Tax on Education Faces Long Wait in Legislature
A Georgia constitutional amendment to exempt direct educational endowments from taxation failed to gain two thirds in the final day, though it drew more than double the support in the House on two votes. The measure, backed by Chancellor Hill and successor Barrow, would apply to endowments of all educational institutions, but not real estate, and aims to place schools on par with the state university. The piece argues for renewed push in the next session, noting inequities between white and Negro institutions and urging coordinated effort by southern legislators and business groups to protect regional growth against restrictive railroad legislation.

The Man Behind The Gun a Southern Banker Leader
The piece argues that in wartime markets the South depends on proactive local bankers and business leaders, especially in small towns. It highlights S V Brown of Albany as an example who urges cooperation to keep markets open, warehouse cotton, and provide credit while avoiding cross-town incentives. The call is for interior banks to back producers and for mutual support among Southern towns to weather the European crisis.
