Georgia Is In Need
Of Tax Evangelists

ATLANTA, Ga, Georgia no.
only needs tax equilizers but tax ev
angelists, to convert a generation of
tax evaders and tax dodgers, Repre-
sentative William G.. Sutlive of Chat
ham county told members of the house
of representatives last week in arguing
against proposed changes in the state
system.
Il am opposed to any radical change
in the tax system OF this state" Rep
resentative Sutlive declared. "If we
can get the people to make fair and
honest tax returns, there will be little
need for new laws. There is no use
passing new tax laws when the pres
ent ones are not enforced"
Discrimination
Mr.. Sutlivc read figures from the
last report of the comptroller general.
showing that coal and wood dealers
in Chatham County paid an occupa-
tional tax of $50 while Fulton county
coal and wood dealers paid $50 and
Bib County wood and coal dealers
nothing at all.
"Rich men don't die in Georgia since
we adopted an inheritance tax" Mr..
Sutlive said. "Only twenty-four coun-
ties out of 10 reported the collection
of any inheritance taxes at all last
year and, Judging by the same records,
there arc barber shop and automobile
dealers in only 129 counties. Only sew
Ell counties have lumber dealers, UNI
der the reports of occupational taxes
Mr.. Sutlive declared that it takes a
man halliday 20 pay his poll tax, and
few have that much time to waste in
visiting the tax collector, the ordinary
and few other county officials. He
declared that a man who can dodge
taxes on visible property certainly can
dodge an income tax, with the aid of
awyers and expert accountants.
Neither God nor nature has chang
ed in Georgia" said Mr. Sutlivc "The
sun shines just as brightly now as it
did on Bob Toombs and Ben Hill The
birds sing as sweetly, the streams rip
pie as unsteady, the mountains rise
as majestically, the soil bears as boun-
tifuly The only thiog that has chang
ed l. the men who are seeking read
justments We must create a senti
mcnl for doing our full duty to our
stare Work and optimism will bring
happiness Tax legislation can't"
