The New Tax-Law of Georgia.

w HEN the legislature met, it was effu-
sively welcomed to Atlanta by men who
knew exactly what they wanted
There were banquets, and speeches; junk
cts, and more speeches.
The State University was there, in all its
glory, and with all of it's appetite. AS usual,
1t wanted ''More"
The Georgia Power Company was there,
and it did not want any more. Cause why?
Because it already had everything it wanted.
All it desired was to keep what it had appro-
priated
The School-book Trust was THEREIN about
the same state of mind as the Georgia Power
Company. The Trust that robs the children
merely asked the privilege of continuing to
steal.
The Martial Law warriors were likewise
on hand, with bayonets fixed, and with Lieu
tenant Coburn fired up, ready to demand the
right to shoot anybody and everybody that
grunted or groaned liz violent and tumultu-
Gus manner.
The patriots of the Chamber of Commerce
were in evidence; and the wisdom which
grows In the luxurious shadows of bank par
Tors and club smokers was not entirely lack
ing
Under such benign and seductive inau-
ences, the Legislature began its labors.
Who was surprised when it Immediately
voted away more money than the State had
ever had, even in the good old days of Bull
loch, the Carpet-baggers and the niggers?
Governor John Slaton fell into an agony
of apprehension. How was he to pay out
hundred thousand dollars more than the
State held in it's treasury? The question
persisted: "the situation was a critical one"
But the Legislature rose to the occasion.
By equalizing the taxes, they could get
more money-enough perhaps to even satisfy
the State University

to Atlanta, where the State assessors will
equa1ize them for the whole State.
Hon.?
It is physical impossibility for the State
Assessor to know the relative value Of town
lands, city lands, suburban lands, swamp
lands, grazing lands, timber lands, fruit
lands, cotton lands, power site lands, and
mineral lands, in every different locality in
the State Of Georgia.
No man that ever lived, or ever will live,
could do it.
No matter how diligent, intelligent, hon
est and just the State Assessor may be, the
task is beyond him.
The Hon. John Hart was quickly named
as the first State Assessor. Against him, not
a word can be said.
But qoh0 aciW be his SUCCESSORS IN the gears
to come?
Gentlemen, let me tell you this:
That new law not honestly presented
to the people, and was not honestly passed
through the legislature.
It's success was due to subtcrfuge, manipu-
lation, slight-of-hand methods, and parlia-
mentary Juggling.
Its purpose IS to PIT more tareS on your
land.
The city millionaires dread an Income tax
on their corporate wealth, their stocks and
bonds. IF the millions that are hid out by
these city millionaIres could be got at, there
would be no necessity for heavier taxes on
the land.
And mark me, Gentlemen!
That office Of State assessor, Nv TIE
HANDS or 4 BAD NAN, qcW be one Of
the naightiest engines Of OPPRESSION,
FAVORITISM AND CORRUPTION
that aaey zaao making body crer created.
Remember: when that new law was. passed,
the appropriations were at once increased!
They meant to have more of your money
and they voted it away in anticipation Of the
effect of the new law.

1t would never do to raise the taxes. Oh,
no! Nor to increase the taxes. No! Nor to
ask more money from the taxpayers.
No! No! MOI
All they wanted was to eqeazige the taxes.
Bless the Lordl
Therefore, they passed the law to equa-
llze the taxes, and then they Immediately
reconsidered the reductions which had
applied to the appropriations.
Conscious that they had voted away more
than the States revenues, they had scaled all
the appropriations seven per cent.
This slight reduction of per cent had
given great pain to the State University and
other stpendiaries
But the moment the bill for equazisireg
the taxes had become a law, Presto, the scene
shifted
That per cent reduction went by the
board; and all the appropriations, which
voted away more money than the State had,
u'1d'eT the old Z0ao, went through like a flash.
Why? Because under the new law, the
State was to get more money!
How? BY raising taxes?
No. dad-burn it! haven't I already told
you that your taxes were not to be raised!
The Hon Shelby Myricz, of Savannah
said, OF the new tax-law:
Means Much to Cities.
This measure is going to benefit the cities
vastly. Under the present law the cities pay the
greater portion of the taxes of the State for they
have tax assessors, and the county tax receiver
follows the assessments of the city tax board.
The small counties have no assessors and country
property is returned for just what the people
want to return it, and half of it is not returned
at all.
