Speed speaking for the Board of County Commissioners stat cd he til 8lire the Board would act in all fairness with the public and themselves. Dr. Fleming addressed the meeting along the line "lete pay or do with out", taking the position that we should hare Just so much schools, roads or anything else that we could ray for and no more. He stated that one's home and life comes before anything else. He Mrocated a tax on persons farming who mads less than seventy-five per cent of their living from the farm he operates. Rer. O. W. Hay statedthe resolu tions represented the best thought and understanding the Committee had upon the present conditions. He made a plea to the end that the schools he the last thing that is cut, but stated that there are certain bounds to which the Commissioners should not go, and that we hare reached that ndw. The Commissioners can't afford to penalise the next generation, ac cording to the speaker unless It is absolutely necessary. He stated the Salaries of the County officials were set In 1919 when cotton was bringing 40 cents a pound and tobacco fl.00.

Lumpkin stat ed he was in sympathy with the peo ple on the farm, that most of us had to cut expenses up to half In two. We have come to a pay day with nothing to pay. In government we have got to do exactly like Individuals, cut expenses. We are now where we were twenty years ago, if net worth leas. He expressed himself as being In favor of a ?sales tax, taxing for eign corporations and stocks and lands, and cutting expanses beginning at the top. He also expressed a very earnest desire to do what the people of Franklin County want done.
