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 TuEsDAY, ]A~WARY 10, 1933. 181 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- TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933. 183 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 TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933. 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. 200 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. RICHARD B. RUSSELL, JR. Mr. Rivers of the 15th District moved that the joint session of the General Assembly do now dissolve, and the motion prevailed. TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933. 203 The House was called to order by the Speaker. The following resolution of the House was read and adopted: By Mr. Wilkinson of Terrell- House Resolution No. 10. A resolution extending the sympathy of the House to the family of Honorable Charles M. Harris of Terrell, deceased.

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. TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1933. 211 Mr. Knox of the 3rd District moved that the joint session of the General Assembly do now dissolve, and the motion prevailed.

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; Therefore be it resolved, that we express our deepest and profoundest regrets. Resolved further, that the Clerk transmit a copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased. THURSDAY, }ANUARY 12, 1933. 243 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.

The following message was received from the Senate through Mr. Boifeuillet, the Secretary thereof: FRID.W, JANUARY 13, 1933. 255 Mr. Speaker: The Senate has passed by the reqms1te Constitutional majority the following resolution of the House, to-wit: House Resolution No. 11. By Messrs. Harris of Richmond and Flynt of Spalding: Be it resolved, that the General Assembly of Georgia reconvene in regular session at 10 o'clock A. M., January 19, 1933. Under the order of Unfinished Business, the following resolution of the House was taken up for consideration, read the second time and adopted: By Mr. Mixon of Irwin- House Resolution No. 30. Be it resolved by the House, that the State Board of Education furnish to this House a list of all text-books and their contract price adopted for the five-year period end, and a list of all text-books and their contract price adopted under the new school book law be furnished the House by next Tuesday. Mr. Harris of Richmond moved that when the House adjourn today, it stand adjourned until next Monday morning at 11 :00 o'clock, and the motion prevailed. 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. January 13, 1933. Mr. Harris of Richmond moved that the House do now adjourn, and the motion prevailed. Privileges of the floor were granted to Honorable Clarence J\;1. Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, in charge of civil aviation. Leave of absence was granted to lV1r. Jenkins of Dooly.

By Senator \Veaver of the 25th District- Senate Resolution No. 52. A resolution to provide a proper celebration of the Bicentennial of the State of Georgia. 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 Legislators Assembly, held in \Vashington, D. C.: 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.

KING Chairman of the Public Service Commission at Interstate Conference of Legislators at vVashington, D. C., February 3, 1933 In many respects the present tax system in the United 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. 699 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- 700 JouRNAL OF THE HousE, 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- TUESDAY, FEBRCA.RY 7, 1933. 701 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. EXHIBIT "B" THE PossiBILITY oF ExTENDING TO OTHER FIELDS OF TAXATION THE REBATING DEVICE Now UsED BY THE FEDERAL GovERNMENT IN CoNNECTION WITH INHERITANCE TAXES. By FRANKLIN S. EDMONDS Member of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania 1921-1927. Chairman of the Pennsylvania Tax Commission (Legislative) 1924to 1927. 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 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933. 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- TuESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933. 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. Mr. Harris of Richmond moved that the House do now adjourn, and the motion prevailed. Leave of absence was granted to Mr. Rogers of Wayne.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the passage of this Act, Section 1 of the Act of the General Assembly of Georgia, entitled "An Act to regulate the business of fire and casualty in- SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1933. 1781 surance in this State, providing for the licensing of agents and for revocation or suspension of such licenses, and for other purposes," approved August 26, 1925 (Acts of 1925, pages 211-216 inclusive), be and the same is hereby amended by striking the said Section which defines fire and casualty insurance agents and substituting in lieu thereof the followmg: "For the purposes of this Act an 'Insurance Agent' is hereby defined to be an individual or a corporation or any member of a co-partnership' or association or any officer or agent of a corporation authorized by any insurance company lawfully qualified to transact business in the State to solicit, negotiate or effect contracts of insurance on behalf of any insurance company, or who does, or performs, any of the acts, services or things mentioned in the definition of 'an insurance agent' as set out in Section 2443 of Park's 1914 Code of Georgia. All such agents shall thereby become liable to all the duties, requirements, liabilities and penalties herein provided, but this Act shall not apply to any executive or traveling salaried employee of any such insurance company. The phrase 'company' or 'insurance company' or 'insurer' as used in this Act as amended hereby shall include only insurers writing fire and/or casualty insurance and/or fidelity and/or surety bonds." Sec. 2. Be it further enacted that Section 2 of the said Act which refers to the licensing of agents by the Insurance Commissioner is hereby amended by striking the same and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "No insurance company admitted to do business in this State shall write or issue any fire or casualty insurance policy or fidelity or surety bond on any risk in this State except through a resident agent or resident agents licensed by the Insurance Commissioner of this State; and the full commission thereon shall be paid to such licensed resident agent or resident agents; provided, however, that the duly licensed 1782 jOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, resident agent, or agents, in the State may pay a commission, not exceeding fifty per centum of the regular commissions allowed resident agents upon the issuance of such policies and/or bonds to a non-resident, duly licensed in this State in the manner hereinafter provided, on any business originated by such licensed non-resident. Provided, further, that this Section shall not apply to policies covering property in transit while in the custody of any common carrier or to rolling stock of any common carrier, nor to policies of mutual insurance companies on which no commissions are paid, nor to cotton insurance issued under a per bale reporting form of cover, nor merchandise insured under floater reporting value and multiple location forms. Provided, further, the words 'resident agent' as used in this Section through whom such business is required to be issued are deemed to mean resident agents engaged in the solicitation of such business from the public generally and shall not include any salaried employee of any insurance company doing business in this State. Nothing in this Section, however, shall be construed to relieve from license requirements any State or Special Agent, or traveling and/or salaried employee, who performs any of the acts, services or things mentioned in Section 2443 of Park's 1914 Code of Georgia, in behalf of any insurer or agent of the same. Such resident agent shall keep a true record of all policies and/or bonds thus issued through him on business originated by such licensed non-resident and shall furnish, if requested by the Insurance Commissioner, a vertified statement showing the risk covered, amount of insurance and premium involved, and such other information as may be necessary or required to aid the said Commissioner in the collection of all premium taxes due in this State and the enforcement of the provisions of this Act as amended hereby. No person except as hereinafter provided shall be licensed as an insurance agent in this State except upon the application of a company authorized to do business in this State, which said application shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by an executive officer SATURDAY, MARCH 11,1933. 1783 of such company and certifying that after inquiring into the facts to the best knowledge, judgment and belief of such company, such person is of good character, is now a bona fide resident of the State of Georgia, and in good faith intends to remain as such resident for a period of twelve ( 12) months or more from the date of the filing of said application, and is or expects to become bona fide engaged in the business of an insurance agent (as defined in this Act), that he has such moral and financial standing as to make it probable that he can carry on such an agency without detriment to the public, that he expects bona fide to solicit and serve the public generally and not to procure the license chiefly for the purpose of getting a rebate or commission on insurance written for himself or his family or some partnership or corporation in which he is interested or with which he is connected, and that he has such knowledge of the business and of the law and practices governing and relating to the same as will enable him to carry on the business in a competent manner and.without detriment to the public." Sec. 3. Be it further enacted that Section 8 of the said Act, which refers to Sections 2445 (a) and (b) of Park's 1914 Code of Georgia, being superseded to a certain extent, is hereby amended by striking said Section and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "This Act shall supersede the provisions of Sections 2445 (a) and 2445 (b) of Park's Annotated Code of Georgia 1914 so far as relates to the business of fire and casualty insurance and the business of writing fidelity and surety bonds, except to the extent that the agent must first be designated by some company authorized to do business in this State as its agent before a license other than a non-resident license shall be issued to him." Sec. 4. Be it further enacted that the said Act is hereby amended by adding a new Section to be known as Section 10, to read as follows : "Be it further enacted that no unauthorized company, or 1784 JouRNAL OF THE HousE, other unauthorized insurer, shall hereafter make, or issue, directly or indirectly, any policy of insurance covering on a:ny property or risk in this State and all such contracts are declared to be unlawful, void and unenforceable, and no action shall be maintained on any such contract in any court in this State."

And for the proper administration and enforcement of the foregoing provisions as amended, be it further enacted, that Sections 2412 ( 1) and 2412 ( 2) of the Georgia Code, Acts of 1912, pages 119 and 128, reading as follows : "2412 ( 1).

SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1933. 1791 Be and the same are hereby amended by repealing the said Sections and substituting the following: "There shall be established in this State in the office of the Comptroller-General, a department which shall be called the insurance department of the State of Georgia, and which shall be charged with the enforcement of the laws which have been or may hereafter be passed relating to insurance. Its chief officer shall be the Comptroller-General, who shall be styled 'Insurance Commissioner.'

The following amendment to the committee substitute to House Bill No. 548 was read and adopted: Messrs.

The committee substitute to House Bill No. 548 was adopted, as amended. The report of the committee, which was favorable to the passage of the bill by substitute, was agreed to, as amended. 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.

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.
