COMINCS ARE FRANKLY DISCUSSED BY
CE0RCIANS IN new VOL. JUST PUBLISHED

mineral producing states OF the west
and middle west"
JP. Miller, managing editor of the
Savannah Morning News, discussing
Georgia's coastal and mountain re-
sorts, declares: Few states in the
union can offer the seeker of rest and
recreation as varied program OF en-
tcrtainmcnt in the summer as Geor-
gia. We have everything from SURF
bathing in the ocean to trout hsning
in cold mountain streams. we nave
majestic mountain scenery and miles
and miles of the prettiest ocean
beaches conceivable. We are blessed
with a, temperate climate, which is
neither too hot nor too cold and we
can please all tastes in recreatlonal
amusefnents. Some states boast OF
their mountains, some of their ocean
beaches, some of the fishing, some OF
their lakes and rivers, some Of their
water falls, some of their sea fishing
but in Georgia we have got them
ALL"
Edgar Watkins, prominent attor-
new. urging the need of real cor
narration code, declares; "Our cor
noration laws are little more than the
archaic English Common Law and
have not kept pace with the growth
Of business. Because such laws are
not ADEQUATE, many businesses are
forced to and do go to other states In
order to obtain charter powers SUIT
able to their needs. This should not
he. 1t is not believed that Georgia
should bid for the right to issue char
tiers, as have some states, but GER
tainlv our laws should provide the
needed powers with proper protec-
ton both to the public and corpora
tons"
Charles J. Haden, head of Geor-
gia's illiteracy commission, urging
that Georgia's youth be given oppor-
tunitv for careers in their native
state, declares: Every year IN
Georgia is turning out well equipped
Young men and young women who
are being lost to the State because
we do not give the mequal opportunl-
ties for advancement in this state
with the opportunities they can ind
in some of the states of the east and
middle west. A brainy Georgian,
working in Georgia, familiar with
Georgia conditions, is equal to at
least two brainy people from other'l
states who do not understand our
methods and traditions. We must
learn how to keep Georgia brains in
Georgia"
DR.. A. V. Henry, head OF the
ceramics department Of Georgia
Tech, says: Georgia has an oppor-
tunity to become the leading state IN
the union in the manufacture Of ire
brick and kindred products and can
fill an important place in the manu-
facture of other products using clay
as a basis. While Georgia clay de-
posts are among the finest in the
country think the most practical
way to utilize them is in manutac-
turing fire bricks and other refrac-
tories, in making tiles of all kinds
and in manufacturing various COM
mercisl articles"
JAMES A. Dozier, State Tax Com
missioner, says: "There are three
great outstanding tax exemption
facts which citizens and enterprises
in Georgia enjoy that no other state
in our part of the country, so far as
I know, ca nclaim.. Georgia has no
income tax. Georgia has no inheri-
lance tax. New enterprises are eK-
empted from city and county taxa
ton for five years"
