Fair and Stabilized Tax System First Problem
Confronting Georgia, He Says, Urging
Cooperation Of People in Solving
States Economic Problems

ATLANTA, June 30.-Clifford
NJ. Walker, of Monroe, in assum-
ing the office of chief executive
of Georgia today, pledged his adj
ministration ito the Ibetterment Of
living conditions, physical and
moral; to the cordial cooperation
with any commission or other or
ganization in the serious study of
these problems" and "in finding
the solution therefor"
In his inaugural address, Cover
nor Walker declared that he rec
ognized that the enactment of a
fair and stabilized tax system was
the first problem confronted by MS
administration, and urged the CO.
operation of the people in solving
the economic problems Of the state.
On the question Of law enforce
ment, he uttered a plea that the
people of the state respect the laws
and bring their grievances before
the legislature through their repre-
sentatives for correction.
Repeal Equalization.
Governor Walker declared that
a majority of the people have ex-
pressed opposition to the tax equal
ization law and that the first duty
of the legislature is to repeql the
measure. The legislature viii, of
course, then promptly turn It's at
tention to the enactment of a more
satisfactory substitute before il
completes the Iabors Of the year"
he said.
Georgia is tagging behind other
states in constructive progress, he
said, declaring the first duty is the
enactment of fair and stabilized
tax system and pointing out that
however unselifsh, however patri-
otto your approahc, however just
your legislation, you'll be criticised
by those whom you tax; good
friends may be estranged if forced
to pay a fair share of the expense
of the state; your service probably
will be discredited but this is a
time for sacrifice; your state to-
day sounds a call as clear and as
vital as the cell -t4-- r. NC lllcD-
battlefield" ~
He termed the general property
tax a failure because Of it's failure
to reach intangible personal prop
erty-nOtes, accounts, mortgages.
bonds and other credits.
Will Bring Needed Revenue.
The enactment of such tax laws
as will bring the proper revenue
into the Golfers Of the state will
result in a consolidated, high-grade,
nine months school in every coun-
tny district in The state, highways
upon which the boys and girls can
be transported to and from these
schools, normal schools which will
furnish trained leaders for these
institutions, technical colleges 10
prepare the youths of The state for
the proper utilization Of Georgia's
resources and agriculture colleges
which would lead tho youth back
to the farms oe the staae. Agri-
cultural and industrial develop
ment would go hand in hand in

Declares People Should Have
Vote on Amy Amendment to
Charter Before Adoption

w. M. Jones, prominent whole
saler here, was one of the speak
ers before the Kiwanis club ban
quet at the Windsor hotel Friday.
He spoke to the club regarding the
proposed amendment of the city

Before any change is made in
our city charter, the proposed
change should go to the people for
referendum" Mr.. Jones 5aid. II
am not addressing you on the ques-
tion of whether the proposed
change is wise or unwise, but on
a principle-the principle of first
submitting any change in city
charter to the people before it be-
comes a law.
"The charter is all that stands
between the people and corruption.
| have the utmost faith in our Of
ficials, but we cannot tell what may
come to pass in the future.
Il want you to think over what
/ have, said for it is my opinion
that no change at any time should
be made in the Americus charter
without submitting that change to
the people fer ratification" con-
cluded Mr. Jones.
Mrs. Lottie Livingston, who has
been acting as assistant secretary
of the Kiwanis club, resigned Fri
day and was given a rising vote of
thanks by the Kiwanians at their
luncheon in the Windsor.

played a violin Solo for the olub,
accompanied by Mss Melva Ciarl.
Miss Clark sang a new Kiwanis
