UP TO THEIR OLD
TRICKS ONCE MORE

Both Democratic and Republican
candidates for the next Congress
are reported to be planning to run
on the personal popularity of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
1t is an old trick. Republican
candidates ran ON it during Roose-
velt's administration, at a time when
he was worse hated in. Congress
than any president within memory.
President Coolidge is probably not
hated even in Congress. But he is
not popular there.
Perhaps it is the only place where
he is not popular.
So the congressman, recognizing
the band wagon, are preparing to
get aboard it.
Where they are Republicans and
their pretense of Standing by the
President" can be proved false,
Democratic opponents viii take ad-
vantage of that opportunity.
They will allow it to be inferred
that they, if elected, viii come near
er to supporting him than these par
ticular Republicans.
Then. if any of them do happen
to get elected, they viii be the first
to knife him. 1t is the same OH

very small income, but we ought
also to put in the constitution
clause forbidding the enactment
Of an income tax.
The two most oppressive taxes
that have ever been levied in this
country have been the income and
inheritance taxes. They pcnaIize
industry, frugaIity and thrift.
They are a direct Encouragement
to labor and to the inauguration
of new enterprises and to the
hope every man has of accumuIat-
ing something and leaving it to
his postcrity'
Representative Burgin has
made an intensive study Of both
the income and inheritance tax
and speaks with authority on the
subject. He believes that what
Georgia needs is not more in
come but less wastage. There
is no earthly doubt as to the ac-
curacy Of that opinion.
IF we would apply business
principles, cut out extravaganza
and graft, abolish useless boards,
inspectors and other State en-
pIoyes, things would be vastly
different in Georgia. A com
plete budget system, for all de-
partments and Institutions, bas-
ed on their needs and followed
by the Legislature is highly nee
essary.
There are number of insti-
tutions in the State sorely in
need of larger appropriations
for new equipment and build
ings. These should be granted,
but it IS the height Of folly to
attempt to make permanent i'm
provements, such as these, 5ut
Of current revenue.
Governor Walker has suggest
ed a bond issue for this purpose
and his suggestion should be
complied with. Georgia insti-
tutions of higher learning have
never had anything like what
they need in the way Of equip
ment and buildings and we can
not have these until they are
financed over a number of years
through bond issues.
Other States have found it
necessary to use bonds, Why
shouldn't Georgia follow this
good example? Every city that
has made progress has resorted
to bonds, The individual who
builds his home, 90 times out of
a hundred, uses his credit. He
pays so much down and borrows
the rest, paying back over a Sc
ries Of years.
The arguments for an income
tax come largely from those who
are attempting to supply a suffi-
cient amount Of income to meet
the demands of the State. Many
have said their objection to a
repeal Of the inheritance tax was
that the State needs this tax
money,

money, and, to say the least, we
shall have sufficient income for
the next year or two.
It is out of the question for
those now bearing the tax bur
den to shoulder a heavier load.
Many Of Georgia farmers are
staggering under a tax that is
we'll nigh breaking them. Nler-
chants have paid and paid
taxes and special taxes have
been added from year to year
by City, State and Federal Gov
ernmcnts.
Outside capital will not come
into a State that is too heavily
taxed. These and other rea-
sons persuade us to believe that
the peak has been reached and it
IS not MORE taxes, but LESS
taxes that is necessary if we are
to progress along with our sister
States.

Two Oppressive Taxes

The two most oppressive taxes
ever levied IS the income tax
and the tax on inheritances, de
clares Hon. Joe s. Burgin, repre-
sentative in the Legislature from
Marion county. in a letter to the
limes-Recorder
Both such taxes ''pcnalize IN
dustry frugality and Thrift, says
the gentleman fro1 Marion, and
he has introduced a bill in The
Legislature blouse Bill No. 52l,
which declares that No tax up
on ;nherjtances nor upon incomes
from residents OF citizens Of this
State shall be levied by the
State Of Georgia. The bill is
a constitutional amendment
which will be submitted to the
people of the State if it is passed
by the General Assembly.
In discussing his bill, Repre-
sentative Burgin says:
In my Judgment the worse
thing Georgia could do at this
time would be to levy an income
tax The most disastrous tax is
an income tax. It is tax not
only on property and the income
therofrom, but it is a tax on en-
crgy, on thrift, on productiveness
and active business generally. 1t
is the greatest blow to industry
that can be given any country.
The most concrete illustration of
this which we have today is the
prosperity Of Florida and the un-
precedented flow Of wealth into
that State. No one can deny that
the greater part Of influx Of
this money is due to the promise
(Which has been written into the
Florida constitution) of no in
come tax and no inheritance tax.
THE Federal Income Tax has
caused billions of capital to be
invested IN noll-CaAaDIe D0hdS'
The effect is driving capital out
of active business, and is disas-
trous in every way. There is
rank discrimination in not taxing
securities issued by the subordi-
nate agencies of the Government,
and at the same time taxing Sc
curities issued by the private
wealth and industry of the coun-
try. By eXempting these tax eX-
enpt securities, our States, Coun-
ties and Municipalities have been

i'm quantities much greater than
prudence would have dictated.
