stituticnal amendment to limit al
valorem levies in counties and
municipalities to Is mills except
taxes Tor the purpose Of paying of
their present bonded indebtedness.
THE great oppression Of taxa
ton ign Georgia today, is not state
but that of counties and towns"
Mr.. New declared. The features
of his measure, he said, are that
it will equalize rates between the
counties and make cur tax laws
more stable"
1t will encourage economy in
the expenditure of cognty and city
money. 1t will prevent a few 10
cal men from lepying excessive
rates on the people for county pur-
poses" TO-:
One objection that has been rails
ed to the measure, Mr.. New said
Is that more revenue woald 20 TO
the state under the present five
mill levy because the counties with
their levying power restricted
would resort to increased vaiua-
wis "a pAVPCA ~ W IIiSsGeSS lllSlL
returns,
But Mr.. New called attention to
the provisions Of his measure that
would give the common schools one
half Of increased revenue accru-
ing to the state "AnG," ne added,
"as 1T poor counties draw back
more than they pay to the state
this defect is really point in its
favor, as it would help the cause
Of education and the poor counties
instead Of the rich ones.
I believe in the 'pay-as-you-go
doctrine and this bill would do
more thany any one thac could be
passed"
"a law could be enacted for this
purpose, Mr.. New added but /
hink limitation on counties ana
towns should be written into the
constitution so that future nIegis-
latures could not be varying the
rates every summer ard SO that in
dustries as we'll as individuals when
considering Georgia as location
would find it fixed in the consti-
tuition and not a mere statute"
