Ga. Schools Adopt
Official Song
Irving Berlin wrote it. Kate
Smith introduced it to the world
over the radio. Now Georgia is
adopting it as it official school
song. The song is “God Bless
America.”
State Superintendent M. D. Col
lins has written county and city
school superintendents throughout
Georgia requesting that pupils be
taught the words. Memeographed
copies are being sent to every
school. Citizenship and patrio
tism will be stressed' in Georgia
classrooms throughout the ensuing
year, Dr. Collins said.
The Education Department an
nounced that young unmarried
men teachers are submitting their
resignations to co-operate with
the National Defense Program.
Some will become members of
the National Guard and Officers’
Reserve Corps, while others will
take part in the vocational train
ing program allied with defense
activities, the NYA defense pro
gram and the aviation defense
program.
Georgia’s teachers, superinten
lents and school officials will aid
defense activity by helping aliens
file registration forms in accord
ance with the national law, Dr
Collins added.
FIRST 4-H ASTRONOMY CLUB
The Chatham County 4-H As
tronomy Club is the only organ
ized group of 4-H star gazers in
the United States. These seacoast
club members have been looking
at the planets as a group since
December 16, 1939. The purpose of
the club is to enable the members
to learn something about the stars
along with other varied things
they derive from 4-i. Club work.
Not only do the 4-H boys and girls
study the stars, but they also pre
sent plays, take imaginary trips to
the planets, conduct “Dr. I. Q.’s”
on questions concerning the stars
and have started a library.

Mrs. Helma Marchand Cohen swears to the truth of her statements *s
she complies in the Brooklyn post office with the new federal law requir
ing registration and fingerprinting of all non-citizens. Mrs. Cohen, 31*
came to America from Germany. Wife of a mailman and mother of two
children, she thinks the registration law, passed as a national defense
act, is a good precautionary measure.
Injunction Granted Against Chain

An effort which began in

urer to refund taxes collected un
der protest from local cnain stores.

here Tuesday by Superior Judge
W. E. Thomas, of Valdosta, has
apparently convinced city com
missioners that it is useless to at
tempt to carry the fight further.
William DeL. Worsley, city attor
ney, told the commissioners fol
lowing Judge Thomas’ decision,
that the decree “knocks out this
system of taxing chains.”
The injnnction against collection
of the tax came following a hear- 1
jng on Argust 19 before Judge j
Thomas here, and was on the pro
posal passed by the city commis
sioners to place a graduated tax
which had a maximum of $400 per
store on all chains in Columbus.
The decision is of far reaching
importance because several other
cities in Georgia were watching
developments at Columbus with an
idea in mind of imposing similar
taxes if the courts held the local
levy valid.
On four particular grounds,
Judge Thomas held that the city !
could'not collect the tax which had j j
been scaled down from a maxi
mum of $1200 per store to a max
imum of $400 per store after the |
State Supreme Court last year had 1
invalidated the larger tax.
The grounds upon which the in- i
junction was granted were as fol
lows:
1. The ordinance violates the
fully established principle that
municipal taxes must be reason
able.
2. The ordinance violates the
fully established rule in this state
that the power of a municipality
to classify a business for taxation
does not authorize the municipal
ity to classifly and tax a business
and then to attempt to classify and
tax separately that which in its
nature is a mere incident of the
business so taxed and which could
not exist independently of busi
ness so taxed.
3. The ordinance violates the
uniformity clause of the State con
stitution.
4. It is also opinion that the
power of municipal corporations:
to classify for taxation does not
authorize a municipality in this
State to take as the basis for clas
sification if taxpayers businesses
operated outside the municipality
and through the United States.
The rather brief and important
decision elaborated on these four
points and gave authority for cita
tion of each.
The plaintiffs in the case in
which the interests of all chain
stores were involved were also the
plaintiffs in the previous case in
which the State Supreme Court
had held that the proposed tax was
“unreasonable, arbitrary, discrim
inatory and confiscatory.” In that
action the late Judge C- F. Laugh
lin refused to grant a permanent
injunction but his decision was in
validated by the Supreme Court.
In a similar case from Augusta,
Ga., the supreme court upheld the
decision of Superior Judge R. N.
Hardeman of Louisville, in valid
ating an identical tax. In addition
to finding the Augusta tax un
reasonable and excessive, Judge
Hardeman questioned the consti
tutionality of such taxes and de
clared he was restrained from
holding the tax unconstitutional
only by the fact that the U. S. Su
preme Court had upheld such tax
es. He took occasion, however, to
question the wisdom of the U. S.
Supreme Court in its decision,
pointing out that Federal legisla
tion enacted had substantially al
tered its original findings.
More interest in winter cover
crops is being manifested this sea
son by Georgia farmers than evei
b-fore in the state’s history.
