JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The report of the committee was adopted.
The President of the Senate declared the result of the canvass of the votes for Governor and State House officers.

The hour of 10:30 having arrived, and the House and Senate already being in joint session, his Excellency, Governor Richard B. Russell, Jr., with his escort, appeared upon the floor of the House, was escorted to the Speaker's stand, and delivered the following address:

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the General Assembly:

To fulfill the requirements of law, I come before you, the representatives of all of the people of Georgia, to obey the Constitutional mandate directing the Governor to give the General Assembly, from time to time, information of the state of the Commonwealth and to recommend to their consideration such measures as may be deemed necessary or expedient.
The members of this General Assembly have come into official responsibility at a very critical time in the life of our State. The people of this State and Nation are still contending with one of the greatest depressions of history. Thousands of our people walk the streets of our cities or the highways of our counties, eagerly seeking employment that will provide sufficient money to enable them to eke out even a precarious existence for themselves and their families.
With an abundance of food and clothing, we have such a maldistribution of wealth that thousands of our people are suffering for want of the very necessities of life.
Agriculture is our basic industry in Georgia and never in the history of the State has life on the farm been at

such a low ebb. Values of all property have greatly diminished, but the shrinkage has been most acute in farm lands and farm equipment. Over a long period of time the farmer has been compelled to sell the products of his toil below the cost of production. This has paralyzed our entire economic system and resulted in the virtual bankruptcy of the sturdy citizens who constitute the backbone of our civilization and who are today suffering, not because their labors have produced too little but because they have produced too much.

It does not require an array of statistics to establish the desperate plight of the farmers of this country today, nor how agriculture has been prostrated in recent years. This condition is a matter of common knowledge to every person within the sound of my voice. It is staggering to contemplate, however, that the value of all farm lands in the United States has decreased from sixty-six billion dollars in 1920 to forty-seven billion in 1930, with a marked trend downward since. In the same period of time, the amount of farm mortgages on these lands has increased from $3,320,000,000.00 in 1920 to the huge total of $9,468,000,000.00 in 1930. In this period the farm income shrunk two billion five hundred thirty-four million dollars. The income of the farm population of the United States was fifteen per cent of the total income of the Nation in 1920. It fell to eleven per cent in 1925, but in 1932 it was estimated at only seven per cent of that total.

It is evident to the most obtuse that we cannot have any real prosperity in this Nation until the buying power of the farmer is restored and he is enabled to earn an income commensurate with his importance in our scheme of life and in more due proportion to his toil. Agriculture is not only our basic resource but it is the real foundation of our economic structure. The catastrophe which has overtaken

182

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

our economic structure has shaken the very foundations and in rebuilding we must commence with and from the ground, realizing that if the buying power of the farmer is restored all other lines of industry and business will be revitalized.

It is doubtless true that conditions in Georgia generally are much better than in some of our sister states, but, at best, this is but poor consolation. We cannot content ourselves merely with poi!'ting out how matters might be worse but must unselfishly devote our time and talents to mobilizing the thought and resources of this Sbte to make conditions better. This is the supreme test of patriotic statesmanship.

The results of your deliberations will vitally affect the lives and happiness of three million Georgians. In our scheme of government the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Departments are all separate and distinct and each operates within its own proper sphere. In its last analysis, however, the representatives of the people, convened into Legislative session are the all-powerful branch of the government. They have the power, within Constitutional limitations, to prescribe or circumscribe the power of other coordinate branches. They furnish the sinews of finance for the support of every agencyof government and, through this power alone, are supreme.

This is meet and proper for the Legislature convenes every two years, fresh from the people, not subject to intimidation or dictation, to legislate solely for the benefit of the whole people while the voices of their constituents are yet ringing in their ears.

I know the spirit of service in which this General Assembly convenes and that they will not heed the siren voice of those who might have a special interest to protect or promote, but that they will consider every piece of legisla-

tion coming before them solely with the view of legislating for the greatest good of the greatest number.

ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD OF THE HOUR
It is unnecessary for me to state that it will b~ necessary for the Legislature to practice the most rigid economy in the expenditure of money. The Treasury of a government cannot avoid reflecting the condition of its citizens. Hard times have reduced the State's income, both from income and property taxes, as well as from other sources of revenue.
The increased valu" of the dollar, due to its scarcity, should enable the State to give practically the same service to its people at reduced cost and the greatest problem of government now is to obtain one hundred cents of service for every tax dollar paid into the Treasury, for many of those tax dollars represent blood money wrung from citizens who are already hard pressed.
During my tenure of office we have sought to scan every governmental expenditure with extreme care with the one idea of seeing that the State budget was balanced and that the staggering total of past due and unpaid appropriations to the State's institutions was not increased.
The severity of the depression has caused conditions to change so rapidly that i.t is difficult to give definite information as to the future ~:tatus of the State's finances. The fiscal condition can change before the ink is dry on figures that are based on information that in the past has been reliable.
For example, in making up the budget the estimated income for 1932 was greatly reduced below that for 1931 in an effort to be on the side of safety, but, despite all precautions, there would have been an additional deficit for 1932 but for the saving clause in the Appropriation Bill

184

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

which provided for an equal cut in the appropriation to every spending agency in case the State's income showed any further reduction and was not sufficient to meet all appropriations in full.

The Legislature at its last meeting in 1931 recognized the stress of economic conditions and passed legislation that was designed to meet it. They reduced appropriations materially from what they had been in previous years in order to make governmental expenditures meet the income of the State.
In addition to this they passed a far-reaching and comprehensive bill which reorganized the Executive and Administrative branches of the government with the end in view of increasing the efficiency of the State government and thereby rendering better service to our people at a reduced cost.

It is recognized that the first step to economic recovery must be the reduction of governmental expenditures in every subdivision of government from Washington down to the smallest and most remote local school district which has the power to levy taxes.
But for the progressive thought and action of the last Legislature, it is doubtful if all of the State's institutions could have been operated during this administration and the standard of service heretofore rendered been maintained on the limited funds available.
Two of the most important instrumentalities in effecting economics are shown in the operation of the institutions of higher education of the State under the control of the Board of Regents of the University System and the operation of the various eleemosynary and charitable institutions of the State under the Board of ControL
The Reorganization Act of 1931 placed under the control

185

of the Board of Regents the twenty-four branches of the University System which are maintained by the State, as well as of the two agricultural experiment stations which have heretofore received support from the State Treasury.
In the year 1931, being the year before the remedial legislation enacted by the past Assembly took effect, the total appropriation for these various units of government amounted to the sum of $2,302,116.00. All of this was not paid but a substantial portion of the amounts not received and expended were either borrowed or utilized in credits chargeable against unpaid appropriations which represent the State deficit.
Under the administration of the Board of Regents in the year 1932 these same institutions received from the State Treasury, under the terms of the 1931 Appropriation Act, the sum of $1,685,697.50, a reduction in appropriation of $616,418.50.
Despite this great economy and reduction in funds available for the maintenance and support of these institutions, their doors have been kept open and the high quality of the training heretofore given the young manhood and womanhood of Georgia has been maintained. It is also interesting to note that practically as many students are in attendance on our University System in 1932 as has been the case in any other year in the history of our State and that, despite the rigors of hard times, the parents of Georgia are still determined to give their boys and girls the advantages of educational training.
The Reorganization Act of 1931 also placed under the direction and control of a central Board of Control all of the important hospitals and social institutions of the State, including the Milledgeville State Hospital for the mentally afflicted, the Tubercular Sanitorium at Alto, the School for Mentally Deficient Children at Gracewood, The School for the Deaf, the School for the Blind, the Training School for

186

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

Girls and the Training School for Boys, at Milledgeville, as well as the Confederate Soldiers Home, in Atlanta.

The total amount provided in the General Appropriation Bill of 1929, for expenditure by these institutions in the y~ar 1931, was $2,057,270.00, and such part of this sum as was not actually pa,id to these institutions was added to the State deficit and in many cases resulted in these institutions incurring indebtednesses against past due appropriations that are still in existence.
In the year 1932, the Board of Control of these institutions, which was created by the Reorganization Act of 1931, received the sum of $1,583,707.50, which had been contributed by the taxpayers of the State to the State Treasury, making a reduction of $473,562.50 in the appropriations. to these institutions.
Despite the great decrease in the amounts appropriated to these institutions, the Board of Control has not only operated very successfully but has actually taken part of the reduced 1932 appropriation and applied it to debts contracted in previous years when the State was operating under an unbalanced budget.

It would be tiresome were I to take up each of these institutions in detail and outline all of the savings that have been accomplished. However, as an illustration, the Board of Control was enabled to pay the sum of $24,750.28 from its 1932 appropriation to the State Sanitarium for tuberculars at Alto in discharging debts which were incurred prior to 1932 and which had been contracted by reason of the failure of the State to pay its appropriations. This payment and the application of the funds derived from dis-
counted W. & A. Rentals wiped out and satisfied a deficit of $38,492.28, which was inherited by the Board of Control
when it took over these institutions and left this institution without a dollar's indebtedness.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933.

187

It is interesting to note in passing that the per capita cost per day of this institution to the taxpayers has been reduced from $2.10 a day in 1931 to $1.86 a day in 1932. It is, of course, recognized that a tubercular sanitarium is one of the most expensive institutions per patient supported by any government and I am confident that the per capita cost here compares favorably with the cost of similar institutions in our sister states.
In the case of the Georgia State Hospital at Milledgeville, the Board of Control has been able to reduce the per capita cost per day from sixty-two cents in 1931 to forty-nine cents in 1932, and, despite the greatly reduced maintenance appropriation for this institution in 1932, they have paid the sum of $62,897.28 from this appropriation on accounts which were incurred prior to 1932 by reason of the State's failing to pay appropriations in full.
When the Board of Control took charge of the affairs of this institution, there was a floating indebtedness of $287,691.50 and by payments from 1932 appropriations and application of funds received from the discounted W. & A. rentals with the Highway Department, the sum of $125,467.28 has been applied on these past due debts.
This is the largest of all the State's eleemosynary institut-ions and, despite the fact that the capacity of this institution is 4,700 patients, the average daily population in 1932 amounted to 5,671.
The manner in which the burdens of the State's institutions of this nature are increased by the hard times which are beirig experienced in the homes of our people, is evidenced by the fact that there are almost 1,003 on the waiting list of this institution that it is impossible to admit, as the limited facilities are already taxed to the utmost.
Figures are always tiresome and I will not tax your patience by detailed statements on other institutions under the direction of these two Boards. The two instances cited

188

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

illustrate in part the manifold benefits which have accrued to the tax burdened citizens of this State by reason of the creation of the Board of Regents and the Board of Control.
It was impossible, under the old haphazard system, to obtain these savings, despite the splendid efforts of the patriotic men and women who comprised the thirty odd different Boards and governing bodies thereof, due to the fact that, under the old system there was no correlation of effort, and, in addition, there was a grievous lack of centralized authority and information as to the activities of other institutions of similar kind.
The citizens who make up the personnel of the Board of Regents and the Board of Control have unselfishly given of their time and talents to maintain the vital institutions of this State at a minimum of expense to a tax burdened people and they are entitled to receive the appreciation of the entire State for the success which has crowned their efforts. In the face of shrinking incomes and drastically reduced means we have been enabled, through the powers conferred in the Reorganization Act, not only to stand still but actually to move forward.
.The total amount of revenue collected from our people in taxes and imbursed into the State Treasury during the year 1931 amounted to $31,511,833.64, and in the year 1932 the revenue of the State decreased nearly three and a half million dollars to $28,156,177.14. The wisdom of the General Assembly's action in 1931 in providing for a balanced budget and cutting the cloth of expenditure to fit the garment of income is clearly manifested when we compare the appropriations made for the year 1931 with the appropriations made by the Legislature in 1931 for the year 1932. The total amount appropriated by the General Assembly for all purposes in the year 1931, including allocated funds, was $33,569,839.03, whereas the total amount appropriated by the General Assembly for all purposes for the year 1932 was $28,134,688.87. That this administration has been an

TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933.

189

economical one is evidenced by this reduction of $5,435,150.16, which included the shrinkage in allocated funds.
As I have stated, the condition of the State's Treasury in regard to revenue accruing necessarily reflects the financial condition of the citizens of the State. There has been a drastic reduction in the amount of ad valorem property taxes paid into the State's treasury for the past two years and this reduction is especially marked in the comparison between 1931 and 1932.
Ad valorem property taxes paid into the State's Treasury in the year 1931 amounted to $6,275,736.24, whereas the total amount of ad valorem taxes paid into the State's Treasury in the year 1932 was $5,111,851.24, a shrinkage in the State's revenue from this one source of $1,161,885.00.

Consideration of these figures will give you some idea of the difficulties of administering the State's business efficiently on the greatly reduced revenue which has been encountered by the outgoing administration and which awaits you and my successor in office.
This General Assembly is charged with the responsibility of maintaining a balanced budget and it becomes your duty to scrutinize carefully every governmental appropriation and every agency of the State's government. We cannot attempt to spend more money than is paid into the Treasury without causing confusion and impairing the credit of the State and reflecting on its good name. Appropriations must be reduced and service dispensed with until we are sure that the State will live within its income.

The reorganized government is not perfect in all of its details. Human institutions never achieve perfection. It is the duty of your body to make such further eliminations and consolidations as may be necessary to afford the taxpayers of this State the relief that the times demand and that they have a right to expect.

190

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

UNPAID APPROPRIATIONS
There is a large total of past due and unpaid appropriations due to various institutions and agencies of the State that has come down to us from the days before we recognized the necessity of balancing the budget and which have constituted a considerable problem in the operation of the State's affairs. As I have pointed out heretofore, it is useless to discuss the legality of unpaid appropriations which are carried over from year to year. In so far as they represent debts of the institutions concerned, which were contracted in good faith in the expectation of receiving funds promised by act of the General Assembly, they must be paid and liquidated. We cannot do less if we hope to preserve the credit and good name of Georgia.
The sum of $1,902,112.20 was paid on these past due and unpaid appropriations for 1928-1929 and 1930 in October, 1931. Even after this payment the total amount of these past due and unpaid appropriations, as of December 31st, 1931, was $9,215,363.55. Necessarily past indebtednesses made in more prosperous times, when our citizens were better able to pay taxes, could not be speedily liquidated in the face of such a tremendous drop in revenue without abolishing important institutions that are rendering valuable services to our people.
The amount of past due and unpaid appropriations or cash deficit, as of December 31st, 1932, was $7,575,231.87. The State has paid the substantial sum of $1,640,131.68 in liquidating these past due debts during the year 1932, without incurring any increase whatever in the deficit, and with its income greatly reduced.
TEMPORARY LOANS UNDER CONSTITUTION
When this administration commenced, in addition to the past due and unpaid appropriations just referred to, the State owed the sum of $3,900,000.00 in current debts of unquestioned validity, representing monies obtained under

TUESDAY, jANUARY 10, 1933.

191

the Constitutional borrowing power of the Governor for the common schools and 'under the provision permitting the Governor to borrow money to supply casual deficiencies, and there was no substantial amount of money in the Treasury with which to meet this obligation.
The State now owes only $2,700,000.00 that was contracted by exercise of the borrowing power of the Governor since this administration commenced. The State, therefore, owes $1,200,000.00 less in borrowed money than when this administration commenced and, in addition, we have on hand in the Treasury the sum of $1,100,,000.00 to meet the first maturity of these notes which comes January 15th, and amounts to one million dollars principal.

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS
For the first time in a number of years, this administration has been able to meet monthly the current pension payments to the heroes of the Confederacy and their widows. These payments have not always been met promptly on the first of the month, due to the difficulty of collecting taxes, but all of these recipients of the gratitude of a great people have been paid all pensions that have become due during .this administration, except for the monthof December, and there is almost enough money in the Treasury from the cigar and cigarette tax to meet this and it will be paid within a few days.

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM

Our public school system is the foundation of society and on its progress depends the future of representative government. Without regard for the vital necessity of curtailing governmental activities, we cannot afford to take any step that will deprive the boys and girls of Georgia of the advantages of the training of the common schools. Those who have the actual direction of this great work in their keeping have carried on through this period of depression

192

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

and have maintained the standard of efficiency and the quality of service of past years. There is doubtless great room for improvement and expansion in our common school system and each General Assembly should work with this end in view. The schools have not had as much money available as in 1931 but we have at least kept our schools open and available to our people when many of our sister states have been compelled to close their schools or drastically shorten the terms for the lack of finances.

The State Equalization Fund allocated to the common school system, which is designed to aid in partly equalizing educational advantages of the boys and girls of rural sections with those who live in proximity to our excellent city schools, has meant the very life of some of our rural schools and has proven of incalculable benefit to those who have educational advantages and facilities.
In my opinion this is the most important and valuable money that is expended by the State for any purpose and promises a greater return on the investment. In these trying times when the collection of taxes by local school districts has shown a great decrease, nothing should be done that will reduce the amount which is supplied them by the Equalization J!und.
Conditions require us to study every governmental expenditure in the hope of finding a means to economize without impairing efficiency and the common schools should be no exception to this rule, but the difficulties of our rural schools are so great in this hour that I am sure the Assembly will not consider disturbing the present Equalization Fund.

One of the outstanding achievements of the past Legislature was the enactment of the uniform School Book Law, providing for the installation of a uniform system that will have the same books used in every schoolhouse in Georgia. This legislation will enable the people of Georgia

TUESDAY, jANUARY 10, 1933.

193

to obtain school books for their children of the very highest quality at greatly reduced prices, and, at the expiration of present contracts, this economy for our people will be enjoyed and no longer will people moving from one school district to another be required to buy an entirely new set of books for their children and the State has much more latitude in contracting for school books.
THE TAX SYSTEM
In my Inaugural Address two years ago, J pointed out to the General Assembly that the uniform system of ad valorem taxes in this State had long since served its purpose and was worn out and broken down and that it placed an undue burden upon the owners of farm lands and other real estate and visible property. We see today that thousands of owners of farms and homes cannot meet the taxes imposed upon them and have been financially crushed by the strain of being forced to bear practically all of the burden of government, including state, county, municipal, and other local subdivisions. The State alone has over three million dollars due it in uncollected property taxes. The income of the farm and the home owner has been largely swept away and the burden of taxes assessed against real property by the various subdivisions of government amounts to confiscation and d2prives all save the very wealthy of the right of owning the home in which he lives unencumbered.
In my Message to the General Assembly in 1931, I recommended an Amendment to the Constitution which would permit the Legislature to classify property for tax purposes. This is in keeping with the modern trend and will enable the Legislature to impose taxes upon that class of property best able to stand it, with an idea of relieving farm lands, and perhaps all real estate, from taxes for State purposes.
The General Assembly proposed a Constitutional Amendment which provided merely for the classification of in-

194

JouRNAl. OF THE HousE,

tangible property and, on account of the fact that this Amendment was capable of more than one construction and undertook to limit the total tax assessed against all classes of intangible property at five mills, the people rejected it at the polls in November.
I again recommend that the Constitution of this State be amended so as to empower the General Assembly to classify property for the purposes of taxation.

The chief difficulty in securing the passage of this Amendment in the past has been the efforts of the authors of such legislation to write into the Constitution to0 many restrictions and inhibitions in the levying of such a tax, but we must bear in mind that all the wisdom and patriotism and courage of this State will not perish with the adjournment of any one Legislature and I recommend that a Constitutional Amendment be passed which will merely provide that the General Assembly shall have the right and power to classify property for purposes of taxation and levy different rates of taxation on different classes of property and to further give the General Assembly the right to segregate different classes of property for tax purposes between the State and its various subdivisions of government.
Other Legislatures have met and considered the advisability of reforming our tax system so as to relieve real property of its unbearable burden. This Legislature is faced with the necessity of tax reform if they would not have wrung from the hands of the owners the homes and farms that remain in their hands. The burden of the cost of government in this State must be more equitably distributed and it is imperative that the State retire from the field of property tax on land and derive its income from other sources.
HIGHWAY PROGRESS
Since July 1, 1931, the State Highway Department has

TUESDAY, jANUARY 10, 1933.

195

constructed 909 miles of pavement on the State aid system and, in addition, has constructed 684 miles of earth, soil and gravel roads. This has resulted in th(; connection of many of the broken links in our system that have heretofore been such a nightmare to the traveler in bad weather.

Though we have made great I>rogress in road construction,there are still a number of counties in the State, whose citizens have contributed tax money for many years for the purpose of building highways, who still either have no pavement at all or have a small amount of paving within their borders.

The Counties of Atkinson, Baker, Banks. Bleckley, Calhoun, Clay, Fayette, Forsyth, Glascock, Greene, Heard, Lincoln, Marion, Miller, Paulding, Randolph, Treutlen, Webster and Wilkinson have not a foot of pavement within their borders.
The Counties of Butts, Crawford, Dawson, Echols, Jenkins, Murray, Polk and Quitman have less than six miles of pavement, and the Counties of Berrien, Candler, Columbia, Evans, Franklin, Hancock, Johnson, Lamer, Oglethorpe, Rockdale, Screven, Talbot, Tattnall, Twiggs, Upson. Warren, and Wheeler have less than ten miles of pavement to serve their citizens.

Whatever the exigencies of the times may dictate that you do with the State's revenue, common justice to the counties that have no pavement demands that legislation be enacted that will see that, from such funds as are appropriated to the Highway Department, these counties obtain at least one paved highway before all construction work on the State Highway system ceases. I am confident that, regardless of whether all of the roads in many of our counties are paved to completion, the sense of fairness of every member of this body would impell him to protect the interests of the citizens of these counties who have contributed

196

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

taxes patiently for many years in the hope of obtaining an all-weather road.
The people ratified the Constitutional Amendment providing for the repayment of the various counties of the State the funds that they had advanced to the State Highway Department for expenditure on the roads within the State system. This Constitutional provision will take about two and a half million dollars from funds appropriated to the Highway Department, commencing in 1936, to repay ten per cent of these funds annually for ten years. 148 counties of the State are holding these certificates of indebtedness from the State Highway Department and it will be a great relief to the taxpayers of these counties to obtain these funds. These payments to the counties will help to retire County bonds and reduce county tax rates and lighten the heavy burden now resting on the owners of homes, real estate and visible property.
Our State highway system is taking form and is paid for. Our people have no huge bonded indebtedness hanging over them and the wisdom of our action in clinging to the established policy of our State of avoiding indebtedness is justified in these trying times when the great increase in the value of the dollar is placing an almost unbearable strain upon governments who have fixed charges for the amortization of huge bonded debts. It is the experience of history that the fluctuating v~lue of money in times of depression can result disastrously to those who have large indebtednesses that were contracted when money was cheap and plentiful. The tax dollar paid today on a bonded indebtedness incurred in 1919 means that the postponement of payment for the service is causing it to cost the taxpayer much more than interest.

REGULATION OF BUSSES AND TRUCKS
One of the most serious problems before the people of Georgia today with reference to our highway system is the

TUESDAY, jANUARY 10, 1933.

197

proper regulation of motor trucks and busses of unusual size and weight and those operated for hire upon the public highways.
There has been a clash of thought between those who are interested in the railro8,ds and are alarmed at the rapidly decreasing revenue of these utilities, which has been partly attributed to the competition with motor transportation, and those who hold that the motor busses and trucks should. be permitted to operate upon the public highways on the theory of service to the people without any special taxation or regulation.
Without regard to the argument between the railroads and bus lines, the people of Georgia have a vital interest in this matter. They have paid an enormous sum in taxes over a long period of years in an effort to obtain an allweather system of paved roads to serve them. There is no question but that loads of excessive weight are very damaging to the highways and shorten their life of service materially.
I recommend that the General Assembly enact proper legislation to see that loads of a weight or size sufficient to damage the highways or endanger the lives of others traveling the highways be prohibited and that all transportation on the highways for hire be taxed its due proportion.

HIGHWAY PATROL
I recommend to you that you study the advisability of using a State Highway patrol.
In this age of modern transportation, such a system will mean the saving of lives of many who travel our highways, as well as the enforcement of all motor vehicle laws. There is no reason why the State Highway patrol cannot carry on all of the work now being done by the inspectors assigned to the Public Service Commission for the enforce-

198

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

ment of the regulatory measures under that Department; the inspectors who are enforcing the automobile license tag tax, who are assigned to the Revenue Department and the Highway Department; and the collectors of the taxes assessed on busses and trucks, who are assigned to the Revenue Commission, under the direction of the ComptrollerGeneral. It might also be possible for such a State Highway patrol to undertake the enforcement of the taxes on cigarette and cigar sales and special license taxes and in one compact organization of State handle work now being done under the heads of many Departments much more efficiently and expeditiously and at a great reduction in expense with an increase of service.

ELECTION LAWS
Georgia has practically no election laws for the conduct of General Elections except in the counties which use the Australian ballot and this law is incomplete and vague. The Governor and Secretary of State and the other State officials charged with the duty of administering the election laws and directing the elections are thrown more upon custom, usage and expediency than upon statutory direction and authority. The Legislature would per!orm a distinct service to the State if some of the members of this body would study and prepare an Act that would clarify and harmonize the various statutes of this State relating to General Elections.

"LAME DUCK" AMENDMENT TO FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION
Since the last meeting of the Legislature, the Congress of the United States has proposed to the Legislatures of the several states an Amendment to the Federal Constitution abolishing the commonly designated "lame duck" sessions of Congress and providing for the inauguration of the President and the installation of newly elected members

TUESDAY, jANUARY 10, 1933.

199

of Congress in January rather than in March, as is now the system.
This change in our National Constitution is similar to the change made in our State Constitution by virtue of which this Legislature meets and my successor is inaugurated today rather than the latter part of June, as was heretofore provided.
It is apparent to anyone that this Amendment will promote the efficiency of our government and will permit the will of our people to be more speedily translated into law and I recommend that the General Assembly of Georgia immediately ratify this proposed AmendmE:nt to the Constitution of the United States.

FORESTRY EXPERIMENT
The Forestry Department is conducting a most important work in experiment and research at Savannah, Georgia, to determine the possibility and practicability of manufacturing paper from various types of Georgia pine. This was made possible through legislation enacted by the past Legislature, appropriating $20,000.00 for eacl:. of the years 1932 and 1933 and by obtaining a grant of $50,000.00 from the Chemical Foundation. We are, therefore, fortunate enough to have the State Treasury relieved of the greater part of the expense of this important work.

There are untold possibilities in this movement and the progress of the work to the present time gives great hope that it will be successful. It would be a great boon to the State and our people if this additional source of wealth could be firmly established in our State. We have thousands of abandoned farms that are now a dead expense to their owners and if we find it possible to utilize our vacant lands and, through reforestration, provide a source of income for the owners, it will mean new industries for our State and an increase in the income of our people.

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The duties of the Governor's office have been arduous and trying during my eighteen months of office, but it has been a labor of love to attempt to serve the people of my State and justify the ~onfidence that they have expressed in me.

Words cannot express the gratitude that I feel for the members of the General Assembly for their wholehearted cooperation in our efforts to adjust the State's business to rapidly changing conditions.

In assuming office as Governor I stated that our problems could not be met without the aid and assistance of every patriotic citizen of this State. That assistance has been given and without it our efforts could not have possibly attained any measure of success.

It is a source of gratification to me that it has not been necessary to proclaim martial law in any section of this State during my tenure of office and that not a single life has been taken in Georgia by lynching.

I have sought to enforce fairly all the laws and to exercise carefully the power of clemency vested in the Governor by the Constitution, weighing carefully the dictates of mercy and human sympathy with the rights of society and the proper vindication of the law.

If there is one final thought that I would enjoin upon

you, which comes as a result of my experience as a member

of this body and in the Governor's office, it is that, what-



ever may come, you balance the budget of the State and

see that appropriations do not exceed the income. We

cannot appropriate more money than comes into the Treas-

ury without disaster. The people of Georgia cannot stand

any considerable increase in taxation and some of those

who have long borne burdens which have become unbear-

able must be relieved. If it becomes your painful duty to

be compelled to cut expenses lower than have heretofore

been known, I know that you will face the issue like men.

TGESDAY, }ANGARY 10, 1933.

201

As you approach the grave problems before you for solution, I can assure you that I am aware of the many obstacles and difficulties which you will meet. From my years of service in this body, I can understand the conflicting emotions that will be yours as you are importuned on one side for either increased appropriations or special favors and are met on the other hand with pleas from those who demand a reduction in expenditures.
The patience and courage of our people have been tried to the limit by the fires of adversity and discouragement. They have met disaster after disaster with a fortitude and Spartan courage that is worthy of the heritage of courage handed down to us by those who built our State in the face of trials and adversities. Suffering and discouragement have been borne with a sublime faith in the ultimate future of our State when the shadows which now surround us shall have passed away. The spirit of self-sacrifice and resourcefulness demonstrated during the trying times through which we have been passing, demonstrate that we still have in our people a pricelt=>ss asset in keeping with the natural advantages which when properly utilized will make our State self-contained.
The sinister seeds of Communism and Socialism, naturally expected to germinate in a spirit of discontent, have found no welcome within our borders and have not affected a people who still cling to the landmarks that our forefathers set and who rightly interpret that no material change for the better can come except through the orderly processes of constitutional government.

GEORGIA'S BICENTENNIAL
Next month marks the two hundredth anniversary of the landing of James Oglethorpe at Yamacraw Bluff and the bi_rth of the State of Georgia. This event will be celebrated with appropriate exercises in every county of Georgia and will enable all the people of our State to review our

202

}OURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

glorious history and reappraise the great achievements of the sons and daughters of Georgia.
The history of Georgia has been one long struggle with adversity from the time the Colony was founded as a military outpost to serve as a buffer between the Spaniards of the South and the Indians of the West for the protection of the other Colonies scattered along the Atlantic seaboard.
May we be able to reach into the recesses of the past and refresh and sustain ourselves with the unconquerable determination of those who overcome apparen~ly insurmountable obstacles as they pressed forward in the building of the civilization we enjoy today.
This is no time for hysteria or for panic. Our problems will only be solved by calm reasoning and clear judgments. We have come to realize that progress along the road to recovery will be slow and tedious and that there is no magic lamp that can be rubbed to bring back a time of immediate prosperity.
It is the duty of this General Assembly to justify the faith and patience of a great people by passing all remedial legislation within their power to afford our people the fullest measure of relief that the combined resources of this Commonwealth will afford.
I leave the Office of Governor of Georgia with full confidence that the members of this body are approaching their duties in a spirit of service worthy of the finest history and traditions of Georgia and that you will render your full contribution to carry our State forward and to help our people emerge from the shadows of the hour.

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF EUGENE TALMADGE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA January 10, 1933

Ladies and gentlemen of the General Assembly, and my fellow countrymen: Sometime the ambition of a life time is realized, and we stand before you today feeling our inadequacy to express our thoughts and feelings.
In appearing before the General Assembly of Georgia I wish you to know that I thoroughly realize that the Legislative branch of the Government is the highest branch of our Government under the Constitution of the State of Georgia.
I wish you to know that I thoroughly realize that you are here to look after the interests of the people of the State while you are here and to fix it so I can look after them for you when you have gone.
I feel that campaign pledges and promises are sacred things. I feel that an official who comes into office should give first consideration to his campaign promises which he carried before the people of the State. I want to talk to you about a few of these.
Since an emergency has arisen in this State I think it proper and request the General Assembly of the State to stay here in session so as to pass on legislation. Under the law now the Legislature meets for ten days. As I understand it, it can only organize and introduce bills. You can continue in regular session, however, by joint resolution of both Houses and I respectfully request that you do this and dispose of the emergency legislation that requires urgent attention.
One of my campaign promises to the people of Georgia was that I would try to get them an automobile tag for the flat rate of $3.00. I do not know of anything that

TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933.

205

would help the people of Georgia more and help business more than to put three million dollars in the pockets of the people of the State. Should you reduce the automobile tax to $3.00 it would leave with our people over three million dollars to supply their needs, to buy clothing, to help buy school books, to help buy gasoline and other absolute necessities of life. This of course can not be done for them unless you continue in regular session. It has been the policy of the Revenue Department to extend the time for buying tags each year until the first of March. If you give them this $3.00 tag the emergency would be met and the automobile owners could get their tags at the reduced price before many days have passed.
There is another emergency I wish to call to your attention.
The county officers of this State are in trouble about their guaranty bonds, treasures'r bonds, tax collector's bonds, county school superintendent's bonds and other bonds that they are required to give by statute. This trouble arose because of the failure of so many banks over the State. When the banks failed with county funds in them the officials and their bondsmen were held responsible for this money. We had a meeting of county officers recently at the Capitol, this meeting was attended by members of the General Assembly both from the Senate and the House, and a committee was appointed at that time to draft legislation more exactly defining the liability of the bonds and limiting their liability. I think if a county designates a bank as a depository and if the State designates a bank as a depository and the officials keep their money in such bank and it fails that the officials should not be held accountable for that money. Under the present law the ordinary of a county can declare the office void if an official has not given bond by that date. Today is the 1Oth day of January. I think this anticipated legislation will defer action of the ordinaries and give the General Assembly of the State time to act in this emergency.

206

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

There is another serious emergency in this State that needs attention before the winter is over. Ad valorem taxes in a great many instances are not being paid and in a great many instances the county officers, whose duty it is to sell the property for taxes, are not doing it. Why are they not doing it? Because they know that they cannot sell it and if the county bids it in they will have the property on their hands and will be out the advertising fees. This is a wise business precaution they are exercising.
Due to the non-payment of taxes our schools are in danger, especially our rural schools, of having to close their doors. The first duty of the State as I see it, after protecting a man in making an honest living, is to provide for our schools and give our children the opportunity of a common school education, in the elementary branches of the English language. If this is neglected we are damming the stream at its source. Watch the common schools and protect them.
We know that our property cannot stand the present combination of our ad valorem taxes-State, county, municipal and local school taxes. It is not only bearing down on the farm lands and farm homes, but it is bearing down on our towns and city property, on homes, storehouses and office buildings.
One of the best solutions I can think of for this is for the General Assembly to put teeth in our invisible property laws. Put this property where the tax collectors can find it. If invisible wealth pays its fair part of the cost of Government the tax rate on both tangible and intangible property can be lowered.
The people cannot pay the present ad valorem taxes. I agree with them that they cannot. The people of Georgia need a law limiting the amount, the percentage, the millage that counties can levy. After all the hard taxes that bear down on the people are the local, municipal and county taxes and the sky is practically the limit on them.

TuESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933.

207

I think in such an emergency the legislature should pass legislation this spring that will affect the tax payers and not wait until August or September when it will not protect the tax payers for the year 1933.
My countrymen, during the war, when the price of cotton was forty cents a pound, and they paid $3.00 for a bushel of corn meal and everything else was high, the cost of Government increased, salaries were raised, bureaus and boards were enlarged to give the people jobs because we had plenty of money and taxes were easily paid. We have got to cut the cost of our Government.
The only way I know to do it is to abolish every department that we can do without. After you do this, start with the Governor and cut his salary and follow this all down the line.
My countrymen there are a great many departments of State. There are departments that spend millions of dollars, hard paid by the people of the State. The largest department of State is the Highway Department.
In 1931 the Highway Department spent around twentyone million dollars.
In 1932 the Highway Department spent around fifteen million dollars.
The indebtedness of the Highway Department on December 31st, 1932, was over ten million dollars, which included contracts let in advance in the amount of nine million dollars."
I think that the anticipated revenue of the Highway Department for the first six months of this year is overestimated. I do not think this anticipated revenue will come in. When you give us this $3.00 tag I am sure this will reduce some of the anticipated revenue. Our gasoline tax will also be less this year because the people haven't the money to buy it.

208

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The practice of anticipating revenue, by any department, and doing business in advance is illegal.

The General Assembly at its special session of 1931 passed what is known as the budget law. My construction of this law is that no department can act without first having its expenses submitted to the budget committee and having it approved by them, and then it can only be approved for 90 days.

Another thing I wish to call to your attention, and I am sorry that our General Assembly cannot control this. To my mind the gravest danger which confronts us is the wartime freight rates and transportation rates in this country. In other words, the railroads are persisting in charging the wartime rates when everything else has gone down.

They are charging as high rate on a forty-cent bushel of meal as they charged when meal was $3.00 a bushel. They are charging as much for hauling a $3 5 mule as they used to charge for hauling a $300 mule. They are charging more for hauling two fifty-cent crates of cantaloupes than they did for hauling a $2.00 crate of cantaloupes from my home town.

Transportation rates cannot stand upon such adjustment

with other prices, they will have to follow along together,

and I pledge you that while I am Governor of Georgia not

only my activities here in Georgia but my activities with the

other Governors of the whole United States when we meet

in convention in seeing that freight and transportation rates

are reduced in proportion with everything else. If they do

not then the railroads are very foolish and are killing the

goose that laid the golden egg.

'

Another thing I wish to call your attention to is our road building. In the past ten years we have built a lot of roads, paved roads, sand clay roads, fine bridges, at a great expense to the people. 'Ve are all proud of them. On these roads there are running commercial trucks and busses. Com-

TcESDAY, ]A~UARY 10, 1933.

209

mercial trucks and busses should be regulated for two reasons. First for the safety of the roads-to protect our roads, and then to protect the people who are traveling our highways. This legislation should deal in weight and size of trucks and busses.
I wish to call your attention to the outstanding indebtedness of the State of Georgia. The present State deficit as of December 31st, 1932, (and all figures are as of December 31st, 1932), according to the State Auditor is $7,575,231.87 on a cash basis.
It is important to note that the actual collection of ad valorem taxes hy the State decreased in round figures one million dollars from 1931 to 1932.
There is due to the common schools on the Barret Rogers fund $932,500.00 and under the general appropriation to the common schools $2,189,817.28. There are unpaid pensions to Confederate Veterans and their wives of $659,520.00, prior to 1932. There is also due these pensioners the December, 1932, check. There is $99,000.00 available to pay the December pensions and there is also available $63,000.00 to pay on the indebtedness to these Confederate pensioners prior to 1932.
I want to call your attention to this. We have very few Confederate veterans in this State. Lee surrendered at Appomattox almost 68 years ago, in April, 1865. To meet and shake hands with these old soldiers makes you realize how old they are getting. You will know that even the boys who fought in the Confederate army of fourteen years of age would be 82 years old now. Of course many of their wives are younger. They need their money sorely. If the list is properly kept and checked as it decreases there will be only a few of these left in the coming years. We should certainly pay this money to those who are entitled to it.
The State is due our charitable institutions for maintenance for 1932$663,190.55 and for buildings $547,164.15.

210

JoURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The total amount of money expended by the State for all purposes in 1932 was around $30,000,000.00. This is too much. The entire cotton crop of the State at prevailing prices was around $23,000,000.00. In other words the expense of our Government last year was $7,000,000.00 more than our entire cotton crop in Georgia for that year at prevailing prices. The people of Georgia unqualifiedly and almost unanimously demand substantial reduction in the cost of Government.

My countrymen, it is useless for me to dwell at length before the members of the General Assembly on the condition of Georgia at this time. You are .fresh from the country. You have left good men, women and children, and especially white women and children raggedy and barefooted, some of them are ashamed to go to church and ashamed to go to school. Not only have you left them like this but many of them are hungry, and in our cities there are ever-increasing bread lines.

This is the sacred duty that we are here to deal with.

In good times, in prosperous years when everybody had money and taxes were easily paid, I imagine a man would enjoy being Governor and have a good time, but at the present time the waves look rocky to me.

You know that our first duty as a legislature is to give

justice to whom? To the people who work, to

-

"The horny hands whose steady labor brings

The pheasant's food and the golden pomp of kings."

Taking the oath and addressing you today reminds me of a poem which aptly illustrates the storm of economic conditions and the mandate to the one at the helm:

Saturn, God of the storm sink me if you will Saturn, God of the storm save me if you will

But sink me or save me, I will hold my rudder true.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A RESOLUTION

Whereas, Honorable William R. Bowen, of the County

of Ben Hill, was elected to the Legislature from Ben Hill

County; and

-

Whereas, on September the 18th, 1932, the Honorable William R. Bowen passed on to his reward; and

Whereas, the County of Ben Hill and the State of Georgia has lost the services of a great citizen and a real Christian gentleman,

Therefore, that it be resolved by the House of Representatives, that we extend to the members of the family its regret for the loss and its sympathy in their bereavement.

That this resolution be printed in the House Journal and a copy be sent to the bereaved family.

By Messrs. Allen and Manning of CobbHouse Resolution No. 25:

A RESOLUTION

Whereas, the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of Hon. W. T. Pace, a distinguished former member of this House from the County of Cobb; and,
JVhereas, we fully realize that in his untimely death this body has lost his patriotic services, and also has been deprived of the association of one of its most valued, faithful and beloved members;

Resolved further, that the Clerk transmit a copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased.

By Mr. Burson of BarrowHouse Resolution No. 26:

A RESOLUTION
Whereas, the price of cotton is now to a low level, which is bringing about the financial ruin of the farmers of Georgia and the South, causing thousands of them to lose their homes, which deplorable condition is largely brought about by reason of under-consumption of cotton; and
Whereas, agriculture constitutes the backbone of this country and no permanent improvement in the economic condition of this nation can be had until the purchasing power of the farmer is restored and the farmer is enabled to receive a fair return for his labor; and
ll''hereas, any measure or movement that will increase the consumption of cotton will tend to increase the price of cotton and thus aid in restoring prosperity to the South and nation; and
Whereas, some two million additional bales of cotton annually would be used if cotton were substituted for jute in various uses; and
IVhereas, it is manifestly unfair that jute, which is raised in India by laborers who receive only ten cents per day, should in the American market come in competition with cotton raised by native Americans; and
Whereas, the American product, cotton, should be used in the place of jute twine, jute bagging covering American cotton, jute sacks covering American grain and vegetables, jute products used in American-made rugs, millions of yards of jute burlap used in building public highways, and countless other uses of jute where American, especially of low grade, could be used,
Therefore be it resolved by the House, the Senate con-

244

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

curring, that the General Assembly of Georgia go on record as favoring, so long as tariffs are imposed on other imports competing with other agricultural products, a tariff tax on jute importations, as well as hides, fats and vegetable oils which give to cotton and products of cotton and cottonseed, a fair and equal chance in the American markets, and other agricultural products equal protection against pauper labor produced farm products of foreign countries.
Be it further resolved, that the Senators and members of Congress from Georgia be requested to use their best efforts to obtain a tax on jute importations.
Be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Senator vValter F. George, Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr., and the members of Congress from Georgia.

Whereas, this wholesale change of books is and will be a severe hardship upon the taxpayers and patrons of the schools of this State, because of the large number of new books that will necessarily have to be purchased, and the great number of books now in the hands of the pupils which must be discarded, thus causing a double charge against the patrons; and
Whereas, such wholesale change of text-books is contrary to a wise and safe public policy, and more particularly at this time of economic distress it is emphatically opposed to the best interest to the people of Georgia;

246

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
First. That the State Board of Education be respectfully called upon to annul its action whereby this wholesale change of text-books was made, and to recall all contracts with publishers pertaining to such change.
Second. That the State Board of Education be requested to hold another adoption of text-books under the terms of the present text-book law, but at a date between March 1st and July 1st, 1933.
Third. That at such adoption the State Board of Education shall act within the following general limitations, to-wit:
(a) To the end that the changes of text-books may be. reduced to the minimum and the least possible hardship be worked upon the patrons of the Georgia schools, and no text-books or series of text-books now on the official list and in use in this State shall be changed where such text-book or series of text-books are giving reasonable satisfaction; provided furthe.r, that the publishers of such book or books submit a material reduction in price, in line with the reduced cost of production.
(b) Under no circumstances shall the text-books or more than 30% of the subjects and/or books be changed unless it be evident to the State Board of Education that a material saving can be effected by the change of a larger percentage of books, due consideration being given to the added cost of change as well as to the bid price.

The following communciation was received from his Excellency, Governor Eugene Talmadge, through Mr. Linder, the Secretary of the Executive Department, and read:

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Members of the General Assembly of Georgia:
I know that you realize that this session of the Legislature is facing the gravest financial and economical crisis that has ever been faced by any Legislature, at least since the adoption of our present Constitution.

256

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

Indeed, a parallel of conditions today can hardly be found. \Ve have had financial panics in the past, but the reserve wealth and resources of the people were never before exhausted as they are today.
I realize that you, who constitute the Legislative branch of our government, are directly responsible to the people and the burden is on you to enact such legislation as will enable the executive branch of the government to carry out the mandates of the people when you have adjourned and gone home.
Campaign promises and pledges are sacred, and every official who comes in office should give his first consideration to carrying out the promises made to the people of the State.
There is dire need and suffering among the people of our State. Their homes, furniture and other property are being sold under tax fi. fas. and mortgages.
One of the quickest possible remedies from a part of these taxes, which would be enjoyed by people generally of the whole State, is the reduction of the cost of automobile tags. This was one of the principal issues advocated by me in my campaign before the people of the State last summer and bears the endorsement of the people. They expect to buy their tags this year for $3.00, and you can give this to them in a few days. This will allow a poor farmer to drive a $12.00 car without having to pay $11.25 for a tag. The reduction of the automobile tag to $3.00 would leave with our people over three million dollars to supply their needs, to buy gasoline, to help buy school books, to buy clothing and other absolute necessities of life. I do not know of anything that would help the people of Georgia more and help business more than to put three million dollars in the pockets of the people of the State.
It has been the policy of the Revenue Department to ex-

FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933.

257

tend the time for buying tags each year until the first of March. If you will give us this $3.00 tag this emergency will be met and the automobile owners can get their tags at the reduced price before many days have passed.

There is another emergency I wish to call to your attention. The county officers of this State are in trouble about their guaranty bonds; Treasurer's bonds, Tax Collector's bonds, County School Superintendent's bonds, and other bonds that they are required to give by statute. This trouble arose because of the failure of so many banks over the State. \Vhen the banks failed with county funds in them the officials and their bondsmen were held responsible for this money.
\Ve had a meeting of county officers recently at the Capitol. This meeting was attended by many of the county officers and members of the General Assembly, and a committee was appointed at that time to draft legislation to definitely define and limit the liability of officer's bonds. This is another matter of especial importance. I think if a county designates a bank as a depository and if the State designates a bank as a depository and the county officials keep their money in such bank and it fails that the county officials should not be held accountable for that money.
Under the present law the Ordinary of a county can declare the office void if an official has not given bond by the 1Oth of January. I think pending legislation will defer action of the Ordinaries and give the General Assembly of the State time to act in this emergency. Teeth should be put into the law that will force invisible wealth to pay its fair part of the cost of government, and in this way the tax rate on both tangible and intangible property can be lowered. The present high rate of the combined State, county, municipal and local school district ad valorem taxes is confiscatory and is resulting in the loss of thousands of homes in the State. In order for this to be effective for the year

258

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

1933, it is necessary that you enact legislation as quickly as possible. This is another reason for my request that you remain in regular session at this time. I think in such an emergency the Legislature should pass legislation this spring that will help the taxpayers and not wait until August or September, when it will not protect the taxpayers for the year 1933.
My countrymen, there is another emergency in this State that needs attention before the winter is over. Ad valorem taxes in a great many instances are not being paid, and in a great many instances the county officers whose duty it is to sell the property for taxes are not doing it. Why are they not doing it? Because they know that they can not sell it, and if the county bids it in they will have the property on their hands and will be out the advertising fees. This is a wise business precaution they are exercising.
Due to the non-payment of taxes our schools are in danger, especially is this true in our rural schools. A great many of them are faced with the problem of shortening their terms and closing their doors. We all know that there is scrip in the hands of the teachers in some parts of Georgia where the teachers have been doing their work and have not received their pay.
The first duty of the State, as I see it, after protecting a man in making an honest living, is to provide for our schools and give our children the opportunity of a "common school education in the elementary branches of the English lauguage." \Vatch our common schools and protect them.
During the war when the price of cotton was forty cents a pound, and they paid $3.00 for a bushel of corn meal and everything else was high, the cost of government increased, salaries were raised, bureaus and boards were enlarged to give the people jobs because we had plenty of money and taxes were easily paid.

FRIDAY, }ANUARY 13, 1933.

259

We must cut the cost of our government. The only way I know to do it is to abolish every department that we can do without. After you do this, start with the Governor and cut his salary, and follow this all the way down the line.
The people of Georgia unqualifiedly and almost unanimously demand substantial reductions in the cost of government. I recommend that you give close study to determine what activities of the State government can be discontinued entirely, or continued on a smaller scale. I also wish to call your attention to the State's unfulfilled obligations to her Confederate pensioners. From what I hear, they are very much in need of their pensions and this General Assembly should pass a measure providing for the payment of these past due obligations promptly. Lee surrendered at Appomatox in April, 1865, nearly 68 years ago. You will see from this that even the boys who fought in the Confederate Army at fourteen years of age would be 82 years old now. There are very few surviving Confederate veterans.
I recommend the enactment of legislation, if possible, that will insure the prompt payment of these pensiOns m future.
I also want to call your attention to the fact that in our State government there are positions of a subordinate nature where the subordinates working under elective heads have terms extending over and beyond the terms of the elective heads of the departments. This should be corrected. No commission of a subordinate should extend beyond that of the elective head of the department appointing him. The head of any department should be given the right to dismiss a subordinate employee of his particular department for cause.
I wish to call your attention to the agitation for a general sales tax. Recently the State of Mississippi placed on a

260

JocRNAL OF THE HousE,

2 per cent sales tax with a $1,200 exemption. I am also informed that they have not reduced the ad valorem taxes in Mississippi, but the sales tax comes as an additional tax. Any sales tax should be approached with extreme caution, as it taxes the bare necessities of life-the coffin, the plow point, the widow's bonnet and the corn meal of hungry children, are not exempt from the general sales tax.
The present State deficit, as of December 31, 1932 (and all figures used are as of December 31, 1932), according to the State Auditor, is $7,575,231.87 on a cash basis.
It is important to note that the actual collection of ad valorem taxes by the State decreased in round figures one million dollars from 1931 to 1932.
There is due to the common schools on the BarrettRogers fund $932,500.00, and under the general appropriation to the common schools $2,189,817 .28.
There are unpaid pensions to Confederate veterans and their widows, on years prior to 1932, the sum of $659,520.00. There is also due these pensioners the December, 1932, check. There is $99,000.00 available to pay the December pensions, and there is also available $63,000.00 to pay on the indebtedness to these Confederate pensioners prior to 1932.
The State is due our charitable institutions for maintenance for 1932 $663,190.55, and for buildings $547,164.15.
The State is due the University system $1,232,018.28.
The total amount of money expended by the State for all purposes in 1932, was around $30,000,000.00. This is too much. The entire cotton crop of the State for the same year, at the prevailing price, was around $23,000,000.00. In other words, the expense of our State government last year was $7,000,000.00 more than our entire

FRIDAY, jANUARY 13, 1933.

261

cotton crop in Georgia for that year at prevailing prices. Appropriations made in prior years which have not been expended, and against which no contracts have been made, are not a legal debt nor a moral obligation. And I recommend that all unpaid appropriations of prior years, against which no contracts are outstanding, be cancelled.
During the year 1931 the State Highway Department expended $20,776,450.90. During the year 1932 the State Highway Department expended $15,477,367.97.
The outstanding indebtedness of the Highway Department on December 31, 1932, was $10,961,000.00. Of this amount $9,000,000.00 was for contracts let in advance.
A partial audit of the State Highway books shows that they have anticipated their revenue until June 30, 1933. Of course this anticipation of revenue can only be speculative.
I am of the opinion that the anticipated revenue by the officials of the Highway Department has been overestimated. To anticipate revenue and make contracts from six to twelve months before the money is in the Treasury is bad practice and should be discontinued. In fact, it is a violation of the budget law that was passed by this body at the extra session of 1931. My interpretation of this law is that no department can act without first submitting its proposed expenses to the Budget Commission and this cannot be approved for amounts in excess of their income for 90 days. This is a guarantee that the department will have cash on hand to pay for the contract when it is completed.
The people of the State expect as nearly 100 cents out of a dollar of highway money as possible to go into road construction and road maintenance.
I respectfully recommend that serious attention be given to the laws controlling the Highway Department, which

262

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

branch of our government expends over half of the revenue of the State.
The members of the Highway Board are appointed for terms of six years and the people of the State have no direct control over them. The Governor must be elected by the people every two years and is directly accountable to them. Under our law it is the duty of the Chief Executive to see that all laws of the State are carried out.
I recommend the enactment of clear provisions of law giving the Governor the authority to put a stop to the extravagance and waste of the State's money in any and all departments and to see that the State's money is expended in accordance with the wishes of the Legislature.
Another thing I wish to call to your attention, and I am sorry that our General Assembly cannot control this. To my mind the gravest danger which confronts us is the war-time freight rates and transportation rates in this country. In other words, the railroads are persisting in charging the war-time rates when everything else has gone down.
They are charging as high rate on a forty-cent bushel of meal as they charged when meal was $3.00 a bushel. They are charging as much for hauling a $35.00 mule as they charged for hauling a $300.00 mule. Exorbitant transportation rates stifle production. Exorbitant transportation rates in the long run will put the railroads out of business if this is not corrected.
During my term of office as Governor of Georgia I pledge the people of the Commonwealth my efforts, not only in Georgia, but in the Conventions of Governors of the whole United States, to have our Interstate Commerce Commission and our Public Service Commissions wake up to the fact that railroad rates must be proportionate to other things.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933.

263

With the building of paved highways there has developed in this State transportation by trucks and busses. We need legislation regulating the size and weight of busses and trucks that go over our public highways. This is needed for a two-fold purpose-to protect the roadbed and to protect the safety of travelers on the highway.
It has been called to my attention that the State Board of Education has held the adoption of text-books and has ' entered into contracts for new text-books that will make it necessary to discard nearly all of the books now being used in the elementary schools of the State and will force patmns of the schools to purchase new books almost entirely.
I think this is very unwise, considering the present financial distress of the people.
I understand there is a resolution concerning this before
you. It is useless for me to dwell at length upon the con-
dition of this State at this time. I am sure you members of the General Assembly, fresh from the country, have left behind you women and children, barefooted, ragged, ashamed to go to church and ashamed to go to school. Farms are being offered for sale with no bidders. Honest, God-fearing white people are walking the roads looking for jobs and finding none. There are ever-increasing bread lines in our cities.
We need patriotism today as much as we did in the days of the sixties or in the Revolutionary War.
In every crisis that has confronted the people of this State in the past we have risen to the emergency.
The people have placed upon you and me the grave responsibility at this time to save the Ship of State from foundering in the storm.
While men who think are prone to differ in their ideas, I am sure that calm deliberation on the problems we face

264

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

will result in an agreement on the vital questions and the course to be pursued.
In the interest of the State I am willing to make every sacrifice necessary and I know that you are actuated by the same spirit.
In these unusual times it is impossible to be guided by principles of conservatism to the extent that it is wise to be under normal conditions. Let us face conditions as they are and look for the truth as to the remedy. \Ve cannot then go far wrong because "Truth cuts through the clouds, shines like the sun and, like the sun, it cannot be hid."
Respectfully submitted,
EuGE~E TALMADGE,
Governor of Georgia.

Mr. President:
Mr. Speaker:
The undersigned having been appointed to represent the Senate and the House of Representatives at the First Interstate Legislators Assembly held in \Vashington, D. C., on the 3rd and 4th days of February, 1933, respectfully submit the following report:
The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the lack of coordination between the taxing systems of the states and that of the Federal Government, and to consider

690

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the advisability of establishing a standing committee of legislators to study the problem of conflicting taxation, and after established to negotiate with the appropriate Congressional committees, with a view to arriving at a solution of the problem.
In this connection the \Vays and Means Committee of the National House of Representatives has had a sub-committee working on the question of double taxation and this sub-committee headed by Congresman Vinson of Kentucky has made an elaborate report to the Ways and Means Committee of theNational House, and this report was submitted to the Conference for consideration and information.
The Conference met at 9:30 o'clock on the 3rd of Feb. ruary and remained in session continuously until ten o'clock that night and reconvened again at ten o'clock on the 4th of
February and did not adjourn until nearly ten o'clock on the night of the 4th.
During this time the Conference had the pleasure of hearing the President of the United States discuss the subject matter in person and to hear a message read from Presidentelect Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Among the tax authorities addressing the Conference was the Hon. Clyde L. King, former Secretary of Revenue and Finance of Pennsylvania, Hon. Henry F. Long, Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation of Massachusetts, Prof. Robert Murray, Head of Columbia University, Hon. Franklin S. Edmunds, former Chairman of the Tax Commission of Pennsylvania, Hon. Mark Graves, Budget Commissioner of New York State and the Hon Seabury C. Mastick, Presiding Chairman of theN ew York Commission on the revision of state tax laws.
Three different methods of relieving the situation were discussed at the conference, to-wit:
( 1) The possibility of segregating certain sources of

Tt:ESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

691

revenue for the exclusive uses of the Federal Government and other sources for the exclusive use of the State Governments.
( 2) The possibility of extending to state fields the crediting device now used by the Federal Government in connection with inheritance and state taxes.
( 3) The possibility of having certain taxes collected by the Federal Government and a share of the proceeds paid to the states.
For instance, it was urged by some that the states be prohibited from levying taxes on the sale of cigarettes and that the Federal Government allocate one cent per package of the six cents now levied on cigarettes to the different states and thereby there would be a uniform tax on cigarettes throughout the United States and that the states would receive by this method as much money on an average from the sale of cigarettes as they are receiving at the present
time. It was proposed that the allocation be made on a basis
of population and facts were submitted showing that under this system Georgia would receive approximately the same amount of revenue as she does at the present time from the tax on cigars and cigarettes.
It was finally decided by the conference that this first conference should take on definite action so far as the adoption of a policy on the subject was concerned for the reason that it would be impossible within a period of only two days to reach an intelligent ~nclusion and that the varying conditions in the forty-eight states would have to be taken into consideration and an effort made to harmonize the different systems of taxation so that as near as possible a uniform system might be adopted in all the states to prevent overlapping and duplication.
It seemed to be the sentiment of the delegates assembled that as the Federal, state and local governments were extracting from the pockets of the people nine and one-half

692

JoURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

billion dollars annually for taxes and that this amount equalled almost one-fourth of the entire gross income of the people of the nation and that a slashing reduction in taxes levied was necessary in order to prevent the confiscation of property and invested capital and that after the reduction in the amount of taxes now levied, that there should be a general revamping of the tax laws in the states so as to relieve real estate from the burden of taxes.
During the discussions touching on the various problems there were two papers delivered by speakers which your representatives consider of material value and of considerable interest to the General Assembly of Georgia. The line of thought and the discussion of the problems as expressed in the two papers by Messrs. King and Edmonds of Pennsylvania, as condensed, apparently covered the field which the conference had been called to consider. The recognized problms along with some sugested reforms as contained in those two papers give a fairly good picture of the common thought of those who had assembled to attempt to solve problems recognized as being an emergency throughout the entire country. It is no intention on the part of your representatives to approve, disapprove, criticize or confirm the contents of the two papers which were introduced into the discussion by the above mentioned speakers, but on the other hand it is our earnest desire to place before the General Assembly of Georgia a fair, unbiased and unprejudiced estimate of such information as was gained as a result of this conference. In order that the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia might have a~ opportunity to observe and
consider these matters we are attaching to and making a part of this report copies of these two papers and have marked them as follows, to-wit:
Exhibit (A). The lack of coordination between the taxing systems of the states and that of the Federal Government. By Hon. Clyde L. King, former Secretary of Revenue and Finance of Pennsylvania.

TuESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

693

Exhibit (B). The possibility of extending to other fields the crediting device now used by the Federal Government in connection with inheritance taxes. By Hon. Franklin S. Edmonds, former Chairman of the Pennsylvania State Tax Commission.

The conference authorized the Chairman to appoint a committee numbering from ten to fifteen to study the question and submit to the delegates from the various states their findings. This committee was instructed when twothirds of them agree upon a plan, to submit the plan to the delegates from the states and when the delegates from a majority of the states agree to the plan, to treat with Congress and see if a definite agreement can be reached as to the policy of the Federal Government.
Unfortunately the question of financing the work of this committee necessarily came into consideration and the conference by resolution requested each state to make an appropriation in an amount not less than One Thousand Dollars to finance the work for the next two years, and to provide expenses for at least one delegate from the Senate and one from the House to attend a future Assembly of the delegates from the various states.
The American Legislators Association has conducted an extensive research concerning the problem of duplication and double taxation over a period of several months and they were able to furnish the delegates to the First Interstate Legislators Assembly valuable information. This research has been financed by contributions made to the American Legislators Association by the Rosenwald Fund, the Spellman Foundation, and individuals interested in eliminating duplication, overlapping and double taxation. The movement in the future can be financed by corporations and individuals who are interested in the problems. It was the opinion of the delegates to the First Interstate Legislators Assembly that this movement should be financed from

694

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

sources disinterested in the levying of taxation. The only method or manner of financing the research and the efforts of the committee to be named which would be disinterested is by appropriations from the various states. Therefore, the resolution was adopted providing for this method of financing the committee and its activities.
It is our opinion that this movement has such force behind it that it will be able to materially influence legislation in Congress. The State of Georgia is vitally concerned in this question because the policy eventually adopted may affect the revenues of this state and its system of taxation.
Therefore, we recommend that the State of Georgia, through the General Assembly and the Governor, cooperate in this movement in order to see that the interest of the State of Georgia is properly protected.
Respectfully submitted,

On the part of the Senate.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

695

States taken as a whole places a dual burden on many taxpayers. In all too many instances this double taxation means in effect confiscation and capital levies.
This situation, like Topsy, "just grew." It is not the result of purposeful planning by anybody. On the contrary it is the result of the purposeless planning of everybody. Such an irrational situation as now exists can be rationally understood only as we review it in its historical development. For it has come about with the best of intentions and for the most laudable purposes.
The romance of American history is the building of homes for one hundred million people in one hundred years. This enormous increase in population was thrown upon a cultural background of a more leisurely life. Opportunities multiplied even faster than the population. Each generation of parents planned for a better life for their children and the children soon outstripped the fondest hopes of Pop and Mom. These hopes brought demands on the public treasury.
First of all we had to educate more children than ever before. School houses filled the land. The three R's gave a reasonable equipment for making a living on a farm one hundred years ago. But longer and more intensive schooling was soon needed to equip youth to respond quickly and ably to the ever more complex means of maki!1g a living. So school terms were lengthened and school years greatly increased. Even at that our schools can hardly equip youth adequately to meet modern conditions; it has all too little time left to give them an education.
For a century now our school buildings have never kept up with the growing needs. Taxpayers voted bonds and more bonds; assessed values of properties were increased; new taxes were imposed; the tax burden grew at a rate exceeding even the speed of modern life.
Folks can now chuck into life a thousand commgs and

696

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

goings to one of the days of their fathers. The only time we are sitting down is when we are going somewhere. To get to market, to get to school, to get to church, to get somewhere, to get everywhere, roads were needed and are needed. So we reached in our pockets for taxes to build more and better roads. That cost money.
This same century that peopled the earth with children as never before and then trebled the length of their lives had two contrasting characteristics; a growing sympathy for the needy and helpless; and mounting expenditures for wars.
This sympathy for the helpless and the needy brought a demand for the complete education of the deaf, the dumb and the blind; for the proper segregation and care of the feeble-minded; for better care of the insane; even for better prisons. Along came compensation insurance and mothers' pensions and the great web of legislation to prevent accidents and to make the way easier for all unfortunates. This cost money. The taxpayers paid, believing.
But the greatest single tax burden came from the wars. In this country since the Civil \Var from sixty-five to ninetyfive cents out of every tax dollar paid to Uncle Sam has gone for wars past, present and future. Right now about eight-five cents out of every Federal dollar goes for pensions, for bonus, for interest on the war debts and for preparations for war. And still the end of the war cost is not in sight. The taxpayer pays.
vVar costs, welfare costs, road costs, and school costs together take over nine dollars out of ten of the total tax burden.
On top of all this comes this depression in which more people have to be fed the world over at taxpayers' expense than ever before and more people need and demand public work than ever known before. All at taxpayers' expense.
In face of these extra burdens it becomes more difficult

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

697

and expensive to collect taxes th,an ever before and real taxpaying ability all but ceases to be. Hence the tax problem has become our greatest problem.

To support the earlier demands from the public treasury for roads and schools and welfare institutions taxes came from the only place from which taxes could come at that time and that was from the owners of tangible properties, especially homes and farms.
Then from about the Civil \Var period on there came a tremendous development in wealth represented by intangible properties, particularly in the ownership of stocks and bonds.
For half a century the legislators of every state in the lJnion struggled with the practical problem of taxing this new wealth and relieving the owners of visible properties from an unfair burden of taxation.
This problem was being worked out by the beginning of this century, each state in its own way. Long before the World \Var Pennsylvania, for instance, was supporting all of its state activities from taxes on corporations and inheritances in the main, leaving real estate as the chief means of income for local governments. As part of the general determination of State legislators everywhere to shift the burden of taxes from homes and farms to the newer wealth the states were beginning by the end of the last century to place taxes on inheritances, on incomes, on corporate businesses, and on selective sales taxes and other similar sources of income.
About the time the states were reaching the solution of their tax problems and getting on an equitable distribution of the tax burden as between homes and farms on the one hand and these newer sources of wealth on the other the World War came along and the Federal Government needed money in quantities theretofore undreamed of

698

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

To get this money the Federal Government entered into the very fields that the states had begun to occupy, notably the income taxes, corporation taxes, and the estate taxes, and also expanded its levies on selective sales taxes. Within the last year the Federal Government has put the final touches on double taxation by entering into the field of gasoline taxes theretofore left exclusively to the states. For gasoline taxes had theretofore been about the only single source to which the states had been able to turn to meet their new and increasing functions without duplicating taxes already levied by the Federal Government.
Before this entry of the Federal Government into the last possible source of revenue open to the states without double taxation a plan had been worked out to prevent double taxation on inheritances through the well-known eighty per cent provision of the Federal estate law which allowed the Federal estate taxpayer to claim credit to an amount not to exceed eighty per cent of the Federal estate taxes due if so much had been paid to any state on the same inheritance.
The Congress of 1932 in order to meet the difficult problems then before it increased the Federal estate taxes but did not extend the eighty per cent credit to those new rates so that those paying these new and heavier rates cannot claim credit on those additional levies for taxes paid to the states. Congress passed this legislation in the face of the fact that the estate tax levies were at that very time confiscatory in effect because the decline of values from date of death to time of payment of taxes had been so rapid that the full value of the estate in many instances, and practically all of it in other instances, had to be taken to pay the taxes when they became due. Since the enactment of that legislation values have continued to decline so that the practical result of the present dual estate tax is a levy on capital and that because the principle of preventing double taxation was not continued by Congress.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

We have assumed that levies on capital had been left to foreign countries but in practical effect our present double inheritance tax schemes do just that. For it must be remembered that from time of the enactment of, first, the twenty-five and then the eighty per cent provision in the Federal estate law, up to the time of the enactment of the additional estate levies by Congress in 1932 the states had readjusted their legislation with the view of taking advantage of the eighty per cent clause, in some instances increasing their levies, in some instances decreasing them, but in any case preventing double taxation to the extent of eighty per cent.
The advantage gained especially by estates coming under the Federal estate tax law by state reciprocity legislation looking toward preventing double taxes among the several states, strengthened by Supreme Court decisions which practically ended duplication of taxes on inheritances, all were in effect largely lost by the new and heavy rates of the Act of 1932 and by violation of the principle of non-duplication through the failure of Congress to include the eighty per cent clause in these new rates.
It is essential to the best of American traditions that
taxes should be on income and not on capital. When taxes take more than the annual income certainly year after year they become in fact levies on capital and are not taxes on earning power. They thus threaten the very ability of our people to produce goods and to increase comforts through the extension of capital.
It seems to me that there are really three problems at stake in this matter; First, is that of double taxation which this Conference is called to discuss. The second is the fact, however much we want to gloss it over, that our currency system is now in effect a confiscatory system in itself. Any system of currency that gives us too much currency in times of high speculation when we do not need it and does not give us enough to perform the ordinary processes of in-

dustry at a time when we urgently need it is too stupid a plan to justify continuance.
The truth of the business is that the United States has with the \:Vorld War entered into a new era as a surplus producing nation. \Ve have long exported a surplus of about twenty per cent of our agricultural products. But under the industrial expansion given by war activities we became a surplus country in manufactured products as well. Our currency system has not been adapted to this new era.
The third problem that is really before us in this tax matter is that of reducing expenditures and securing every possible economy. This should have the serious attention of everyone.
But the additional burdens placed upon the National Government and upon the states through relief due to unemployment is absorbing more than the nation, the states and the localities can possibly save by reduction of expenditures. \Ve have reached the place as to relief where we must face the solemn fact that there is not enough taxpaying ability in the country to continue to carry on the burden of relief as it now is and as it must grow to be as people more and more exhaust their savings and their resources.
We must face the fact that the relief problem cannot be met merely by taxes but must be met at the heart by setting the wheels of industry in motion. I have never believed that because this has not been done it can't be done, and our attention in my judgment should never be distracted from the fact that the one single problem of first importance is that of making relief with its heavy tax burden unnecessary.
While it is not the business of this particular conference to suggest remedies for preventing great industrial disasters, we certainly must go about our work with the understanding that any tax system however perfect must become confiscatory when we have a currency that inflates and de-

flates with as little rational reason as we have experienced in the past war period. We can set up a perfect system of taxes that under times of prosperity will bear but lightly upon those who pay and then that same tax system will become confiscatory with a disastrous downward shift of price levels. Such stupidity as this the present generation does not have to abide in my judgment.
Laying that problem aside as one not before this conference but one that must have the serious concern of every legislator who levies taxes and of every tax-gatherer who collects them, we must turn now to the important and difficult task of so planning local, state and national taxes that there shall not be double and treble burdens placed upon any single class of taxpayers.
In the planning of this work it seems to me that: as the starting point, we keep before us the fact that this is and should be a nation of homes. If we are going to keep this nation of homes, we must take a greater share of the tax burdens from homes and farms and place it elsewhere. In the process of the placing of this tax burden where there is greater ability to pay we have come into this present difficulty where the states must either duplicate the Federal taxes with all the evil consequences following therefrom or must continue to place upon the farms and homes of this country an unfair share of the tax burden.
Despite the fact that the National Government secures none of its income from the general properties tax and despite the fact that many states secure little, and some none of their state income from the general property tax. Yet these taxes on general property bear over half (53.5%) of the total tax burden of the country at this time.
In the attempt to escape this condition, the Federal Government and the states are now levying double burdens on income taxes, on inheritance taxes, on corporation taxes, on selective sales taxes such as tobacco taxes, on occupational

702

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

taxes and now there is a serious proposal that the Federal Government should enter heavily into the sole source of revenue left to the states of any consequence without duplication and that is the general sales tax.
This conference has before it the solemn duty of su~ gesting methods that will restore the tax resources of the states other than the general property tax while preserving to the Federal Government sources of revenue adequate to its needs without doubly burdening the taxpayers.

Theoretically considered, government is a unity and represents the organized power of the community for the purpose of fulfilling social and political ends which can better be accomplished by all of the people acting as a unit rather than by each individual for himself. Legally considered, government in the United States is a duality consisting of a federal government governed by a constitu-

TuESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

703

tion, and forty-eight state governments, each of which is also governed by a constitution but with inherent powers of sovereignty. From the standpoint of taxation, government is a trinity, consisting of a federal government, state governments and local governments which have been duly constituted by the State governments, and entrusted with certain taxing powers.
This conference has been called for the purpose of considering the inter-relations of the Federal and State governments with reference to serious fiscal problems .which confront the American people.
However distinct may be the Federal and State governments, yet historically the Federal government has sometimes taken cognizance of the fiscal condition of the States by effective legislation. The first Congress of the United States provided for the assumption by the Federal government of certain debts of the States, aggregating $21,000,000, and as Hamilton and Jefferson both participated in the conference which secured the votes, this proposition may fairly be regarded as constitutional and free from partisan bias.
In 1836 Congress provided for the quarterly distribution of the surplus in the Federal Treasury over and above $5,000,000 to the States, and in the next year, three such payments, aggregating $28,000,000, were made from the Federal Treasury. to the States. Those whose logic is confined to the simple principle that if one event succeeds another, the first must be n-garded as the cause and the second the effect, will doubtless comment upon this distribution of the surplus as a cause of the panic of 1837. In Pennsylvania, however, the money thus obtained was used for building public schools, and the share which Philadelphia received was used to build and equip the Central High School of Philadelphia-the oldest high school in the United States outside of New England-and from this expenditure, at least, there have been no sad results.

704

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

A third illustration of Federal legislation affecting the finances of the States was enacted in 1924, by providing for a deduction from the amount of the Federal estate tax for
State death taxes lawfully imposed and paid up to 25%
of the Federal tax. This interesting idea was proposed in the House of Representatives by Representative Freer of \Visconsin, and was accepted with little opposition. It was followed two years later by raising the percentage for the deduction to 80%, and even in the recent tax legislation of 1932, this deduction from the normal tax was preserved to the States.
It is now appropriate to consider the effects of this pro-
VISIOn.
(a) Its effect upon the income of the States.
It is interesting to note that in the States of California, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, there was collected in death duties in the year before the Federal credit was accepted, a total of $50,046,050, and from the same source in the year after the Federal credit was accepted, a total of $79,459,619, thus indicating an increase of approximately 60% in the revenue of the States from this source, as a result of a credit which diverted money from the Federal Treasury, but did not lead to any increase in burden upon the estate. In "DOUBLE TAXATION?" the valuable report of the Vinson Sub-Committee, it is stated that in 1915 the States collected from death duties $28,784,000. In 1924 when the credit provision of the Federal law was first enacted it had grown to over $80,000,000. In 1930, with the 80% credit provision fully operative, State receipts from death duties amounted to a total of $180,794,000.
(b) \Vhat has been the effect of this provision upon the administration of estates?
Speaking as an attorney in active practice in this field. I

705

am bound to state that in my judgment the credit provision has promoted uniformity in dealing with the practical problems of administration. In some of the States where there are personal assets which are difficult to appraise, the States accept the Federal appraisement; and the Federal government accepts the States' appraisement of property. In many cases where the assets relate to securities of corporations whose main place of business is not in the State of the decedent's domicile, it has been advantageous to the State to have the assistance of the report of the Federal government upon these assets. Taken in connection with the movement for reciprocity in the taxation of intangible personal property of non-resident decedents, and the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, it has resulted in less cost and more certainty in administration, and to that extent its results have been good, not only for the States, but also for the taxpayer. Any readjustment of taxing laws which results in a reduction of the taxpayer's expenditure to ascertain and verify his tax liability is equivalent to a reduction in the rate of the tax.
(c) \Vhat has been the effect of the rebate provision upon the fiscal integrity of the States?

Originally, 1 was opposed to the Federal estate tax, and in 1927 I argued before the \ays and Means Committee against the tax, and also against the rebate feature on the ground that it was an unconstitutional interference by the Federal government with the sovereignty of the States. Since this hearing the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the State of Florida vs. Mellon would seem to settle the constitutional provision, and I am also bound to state that after observing carefully the effects of the rebate, I conclude that the original criticisms have not been justified.
Several of the States have not accepted the 80% provision by increasing their tax rates accordingly. These

706

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

States obviously have not been harmed, except by a loss of possible revenue. In my own State, Pennsylvania, in one year the inheritance tax became the major source of State revenue for the general fund, and there has been no coercive influence from the Federal government looking toward the expenditure of the money. To my mind appropriations on the fifty-fifty basis whereby the Federal government appropriates money to the State, provided the State engages in a particular program, and devotes also its own funds to this purpose, are far more objectionable than funds which are diverted from the Federal Treasury to the State Treasury in recognition of the fact that the funds are secured in such a manner as to impress them with both a Federal and State interest.
(d) Does this device result in subordinating the States to the Federal government?
Several of the leaders in taxation through the country have been seriously concerned over the idea that the extension of this device would result in subordinating the State fiscal machinery to the Federal fiscal machinery by enabling Congress at its whim to take away funds from which the State had excepted revenue. \Vhile none of us may be enthusiastic over all of the workings of representative government during the last few years, it is noteworthy that even under the financial pressure of 1932, Congress, in its revenue act, reserved sacredly to the States that which had been given to them for the previous six years. It is not probable that such an emergency will soon make its appearance, and therefore I have the feeling that this fear has been overaccented.
The question then arises as to whether this device is capable of extension to other forms of State taxation than estate taxes. We are bound to recognize that there are certain taxes which, by their nature, can be administered by the Federal government mor~ economically and efficiently than the State governments, and yet in some cases they

TuESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

707

are taxes which, like the estate tax, had previously been reserved to the States. Attention should be directed to the chaos which surrounds the taxation of interstate business.
A recent study by the National Tax Association of four large corporations engaged in interstate business indicated for 1929 results as follows:
"A" corporation is engaged in business in thirty-five States. It pays a total of 198 taxes, or an average of six per State. In thirty-three different forms, running from one tax to thirteen taxes per State.
"B" corporation is engaged in business in twenty-seven States and is obliged to prepare and file sixty different reports, each with peculiar characteristics, the number being required by the various States running from one report to five per year.
"C" corporation is engaged in business in thirty-six jurisdictions and finds itself to 108 taxes of eighteen varieties, the least popular being imposed by one State, and the most popular by twenty-four States.
"D" corporation, which is a manufacturing corporation, has twelve plants in the United States and Canada, and finds that its 1928 taxes varied from 0.47 to 2.84 at each plant in the ratio of the amount of taxes to the book value of taxable property, and from 0.4 5 to 2.13 in the ratio of total taxes to the output of each plant.
The above computations relate simply to taxes and charges imposed by the State, and property taxes imposed by the local government, and does not include a wide variety of local license fees and other charges which have been imposed by some local governments. To the tax liability, and the sum represents the total subtraction from the taxpayer in order to meet the cost of government.
This situation presents a challenge to the economic sense of the American people. Upon the one side we find a group

708

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

of taxpayers who claim to be willing to pay equitable taxes and whose prosperity is fundamental in American life. They are asking not necessarily for relief as to the amount of taxation, so much as relief in the variety of taxation. They admit the necessities of the State, but they challenge the policy of the State in plaguing them with a series of inflictions which are comparable in number and bitterness to the plagues sent upon Egypt.
During the recent economic depression a new difficulty has developed, namely, that if one jurisdiction develops what seems like a productive tax, the other jurisdiction at once invades the field, and the joint pressure of the two jurisdictions may result in injustice, inequity and eventually the elimination of the revenue desired.
Tobacco and gasoline are two illustrations of this tendency. Tobacco has been taxed by the Federal government for more than one hundred years, and has become from simplicity and ease in collection one of the most important taxes in the Federal scheme. Recently, the States have been attracted to the same field, and there are now fourteen States which have imposed taxes in addition to the Federal tax on tobacco products.
Gasoline, which was hst taxed in Oregon in 1919, was originally regarded as a State tax, and it has developed to such a degree that in 1932 approximately $550,000,000 was raised, with taxes at varying rates from two to seven cents. Then in 1932 the Federal government entered the field. Obviously, two independent jurisdictions taxing the same product on different bases and by different principles may justify their actions as constitutional. But they cannot obtain any support on an appeal to common sense.
It is noteworthy that with both of these products overtaxation has resulted in diminished consumption. The gasoline consumption in the United States for the first six months of 1932 as compared with the first six months of

Tl~ESDAY, FEBRUt\RY 7, 1933.

709

1931 indicated that in the States where the rate was two cents, there was a 6.7 7c increase. \Vhere the rate was three cents, there was a decrease of 1.3%, and the decrease continued with a higher rate of tax until, in the States that had a seven cents tax, the decrease was 13.3 '7c.
Pennsylvania obtained more revenue from gasoline in 1931 from a lower rate than it did in 1930 with a higher rate. The law of diminishing returns applies in taxation as in other fields of economic endeavor, and it is poor policy for any community "to kill the goose which lays the golden egg."
Nate some of the difficulties attendant upon the higher rate gasoline taxes. Bootlegging or the sale of untaxed gasoline increases with the higher rate, and the states are obliged to adopt expensive machinery in order to check this
abuse. There are between 250 and 27 5 refineries of gaso-
line in the United States, operating approximately twice as many plants. The Bureau of Census in June, 1932, estimated that there were 318,000 retailers of gasoline. A Federal tax on gasoline would bear on the refiners who are easy of observation. A State tax on gasoline in most states must bear upon the retailers of whom there are thousands. The one tax is easy to enforce and collect. The other tax is extremely difficult.
It has been estimated that a uniform four cent tax on gasoline of which three cents would be returned to the states, would give practically as much revenue to the states and Federal government as they are procuring at present with a tremendous decline in the costs and annoyance of collection.
The recent report of the Oil Conservation Board directed attention to the fact that the evasion of the State taxes on gasoline would result in requiring Federal supervision and collection at the refinery. Said the report:

710

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

"This situation has put a premium on sales in violation of the ta:s:ing statutes. The quantity of such evasion depresses prices because the illegal seller of gasoline has hidden margin of profit against the dealer who obeys the law, and can thereby undersell him; the weighted average net tax evader in 1931 escaped a charge about equal to the cost at the well of the crude oil which furnished his gasoline."
\Vith reference to cigarettes, the situation is even more striking. Fourteen states, the latest of which is Louisiana, are levying cigarette taxes at a rate of from two to five cents per package on top of a Federal tax of six cents per package, making in a state imposing the tax of five cents, Arkansas, a total tax of eleven cents, as compared with the manufacturer's net price of 4.58 cents.
\Vhat has been the effect? State sales taxes on small commodities work a discrimination against the retailers of the State because it is so easy to have small commodities shipped in interstate commerce from surrounding states. It is interesting to note that in the United States the annual
per capita consumption of cigarettes in 1930 average 97 5,
whereas five states }Vhich in that year levied a tax solely on cigarettes, collected taxes on 431 cigarettes per capita. The Federal government has now had its revenues seriously affected bv this situation, and Representative Daughton of North Carolina has introduced in the House of Representatives Joint Resolution No. 546, which recites that several of the states have levied taxes on cigarettes which impaired the sales of cigarettes and have contributed to a reduction in the revenue of the Federal government. In other words, the law of diminishing returns has commenced to operate, and now the Federal government which has contributed by its gasoline tax to a decline in the revenue of the states, finds itself in a similar position with reference to cigarettes.
Representative Daughton has proposed in his resolution that one cent of the six cents collected by the Federal gov-

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933.

711

ernment be returned to the states according to their population, as shown by the last preceding decennial census, provided the states will not impose any excise, occupational tax or fee on the manufacture or sale of cigarettes during such period. It is interesting to note that if this resolution were adopted on the basis of the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1932, there would be $66,429,770 returned to the states, and in practically every state imposing a tax on cigarettes, except possibly Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, there would be a larger distribution than under the separate State tax, without any of the expense of collection. Moreover, the Federal tax requires supervision of the manufacturers, who are few in number, while the State tax requires supervision of the retailer, of whom there are posssibly one million. The difference in cost of collection becomes evident.
As the Supreme Court has frequently stated, taxation is a practical matter. Its object is to raise revenue for government, and incidentally to raise that revenue by such methods as will not dislocate the machinery of business or the industrial development of the country. Any commodity which is freely transferred in interstate commerce can be taxed more readily by the Federal government at the place of manufacture than by the State government at t~e place of distribution. To my mind the question is not so much what are the Constitutional or legal rights of the parties as it is a practical question as to how best may the result be obtained.
The proper method to be pursued must be determined with reference to the nature of each tax. Sales taxes, in general, should be imposed and collected by the Federal government, either with an allocation of a portion of the revenue to the states divided upon the basis of sales, if such basis can readily be determined; or, if not, upon the basis of population.
Income taxes, whether personal or corporate, and estate

712

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

taxes, can best be dealt with by allowing a deduction of a certain percentage for State taxes actually imposed and paid.
Property taxes and licenses belong to the State and should be dealt with by the State exclusively.
Here, then, is a broad question filled with importance for the American people. \Ve must dissociate from it any attempt to work out a scheme of political aggrandizement for any particular collecting bureau. The country is tired of the increase in office-holders, and want a decrease. The people are insisting that where that decrease can be secured through having one of the branches of the government assume a duty for the others which, in the nature of things, it is better fitted to render, it shall be done.
The question then arises as to whether this plan is Constitutional.
In McCulloch vs The State of Maryland, 4 \Vheaton, page 421, it was stated by Chief Justice Marshall, as follows:
"\Ve admit, as all must admit, that the powers of the government are limited, and that its limits are not to be transcended. But we think the sound construction of the Constitution must allow to theN ational Legislature that discretion, with respect to the means bv which the powers it confers are to be carried into execution, which will enable that body to perform the high duties assigned to it, in the manner most beneficial to the people. Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited but consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are Constitutional."
This wholesome truth is broad enough to cover the Daughton resolution, if by so doing one of the most stable sources of revenue for the Federal government can be pro-

713

tected. It is the gasoline tax, and the answer which the Supreme Court has given in the estate tax would doubtless be given again if a deduction provision is inserted into the Federal income tax.
The following report was submitted by the members of the General Assembly who were appointed on the part of the House and Senate to attend the First Interstate Legis-
lators Assembly, held in Washington, D. C.:
All of these changes cannot take place until the Federal government has balanced its budget. But when this balancing has taken place, these changes should be considered and adopted, until they have given us a co-ordinated Federal and State taxing system which will eliminate absurdities, minimize injustice, standardize reports and returns, stabilize taxing rates, and provide for a larger revenue for State and local government, without increasing the heavy burden upon reality.
The issue is between co-ordination and chaos, and in that issue the duty of the legislator is plain.

JouRNAl. OF THE HousE,

Messrs. Clark of Catoosa County, and Hutcheson of the 43rd District, Chairmen of the Joint Committee on Western and Atlantic Railroad, submitted the following report:

Mr. Speaker, Mr. President:
JOINT REPORT OF THE
WEsTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD CoMMITTEE
OF THE SENATE AND HousE OF
REPRESENTATIVES 1933
Members of the respective committees made an inspection of the Western and Atlantic Railroad including the terminal properties in Atlanta and Chattanooga, February lOth and 11th, 1933. In view of certain conditions that have recently arisen, of which special mention will be made herein, the members carefully inspected the two hotels, property of the State of Georgia, in Chattanooga, that are leased to J. B. Pound.
The committee reports that it found the railroad in excellent physical condition. The engineer of the Public Service Commission, who accompanied the committee, pointed out the improvements the lessee has made from time to time, bringing the property up to the highest standard of operating efficiency, and it is its opinion, based on statements of the engineer, that the road is being fully maintained by the lessee in accordance with the requirements of the Lease Acts of 1915, and the contract executed May 11th, 1917.
Due to the great decline in its operating revenues the past three years in comparison with the period from 1920 to 1930, the expenditures for additions and betterments to the Western and Atlantic Railroad by the lessee, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway, have necessarily been smaller.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1933.

961

It is our information, however, that the total amount expended for additions and betterments for the period from the beginning of the new lease December 27, 1919, to December 31, 1932, is $2,628,102. Under the sixth section of the Lease Contract executed May 11, 1917, the lessee agreed to expend for this account not less than $60,000 a year for the fifty years the lease will run, a total of $3,000,000. It will be seen that in the thirteen years of the new lease the lessee has already expended 87% it agreed to spend spread over the entire fifty years. It is because of these large expenditures for improvements in past years that the general condition of the property is so good, and justifies the lessee in conserving its expenditures to this account, though it has continued to maintain the road to the highest degree of safety. It is proper to add that all of the above improvements to the road become the property of the State of Georgia as specified under Section 11 A, of the Lease Act approved November 30, 1915, and the contract between the State of Georgia, and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway dated May 11, 1917.
The committee has been fully informed by the Public Service Commission of the manner in which it dealt with
Mr. J. B. Pound in his failure to pay his monthly rentals
as provided in the contract between himself and the State of Georgia, whereby he leased the Eastern Hotel and Hotel Plaza (formerly Annex) property of the State in the City of Chattanooga. ':Vhile proper leniency was shown Mr. Pound by the Public Service Commission, he was made to understand that he must comply with the terms of the contract and make arrangements to meet the accumulated deficits which on November 1, 1932, had reached the sum of $7,155. It should be noted that the State holds United States Government bonds of the face value of $9,550, as security for one year's rental, but to have enforced the contract and evicted Mr. Pound would have put the State to the necessity of securing another lessee, and it is extremely doubtful if as satisfactory one or as good a contract could

962

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

be obtained in view of the present condition of the real estate market generally.
As additional security for the arrears in rentals Mr. Pound has executed to the State of Georgia a deed in fee simple for all his right, title and interest in and to all the furnishings, equipment, etc., in the Eastern and Plaza Hotels. A careful inventory of the said furnishings and equipment made by the Commission's engineer shows the value of the same at approximately $15,000. Governor Russell was kept advised of the situation from time to time and signified his approval of the Commission's actions, as well as signing the aforesaid deed. This document is recorde'd in the executive minutes and in the office of the Registrar of Hamilton County, Tennessee.

The committee is impressed with the excellent judgment exercised by the Public Service Commission in handling the Pound rental matter and it takes this occasion to express its full approval of its action. It furthermore appears to this committee that the Public Service Commission has fully and at all times fulfilled its responsibility in the supervision of the Western and Atlantic Railroad as set forth in the Act approved November 30, 1915, and a joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives approved August17,1920.

The committee has examined with interest a book entitled "Western and Atlantic Railroad of the State of Georgia," which is on file with the State Librarian. Under a joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives
approved August 25, 1925, the Public Service Commission
was instructed to have its engineer, J. Houstown Johnston, compile in one or more volumes all important facts and other data relating to the Western and Atlantic Railroad. It is the opinion of the committee that this book is a very valuable source of information upon all important matters connected with the State road.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933.

963,

The committee wishes to bring to the attention of all members of the General Assembly its conviction that in the Western and Atlantic Railroad the State possesses a great asset, its physical value at this time being conservatively estimated at $20,000,000. It is further of the opinion that it shall now and at all times be jealously guarded against encroachments of any sort that would impair its usefulness and thereby its value to the State.
On the inspection trip the train was halted a few moments at the larger stations between Atlanta and Chattanooga and the committee made an examination of the depots, particularly the freight rooms. In not one of these freight rooms was there freight either for shipment out or for local delivery of an amount that was worthy of notice. The respective agents stated that this was nothing unusual and that practically all of the business of the towns was being handled by trucks, instead of by the Western l!nd Atlantic Railroad as was formerly the case. The committee was more than ever forcibly impressed with the fact that great harm is being done to the State's property by the lack of proper regulation of buses and trucks moving over highways built by the State.
REPORT OF \\!ESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD COMMITTEE
OF THE HousE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE DEAL-
ING \\liTH THE QUESTION OF CONTRACT BETWEEN THE
J. STATE OF GEORGIA AND MR. B. POUND PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL SECURITY IN THE PAYMENT OF RENT FOR
CERTAIN PROPERTY IN CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.
This committee has been advised by the Georgia Public Service Commission of a certain contract entered into between the State of Georgia at the instance of said Com-
mission, and J. B. Pound, providing additional security of

~64

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

the payment of the rent due the State of Georgia under a contract leasing the Hotel Annex and Eastern Hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

For reasons amply justifying the Commission, they secured a contract under date of November 25, 1932, whereby the title to all furnishings, equipment, etc., then contained in the Hotel Annex and Eastern Hotel in Chattanooga, Tenn., conservatively estimated to be worth approximately $15,000.00, was conveyed to the State of Georgia. This contract was immediately recorded in the office of the Register of Hamilton County, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The terms of the contract, we find, have been very properly recorded in the minutes of the Georgia Public Service Commission, as well as in the executive minutes of the Governor's office.

vVe have carefully gone into all details in connection with the condition bringing about this contract and giving due consideration to present-day conditions as well as those obtaining for the past year, it is our best judgment that the Georgia Public Service Commission and Governor Richard B. Russell, Jr., are to be commended for the manner in which this matter was handled. It appears that Governor Russell was advised of every detail and the action of the Commission had his approval in each instance.
vVe acknowledge thanks to Mr. J. Houstoun Johnston,
engineer for the Commission, for his informative presentation of this entire matter to our committee.

Your committee has made a personal inspection of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, terminal properties in At-
lanta and in Chattanooga, together with the non-railroad property in Chattanooga. vVe find the railroad maintained
in a very efficient manner; we find the hotel property, leased
to J. B. Pound referred to in the foregoing, maintained in
a satisfactory manner. In fact, we are pleased to report a

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1933.

965

very satisfactory condition of the State's property as a whole.

On the adoption of the Resolution, Mr. Pound of Hancock moved the previous question.
On the adoption of the Resolution the ayes were 138, nays 2.
The resolution, having received the requisite Constitutional majority, was adopted.
By unanimous consent, the Speaker called up for consideration the report of the Third Committee of Conference on House Bill No. 182, known as the Tag Bill.
The following message from his Excellency, Governor Eugene Talmadge was read:

State of Georgia.
To the Members of the General Assembly of Georgia:
I wish to commend the members of the General Assembly for the efforts they have made on the $3.00 tag bill.
This bill has been pending before the Legislature for more than 40 days.
In the gubernatorial campaign last summer, I stated to the people that I would advocate a $3.00 flat rate on all tags for automobiles and trucks. I did this for the reason that I consider that an automobile tag is for the purpose of identification only.
Several other States of the Union have a $3.00 tag for motor vehicles, including California, which has the second

1380

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

largest number of motor vehicles of any State, and more miles of pavement than any State in the Union.
The $3.00 flat rate would leave over three million dollars in the hands of the people of Georgia to be used in the channels of trade for the necessities of life.
The State of Georgia is now receiving Federal aid for the relief of the unemployed in the State of Georgia. This money goes to the people who are not tax payers. My recommendation of the $3.00 tag was to help the tax payers of the State.
The Senate has passed a bill cutting the price of automobile tags in half and lowering the price of lighter truck tags, but maintaining the price of the heavier trucks. This is on the idea of raising revenue for the maintenance of the Highway Department.
The House has passed a bill of $3.00 for tags on all automobiles up to 3000 pounds in weight and 50 cents additional for the heavier cars.
The House bill agrees with the Senate bill on the tags for trucks and disagrees only on tags for passenger-carrying automobiles.
You will see from the above two bills that there are two schools of thought.
One agrees with the campaign pledges and the Democratic platform adopted at the Macon Convention, that the tag should be for the purpose of identification only. The other school of thought contends that the tag should be a measure for the raising of revenue.
The House amendment to the Senate substitute showed an effort to compromise these two positions.
I still think we should have and wish to recommend to the General Assembly that they pass the $3.00 flat rate for all motor vehicles. But, if this can not be d.one, and in

THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1933.

1381

view of the fact that this measure has been before the Legislature for more than forty days, and is now affecting other legislation vital to the people of Georgia, I wish to recommend to the members of the General Assembly and earnestly request that both Houses agree to the House amendment to the Senate substitute as a compromise measure to the campaign promises made to the people and the Democratic platform on this subject.

March 1st.

EUGENE TALMADGE,

By Mr. Mundy of Polk-

A RESOLUTION To provide for the funding of ninety-one thousand dollars of the debt of the State to the land scrip fund of the University of Georgia.
Whereas, under Acts of Congress approved July 2, 1862, and April 14, 1864, a part of the public lands was allotted

TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1933.

1541

to the State of Georgia to provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts; and
Whereas, under the Act of the General Assembly, approved March 10, 1866, Georgia signified her acceptances of these lands; and
Whereas, under the Act approved December 12, 1866, the Governor of Georgia was authorized to apply for, receive and sell these lands and to invest the proceeds in the bonds of this State; and
Whereas, under a resolution approved July 25, 1872, the Governor was authorized to accept the final installment of the purchase money before the due date of payment and to allow a discount thereon at the rate of 7 per centum per annum, and
Whereas, under a resolution approved February 21, 1873, it was recited that the purchase money had been received and paid into the State Treasury and constituted a part of the General Fund of the State and it was declared that said money should not be placed with the general funds of the State but should be invested and disbursed as provided in the Act approved December 12, 1866, and
Whereas, under Executive Order dated March 30, 1872, it was ordered that two hundred and forty-three thousand dollars derived from the sale of the land scrip should be invested in bonds of the State of Georgia and that the money so invested should constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which should remain forever undiminished, and that the bonds, in which said fund should be invested, should be turned over to the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia, and
Whereas, it appears from the records of the Treasury and of the University of Georgia, that $15 2,000.00 was so invested and the bonds delivered to the University of Georgia, but that the remainder of $91,000.00 was not in-

1542

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

vested in bonds and the bonds delivered to the University of Georgia, although it appears that the State has annually appropriated a sum to pay interest at 7 per cent on $90,202.17 of the Land Scrip Fund {the difference of $797.83 short of the amount of the fund as stated in the Executive Order herein above referred to, probably being the amount of discount allowed under the resolution of
July 25, 1872), and
Whereas, the Act of Congress of July 2, 1862, provided that all moneys derived from the sale of the lands donated under the Act should be invested "in stocks of the United States, or of the States, or some other safe stocks, yielding not less than five per centum upon the par value of said stocks," therefore,
Be it resolved, by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives, that the Governor be, and he is hereby, authorized to issue to the Regents of the University System of Georgia an obligation in writing in the nature of a bond, in the amount of ninety-one thousand dollars, dated July 1, 1933, and due fifty years from that date, to bear interest at the rate of five per centum per annum to be paid semi-annually on the first days of January and July of each year, and not subject to be called in for redemption by the State before that time, nor to be negotiated, or transferred by said Regents, but to be payable to said Regents of the University System alone, and to be issued under the great seal of the State, ?nd signed by the Governor and countersigned by the Secretary of State, the terms prescribed in the Act, approved September 30, 1881, "to make permanent the income of the University of Georgia" to be fully expressed in and made the terms of said bond, except as altered in this resolution.
Mr. Culpepper of Fayette moved that further consideration of House Resolution No. 93-447a be postponed until the afternoon session, this day, and the motion prevailed.

On the passage of the bill by substitute, as amended, the ayes were 105, nays 4.
The bill, having received the requisite Constitutional majority, was passed by substitute, as amended.
By unanimous consent, the bill was immediately transmitted to the Senate.
The following report of the joint committee of the House and Senate, investigating the Department of Agriculture, was submitted and read:

To the Senate and House of Representatives of Georgia:
Your joint Committee appointed under the terms of Senate Resolution Number 43 to investigate and reporf upon charges of improper conduct on the part of the officials of the Department of Agriculture, beg leave to submit the following report:
Your Committee has met with much difficulty in tracing reports relative to the Department of Agriculture and in

1794

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

securing testimony in support of charges, made against officials thereof. vVitnesses have been widely scattered and it has been difficult to bring them before us. The Committee has been forced to trace many rumors in order to determine their value. The investigation has been conducted as rapidly as other important legislative duties would permit and hearings have been concluded earlier than we would like, and earlier than was expedient, because of lack of time.
The Resolution under which the Committee acts requires a report during the present session of the General Assembly, and as same has only one more week to run, we are forced to discontinue the gathering and hearing of evidence in order to be able to make report as provided by the resolution.
The Committee has heard many witnesses upon the subject of our inquiry and transmit herewith a stenographic report of all testimony, in two volumes, marked respectively Volume 1, and Volume 2, for the consideration of both branches of the General Assembly, and as a basis for such action as may be deemed advisable. Such documentary evidence as has been submitted to the Committee is being transmitted and filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
The sense of the Committee is that considerable of the testimony elicited has been reluctantly given, and in many instances has been evasive, indicating that the witnesses were withholding testimony of important matters within their knowledge.
The Committee was peculiarly struck with the attitude assumed by Mr. G. C. Adams, Commissioner of Agriculture, in giving testimony. All of the testimony given by Mr. Adams was evasive and his recollection upon matters important to himself as well as important on the subject of our inquiry, was so obviously assumed that it indicated

SATURDAY, MARCH 11,1933.

1795

to the Committee he was unwilling to testify to the truth of the transactions inquired about. He was totally unable to identify or deny signatures appearing to be his own on letters and checks. In his testimony he declined repeatedly to either admit or deny transactions about which he was questioned. No positive reply to any question of consequence could be elicited from Mr. Adams. When questioned about the details of his campaign Mr. Adams took the attitude of being entirely ignorant of matters pertaining to his campaign headquarters and the conduct of his campaign. He likewise assumed the attitude of utter ignorance as to the headquarters maintained by or for him subsequent to his campaign, same being matters in which he was vitally concerned and about which he of necessity should have had complete knowledge and understanding.
Mr. Adams apparently was in a state of uncertainty as to his connection with his own campaign activities and with agencies set up by him for the conduct of his before and after campaign activities. He apparently adopted all actions on his campaign headquarters when favorable to his cause, but denied or evaded any responsibility for activities detrimental to him. It is the conclusion of the Committee that Mr. Adams was unwilling to give to the Committee full details of his actions both before and after his indu<;tion into office and withheld from the Committee information which would have established either his innocence or his guilt. The Committee desires to report that all hearings during this inquiry were open to the public and press and notice of the time and place of same was given, and Mr. Adams and his attorneys were given opportunity to cross examine all witnesses called and the opportunity to summon all witnesses desired by him. During the hearing the witnesses were not segregated, but all testimony was taken publicly. Your Committee has not sought to
act in the capacity of detectives, but invited information upon the subject of the inquiry and endeavored to act

1796

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

judiciously in bringing to light all facts regarding the subject of the inquiry of which they had information in the time available. However, the Committee has had notice of many witnesses who might be able to throw light upon the subject of the inquiry, but whom the Committee did not have opportunity to summon before them because of their distance from the seat of the inquiry, the lack of time and expense incident to their appearance.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS AND STATEMENT.
The Committee finds that the Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr. G. C. Adams, filed a statement with the Comptroller-General, setting forth that he had expended during his campaign the sum of $8 87.00, while evidence was adduced to show that $1,15 5.00 was collected for the benefit of his campaign, prior to September 14, 1932, which was not incorporated in his report of campaign receipts and expenditures as required by Section 92 of the Code of Georgia, which also was in addition to the $887.00 actually reported. We further find that subsequent to the September, 1932, Primary, the sum of $2,485.00 is reported as having been collected for the benefit of Mr. Adams, some of this fund being in the form of checks payable to Mr. G. C. Adams, bearing his endorsement, and testified to as having been delivered to Mr. Adams, the signature of Mr. Adams being identified by witnesses.

MISCONDUCT IN OFFICE.
Your Committee finds and begs leave to report that in the month of January considerable sums of money was demanded of the employees in the Department of Agricul-
ture by J. \V. Rountree, Director of the Bureau of Mar-
kets, formerly manager of the campaign of G. C. Adams, without explanation of the use to which same was to be put, coupled with the injunction that no questions were to
be asked; that said sums were paid over to the said J. Vv.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1933.

1797

Rountree; the said Rountree testified that said funds were to be expended in an effort to recover a certain check
given by J. P. Yarbrough to G. C. Adams for the sum of
$125.00 (which check is incorporated in the record), which said check was alleged to have been taken from the Fulton
National Bank upon a forged receipt of the said J. P.
Yarbrough. The Committee suggests that the recovery of the check may have been important to the welfare of Mr. G. C. Adams and that the collection of these funds from the employees of the Department constituted extortion, and that while the testimony does not disclose knowledge of this transaction on the part of G. C. Adams, the matter is open to inquiry. The Committee has no hesitancy in condemning such practices.
The Committee calls attention to the testimony of J. W.
Rountree in which he says that Mr. G. C. Adams had full knowledge of all donations and payments made to Rountree by persons paying money, both before and after Adams was inducted into office and that said transactions were with the full knowledge and approval of Mr. Adams.
Further attention is called to the testimony of Mr. J. W.
Rountree in which he states that some persons were given receipts for money in which receipts it was stated that the money was to be returned to them in the event they received no job or same was unsatisfactory. The attention is also called to the testimony of Mr. T. P. Singleton to the effect that a receipt of this character was given to him.
Under the resolution, as construed by this Committee, we are not charged with the duty of drawing conclusions of guilt or innocence, or making recommendations as to future procedure, if any, and in view of this construction of the resolution by the Committee we submit the evidence

1798

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

adduced for such disposition as may be deemed proper m the premises.
Respectfully submitted,
J. T. SISK, Chairman. A. S. JoHNSON,
s. D. STRICKLAND.

To the Senate and House of Representatives:
The undersigned as members of the joint committee appointed under the terms of Senate Resolution No. 43 to investigate alleged improper conduct upon the part of officials of the Department of Agriculture beg leave to submit the following report:
vVithout quoting in detail from the mass of testimony taken over a period of several weeks, which testimony has been reduced to writing and comprises a record of over 350 pages of typewritten matter we find that Mr. G. C. Adams,
Commissioner of Agriculture, placed Mr. J. W. Rountree
of Atlanta in charge of the former's campaign for election as Commissioner of Agriculture in the primary election last fall, and that Mr. Rountree later was in charge of Mr. Adams' campaign headquarters which were kept open after the election until Mr. Adams was inducted into office in January, we further find that after Mr. Adams was inducted into office, Mr. Rountree was placed in charge of the Bureau of Markets in the office of Commissioner of Agriculture. We find that before the primary election in September, after the primary and until January 1, 1933 when Mr. Rountree was selected as Director of the Bureau of Markets, and during the time Mr. Rountree was director of Bureau of Markets, Mr. Rountree received various sums of money irregularly and improperly, in connection with campaign expenses of Mr. Adams, and that Mr. Rountree was responsible for having a number of persons

SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1933.

1799

appointed to office in the Department of Agrciulture, who should not have been appointed.
The testimony is not sufficient in our opinion to warrant a finding or a report on the part of the undersigned that Mr. Adams was fully cognizant of the actions and doings of Mr. Rountree and that he should be held accountable therefor.
All the evidence submitted to the committee is transmitted to the House and Senate for examination and for such action thereon as each body may see fit to take.
Respectfully submitted,
R. W. CAMPBELL of 34th District,
SHELBY MYRICK of Chatham.

Mr. Lanier of Richmond moved that the report of the committee investigating the Department of Agriculture be printed, and the motion was lost.

By Mr. Vaughn of Rockdale-
House Resolution No. 191 :

A RESOLUTION
Whereas, it appears to this House, from statements made on the floor thereof, by Messrs. Strickland of Douglas and Johnson of Montgomery, that members serving upon the investigating committee, investigating the Department of Agriculture have been during such investigation and some member or members of said committee have been approached by persons, who undertook to influence the findings of said committee by offer of bribes, of political preferment, and threats against said gentlemen.

House Resolution No. 194.

A RESOLUTION.
Wheras, the present Constitution of the State of Georgia was adopted in 1877, fifty-six yearsago, shortly after the end of the reconstruction government and while the fear of alien domination and control was still prevalent, since which time the conditions in the State have completely changed; and,
Whereas, in order to adapt the Constitution to the changing needs of the people there have been proposed and adopted no less than one hundred and fifteen amendments to the Constitution, and there have been offered at the present

1834

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

session of the General Assembly a score of additional proposals for amendments; and,
Whereas, these numerous amendments have in many instances provided for a purely local situation applicable to only one county or municipality, or a small group of counties or municipalities, and many have been temporary, and the purpose for which they were adopted has been fulfilled or abandoned, and some of these amendments have changed one paragraph of the Constitution without regard to other provisions thereof on the same subject, thereby causing inconsistencies in the different provisions, and many of the amendments have been hastily prepared during crowded sessions of the General Assembly, and are ambiguous and uncertain of interpretation, and various provisions of the original Constitution and of the several amendments are obsolete, and while remaining in the Constitution are no longer of force; and,
Whereas, a series of amendments designed to clarify certain articles of the Constitution and to remove some of the inconsistencies and ambiguities therein, and to strike therefrom obsolete provisions, have been approved by these committees, but on account of the congestion of the calendars of the two Houses cannot be acted upon at the present session of the General Assembly; and,
Whereas, there is a growing demand for a revision of the Constitution, and it is believed that such revision can be done more satisfactorily by a small commission proposing amendments to be adopted by the General Assembly and submitted for ratification by the people of the State rather than by a Constitutional Convention, or by amendments worked out during a regular session of the General Assembly;
Therefore, be it resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
1. That a Commission be appointed to revise the Constitution, proposing such amendments, both of form and of

MoNDAY, MARCH 13, 1933.

1835

substance, as in their judgment will remove inconsistencies, clear up ambiguities, render certain the various provisions of the Constitution, strike out obsolete, temporary and local provisions, and better adapt the Constitution to the needs and conditions of the people of the State, and improve the organization and operation of the State Government.
2. That the Commission be composed of five members of the House of Representatives, appointed by the Speaker, and three members of the Senate, appointed by the President, a Justice of the Supreme Court, designated by the Court, a Judge of the Court of Appeals, designated by the Court, two Judges of the Superior Court, appointed by the Governor, the Attorney-General, or one of his Assistants, designated by him, the State Auditor, four practicing attorneys at law, and two outstanding laymen actively interested in governmental affairs, appointed by the Governor.
3. That the Commission submit its report in the form of amendments to the several articles, sections and paragraphs of the Constitution so that the same may be considered and acted upon separately by the General Assembly, and so many thereof as may be approved, may be submitted to the people for ratification, or rejection by them separately.
4. That the Commission perfect their own organization and sit at such times and such places as they may determine after the adjournment of the General Assembly, and file their report with the Governor not less than sixty days before the time fixed for the convening of the next General Assembly, said report to set forth in such form as the Commission may determine the new provisions suggested by the Commission, with reasons for making the changes suggested, and such explanation and comment as the Commission may deem best for a clear understanding of the provisions suggested.
5. The Governor is hereby requested to cause the report of the Commission to be printed under the super-

1836

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

visiOn of the Commission, or a Committee thereof appointed for the purpose, and to be distributed to the members elected to the next General Assembly not less than thirty days before the convening thereof.
6. In the event the Governor should deem it necessary to call the present General Assembly into extraordinary session and the Commission can complete the work assigned to them prior to the convening of such extraordinary session, the Governor is hereby requested to include in his call for the session the consideration of the report of the Commission and action thereon so that the several amendments proposed may be submitted to the people for their ratification or. rejection at the general election to be held in 1934.

By Senator Boykin of the 29th District-
Senate Resolution No. 100. A resolution to permit the Georgia Bicentennial Cornfuission, at their own expense, to place on the wall of the corridor in the State Capitol an ornamental tablet in commemoration of the 200th Anniversary celebration of the Georgia Colony, and for other purposes.

2016

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

day of the month next succeeding the end of the quarter for which the tax is due.
Provided further, that when the tax for which any person is liable under this section of said Act does not exceed the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in any quarter year he shall not be required to make either monthly or quarterly returns, but an annual return and remittance shall be required, under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Revenue Commission, and with their permission, such annual return and remittance to be made on or before the 15th day of the month next succeeding the end of the tax year for which the tax is due.
Provided further, that the monthly, quarterly and annual returns required under this section of said Act shall be made upon forms to be prescribed by the Revenue Commission and under rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Revenue Commission.
Provided further, that the Revenue Commission for good cause shown may extend the time for making and return required under the provisions of this section of said Act, and may grant such reasonable additional time within which to make such return as the Revenue Commission may deem proper, but the time for filing any such report shall not be extended beyond ninety ( 90) days next succeeding the regular due date of such return.
Paragraph 8.

against him to the Revenue Commission; such return shall be verified by the oath of the taxpayer if made by an individual, or by the oath of the Ptesident, Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer, or a corporation, if made on behalf of a corporation. If made on behalf of a partnership, joint adventure, association, trust, estate or any other group or combination acting as a unit any individual delegated by such firm, partnership, joint adventure, association, trust, estate, or any other group or combination acting as a unit shall make the oath on behalf of the taxpayer. If for any reason it is not practicable for the individual taxpayer to make the oath, the same may be made by any duly authorized agent. The Revenue Commission for good cause shown may extend the time for making the annual return on the application of any taxpayer and may grant such reasonable additional time within which to make the same as may by them be deemed advisable.
Paragraph 9. Be it further enacted, that as soon as practicable after the return is filed, the Revenue Commission shall examine it; if it then appears that the correct amount of tax is greater or less than they show in the return, the tax shall be recomputed. If the amount already paid exceeds that which should have been paid on the basis of the tax so recomputed, the excess so paid shall be credited against the subsequent payment; and if the amount already paid exceeds the correct amount of the tax, the excess shall be credited or refunded to the taxpayers in accordance with the provisions of this section of said Act, and rules and regulations prescribed by the Revenue Commission.
If the amount already paid is less than the amount which should have been paid, the difference to the extent not covered by any credits under this section, together with interest thereon at the rate of seven per centum per annum from the time the tax was due shall be paid upon notice and demand by the Revenue Commission. If any part of the deficiency is due to negligence or intentional disregard to

2018

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

authorized rules and regulations with knowledge thereof, but wi_thout intent to defraud, there shall be added as a penalty ten per centum of the total amount of the deficiency in the tax and interest in such a case shall be collected at the rate of seven per centum per annum on the amount of such deficiency in the tax from the time it was due, which interest and penalty shall become due and payable upon notice and demand by the Revenue Commission; if any part of the deficiency is due to fraud with intent to evade the tax then there shall be added as a penalty one hundred per centum of the total amount of the deficiency in the tax, and in such case the whole amount of tax unpaid, including penalties so added shall become due and payable upon notice and demand by the Revenue Commission, and an additional one per centum per month on the tax shall be added from the date such tax was due until paid.
Paragraph 10. Be it further enacted, that it shall be the duty of every person engaging or continuing in this state, in any business for which a tax is imposed by this section to keep and preserve suitable records of the gross income, gross receipts and/or gross receipts of sales of such business and such other books or account as may be necessary to determine the amount of tax for which he is liable, under the provisions of this section. And it shall be the duty of every such person to keep and preserve for a period of two years, all invoices of goods and merchandise purchased for resale, and all such books, invoices and other records shall be open for examination at any time by the Revenue Commission or its duly authorized agents. If no return is made by any taxpayer required to make returns as provided herein, the Revenue Commission shall give written notice by registered mail to such taxpayer to make such return within thirty days from the date of such notice, and
if such taxpayer shall fail or refuse to make such returns as he may be required to make in such notice, then such returns shall be made by the Revenue Commission from

THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1933.

2019

the best information available, and such returns shall be prima facie correct for the purposes of this section of said Act, and the amount of tax shown due thereby shall be a lien against all the property of the taxpayer until discharged by payment, and if payment be not made within thirty days after demand therefor by the Revenue Commission there shall be added twenty per centum as a penalty together with interest on the amount of the tax due at the rate of one per centum per month from the time such tax was due. If such tax be paid within thirty days after notice by the Revenue Commission, then there shall be added five per centum as a penalty, and interest at the rate of one per centum per month from the time such tax was due until paid; provided, however, in the event such taxpayer in answer to said notice from the Revenue Commission shall show reasonable cause why said return was not made, the Revenue Commission shall investigate that question before proceeding further under this section, and, for good cause shown, may relieve the taxpayer of the penalties herein imposed.
Paragraph 11. Be it further enacted, that the tax imposed by this section shall be a lien upon the property of the person subject to the provisions hereof, who shall sell out his business or stock of goods or shall quit business, and such person shall be required to make out the return provided for under this section within thirty days after the date of the sale of his business, or the cessation of said business, and his successor in business shall be required to withhold sufficient of the purchase money to cover the amount of taxes due and unpaid until such time as the former owner shall produce a receipt from the Revenue Commission showing that the taxes have been paid, or a
certificate from said Commission that no taxes are due. If the purchaser of a business or stock of goods shall fail
to withhold purchase money for the thirty day period he
shall be liable for the taxes accrued, including penalties

2020

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

and interest on account of the operation of the business by the former owner.
Paragraph 12. Be it further enacted, that if any person having made the return and paid or refused to pay the tax as provided by this section of said Act, feels aggrieved by the assessments made upon him by the Revenue Commission, he may apply to the Revenue Commission by petition in writing within one month-30 days-after the notice is mailed to him, for a hearing, and a correction of the amount of the tax so assessed upon him by the Revenue Commission, in which petition he shall set forth the grounds and reasons why such hearing should be granted and the amount in which said tax should be reduced. The Revenue Commission shall promptly consider such petition and may grant such hearing or deny same. If denied the petitioner shall be forthwith notified thereof; if granted the Revenue Commission shall notify the petitioner of the time and place fixed for such hearing. If upon said hearing it is determined that a refund should be made, the Revenue Commission shall so order and pay the same. The Revenue Commission is empowered to prescribe from time to time all necessary rules and regulations governing such hearings, changing or amending same from time to time as deemed necessary by the Commission.
After such hearing the Revenue Commission may make such order in the matter as may appear to it just and lawful and shall furnish a copy of such order to the petitioner. Any person improperly charged with any tax and required to pay the same may recover the amount paid together with interest at the rate of seven per centum per annum, in any proper action or suit against the Revenue Commission, which is hereby made subject to said suit, and the Superior Court in the county in which the tax accrued or in which the taxpayer is domiciled shall have original jurisdiction of any action to recover any tax improperly collected. It shall not be necessary for the taxpayer to protest against

THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1933.

2021

the payment of the tax or to make any demand to have the same refunded in order to maintain such suits. In any suits to recover taxes or to collect taxes the court shall adjudge costs to such an extent and in such manner as may be deemed equitable. No injunction shall be awarded by any court or Judge to restrain the collection of any tax imposed by this section, or any part thereof, due from any person, except upon the ground that the assessment thereof was in violation of the Constitution of the United States or of this State or that the same was illegally or fraudulently assessed, or assessed against any person not subject to any tax under the provisions of this section, and no injunction shall be granted to restrain the collection of any tax levied hereunder unless and until the complainant shall give bond as required, which bond shall be conditioned for the prompt and full payment of all taxes, penalties and interest that may be determined to be due the State by the decree which shall be entered in said cause; and in the event the amount of said assessment as fixed by said decree shall be in excess of the true amount claimed by the complainant, when also for the prompt and full payment of all penalties that may have accrued and the cost of said suit. Appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals to any judgment or decree rendered by the Superior Court as in other cases at law in this State, either by motion for new trial and bill
of exceptions to its refusal or by bill of exceptions. Pro-
vided, however, that no taxpayer shall institute and/or
maintain any action or suit in any Superior Court as herein
provided, except in the case of injunction as herein pro-
vided, until said taxpayer shall have petitioned said Revenue
Commission and said petition shall have been finally dis-
posed of and, provided further, that said action or suit
may be instituted and/or maintained only upon the grounds and reasons set out in said petition and/or any supplement
or amendment thereto; and provided further, that said
action or suit must be instituted within ninety ( 90) days

2022

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

after the final disposition of petition and/or any supplement or amendment thereto by the Revenue Commission.

Paragraph 13. Be it further enacted, that a tax, including interest and penalties due and unpaid under this section shall constitute a debt due the State, and may be collected by appropriate action, which action shall be in addition to all other existing remedies; and it shall constitute a lien upon all the property of the taxpayer, except negotiable instruments not past due and the same shall be collected together with an additional ten per cent of the amount of the tax, interest and penalties imposed for failure to make or for making fraudulent returns and the cost of collection, if paid within thirty days after the day it was due and an additional five per cent of the amount of the tax for each succeeding thirty days elapsing before the tax shall have been paid.

The following letter was received, read, and ordered by the Speaker to be spread upon the Journal of the House:

March 17, 1933.
Hon. E. D. Rivers, Speaker,
House of Representatives,
State Capitol,
Atlanta, Georgia.
DEAR MR. RIVERS:
I have been informed by a friend that a member of the House made the point that I was lobbying on the floor of the House. I wish to state that if any one made this statement it is absolutely false. As a citizen of this great State and as an ex-member of the House, I called on Hon. Miles

FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1933.

2139

Collier on the floor of the House this morning inquiring as to the Cotton Holiday Bills which passed the Senate this week. He informed me that the bill had been passed out by the committee and he would have it read the second time today. If this be lobbying let anybody make the best of it they can. I am not ashamed or afraid of it.
I trust and request that you have this letter read to the House.
Sincerely,
CHAS. E. STEWART.
CES:W.
As authorized by the Committee on Rules, and adopted by the House, in the discretion of the Speaker, the following bills and resolutions of the House and Senate were taken up for consideration and read the third time:

By Messrs. Rivers of the 15th District and Howard of the 2nd District-
Senate Bill No. 118. A bill to be entitled an Act to amend an Act designating the highway mileage, by adding additional mileage from Lyons, Georgia, through the new prison farm to Glennville, Georgia, and for other purposes.
The following amendments to Senate Bill No. 118 were read and adopted :
Mr. Jordan of Schley moves to amend Section 2 of Senate Bill No. 118, by adding thereto, "and to the Neill-Traylor Highway Map the following road mileage in counties of Schley, Macon and Taylor, to-wit: A public road from Ellaville via Ideal to Reynolds, Ga."
Mr. Clements of Wheeler moves to amend Senate Bill No. 118 by adding approximately 26 miles from Tignall, Ga., in Laurens County, to Alamo, in Wheeler County.

2140

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

Mr. Myrick of Chatham moved to amend the NeillTraylor Act and extend line 38 from Clyde to Savannah, following approximately the following route, on the reverse basis from Savannah to Clyde: Proceed out of Savannah on Gwinnett Street and to the city limits, taking direct southwardly course to Fort Argyle on the Ogeechee River, the road to be located crossing the Ogeechee River at the most advantageous point to be determined by the highway engineers. The crossing of the Ogeechee River at Fort Argyle can easily be made on account of the narrowness of the river at that point. Proceeding south after the road crosses the Little Ogeechee I would suggest an off-shoot to be constructed in a southeast direction connecting with the Coastal Highway at approximately the thirteen-mile post, after the highway crosses the Big Ogeechee the line would be built direct into Clyde, or could tap No. 30 just east of Clyde, using the latter number into Clyde proper. Of course, this could be determined by the engineers. I would suggest also a branch line leaving No. 40 at approximately the half-way point between Clyde and Pembroke, following a direct route to Morgan's Bridge and over the Pine Barren road tapping No. 26 approximately at the eight-mile post into our city.

Mr. Speaker: We, your Committee on the School for the Deaf located
at Cave Springs, Georgia, visited this school on Saturday, February 25th. They have 225 white students and 52 colored.
Your committee was much impressed with the impor tance this humanitarian effort on the part of the State to

2334

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

make self-supporting citizens out of this unfortunate but worthy class of our Georgia people collected from every section of the State. It is pitiful in the extreme to see these children, shut in from the world of sound, because of which they are unable to use the vocal chords and communicate with their fellows and thus assume a normal place in society.
The purpose of this institution is, as far as is possible, to accomplish just this purpose.
An effort is made by the management through a corps of trained teachers to teach them speech by lip-movement and facial expression. The success of these efforts is such that these children not only learn to speak, but learn much in the way of an English education, and thus pave the way for becoming self-supporting citizens rather than a drug on society.
As these children grow to maturity they are trained in some handicraft and thus the way is paved to make them self-supporting. Some are trained as farmers, others work in the dairy, some are trained to become carpenters, cabinet makers, blacksmiths, shoemakers, printers., etc.; all these trades and others being emphasized at the institution.
The girls are taught cooking, housekeeping, laundry work, sewing, painting and other kindred subjects.
Your committee was much impressed with the work and importance of this institution.
Mr. Harris and his excellent wife and their helpers are doing a great work and deserve the generous support of the State.
Respectfully submitted, M. S. PATTEN of Tift,
Chairman. E. A. LEONARD of Walker,

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1933.

2343

ent session of the General Assembly, beg -leave to make the following report :
Immediately upon the appointment of the committee under the above mentioned resolution, the members met and
organized by electing Senator Andrew J. Tuten, of the 46th District, as Chairman, Representative J. H. Tipton, of
Worth County, as Vice-Chairman, and Representative W. R. Mixon of Irwin County, as Secretary, and proceeded to the work assigned to the committee under said resolution.
Several sessions have been had, the preliminary work of making investigation as to the charges made by said resolution with the view to getting information as to the names and addresses of the witnesses that it would be necessary to call and examine done, and a number of witnesses have been examined.
Under the circumstances attendant, the members of the committee having been duty bound to be in attendance upon the regular sessions of the two houses of which they are respectively members, and to give attention to important matters pending before the regular committees from time to time when the houses were not in session, though they feel that they have been diligent and have done the best they could, find themselves obliged at this time to report that it appears to be impossible to complete this investigation and make final report of the facts and their findings at this session of the General Assembly. The investigation involves the actions of the Text-Book Commission created by the Act known as the Stanton School Book Act, approved August 28, 1931 (Acts 1931, pages 136-145), the actions of the special committees of educators appointed by the Commission to aid in the selection of school books, and of many other persons connected with or participating in the service, covering a considerable period of time consumed in the selection of a complete list of school books for the use of the school systems of the State for the next five years and

2344

JOURNAL OF THE HoUSE,

the letting of some twenty-six contracts with as many publishing houses, and it is evident will require the examination of a large number of witnesses in order to make the investigation thorough and complete. This session of the General Assembly has now reached its last week, there being only two more legislative days before final adjournment is reached; and a large number of important bills are pending in which the members of this committee are especially interested, and in which they have put much individual work, the passage of which they believe to be of vital importance to the people of the State. Accordingly, though being fully sensible of the State-wide importance of this matter under investigation, finding it physically impossible to properly finish the work, must so report, and ask to be excused from further service.
After as careful an examination of the recent text-book adoption as our time would permit, we, your committee, beg to report that we have found many irregularities and in our opinion some violations of law, which no doubt were unpremeditated, yet never the less serious in their consequences.
We are not prepared to report that actual fraud or corruption can be charged, although in some cases what seemed to be a disregard of the public's interest was extremely evident.
In the testimony submitted will be found evidence that the total for all the old books at the new prices at which they were offered amounts to less than the new books adopted, and that in some cases the books of the old adoption are of later copyright than the same books of the new adoption.
We find further that some of the books adopted recently are special editions, some of them abbreviated in order to reduce their size and thus reduce their price. We condemP the adoption of abbreviated or expurgated books for Geor-

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1933.

2345

gia school children, who are entitled to complete and unabridged editions as originally planned by the authors.
According to the evidence of disinterested witnesses, and based upon the number of pupils of the various grades, the cost to make the complete change of books required under the new adoption would amount to more than a million dollars. This we regard as not only unnecessary but at this time when our people are staggering under the greatest depression of modern history, unable to pay their taxes, some losing their homes through foreclosure, many actually near starvation and dependent almost entirely upon charity, the contemplated change of books would be economically unsound and almost criminal.
In our judgment the contracts are illegal and should be recalled or cancelled by court action, for the following reasons:
1. No exchange prices were asked for and none bid although this requirement in the old law was not repealed by the ne~ law. The result is that good books in the hands of the children are not exchangeable, and are therefore a total loss, although they cost perhaps two million dollars. This appears to be not only a violation of the law but IS thoroughly unsound business practice.
2. An important safeguard in the old law was a provision that not more than 50% of the books could be changed at any adoption. This feature was not repealed by the new law, yet the board changed 86% of the books
in numbers and perhaps 9 5% in value or volume.
3. The law requires that publishers bid their books and also the plates for their books. Many publishers declined to bid plates as required by law yet many of them secured contracts.
4. The law requires the board to adopt from the list of books recommended by the sub-committee, yet some

2346

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

books were adopted which were not recommended by the sub-committee.

5. The law requires in the second paragraph of Section
13, that the sub-committee shall not recommend more than three books on a subject, and that no two of these shall be by the same author or publisher. This was violated. Five series of books on one subject were recommended-three of them by one author and one publisher.

The committee does report further that the investigation

has gone far enough to satisfy them that, under prevailing

conditions, the Stanton School Book Act came at a bad

time, and under present prospects its terms and effects, if

carried out, would prove most drastic, if not direful, to a

large number of the people of the State, who cannot afford

the expense of a practically wholesale change of school

books for the coming school year, and the committee ac-

cordingly recommends the repeal at this session of the

Stanton School Book Act, thereby relieving the people of the

ill effects of the enforcement of this Act, as nearly as is prac-

ticable at this time.

..

The repeal of this Act, in the opinion of the committee, would relieve the various boards, officials, teachers and others sought to be bound thereby of the drastic terms and effects of the Act, and would place them in position to continue the use of the old books now in the possession of the children until they are worn out, and the various school units to work their way gradually into uniformity, making it compulsory when the people can better afford the expense. In this way the expense of providing school books can be materially lessened, and the possibility of many of the poorer children continuing in school greatly enhanced.

We recommend that the Attorney-General be instructed to take such action under the evidences submitted and under the law as may be necessary that will rescind the contracts with the different publishers made under the recent TextBook adoption, in case the publishers will not voluntarily

2347

surrender them; also that the State Superintendent of Schools be instructed to advise all schools to continue to use the books now in the hands of the children for the period of this depression and until such time as can be held a legal adoption.
In the meantime the State School Superintendent will have the opportunity to get informed as to the situation and develop and suggest plans for the future, and the next General Assembly, after the two years intervening, can probably legislate on the subject with much better judgment, and we trust more favorable auspices, than can be done at this time.

MINORITY REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE OF SENATE AND HousE, APPOINTED UNDER SENATE REsOLUTION No.
15 TO INVESTIGATE AcTION OF ScHOOL BooK CoMMIS-
SION IN LETTING ScHoOL BooK CoNTRACTs.

To the General Assembly of Georgia:
We have carefully read the report rendered to your honorable body by a majority of the Committee under Senate Resolution No. 15. We must dissent in the most vigorous manner from this majority report.
We accepted this commission from your body and we went as carefully into this investigation as time would permit. We received testimony from everyone who seemed to know anything about this subject. Among others, we heard from the entire State Board of Education, who constitute the School Book Commission, and we also took testimony from one member of the Sub-Commission. We heard nothing from any witness that would justify the conclusions reached and expressed in the majority report. We are of the opinion that the contracts let by the State School Book Commission were in accordance with the provisions of the Stanton School Book Act, approved August 28, 1931. From the testimony given by the witnesses there is absolutely not one particle of evidence that would indicate in the slightest degree any sort of irregularity, secrecy, or fraud on the part of anyone in the letting of these contracts. There is no question but that the Stanton Act made it mandatory that these contracts should be made and that the School Book Commission made them as nearly as they could in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
We want to take occasion to express our absolute confidence in the integrity and ability, and the unequalled service of every member of the State School Book Commission and the Sub-Commission in the consummation of the work committed to their charge. We think we would be unworthy of the trust committed to us as members of this investigat-

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1933.

2349

ing committee if we did not say that the State School Book Commission could not have acted otherwise than they did in the making of these contracts. We wish to go further and say that we believe the State School Book Commission rendered a distinct service to the people and that they made contracts that indicate very clearly that they had no other motive than to serve the best interest of the children of the State. The prices bid, and at which books were adopted, were clearly lower than any prices that had been heretofore secured by the State of Georgia.
We feel it is extremely unfortunate that legislatures should be put to the trouble and expense of investigations which, to say the least, from the testimony, could serve no public good. It is clearly evident that this whole text-book question has been magnified out of all proportion to its importance. The amount of money involved in furnishing school books for Georgia has been greatly exaggerated by careless statements. There have been surveys made both by authorities of the State of Georgia and the United States Commission of Education at Washington on the subject of the cost of school books. These surveys are available to anyone who wishes to secure facts. As late as 1931 the Georgia Education Association at their own expense had a Committee appointed from their body, consisting of six lead-
ing school men from this State. These men were Supt. J. E.
Purks, Cedartown, Chairman; Supt. Roland B. Daniel, Columbus; Supt. E. B. Gresham, Burke County Schools;
Supt. Ralph Newton, Waycross; Dr. J. L. Beeson, Member
of County Board of Education, Baldwin County, President
Georgia State College for Women; Supt. J. L. Yaden,
Moultrie, President of Georgia Education Association. For the full period of one year they made a thorough and careful detailed study of the whole question of the cost of school books to the State of Georgia. They secured fro~ the State Department of Education a list of all book companies who were then furnishing school books and had a sworn statement from those publishers as to the amount of

2350

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

sales made in the State of Georgia for all the elementary grades from one to seven. From page seven of this report, which is available, it is shown that the total amount of sales for the year 1929-1930, the first year of new contracts, was $667,341.69. This covers the entire state of Georgia, both state contract and regular books, including independent cities. The total sales of all elementary books for the same grades for the year 1928-1929, the last year of the previous adoption, by the same companies, to all schools in the State, were $408,853.17. These figures are greatly at variance with the figures named in the report of the majority committee. The estimates of cost found in the majority report are largely guesses unsupported by any official data.
We cannot escape the conclusion that this investigation was inspired and precipitated by publishing houses who happened not to get contracts when the State School Book Commission let contracts. It is extremely unfortunate that loyal and deserving state officials such as constituted the State School Book Commission and Sub-Commission should be subjected to innuendos, criticisms, and insinuations such as are intimated in the majority report. Finally, we have reached the definite conclusion that the State School Book Commission rendered a distinct and worthwhile service to the State. vVe want to express our unlimited confidence in both the State School Book Commission and the SubCommission who rendered this worthwhile service.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. H. KEY, 28th District.

Pursuant to House Resolution No. 179, adopted by the House, requesting information from the Secretary of State, as to companies and individuals licensed to sell securities in this State, etc., the Secretary of State submitted the following report, and by unanimous consent, it was ordered included in the Journal of the House:

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1933.

2351

Hon. E. D. Rivers, Speaker
House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia.

Sir:
In compliance with the terms of House Resolution Number 179, I herewith transmit to the House of Representatives the information therein requested.
I want to express deep appreciation for an opportunity to furnish the members of the House this information, showing as it does to an extent the scope of the work involved in administering the Securities Law, and as pointed out in the Resolution some of the weaknesses of the present law which makes it difficult of enforcement.

Although it has required work both night and day in this Department, I have compiled the report in such manner as I hope will appear to be orderly and explicit. You will observe that the information is filed in the order called for by the Resolution which includes items "A" to "K", inclusive.

I call your attention to the fact that during the year 1931 the Securities Law was administered by the Georgia Securities Commission. From January 1, 1931, to June 27, 1931, the members of this Commission were as follows: Hon. George H. Carswell, Secretary of State, Chairman; Hon. George M. Napier, Attorney General, Member; Hon. Hal M. Stanley, Commissioner of Commerce and Labor, Member; and from June 27, 1931, to January 1, 1932, the members of this Commission were as follows: John B. vVilson, Secretary of State, Chairman; George M. Napier, Attorney General, Member; Hal M. Stanley, Commissioner of Commerce and Labor, Member. Under the Acts of 1931, effective January 1, 1932, the administration of the Securi-

2352

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

ties Law was placed under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of State.
Items "A" to "B" are answered on pages 1 to 56, m-
clusive.
Item "C" is answered on pages 57 to 66, inclusive.
Item "D" is answered on pages 67 to 69, inclusive.
Item "E" is answered on pages 70 to 72, inclusive.
Item "F". Answering this inquiry, information requiring a schedule of the liabilities and assets of the Issuers of stocks, bonds and debentures, together with the market value was required at the time permission was granted to sell.
Item "G". Answering this inquiry, the Securities Law does not provide for the filing of annual audits by Issuers, and consequently, Issuers have not been required to file them. However, a detailed financial statement is required annually, and if it appears necessary for any reason, this requirement is made more frequently. In addition to this, certain forms are sent out to all Issuers every six months requiring each of them to furnish detailed information as to their financial condition and as to any change in their form of management.
Item "H". Answering this inquiry, Issuers are not required under the Securities Law to file any notice as to whether or not they have suspended business or placed in receivership or bankruptcy, or who have defaulted in their obligations, principal or otherwise, to their security holders. The supervision authorized by the present law only extends over persons or corporations while they are engaged in offering for sale or selling securities to the public in Georgia.
Item "1". The aggregate maximum total amount of securities authorized by the Georgia Securities Commission and Secretary of State to be sold in this State during the years 1931 and 1932 was $107,693,110.00.

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1933.

2353

I tern "J". The amount in dollars at the qualified price
of said securities reported to the Georgia Securities Commission and the Secretary of State as sold in Georgia during the years 1931 and 1932 was $11,836,520.00. On account of the fact that persons and corporations are only under the supervision of this Department while offering securities for sale to the public, many companies and persons did not renew their licenses and did not make final reports of sales. Where such licenses were not renewed there is no provision by which they can be compelled to make report on such sales. In addition to this,. the Securities Law exempts from the supervision of this Department Class "A" securities and the sale thereof. This class, as you will observe, covers bonds of the Unit~d States and of the States and political subdivisions thereof, bonds of foreign governments, securities issued by banks, public service corporations, securities listed on the New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia Stock Exchanges; and various other securities described in this portion of the law. The amount of such securities sold in this State is not reported to this Department. It runs into millions and millions of dollars each year. It was for the purpose of remedying this and other defects that an amendment to our Securities Law was introduced in your General Assembly this year, requiring all persons engaged in dealing in such securities to have a license to do so. This amendment has passed the Senate and is now before your body. In addition to this, the sale of
securities covered by the Class "B" provisions, which re-
late entirely to the manner in which securities are sold, are
exempted under the provisions of the Securities Law and
are not under the supervision of this Department. For
the above stated reasons, this Department can not furnish
you with the amount in dollars of all the securities sold
within this State during the years 1931 and 1932 but can
only furnish the amount authorized and sold that were re-
quired under the Securities Law to secure a permit from this
Department.

2354

jOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Item "K". Answering this inquiry, during the period of time referred to under Item "K" in the Resolution, there were no securities in lock or deposit boxes within the confines of this State to which a member of the Securities Commission held the key, and, therefore, no removal of such securities beyond the jurisdiction of this State within this period of time. From the nature of this Item, however, it appears that it has reference to the action of the Georgia Securities Commission in transactions with the Investors Syndicate. All of these particular transactions were closed prior to the time when I became Secretary of State. The provisions of the Securities Law do not compel Issuers to enter into agreements to make deposits of collateral. How-
ever, beginning January 25, 1923, Investors Syndicate en-
tered into an agreement with the Georgia Securities Commission to deposit in a safety deposit box of the Fourth National Bank of Atlanta securities representing $110.00 for every $100.00 of its liability to investors in the State of Georgia. On the 29th day of November, 1930, the Commission made another agreement of like nature, in which the same securities were to be deposited with the Midland National Bank and Trust Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, as trustee. This agreement is now in force. A sworn statement is filed with this Department each month by this company showing that this agreement is being carried out. The securities deposited with this trustee representing $110.00 for every $100.00 liability to Georgia investors are under the control of this Department and can be confiscated or disposed of by this Department for the benefit of Georgia investors in the event of litigation or insolvency. Likewise, this designated trustee is under bond for the protection of investors. A detailed analysis of the nature and amount of these securities, as requested in Item "K", at the time of the agreement above referred to was executed is shown on page 73.
For your further information there are no deposits of collateral made to this Department by any company doing

this class of business in Georgia. However, all non-resident companies doing this class of business in Georgia are required to deposit such securities as collateral with a designated trustee approved by this Department.
Respectfully submitted, JoHN B. WILSON,
Secretary of State.

A PROTEST.
The undersigned members of the House desire to file their protest against the action of the House in agreeing to the Senate Substitute for the House Appropriation Bill; and do hereby protest and hereby file same.
For the following reasons, to-wit: That the people are unable and can't pay same. Second, because of the unfair cut made to said public schools appropriations in said Senate substitute. Third, because of the disproportionate appropriations to the University as compared to the common school.

Fourth, because the Constitution under Article VIII, Section VI, Paragraph 1, never intended to tax the masses of the people, to give university education when the condition of the State Treasury is as it now is and the taxpayer unable to pay his taxes.
