pass laws which would prohibit a
planter from planting a full crop
of cotton has been indicated by
the action of two states where
extra sessions were called for
that purpose, Texas and South
Carolina. The legislature in both
states defeated such a bill as bi -
ing arbitrary, too greatly inter
fering with personal liberty and
unconstitutional. Such a session
would have cost Georgia many
thousands of dollars and the legis
lature probably would have de
feated the bill just as in other
states.
The governor has issued a for
mal statement showing his rea-
ons for declining to call a special
session, which is illuminating.
He cites passages from state and
federation constitution to show
that such action would violate his
oath of office, and furthermore
slates frankly that he does nol
believe the proper remedy for
the conditions is to be found in an
arbitrary law such as was pro
posed. He says the farmer is not
asking for such a law and he (the
governor) would not be the man
to force such a measure upon him
The Eight Amendmeuts
Eight constitutional amend
ments are to be voted on in the
State election this^year. I These
amendments were passed by the
Legislature in due form, and are
to be submitted to the people foi
ratification. In the event they
receive a majority vote, at the
general election, they automat
ically become a part of the con
stitution of the State.
There are four new county
amendments, all of which are
more or less familiar to the peo
ple. They create Barrow, Ba
con, Candler and Evans counties.
Another is to give the author
ity to each county to abolish the
office of county treasurer if de
sired. This puts the matter in
the hands of the separate cc un
ties and, in some instances, is a
law which is badly needed. The
office of Treasurer, in some coun
ties carries with it but a little
work that seems almost unneces
sary, and it likewise carries a
fairly fat sum in fees.
There us an amendme nt to in
crease the salary of the judge of
the Macon district to $5,000. It
is now three thousand dollars.
The matter could just as well be
settled in Macon, if it did not in
volve a constitutional point. The
State at lnrge is not interested in
its success or failure, because it
knows so little of the merit of the
case.
An important amendment is
that to extend the term of office
of county officers from two to
four years. That is a question
on which every man in Georgia
should exercise his franchise, ac
cording to his particular views.
In somejeases, it is almost essen
tial to good government that this
be done, in others, it does’nt
seem to be necessary.
The other is an extension of
the terms of the members of the
General Assembly, until their
successors are qualified. This
does away with controversies
arising as to the status of the
Legislature, between the time
one set of legislators is elected,
and the time for the convening
of the next General Assembly.
