the lease of the railroad properties, was executed.
A copy of the rental contract is attached to this 1eport as an exhibit, and the Lessee took possession thereunder on December 27th last.
The rental is on an ascending scale and averages $12,000 net per annum for the entire period of the lease. The Lessee agrees to expend no tless than $35,000 in improvements and to pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges of every character. United States registered bonds for the amount of annual rental, as security for faithful compliance with the lease contract, have been deposited with the State Treasurer.

LITIGATION.
The Litigation with the Southern Railway in reference to use by it of the State's right of way at

~24

JOuRNAL oF THE Hous:E,

Dalton and Atlanta, mention of which was made in our last' report, is still pending. During the period of Federal possession and control of this road, only terminated March lst last, it was not deemed wise to press these cases to trial. There is no reason now why early trial should not be pressed.

ExPENSES oF THE CoMMISSION.
Attached hereto as an exhibit is a statement of expenditures by the Commission since its last report. There is a balance of the last appropriation made by the General Assembly, undrawn and in the Treasury of $832.04. .

RETURNS uNDER NEW LEASES.

Using actual figur'es where specified and estimates where the actual are not named, the Commission submits the following as the total minimum net consideljation to be received by the State under the leases now in effect for the fifty year term of rental, to-wit:

Road rentals to be paid in cash___________________ $27,000,000.00

Contractural cash minimum 'to be expended on permanent road improvements___________ ---------

3,000,000.{)0

Cash rental for Southern Express Co. and Eastern Hotel .buildings___ ---------------------------

600,000.00

Contraetural eash minimum to be expended on per . manent improvements on above mentioned build
ings --------------------------------------Estimated minimum taxes in Tennessee on the State's
properties to be paid by lessees for the term of lease --------------------------------------

35,000.00 1,500,000.00

Total consideration of leases-----------------~ $32,135,000.00

THURSDAY, JuiY. 1, 1920.

225

In addition to the above, we estimate that during the period of the road lease tax accruals in Georgia on rolling stock and equipment owned by the Lessee, as provided under the terms of the new lease, but not taxed under the old lease expiring on December 27th, last, will aggregate not less than $500,000.
In this connection it is interesting to refer to the estimated reproduction cost new of the road as of July, 1916, printed in the Commission's 1917 Report, made by its Engineer, J. Houston Johnston.
Including lands, this. estimate was $15,508,867.
Mr. Johnston valued lands at $7,187,000. Excluding lands, his estimate was $8,321,867. In this last he i~cluded $260,000 as the value of old rolling stock and equipment included in the old lease. The Bureau of Valuation, Interstate Commerce Commission, has recently submitted its tentative engineering report, in which the estimated reproduction cost new, excluding lands, is placed at $8,060,372. This estimate includes $95,705 for the old rolling sto~k and equipment figured in Mr. Johnston's estimate at $260,000. Under the terms of the new lease, at the expiration thereof, the Lessee has contracted to account to the State for the sum of $361,041 as its value.
We think the small difference in the estimates of reproduction cost by the Bureau of Engineering and by Mr. Johnston is greatly to the latter's credit.
Tentative land values by the Valuation Bureau have not yet been gjven.

226

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Mr. Johnston, representing the Commission, has been keeping informed as to the progress of the work of valuation by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Federal Valuation Act. In our opinion provision for his continued employment in this valuation work should be made, directing him to report to the Railroad Commission in the future. As his duties would not be heavy only a moderate compensation and expenses would be necessary.

CoNCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
Except as to the two litigated encroachrp.ents above mentioned, and a few other minor encroachments along the right of way, the work of this CommisSion seems to have been completed.
After the lease of the road and its properties, now fully completed, the Act of 1915 requires the Railroad Commission to exercise supervision oyer the properties leased. It appears to us as now )Vholly unnecessary to continue this Commission in existence for the purpose of looking after the two cases mentioned and the minor encroachments remaining.
We therefore respectfully recommend that tile matter of encroachment and the litigation in connection therewtih be placed under the future supervision and direction of the Railroad Commission, with instructions to Counsel to the Western & Atlantic Railroad Commission, W. A. Wimbish appointed by the General assembly to report to the Railroad Commission and act under its directions.

THURSDAY, JuiY 1, 1920.

227

The Commission has accumulated immensely valuable maps, records and data as to the road and its properties, at considerable expense to the State.
These should be carefully preserved.
It is recommended, therefore, that they be placed in the custody and care of the Railroad Commission.
Its duties completed, the Commission earnestly requests the passage of a joint resolution at this session, discharging it from further responsibility and duties under the Lease Act of 1915 creating it.

MESSAGE

STATE OF GEORGIA,
ExEceTIYE DEPARTMENT.
Athnta, July 6, 1920.
To the General Assembly of Georgia:
FINA:NCES.
For more than sixty days prior to your convening, the Treasury of the State has been unable to honor requisitions of those authorized to draw appropriations, made by your honorable body at the 1919 session, for the conduct of the State's business and the support of its institutions. Our educational institutions-the University; the several agricultural schools, and its other branches; our educational and eleemosynary institutions; the Academy for the Blind; the School for the Deaf; our educational and corrective institutions-the Training School for Girls; the Training School for Boys; our Soldiers' Home ; our State Board of Health, to which appropriations for the Tuberculosis Hospital is made; our Sanitarium for the Insane; our Prison Commission; our Department of Agriculture, and other departments at the Capitol-these and others have been forced to go without funds, which are necessary if these institutions and departments are to continue functioning.
Those familiar with the finances of the State have anticipated that this condition which now confronts us was ultimately inevitable-the only ele-

ment of uncertainty being the date of culmination. Except for your prompt compliance with my request, at your 1919 session, to defer the distribution of the State Road Funds to the counties until September lOth of that year, it is probable that the embarrassment which is now existent would then have arisen. (Georgia Laws, page 1440, Resolution No. 16.)

The situation as it has been developing, and as it was at the beginning of this year, can readily be seen from this statement:

The State, it is seen, therefore, began the year 1920 in need of $2,087,743.27 with which to balance its account.

In addition to the ordinary expenses of our civil establishment and the usual maintenance expenses of our institutions, there were two obligations-one ereated by contract under the School Warrant Law

TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1920.

275

of 19115; the other, the payment of pensions due our Confederate Veterans, which the State had to meet during the first of the year. These two items are the largest in the State's budget, and for some yearsalthough the treasury funds have been supplemented by temporary loans-which the Governor is authorized to make-their prompt payment has not been met without some apprehension of a possible failure.
A detailed statement of the plan of payments for this year may be profitably set forth:
Although under the law pensions to Confederate Veterans are not necessarily payable until May 1st each year, still it has been found advisable to pay as soon after the beginning of the year as possible the pensioners in one-half of the countiesthose given priority one year being postponed the next-and this has been the unbroken custom since the law allowing annual payments to pensioners was enacted.
On February 10, 1920, therefore, a warrant for $632,820.00 was paid by the Treasurer for one-half of the pensions for 1920. This payment was made without securing a loan.
On March 1, 1920, a warrant for $1,797,617.75 was paid to redeem discounted school warrants issued to finance the public schools during 1919, and in anticipation of the taxes for that year. It was necessary to use the Governor's borrowing power up to $150,000.00 in order to meet this obligation. This loan was paid March 23, 1920.
On April 21, 1920--some few days earlier than commanded by law-a warrant for $627,775.00 was

276

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

drawn on the Treasurer for the second installment of pensions for 1920. But to make this payment it was necessary to again use the borrowing power of the Governor-and perhaps for the first time in the history of the State for the full amount authorized, viz: $500,000.00-certainly for the first time since the limit has been increased to the present sum.
The loan of $500,000.00, while obtained of the Highway Funds, exhausts the borrowing power of the Governor; as this fund, though heretofore available temporarily for general purposes until its distribution to the counties (which ordinarily is done annually about the first of June), under the terms of the reorganization statute passed at your last session, is now ''controlled and disbursed under the lJrovisions" of that Act only, and hence must necessarily be kept separate and apart from other funds and held until the occasion arises for its use in carrying out the road building program.
Although the revenues of the State have undoubtedly substantially increased from year to year, and though probably the increases for 1919 and 1920 will fully equal those of other years,-still the greatly increased appropriations to almost every department and institution,-and especially the large increases to pensioners and the public schools; the withdrawal of funds heretofore temporarily employed to tide the State over ''the lean'' months, coupled with the depreciated purchasing power of the dollar and the unusual "high cost of living"'"hich has necessitated larger drafts, or more frequent calls, than heretofore have been made during the first half of our fiscal year-have at last neces-

277

sitated the suspension of payments on appropriations, because the State neither has the money that can be used, nor the power to borrow more.
Only a small per cent, or about 13.17 per cent, of 1920's anticipated revenues have been paid thus far. The greatest portion of the 86.27 per cent remaining will not be collected until toward the close of the year; but, in the meantime, half of the fiscal year has already passed, and within that period the necessities of the departments and institutions, as might reasonably be expected, have demanded such a proportion of appropriations as exceed the revenues realized.
The appropriations already made for 1921 exceed those for the current year by about $700,000.00 and the indications now are that probably earlier next year than this the treasury will again be empty and those who have been so greatly inconvenienced this spring must again suffer.
Teachers, the employees of the Sanitarium for the Insane, and others employed at the various institutions of the State-most of whom realize little enough for their labors-should neither be denied prompt payment of their meager stipends, nor made apprehensive and uncertain as to their livelihood.
' And above all, the State should consider its helpless wards-the mentally sick-the infirm confined in our State institutions-and should not deny them the use of money which otherwise would lie idle in our State depositories.
Therefore, I unhesitatingly suggest legislation permitting the use, temporarily, of such portions of

278

JouRNAL oF THE Hous:a,

the highway funds as may be needed; provided, of course, that such use shall not interfere, hinder, or delay in any respect the State's roaa building program.
This, so far as I am able to see, is the only way by which immediate relief can be assured. Under no circumstances should these funds be diverted from the purpose for which they were originally intended, and in their use should be permitted only for such period as is absolutely necessary and to .such an amount as can be certainly repaid out of the bulk of the State's revenues which will be collected in the fall.
There is little reason in holding this highway money idle in banks when the State's institutions need it and its agents and employees are forced to go without pay unless they borrow money of these same banks and at a very high rate as compared with what the banks pay the State for its use, or unless the officials of the departments or institutions they serve voluntarily and personally do so for them.
There are two ways, and only two, whereby, in my opinion, the State can insure against a similar situation in 1921. One is to permit the use of highway funds; the other is to increase the borrowing power of the Governor.
Prior to 1912, the Governor was authorized to borrow $200,000.00 A Constitutional Amendment nassed that year increased the borrowing power to $500,000.00
Appropriations for 1912, when the borrowing power was $200,000.00, were $5,625,825.00. The bor-

279

rowing power, therefore, was approximately 3.55 per cent of the appropriations.
The 1913 appropriations were $5,904,567.00, and the borrowing power of the Governor for that year was $500,000.00, or 8.46 per cent of the approp-riations.
The borrowing power of the Governor now is only 5.41 per cent of the 1920 appropriations.
It might be advisable to amend the Constitution authorizing the Governor to borrow not more than 10 per cent of the apppropriations made by the General Assembly for the fiscal year in which the loan is negotiated; or, if not that, then to increase the borrowing power to threequarters of a million, or a million dollars.
The adoption of the foregoing suggestions, in all probability, would serve temporarily-and certainly if the increase in revenues for 1920 as suggested by the Comptroller-General should be realized, and provided no other appropriations are made.

TA~ATION.
But the State is greatly in need of revenue beyond any increase that can be expected by the most sanguine adherents of the present plan of taxation.
The Comptroller-General, in his report for the year ending December 31, 1919, on page 12, li-sts appropriations for 1920 at a total of $9,074,616.50. The correct total is probably more, or $9,083,586.72.
This official also, in the same report, on page 13, expresses the hope that the net revenues for 1920

280

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

will be inrceased to $1,092,750.00, basing his expectations on the hoped for increase of assessed valuations of the State for this year as given by the Tax Commissioner, though the Comptroller accredits that offi~ial with expressing the hope that the values will increase ten million more than the Tax Commissioner in his report, at page 9, estimates will be the case.
But, conceding the figures given by the Comptroller-General to be correct, and also the opinion which he expresses that all the 1920 appropriations as made can be paid by revenues to be realized this year, including the approximately $500,000.00 increase needed to pay pensions to our Confederate Veterans, authorized under an Act passed at your last session, and the more than one million dollars asked by the department and institutions, as set out in the Budget and Investigating Committee's report just filed,-still, even if these items are included and covered in the statement of .the Comptroller-General as referred to, Georgia, when you consider its needs, is not receiving adequate revenues, and will not until its tax methods are, in my opinion, "recreated.''
I cannot see that there is any just ground for complaint as to appropriations, because I feel that they are all-possibly without a single exception, certainly as to those which are in amount consequential-abundantly deserved and advantageosuly used. But there must be a change. We cannot continue to increase our appropriations ,thirty-seven per cent when our revenues only increase twenty-two per cent, as has occurred during the five-year period from 1915 to 1919, inclusive.

TuESDAY, JULY 6, 1920.

281

The Tax Commission in its report submitted to you at your first session, gives a thorough and exhaustive study of the intricate and complex question of taxation.
Nine out of the ten members of this Commission-one of whom is the Tax Commissioner of the State-concurred in the Majority Report. This report shows that other States have failed also to raise &dequate revenues under the ad valorem system of taxation, and because of the impossibility of devising under that system any kind of tax machinery that would succeed in realizing revenues from intangible property.
I have seen no valid objection to the majority plan. The suggestion that its adoption would result in a division of our people into classes, I regard as not based upon facts or reason. Such has not been the case in those progressive States where it has been of force and where, if such a result were possible, sufficient time has intervened since its adt)ption to have produced this unfortunate result. On the other hand, the uniform ad valorem clause results in an uneven distribution of the burdens of taxation and here and elsewhere has already, if you please, divided people into classes-those who pay and those who evade; those who pay some and those who pay less; those who pay on a fair valuation and those who pay on an inadequate valuation; a class that cannot evade because its property is in the

282

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

cpen, and a class that evades and circumvents, and will inevitably, under the law as it now is, continue this practice.

The new law will classify property for the purpose of taxation, and scientifically, according to its nature, its characteristics and its earmng capacity.

The present law divides our people into classes fully as much as any new system could possibly do -one of which-the owners of real estate-pay taxes on 35 per cent of the actual value of their property; while another-some of the public service cvrporations-pay as low as 22 per cent of the actual vulut: of their holdings-while from the standpoint of relative burden imposed, real estate furnishes 53 per cent of the revenue of the State as against 6 per cent which is furnished by those who pay ou money and credits.

At page 495 of the Georgia Senate Journal of 1919, a table will be found showing that the percent age of intangible property to the total a:;sessed. value of property in Georgia has been steadily decreasing, having dropped from 14% per cent in 1875 to 6.14 per cent in 1918-and also that the percentage of personal property to the totaJ assessed value of property has decreased from 43 2-3 per cent in 1875 to 33 2-5 per cent in 1918.

To more clearly indicate the above, the table is herewith set out:

The report of the Tax Commission says:

''The remarkable situation shown by the above table is not unique for Georgia, but has been found to exist in many other States where the ad valorem general property tax was still used in personal property.''

In the State of New York, as shown by the report of the State Board of Tax Commissioners of that State for 1914, page 49, it appears that the percentage of personal property to total assessment in that State has decreased from 18.9 per cent in 1840 to 10.04 per cent in 1905.

The Minnesota Tax Commission report for 1910 says:
''Under the existing system, personal property tends to form a constantly decreasing proportion of

284

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

the total property assessed for taxation. It is gen(rally admitted. that under modern conditions, the amount of personal property in existence always equals, and frequently exceeds, the amount of real property. In a State like Massachusetts or New York, some would have it that the amount of personal property is two or three times as much as the amount of real property; whatever the exact proportionmay be, it is certain that it cannot be less than, and probably greatly exceeds, the amount of real property. During the Nineteenth Century, it is certain that the increase of personal property was particularly rapid; yet the statistics covering this period show that this class of property has usually offered a decreasing proportion of the total assessments.''

This condition, which seems to exist in all States where the ad valorem plan obtains, inevitably results in placing an increased burden on real estate. That is the sit'!lation in Georgia.

It should be borne in mind that the suggestion with reference to the division of our people into classes, as urged by the opponents of this measure, presupposes that the General Assembly of Georgia, to whom would be intrusted the matter of classification, would prostitute their high office to an unfair and indefensible imposition of taxes upon one class at the expense of another. I shall never believe that the General Assembly of Georgia will be composed of a membership which will so far forget its duties to the whole people and lend its vote to any such program.

TuEsDAY, JuLY 6, 1920.

285

It should always be kept in mind in the consideration of this proposed change in our tax system that under no circumstances could any burden be imposed upon any property in excess of the five mill limitation prescribed by our Constitution, and which all property now theoretically is supposed to pay.
If the people of Georgia are willing that your successors in the positions of trust which you now cccupy should use their judgment-after a full investigation as to the advisability of classificationyou should be willing to submit to them for ratification the Constitutional Amendment giving them this power; because, after the adoption of this proposed tJmendment, the same rule of uniform and ad valorem taxation as it now exists, if deemed wise, could be applied.
If the tax machinery adopted in Virginia-as the opponents of this new la.w have suggested-and not the inherent merits of the new system are to be credited with the splendid success brought about in that State (in which it took six years to persuade the people that it was wise)-is it not a remarkable coincidence that such success was only accomplished contemporaneously with the adoption of th~s new principle of taxation 1 It is not a noteworthy coincidence that, without an exception, success in raising adequate revenues has accompanied a change from the old ad valorem to the classification sv. stem' and that this additional revenue has, in every instance, come chiefly from the classes of property which usually escaped taxation under the ad valorem plan 1
Under the law of averages, as shown by the experience of other States, the chances are against

286

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Georgia ever being able, under any kind of machinery, to accomplish under the Constitutional provi. sion of 1877, what is being accomplished in the nineteen States referred to on page 30 of the Report of the Tax Commission, and in the States of Montana, New Jersey and Vermont, which were not included in this enumeration.
I cannot believe, in view of the universal failure of the uniform ad valorem principle of taxation, that Georgia can ever do under this principal that which other countries and States of the Union have failed to do, .the reason for which failure can be summed up in the statement that it is inherently and fundamentally unfair.
Hon. H. J. Fullbright, in his annual report to the Comptroller-General, on page 4, with reference to this report, says:
''The recommendations contained in the majority report are in keeping with the thought of many of the ablest authorities OJ! the subject of taxation, and in line with the laws of all the more progressive States of the Union. I heartily join in that report, believing that the adoption of the recommendations therein made would greatly improve our tax laws.''
It is agreed, not only by the majority of the Tax Commission, but by the Hon. Seaborn Wright, who alone dissented from the report of the majority, and who filed a minority report which was submitted to your body; and by the Comptroller-General of the State of Georgia, Hon. Wm. A. Wright, that changes should be made in our tax laws.
While the Comptroller-General, in his report for 1919, at page 21, disagrees with the majority re-

TuESDAY, JULY 6, 1920.

287

port submitted by the Tax Commission, still he says that he has given much thought and study to the legislation proposed by the bill introduced at the last session, and that he is more strongly convinced than ever that were the machinery recommended by this Commission for the new system applied to the existing system of taxation, it would accomplish better results without the destruction of the system, which, in his opinion, has been successfully in operation since the adoption of the Constitution in 1877.

Therefore, I am suggesting that in view of the fact that all who have studied the subject agree that something should be done, that you adopt the plan recommended in the report of the majority of the Tax Commission; or that suggested in the Minority Report; or the plan advocated by the Hon. Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller-General of the State, who has had long experience in the practical administration of the taxing laws of this State.
If it is the policy of the State to continue the old ad valorem system of taxation, amendatory laws to perfect the machinery along the lines indicated in the report of the Minority Committee of the Tax Commission, or as suggested by the ComptrollerGeneral, should be immediately adopted.
I strongly advise that something be done-raise the constitutional limit; re-value the property now en the tax books; perfect-if it can be done-the machinery under the Constitution as it now is, or amend-and this I think to be wise-the Constitution, as suggested in the report of the majority of

288

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

the Tax Commission. You should do something without delay. You are in possession of as much information as any General Assembly can possibly have, and in view of the great needs of the State, and also in view of the fact that all who have given the tax methods of the State any thought, are of the opinion that something should be done, there can be little excuse for your failure to act.

BuDGET Co.Ml\nssiON.
I unqualifiedly recommend the creation of a Constitutional Budget Commission, and invite your serious consideration to the bill sugges-ted by the Budget and Investigating Commission in its 1919 reoprt, ''Exhibit I.'' This bill provides that after this Commission has devoted the time necessary to an intelligent understanding of the needs of the State's agencies, departments and institutions, and has recommended an apportionment of the State's revenues for these purposes, while items so recommended may be decreased or omitted under the usual rules of the General Assembly, the amount of no item may be increased except upon a two-thirds vote of the membership of each House of the General Assembly present and voting, provided that such two-thirds shall constitute a majority of such memberships.
This provision is very similar to one in the Constitution of the Confederate States of America.
It is a necessary provision to give the work of this Commission before your body that standing to which it is entitled. This provision is also in the

TuESDAY, JuLY 6, 1920.

289

interest of protecting your membership against the solicitations and importunities of those who seek appropriations, and tends to enable such matters to be settled upon merit alone.

This provision is not a limitation on the authority of the General Assembly in the matter of appropriating the State's funds. It i.s simply a sensible, reason.able and business-like regulation of the procedure by which appropriations are to be made. It must be recalled that the General Assembly has no unlimited power in this respect, as the Governor, by the exercise of the veto power, can overrule the wishes, with reference to matters of legislation, of any number of Representatives in the Lower House less than 128 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.
Members of your body would have the balance of power on the Commission, while the minimum membership authorized to increase any item recommended, 97 in the House and 27 in the Senate, as now constituted, would suffice.
This pr()vision 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, Bfter trial, has been found satisfactory. It is hoped you can approve this plan for submission to the judgment and wisdom of the people of this State, whose representatives you are, and who can well be trusted to say whether or not this is a wise and ex-

290 .

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

pedient regulation to safeguard State expenditures and insure 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 G'eneral Appropriation Bill has been finally acted upon. During my tenure of office, the General Appropriation Bills have always been deferred and finally p~t 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 approval of any item of consequence therein, would necessarily entail upon the taxpayers of the State the expense of an Extraordinary Session. To delay the passage of the General Appropriation Bill until special appropriation bills have 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 unbusinesslike 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 vogue-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 spacial appropriation bill shall be enacted, should the amount therein carried cause the total appropriations for any year or years in whi the same is to be paid to exceed the total revenue as estimated in the report of the Budget and Investi-

TuESDAY, JuLY 6, 1920.

291

gating Committee, unless such special appropriation bill shall provide the revenue necessary to pay the appropriation therein. The adoption of this will inevitably result in focusing the mind of the General Assembly on the amount of the State's revenue and the source from which it is derived, instead of permitting it in making 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 which met you at the threshold of your deliberations at this session.

HIGHWAYS.
You are to be congratulated on the Highway legislation passed at your last session, and it is earnestly hoped that with such minor amendments as may be suggested by your wisdom and as the operation of the State system which you have inaugurated may have developed are necessary, the prqgram as outlined in the report of the Majority Committee, as submitted to you at your last session can be put through.

CoNcLusiON.
Your body, at its 1919 session, undoubtedly passed as much progressive legislation as any General Assembly in the history of the State at its first session.

legislation, constitute in themselves a splendid catalogue of accomplishments. If at this session you can succeed in the enactment of proper tax legisla tion; take the initial step for the establishment of a Constitutional Budget and Investigation Commission; take additional steps as indicated for the establishment of a State System of Highways, you cannot be denied the honor of having enacted more legislation in the interest of the people of our State than any General Assembly heretofore has ever done. It is a great opportunity and one whi'ch it is sincerely hoped you will embrace.
Respectfully submitted,
HuGH M. DoRSEY,
Governor.

THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1920.

461

Mr. Speaker:-
We, the Sub-Committee appointed to visit the Georgia School for the Deaf, beg leave to report that during May, 1920, we went to Cave Spring and visited the school-rooms, dormitories, shops and other parts of that institution. We investigated all the essential conditions for successful management and saw illustrations of the methods used and the results reached in the school-rooms. With much pleasure we report that every member of our Committee approved unreservedly the present management of our School for the Deaf. We found that our deaf children are being cared for by matrons and other officers who give them a home life that meets every need of the growing child, and we found a body of teachers who are especially trained in modern methods of teaching that give the pupils the use of excellent English as their means of communicating. "\Ve found three-fourths of the deaf children learning to read lips and other speech as the only means of communication in the school-rooms. We find that the sign system and lip are both used in the school and think this is wise and that both 8ystems should be continued. We also found that both the boys and girls are trained in shops in useful occupations. Our Committee were impressed with the School as doing a great work for our deaf children, who we believe are entitled to be educated to the same degree as our other children who are not afflicted.
Our Committee was greatly distressed to find that the State has not yet provided adequate dormitories, the children being badly crowded in their sleeping rooms~ In order to relieve this condition,

The following message was received from his Excellency, the Governor, through his Clerk, Mr. Cobb:

856

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Mr. Speaker:-

! am directed by His Excellency, the Governor, to deliver to the House of Representatives a communication in writing to which he resp~ctfully invites your attention.

STATE OF GEORGIA,

Executive Department,

Atlanta, August 2, 1920.

To the General Assembly of Georgia:

On the 7th day of July, 1920, a message trans-

mitting a report of the ''Commission on the Release

of the Western & Atlantic Railroad'' was sent your

Honorable Body. In this report said Commission

requested that it be discharged, and suggested that

the Railroad Commission be hereafter charged with

such further duties as arise in connection with said

railroad and its properties.

,

You are respectfully urged to pass at this session a resqlution in accordance with this request.
It is proper, I think, to invite your attention to the splendid work done by th'is Commission in negotiating and consummating the renewal lease under which the State is receiving this year $548,340.00 in cash, and other valuable considerations.

The Commission has rendered a service to the people of Georgia equal to that of Honorable Wm. H. Felton, deceased, who, as a member of the General Assembly of Georgia, chiefly directed and shaped the necessary legislation in connection with the lease beginning December 27, 1890, and expiring December 27, 1919.

MoNDAY, AuausT 2, 1920.

857

The Commission making the lease was composed of Honorable C. M. Candler, Chairman; Messrs. G. Gunby Jordan, E. A. Copeland, St. Elmo Massengale and Honorable N. E. Harris, Governor, ex-officio. The work of the Commission, as regards the lease of the railroad, had been fully accomplished before my induction into office. Not having been a member of the Commission when the present lease of the railroad was made, I feel no hesitancy in suggesting the propriety of your passing also a resolution of thanks to the Commission. It richly deserves such recognition at your hands.
I further respectfully submit that the work done by the Chairman of the Commission is deserving of especial recognition. He has served without compensation beyond what has been paid him for his duties as Chairman of the Railroad Commission of the State. It would be quite appropriate if, in addition to the resolution suggested, some substantial consideration should be aw11rded him. I submit this for your consideration without any suggestion whatever from him and without his knowledge or con8ent, and sol~ly because I consider it should be the policy of the. Stale to reward faithful and efficient service.
Respectfully submitted,
HuGH M. DoRSEY, Governor.

A RESOLUTION.
By Mr. Jackson of Jones-
To preserve the memory of a distinguished exSpeaker of the Georgia House of Representatives; Hon. Joseph Day, of the County of Jones.
Whereas, the Hon. Joseph Day, of the County of Jones, was, according to the official records of this State, honored by five successive elections to the Speakership of this House, wielding the gavel from 1835 to 1840, an honor, rare if not unparalleled, in the history of this Commonwealth; and
Whereas, there are no surviving members of his family in this State to keep alive the memory of his patriotic services to Geor~ia; and

THURSDAY, AuGusT 5, 1920.

979

Whereas, there cannot be found in the public prints any biographical information, even of the meagerest sort, to recall the unique career of this distinguished Georgian; and
Whereas, our State Historian, after exhaustive inquiry, has obtained the facts of his life from a daughter, Mrs. R. B. Lee, (nee Mary Joe Day), now 1esiding at 431 Greenwood Ave., Richmond Hill, Long Island, in the State of New York; and
Whereas, it is both the duty and privilege of this House, to rescue from oblivion a name once so l:>ignally honored in the annals of this body and to give to this now almost forgotten Georgian the mead of honor to which he is rightfully e!_ltitled;
Therefore, be it Resolved by the Georgia House of Representatives that the following brief memorial of the Hon. Joseph Day be spread upon the Journalof the House and that copies of the same be transmitted by the Clerk thereof to his two surviving daughters, Mrs. R. B. Lee, of Richmond Hill, Long Island, New York, and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Winn, of 820 W. Grace St., R":tchmond, Va.

SKETCH OF HON. JOSEPH DAY.
Joseph Day was born in Richmond County, Ga., on May 2, 1791, and was the son of John and Ferrely (Bullock) Day. There is little information preserved of his early life in Georgia. In 1811, he married Miss Jane Dunn. Acquiring a modest farm in Jones County, his industry and thrift were such that he soon' owned a large plantation, on which was located two mills. At the beginning of the

~80

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Civil War he was credited on the tax books with thousands of acres. He was also the owner of many .s]aves, who found in him a humane master.
Entering public life, he became in 1823 for the first time a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, and except for two years he continued to attend the annual sessions, in whi~h he was always a conspicuous figure, until 1840, when he retired, to give mor_e of his time to the increasing demands of his private affairs. He is said to have put upon the statute books a. number of important measllres and to have been a most powerful factor in shaping antebellum legislation. The fact that he was called upon, five times in succession, to wield the gavel over the House, sufficiently attests his commanding influence as a member; and while other speakers have presided for a longer time, in consequence of biennial elootions, not one has been more often called to the Speakership, as the Journal of the House will show; and this fact in itself gives him a unique distinction in the annals of this State.
Judge Day was in politics a Democrat and was strongly opposed to the Whigs. On account of his towering prestige, he was repeatedly urged to accept a nomination for Governor, but declined the bonor. However, he did allow his name to be put \.'ll the ticket for Congress, and was defeated by only eight votes. His competitor in this contest was his warm personal friend, though political opponent, Alexander H. Stephens.
Judge Day was at one time President of the ~facon and Western Railroad, and his. residence in .Jones Cottttty was interrupted by a temporary re-

moval to: the City of Macon; but learning that the
overseers were not properly treating his negroes he
returned to the plantation. This episode sheds an
illuminating ray upon his character as a man and gives us an insight into his true nobility of soul. In 1856, he sold his extensive interests in Jones County and bought two adjoining plantations in Houston, between Marshallville and Fort Valley. His first wife, subsequent to this change of abode, having died without issue, he contracted marriage a second time, and, in. 1858, at Americus, Ga., he married Miss Mary Ann Hampton, daughter of Dr. John Jefferson and Elizabeth (Sheppard) Hampton, of South Carolina. From this union sprang the two urviving daughters, whose names are given above, Mary .Joe and Elizabeth.
At the close of the war Judge Day relinquished his plantation holdings, the altered conditions of life in the South having robbed the plantation of its charm. Thereupon he established a large wholesale mercantile business in the Central City, where he also built a palatial home; but he lived only one year after removing to Macon. He died on April 2, 1867, at the patriarchial age of seventy-six years; and what is mortal of this distinguished Georgian sleeps in the cemetery at Marshallville, Ga. Judge Day was a Royal Arch Mason. Too advanced in years to be an active participant in the Civil War, he contributed thousands of dollars to the Collfederate Government and gave the labor of his negro men to build fortifications. States are all too prone' io forget; but let us not fail to do honor to exalted public virtues.

Mr. Speaker

By unanimous consent the verification of the roll call was dispensed with.
On the passage of the bill the Ayes were 156, Nays 4.

The bill having received the requ~site constitutional majority was passed as amended.

Mr. Williams of Walton, Chairman of the Committee on the part of the House to investigate the office of State Veterinarian; submitted the following report:

To the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, Session 1920:
Under and by virtue of joint House Resolution 146, directing an investigation of the office of the State Veterinarian, your Committee begs to submit the following report : .

1166

JoURNAL oF THE HousE,

That the State Veterinarian paid on his private sales of commercial serum, virus and syringes, from the fund of the State, and without authority of law, express charges in the sum of $1,864.76, iii receiving and disbursing serum, virus and syringes from January 1st, 1917, to August 1st, 1920.
Under the law the whole time of the State Veterinarian is required, and one of his duties, by himself and his office force, is to distribute hog cholera serum and virus. It appears from the evidence that the sale of the articles named, from January 1st, 1917, to August 1st, 1920, amounted to:
State College Serum and Virus ----$ 34,185.02 Commercial Serum and Virus ______ 372,157.03

Making a total of _____ -----------$406,342.05
It also appears from the evidence of Dr. Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, that his proftis on these articles was about $6,000 net. There was other evidence to show that the_profit was much larger. The distribution of the articles named was handled by the office force of the State Veterinarian.
For lack of records in the office of the State Veterinarain we are unable to determine the exact amount of profit made in the handling of the serum. Tickets showing sales made for the year 1917 to August 1st, 1920, are as above stated.
There are no books of account, no files or invoices, no records of checks, showing amounts paid for serum and virus.

TuESDAY, AuausT 10, 1920.

1167

Under the law the State Veterinarian is not authorized to engage in the private purchase of serum and virus.
Except as herein specified we find the services of the State Veterinarian to the people of the State have been capable and efficient.
To recommend the appropriation by the Legislature of the sum of $10,000 to be used by the Department of Agriculture as a revolving fund for the purchase and distribution of serum and virus to the people of the State at actual cost.
We recommend that the law creating the office of State Veterinarian be amended so as to have the State Veterinarian appointed by the Commissioner of Agriculture for a term of four years.
It being a physical impossibility for the stenographer, at the present time, to transcribe the evidence submitted to the Committee, we beg to ask that he, Mr. S. N. Titlebaum, be permitted to attach the evidence to the findings in the matter as soon as it may be completed by him.
We recommend that the witnesses subpoenaed to appear before the Committee be paid actual railway fare and two dollars per day while in actual attendance upon the Committee, the bills to be approved, when ~worn to, by the Secretary of this Committee, the Hon. J. N. Clements.
By authority of the Committee: C. B. WILLIAMS,
Chairman House Committee.
FERMOR BARRETT,
Chairman Senate Committee.

1168

JoURNAL oF THE HousE,

Mr. Lasseter of Dooly, member of the Committee on the part of the House to investigate the office of State Veterinarian, submitted the following minority report:
Minority report joint Committee on investigation of State Veterinarian:

To the General Assembly of Georgia, Session 1920:
We, the undersigned members of the joint Committee appointed to investigate the Department of State Veterinarian, respectfully submit the foliowing minority report :

The report of the majority of the Committee

avers that the State Veterinarian, without author-

ity of Jaw, paid fro~ State funds, express charges in

receiving and distributing hog serum, virus and

syringes a. s~ aggregating $1,864.76, We dissent

from that finding. In our opinion the evidence does

not justify the finding that the sum. stated was paid

for express and demands the conclusion that if any

sum was paid for express it was in the distribution

polfiasne'crue mwittoh

the the

farmers of the law. The la.w

State makes

in it

exact comthe manda-

tory duty of the State. Veterinarian to distribute

serum and virus and appropriates a fund for that

purpose and in our opinion the State Veterinarian

complied fully with the law.

We further find that, despite the earnest and continual efforts of the State Veterinarian to induce the General Assembly to provide a fund for the purchase of serum and virus for distribution at cost to

TuESDAY, AuGUST 10, 1920.

1169

the farmers of the State, it has refused to do so and that, therefore, it was absolutely imperative for him to purchase said serum with his own funds ~nd that otherwise it could not have been distributed to the
farmers as provided by law.

We further fip.d that, up to June, 1917, the State Veterinarian in purchasing serumandvirus sustained a personal loss of about $3,500 and that, thereafter, he made a small profit aggregating not exceeding 3 1-2 or 4 per cent on his total purchases and sales aggregating over $400,000, and that this small profit was applied to reimburse him for his previous loss, and it is highly. probable that the balance will be absorbed in losses on contracts for serum which are now outstanding.

We further find that the conduct of the State Veterinarian in purchasing serum- and virus with his own funds has actually under the uncontradicted evidence resulted in a saving to the fa.rmers of Georgia of not less than two hundred thousand dollars.

We further find that the practically unanimous

testimony demands the conclusion that the Veterin-

ary Department of the State has been in a pre-emi-

nent degree efficient, successful and beneficial to

the State and that the untiring energy, extraordin-

ary ability and uniform courtesy of Dr. Bahnsen

has been the main factor in the marvelous develop-

ment of the cattle and hog industry of the State,

which has increased in value in ten years more than

.seventy-five million dollars.



1170

JoURNAL OF THE HousE,

We further find that the active and efficient ~a-operation of the Commissioner of Agriculture with the State Vet;~rinarian has contributed largely to the effectiveness of that department.
On the whole we find that there is absolutely no just cause for any criticism of the State Veterinarian.
Respectfully submitted,

Member Committee from the House.
P. G. VEAZEY,
Member Committee from the Senate.
The following resolution of the House was read:

By Mr. Williams of Worth-

A RESOLUTION.
Whereas, a joint Committee on the part of the House and Senate have had under investigation the ~onduct of one Peter F. Bahnsen, State Veterinarian of this State, and
Whereas, the majority of said Committee (six out of eight) have reported adversely against the said Peter F. Bahnsen, and
Whereas, the evidence adduced at said investigation shows misconduct and unfitness for office on the part of the said Peter F. Bahnsen,
