Special to the Banner reports Georgia faces a growing treasury deficit as past legislatures overrun revenue. The state school fund has been used as a kite to cover bills, delaying teacher pay and worsening cash flow. If new appropriations occur, the deficit could widen, forcing possible borrowing and executive veto actions to restrain spending.
Atlanta dispatch reports the Georgia legislature will convene June 26 for a second session of 1911-12 with a business tone and expected adjournment around early July. The first measure on the House calendar, the Tippen bill to limit beverages to 0.5 percent alcohol, is unlikely to move before July 7. Debate looms over dog tax repeal, four-year county terms, and a ten-day biennial legislative session proposal. The constitution amendment to elect U S senators by the people faces opposition over federal supervision concerns. The state primary is forecast for August 20, with adjournment near August 14 if legislative days are counted.
