GOOD ROADS SYSTEM IS
STRONGLY ADVOCATED
Against Increase in or Any Addi-
tional Taxes and Does Not
Look With Favor on Proposed
Income Tax, Saying Georgia
is Burdened to Fullest Extent

simultaneously with the opening of
Mr.. Walkers campaign headquarters
yesterday, copies of his public state
ment celebrating upon the principles
announced in his Savannah speech are
being distributed and follows:
Fair and impartial trial has been
given the tax equalization law. 1t has
utterly failed to equalize the taxes and
should be repealed.
If nominated, I win request COM
mission of the safest and sanest busi-
ness men and farmers of the state to
join the Finance Committees of the
House and Senate to study the tax
problems and suggest amendments
necessary to enforce the old tax laws
under which our state progressed so
rapidly, or substitute for the present
law providing a fair and equitable sys-
tenn, under which all property, invisl-
BILE as we'll as visible shall bear, its
just burden of the expenses of the
Estate.
2.-Reduction of taxes. | am oppos-
ed to any additional taxes. I am op-
posed to any Constitutional amend
ment seeking to increase the present
limit upon the power of the Governor
to levy taxes. I am opposed to the
income tax, or any other additional
tax burden I favor strict economy
All appropriations and expenses of. the
State not absolutely necessary must
be cut, not only "to the bone but ''to
| the marrow. in order to carry the ad
| ditional burdens of attorenys' fees
commissions and interest on the tran
saction whereby $2,S35 100000 was Dor
rowed to get the state out of debt
selling the states income for five
years in advance.
| 3.--Public roads. I am favor of g
good public road system and endorse
the recent act of Congress appropriat
ling $4,000, 100000 annually to the state
of Georgia for the purpose of improv
ing our highways. and as required by
1.-THE Act of Congress, the present gen
/, eral assembly should enact Legislation
necessary to match the same, and il
further appropriations are passed by
Congress, favor the state contribut
| ing an equal amount so as to ohtair
the full benefit of the national approp
riatiors, to pay the expenses of col
lection and maintain the roads, the
automobile tag tag to be credited or
this fund as now provided by the state
law. Believing such provision to be
adequate, at present, in view of the
hard times, oppose the $75 200, 900 OF
bond issue.
4.-Lobbying. A professional lobby
should be suppressed whether it oper
ates in the capitol or in the Kimball
House. denounce the wholesale
