Hardwick opens campaign with economy plan for Georgia
In Quitman July 19 Governor Hardwick outlined his re election bid and detailed state finances. He cited a 3 million deficit, debt burdens, and the need to discount five years of Western and Atlantic rail rents to cover arrears owed to Confederate pensioners. He defended a one cent per gallon gasoline tax expected to raise up to 1 million annually, argued for tighter appropriations, and promoted an audited, budget based system to modernize state finances. He noted lawmakers reduced 1922 appropriations and praised expert reviews of departments for retrenchment.
