Injunction Filed to Prevent
Collection of Near Beer Tax
Attorney Dunbar, Repre
senting Local Dealers 1
Started Proceedings on
Thurs day Morning
Against Officials—The
Points Set Forth.
Attorney C. E. Dunbar, represent
ing Mr. John S. Carswell and 44 oth
er dealers in near beer Thursday
morning filed an Injunction before
Judge Henry C. Hammond against
Comptroller-General William A.
Wright. Ordinary Alexander R. Wal
ton £jid Sheriff John R Clark. The
injunction is to keep them from en
forcing the near-beer tax law that
was paskhd by the last legislature
and approved by Governor Snillh,
Sept. sth, 1908.
The agreement that was reached
by ..ttorney General John C Hart
and Attorney C. E. Dunbar was that
all the plantiffs who were represent
ed by him were to deposit with Or
dinary Walton, as individuals, a cer
tified check for the amount of the
tax. and the checks were not to be
cashed nntil after the test case, or If
the plaintiffs won the case the checks
were to be returned. Ordinary Wal
; ton has the checks »nd their total
value amounts to $9,900.
The Injunction of Mr. Dunbar con
tains 29 paragraphs and fills 20 type
written pages of legal cap. He. as
attorney for the defendant, Mr. John
S. Carswell, sets forth why the law
that was recently passed Is void.
On October the 13th Ordinary Walton
notified Mr. Dunbar that he was going
to enforce the act. The jilaintiff, Mr.
John S. Carswell, went to the ordin
ary and offered him that part of the
amount of the license which would
have been .due from the date of the
passing of the law until December
31st, but the ordinary would not ac
cept, it. He then offered him the to
tal amount of the tax, or supposed
tax. If he would give him a license
from Sept. sth, 1908, to Sep'. 4th,
1909. The ordinary refused to ac
cept the money. The plaintiff there
fore, through his attorney, enters the
injunction.
In the second paragraph of the in
junction the plaintiff claims that he
does not owe any tax or license fee
I for dealing in near-beer, and that If
funds should be collected for said *ax
the money should be used for the
school fund and not for the convict
fund, and that If it Is used for a con
vict fund it Is unlawful.
The Injunction further sets forth
that neither the comptroller general
or the ordinary has the power to Is
sue a ft.fa If the tax It not paid and
the sheriff has no power to execute
the fi fa by attaching the property
of the plaintiff, and If such Is done
I it is unlawful.
It further savs that to be constitu
tional the taw h’d to be made after
the enactment of a hill providing for
the disposition of the convicts, where
It was made two weeks or more be
fore such e tew w»s passed
The plaintiff then quotes several
sections of the Oeorgia civil code that
the law conflicts with. The reasons
for the conflietlon are set forth, such
as: A man rennot sell or buy what
he pleases; he cannot do with his
own property as he wishes, etc.
Thr following Is a list of the codes
'hat the plaintiff claims the |-<w c,in
ti,ms with: Tim fourteenth amjk.l
merit o f the Constitution of the Unit
ed States (civil Cod* 6030). With
Georgia code- Article I .Section 1,
and paragraphs 2 and 3, in Civil
Codes 5659 and 5700 Article 1, Sec
tion 1. paragraph 23, Civil Cod* 5720
when construed with Article 4, Sec
tion 1. paragraph I, of the civil Code
5831, and with Article 4. Section 5,
paragraphs 1 an 2, Civil Cod* iki 2.
