Georgia Governor E D Rivers urged the legislature to adopt either a one percent gross income tax or a three percent sales tax to balance the state budget. He said the plan could eliminate ad valorem levies and about 200 nuisance taxes, addressing a deficit around eight and a half million against twenty six and a half million in annual appropriations. He proposed a one hundred dollar monthly exemption for gross income tax and noted exemptions under a sales tax might raise the rate to four percent.
