THE Democracy of Georgia, in con-
convention assembled, congratulate
the people upon the reunion
of the white people of this
state in the Democratic party, and
pledge them to such an 1ministra-
ton of the states affairs as will afford
complete protection of life, liberty and
property and the pursuit of happiness
to every person within her borders.
We indorse our state administration
and commend our chief executive and
each of our state officials for the cap
able, faithful and honest administra-
ton of the states affairs.
1--WE favor such legislation as will re-
quire persons, both natural and arti-
fetal, to pay their equal share of taxes
upon every species of their property in
strict accordance with the constitution
all provision relative to taxation; and
an amendment to the constitution lin
iting the rate of taxation to the low
est figure consistent with the proper
maintenance of the state government,
the public institutions, the cause of
education and liberal and just though
not extravagant pension system.
1--WE pledge the people of Georgia an
honest and economical administration
of the affairs of the state, an earnest
effort on our part to reduce the rate of
taxation to the lowest figure possible.
1.-THE best efforts of the party are
hereby pledged to a revision of our
public school laws, so as to make the
common school system more effective
and more in accord with the necessi-
ties of the rural schools throughout
the state.
1--WE favor the enactment of such
laws as will afford equal and exact
justice to labor and capital alike. and
the administration of these laws in
such a spirit of fairness as will pro-
tect and foster the interests which
are already in the state and encour-
age the establishment of new enter
prises, thereby affording larger and
more extended fields of industry for
our citizens.
