Whereas, this pageant, under the direction and through the authorship of Mrs. Jackson has effected a non-sectarian presentation commemorating and perpetuating the most sacred birthday memorials with which Christianity is blessed; one so impressive and touching in a beauty entirely free from human pedantry, yet true and explicit in its scriptural teaching that it deserves a really wider recognition in its beautifully linked prophecy and fulfillment towards a clearer human understanding and interpretation of Divine Will, portraying in scriptural simplicity the dawn of Christianity; therefore
Be it resolved, that the appreciation of this body be expressed in the form of a resolution of appreciation of this wonderful production and the work of its author, and to convey the hope that the "LIGHT OF THE WORLD" will be continued that it may spread an even broader influence for Christian good throughout our commonwealth year by year.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
CLIFFORD WALKER, Governor

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
With my first word permit me to express my profound gratitude to the people of my beloved, native State for their generous endorsement of the efforts of this administration in their behalf as evidenced by my unanimous re-election. I am equally grateful that I can in all sincerity greet this new Assembly in the conviction that that unanimous endorsement is tantamount to a mandate from the people to the incoining administration, of which you are a most vital part, to go forward in and to a great educational program and a great highway program.
These two great constructive programs will of necessity require the raising of new monies. Under the present antiquated tax laws of Georgia practically all of the burdens rest upon real estate and other tangible property. These burdens have grown so onerous that any additions thereto would mean confiscation of the homes of the owners of tangible property. However, one-half of the property of the State, intangible and invisible in character, is now escaping taxation. It follows, and there will be no division of opinion here, since the people have spoken in terms of a mandate which cannot and will not be denied-that we must add a third great constructive program-a reformation of the tax laws which will provide for a fair distribution of the expenses of government by placing a just share upon intangible and invisible properties. How to reach these intangibles and bring them to the tax books is the one, the first and the most important problem before you. It is not without its serious difficulties. I have every confidence that you will without the slightest delay or hesitation tackle the job and finish it like brave men. It is controversial in

58

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

nature and I shall not discuss it further at present but, with your permission, will address you at a later and more suitable time.
As ages are measured in the aeons of history, three hundred years is but an instant, and yet three hundred years ago, America was a wilderness, the undisturbed and undisputed habitat of the Indian. Our Colonial fathers were natiYes of England, of Scotland, of Ireland, of the other Northern and western States of Europe; they were human, as we are human; they had their country, their homes, their families, their neighbors, their friends, their churches; the sentiments and traditions which hovered about their homes and firesides were as dear to them as are those sentiments dear to us today. And yet those forefathers of ours left their native land and all they loved, to cross the seas, to fell the forests, to conquer the Indians to establish a home in the wilds of a land of toil and privations! Why'? \Vhy did your fathers and mine turn their backs upon a life of comparati,e ease and comfort to build a home across the ocean in a foreign land, an unknown land, though a land of certain sacrifice and suffering? \Vhy'? To found a nation wherein eYery inhabitant should be a citizen and not a subject, free from tyranny and oppression'? Yes. To establish a go\ernment wherein no citizen should ever bow the knees to king or emperor or czar, a nation of free men who could worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences? Yes. To establish a democratic form of government'? Yes, all of that! But all of that you have heard since your school days.
As my contribution to this hour, I here assert that those forefathers had a Yision far broader, a conception far more comprehensive than all of that! They saw across the seas, a land of real freedom, a land of real democracy, a democracy not alone in form but a democracy in substance; a democracy not alone of the mass but a democracy of the individual; a democracy wherein every embryo citizen, without reference to previous class or creed or condition, should have a fair chance in life; a democracy wherein every boy and

59

every girl, whether in the mountains or on the plains, whether on the farm, in the shop or in the store, however circumscribed in environment, however limited in advantages, however handicapped in personal or political position, should have not only a bare legal right, but a fair chance to step out into the light of real opportunity to grow, to develop, to mature, physically, mentally and spiritually into full-blown manhood and womanhood.
And now I come to ask you-you representatives of a sovereign people--have we, in fact, builded here a nation which measures up to the standard fixed by our fathers? Have we here a state which even approximates the realization of the vision of our fathers?
Without a moment's delay let me hasten to say that I am not here to sound a pessimistic note. I have no dark, no dismal, no destructive sentiments to express. By birth and by training I am an optimist-progressive in spirit. I see the dawn of hope in the future. As our fathers before us achieved under supreme difficulties, the new South of the recent past has been marked by notable accomplishments. When we consider the handicaps suffered by the South from the very inception of the nation, the privations of colonial days, the dedication of the South to agriculture with its limitations in comparison with the commercial and industrial sections of the country, the stupefying liabilities of slavery with its blind allegiance to the economic crime of the one-crop system, the limitations incident to sectional strife and hatred, based upon differences in construction of the Constitution originating in the constitutional convention and growing in intensity until it culminated in the Civil War with its sacrifice of the flower and the chivalry of the manhood of the South, followed by those dark and depressing days of reconstruction; many periods of financial panics in recurring cycles of seven to ten years; the highly creditable contributions of our people to the several wars of the nation culminating in the cataclysm of the World War; the appalling depredations of that marauding insect enemy of our main financial crop with the panic incident to the last two

60

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

elements named-the supreme financial depression of all history-! say that in the light of these and other such stupendous handicaps, the South has made most marvelous progress I
And there is just ground for faith in the future of our State. Our schools and colleges are crowded today. In 1906 the total number of graduates from the accredited high schools was 93 ; in 1924 it was 8500; in 1906 the total enrollment in the University of Georgia was 408; last year 1720; seven years ngo the total attendance at Mercer University was 320: last year 1057. The same story comes from Georgia Tech, Emory and other colleges. Our highways are wonderfully improved. A modern State Health Department is being developed with the most modern, best equipped tubercular sanitarium in the South. Our people are placing emphasis upon things that really count in life.
While all this is true, justifying pride in the accomplishment of those who have gone before us, we must not be blind to the fact that the inspiring and uplifting agencies of the State are seriously in need; that some of them are all but gasping for the very breath of life-that every one of the State institutions are suffering from "growing pains" and that before we ever approximate the realization of the vision of our fathers we must double and then quadruple the facilities and equipment of the State institutions to which we look for the training of the thousands of youths who follow after us.
While we are here in the fellowship of this hour, what of the masses outside these walls'? While today a few hundred of our more fortunate young people are enjoying the good fortune of an opportunity for a college education, what shall we say of the tens of thousands of ambitious boys and girls up yonder on the mountain slopes and down yonder on the sandy plains pleading for such a chance? \\<nile we glory in the fact that annually over eight thousand graduates are coming out of the accredited high schools alone, what shall we say to one-half even of these who, if they should knock at the doors of our colleges, would find those

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925.

61

doors barred to their entrance because of lack of room for classes, laboratories and dormitories and of proper maintenance funds? But above all, what shall we say to the other half of the boys and girls of Georgia who have never seen inside a high school or a college: who were equally in the minds and hearts of our forefathers in their vision of a democracy of the individual, those boys and girls on the farm, in the remoter districts, whose only chance for greatness, for preparation for the battle of life, whose only approach to manhood and womanhood is through one of those oneroom, one-teacher school houses with no equipment, no appeal to the artistic or the aesthetic, with a ninth-grade teacher in a school averaging three or four months in the year?
If Georgia's history has been illuminated, if Georgia's manhood has been illustrated by her Hill, her Toombs, her Stephens, her Grady, it was because somewhere, somehow the spark of ambition was kindled in their breasts and they were given an opportunity to develop and mature their natural talents in the schools and Colleges of our State. Permit me to ask what answer shall we give to the hundreds of potential Hills, and Toombs and Stephens and Gradys scattered over the hills of North Georgia and the sandy plains of South Georgia, who today are crying out for such a chance?
If her George Crawford, her Floyd Furlmv, her Joe McCrary, her Glenns, her Greggs, her Towers and Porters, her Norcrosses and Hightowers have contributed materially to her wealth and comfort by developing the natural resources of the land, it was because the light of aspiration was kindled in their souls and they were given the chance to train their hands, their minds and their hearts in Georgia's great Technological Institution. With hidden natural resources in Georgia sufficient to enrich every citizen and to provide surplus funds necessary to furnish the amplest school and college equipment to educate every child in the State, what shall be the answer to the thousands of potential Crawfords and Furlows and McCrarys aU over this imperial State who

62

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

at this very hour are pleading and begging for a chance to train their hands and their minds that they may develop those natural resources?
If our Bishop George F. Pierce and our Bishop Warren Candler and our George Truitt have been privileged to measure up to the fullness of the divine commission, illustrating our State in the spiritual world, as they have gone about over the land reaching and teaching and preaching to millions of grateful souls, it was because they were also privileged to enjoy the training of mind and heart and soul in Christian schools and colleges, and again I ask what of the hundreds of potential Pierces and Candlers and Truitts all over this commonwealth who in their God-given souls are hoping and praying for a chance to measure up to the fulness of the Divine commission through the training of their minds and their hearts and their souls'?
No, we have not measured up to the vision of our forefathers.
If asked the practical question: how can we hope to realize the ideals here expressed, how measure up to the vision of our fathers, I answer: By the Universal education of our children! Drive out ignorance, superstition and prejudice. Train the people to think straight and all our problems civic and political will be solved. Train the people to think straight and bolshevism and radicalism and socialism and every other "ism" will vanish; train a man to think straight and he will treat his neighbor fairly and, moreover, he will not rest until that neighbor treats his neighbor fairly, and the process is continued in order till the line of nations is crossed and the borders of the seas are traversed, till a restless world shall be soothed and tempered into the reign of the Golden Rule, when war shall cease and there will prevail the universal spirit of "Peace on Earth and Good Will to ?\fen."
The ultra-practical will be tempted here to observe that that sounds good; quite idealistic, somewhat sophomoric in expression-but is it feasible? Is it practical?

SATURDAY, JuNE 27, 1925.

63

vVe have on our statute books today a set of laws, with added provision for an equalizing fund now projected, thoroughly practical, thoroughly fair, which permits the people of any section to organize into a centralized, consolidated school district, and to build and equip a modern, high-grade school, to maintain it for a full nine-months term. While to our disgrace we confess that in sight of the State Capitol there is a county with over sixty white schools, over one-half-over thirty-of which are one-room, one-teacher schools, yet the County of Decatur, the county farthest but one from the State Capital, from the center of commerce and trade, from the center of higher learning in the State, the good County of Decatur has set the pace by establishing one of those modern, high-grade, nine-months consolidated schools in every militia district in the County! The little County of Lee has approximated that goal! Glynn and Hart and Bibb and Sumter and the remote but game counties of Camden and Charlton are placing ::;;uch schools within bus-line reach of every boy and girl in their counties! What the County of Decatur, certainly what the little County of Lee has done, any county in Georgia can do and under God must do!
I had the good fortune to drive over practically all of the 1\ew England States a year ago. Those down-east Yankees are not only intelligent people but they are practical, successful business people. Do you know what was the most significant observation of my trip? It was that 'vithout an exception, in every municipality, village, town, small city and large city, the best located, the best built, the best kept, the best equipped building was the school building.
It will not do to say that a fair chance is now being accorded our youth; that they can work their way through college if they will. You will pardon me if I pause for a moment to pay a tribute to those royal spirits, those noble souls who have had the nerve and the character to wait on table, ke~p books at night, sell magazines and books and in a thousand other ways contributed to their own education.

64

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

All honor and glory to these! But the number of these is but small, in comparison with the whole!
And likewise is the answer to the suggestion that if you should build a college at the front door and a high school at the back door of some boys they would not take advantage of the opportunity; that also is true but again I assert that the number of this class is comparatively small.
The point is-the question I raise is of the one-half of the boys and girls living in the remoter sections of the Counties with limited advantages, that one-half who have never seen inside of a high school or a college; .in whose breasts the spark of ambition has never been kindled, whose only vision, if any they have ever seen, was that beclouded one inside the one-room school room with no equipment, no pictures, no inspiration, who have never waked up-never found themselves; whose only wrong-whose only crime--was being born, 'vithout the slightest volition, in an unprogressive section and yet who are penalized by being deprived of the privileges of an education so bountifully supplied without cost to the no more deserving but more fortunate youth in the towns and cities!
We boast that ours is "the land of the free and the home of the brave." vVhile we have builded a nation fairly free from de8potism and tyranny in Government, we are still only half free if the people remain in the bondage of ignorance. We cannot truthfully say that we are free so long as one-half of the boys and girls are allowed to grow up bound and shackled in the slavish bonds of ignorance and prejudice and superstition. Nor are the other half-the privileged half-your children and mine-really free if they are to have as their companions and associates-certainly if they are to find their wives and their husbands from this underprivileged class so discriminated against.
Our orators, our statesmen, have raved and ranted until they were blue in the face of the glories of a nation of "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." What right have we to such claim when one half of the children of the State

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925.

65

have eYery educational privilege, while the other half have practically none?
We vaunt aloud of our universal right of franchise but this right is a deception and a snare in the absence of universal education. The right to vote would be a meaningless nothing if it were not potentially most dangerous while the mind of the voter is not trained to properly assess the virtue of the candidates and the value of the principles involved in the campaign.
We must educate this underprivileged half in order to develop fully the privileged half. It takes competition to bring out the best, lying dormant in men. You train, you educate your boy, you send him out to excel, to lead other boys. What lengths will he reach even if he lead, if those with whom he competes have made no progress, have gone nowhere; to what heights will he attain if he rises above his fellows if those fellows are only pygmies? As some one else has so well said 'yhen it was sought to develop a horse who could race a mile in two minutes, lovers of horses did not try to develop one racer to reach that mark. At first they were satisfied at 2 :40 and then they raised a thousand blooded animals, placed them in competition with each other and spurred them on to lower the record to 2 :35; and then they raise two thousand more to reach 2 :30 and then five thousand and the process was continued until the whole of the kingdom of the horse was improved and developed and in
' T the stress and challenge of enlightened contest the goal of
two minutes flat was attained. e must give every boy, every girl a chance lest some future Hill or Toombs or Stevens is lost to Georgia. Down from humble surroundings in the mountains have come our Bleckleys, our Browns and our Bells, our Millers, our Reids and our Wellborns, our Truitts.
Out of middle Georgia have sprung our Cobbs, our La-
mars, our Sidney Laniers, our Fremonts, our Joel Chandler
Harrises, our William Henry Crawfords.

66

JOURNAL oF THE HousE,

Up from South Georgia have come our Troups, our Berriens, our Brantleys, our Turners, our Pendletons, our Mcintoshs and our Estills.
vVhat right has any man to place his impious hand upon the tousled head of any boy anywhere in Georgia and say that he has not in him the making of a great man and refuse to give him a chance for an education simply because he happened to be born outside of a town or city'? Someone has said that education is the bringing out of a child that which God Almighty put into the child. Then how can we safely overlook the education of any child in North Georgia, in middle Georgia or South Georgia'?
We must provide high class schools in the country as well as in the towns if we save the country and the town by turning back the current of good citizens from the farm to the town-we must forever stop this sapping of the very life-blood of the country by educating the children from the towns to the country instead of educating them from the country to the towns.
We must give to the people of this State and of the South universal education if we preserve to the world the American Democratic Institutions, the very hope of the world. With the Northern and Western States made up of a polyglot citizenship, poisoned with a steadily increasing current of foreign ideas and ideals, people of alien blood who have never known, and can never know, the meaning of American Democracy, we must look to the South, to an educated and a consecrated Anglo-Saxon South, to lead the other states making a permanent success of those institutions now on trial and preserve them to the nations of the world.
Surely I have said enough! To multiply argument would insult your intelligence! A man is unworthy the name of man who, blessed with advantages, is um.,rilling to share those advantages with his underprivileged brother.
There are vitally important incidents to this program of universal education but I have but a moment to refer to them now. I shall have occasion to discuss them with you later. The establishment of modern schools will demand

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925.

67

permanent twelve-months highways on which to carry the children to and from home economically and safely; this system of good roads will revolutionize the social and civic life of the State; bring the people in remote sections in personal contact with those more fortunately situated. Good roads are uplifting, inspiring, elevating, they contribute to good health, they increase trade, they add to property values and in a thousand other ways serve to develop the State.
The establishment of better schools and better roads will inevitably be followed by a demand for better health. The efficiency of the man-power of the State is reduced onethird by sickness, two-thirds of which is preventable; malaria, dengue, hook-worm, typhoid, tuberculosis must be reduced to a minimum. One cannot make a full contribution to his own happiness or that of his family, certainly not to the development of the State if weighted down by the handicap of physical weakness. The economic loss from preventable diseases measured in dollars is stupendousmounting into millions annually.
The program of better schools demands more and better equipped teachers and we must equip and main,tain ample Normal Colleges to supply such teachers. We must provide better paid professors and better equipment for the colleges as they furnish consecrated and trained leaders of thought and sentiment for the promotion of this greater State. Our technical colleges must be equipped to train Georgia youth to develop our untold natural resources, to provide inducements to justify their settling in Georgia, to plan and carry into effect the development of the ports of the State and the scientific marketing of our products, which, in turn, will furnish the surplus income needed to meet the expenses of this plan of expansion.
I would not be candid if I did not say that in my judgment the people of the State will not authorize the expenditure of funds necessary in this program until the present antiquated and unjust tax system is replaced by a system which will distribute the burden of government upon all the classes of

68

JouRXAL oF THE HousE,

people and properties fairly. So long as one-half of the people and one-half of the property of the State are escaping taxation, ''"e cannot have and ought not to have ciYic peace or progress. Certainly no new enterprises will locate here so long as our tax laws are so unsettled and so unsatisfactory. The limitations of this hour will not permit a discussion of the tax problems of the State but I will be permitted to say with all the earnestness I can command that eYery hope for a greater Georgia is a challenge to consecrated service in securing the passage of tax laws which will distribute the expenses of government upon intangible, as well as tangible, property and bring to the tax books all classes of properties which hitherto have been escaping taxation.
I shall detain you but a moment longer. Pardon this personal word~share with me this personal conception: In your inmost thoughts picture yourself occupying the highest position which in your wildest imagination you ever craYed; as having attained the topmost round of success, whether it be in public life, in the social realm, in the line of your profession, or in the financial or industrial world; assume yourself at the end of your career having caned for yourself the very highest niche in the Hall of Fame; if then you must transmit to your children and to your children's children a state, dark, decadent, dying-a state less fit for those children to live in-then your life will have been an utter, miserable failure!
Of late years there has been adopted in our colleges a most effective custom. Between the halves of the foot-ball game or after the 7th inning of the base-ball game every spectator rises, uncovers, assumes the military position of attention and with hand upon heart sings a song called Alma Mater, the alumnus in greeting and gratitude to his beloved mother college, the visitor, friend and foe, in respect for that worthy sentiment. Modern days have developed no more striking or inspiring spectacle-twenty thousand uncovered heads with eyes centered on a central leader, all breathing a common sentiment of loyalty and devotion. Last fall out at Tech there was an even more striking innovation. The

SATURDAY, JUI\'E 27, 1925.

69

day before, an honored teacher, the Patriarch of the faculty, a beloved mentor and faithful friend, had gone to his eternal rest. Though the throngs had assembled for a championship game, not a sound of cheering was heard, the band was hushed, songs were stilled. Suddenly a lone bugler appeared in the center of the field. The multitude arose, quietly uncovered and stood in the silence of sadness while the bugler sounded "taps."
At six o'clock on the evening of August the twenty-second this General Assembly will adjourn sine die; you notice I say at six o'clock- not twelve or three or five--in the name of decency let us adjourn in order-At that hour the sovereign people of Georgia, three millions o( the folks back home, will rise, uncover, center their eyes upon the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House and their fellows, their legislative representatives assembled under the dome supported by the arch of Wisdom, Justice and Moderation, surmounted by the Statue of Liberty challenging with her uplifted torch the enlightenment of every boy and every girl in every part of this imperial State. What will be your answer to the challenge of that last hour'? Will we gather here to hear the bugler sound the funeral "taps" in recognition of our failure and then with bowed heads silently wend our way homeward'? .:\:lay we not rather assemble in joint meeting to sing Georgia's Alma Mater Song-a song of victory significant of the laying of the foundation at least of a greater and a better Georgia!
May God grant you grace and wisdom that that hour may be indeed Georgia's hour of supreme victory!

The Committee appointed atthe 1924 session of the General Assembly to negotiate for the purchase of a Governor's Mansion submitted the following report:

To The General Assembly of Georgia:
Your committee appointed by the presiding officers of the last General Assembly pursuant to Resolution 51 as published in the Acts of 1924, beg to submit the following report:
The Resolution above cited empowered your committee to "negotiate for the purchase of a suitable home for the Governor, and to report to the next General Assembly" subject to the approval of the present General Assembly. Shortly after appointment we met in Atlanta for the purpose of organization and to decide upon Ways and Means for most effectively carrying out the purpose of the Resolution.
Almost continuously since that time we have been making a most exhaustive investigation as to location and prices on available places located within the County of Fulton, and to this end we have through individual investigation and public hearings (after publicity) heard without limit the merits and demerits of places available.
We have given serious consideration not only to availability-values-and other things entering into the making of a proper recommendation but also to the financial condition of our State.
We of course realize that if there was no limit to the amount which should be paid for a "Governor's Home,'; the most ambitious recommendation would be one con-

WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1925.

121

templating the purchase of a lot and building, a most pretentious edifice which would be a show place for the nation. This, however, would have its disadvantages, as even a Governor should have at times those Godly surroundings which constitute real home life rather than to be set up (at his home) on a pedestal to be gazed upon by sightseers and pointed out as one of the wonders of the World.

We have endeavored to find at reasonable cost a pretentious yet home like place in thorough keeping with the dignity of the office of Governor of the Great State of Geor-
gia.
"\Ve have carefully guarded against arriving at any conclusion which would allow the State to pay more than an individual for the same property.

vVe have taken into consideration the resale value of places under consideration; have endeavored to handle the matter in the same manner as representatives of the State, as we would our own business.

As stated above, after the most careful and painstaking investigation and giving consideration to all circumstances as above, we respectfully submit the following recommendations:
That the General Assembly purchase on terms which coincide with payments received from the lease of the former Governor's l\:Iansion (so as not to be a burden on the State Treasury). The place now occupied by the present Governor under a Lease contract and in addition those three acres in the rear of said property and immediately adjacent thereto, known as Collier Property.

This property is located in Ansley Park, a most excellent subdivision in the City of Atlanta. We consider Ansley Park one of the most conservative and representative resident sections in the City of Atlanta.

122

JovRKAL oF THE HousE,

It is composed of citizens now residing in Atlanta who have moved to Atlanta from all sections of Georgia.
The restrictions on all Ansley Park property guarantee its use for only high class and desirable homes.
No unsightly apartment house, stores, or other commercial buildings can ever be erected or maintained in the park.
All its ten miles of wide boulevards are permanently paved, its homes and the beautiful grounds surrounding each of them are well kept.
The whole of Ansley Park is well lighted and it abounds with excellent parks, playgrounds, and other amusement centers for children and adults.
It is located near the center of the city yet has all the advantages of country property.
South of the property recommended is Ansley Park itself while on its North is a large yet undeveloped area, which is said to be the most valuable tract of undeveloped property South of Washington, D. C.
The site recommended is accessible to all parts of the City, being almost upon Piedmont Avenue which leads directly to the Capitol and which is :o.ow being widened to a 70 foot Boulevard.
It is easily accessible to the other main arteries of Atlanta such as Peachtree and Spring, West Peachtree Streets and the Boulevard.
It is within a short distance of the Piedmont Avenue, the Peachtree and vVest Peachtree car lines, and is immediately on the south of the modern bus line of the Ga. Ry. & Power Company which is the most modern in the United States not excepting Fifth Avenue, New York City.
This place is believed superior to all-the recommendation embraces slightly more than six acres fronting on the Prado and near Maddox drive and Montgomery's Ferry Drive.

WEDNESDAY, JuLY 1, 1925.

123

The residence site is one of the highest in Fulton County, being about 1200 feet above sea level and about 40 feet above surrounding streets. This assures to our Governor and his family an ideal atmosphere in the warmest weather.

The Mansion itself is one of the finest and most substantial and was built at large cost. It has seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and has large wide verandas; its reception rooms and front arrangements are easily capable of entertaining from 300 to 400 guests.

It is constructed of solid granite resting upon natural rock, a part of, according to geologists, our own Stone Mountain.

After considerable negotiation on the part of your committee we have received a price for the entire tract above submitted of $86,000, and we are firmly of the opinion that the property will never decrease in value but on the contrary will sell in the future at a higher price.

This property is under option by the Ansley Park Civic League and negotiations may be concluded through J. Hope Tigner, Secretary and Treasurer of the League.

MESSAGE OF
GovERNOR CLIFFORD WALKER

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the. General Assembly:
In behalf of the State, permit me to express the thanks of the people to your honored President of the Senate and Speaker of the House for their strong appeals for serious concentration of mind and close application to the duties so vital to the future of Georgia which are now to engage your attention. In thorough accord with this spirit, I shall address myself directly to the problems to be solved.
The Constitution requires the Governor to advise with the Legislature. I come with no desire to dictate; my only purpose is to aid you, if I may, in laying the foundation for the building of a great State. I conceive that the hour has come for plain speaking and courageous acting; I shall not hesitate to bear my own part today; I have every confidence 'that you, on your part, will act courageously tomorrow. In the economy of time and that I may not be misunderstood or erroneously quoted, I shall speak largely from notes and I beg of you your careful and sympathetic hearing. First, let us consider briefly the
HISTORY OF TAXATION I~ GEORGIA.
The present tax laws, which levy one uniform rate ad valorem on all classes of properties, were enacted many years ago; they were fairly satisfactory at that time because practically all property was tangible. It consisted mainly of farm lands, live stock and farm implements. Cities were few, towns were small. There were no railroads, no banks, no factories. There were a few stores; the store-houses and the stocks of merchandise were visible and could be fairly valued and assessed for taxation. It is true that in rare

198

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

instances there would be found in the rear of the store a little iron safe and that safe contained a few notes and mortgages which were invisible and probably were not fairly returned for taxation. But these intangibles were so small in proportion to tangible property that the ad valorem system was accepted as reasonably satisfactory. However, from that day to this the proportion of these invisibles and intangibles has grown to an amazing degree; indeed they have grown to be from one-half to two-thirds of all the property of the State. The little iron ~afe in the back corner of an occasional store grew to a big safe in every store and then to a bank vault and now to great safety-deposit storage vaults covering basement floors of great office-buildings. In the meantime the people have required more and more of the State; the functions of government have been rapidly and steadily .enlarged; the people have demanded that it enter almost every sociological field till there has arisen a cry against paternalism and not without reason. Millions and more millions have been exacted of the people for war, for pensions, for crime, for jails, for penitentiaries, for the insane, for the feeble-minded-so many millions that only a miserly fraction has been left for education, for highways, and for other uplifting and inspiring agencies of the State. And yet as the years have gone by and functions of government have increased, the necessary additional taxes to meet these mounting millions have beeri levied upon real estate and other tangible property while tax-receivers and sheriffs have failed to find the intangibles. So they have added and continued to add to the burden of the intangible property owner till the end has come; the limit has been reached. If you add another dollar to the taxes on real estate you will confiscate that real estate; you will sell the homes of law abiding citizens who have been paying practically all of the taxes in the past while the owners of notes, mortgages and other intangibles flourish with their hidden wealth exempted from taxation by our worn-out tax laws.
Having studied together the history of taxation and, I trust, fairly demonstrated that our present laws have utterly

TuESDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

199

broken down, let us next consider the history of the efforts to relieve the over-burdened owners of real estate and other tangibles.
THE HISTORY OF EFFORTS FOR TAX REFORMS
For twenty years, as conditions have grown more and more unbearable, conscientious governors and patriotic legislators have persisted in efforts to right these wrongs; for these twenty years every angle of the question has been studied. We have had available the experiences of other states. Legislatures have given it extended consideration in sessions both regular and extraordinary. We have had our budget and investigating commissions, our tax commissions, our state survey commissions. They were made up from our brainiest minds, our safest and sanest business men and our successful farmers. Not once has the charge of playing politics been lodged against a member of these commiSSIOns. They have traveled over the State on their own expense; they .have had first-hand conferences with the people of all classes. They have personally inspected and surveyed the needs of every state institution. Their conclusions are recorded in reports filed and preserved in the archives of the State available to any citizen.
And what have been the results of all these studies? All of these commissions have unanimously reached the following conclusions:
I. That the present ad valorem tax system, placing practically all the burdens of taxation on tangible property, has absolutely broken down in Georgia as in every other state.
2. That intangible property has grown to be one-half or more of all property and is now practically escaping taxation.
3. That the unequal and unjust proportion of expense of government borne by tangible property has reached the limit and any additional levies must be placed upon intangible properties.

200

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

4. That the people seem unable to understand that the real burden is not state tax, but county, city and special taxes, the former averaging only one-seventh of the whole.
5. That, in spite of wild and wanton charges of waste even assuming that certain economies may yet be practiced, the State government is still economically administered, being only one-half that of Virginia, and less than any state in the South save two.
6. That Georgia spends less on education per inhabitant than any of the southern states.
7. That Georgia invests less in public school property and college plants and appropriates less for maintenance of her colleges than any other southern state.
8. That, as the survey commission reports the plant of the State University, the oldest in the Union, is "out of date," with a "lack of even the most ordinary living conveniences, not to mention average comfort." Over 1,000 acres of campus and. almost all of the plant was donated to the State. Not one penny has been appropriated by the State for buildings in the last twenty years.
9. That every other educational and eleemosynary institution is suffering from growing pains, showing vital need of enlarged plants and increased maintenance funds.
10. That the only means of supplying the necessary new funds is bringing to the taxbooks invisible and intangible properties now escaping taxation.
11. That the one controversial problem to be solved by the Legislature is that of the best method of reaching these intangibles.
That job you have now tackled and that job I confidently believe you will finish like brave men. If I may aid you in that task, in compliance with my obligation under the Constitution to assist and advise with you in your deliberations, I now say to you that my studies have satisfied me that the

best if not the only plan to reach intangibles for taxation is a combination of (1) The Classification System and (2) The Income Tax System.
PLAX TO REACH lKTANGIBLE PROPERTY.
Tax experts agree that a combination of two systems is most satisfactory. The Tax Commission of 1918 appointed by Governor Dorsey made up of non-partisan, non-political, highly intelligent and patriotic citizens reported as best suited to the peculiar needs of Georgia a combination of the Classification and Income System. I have been unable to find any better suggestion.
1. The Classification Tax System. This is no new thing. It was in effect in England when America was founded and was brought over by our Colonial Fathers. As its name implies, it recognizes that as properties differ in income producing character they should be classified and different rates fixed accordingly. So a hundred years ago our fathers fixed a much lower rate of taxes per acre on forest lands which bear a crop, say, every twenty years, than on cultivated lands which bear from one to three crops a year. So wild lands and pasture lands should bear a smaller rate than improved lands. An illustration of greater present interest, since we are dealing with intangibles, is its application in that field. As already indicated, over one-half of the property in the State is intangible. Practically none of it is taxed. The explanation is simple. The income from intangibles, notes, mortgages, stocks, bonds, will average not more than 7% per annum. Under our present system they are taxable at full value for State, County, City, School and Special Taxes averaging not less than 37'2%, or a tax of 50% of the income. This is so manifestly unfair, being in effect confiscatory, that by common consent we simply do not return intangibles for taxation. If the present laws should be enforced owners of intangibles would either sell them or move out of the State. The common sense course is to
place a fair rate, say Y2 of 1% on intangibles and then place
such machinery in motion as would invalidate these intangi-

202

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

bles if taxes are not paid, or otherwise force them upon the

tax books. This system will repeal the present uniform tax

laws and well it may for the only real uniformity about our

present system is the uniformity with which all men owning

invisible property succeed in escaping taxation. It is true

that this system will furnish a fine field for the demagogue

as he can quite forcefully engender prejudice by pointing

out a higher rate on one class of property and a lower on

another. The complete answer is that we are now getting

no taxes on intangibles and any sum we may raise in the

future at 'vhatever rate will be just that much of relief off

the shoulders of the tax payers. The effect of the Classifi-

cation Tax, as successfully tested in Maryland, Kentucky

and other states, would be to raise around one-half million

dollars from citizens and property heretofore escaping taxa-

tion entirely. This in turn means that the owners of real

estate and tangible property will be relieved of burdens of

whatever sum may be raised from intangibles. This Gener-

al Assembly will be asked only to submit a Constitutional

Amendment permitting the people to say \vhether they will

approve the new system. Since the people in the over-

whelming endorsement of this administration have decreed

that the antiquated uniform system must be reformed, it is

difficult to see how any member can object to allowing the

people a vote on the question.



If the Classification Tax is incorporated in our laws its

friends concede that it will realize probably one-half million,

certainly not more than orre million dollars, even if carefully

enforced. The history of new tax laws in Georgia is a suc-

cession of litigation, delay, default and defiance. In my

judgment, new monies actually collected would no more

than provide funds to cover projects to which the state is

already committed with no provision for an educational

equalization or building program or a constructive highway

program. Thoroughly convinced that patriotic citizens in

large majority not only wish but demand constructive

educational and highway progress, I know of no better

method of raising additional necessary funds than the

TuESDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

203

2. Net Income Tax. Little argument has been adduced against the justice of this system. Many even of those who will pay the largest additional taxes openly assert that it is the fairest tax on earth, placing the burden upon those most able to pay it, viz.: those who for the current year are blessed with large net profits while relieving those not so fortunate. Against the tax are urged, by a small minority, four points worthy of notice:
(I) The danger of constantly increasing rates or surtaxes. I favor a limitation in the Constitution to a maximum of 5% and any other safeguard against undue increases or other unsound or unfair provisions.
(2) The inquisitorial method of enforcement by the Federal Government. The Legislature in prescribing necessary regulations can be trusted to see that our own people are fairly and courteously treated.
(3) Cost of Administration. If the Assembly sees fit it can provide that the tax payer shall simply swear to an exact copy of his return to the Federal Government and provide that he shall pay to the State a certain proportion of the amount fixed for Federal taxes. The State would thus get the benefit of the inspection, the checking and every other method of enforcement by the Federal authorities with minimum expense to the State. South Carolina has found this plan satisfactory.
(4) Keeping Out New Industries. Much will be heard on this score. Let it be remembered that the greatest manufacturing state in the Union, Massachusetts, has had an income tax for over a hundred years. Such industries as have left the North to come South have largely located in North Carolina, a state which also has had an income tax. The Federal Government made a material reduction in its income tax this year and will make another next year. If the State should fix its rate at a figure equal only to these reductions, it would raise funds amply sufficient to meet our needs. Wbat industry demands is not so much low taxes as stabilized taxes; it prefers a settled unfavorable system to

204

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

an unsettled favorable system. Certainly those most interested in the betterment of industrial conditions as well as those who appreciate the need of an increased income for the State should be most active in securing early and final settlement of the tax questions.
Having discussed the history of taxation, the history of efforts to reform the tax laws, and having given you my plan to obtain relief, let us see if there is any real
l\ ECESSITY FOR TAX REFORMS.
If we do not need any new money we should still pa:,;s these reform laws to equalize the burdens by distributing them among all classes; we should still take measures to tax the intangibles and reduce the ad valorem tax on the tangibles since equality is the basis of fair taxation. But must we raise additional monies'? \Vhat is the real condition of affairs in Georgia today'?
I discussed at great length in my inaugural address our obligations to the under-privileged boys and girls who live outside the incorporated towns and cities. Public conscience has at last been aroused to the fact that it is unmoral and unfair to penalize a child by depriving it of practically every educational advantage because it happens to be born in a remote section. Enlightened thought now demands that we equalize the advantages or lack of advantages heretofore offered such remote sections by supplementing on a fifty-fifty basis such local taxes as the limited taxable values will stand through a part of the common school fund to be knmvn as the Equalization Fund and I propose that a minimum of One Million Dollars annually of new monies be levied upon intangibles for this p~rpose.
The development of the agricultural resources of the ::-;tate is now, and will be in the future, of prime importance to progress. We must train our youth to lower the cost and increase the production through our Agricultural Institutions, while we train our boys at the TechnologicTl School to develop the other natural resources of the State to provide the funds necessary to maintain a greater State.

TuESDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

205

I propose one half million dollars annually additional investment in this field.
If we establish the consolidated school system in the counties 'vhich I deliberately say is the hope of the State and which under God I believe we will establish, we will be wasting millions if we do not furnish these schools with trained competent and consecrated teachers. It is a crime to penalize helpless youth by placing them under a seventh or eighth grade teacher. I assert without fear of successful contradiction that there can be found in all the world no more economical, no more consecrated, no more worthy service than that now being rendered by the 1'\onnal Schools at 1\Iilledgeville, at Athens and at Valdosta. Let us, once for all, forever crystallize the thought that we are not spending money on these great institutions, we are 1"nresting money; imesting money not only in the hearts and lives of these students but in the hearts and lives of the millions of boys and girls whom they are to reach later as teachers in the common schools of the State. And since this is a day for plain speaking, I want to say as Governor of this State that it is a shame, nay, is nothing less than a disgrace to the imperial State of Georgia, that men like Dr. Parks and Dr. Pound and Dr. Po"ell have to ~pend the summers climbing up this Cnpitol Hill, wenring out their physical strength already depleted by owr-comcimtious effort in their college work, on mlaries less than these paid deputy sheriffs or profe~sional base-ball players in Atlanta, humiliating themselns begging for a miserly pittance on which to train teachers to teach your children and mine, and persuading legislators to realize the folly of spending millions on criminals and insane and thousands on education, rather than millions on education and thousands on decreased crime and insanity. One third of all the teachers resign each year: one-third of all the teachers are under the eleventh grade. To properly train competent teachers for our schools we need three times the buildings, three times the equipment and three times the maintenance now furnished our Normal Schools. Let us forever forget the thought of any expenditure for such pur-

206

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

pose and talk only of how much money we cab invest in the hearts and minds and souls of the children of Georgia. These Normal Schools should have a minimum maintenance fund of a half million dollars annually.
For a hundred years the State appropriated nothing to the maintenance of the University. While for twenty years our neighboring states have appropriated millions for building university plants equipped for modern needs, Georgia has appropriated not one cent! Every dollar appropriated by the State for 130 years for buildings, for equipment and for maintenance, for 130 years I say, totals less than is appropriated annually by each of the several of the new Western states for maintenance of their universities alone! The consequence is that the present physical condition of the University is disgraceful as is apparent to even the most casual observer whether measured by the equipment of other State Universities or by the actual needs to provide efficient service. Over three hundred girls now attend the University without a single dormitory, being scattered all over the city. The recent report of the Board of Visitors, selected from the State at large without any reference to personal interest in the University, says:
"V{e desire to commend unreservedly the character of work that is being done by the various departments under present conditions. On every hand we find evidence of careful management and of thorough and competent instruction. 'Ve are glad to report that apparently every precaution is taken to safeguard the physical, moral and spiritual welfare of the university student. There is evident a marked improvement in the morale of the student body. We commend the recent Pastors' and Parents' day as worthy of being continued.
"However, we find that many departments are overcrowded with students, that the student body is constantly increasing, that the present teaching force is inadequate to give proper instruction to the large number of students enrolled, that the equipment is for the most part insufficient

TuESDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

207

and that in a number of cases the quarters assigned to various departments are entirely too limited. It is quite possible, if not probable, that our state university will soon lose its standing as a class A college unless prompt relief is given. It is unthinkable that loyal Georgians should permit an institution which ought to be the pride of the state to meet with such a fate. In our opinion, a crisis has been reached. The time has come when Georgia can no longer afford to starve its educational institutions.
The State Survey Committee of which Hon. C. Murphy Candler was Chairman, selected as a non-partisan, nonpolitical committee to make a survey of the needs of the State's institutions, without reference to any personal interest in any of them, reported on the higher educational institutions as follows:
"Your Committee has given very careful consideration to the needs of the higher ranking educational institutions of the State, that is: the University proper, at Athens; the College of Agriculture; the School of Technology; the State Normal School; the College for Women at Milledgeville; the Woman's College at Valdosta, and the Medical Department of the University at Augusta.
"In our opinion the State has never adequately equipped or maintained one of these institutions. They have all had to pinch and economize and appeal for outside help in order to meet, even partially, the demands of a large portion of the youth of the State for higher educational opportunity in State institutions. Georgia has some outstanding nonState institutions, ranking with the best in the South; these are filled to their capacities, but they cannot meet the State's needs. The State has very properly relieved them of the burden of taxation on their school properties and Endowrn:ent Funds and this is about as far as it can constitutionally go, so that the large body of youth seeking college education in other than denominational or private institutions must look to the State or attend institutions outside the State."

208

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The University at Athens is, as already stated, the oldest State University in the United States. One of its dormitories in use today was erected in 1806 and a second in 1823. The present chapel was erected in 1831. Any one who will go through them will be impressed with their lack of even the most ordinary living conveniences, not to mention average comfort. Other buildings upon the campus are only a little less antiquated and lacking in adaptability to their uses. Every modern structure on the campus, and they are few, has been financed and built and donated to the State by friends and Alumni of the University. The original campus was donated to the State by Governor Milledge and every acre since added thereto has been purchased and donated by the Alumni until now it embraces over one thousands acres, not one of which was purchased by the State. The State has not appropriated a penny to the erection of any building for this institution in oYer twenty years. Less than ten per cent of the value of the present plant has been contributed by the State and yet this is the State's "University. The buildings on the campus because of their age and lack of proper repairs and maintenance, are probably less suited for their present uses than are those of any of the branches of the University above mentioned. Those other institutions, howeYer, are in pressing need of additional buildings.
"If the University proper, the College of Agriculture, the School of Technology, and the Normal School and the Colleges for Women are to continue to rank with like institutions in neighboring states; if they are to do work that will entitle their diplomas to recognition beyond the borders of the State, Georgia must provide adequate plants, equipment and maintenance, or else as our forefathers declared in 1784, we will be forced "to humiliating acknowledgment of the ignorance or inferiority of our own.' "
I propose a bond issue of from ten to fifteen million dollars for buildings and equipment, as a foundation for a fifty-fifty equalization fund, for consolidated schools in the remote

TuESDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

209

sections of the counties, and for buildings and equipment for our higher educational institutions which will place them on a par in physical plant and facilities to train our boys and girls with those of our sister states.
At the University is a plant which cost over a million dollars including over one thousand acres in and near the center of the city. The State has appropriated on that plant $180,000 while all the rest has been given to the State. The same is true at Georgia Tech and at the Milledgeville College. The Tech plant is valued at nearly two millions of dollars yet less than two hundred thousand has been appropriated by the State. The Milledgeville College plant is worth over a million with less than two hundred thousand from the State and yet the boys at Georgia Tech have had no religious services, no chapel exercises for years because no adequate chapel has been supplied. Their graduation exercises must be held out of doors and frequently are interrupted by rains. At l\lilledgeville the chapel holds only the students-not one of the parents of the graduates can see their daughters graduate because of a lack of chapel room. At Tech last year t\vo hundred and fifty ambitious, AngloSaxon, Georgia boys, too poor to pay their way through college were turned away even from the Co-operati\'e department which is equipped for such boys to work a month and study a month-because of lack of dormitory and laboratory and class room and equipment. Two-thirds of the sickness of the State, causing an economic loss of millions annually, could be prevented if ample proYision could be made for the State Health Department. Out at the Training School for Delinquent Girls is the spectacle of a wellconstructed building vacant for the \vant of a few thousand dollars for maintenance. The Courts and Special Agencies are begging for admission of such girls there and of wayward boys at the TrainiEg School for Delinquent Boys at Milledgeville which is in practically the same condition. At Gracewood School for the feeble-minded children I saw twenty girls sleeping in one small dormitory room with their little beds jammed so tight that one could not get in

between them to make them up. There was not a particle of adornment on the walls of the rooms save a small fragment of glass improvised for the use as a mirror and no provision for their comfort save one old broken-down rocking chair with broken arms while the only piece of play-ground equipment for their amusement was one old, frazzled rope swing. I am told that only slightly better conditions exist in the dormitory for our unfortunate deaf children at CaYe :-3prings.
These eleemosynary institutions and secondary schools actually need one-half million dollars additional with annual maintenance.
And yet with a record of illiteracy that is humiliating, conditions all but disgraceful in practically every uplifting and inspiring institution of this imperial State--this State imperial in territory, this State imperial in natural resources, in the fertility of her soil and the variety of climatic conditions, this State imperial in the character and the ability of her citizenry-with all this, every year for twenty years when patriotic Georgians, have come here to plead that such di:~graceful conditions be bettered, that humane treatment be accorded the wards of the State, that the one-half of the underprivileged boys and girls in the country be given a fair chance in life, and suggesting that the necessary new funds be raised by forcing the owners of intangible and invisible property to pay a just share of the expenses of government; with all this, professional opponents of reform and misguided though honest men come here to say that conditions are well enough. They have been perfectly willing for Georgia to stand still or lag behind while Empires are being builded to the North of us and to the South of us.
I trust, therefore, that we may all agree that the tax question should be settled, right now, in this session. Heartened by the sincere assurance of your presiding officers and the evident determination of the members to serve the people by buckling down to enact constructive legislation I feel that it is unnecessary to dwell further upon an appeal that

211

tax reforms be no longer delayed. Industries prefer a stable unfavorable tax system to an unsettled favorable system. Our State will never prosper as it should so long as there is unrest and bitterness over this matter. The common people are not in a frame of mind and will not be to enter upon a great educational and highway program even if the means were available so long as they believe and have good ground to believe that practically all of the burdens are being borne by one-half of the people while the other half are practically escaping taxation. We have fifty days yet available in which to finish the job. So my first proposition is that we settle this question promptly at this session.
We have all the data, all the information we may need. We have available the experience of other states. At the last convention of Governors I found that practically every state which had the income tax was pleased with it and practically every state which did not have it was endeavoring to secure it. In Georgia we have studied the question for twenty years; during my first administration we gave especial and almost exclusive study to it in both regular and . extraordinary sessions, the latter called for that purpose only.
For the benefit of the large number of new members in the Assembly who are not so familiar with tax legislation, I feel that I should add that this history of taxation and efforts toward reform would not be complete without reference to specious arguments which have always been and doubtless will now be urged against any measure of relief. For these same twenty years, as inequalities in taxation have grown worse and worse, tax payers' leagues and representatives of special interests have appeared with arguments which have confused the minds of over-careful members into doing nothing while the people continued to suffer, absolutely blocking all reform legislation. In the meantime these expert blockers have never made a single constructive suggestion which would relieve the suffering, properly distribute the burden, or make any contribution to the material development of the St'ate.

212

JouRXAL OF THE HovsE,

These special interests already work in conjunction with good men who are confused or are misled into seeing dangers which do not exist or into advocating other measures-the effect of which, however pure the motive or patriotic the purpose, is to defeat all relief. I realize that while I speak there are those in this body and outside this body, good men and true, who on principle and in good faith, do not agree with some of the views here expressed. For thier honest vie\vs I have of course, the highest respect. I come to appeal to all of these to approach the solution of these problems in a constructin spirit of "give and take," looking to the adjustment of differences of opinion so that \Ye may not longer \Yithhold relief from our suffering people. Permit me to warn again the ne\ver members of this body who are not familiar with the operations of the professional outside tax reform blockers. :-lome of these engage in such work on a salary for a living. Some act from pride of authorship of other tax measures, some act because real reform will result in reaching some of their hidden wealth. .:\lose of them are men who have enjoyed all the privileges and protection of gmernment, whose wealth has been accumulated largely by enhancement of values through civic growth and improvements to which they have contributed little-men mer-privileged and over-fortunate who have no feeling for the under-privileged child: men who have little idea how the other half, the under-privileged half, lin; men who hold College diplomas and whose sons hold College diplomas but who have no sympathy for the poor boys who \Yould find the doors of the Colleges barred for lack of room if they could knock for entrance. If such men come before you deploring agitation for additional state taxes remember that state taxes are just a small fraction averaging only oneseventh of all taxes. If they raise the "man of straw" of the income tax driving mvay industry, ask them what is the greatest industrial state in the Union'? It is :Massachusetts, and :Massachusetts has had an income tax for over a hundred years. 1'\ew York collects hundreds of millions annually in income taxes without complaint from business or industry. Ask

TuESDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

213

them if an income tax will keep industry out, why those which have come South have not located in Georgia which has no income tax but hare located in North Carolina which has an income tax'? If they say that .the Constitutional Amendment in Florida prohibiting inheritance and income
tax has brought millions of people to that state-and I
understand that that argument has influenced some of your good members-ask them in all fairness if it is not a fact that this amendment was passed only a few months ago while the current of people going to Florida started long before that amendment was ever proposed. Ask them if, on the contrary, it is not true that people have gone to Florida to invest their money in real estate while the taxes on real estate in that state are over twice as high as in Georgia.
It may be true that a few owners of intangible property have established their citizenship in Florida to escape income or inheritance taxes. If so we have lost nothing as they have paid no such tax in Georgia. while I would welcome any man who might come here to escape n confiscatory tax, that man who seeks to escape a fair tax on his hidden wealth while he sends his children to state schools and enjoys the protection of state courts and other blessings of government which add to the burdens of tangible property owner, is not a good citizen and his coming \Vill add little if anything to the civic character of the state-it will not contribute toward the ideals of good citizenship, upon which moral foundation the ultimate wealth of any state must finally rest. The spiritual state towers about and abo,e the physical state and the two must advance in proportionate ratio if the structure is to remain. We must take care, gentlemen of the Assembly, that we do not teach our sons and daughters to place a premium upon wealth and at the same time a discount upon the moral obligation of civic brotherhood at any price. "The majesty of the State must find and kindle a Spiritual majesty in the soul of every citizen, or the State itself will rest on the shifting sands of personal desires, personal profits and personal ends and when on such a house the rain descends and the floods come

and the winds blow and beat upon it, that house will fall and great will be the fall thereof."
Two years ago we were stirred to envy by the industrial progress of North Carolina. Industry went there in spite of an income tax. People went there because of its progress as manifested in a great educational program and a great highway program. Today we are stirred to envy by the real estate progress of Florida. People are going there in spite of an 11 mill tax on real estate. The eyes of the world are centered on the South. People are coming through Georgia by the million. 'Nealth has gone to Florida and men have gone to Florida because Floridians have opened their natural playground to pleasure-seeking people through the inestimable service of good roads. I challenge you to open North Georgia's wonderful scenic beauty to the world by good roads and it \\Till become the summer playground for all people to the South of us. Give us a fair tax on intangibles that will finance a great educational program and a great highway program which will arrest the attention of tourists as they pass until they awake to the superior advantages of our wonderful State. Enthusiasm will be aroused in our people and Georgia will prosper as North Carolina and Florida have done. I weigh my words when I say that in my judgment the 75 million dollars invested in a modern highway system in North Carolina has been worth 75 millions in advertising the state in the outside world, has increased values mpre than the cost and has been a fine investment if the highway system had not been worth a cent in intrinsic value to the people of the state. It will be worse than a calamity, it will be a crime if we ever hesitate to go forward-certainly if we allow petty politics or personal interests to defeat this progressive program and thus doom Georgia to a place as a second-rate State.
I trust that I have now fairly demonstrated that this state has urgent need of an increased income of not less than three million dollars annually; that this sum would be no undue burden upon the intangible property of the State. Tangibles are paying around nine millions in taxes. Can

TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1925.

215

it be said that three millions levied upon an equal value in intangibles is confiscatory or unfair or unjust'? Six millions would be its full share. If one half of the property of the state-tangible property-is paying nine millions of taxes can any one fairly say that the ather half of the propertyintangible property-should not pay at least three millions'? Would it drive any patriotic citizen away from Georgia, would it keep any legitimately managed industry out of Georgia to ask one-half of the property now escaping taxation entirely-the notes, the mortgages, the bonds, the stocks, the property owned in large measure by people of wealth who are able to pay their full share of taxes, whose incomes justify and good morals demand the payment of that full share-to pay these three millions which would approximate only one-fourth of the expenses of the State'?
How will we raise the three millions from intangibles'? I propose that we raise it by a combination of first-The Classification of Tax and second-The Income Tax. I apprehend that there will be little opposition to the Classification Tax. If from principle or from prejudice against the method of administration of the Federal System or for any other reason you are opposed to the income tax, then v.-ill you not admit that it is incumbent on you to suggest some other better substitute method to reach these intangibles in the amount of the three millions'? So far I am concerned with all the influence of the Executive I pledge you my aid in securing the adoption of any conservative substitute plan which any opponent of the Income Tax Plan will suggest if the Comptroller General and the State Auditor will certify that in their opinion the substitute plan will actually cover into the State Treasury Three Million Dollars annually of new taxes upon the invisible and intangible property.
In the face of such a proposition, do you not think it equal: ly fair that if no such substitute plan is suggested it is proof sufficient that no better or fairer plan is known'? You should join me in a constructive spirit in framing the Classification Amendment and the Income Tax Amendment

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

throwing about it in the Qonstitution itself such limitations and safe-guards as will protect all the interests of all the people of the State.
I trust, indeed I sincerely believe, that after mature deliberations the vast majority of you will agree that my suggestions are reasonable and fair.
Though it involve a number of personal pronouns, which I trust you will pardon, I feel that you are entitled to know that for three years, since the day I was nominated I have taken e\'ery possible opportunity to make every possible appeal to the business men of this State to aid me and the legislature in a constructive spirit to work out a sane and a safe and conservative tax system for Georgia. I have told them plainly that every hope of a great state was a challenge to enact a tax system which would reach the intangibles; that the best system I could suggest was a combination of the Classification and Income Taxes, I have implored them to co-operate with me in a constructive spirit to work out a better and safer plan if there were in fact any danger or any injustice in the plan I suggested. Now after three years of such persistent entreaty I earnestly submit that you should give very little if any heed to the critic of the other man's plan if that critic has no better plan of his own to submit.
There is yet time, if thoughtful business men care to make real constructive contributions to the solution of the problem. Again and finally I sound the call to patriotic Georgians to suggest and help us to adopt a better plan to reach intangibles than the Classification plan plus the Income Tax plan. If such a plan is suggested within a reasonable time and you believe it feasible, adopt it and I will take great pleasure in approving it. If no such plan is brought to your attention, in the name of the under-privileged boys and girls of Georgia, born and to be born, in the name of a greater state, I here call upon all of you, advocates and opponents of the plan here submitted, to compose your differences,

TuEsDAY, JuLY 7, 1925.

217

agree upon proper limitations and safe-guards, and then in the statesmanlike spirit of "give and take", enact such a law.

I commend as the highest type of statesmanship the spirit of the declaration of an honored member of your body, a new member whose family name has always stood for integrity_ of character and conservatism in thought, who after my inaugural address said to me "I am with you cordially in three-fourths of your program and I will be with you in the other fourth unless some better suggestion is made."

I could say more but I must not detain you longer. I have spoken in very plain language today. I have not hesitated to lay bare our weaknesses. One-half the battle against disease is a proper diagnosis of the case. If our loved one is ill we want the full truth and nothing but the truth so that we can prepare to combat the dangers. I have sought to tell you the full truth as to Georgia's needs today so that we may face this serious crisis in her history squarely and fight for her future as only Southern men can fight for their State. Having diagnosed the case it is now up to you to provide the remedy, it is up to you to place and preserve Georgia in that high position which she should now hold and forever maintain. Wisdom justifies this effort; Justice demands it; and in JJ;Joderation of expense, through equal distribution of burdens, it can be done.

SPECIAL COMMU:\'ICATION

The following Communication was received from his
Excellency, the Governor, and was read:
To the General As:oembly:
The present state administration in approaching the solution of tax problems has followed a fixed policy of calling into consultation men representative of the farming, the banking, the manufacturing and other business interests of the state. I am transmitting to you, in printed form, the results of the studies so made, including the reports of (1) the Tax Commission of 1919, appointed by Governor Dorsey, (2) the Tax Commission of 1924, appointed by the present Executive, (3) the Survey Committee, headed by Mr. Murphy Candler and (4) the Committee headed by Mr. Eugene Black. Since the members of these commissions were selected for their freedom from partisanship and since there has never been the slightest intimation of political influence in their deliberations their fingings deserve, and I am sure will have, the profoundest consideration of the General Assembly. Each of these commissions had the benefit of experts on taxation on their own roster and outside their ranks. They studied the opinions of these experts, the reports of other Tax Commissions and the experience of other states in experiments with the different forms of taxation. By sub-committee they went to Canada and studied the operation of the Sales tax. On their own expense, they visited all sections of the state, conferred with all classes of our people, considered from all angles the relation of the experience of other states to the peculiar conditions existing in Georgia. In the presence of the difficulties involved, in the presence of the confusing arguments, some sincere and some specious, against any new system and against all new systems, in the presence of the utter impos-

470

JoT;RNAL oF THE HousE,

sibility of the members making for themselns the exhaustive study necessary to master the problems inYolved in the limited time allotted, may I not urge you to consider the wisdom of adopting the reforms recommended b.r these able and patriotic Georgians'? There can be no possible danger in doing so since they recommend only Constitutional Amendments to be submitted to the people for ratification. If the people feel that the recommendations are not wise they will be rejected. Can there be any harm in submitting to the people for an expression of their opinion tax reforms suggested after mature study by such men as Governor Dorsey, Dr. J. H. T. McPherson, H. R. DeJarnett, R. A. Denny, Seaborn wright, E. Z. Arnold, L. R. Akin, .Judge E. H. Calloway, Dr. E. H. Johnson, H. J. Fullbright, T. S. ~Iason, R. C. Ellis, F. C. ~IcClure, W. D ..\nderson, B. D. Brantley, J. W. Morton, J. S. Peters, John R. Phillips, Sam Tate, Judge U. V. Whipple, E. R. Black, .:Hills B. Lane, W. C. Bradley, W. C. Vereen, Walter Harris, John White Morton, "Wilmer L. l\Ioore, .J. J\I. B. Hoxsey, Harold Hirech, T. K Glenn, T. D. Tinsley, Graham Wright, L.A. Dean, T. M. Cunningham, E. R. Hodgson, Jr., Paul Brown, Lee Council, Victor Allen, Hugh Saxon. The last committee, that headed by ~Ir. Eugene Black, makes recommendations of new taxes 95% of which will be paid by a class largely represented by its own members-large owners of intangible property. Can a Senator or a Legislator representing a constituency 95% of which will pay none of the new taxes justify a refusal to follo\v these recommendations'? Can a Legislator representing a constituency 95% of whom have paid taxes on 100% of their property-tangibles-for all the past, justify a failure to accept the terms under which the owners of intangibles, 95% of which has escaped taxation for all the past, now voluntarily agree to subject these intangibles to taxation'? The State of Georgia is today in the position of a patient seriously in need of medical treatment. Many of the ablest physicians have studied the case and all have agreed on a diagnosis-all have agreed that a certain definite treatment will restore the patient to health and

TUESD.-\.Y, .J-CLY 21, 192.~.

471

strength and the remedy is in hand. Competent doctors in ample number with indicated medicines and efficient nurses are in attendance but all stand by while the patient needlessly suffers because the family hesitates to order the treatment to proceed.

The hour has come for unselfish senice in ( ;eorgia. Close students of taxation have agreed upon a line of treatment combining economy, business methods and new capital investments for education which will not only restore the State to health ;md strength but will meet the hearty approval of the progressive people of the ~tate. Beginning with the installation of business system in the methods of transacting the state's business, it is recommended that the Classification System of taxation to be adopted authorizing a low rate of taxation upon intangibles which are now escaping taxation. ~uch a system installed in the State of ;.\Taryland in one year increased the amount of intangibles on the tax books from !36,000,000 to S286,000,000. ~tocks and bonds on the tax books of Georgia total only S4,000,000. Such a system has pro\ed, a great success in Kentucky where the bankers wrote the clause taxing bank deposits !i51.00 on the thousand, paying the taxes thesmelves, voluntarily bringing into the State Treasury hundreds of thousands of dollars of needed taxes annually \vithout the slightest hardship on anybody..

~Ir. Black's committee, I repeat, made up of representati,es of the class \Yho \Yill pay practically all of the new taxes ,oluntaril~ suggests the wisdom of submitting to the people by this session of the Legislature a constitutional :\mendment enabling any future Legislature to levy an income tax with proper limitations and safeguards, the same to be levied only when the Legislature finds the economies and other methods of taxation inadequate to meet the needs of the government and institutions of the State. I respectfully suggest that on this fair and conservati,e program every school of thought can and should unite.

472

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The present tax laws will not provide sufficient funds to meet the emergency needs of the State. Appropriations for emergencies even will have to be vetoed if funds are not provided to meet them. Out old soldiers will be with us but a very few years at best. We cannot meet their needs with paper script without appropriations and funds to pay. I will not believe for a moment that the Assembly will think of going home without whole-heartedly responding to the demands of the people for great constructive educational and highway programs by submitting to the people Constitutional Amendments providing for the fair and conservative tax system which will produce the necesssary revenue. Those who are to pay the taxes urge us to do so. Those who have been paying the taxes are entitled to have these burdens distributed more fairly. Gentlemen of the Assembly, have faith in Georgia. The day of quaking hesitancy is past. Georgia's economic future is assured. Naught but ignorance can undo it and ignorance can never thrive under .the educational sun now lifting its beams well above the horizon never to recede.

This July 21st, 1925.

The following Communication was received from the Governor, through his Secretary, Mr. Bennet, and was read:
To the General Assembly:
By proper resolution the last General Assembly raised a committee to investigate the matter of the purchase of a home for the Governor directing the committee to report

506

JouR~AL oF THE HousE,

to this session of the General Assembly. I am taking the

liberty of transmitting herewith the report of that commit-

tee.. This report recommends the purchase of the home now

occupied by the Governor under lease, being No. 205 The

Prado, Ansley Park, and known as the McEachern home.

I am also handing you herewith estimates of the expressed

value of the property, all of which is submitted particularly

for your consideration.

Since this property is now leased for the full term of my

administration, I have no special interest in the matter. I

concur in the recommendations of the committee and con-

sider the property a good purchase at the figure named.

The home is well located in a section of high class homes.

The dwelling is constructed of native stone resting upon a

solid granite foundation. The walls are substantially built,

resting upon extraordinarily strong timbers. The building

is adapted for public receptions and otherwise well suited

for the needs of the Governor.

I respectfully suggest that the State purchase the home

for the Governor without further delay. The property

formerly occupied as a mansion. is rapidly growing to be

worth millions of dollars. The present income will pay for

the home recommended in less than five years of rental. It

is impossible to imagine the embarrassment to the wife of a

governor incident to the occupation of a home not owned by

the State. It is difficult to find a home suitable to be rented.

The owners of homes of this class do not have to rent them.

The matter of the furnishing of a home is of infinite em-

barrassment. It would be bad business judgment to buy

furniture for a rented house when it is possible that a home

would be purchased within a year or two and the furniture

so purchased would not be suitable to the new home. I will

not undertake to list the multiplicity of such causes of em-

barrassment which has actually arisen in my first term and

in behalf of future occupants of the Executive Office I earn-

estly urge the purchase of a home at this session of the

Legislature.

ender the order of reconsideration Mr. Doyal of Floyd moved that the House reconsider its action in failing to pass House Bill :\o. 45, known as the "Income Tax Bill."
The motion pren1iled.
The Bill was reconsidered and went to the heel of the ('alendar.
The following communication was received from his excellency, the GO\ernor, through his Secretary, Mr. Bennet and was read:

To the General Assembly:
I am advised that the Committees on Appropriations of the ~enate and the House have already approved Bills which will appropriate from one million to two million dollars more than the Comptroller-General estimates the income of the State. The Committees have yet to act upon hills appropriating some eight millions additional and must also consider the Bill to issue script to pensioners in amount around four million dollars. I know that a number of the appropriations referred to co,er actual emergencies involving the honor of the State. .Many more must be pas.sed if the institutions of the State function to their full capacity for the benefit of all the people. And yet no additional tax burdens upon the mYners of tangible property can be justified. The representative from one agricultural county tells me that there are two thousand tax payers in his county and that one thousand of these had tax fi. fas. issued against them last year.
There can be but one solution to our problems. Some system must be adopted which will force owners of intangible property and citizens of large salaries and other incomes who have not been paying taxes to pay a fair share of the expenses of gcwernment. I respectfully remind you that in my inaugural address I stated that for three years I had cam'assed this State laying before the business men

1020

.JouR:\AL oF THE HousE,

the financial problems of the commonwealth urging them to suggest a better plan than the combination of income tax and classification tax which students of taxation agreed was the fairest and best system. I remind you that I then insisted that there was still time for such suggestions but now 'vhile there is only the barest time to enact necessary legislation, I respectfully report to you that no such suggestions have been made. I believe that you will conclude that no better system can be suggested and that you should now act accordingly. .-\s a matter of fact the committee headed by Mr. Eugene Black which is fairly representative of the business interests referred to, which \Vill pay 95 per cent of these additional taxes, imite you to propose a constitutional amendment authorizing an income tax so that future l-egislatures may levy such a tax if it is found necessary.

I earnestly urge you not to go back home placing additional burdens on the owners of real estate and tangible property. If additional taxes are necessary let them be placed upon that large class of owners of invisible property those with incomes and large salaries who in the past ha,e not borne their share. This is not direct tax legislation. It simply proposes constitutional amendments giYing your constituents, the people of the State, the right to say whether such relief shall be afforded them.

To the House of Representatives: We, the Committee on the Georgia State Sanitarium,

THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1925.

1275

after visiting and inspecting same, beg leave to submit the following report, to-wit:

We find the institution clean and neatly kept, and in perfectly sanitary condition, so far as that is possible under existing conditions, overcrowding of rooms, etc., many of the rooms having as many as three beds on the floor.
We further find the ice plant to be of the old system, and totally inadequate to supply the necessary refrigeration, which is of Yital importance to an institution of this character, necessitating ordering ice from the City of MilledgeYille, and other cities, which often are unable to fill said orders. We further find that said ice plant is in a very dilapidated condition, and earnestly recommend that the plant be either sold or junked, and that the sum of $30,000.00 be appropriated to erect a new. up to date plant in place of same.
vV e further find that none of the buildings are equipped with fire escapes and recommend that this serious defect be immediately corrected, in order that the lives of the 4, 700 inmates may be protected.
We further find that the only water-main, which furnishes all the water supply to said Sanitarium, almost ready to give way. In case said main should in any way burst or become blocked, it would completely cut off all water connection with said institution. Therefore, we recommend that this should be immediately repaired and that two mains, instead of this one, be put in.

REPORT OF THE PENITENTIARY COl\11\iiTTEE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON INSPECTION OF STATE PRISON FARM IN GEORGIA.
Mr. Speaker:
Your Committee on Penitentiary having visited and inspected the State Farm at Milledgeville, Georgia, respectfully submit this. our report and recommendations:
. lst. The Georgia State Prison Farm consists of 3,700 acres, 1,500 acres of which is under cultivation; 1,500 acres used as pasture land, 700 acres not used at the present for any purpose.
It is our information that from April until July of this year, there was no rain at the State Farm, and as a result of this protracted and unusual drought the farm will not produce more than one-third of a normal crop. and for this reason there must necessarily be a greater expenditure of funds for food supply for prisoners and live stock than haR heen expended for any one year recently.
FRUIT TREES.
We find that an effort is being made by the management to make the farm more valuable by planting fruit trees, and to this end in the year 1923 there was planted 1,000 peach t.rees, all of which are doing well, and we recommend that the management continue the plantinp: of peach trees and other fruit bearing trees of different varieties, especially on that portion of the farm that will grow fruit that is not so well adapted to other agricultural purposes.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2Q, 192.5.

1277

LIVE STOCK.
We find 279 Cattle, 416 Hogs, 56 l\Iules, 6 Mule Colts, 4 Horses, 14 Mares, and two Horse Colts. The major portion of our mules and horses are old and are not suitable for heavy work. We recommend that old stock not suitable for the work on the farm be exchanged for other animals for the use of the farm. We also recommend the establishment of hog pastures and that same be enclosed so that the stock may get the benefit of the waste in the bean and corn fields.
SOIL IMPROVEMENT.
We find that the present management of the State Farm is to be commended in its efforts to improve the soil, and that much land has been reclaimed through ditching and by proper care and attention that is given to the badly run down land. The Georgia State Agricultural College and the Georgia Railway Company are co-operating with the State Farm management in a soil improvement project. which is to last for a period of five years, and which in our opinion will be of great benefit to the State in the improvement of this property.

LA:\' D VALDES AT FARl\1.
For many years past there has been quite a bit of discussion by Legislators and the public as to the value of the State Farm. In most instances it has been agreed that there is a great acreage that is not suitable for the production of general farm products and that it is very probable that our property was really a liability instead of an asset. and that the Farm should be disposed of, and a State Farm located in some other locality where soil is more productive. Some members of our present Committee have he'retofore advocated and made strong fights to pass such legislation as would authorize the disposal of this property, and from an agricultural viewpoint we are of the opinion that the portions of the farm which cannot be made to be productive

1278

.JouRNAl, oF. THE HousE,

for general agricultural purposes should be used for the purpose of producing that which the soil is best adapted to, and we recommend that no effort be made at the present, nor in future years, to sell or otherwise dispose of this property until a complete survey is ri1ade on the part of the State as to the value of said property from a standpoint of agricultural purposes, fruitgrowing and mineral wealth.

SANITARY CONDITIONH.
We find the quarters and buildings where the inmates are kept in splendid condition for a penal institution where this class of prisoners are kept.

MANU.FA('TURES.
"\Ve recommend the establishment of a factory for shoemaking and the establishment of a tannery, and thereby make it possible to have all the shoes that are used at the ~tate Farm manufactured by the inmates of this institution, and thereby save to the State of Georgia great expense in the purchase of shoes. A small tannery could be established and tan the hides of cattle slaughtered at the farm and use the leather in the making of shoes and harness without coming in competition with any manufacturing enterprise or of free labor in the State of Georgia if the output of the tannery and shoe factory be used by this institution, and this could be done with very little expense for the Rtate, and the saving to the State would he great.

CANNING PLANT.
We recommend the establishment of a canning plant for the preserving and canning of fruits and vegetahles for the use if the inmates of the institution.

BUILDINC:.
we recommend the construction of a second story at female camp building in rear of colored domitory, as this

THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1925.

1279

domitory is over-crowded and does not permit room for the isolation of women having contagious diseases. This improvement would cost less than a thousand dollars.
There ought to be erected a building for the care of the insane, as there are now hopelessly insane and violent prisoners confined in the domitories with other prisoners, who some times have to defend themselves from the attacks made by the insane prisoners. We further recommend that some effort be made by the Prison Commission to have an inspection made by competent physicians of all the insane prisoners at the State Farm and that they be given medical attention by specialists now in the employ of the State of Georgia.
TRANSFER OF CONVICTS.
Many young men are sent to the State Farm for a period of twelve months on account of being physically unable or on account of disease are sent to the State Farm for treatment, as they are unfit to work on the public roads. However, quite a number of these after having been at the State Farm for two or three months are cured and would prove useful to the ,arious counties of Georgia on the public roads, and we recommend that the law of Georgia be so changed as to allow the Prison Commission to transfer these misdemeanor convicts to road work in the various counties in the state when such convict is physically able to do road work.
ILLITERACY.
We recommend the establishment of school quarters, and that books and equipments for the use of the prisoners be furnished and that all inmates under the age of 18 years old be required to pursue such studies as may be prescribed by the superintendent, and that all illiterate prisoners in said institution be required to pursue some course of stud~ under the direction of the superintendent.

.JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

The following report was submitted, read and adopted

To His Excellency, Honorable Ch.fford Walker, Governor, and the Members of the General A.ssembly of Georgia:
We, members of the 8enate and House of Representatives appointed under authority of House Resolution No. 330 adopted by the General Assembly of Georgia, 1924, for the purpose of investigating charges of mismanagement in the operation of the Confederate Soldier's Home, an institution of the State located near Atlanta, have the honor to submit. the following report:
l. Your committee met in the chamber of the House of Representatives on October 2, 1924, and after organization, certain charges were presented by the Daughters of the Confederacy, who appeared by their counsel, Mr. Frank Hooper, Jr. These charges were defended by the Superintendent of the Home, Mr. W. E. McAllister, who appeared by counsel, Messrs. E. W. Martin and H. A. Etheridge. Twenty two witnesses for the Daughters of the Confederacy and thirty four for the defense were examined, the examination of witnesses continuing throughout a period of three days. Personal visits of inspection to the Home and property were made by individual members of the committee who investigated its management as well as interviewed certain inmates of the Home. After adjournment on Cctober 4, 1924, your committee convened again at the call of its chairman on June 18, 1925 to make its report.
2. Your committee finds that the Trustees of the Home have succeeded in obtaining from the Prison Commission of Georgia a number of convicts from the State Prison Farm to be used as laborers and orderlies at the Home. We recommend that these convicts be retained for service at the Home because we believe their service to be as good or superior to any other labor that could be hired by the management, and because of the saving in expense, but we recommend and urge that none of these convicts be used as

THURSDAY, AuGusT 20, 192.5.

1281

orderlies in the hospital or for the sick inmates in the dormitories, except to .do menial labor and then under the direct personal supervision and orders of the Superintendent, Physician or Nurses. We believe that under no circumstances should they be allowed to act aR nurRe~ to the inmateR of the Home.

:t We find that owing to the age of the inmates all are more or less invalid from the infirmities incident to advanced age, and the Hospital at the Home is always occupied by a considerable number. Charges were made that veterans of the Home were left in their illness without proper nursing and care and that in some isolated cases they suffered from want of attention. "\Ye find that the present nursing staff of the Home is inadequate and we recommend that a graduate nurse be kept in attendence at the Hospital at all times, night and day, and that 110 ,eteran eYer be left alone in the last hours of his illness.

4. We recommend that visits be made by the physician of the Home to the Hospital at least twice a day, and that the physician be on call at all times in caRes of emergency.

;). We find that the system of accounting as kept by the present administration is wholly inadequate and incomplete and therefore unsatisfactory. So few vouchers for expenditures are available that the State Auditing Department cannot even make an intelligent report of the financial condition of the Home. Each inmate of the Home is supposed to have a small monthly allowance of cash for incidentaJ expenses, such as car fare, tobacco, etc. Credit is taken each month by the Superintendent for a large amount for this purpose, yet no vouchers are available and the only proof your State .\uditor has of this expenditure is the verbal statement of the Superintendent of the veterans. We recommend that this fund, and all other funds of the Home, be kept separate and distinct and be dishursed upon proper nmcher.

1282

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

We learn that the Superintendent and Trustees have in the past caused to be cut and sawed a large quantity of timber from the property of the Home. We deplore this action and urge that the Trustees of the Home do e,erything in their power to conserve this valuable property of the State, and that in the future no wood or timber be cut from these lands save perhaps for the uses of the Home.
7. We learn that in some instances veterans of eighty years of age have been expelled from the Home for infraction of rules laid down by the Superintendent and Trustees. "\Ve deplore this practice. These veterans are all more than three score and ten years of age and as a matter of course many have reached that period in life known a5 ''second childhood" and their deportment cannot be expected to measure up to the standard of men of the middle age. We recognize the necessity for discipline and contend that the management should at all times maintain discipline in keeping with the age, circumstances and condition of each indiddual inmate.
8. There has been complaint of a scarcity of fresh milk in the diet of the Home. We believe this condition should not exist because of the fact that this property is of sufficient size to supply pasturage for a large dairy and since the Superintendent is furnished ample labor for all purposes by the Prison Commission he could with ease maintain large enough dairy for all purposes of the Home. We further believe that the property is of sufficient size to furnish all vegetable..'! and truck needed by the institution during season.
9. Evidence was offered us tending to show that t.he Huperintendent of this Home once operated on the property of the State a small store for his own personal gain, and that in the operation of the same convicts of the State were sometimes used as clerks or laborers. Other evidence tended to show that these convicts were sometimes used by the Superintendent to perform personal services :md to do

THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1925.

1283

errands and chores at the 8uperintendent's private residence and on his own private property. Further evidence tended to show that an automobile, the property of the Home, a gift to the Veterans by a philanthropic son of a Confederate Veteran, was on occasion used by the family of the Superintendent for their own private use.
All these practices we condemn. We understand that the store has been discontinued already, but we urge that the Superintendent of this Home be not permitted to engage in any other business than the management of this institution. y..re urge that the convicts be used only for the work of the Home and that all property of the Home be used for and by the institution for it~ own exclusive purposes.

10. We believe the present Board of Trustees have been diligent in their desire and effort to operate the Home that it might be a pride of the people of the State and a haven of rest for the Veterans.

ll. We find the buildings and grounds of the institution in good repair and in a neat and orderly condition. We commend the Superintendent for this, and we commend the United Daughters of the Confederacy for their aid and assistance in ministering to the wants and comforts of these wards of the State. We extend the thanks of the people of the State to the estimable and distinguished Board of Trustees and especially to the Chairman thereof, for kindness, thoughtfulness and diligence in serving the State so unselfishly. We realize the problem of caring for these veterans is greater now than it was a few years ago and it grows harder each year. we desire, however, to bring their attention to these facts:
The inmates of this institution are men to whom the ~tate owes a debt of gratitude and love. They are in the Home mainly because they have no other home to live in. They have all lived more than three score years and ten. AH are more or less afflicted with the weaknesses and ail-

1284

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

ments of advanced age. Their every want should be ascertained and provided if possible. 'When they are ill under no circumstances should they be left without a nurse at call; never should they be left in the exclusive care of one of the convicts. A physician should make regular visits to see them and be always on call. The whims and eccentricities of these old heroes should be respected rather than condemned; these veterans should be indulged and coaxed into discipline rather than expelled from the Home, for it is very probable that they have no other home to go to and this Home was provided for them by the Rtate because of that fact.
12. In conclusion we wish to thank the Daughters of the Confederacy for their work in bringing to our knowledge the condition of the Home, and their efforts to better the home life of the Veterans and their interest in these old heroes. we thank the Board of Trustees for their a:;;sistance in this investigation, and the Superintendent for his frank and open discussion of the problems of the Home. 'Ye have approached our task in an impartial spirit looking only to the best interests of the people of Georgia ann their wards, the Veterans in Gray. 'Ve believe our work has already resulted in improvement of conditions at the Home and we trust that proper changes in the laws governing the Home be made so that our recommendations contained herein may be carried out.

The following Resolution was read and adopted:
Gordon Bennett Callaway was born October 12, 1887 in Lexington Georgia, the son of C. M. and Mary P. Callaway. He was educated in the schools of Oglethorpe County and afterwards graduated from the university of Georgia with an A.B. degree in 1909. He moved to Eatonton after his graduation and became Editor and owner of the Eatonton Messenger. On August 24, 1918 he was married to Miss Marjorie Kimbrough in Eatonton and to this union were born two children, Marjorie, age 5 years and Juliette, age 2. In addition to his newspaper work he entered the practice of law and soon won a place of esteem among the members of the bar of his circuit. He served the City of Eatonton as Mayor for two terms, and afterwards served as City Attorney.
Elected to the House of Representatives in the year 1923, he served through the sessions of 1923 and 1924 and was chosen by his people for a second term, when his untimely death, which occurred on June 6th, 1925, took him from our midst.
As a legislator his service was of the highest order. His brilliant mind was quick to detect flaws in proposed legislation and his unique manner of speech brought to his hearers in a forceful and clear manner the things he desired to say. Always fearless in the stand he took, his course was guided by what he conceived to be the right, and from this he could not be swerved. His forcefulness in debate made him one of the most feared men on the floor of the house, while the courteous treatment he accorded his opponents won for him many friends from among their ranks.
He was a leader without guile, unselfish, always placing the interests of the State above everything else.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1925.

1401

As a private citizen he was a man of high moral character, a leader in the Baptist Church, lovable in disposition and a man of whom any community might well be proud. He held an enviable place in the hearts of his fellow townsmen.
Resolved, therefore, by the House of Representatives that in the death of Gordon Bennett Callaway the house has lost a most valuable man and the State an able and conscientious servant, and that we extend to the widow and children our deepest sympathy.
Resolved further that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of this house and the fa:nily b3 furnish:d a copy.
