ATLANTA, July 8.—The Australian j Mr. Feld
ballot bill cam.' Into collision with the that voteri
constitution of the state today. The bill ] or m J l
provides among other things that the
counties shall pay for the booths. The
term ’ booth” may be construed to
mean almost anything from a Fourth
of July lemonade stand to a bungalow.
At least some of the members seem to
fear It. There Is such absurd talk as
that the booths would cost some of the disfranchised,
counties 35.000.
With this sort of Impression In the
air Mr. Wilson of Clay made the state
ment thnt the bill was unconstitutional
and that a principle of law to that ef
fect was decided by the supreme court
yesterday, lie read from the constitu
tion the section which says the general
assembly "shall not have the power to
delegate to any county the right to
levy a tax for any purpose except edu
cational purposes In Instructing chil
dren In the elementnry branches of an
English education only; to build and
repair the public buildings and
bridges; to maintain and support pris
oners; to pay Jutlprs and coroners and
for lltlgntlon, quarantine, roads, and
expenses of courts; to support paupers
and pay debts heretofore ’existing."
It seemed the bill was In danger os
the legislature would probably not be
willing to put the burden on the state.

No Such Decision.
Investigation by The Telegraph cor
respondent disclosed the fact thnt the
supreme court had rendered no such
decision as Mr. Clay referred to and
had no case pending that Involved the
point of Inw quoted. Th«* i**p<u-t
out of the fact that yesterday several
members of the supreme court and one
or two. members of the legislature In an
Informal conversation talked of the
ballot bill. The question of counties
paying the expenses came up and the
constitution was referred to. When the
paragraph quoted was read everybody
agreed that there was nothing In the
paragraph authorizing counties to pay
election expenses. There has been no
case argued and no case decided touch
ing the matter.
Mr. George of Morgan contends that
a booth Is a public building and that

the hour for adjournment arrived. Con

Debate on the Bill.
Mr. Field of Dooly offered a resolu
tion limiting speeches on the Austra
lian bill to three minutes and provid
ing for n vote after an hour and a half,
of debate.
Mr. Steed opposed cutting off de
bate. saying the most Important fea
tures had not been reached and it woh
Impossible to debate the bill in the
time proposed.
Mr. Tlgner spoke on the same line.
The resolution was defeated.
Mr. Dunbar’s amendment for the
picture tickets" was defeated by f»7
to 31.
Mr. Gross offered an amendment
making the penalty for furnishing
tickets to persons not authorized to
received them, a felony Instead of n
misdemeanor. It was lost.
When section eight In regard to the
booths and expenses was renched Mr.
Wilson of Clay offered an amendment
striking out the provision thnt the
counties should pay for the booths.
He said it was unconstitutional, ns the
constitution prohibited such expendi
tures on the part of the county.
Mr. George of Morgan said the
booths were public buildings as much
so ns a court hose.
The nmendme.nt was lost.
Mr. Stovall of Chatham proposed to
amend by allowing voters to cast their
ballots at the court house instead of
in their militia districts, "at booths set
apart for the voters of the district."
Mr. Stovall explained the Chnthnm
plan, which Is to have booths or boxes
at the court hous* forearh district All
the voters go to Savannah to vote.
Otherwise the voters would have to go
to the Sea Islands and distant points,
j The plan worked well In Chatham.
Mr. Blackburn of Fulton supported
the amendment and Mr. Hall of Blhb
opposed It. saying It would play Into
the hands of the rourt house rings,
Th** amendment wa* lost.
An amendment by Mr. Stanford of
Harris was adopted, providing that
voters should vote In the district or
wards In which they reside.
Mr. Whitley of Douglas offered an
amendment adding: "and no voter will
be allowed to vole except In the die
trict or ward in which he resides and
Is registered.'
Mr. Miller of Muscogee made the
point that a man who moved after he
was registered would be disfranchised.
Mr. Whitley withdrew his amend
ment.
