FINANCES OF GEORGIA
Subject Of Interesting Article by
State Treasurer Parks
STATE is VERY PROSPEROUS
Having Taxable Values Worth 81 400,
100000 Comparing Favorably
With Other States.

Atlanta Captain Robert n.
Park, state treasurer and bank exam
liner, recently contributed an interest
ing article to one Of the leading finan-
cial journals Of the United States,
dealing with the growth and pros
perity of Georgia in recent years.
The article details many interesting
and pleasing facts relative to the de-
velopment OF the state, as indicated
by the continued growth Of the bank
ing facilities within her borders.
Ocular demonstration and stern
statistics both show that no other Sec
ton Of the United States Is exhibit
ing mere significant progress at the
present time than the south, and no
portion of the south is more prosper
GUS than Georgia, " says Captain Park.
1.-THE south has come at last to be
recognized as financial and indus
trial power. The growth in banking
in Georgia has continued apace dur
ing 1908, and has grown from 448
state banks in active operation jan
uary /, 1903. to 400 state banks IN
January l., 1909 This number will
be increased as shown by application
for charter in the office Of the secre-
tary Of state.
January /, 1909, found the bond
ed debt Of Georgia to be $7,031 900,
mosly incurred by the extravaganza
Of the reconstruction and carpet bag"
administration (see history Each
year 100000 of this debt is paid
OFF, and there are annual appropria-
lions for the amount CT interest, about
100000 per annum.
"The state owns a railroad 1oS
miles long, from Chattanooga, Tenn,
to Atlanta, Ga, which has valuable
terminal facilities in both cities, ana
which in 1908 was estimated to be
worth fully S14,000,000, nearly twice
the amount Of the bonded debt.
Banking in Georgia is in pros
porous condition The largest class
Of depositors are the farmers, who
look more and more to their banks for
help instead Of the merchants and
cotton factors, hence the number OF
small banks in agricultural districts
is increasing.
"The rapid increase in cotton man
ufacturing has been especially re-
markable, and the income in the way
of dividends has been most satisfac-
tory. Despite the so-called panic new
cotton mills are being erected and old
ones are being enlarged along our wa.
ter courses and in our cities, towns
and villages at an unprecedented
rate.
I'm 1861, before the civil war. the
entire taxable values of the state OF
Georgia amounted to $671 100000. Of
this amount more than $S00,000,000
was invested in slaves, and of course
completely lost by the result Of the
war. In December, 1908, the total
taxable value of Georgia from all
sources amounts to SOC, S62. 1853, which
is the largest amount ever reached
in the. history of the state.
According to the method of the
United States in making assessments
Of taxable values, the state of Georgia
would now be worth $1,400000,0 900.
