Have the Right
Men This Time

1t has been many a year since
Georgia had a legislature which
was so seriously determined, as
the present General Assembly is,
to hold down appropriations.
The appeals from different
departments for more money is
falling on ears which may be
sympathetic but so far the sym.
pathy is chiefly for the taxpay-
err, as it should he, according Il
some Of the leading member Of
the assembly,.
The exposure Ct the grca
growth in expenses CT recent
years has been widely published
in the newspapers and the p 0
PIE, say many lawmakers, are
demanding rigid economy.
AS a rule. legislation is shaped
by the committees. Many |;
trick has been put over il the
past by complacent committees,
This year, the committees are
hardhoiled when it comes to
spending money.
1t seems to be generally under
stood that it will be bad politics
to loost larger appropriations
this summer. Thanks to the
newspapers and especially the
weeklies, the people are watch
ing the expenses because large
appropriations mean higher
taxes, it is pointed out.
In connection with the bill
which has been introduced to
repeal the law which created the
class Of pensioners, it is stated
that while there are 1900 On
the states pension rolls, there
are less than 1000 Confederate
veterans still living in Georgia.

The counties OF Decatur, Seminole,
