may fall, and / unhesitatingly urge
abolition of every useless board, of

ALL"
Governor Hardwick referred to
the agricultural interests Of the state
which he declared 'to be especially
necessary in this most trying period
of readjustment."
Without the farmer we cannot
feed the state; without him we can
not clothe it; upon him, in both war
and peace, depends both the prosper
ity and wcll-being Of the state" said
the governor.
IF | may say just word to him
today" continued the governor, IT
would say. Feed yourself first, be-
fore you undertake to clothe the
world, Nature has given To the
Southern states of the republic a
great monopoly on the production Of
cotton, but the financial reward that
should follow such situation can
never be fully realized until the
Southern cotton farmer makes his
cotton his surplus crop When he
does that he viii be the financial king
of the world. Until he does it he is
its slave"
Governor Hardwick said it was his
purpose to suggest TO the legislature
at an early date legislation to assist
the farmer to find and reach a ready
cash market for all other crops that
this state can and does produce other
than cotton He declared that when
that is done the farmers will have
real diversifcation in Georgia and
cotton will really become it's surplus
crop.
In this connection, Governor
Hardwiek declared that Georgia has
recently been indicted, most unfortii-
nately, and he thought unjustly, III

treating the negro, for peonage. and
for other kindred crimes. He said

CALLSFoR TAX
BILLS DEFEAT
Present Law Declared
Satisfactory To Vast
Majority And Fair

The mayor and Gig council of Am
ercus went on re@rd officially at
meeting Friday afternoon, sum
moncd for another purpose, as op-
posed to the proposed repeal Of the
present city tax valuation law which
prohibits arbitration, and called upon
Sumter county's representative III
the legislature to withdraw or de-
feat the bill referredNto, and that the
law governing our lily in this re-
spect be not disturb o.
The resolution, drawn by City At
torney Lane, acting by previous
agreement, was adopted without a
dissenting vote and without discus
sion. Present were Mayor Sheppard
and Aldermen Taylor, Burke, War
rem and Mashburn. absent were All
dermen Poole and Allison. It de-
clares thai the repeal of the present
law, the plan being to restore the OLD
law providing for arbitration of city
values for taxation purposes, would
prove detrimental to the best inter-
ests of the city, and that "the law
under which we are now operating is
just, equitable and faW to all taxpay-
ers, and has proven satisfactory to
the vast majority of Sthe citizens of
the city"
The text of the resolution, which
will be transmitted to the representa-
tives and senator representing this
district, follows:
Whereas, it has come to our at
tentisn that bill has been drawn
and will be introduced into the gen
cral assembly and put upon its pas
sage at its present session, repealiug
the act ef1920 relative to assessing
values of property within this city
for the purpose of taxation.
"And, whereas we are sure that
repeal of said act would prove detri-
mental to the best interests of the
city land the law under which we are
now operating is just, equitable and
fair to all tax payers, and has prov
en- satisfactory to the vast majority
OF the citizens of the city,
"Therefore, be it resolved by the
mayor and city council of Americus,
in called meeting assembled, that we
specially request our Sumter coun-
ty representatives., together with all
other members of the genral assem-
bly,, to withdraw or defeat the bill
referred to, and that the law govern
ing our city in this respect be not
disturbed"
