INAUGURAL ADDRESS

OF

LAMARTINE GRIFFIN HARDMAN

June 29, 1929

nm MR. PREsm:eNT, MR. SP:eAK:eR, M:eMB:eRs oF

G:eN:eRAx.

Ass:eMBI.v, LAmes AND G :eNTL:eM:eN :

In compliance with the Constitution of the State of Georgia, and relying upon the protection and guidance of God, we have assembled this Inaugural occasion to re-dedicate ourselves in service to the welfare, protection and development of the people of this State.

This inaugural occasion brings to a close the administration of affairs of this State-the biennial, or service rendered by the Legislature and the Governor for the last two years. The deeds performed and the service rendered the citizens of the State are now a record of history.

Before we enter upon our duties as Legislators for 1929 and the coming administration, I desire to express my appreciation of the confidence reposed in me by re-electing me to a second term as Chief Executive of this Commonwealth, representing approximately 3,203,000 people-a confidence and honor that would be highly appreciated by any citizen of any State.

While everything that we so much desired has not been accomplished, we have had problems brought to our minds, and been confronted with conditions in a way that have enlisted the interest of every citizen of this State; and to some degree, I believe that every citizen has been studying the problems that are presented to this General Assembly for their solution.

If for no other reason than bringing to our minds the great problems that confront Georgia, and directing our thoughts

68

JouRNAL or THE HousE,

to the study of the same, the last Legislature and the Governor of the present biennial of administration just ending, have meant a great deal to this State. The solution to some of the problems that confront you today has been suggested by former Governors of the State.
The opportunity and responsibility are now upon the new administration to solve-the problems that you are studying today and will be called upon in the next sixty days to solve in a way that will give to this State a better, a simpler and a more complete business-like method for administering our affairs. This, it appeals to me can be done, and the duty and honor are yours-and the service rendered should be for the good of the people.
It is apparent in our own State, and indeed in most, if not all of the states of this Union, that there is a need and a demand for a more modern business-like arrangement of operating the State's affairs, that will simplify our plan of operation, and thereby suggest to us equality and justice in the support of our State Government and our State institutions.
In our study of the history of Georgia, we are forced to the acknowledgment that ours is a State which is bound to march triumphantly forward. She has ever been a State of Pioneers, a State which might waver but which has never halted in its progressive course. We are descendants of the founders of this great Nation. In no other state is there such a mingling of America's noblest heritages; and in every crisis of her history, Georgia has looked forward-in the earliest days of our struggling Nationin the period of conflict between the i{orth and the South, and in those trying days of the era called the period of Reconstruction.
During the last decades of the Nineteenth Century, Georgia became a leader of the New South; she established her industrial leadership so well that today she stands in the front rank of the Southern States; and in declaring for a Business Administration of the State's affairs, a business-like government founded on the bed-rock of honesty and righteousness, she has made another stride forward.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929.

Two years ago, when accepting the Governorship of Georgia, the task of aiding every effort made in the direction of increased efficiency was also accepted. Basing my belief upon my knowledge of the spirit of co-operation existing in the State at present, and because my confidence in the citizens of Georgia is unwavering, I look forward to still greater governmental efficiency-still more curtailment of wastes, for we cannot but recognize the need and the importance of modern business methods in the financing of the State's affairs.
During the present administration I desire to mention some of the things that haYe been accomplished along this line. In the First Message to the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, it was suggested and recommended that they provide plans by which the General Assembly would have opportunity to study our State Government and State Administration-or that the Governor of the State be provided with means to secure experts for the study of our State Government and State Administration, and to report back to the General Assembly; but this was denied at the last session.
Now, before the meeting of the present General Assembly. the Governor of this State has appointed Commissions to study and to accumulate information to be presented to you, which will be an aid to you in taking such action in regard to the study of the problem of education, highways, State Government, tax, health and crime as will simplify, economize and make efficient every department and institution of the State-that will gin the greatest service to the greatest number of people.

EDUCATION
One of the most important elements of our Commonwealth is that of education. Education must be accompanied with the highest ideals to the fundamental principles of government, virtue, integrity and efficiency. The State that neglects its people on this basis, leaves them undeveloped, unsafe, non-productive and non-progressive.

70

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

The subject of education in this State has not the proper financial support that it deserves. The appropriation of money for this or any other department, or institution of the State, without providing for revenue, is unsatisfactory and brings discord, discontent and criticism. It is useless to appropriate money without providing the funds to meet the appropriation. Appropriations should be kept within the bounds of the revenue of the State. We should appropriate a definite sum for a definite purpose, and to be paid at a stated time; and the money should be provided to meet the appropriations. It does not relieve the needs to appropriate $12,158,679.08, the appropriation for 1928, with the revenue of the General Fund $9,623,492.93-leaving a deficit of $2,535,186.15. There is always an activity in the interest of appropriations, but not so much looking to providing revenue. This is an unbusiness-like procedure and cannot bring progress. With this in mind, a Commission consisting of citizens, representatives and officials was appointed to study every phase of the educational problem, this Commission to report to you their findings.
This General Assembly which is now convened, in my judgment-taking the history of the affairs of this State-will provide sufficient revenue to adequately support all the institutions and the State departments.

TAXES
The subject of tax is seldom a pleasant one; but a Government cannot be supported without revenue. Justice demands that every species of value shall contribute its share to progress. Each species of value receives its contributions and income from the conditions created, largely, by the principles of a Democratic Government, as we have, and should contribute its pro rata share, according to its income, to the affairs of State; and to this end a Commission was appointed consisting, as in the Educational Commission, of citizens, representatives and officials, that every phase of the tax question might be studied and data furnished to you as far as it is possible to do so.

SATURDAY, JuNE 29, 1929.

COMMISSIONS

There were five (5) Commissions, and two Special Commissions appointed-The Tax Commission; The Education Commission; The Health Commission; The Highway Commission; The State Government Commission; and the Special Commissionsone for tte study of Crime, and our laws as relate to crime; and, the other to study the conditions and needs of a tubercular sanatorium for the criminals at Milledgeville.

I desire also to call attention to the study of the matter of clemency, parole or pardon of the tubercular criminal. The present Administration has seen fit, in cases of application for pardon, parole or commutation of the tubercular criminal, that they shall present a statement from the community where the tubercular criminal is to go, signed first by a local physician, and that the community and local physician obligate themselves to segregate the tubercular criminal from his family and community, and to administer proper treatment and food to this criminal. By so doing, the tubercular criminal does not infect his children or family and community, and himself has a better opportunity to recover from this disease.

In one instance there were five children in a family, all small children, whose father was a tubercular criminal, violating the prohibition law. The wife and five children appeared before the Governor asking for pardon. It was suggested to her that the Governor of this State would be doing a great injustice to her and to the children to pardon the husband and father, without proper segregation and care. From such infected criminals this disease would be spread to the community and cause additional burden to the State in the children's hospital for tuberculosis, at Alto, Ga., as well as the infection that might occur to the adult. In five cases of pardon of this type the facts show that splendid results have been accomplished, in that the criminal himself has been benefited and the community protected. The requirements for clemency in these cases is a matter entirely in the hands of the Governor of the State.

72

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

HIGHWAYS
The highway problem has been studied by the Highway Commission, and the personnel of this Department has been agreeably and satisfactorily adjusted during the present administration; and it is now a matter of legislation to improve and make better laws for us in regard to the building of highways in our State.

HEALTH
There is no problem that is more vital to a State than the subject of health. The efficiency, the happiness and prosperity of a people depends upon their earning capacity, which demands good health-which. of course, means greater man-power.
The health problems in our Health Department-which is of comparatively recent date in its establishment-have been splendidly handled. This Department has made wonderful contributions to the welfare and health of our State, and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars to her citizens, as well as saved human life and prevented much suffering.
A recent report from Washington, through the National Chamber of Commerce, estimates "the money losses in this country from sickness through lost wages, salaries and reduced productive effort, plus the cost of necessary care, aggregate $2,250,000,000.00 a year." "The total capital value of lives now lost from causes which are known to be preventable, it said, is estimated to be over $6,000,000,000.00 annually."
The present Administration has made another contribution to this Department, in that it has invested $14,971.58 out of the funds appropriated your Public Building and Health Department, to furnish and equip a modern health Laboratory. This is a most helpful contribution of the present Administration.
The General Assembly in providing for the testing of tubercular cattle in this State made a step forward in the prevention of tuberculosis. The Masons of the State have made a most magnificent contribution in furnishing funds to build at Alto,

SATURDAY, JuNE 29, 1929.

73

Ga., a hospital for the treatment of tubercular children. We cannot at present estimate the value of this contribution in preventing hurr.an suffering, and lessening the burden to our State.
The last General Assembly appropriated $500,000.00 for erecting new buildings at the State Sanitarium-to furnish additional room for the unfortunates at Milledgeville-and $80,000.00 for sewerage equipment. One building has been completedanother is under headway.
No thoughtful citizen will question the need and the opportunity of serving the unfortunates at this institution, having in the institution 5,230 inmates.
During the present Administration a topographical survey of this property owned by the State of 3,628 acres has been made, and a program suggested as to the future building and expansion of this institution. There will be the need for a further building program for these unfortunates.
Gracewood, the home of the defective children, furnished by the State, has been improved.
We are training in Georgia some of her citizens on the Public Health question. The study of the Public Health problems is a tremendous need for the prevention of tuberculosis, of cancer, of malaria and other diseases. The study of Oral Hygiene, directed by the State Board of Health, under the supervision of Mrs. Kennedy, has been completed in about eleven (11) counties; and this work has been highly commended by the educators of the State.
Fortunate and happy should our people be when we remember that diphtheria-the greatly dreaded disease of childhood; the unconquerable disease of typhoid fever, and rabies, are no longer the dread of the human race, but have been conquered; and this State in its Health Department has contributed largely to these scientific problems.
During 1929 the State College of Agriculture, under the direction of its Executive Committee, of which your Governor

74

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

is Chairman, and through the leadership of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, the President of the College, and his activity and judgment, the State of Georgia will soon have completed one of the most substantial and permanent athletics buildings in the Southern section of the country, costing about $75,000.00-which has not received a dollar of appropriation. There has also been established in this institution two departments in the education of Hygiene and Sanitation, and the Care of the Child.

DEPARTMENTS
We have eighty-three (83) Departments, Institutions, etc., in this State. By properly applying modern business methods, in accordance with other big business enterprises, there can be saved to this State over $800,000.00 annually, as has been estimated by those who have made investigations. Indeed other states, such as Virginia, saved over a Million Dollars in one year.
There could perhaps be no more important contribution . made than to the modernizing of our State Government and State
Departments. Words that seem to me to carry with them the meaning and real service are, first, simplicity of organization; 2nd, efficiency in organization, and 3rd, economy in organization. There can be no doubt from the standpoint of a business administration as to what this can accomplish. It is oftentimes the case that statements by officials do not tally in detail-in reports of departments, etc., which is not due to dishonesty, but to the lack of business methods in handling and studying these subjects.

GOVERNMENT
Why not simplify, so that every citizen can understand his State Government? Why not organize, so that every citizen will know that the expenditures in Government are what they should be? Why not demand from every official efficiency in their respective departments? This would bring good-will and the indorsement of the people of this State.

SATL"RDAY, JuNE 29, 1929.

75

OTHER THINGS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
Some of the things that have been suggested and carried out by the present Administration are the following: The keeping and classification of all clemency matters in a report book provided in the Executive Secretary's office, so that any citizen can understand and have an opportunity to inspect these reports; the present Administration has asked every institution that is fostered and supported by appropriations of this State to have prepared a landscape, painting and program in picture form, and placed in the Capitol of this State. Visitors, both in the State and Nation as a whole, could thereby have an opportunity to see and to know Georgia's institutions and property; and the Legislature would have an opportunity to study the building programs that are being carried out concerning her own institutions of the State. Your Capitol grounds and buildings have been improved-and within your appropriation; your Mansion grounds have been improved; a monument to the great War Governor and financier, a man of judgment- with his beloved wife, has been placed on your Capitol grounds, with funds provided by his son, Julius Brown; and as these statutes, monuments, etc., are placed on your grounds, and as these pictures are placed upon the walls of your Capitol, the student bodies of our educational institutions will have the opportunity in a day to gather largely the history of this Commonwealth.
Your Experiment Station, at Griffin, has erected this year the first building of any importance, almost, in its history. This Experiment Station was built primarily for research for the farmers of our State, and for the first time in its history it has been properly equipped for furnishing desired information to the farmer.
There is no industry in which there is a greater need for help of a substantial and sound basis, than that of agriculture, the real life and basis to the progress of our State, furnishing us the necessitities of life and the raw material for every industry.
The buildings and the water supply of your school at Dahlonega have been improved during the present Administration;

7()

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

and the patronage of that institution has increased under the present Heads of administration of the institution.
There are other institutions in this State that have made progress along building lines-The Georgia School of Technology has completed a new Dining Hall, and for the first time in the history of the school is able to provide sufficient room for the students-and by using the old Dining Hall space, room for about 200 more students has been provided. This building has been constructed at a cost of $130,000.00, from contributions from the Athletic Association of $20,000.00, about this much more from the alumni and friends, $50,000.00 from the Maintenance Fund, with a balance due of $40,000.00; the Georgia State College of Agriculture has erected three new buildings- The Health and Physical Education Building, at a cost of $100,000.00, of which $75,000.00 was furnished to the State-The Nurses S hool and Home Management Building, the latter two costing about $30,000.00-The three approximating $130,000.00. The Spellman-Rockefeller Foundation contributed $50,000.00 for the maintenance of the Health and Physical Education Building. There has also been accomplished at this Institution a great deal of work in the way of landscape gardening: Also the Junior College, at Douglas; The Woman's College, at Milledgeville, which has completed a Dormitory costing $111,000.00, $51,936.79 being furnished from what is known as The Emergency Fund of the College-representing room rent fees and reservations accumulated over a period long before the death of Dr. Parks, with interest on the money-$39,000.00 from the Maintenance Fund, and the rest borrowed from the Bank. This, of course, is a contribution to the State, and in addition furnishes accommodations for 340 more students-and so on. These have not cost the State any-or a very small amount of money at least-but have been managed by the officials and those connected with the institution, and have given to the State of Georgia property worth several hundred thousand dollars-without a dollar's investment!
During the present Administration there has been secured a steel box for the keeping of Bonds of the Officials of the State,.

which is placed in the vault of the State Treasury; and through

the Secretary of State's office there has been provided a manu-

facturing plant, which will be completed and ready for operation

this year, where the State manufactures her own tags. It is esti-

mated that within three years the State will save enough to en-

tirely pay for the equipment, as well as give employment to those

at the State Farm and pay them $1.00 a day, which, of course,

will go toward the upkeep of the Farm.

The shortage in the Secretary of State's office, occurring under a previous Administration, of $8,389.99, has been collected and placed in the State Treasury.

In the Adjutant General's office there has been prepared a Roster, or record, of the World's \Var Veterans, which is accessible to every Ordinary in the State. This has been accomplished during the last eighteen months.

It has fallen the duty and responsibility the Governor of this State to make appointment of several heads of important Departments of our State Government. The present Governor has had to appoint a successor to the late S. G. McLendon, Secretary of State, who passed away last year, naming Hon. George H. Carswell as his successor in office.

The duty and responsibility also of naming a successor to Mr. Fort Land, one of our leaders in education-who rendered \'aluable service and made an enviable reputation in the Department of Education, has fallen upon the present Governor. Dr. M. L. Duggan was named as his successor.

It became the duty of the present Governor to name the successor to Mr. 0. R. Bennett, of the Public Service Commission, in the person of Hon. Perry T. Knight.

These appointments were approved and ratified by the vote ,Jf the people, naming each one as his own successor in offi~e in his respective position.

CRIME

Another important matter to engage your attention is that >f the lives, liberty and property of the citizens of our State, which

78

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

is fundamental in your Federal Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Georgia--and that is the respect for the majesty and the enforcement of your laws.
There can be no Government without respect for authority and there must be provided a code of Government for any order in a State, or organization; and respect and obedience must be given to these regulations.
It is universally stated that disrespect for law is constantly brought to the public mind through the Press. Without respect for authority there is a tendency to disintegration and the final disruption of Government.
It has been the desire of the Chief Executive of this State, as far as he could possibly do so, to adhere and to maintain the majesty and the enforcement of the law, and to uphold the Judiciary of the State. There is no question in the mind of the present Executive of the fact that there needs to be created in some way a higher respect for life, liberty, property and obedience to law. No one has a right to violate a law because he does not believe in it. They should be enforced or repealed, and not violated.
The program for the coming Administration would not be in order on this inaugural occasion, but it will be given in the first message to the General Assembly.
There are many problems which have confronted the Administration the last two years-and that will probably confront it in the next two years; but it is the feeling-the conscientious conviction of the present Governor, and the one who is to serve you for two years, that every representative who is here assembled has a spirit of co-operation and is determined, so far as it can be done, to eliminate personalities and politics and to give to the State the greatest, most helpful contributions in the present General Assembly that have been given to her for years. The citizens of the State whom you represent will rejoice in these contributions for their protection, care and support, and will commend you in all future times; and I pledge to you my co-operation, so far as JllY ability lies, in the real service of every interest in this Commonwealth.

SATURD~H, JuNE 29, 1929.

79

Again I express to you and to the citizens of this State my greatest appreciation of the confidence expressed by you in my re-election, and assure you that my motive and soul and heart and efforts shall be for the welfare and upbuilding of this citizen ship.

TuESDAY, JuLY 2, 1929.

203

MR. PRESIDENT, MR. SPEAKER,
MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
We have been permitted as Governor, and many of you as members of the General Assembly, to serve the people of the State of Georgia in the legislative and executive capacity for the last two years, and you are again organized for the purpose of legislation in the interest of the affai_rs of the State.
While each of you have studied the problems that it is your duty and responsibility to solve in the interest of the entire people, the Governor in this State, under your laws, is authorized and directed to present to you the financial condition of affairs of the State, and to recommend to you such measures as in his judgment will be wise and beneficial in developing, protecting and directing the interests of this Commonwealth.
The law provides that the Legislative Department, the Judicial Department and the Executive Department shall be forever kept separate and distinct; and yet, there is a relationship between these respective departments intended for the good of the whole, which demands co-operation between each to attain to the highest and best interests of the State; and to this end the Chief Executive is sure that every member of this General Assembly is ready to serve this State and its best interests to the very highest degree.
Some of the problems that confronted the previous Legislature are not row problems for you to solve; but other problems, more manifest than ever before, claim your deepest study and best judgment in order that you may solve them for the entire interest of every element and resource of our State.
In presenting to you the financial conditi~n of the State. and suggesting and recommending to you certain legislation, I do so with the consciousness that each one of you have studied these problems and have convictions and judgments of your own; and in making the recommendations I desire to be in harmony with you, in order that we may secure for the State the very

204

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

best legislation, and at the same time, I know that you will grant me the right to present to you measures and methods that my conscience and judgment dictate to me should be enacted into laws at the present session of the General Assembly.
I wish to assure you that whatever recommendations I shall present to you for enactment into law have been arrived at after study, free from prejudice, or personalities, and for the purpose of serving the whole citizenship of the State; and with these preliminary statements I make the following recommendations for your study during the present session of the General Assembly.

PLAN OF OPERATION
First, I recommend that the machinery for the operation of the General Assembly, such as the appointment of the various committees, be named as early as practicable, and that we begin work, providing two sessions each day, and the meeting of the committees as promptly as conditions will permit.
It appeals to me that it is better business, and will give us wiser legislation to do our work in the beginning of the session, rather than to have a crowded condition of legislation toward the end, which would probably disturb our judgments and bring to us legislation that would perhaps be unfinished and unwise. If any time is to be taken off, or recessed, may it not come toward the close of the session when you have finished your work? May we not finish our work and not carry it over to be finished during the last night of the session, or on the morning of the Sabbath, which is recognized by our laws and by our people as illegal legislation?
FINANCES
The most important problem of the present session is the matter of finances-and I suggest that we take first things first, and that we solve the problems in the order of their importance and urgency.
Finance means "a science of government budgets of revenues and expenditures." Budget means "an estimate by a govern-

TuESDAY, JuLY 2, 1929.

205

ment of its probable income and expenditures for the ensuing year or years, with proposals for maintaining a proper balance between the totals."

INVESTIGATING AND BUDGET COMMISSION
The law requires the Governor to present to the General Assembly the report of the Investigating and Budget Commission.
The Investigating and Budget Commission, as provided by law, has presented you with the estimated revenue for 1930 and 1931, which is $10,356,145.43, and the fixed appropriation, as provided by law, $3,124,842.42, leaving a balance of $7,231,302.96 for distribution. The revenue is based on income of previous years under our present tax system. It has also given you a budget of expenditures in keeping with your revenue. It provides for the taking care of the fixed sums by law that you shall appropriate for those departments. It then prorates on your previous appropriation of 1927 the remainder of the sum of revenue it is estimated you will receive under the present tax system, thereby presenting to you a balance of your income and your expenditure.
EXAMINING COMMISSION
The Examining Commission is directed under our law to make their report directly to the General Assembly.
The Examining Commission is required under your law to visit institutions and departments of State and to bring to you the financial condition of the State's revenue, its amount, its sources and the amount appropriated by the previous Legislature-the amount unpaid; and to recommend to you such appropriations as in their judgment will meet the needs of the departments and institutions. It examines into the appropriations of the previous Legislature, and the necessity for same; and shall report its opinion as to whether or not the same shall be discontinued, decreased or increased in amount.
Your law also provides that they shall draw an appropriation and other bills representing the needs and changes of the depart-

206

JoURNAL OF THE HousE,

ments and institutions, and present same to you for your consideration.
The duties and service of these Commissions are somewhat overlapping, both in membership and duties, and yet each one serves a distinct purpose-and each has presented their report for your information and study.
The Governor recommends that our laws be so changed as to provide for only one Commission, and that such authority and power be given to this Commission as in your judgment will serve the entire interest of this State.

URGENT NEEDS
The most urgent need under the head of Finance is providing for the deficit that has been created by the Legislature of 1927, due to the excess of appropriations over and above the mcome received, or the lack of providing sufficient revenue or income to take care of the appropriations made.
The amount of appropriations made in excess of the revenue received for 1928, as presented by the State Auditor, is $1,504,074.69. The estimated deficit, as presented by the Auditor of the State, for the year 1929 is $2,272,402.44, which makes a total of estimated deficit created by the excessive appropriation beyond your income of a total of $3,777,444.13 for the years 1928 and 1929; and the Chief Executive recommends that you first provide revenue for taking care of this deficit for these years, 1928 and 1929, and that this revenue, if possible, be immediately available for the retiring of the deficit created by the former Legislature-that the common schools and higher education, and all other institutions may receive prompt relief and care for their maintenance and building programs.
If the appropriations as made by the General Assembly of 1927, and recommended by the Examining Commission, are to be continued, it is absolutely necessary that you provide new sources and additional revenue to maintain the departments and institutions of the State for the years 1930 and 1931.

TGESDAY, JuLY 2, 1929.

207

TAXES
The Executive of this State appointed a Tax Commission to study our tax system, and to present to you their findings for your information and study; and in order that the support of the State Government and State institutions may be properly distributed upon the values of this State, the Governor recommends the establishment of a Tax Commission, consisting of three (3) outstanding business men of this State, to handle our taxes and the providing for revenue to properly and adequately care for the entire interests fostered by the State.
It is the opinion of the Chief Executive of this State that every value of all classes should bear a reasonable burden or support of the State, and that such measures should be enacted as will provide for the State such distribution of the support.

BORROWING OF MONEY BY STATE INSTITUTIONS
There has been borrowed by State institutions-due in part to the lack of provision for revenue in 1927 to take care of the appropriation, the sum of $791,405.82-$552,725.29 for Maintenance, and $238,680.53 for Building. Some of the institutions have borrowed more money than was appropriated in 1927. They have assumed to themselves the authority and wisdom of determining the needs of the institution, which authority exists in the legislative body of this State; and there has developed a serious problem as to what extent these institutions are authorized to create a debt, and under what authorityand who is responsible for the debt created.
Under our Constitution no debt can be created against the State; and according to the opinion of the Attorney General furnished the Governor of this State, no body of trustees can create a debt against the State's property which is held by them in the name of the State. It appears, with these facts, that a loan secured by the trustees is either a loan on faith, or if they sign a note, or notes, they will be personally responsible. This is a matter of law to be determined.

208

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The total amount of money earned by these institutions and unpaid on June 1st, under appropriations made in 1927, amounts to $682,162.39. The rate of interest paid by these institutions is 6% in two instances, 7% in another, and the remainder, 8%.
If the State pays the debts created by these institutions, under resolutions by the Board of Trustees, it creates a high rate of interest which the State would pay in case these loans are taken care of by appropriations of the General Assembly.
The Governor of this State suggested to the last General Assembly that measures looking to the taking care of conditions should be handled, and that no such debt should be created; and the Chief Executive of this State recommends to you the study of this situation, and that you provide for such legislation as will care for the embarrassing situation of these institutions.

STATE VALUES
The State's wealth, as estimated by the Census of 1923, is $3,896,750,000.00, and its tax value, as given by the Tax Commission, is $2,276,904,734.00. On the basis of the tax values, with the addition of Special Taxes, the State of Georgia for 1928 received a revenue or a total income of $23,855,007.59-$14,231,541.66 was Special Allocated Funds, and $9,623,494.93 was your revenue from taxes that went into the General Fund, which is subject to check for appropriations made by the General Assembly.
Another source of revenue is the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which is valued, including its holdings with the terminus in Chattanooga and Atlanta, at $28,000,000.00. From this source of income the Western and Atlantic Rental Assignment Warrants aggregating $4,320,000.00 were issued May 1, 1926. Warrants were made payable at the rate of $45,000.00 per month beginning with January 1, 1928, and the last warrant will mature December 1, 1935, which covers a period of eight years to refund this obligation. The proceeds from the sale of these warrants was $3,169,395.00, and this entire sum was used to meet Pension appropriations. So you will observe that removes, beginning January 1, 1928, from your available revenue for appropriation

TuESDAY, JuLY 2, 1929.

209

the sum of $45,000.00 per month, which must be provided from and by other sources.
The old Mansion property was leased from June I, 1928, for 50 years. The annual rental derived from this source through May 31, 1932, is $20,000.00. This rental, under the terms of the Lease contract increases gradually, as provided under contract, each ten years.
The new Governor's Mansion was purchased in December, 1925, for $74,000.00, plus 4;4% interest per annum on deferred installments, which will make the total cost of this property $82,053.25, including the interest. The monthly payments, which are in the form of purchase warrants, amount to $1,434.11, except the last one which is $308.98 and which will mature June 10, 1930. The income from the old Mansion property, or a sufficient amount of said income, is set aside by law and appropriated to retire the obligations incurred for the new Mansion, and the amount in excess of this goes into the common Treasury.
You will have completed the payment of your new Mansion on June 10, 1930, and you will have a revenue going into the State Treasury from the lease of the old Mansion of $1,434.11 each month thereafter, to be placed in the State Treasury, which should be taken into consideration during the present Legislature.
It is plain to be seen that the revenue from the Western & Atlantic Railroad rental, which aggregated $4,320,000.00 has been consumed. It is also apparent that the funds derived from the Lease of the old Mansion has been directed in its use to pay for the new Mansion. So the State of Georgia has no income from these two sources and no other property that furnishes income to the State at the present that has not already been obligated; and cannot furnish any revenue for the State appropriations until after the expiration of contracts already made.

DEBT
The Bonded Indebtedness of the State of Georgia is $4,781,202.00. This is the only debt the State has in the form of a Bond



210

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Issue. It has obligations created by borrowing money in 1928 and 1929, under your law, for the purpose of paying school teachers to the amount of $3,430,500.00; and for supplementing the cigar and cigarette tax for paying Confederate Veterans, $200,000.00from, or under, the authority providing for a delay in collecting taxes.

The sum of borrowed money and total indebtedness is $8,411,702.00, all of which will be retired in February, 1930, except the Bonded indebtedness of $4,781,202.00, which leaves your State with the smallest indebtedness of any State in the Union, so far as I know.

INCOME
The Governor of this State recommends that the revenue or income from all sources should be placed in your State Treasury, and that all funds shall be appropriated by the General Assembly and to be paid out of the State Treasury to whatever purpose in their judgment is wise; and that no sources of revenue should be allocated to a special purpose, except that from the motor vehicle tag tax and gasoline tax, which shovld go to highways of the State-thereby making it possible not to create an additional debt against the State for building highways. Sufficient revenue should be prO\~ided for taking care of the common schools, the consolidated schools and higher education from other sources of revenue which you are called upon to provide at this session. There should also be provided sufficient sums for the buildings and maintenance of the State Sanitarium, at Milledgeville, and other State institutions which we are obligated to maintain and support.
All Federal revenue from whatever source derived is covered into the United States Treasury and is paid out only after it is appropriated by Congress. All appropriations made are required to be used for the specific purpose appropriated. Any unexpended balance of the appropriations to be returned to the treasurer.

THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION'S REPORT
The report of the Highway Commission is furnished you for your information, and in accordance with their recommendation there will be provided bills for your consideration for the purpose of taking care of the contracts made, and also for taking care of future contracts, until sufficient funds are provided to make further progress in the highways.
The recommendations and bills will be submitted to you for your study.
According to a report of the State Auditor, the deficit of the State Highway Department on contracts of estimates unpaid on June 1, 1929, was $1,730,000.00. It is also estimated that on January 1st, 1930, if no other contract is let and nothing is added to the present contracts, with the present revenue, there will be a deficit of $1,000,000.00.
The interest paid on deferred payments in 1928 was $17,593.17; the interest due and unpaid on deferred payments on contracts for the first five months of 1929 was $33,753.00. It is estimated that at the end of 1929 the interest under present plans, at 6%, will be $50,000.00, making a total of $67,593.17 for the years 1928 and 1929; and, it is necessary that the State make some provision for meeting the obligations created by the Highway Commission.
THE HEALTH COMMISSION
The Health Commission appointed by the Governor of this State has also a report, which is submitted to the General Assembly. Other measures, or bills, will be presented to you by this Commission for your study and consideration.

THE EDUCATION COMMISSION
The Education Commission, wh\ch was also appointed for the study of the educational situation, has completed. their work, and same is submitted to you for your information and study. These are laws that should have your consideration, since your

212

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

law provides that one-half of all of the revenue from all sources of income or taxation shall be used and expended for the use and maintenance of the common schools of Georgia, and a direct appropriation of $5,300,000.00; also, one cent tax on kerosene and one-half cent tax on gasoline, as well as funds from the Game and Fish Department.
These different sources of revenue rather complicate than simplify the appropriations, because oftentimes there is no revenue derived from sources named, as provided by law; and it appears to the Governor of this State that a definite sum for the common schools, the Barrett-Rogers Fund and the higher education should be stated and paid from the State Treasury of Georgia.

STATE ORGANIZATION
One of the most important matters that should claim your study is that of State organization; and the Governor has appointed a Commission, which is making a definite report and offering amendments to your law to carry out plans suggested that will give us a modern plan of administering the affairs of this State, which will save to the State, as has been estimated, over $800,000.00 a year and make more efficient every department.
This modern plan of handling the State's affairs and finances has been adopted by twenty-odd states in the Union. Other states are now making a study of their administrative affairs of state, that they may put in similar administrations. Virginia, Tennessee and Illinois have accomplished especially constructive work along this line.

CRIME COMMISSION
The Crime Commission has also made their report, and a bill has been introduced in keeping with the recommendations of the Crim~ Commission, which should have your study and consideration.

TuESDAY, JuLY 2, 1929.

There is no subject that will contribute to the welfare, the protection and the morals of this State as a proper appreciation for authority and law.
One of the great needs of our State is the establishment of a State Bureau of Identification. The importance and far-reaching value of the establishment of this Bureau you cannot comprehend, without a study of many of the problems handled by the Clemency Board, the Governor of the State and the attorneys who represent the criminal before the Clemency Board. It is the decided opinion of the Governor of your State that nothing would contribute perhaps more to the prevention of crime than through the certainty of identification by fingerprint reading and other elements that will be presented to you in a bill ~t the present session.
It is the opinion of the Chief Executive of this State that the certainty of identification and punishment are two of the strongest elements to deter or prevent crime, which it seems would be done upon the establishment of this Bureau. I do not know of any subject that offers a greater field for study than does this one.

SPECIAL COMMISSION OF
TUBERCULAR SANATORIUM AT MILLEDGEVILLE
A Special Commission was appointed by the Governor of this State to study the advisability of a tubercular sanatorium at Milledgeville-to study the betterment of conditions there for the care of the tubercular criminal of the State; and I commend this to you for your study and consideration.

VOTING
Under the Constitution of the United States and the states of this Union the privilege to vote and the responsibility of voting is given to every citizen; and perhaps the lack of interest in the elections, and the expression at the ballot box of the wishes of the people of the State is one of our greatest neglects. In order, therefore, that our elections may be better attended and a greater

214

JOURNAL oF THE HousE,

interest manifested, I recommend that the Primary election be changed from September to August, so as to give a better opportunity for all our citizens to perform this responsible duty.

CHARGE FOR EXTRADITION
Most states charge a fee of $5.00 for granting extradition warrants for the delivery of fugitives from justice; and I recommend a like fee from Georgia, to be placed in the State Treasury.
STATE'S PROPERTY
I recommend for your study and consideration the advisability of having the titles of all property of the State recorded in the Secretary of State's office, and that the titles of the property be filed and kept by the Secretary of State in his office.
Today our titles are held bv local Boards or Trustees, and if it should become necessary to make an investigation, an attorney would be compelled to visit almost every section of Georgia.

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

APPROPRIATION FOR STATE CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT
I submit to you a report, or survey, made by expert architects upon the cost and advisability of improving your Capitol. This Capitol has been occupied for forty (40) years on the 15th day of June, 1929, and deterioration, both internal and external, is apparent to every one who takes the occasion to inspect the building-inside and out.
Under the estimates made by architects, this building lacks twenty-eight thousand square feet of having sufficient room to provide for operating the various departments of state on an economic basis; and the Governor of this State recommends strongly the appropriation of sufficient money to complete the first story of this building, and to put in first-class condition the inside and out of your State Capitol; and I recommend that a bill be submitted to your for your consideration, and that you will give it your careful study.
You are paying for rent for the Military Department and Equipment, and the State Board of Health an annual rent amounting to $8,240.00; and with the completion of your present Capitol this would be practically cared for.

CHANGE IN TIME OF MEETING OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
I recommend to you the advisability of the consideration of having the General Assembly to meet in January, and that your inauguration of the Governor also be in January; that your Legislature take twenty (20) days for the introducing of bills, then recess for study, and re-convene at a time that may be suggested by them; also that your Governor be elected for four years, and not eligible to succeed himself.
I recommend also an amendment to the laws of Georgia that provides a runover-that the second election shall be held within ten (10) days after the first primary.

TuESDAY, JuLY 2, 1929.

217

STATE DEPOSITORIES

Your law at present provides that only $50,000.00 shall be received by any one State Depository.
At the present time this seems impossible and impracticable, and such amendment to your law is recommended that will provide, when properly protected, for the State to keep in the depository a sum equal to the bonds held by the State, thereby guaranteeing the safety of these funds deposited in the State Depositories.

INTEREST PAID ON BORROWED MONEY
The State of Georgia in 1927 appropriated $100,000.00 for 1928 and $100,000.00 for 1929 for paying interest on borrowed money.
For money borrowed in 1928, on a 5% basis, it was $185,400.00; and the amount for 1929, if no other money is borrowed, will be $143,200.00, making a total of $328,600.00, on a basis of 5% interest.
The amount of money borrowed by the institutions, including buildings, as presented to the Governor of this State, is $791,405.82. The average rate of interest paid on this money is 7 1/3%, which would make a total per annum for interest of $58,036.43 which the State would pay if it meets the obligations created by institutions.
This $58,036.43 added to the deficit of $128,600.00 makes a total interest of $186,036.43 by December 31, 1929, providing the sum borrowed by the teachers should be calculated for a whole year.
The interest paid by the Highway Department in 1928 was $17,593.17, and, as estimated for 1929, will be $50,000.00 on December 31, 1929, $33,753.00 having already accrued. This makes a grand total of interest paid by the State of Georgia, as presented in the above statement, of $454,866.03.

218

JOURNAL oF THE HousE,

The Governor of this State recommends that you provide revenue for taking care of the various needs named, so as to save the State the grand total amount of interest named.
On account of financial conditions existing in New York and other sections of the country, the rate of interest, as you are familiar, ran up on call as high as 15%, or even 20%. So if the State is placed in a financial condition where it is compelled to borrow money, or permit conditions to exist in its institutions which are undesirable, a higher rate of interest can be and will be demanded of the State.

Most Respectfully,

L. G. HARDMAN,

July 2, 1929.

Governor.

THI~ HousE oF REPRESENTA'TIVES,
HoN. RICHARD B. RussELL, ]R., Speaker.
Pursuant to House Resolution No. 48 requesting information as to disposition of poll tax collected in 1928, the State Treasurer and the State Auditor submit the following statement:
1-Poll Tax receipts, amounting to $325,521.93 in 1928 were paid into the General Fund of the Treasury, as has been done for many years.
2-The General Fund is used for paying the appropriations of the Legislature, as distinguished from Special Funds which are segregated for paying allocations made by statutes.
3-Poll Tax revenue is thus not segregated nor earmarked in any way, except that since January 1, 1929 all general, professional and poll taxes of 1928 levy have been set aside for application to payment of 1928 Common School loans and have been so applied.

MoNDAY, JuLY 15, 1929.

345

4--The State Department of Education has made no formal demand or requisition at any time for warrant on the Treasury on the Poll Tax fund.

5-The question, therefore, has not arisen as to whether or not the General Assembly in the passage of the Appropriation Acts of 1927 intended that the amount appropriated for Common Schools should be exclusive of revenues allocated to Common Schools under the Constitution of 1877.

6-This question now having been raised by House Resolution No. 48, the State Treasurer and the State Auditor suggest that the General Assembly declare by resolution its will in the matter, covering revenues allocated to Common Schools. If the General Assembly decides that these Poll Taxes amounting to $325,521.93 are due the Common Schools, in addition to the Regular Appropriation, the deficit in the State Treasury is automatically increased
$325,521.93.

W. J. SPEER, State Treasurer,

The above statement is hereby certified to before me July 15, 1929.

S. J. SLATE, State Auditor,

J. R. LowE, N. P. State at Large.

COMPTROLLER-GENERAL'S OFFICE STATE OF GEORGIA
Atlanta, July 15th, 1929.
To THE GENERAL AssEMBLY oF GEORGIA, HaN. RICHARD B. RusSELL, JR., Speaker.
As directed by Resolution No. 48 adopted July 12th, I take pleasure in submitting the following information:
The Legislature which convened in 1927 appropriated to the Common Schools of Georgia

346

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

for the year 1928 ............ $5,003,200.00 for the year 1929. . . . . . . . . . . . 5,003,200.00
to be paid from the collections made from
Poll tax,
Show tax,
One-half of rentals from Hotel Patton, Chattanooga, Tenn.,
Dividends from stock owned by the State of Georgia,
General tax.
The Constitution provides that these appropriations be paid out of the revenue collected from the above sources for the year for which the' appropriations are made. That is, the appropriation made for the year 1928 must be paid from the revenue due for the year 1928, and the appropriation made for the year 1929 must be paid from the revenue due for the year 1929.
As none of the revenue from poll and general tax due for the year 1928 was paid until October 1928, the Governor borrowed $3,500,000.00 the first of the year 1928 and advanced the money to the common schools on this appropriation for the year 1928, pledging the poll tax and other taxes allocated to the common schools for the payment of this loan.
So far we have collected $288,000.00 during the years 1928 and 1929 of poll tax on the 1928 digest. These poll taxes for the year 1928 are still being collected and are being paid to the banks to apply on the loan advanced to the schools.
WM. A. WRIGHT, Comptroller-General.
S. J. SLATE,
State-Auditor.
L. G. HARDMAN, Governor.
Given under my hand and seal this the 15th day of July 1929.

WEDNESDAY, jULY 1/, 1929.

413

You will also notice a chart in the first of this report, as recommended by the Commission. This Commission has done a great deal of work and investigation to bring to you an intelligent report concerning the operation and coordination of State Government, Boards, and Institutions, as provided by other states and now in operation, which has been very effective.
I call especial attention to the fact that with the plan now presented by your Commission, that $800,000.00, or possibly $1,000,000.00 can be saved annually in the operation of governmental state boards and institutions, as recommended by your Commission.
This plan provides for the interest and simplification of all the departments, boards and institutions, also efficiency and economy; and I recommend that the presentation, as provided by this Commission, have your very best consideration and, if possible, that you enact into law, or pass the Bill presented to you by this Commission.
Some of the very best lawyers have gone over this matter and have presented it to you in a legal form, which provides for the amendment of the laws now in operation, but which will not require any Constitutional Amendment.

STATE CAPITOL
Your Capitol has been occupied for forty years on the 15th of June past, and the deterioration is plain to be seen by everyone who will inspect it; and very little- attention, comparatively speaking, has been given to the upkeep of the building.
The Governor has secured two expert architects to inspect and provide plans and statements for your information, which has cost the State nothing; and they state that the present Capitol building, if constructed new today, would cost from $2,500,000.00 to $2,650,000.00 and with the deterioration going on, it would be of little value in ten years more.
Today they estimate that this building, completing the first story and putting it into first-class condition, would cost from

414

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

$200,000.00 to $250,000.00, which would then give to the State a building that would easily be worth Two and One-half Million Dollars, and would also provide for the necessary departments under the new plan of coordination, as recommended by the Governor's Commission on State Government.
It must be apparent to you that we are paying the interest of $200,000.00 a year in rents for the departments outside of the Capitol. With the saving in the new plan of cooperation, onefourth of which would give sufficient funds to properly improve and equip the present Capitol, there would be left at least a Half Million Dollars to go to other uses of our departmentsto education, buildings, or other purposes; and I recommend that you provide revenue and secure such legislation as will put our Capitol in good condition.

GIFT OF THE RHODES PROPERTY
The heirs of the A. G. Rhodes estate, Mr. Joseph D. Rhodes and Mrs. Louana Rhodes Bricker, have made a wonderful gift to the State of Georgia, in what is known as the Rhodes residence, at Peachtree and 17th Streets, through the State Historical Commission, and has been accepted subject to your approval. This building, which has been named the Rhodes Memorial Hall, has already beautiful memorial windows portraying the history of the War Between the States; and it is donated for the purpose of the keeping of records of Archives and History of this State, which will relieve some of the congested space in the Capitol at present.
With the use of this building and the improvements suggested to be made on the Capitol, we would have sufficient room, under the new plan of coordination, to take care of our needs for several years.
After the investigation of the building, and the titles to the property, if the same is satisfactory, I recommend the acceptance of this building for the uses as above named.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1929.

THE OPPORTUNE TIME

It appeals to the Chief Executive of this State that it is especially fitting at this time that you enact into law a bill, or such modification, as you find wise, that is presented to you by the Governor's Commission on State Government; and at the same time complete and improve the Capitol, that it will be suitable for the departments suggested to you by this Commission.
It seems also that the magnificent gift that has come to the State from the Rhodes heirs would also give us space that could properly be used for the State Library; that the library and the Department of Archives and History could be removed to the Rhodes building during the improvements at the Capitol.
What a contribution it would be for Georgia to provide the new organization-to complete and renovate our Capitol, and to come into possession of this Magnificent stone Rhodes building for our Department of Archives and History.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Second: It is necessary and very important in order that the Highway Department may function, and pay for the contracts already let, that you provide revenue that will be immediately available.
It is also necessary that you provide revenue immediately available for the paying of the deficit of the Highway Department of $1,730,000.00
It is further necessary that revenue be provided that we may secure from the Federal Government the Two Million Dollars that will be available when the necessary funds from the State are provided.
In view of the needs above mentioned I recommend that you create a tax on gasoline of Six Cents per gallon for the remainder of 1929, to become effective at once; and all above the amount on gasoline for the year 1929 that has not already been provided

416

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

for, go to the highways, which will give an increase of Two Cents for immediate use on highways.
I recommend further that in 1930 and 1931 the gasoline tax be made Five Cents, and that one-cent go to the Counties, as heretofore provided; also that as soon as you make provision for the revenue, that all of the remainder of the gasoline tax, the motor vehicle tag tax, the bus tax and truck tax, as may be provided by you, shall all go to the building and maintaining of the highways of the State of Georgia.
I suggest further that it would not be wise to have a retroactive law which would provide for a change in the distribution of the revenue from gasoline, from which one-half cent goes to the Common Schools, and one cent on kerosene, which has already been allocated for the year 1929.

BUS AND TRUCK TRANSPORTATION

The Chief Executive of the State recommends that such legislation be enacted as will provide for the necessary protection of human life in handling of transportation of busses and trucks; and that same be handled by the Public Service Commission in a way that you may deem wise and safe.

COMMON SCHOOLS

Third: I recommend to you that all of the monies, from whatsoever source, shall be placed in the State Treasury.
I recommend that you provide revenue and appropriate Five Million Dollars for the Common Schools, Two Million Dollars for the Equalization Fund, and Four Hundred Thousand Dollars for the Barrett-Rogers Fund; and that you provide sufficient revenue to take care of these appropriations which shall be made, to be paid at a definite time. (See Acts 1927, page 157.)
I call your attention to the fact that the present sources of revenue which are provided by law, which go to the Common Schools, are complicated and unsatisfactory.

WEDNESDAY, jULY 17, 1929.

417

Your law provides that one-half of all the revenue from all sources of income, or taxation, shall be used for the maintenance of the Common Schools of Georgia.
Your law also provides for direct appropriation of One Million Dollars for the Equalization Fund, to be paid out of the one-cent on kerosene and one-half cent on gasoline (See Acts 1927, page 106), and all over and above One Million Dollars from this source shall also go to the Common Schools. (Appro. Bill 1927, page 17.) This constitutes a part of the Common School Fund.
Your law also provides under Acts of 1925, page 307, that after paying all expenses of the Game and Fish Board, salaries of Commissioner, wardens and deputies and propagation of Game and Fish, "all such monies not used for this purpose shall be paid over to the State Treasurer for the benefit of the Common Schools of Georgia as now provided by law."
Your Constitutional Amendment of 1926 authorized the Governor to borrow $3,500,000.00 for the purpose of paying school teachers only. The enabling act of 1927 provides as follows: "And the principal amount so borrowed shall be repaid each year out of the common school appropriation of that year; and the amount appropriated for paying interest is to be paid from the General Treasury, which is appropriated for each year."
You provided for $100,000.00 for 1928 and $100,000.00 for 1929 to pay the interest on the borrowed money.
There is no relief to the taxpayer to have to pay borrowed money, and interest. It is far better business to provide revenue to pay appropriations for the educational interests, than it is to provide for the Governor to borrow money which the State must pay back with interest.
May I call your attention to the fact that almost one-third of our session is passed, and the responsibility of taking care of deficits and providing revenue for the next two years has not been provided. However, the Governor of this State confi-

418

Wilson, and read:

THIRD MESSAGE

TO
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. July 23, 1929.

MR. PRESIDENT, MR. SPEAKER, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL AssEMBLY:
I desire to call to your attention the condition that exists in reference to the pensions of the Confederate Veterans, which are to be paid quarterly at the rate of $200,000 per annum each.
The first quarterly payment was paid on April 10, 1929. There had accumulated $150,689.26, which had been collected from the cigar and cigarette tax for the payment of pensions. This sum of money could not be used for any other purpose.
There was due the pensioners of this State for the first quarterly payment $347,081.00. It is clear to be seen that if the total sum of money, $347,081.00, which was due the pensioners could be paid it was necessary to borrow $200,000.00.
The amount available to check in the State Treasury on April 10, 1929, was $70,068.99, which makes it apparent that the money was not available to check for the purpose of paying the pensioners at this date.
Then, if the above amount of $347,081.00 could be paid, the State must borrow money. The Governor in order to ascertain the authority invested in him to borrow this sum of money, addressed a letter to the Attorney General asking his opinion as to whether or not the Governor had the right, under our law, to borrow this sum of money. This letter of the Governor addressed to the Attorney General was as follows:

524

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

"April 2, 1929."
"HoN. GEORGE M. NAPIER,
Attorney-General,
Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Sir:-
If there is a delay in gathering taxes and a shortage in the cigar and cigarette taxes which provide revenue for paying the Confederate Veterans, would the Governor be authorized under the $500,000.00 borrowing act to borrow enough money to finish paying the pensions?
Would the Governor be permitted to pay the interest on this loan from the sum borrowed or from the General Fund of the State Treasury?
Thanking you for an early reply, I am
Yours very truly,
L. G. HARDMAN,
Governor.''

The Attorney General's reply was as follows:

"April 3rd, 1929."
"HoN. L. G. HARDMAN,
Governor,
State Capitol.
Dear Governor:
This is an immediate reply to yours of the 2nd inst. just received, wherein you state:
"If there is a delay in gathering taxes and a shortage in the cigar and cigarette taxes which provides revenue for paying the Confederate Veterans, would the Governor be authorized under the $500,000.00 borrowing act to borrow enough money to finish paying the pensions?
"Would the Governor be permitted to pay the interest on this loan from the sum borrowed or from the General Fund of the State Treasurer?''

TuESDAY, JuLY 23, 1929.

525

Under the constitutional provision that you are authorized to borrow $500,000.00, because of a casual deficiency in the revenue, it would seem that you are authorized to borrow up to that sum for the purpose of completing the payment of the pensions, the same to be repaid to the lender out of the taxes gathered during the year.
As to paying the interest, the Supreme Court has held that unearned interest is not a part of the debt. So it would seem that it would be better to make a note for the interest, payable at the end of the borrowing period or let the sum of money so borrowed bear interest from date.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. M. NAPIER,
Attorney General."

The sum of $200,000.00 under the authority vested in the Governor, as recommended by the Attorney General, was borrowed for the purpose of completing the payment of the first quarter, and the sum so borrowed to draw interest from date and payable September 10, 1929, which must be paid back to the lender at that date.
No debt shall be contracted by or on behalf of the State, except to supply such temporary deficit as may exist in the treasury in any year from necessary delay in collecting the taxes of that year, (a) to repeal invasion, suppress insurrection, and defend the State in time of war, or to pay the existing public debt but the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall not exceed, in the aggregate, five hundred thousand dollars, and any loan made for this purpose shall be repaid out of the taxes levied for the year in which the loan is made.
There has also accrued another quarterly payment, which should be paid not later than June. The sum due and payable during the second quarter is $335,672.00, which has not been paid.
There has accumulated from the cigar and cigarette tax, all told, up to this time, $155,842.37, leaving a difference between the sum set aside from cigar and cigarette tax of $179,829.23, which it will be necessary to secure to complete the payment of the pensions of the Confederate Soldiers for the second quarter.
It does not appear to the Governor that the $300,000.00, which is a part of the special sum of $500,000.00 of his borrow-

526

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

ing capacity, should be used in again supplementing the cigar and cigarette tax that has accumulated for the payment of pensions-$155,842.37. It would leave the State unsafe, with but a small sum for the protection of the various interests as provided by law, and therefore, this should not be encroached upon.
It is also apparent that if this sum of $179,829.63 was borrowed, we would have a very small amount in the State Treasury, since today there is only $190,000.00 subject to check. Therefore, the Governor strongly recommends that you make provision for the payment of Confederate Veterans.
It is also apparent to the Governor that the mere fact of allocating funds does not furnish sufficient funds to pay the appropriations as provided by the Legislature to the Confederate Veterans; and that a definite sum should be provided and secured to be paid at definite times.

STATE SANITARIUM
There is due the State Sanitarium for maintenance of the unfortunates at Milledgeville $100,000.00, which could be paid out of the General Treasury, leaving $90,000.00 subject to check, which should be done.
There is also due the State Sanitarium for buildings, appropriated in 1927, the amount of $250,000.00, one building has been completed, costing the State, besides the equipment, $201,000.00, which cares for 420 patients. It will be necessary to provide revenue to care for $250,000.00 for buildings, which was appropriated in 1927 without providing revenue for the same.
The number of inmates in this institution is 5,230. When the present building is completed, which is now under headway, we could care for only 4,400 patients, on the allowing of 50 sq. ft. per bed. In the dormitory, figuring on 100 sq. ft. for dormitory space, our capacity would be around 3,300 patients. The architect's basis is 80 sq. ft. per patient for room space. No definite amount of space has ever been agreed upon. However, 1,000 feet of cubic air is required for every individual.
It is recommended by the Superintendent, Dr. Swint, that it will be necessary in addition to the present buildings to have another building, costing something like $500,000.00, to provide for SEVEN or EIGHT HUNDRED patients. We are overcrowded now, and there is yet a waiting list of more than 700 patients, 350 white females, 300 white males and around 200 colored males.

TuESDAY, JuLY 23, 1929.

527

These buildings that are now being constructed are fire proof.
I recommend to you the providing for of revenue to take care of the important needs of this institution, including patients and buildings.
There is no need that is more imperative than that of providing for revenue and room space for these unfortunates, and I recommend that you make provision at as early date as possible to provide for these unfortunates, and to provide a new building.
The matter of changing to a new location for the negro unfortunates is being considered. I suggest to you that if the negroes, who are now a part of the 5,230 patients-there being 1,800 of these negroes, could be moved to the State Farm, which buildings would be perhaps sufficient, and the other buildings renovated, we could care for the present needs of the State Sanitarium at Milledgeville. In that event it would be necessary that you secure another site for the criminals, which would require buildings as well as farm lands.
I am informed that the State Farm at Milledgeville is not self-sustaining, and that they are in arrears in the operation of this department, there being appropriated $80,000.00 each year.
The State Prison Farm has 3, 700 acres of land, with 77 buildings, which is valued at $155,675.00. If this indicates the value of the land and the buildings, the land must be of a very inferior quality of soil, and the buildings of a very low value.
I commend this to you for your study and thought.

SCHOOL FOR MENTAL DEFECTIVES
The school for mental defectives at Gracewood, Georgia, contains 325 acres of land and 17 buildings, which is estimated in the report furnished by the Secretary of the State Board of Health at $113,687.00.
These buildings are not especially suited for the work that is done at this school, and the quality of construction is not of the highest type.
The 325 acres of land it appeals to the Governor are of very low type of soil. It is so poor that it doesn't even grow desirable shade trees, which should be on the grounds and in the parks for these children.

528

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

It seems to the Governor of this State that it is desirable that we have a better type of soil for truck farming for these children; and that we should also have soil that would be attractive in the way of growing vegetables that might interest some of the children of the higher type; also flower gardening and other things that some of the children at this institution would be especially interested in, and that would aid in the treatment and development of the mental defectives.
It appeals to the Governor of this State, since our lands are so valuable and so very cheap at this time, that we should consider the advisability of securing a better type of soil, which would make the home for these defectives more attractive and desirable, and that could be secured at this stage of values at a very reasonable price. The value placed on this farm and buildings is $113,687.00. It is the judgement of the Governor that this is too high a value for this property, and he recommends that the Committee from the Legislature which has in charge the inspection of the grounds and public buildings be directed to make an investigation, in order that we may arrive at a more definite knowledge as to the value of this place; and also to investigate other places that would be more desirable for these unfortunates.
Most Respectfully,
L. G. HARDMAN, GovERNOR.

Mr. Traylor of Richmond moved that the House do now adjourn; the motion prevailed, and House. Bill No 17 went over as unfinished business.

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

A RESOLUTION.
Declaring October 12, 1929, a legal holiday as a special courtesy to Yale University, the day to be known as "Abraham Baldwin Day" in honor of the Founder of the first of American State Universities.
Whereas, In this so-called materia:istic age, this age of machinery, there are those who are still moved by a deep sense of appreciation and sentiment, and find occasion to pay tribute to those who have made the state great by contributing to its commercial, educational, and spiritual development; and
Whereas, the immigrants from Europe, the migration of citizens from other states of our own country, have made their notable contributions to the welfare and progress of Georgia, perhaps no single institution has done so much to advance Georgia to the forefront in things of permanent value as Yale University. The graduates of Yale University early fell in love with Georgia, and many came from year to year, not to find land upon which to settle, but to found schools, colleges, churches, and to become leaders in the secular professions and pursuits-to be governors, lawyers, teachers, statesmen; and
Whereas, Among the early graduates of Yale to settle in Georgia was that brilliant, staunch, Puritan, Lyman Hall, who from the day of his arrival was prominent in the public life of the state. His intensely patriotic services to Georgia during the Revolutionary period are well known. He was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence, and was elected Governor of Georgia. He was a loyal and typical Yale man greatly interested in religion and education; and
Whereas, As governor he urged the legislature to make provisions for the endowment of seminaries of learning in the state, and in his first message to the legislature, July 8, 1783, said:

SATURDAY, AucusT 10, 1929.

977

"Every encouragement ought to be given to introduce religion and learned clergy to perform divine worship in honor of God and to cultivate religion and virtue among our citizens. For this purpose it will be your wisdom to lay an early foundation for endowing seminaries of learning; nor can you, I conceive, lay better than by a grant of land that may, as in other governments, hereafter, by lease or otherwise, raise a sufficient revenue to support such valuable institutions;" and
Whereas, The next legislature acted by granting in the law laying out Washington and Franklin counties, 40,000 acres of land, to endow a college or seminary of learning. A board of trustees of seven men, was named and among these was ex-Governor Nathan Brownson, another eminent graduate of Yale University, and still another remarkable graduate of Yale University, Abraham Baldwin, whose life and service to Georgia have been rescued from oblivion by the late Doctor H. C. White, for more than fifty years professor of chemistry in the State University; and
Whereas, Abraham Baldwin came to Georgia from Yale University at the invitation of General Nathaniel Greene and Governor Lyman Hall; settled in Wilkes County and later represented that county in the legislature. Afterwards he was elected to Congress and to the Senate. He was an active and an important contributor to the building of Georgia, one of the group of wise men who laid securely the foundations upon which was builded the present Great Republic; and
Whereas, That illustrious Georgian, Richard Malcolm Johnstone, said of him: "He was the greatest man that ever lived in Georgia. In some respects he was superior to Jefferson. Justice has never been done to his great merits." He wrote the charter of the University of Georgia, a document that contains sentiments as lofty and as sublime and as inspiring as any found in the Declaration of

978

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

Independence; as for example, "It should be among the first objects of those looking towards the national prosperity to support and encourage the principles of morality and religion, and thus early to place youth under the forming hand of society, that by instruction they may be moulded to love of virtue and good order;" and
Whereas, Abraham Baldwin has the great honor of being the founder of the First of American State Universities and the first President of a State University; and
Whereas, Still another brilliant son of Yale came to Georgia to be the first active President of the University of Georgia, Josiah Meigs. He was given authority to select his own faculty and of course selected Yale graduates; and
Whereas, Time will not permit to recite the contributions made by Yale graduates in other lines of activity nor their full contributions to the educational system of Georgia; and
Whereas, Yale University has done the University of Georgia the distinguished honor of accepting its invitation to send their football team to engage in a game which will dedicate the new stadium on October 12. It is such an unusual event for the Yale team to play at any field outside of New Haven, except Harvard or Princeton, that the University of Georgia has felt peculiarly complimented by their acceptance of its invitation, and are extremely anxious to make the occasion memorable in every way. Yale was prompted to accept the invitation because of its intimate kinship with Georgia; and
Whereas, Dr. George H. Nettleton, chairman of the athletic board of control, Yale University, states: "With the founding and development of thi3 university, Yale has most intimate connections. In recognition of such close academic kinship and of the special interest of Yale graduates in the South, exceptional consideration was paid to exceptional circumstances. The determining factor is not accidental rivalry for intersectional athletic supremacy

SATURDAY, AuausT 10, 1929.

979

but settled community of academic interests and friendly regard;" and
Whereas, In recognition of the great services rendered the State of Georgia by its many illustrious graduates of Yale University: Lyman Hall, Nathan Brownson, Abraham Baldwin, Josiah Meigs, and others, and in appreciation of the coming of Yale University to dedicate the new stadium of one of her children-the State University;
Therefore Be It Resolved, by the General Assembly of Georgia, that Saturday, October 12, be and the same is hereby designated a legal holiday for the year 1929, as a courtesy to Yale and in honor of the Founder of the First of American State Universities, to be known as "Abraham Baldwin Day."

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same: That, when used in this Act, the term "person" or the term "company," herein used interchangeably, includes any individual, firm, co-partnership, joint adventure, association, corporatiOn, trust or any other group or combination acting as a unit, and the plural as well as the singular number, unless the intention to give a more limited meaning is disclosed by the context. The term "tax year" or "taxable year" means either the calendar year, or the taxpayers fiscal year when permission is obtained from the tax commission to use the same as the tax period in lieu of the calendar year. The term "sale" or "sales" includes the exchange of properties as well as the sale thereof for money, every closed transaction constituting a sale. The word "taxpayer" means any person liable for any tax hereunder.

FRIDAY, AuausT 16, 1929.

1127

expense whatsoever; and without any deductions on account of losses. The term "business" as used in this Act shall include all activities engaged in or caused to be engaged in with the object of gain, benefit or advantage either direct or indirect, and not excepting sub-activities, producing marketable commodities used or consumed in the main business activities, each of which sub-activities shall be considered business engaged in, taxable in the cla~s in which it falls. The term "gross proceeds of sales" means the value proceeding or accruing from the sale of tangible property without any deduction on account of the cost of property sold, expense of any kind, or losses.

The measure of this tax is the value of the entire product manufactured, compounded or prepared for sale, profit or use in this state, regardless of the place of sale or the fact that deliveries may be made to points outside the state.
If any person liable for any tax under Section 3 shall ship or transport his products or any part thereof out of the State without making sale of such products, the value of the products or articles in the condition or form in which

In determining value, however, as regards sales from one to another of affiliated companies or persons, or under other circumstances where the relation between buyer and seller is such that the gross receipts from the sale are not indicative of the true value of the subject matter of the sale, the tax commission shall prescribe uniform and eq:1itable rules for determining the value upon which such privilege tax shall be levied, corresponding as near as possible to the gross proceeds from the sale of similar products of like quality or character by the other taxpayers where no common interest exists between the buyer and the seller, but otherwise under similar circumstances and conditions.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That upon every person engaging or continuing within this state in the business of selling any tangible property whatsoever, real or personal, there is likewise hereby levied, and shall be collected, a tax equivalent to two mills on the dollar of the gross receipts of the business; provided, however, that in the case of a wholesaler, jobber or broker, the tax shall be equal to one mill on the dollar of the gross receipts of the business.

There shall be excepted from such gross receipts of any person or company all gross receipts taxed under Section 3 of this Act.

cent gasoline tax now allocated to the counties, as to such such state-aid road mileage."
"It is not the purpose of this Act, however, to require the State Highway Board to abandon any of its present construction and paving projects but it shall exercise its best judgment as to when and in what inanner the roads hereby especially designated shall be completed and paved; and for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of this Act all necessary power and authority is hereby vested in the State Highway Board."
"N"othing in this A.ct shall be construed to add any additional maintenance cost for roads to the Highway Department until such roads shall have been located and constructed as contemplated under this Act."

Roads of the United State~.



"Whenever, after the passage of this :\ct, the said State Highway Board shall, pursuant to the power and authority vested in it, by that certain Act of the General Assembly of Georgia approved August 21, 1922, authorizing said Board to 'construct and maintain state-aid roads in and through towns or cities of not more than twenty-five hundred people,' construct any state-aid road or roads in and through towns or cities of not more than twenty-five hundred people, all such state-aid mileage embraced and included within the incorporate limits of such towns or cities is hereby declared to be excluded from the limitation on the amount of highway mileage heretofore fixed at 6,300 miles by the Act approved August 21, 1925, as set forth in the published volumes of Georgia Laws for 1925, at pages 207 and 208, (and is also hereby declared to be excluded from any future limitation on the amount of such highway mileage.)"

The following communication was received from His Excellency, the Governor, and read:

STATE OF GEORGIA
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
ATLANTA
To THE GENERAL AssEMBLY oF THE STATE oF GEORGIA:
The meeting of the Legislature for the year 1929 is nearing a close; and the work accomplished by this General Assembly is to be commended in many ways. Many important and helpful laws have been enacted, which we heartily approve.
We have now only six days of the present session remaining, and much important and needed legislation yet is to be enacted.

MoNDAY, AucusT 19, 1929.

1211

The Governor of the State called attention in the beginning to the financial situation of the State, and suggested plans by which it might be met.
The needs of new methods and new systems in the administration of the affairs of the State must be apparent to every member of the General Assembly. The advancement in our civilization, and the improvement in business methods, demand that the State shall keep pace with other great business organizations.
Some of the things not yet enacted into law that seem to the Governor of the State important, are the geological survey; the educational survey; reorganization of State departments; a better provision for the tubercular criminal at Milledgeville; the identification bureau, which in the opinion of the Governor, would reduce crime in our State; and the enactment of laws for better handling of the situation as relates to crime in the State of Georgia.

TAXATION.
Taxation is an authority and power given to the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, which cannot be exercised by any other department of the State; and it is for them alone to provide revenue for taking care of all the institutions fostered by the State-the common schools, the higher education, the necessary buildings for the care of the unfortunates at Milledgeville and at Gracewood; and the Governor pleads that such revenue be provided.
The Governor, under the Constitution, has no authority or power to provide revenue, and is dependent altogether upon the General Assembly.
The administrative department is called upon and authorized to dispose of and handle the revenue provided by the General Assembly, as directed by the law.
The deficit as presented by the State Auditor, will on the 31st day of December, 1929, be $4,266,000.00. The revenue under our present law, as stated by the State Auditor, which is available for check and not allocated, is $9,500,000.00. The appropriation as made is $12,250,000.00. It is therefore clearly to be seen that additional revenue must be provided, and the Governor commends the activity of the General Assembly in studying and arranging to take care of the deficit, and to provide for her institutions.

1212

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

The Governor of this State feels that we are not putting too much into our institutions; also that we are not making provision for their needs, and I urge upon you the remainder of the six days to make provision for revenue that will put Georgia and her institutions on a substantial and progressive basis.
Respectfully submitted,
L. G. HARDMAN,
Governor.

The following protest was submitted:
The House, having passed House Bill No. 548, authorizing a named Commission to con tract for an extension of the present lease, so far as concerns the depot site in Atlanta, for a period of not more than 30 years beyond the end of the present lease contract, I ask leave to file my respectful protest against the policy involved.
My protest is based on the belief that to thus separate a part of the terminals from the main body of the road is to put the State at a serious disadvantage whenever it becomes necessary or desirable to lease the railroad again.
Respectfully submitted,
ALEXANDER of DeKalb,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION
To the Speaker and Members of the House of Represen-tatives,
1929 Biennial Session, General Assembly of Georgia: Mr. Speaker:
Your Committee on Conservation has made a most unusual tour of the Southeastern Section of Georgia on business of the General Assembly in connection with pending bills before us, and with reference to this inspection of Forest Resources and Forest Industries the Committee was also impressed with the possibilities of proposed new development work which is believed will be of far-reach-

1424

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

ing benefit to our State. We beg leave, therefore, to submit the following report and request that same be incorporated in the Journals of the House:
The fifteen members of our House Committee and the Vice-President of the Senate left Atlanta on Wednesday evening, July 24, 1929, for Waycross, and spent 5 nights and 4 days on this special work. Our private Pullman car and all transportation to Waycross and return was provided by Mr. T. G. Woolford, of Atlanta, President of the Georgia Forestry Association. We were accompanied On the trip by the Division Passenger Agent of the railroad who showed us every courtesy and attention. We were :also accompanied by the State Forester and by several newspaper men, magazine writers and photographers.
On arriving in Waycross early the following morning, we were met by the Mayor with a delegation of City Officials and Committees representing local civic organizations who immediately took our party to the new Hotel Ware, where comfortable quarters were provided for the next two nights to be spent as guests of that progressive city.
While at breakfast the Secretary of the Waycross and Ware County Chamber of Commerce, who is also Secretary of the southeast Georgia Co-operative Association, outlined the itinerary and schedule of entertainment mapped out for us. We were then introduced to our host for the day, Mr. A. K. Sessoms of Cogdell, Georgia, who carried us on his own private railroad to his home thirty miles away in the center of his large timber land holdings. Before noon we were shown the actual work and economy of a large steam-operated turpentine distilling plant, a model which was constructed under Mr. Sessom's own supervision, after his return several years ago from a tour in France. We were shown, in minute detail, the working of this plant from the gathering of the raw gum .to the placing of the purest rasing in steel barrels which

SATVRDA Y, :\VGVST 24, 1929.

1425

were made and labeled for purchase on the ground at Cogdell by large Naval Store Factorage Companies. We were shown how this steam process gave the purest oil and rosin and turpentine which is a great improvement over the old method of distillation.
Following a luncheon in the home of Mr. Sessoms and the inspection of a steel lookout tower 100 feet in height, used in the detection of forest fires, we were shown physical lessons in the work of reforestation that are being carried on so successfully under the assistance and co-operative supervision of the State Forest Service.
During the afternoon many things were pointed 0:1t to our Committee which proved conclusively that modern fire control methods on private lands are both feasible and profitable and it was also clearly demonstrated that it is absolutely possible to conduct turpentine operations in the absence of fire, therefore proving that all former conclusions as to the necessity of controlled burning have been in error. It is entirely possible to keep the woods rough while being turpentined, thereby producing more gum and more rapid tree growth by preserving more plant food for the soil.
vVe were also shown improved methods of chipping which produce more gum and at the same time prolong the life of the tree. There were many other lessons and outstanding demonstrations of increased growth and reproduction where forest fires are prevented, and before returning to Waycross that night our Committee had become thoroughly convinced that private forestry is a profitable investment and that cut-over lands in the region of the longleaf and slash pines will rapidly enhance in value under proper methods of management and protection.
Another outstanding fact is the evident success of forestry under private ownership in Georgia which seems to be solving many problems more rapidly than forestry

1426

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

under any form of public ownership has ever been able to demonstrate in other States of the Union. This Conservation Committee is of the unanimous opinion that no National Forests are needed in South Georgia for the purpose of demonstrating that private forestry is profitable, since private forest owners are already making the best possible demonstrations to that effect under State supervision, but the great need of further research and experimental work for the development of cellulose, woodpulp and naval stores industries in this Southern Region of Georgia has convinced this Committee that some form of limited public ownership of forest land in the area of the Okefenokee Swamp would be desirable for a permanent Forest Experiment Station.
Several leading citizens of Waycross accompanied our Legislative Committee on this inspection trip near Cogdell, and at a dinner conference in the evening a larger group of citizens were informed by the State Forester that the Georgia Plan of Timber Protective Organization now embraces 19 units of co-operative administration and protection under which some 996,790 acres of forest lands in the State are receiving the benefit of Federal Aid refunds on the actual cost of fire protection.
On the following day the Committee was carried by automobiles to Folkston and to the turpentine camp of Mr. John M. Hopkins, local manager for the Hebard Cypress Company, where guides and motor boats were provided by Mr. Hopkins for a trip into the heart of Okefenokee Swamp, or the "Land of Trembling Earth," made famous in song and story.
In five boats we were taken up the Suwanee Canal, which was dug many years ago for the purpose of removing cypress and pine timber from the swamp and islands within the swamp. The trip carried us fifteen miles up the canal, then three miles across the beautiful water "prairies" by boat and a one mile hike through the jungle

SATURDAY, AucusT 24, 1929.

1427

on a board walk that now replaces an old logging tram road, thus giving us close-up views of remaining timber, finally reaching Floyd's Island where we were luncheon guests of Mr. Hopkins at the hunting lodge of his associates. The maps and detailed information given us brought out the fact that more than 400,000,000 feet of saw logs have been removed from the area by the Hebard Cypress Company, and many more millions of board feet still remain untouched on the 500,000 acres owned by this Company and other private owners. We were impressed by the fact that several islands of 4,000 acres or more, and many smaller islands within the swamp, could be developed as experimental and demonstrational areas and that forest research work could be conducted to ex:ellent advantage by Federal or State agencies if the lands should be acquired by the public. With separate reforestation projects on the many islands it is clearly seen that protection from fire would be effected at lowest possible cost, and the development of a system of canals to connect each island would be cheaper than the construction of roads on National Forests in the mountain area of Georgia. Thus the problem of administration could be solved at the same time that the area was being made accessible to the public for recreation and developed as a forest experiment station. The ideal condition for wild life sanctuaries and game preserves were also impressed on the Committee, and we unanimously endorse the plan of permitting the Federal Government to purchase the Okefenokee Swamp and its Islands for these purposes. The remaining slash and longleaf pine, cypress, white bay and other valuable species would give much virgin timber for the purpose of scientific study by foresters, and the fact that this swamp is 120 feet above sea level with rivers flowing from it to the Atlantic Ocean and to the Gulf of Mexico only adds to the many outstanding features of this wonderland where Natural History offers study that should be considered from the standpoint of national assets.

1428

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

The Committee returned to \Yaycross for the night and on the following day proceeded by automobile to Folkston and down the St. Mary's River through Coldrain and Kingston to the town of St. Mary's where plans were explained to us for the big ship canal proje~t which has been discussed for many years. :\!though the General :\ssembly of Georgia has passed resolutions from time to time advocating the Federal Construction of this canal from Cumberland Sound up to St. Mary's River and thru the Okefenokee Swamp to connect with the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Suwannee River, there has never been a State appropriation made to promote this Federal project. :\ limited amount of investigative work has been done in the past by the Florida Canal Commission, but Georgia's part has amounted to very little and the project has continued to be di~cussed in vague and uncertain terms.

This Committee was so impre~sed by the need of such a canal to carry battle ships as well as barges, that we have unanimously endorsed a bill for a small State appropriation for propagandizing this project, and also a bill to create a strong Georgia Canal Commission for the purpose of rai~ing private funds to promote this work as the logical extension of the Panama Canal, a saving of almost 1,000 miles of shipping around the State of Florida and the enormous advantages for commercial development makes this proposed ~anal assume the proportions of the vital connection in all inland waterways programs for the ;\ation.

The Committee was given a boat trip to Fernandina, Florida, where a banquet was given in our honor by the citizens of that progressive city. Many interesting and instructive talks were made to the more than 200 diners on that occasion, chief among them being from Hon. Chas. S. Barrett, Union City, Georgia, past President of the N ationa! Farmers' Union, sounding the keynote that the

SATCRDAY, .\cccsT 24, 1929.

1429

time has come for action on this matter of a ship canal to be constructed by tjle United States Government.

The last day of your Committee's inspection tour gave us a boat trip from St. Mary's to Brunswick by way of the inland route along the Georgia Coast. On arriving at the Sea Island Club we were the guests of Mr. Howard Coffin and the Young Men's Club of Brunswick, and were given a most enjoyable banquet which was followed by many happy talks and the recounting of experiences by members of the Committee on this memorable trip.

Each member of the Committee feels most deeply that the exceptional hospitality shown us by citizens of Waycross, Folkston, St. Mary's and Brunswick only proves that these splendid Georgians will never slacken in their enthusiastic support of the projects under investigation by this first Legislative Committee trip of its kind in .\merica.

The Committee heartily and unanimously endorses the State program of private forestry which is producing results more rapidly in Southeast Georgia than anywhere else in the nation. \\'e also advocate forest research and experimental work by the Federal Government as provided for by our proposed Enabling :\ct which permits the Federal Government to acquire the Okefenokee Swamp, and we pledge our continued support to the program covered by our measure which provides for activity by the Atlantic Ocean to Gulf of Mexico Canal Commission of Georgia.

Mr. Speaker, your Committee on Conservation appreciates the honor that you have conferred upon us, collectively and individually, by your assignment which made possible our participation in the first investigative work of this kind by any State Legislative Committee in America, and we strongly urge the other members of the General
