This plan would seem advisable in
order to relieve the treasury and the
people Of the increased burden at this
lime, unless financial conditions at the
time Of the sale Of the bonds should de-
mand that their redemption begin at an
earlier period in order to effectuate
their more satisfactory disposition.
Registration OF Voters.
We believe the present registra-
ton law should be so amended that
when a voter has once proven his
qualification by registering and
being enrolled, he shall remain
registered voter unless disqualified
for cause due to himself
The foregoing extract from the last
platform upon which / was elected, ex r.
presses a principle which deserves uni
versal acceptance. II contemplates no
change OF the constitution which pro-
vides for the qualification OF the voter.
/ recommend that the present regis
tration law be amended to correct the
injustice indicated. II would always be
provided that the voter must have paid
his taxes and not subjected himself to
law.
Highways.

An intelligent Highway Commission, or

sections.
cali your attention to the Western
which terminates in 1919. No one, ! ap-
prehend. would or should consider Its
sale, but the problem Of Its disposition
should be considered by a commission
with directions to report its recon-
mendations and it's reasons therefor.
To delay this matter will mean to
put the State at the inexcusahle dts
advantage Of unpreparedness when the
time arrives for Imperative action.

Laws to aid the finances OF
Georgia and sweeping reforms
of the tax system of the State are
stressed in the inaugural mes
sage of Governor Slaton.
In part, Governor slaton said
tutr system Is wrong. The Begisla
ture can appropriate what II pleases,
and the tax rate remains the same
THE Legislator has made himself IA
vorite with his constituency by voting
for every popular appropriation, anu
nothing suffers but the states credit.
Unless some check be made, an in
crease OF revenue will be OF no avail IN
preventing the financial embarrassment
of the state. Under the enthusiasm OF
the moment one appropriation Dill may
exhaust II.
More than four-h fths Of the States Of
the Union derive revenue from what Is
known as an Inheritance tax. am IN
formed that this tax is the subject OF
This form Of tax has been approved
by the highest authorities and Is one
of the easiest borne and subject to
fewer hardships than any other. The
Inheritance tax is 10 some extent cor
receive.
Corporation Taxation.
Prior to the year 1905, many efforts
were made to collect an occupation tax
from corporations. Governor Terrell, In
his message OF the year 1905, recon-
mended a tentative privilege tax based
on capital stock Of 100000 per year on
corporations having a capital OF VI
900 900. or over. He anticipated from
this source more than 500, 900 a year.
and thought that such sum could rea-
sonably be expected without hardship.
The State however. has not received
one half this sum, and during the year
1913 the estimated revenue from this
source is $4S, 900,
recommend that the maximum occu-
patton tax on corporations having ST.
900 600 capital and over be 5000 per an
mum, and the tax on corporations of less
capital be adjusted accordingly
Equalization Of taxes, either through
the enforcement OF present laws, or new
correctives, so that each may bear his
proportionate burden, would not mean
the increase OF taxes upon any one now
performing his duty. but would rather
mean the tightening Of his unfair por-
ton Of the load commend this sub
ject to your attention.
Bonded Debt To Be Refunded.
An additional reason for establishing
and maintaining the States finances on
q sound basis rs the necessity OF maxi
ing provision for more than one-hRlf OF
the entire bonded debt OF the State, ma
turing In 1915. This is an imperative
duty resting on this Legislature.
No sinking fund was provided by law
to retire the bonds aggregating $3.50,
600 which are due in 1918 The entire
States debt is Sc, 49,, 500 which does
not include the obligations to the Uni
versity, amounting to 1921 800. and the
iandscrip fund Of $40 600
All the debt OF S6,452. 500 is provided

ing fund required 10 be raised annually
