SEEKS
FEE ABOLITION
To AID REVENUE
Coffee County Legislator Would
Put All Public Officials on
Straight Salary Basis.

Representative Charles E. Stewart.
of Coffee County. a new member of
the House. will undertake to abolish
the fee system Of compromising coun-
ty officials in Georgia, and substitute
in its stead a fiat salary system
He believes that the State can ma
terially increase its revenues by do
ing this, and he feels that the pro-
posal should prove popular with the
Legislature, for the reason that this
year tax reform appears to be very
much in order.
Just Passing Of Hat.
Discussing the bill he will intro
duce along the line stated. Mr.. Stew
art says:
The Comptroller General has said
that the present system is nothing
more nor less than passing around
the hat for a contribution from the
taxpayers
THE chairman Of the Railroad
Commission says: Tt is based upon
voluntary returns and hence its in
equalities.'
There is no doubt we need our
system Of gathering taxes revised, but
as I see 1t, this is not the only thing
we need along that line. / think what
we need now is not only something
to increase our revenue. but some
thing to protect and conserve our
present revenue of the State and
counties.
Check Present Waste.
Instead of legislating to increase
our revenues, we should first legis-
late TO check the present waste OF our
revenues, and / feel sure that we will
not only have sufficient funds to meet
all demands but will have enough left
TO double our old soldiers pay, in
crease our public school funds and
then have a lower tax rate than at
present, based upon our present tax
values.
Legislation OF this sort would not
only conserve our revenue, which is
now being wasted at the rate Of a
million and half dollars each year,
but in turning this great waste in the
direction of our old soldiers and
teachers we would protect the honor
and dignity OF our great State.
The Legislature and the people d
Georgia can abolish the ABDOMINAL fee
system, the useless County Treasurer
and Tax Receivers Offices and save
one million and a half each year. BY
local taxation we can tpln this waste
toward the support Of Our confederate
soldiers and public schools which will
provide a county pension Of the same,
or possibly more than the State nov
pays, and also a good amount in
crease in our local school funds
