Attorney-General Declines
To Pull Jourral Qut of Hole
Says it Is Improper for Him
to Give Decision.
Governor Brown’s Appoin
tees Hold Good.
The attorney-general cites the
law under which his opinions may
be asked and obtained, and plants
himself squarely upon it in de
clining Professor Pond’s request,
via Superintendent Brittain.
The attorney-general’s letter
follows:
“I am in receipt of jour letter
of the 12th inst. cenveying the
request of Professor Jere M.
Pound for my opinion ‘‘as to the
validity of his membership on the
state board of education’’ under
the facts recited.
“Replying thereto, I begtosay
that the constitution of the state
makes it ¢ the duty of the attor
ney-general to act as the legal
adviser of the executive depart
ment.’’ To render an opinion on
the question presented by Prof.
Pound would require that I re
view and pass upon the legality
of an executive order of the gov
ernor and certain of his acts as
chairman of the state board of
education. To do this in the-ab
gence of a request from the gov
ernor would be an improper use
of my office. Indeed, lam with
out authority of law to give the
opinion unless a request for the
same should come from the gov
ernor. The duty of the attorney
ney general in this regard ia pre
scribed by statute, which is pre
seribed as follows:
““ ‘lt is the duty of the attorney
general when required so to do
by the governor.
“ “To give his opinion in writ
ing, or otherwise, on any ques
tion of law connected with the
interest of the state, or with the
duties of any of the depart
ments.” ”’
I do not, therefore, deem it
proper for me to render the opin
ion requested by Prof. Pound. .
. Yours very truly,
T. S. FELDER,
Attorney-General.

New Inspectors
Are Appointcd
Commissioner Conner Gives
Out List ¢f Appecinments.
The six fertilizer inspectors
who vnder the new law are to
devote their entire time to the
work and who are to receive a
salary of sl¢o per month each,
were appointed by Co nmissioner
of Agriculture J. J. Conner and
their commissions issued.
In addition the Commission
er appointed twelve of the new
oil inspectors. There will be 130
to 140 of these oil inspectors, one
being located at each station
where oil is kept in tank in bulk.
Under the new law the fees of
the oil inspectors were materially
reduced, but at points where gas
oline and naphtha are kept they
will have considerable more work
to do, as these are also subject to
inspection, and their incomes will
not be so largely reduced.
Both the oil and fertilizer in
spectors are appointed for two
years and cannot be removed ex
cept malfeasance in office or some
other like cause warranting the
removal of a county officer.
The six long-term fertilizer in
spectors are as follows:
J. E. Brown, of Newnan.
Louis Garfunkel, of Savannah.
W. D. Brumbeloe, of Barnes
ville.
M. H. Field, of Marietta.
W. W. Roberts, of Cartersville.
In acdition to the foregoing
there are forty short-term inspec
tors to be appointed, who will
serve only four months in each
year, but who will hold their
commissions for a period of
two years. Commissioner Con
nor stated he would make these
appointments between now and

The Shame of Atlanta
Pauperizing Her De
serving Poor
Atlanta, Ga,—The unusually
large number of requests for books
and clothing for school children
made at tle Associated Charities
Ihis week may result in an agita
tion for free text-books to be
furnished by the city.
More than 170 children were
furnished with beoks by the chari
ties office and a like oumber was
given clothes. This is by far the
largest number of white children
who have beer: aided in this man
ner 1n Atlanta, and is an indica
tion to social workers that the city
authortties will eventually have
to cope with the problem officialy,
On this score Joseph Logan,
secretary of the Associated Char
ties, has this to say:
“While the increase in children
dependent upon the public for
education has been rapid. it has
only kept pace with the growth of
the city, Atlanta will see more of
it in the future,
““Whether it will be practical
for the city to attempt to furnish
school books free to all pupils]
can not say, but I believe that
the city should undertake to equip
those pupils whose parents are un
anle to provide even suitable
clothes for their children to wear
to school.”
