Platform Adopted
The platform adopted by the State
Democratic convention, after felici-
tating the people of Georgia upon the
prospects of business administra-
ton, declares that "a business adj
ministration would seem to properly
start with reviewing the recommends
tions of the state auditor with regard
to the stae's finances"
THAT official" says the platform,
points out that there are over 70
general collecting agencies or groups
handling the states money. These
agencies pay this money into differ
ent departments and the state auditor
says whereas the stae's. taxes going
to the state treasurer amount to $11, =
600, 900. there are more than $22,-
900, 900 collected all told, and that
there is no way to check up on the
total. We recommend therefore at
the outset that the state should have
a financial department for its own
affairs operated by the state treas
urer and that all the income and out
go should be handled through this de-
partment under proper vouchers.
The platform expresses the opin-
ion that the political power of the
agricultural department should be
stripped from that organization and
that it should be SO organized in its
