Physicians Complain Its Endeav
or Is Confined to Labora
tory Work.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The physicians of Georgia are anx
ious to see some legislation effected
in the next general assembly that
will amplify and extend the work of
the Stat« Board of Health.
Physicians complain, and piany
thipk justly so. that the present en
deavor of the State Board of Health
is too cramped, and extends to little
if anything more than laboratory
work. It is hampered, too, of course,
by skimpy appropriations, although
the legislature, as a rule, inclines
to do the best it can for the depart
ment.
Certainly, the Board of Health can
do much to carry forward the educa
tion of the masses as to the vital
necessities of sanitation, thereby
avoiding many epidemics and conta
gious diseases, and to the State’s
great advantage, if the incoming Leg
islature will help it a little more ex
tensively than heretofore it has been
helped. Also a complete and intelli
gent system of birth and death regis
trations might be Installed.
As a matter of fact, much needful
and also helpful medical legislation
might be effected in Georgia were
the physicians a little bit better pol*
Itlcians and not quite so sternly eth
ical in their efforts to get what they
wish.
Men >f the bight thinking sort are
perfectly able to understand why
physicians should seek to maintain
high ideals of ethics, but whenever
they undertake to write their pro
fession.! code to * evidently and too
plain!, into the statute books, al
most invariably they fall down.
Their ethical program frequently
is admittedly magnificent, but too
often it is not legislative war.
Nevertheless, the high stand the
physicians have taken for an efficient
and practical State Board of Health
generally is approved throughout
G orgia, and it now seems more than
probable that th*- incoming general
assembly may be depended upon to
give their ideas effect by enacting
them, or at leas’, some of them, into
laws.
Th doctors have started off right
this time, anyway
Judge Fite hasrefused grant an
injunction asked by Leon Connally
and others again'-1 the school trus
tees of Trenton, Dade County, thus
bringing up an interesting point in
connection with the State’s local tax
school act, which specifies that local
taxation must get a two-thirds ma
jority to become effective in a dis
trict.
The Trenton district three years ago
adopted local taxation and built and
equipped a modern school. The act
states that similar elections may be
held every three years, and in the
election held tin re recently, local
tax advocates polled GO votes, with 34
against the tax. The ordinary de
clared local tax i ad carried, and
when the anti-tax men filed an in
junction. Judge Fite refused it by the
following order: .
"The meaning of section 1536 of
the code, under which the election
was held, is to me ambiguous and
uncertain if constitutional (Section
6 ' of the cod. ) t and l do not be
lieve that the Legislature intended j
to authorize a small minority to
override a large majority and repeal
a law enacted by a two-thirds ma
jority. i therefore refuse the in
junction.’'
Judge Fite hold** that while a two-
thirds majority is required for a dis
trict to pass the local tax law. he
doesn't believe i minority can repeal
the law, once it is established.
The question, which is of interest I
all oyer 1 leor • 11 will be carried toJ
the higher court for an opinion.
"The light of Governor Brown to
Vail the Legislature in extraordinary I
session, for the purpose of perfect
ing Senator Baton’s title to a seat
in the Senate, is unquestioned I j
think," said a well-known Atlanta
lawyer to-d‘.iy. "and T do not know
hut that it F the best way to do it,
too.
"The popular f lections amendment
to the Federal Constitution is not
vet in effect, ii > *. the Legislature
' cry quickly could deals re Bacon a
Senator, in the old-fashioned way.
There is no opp isition to him—he is I
learly tne Democratic nominee.
"The only objec tion to calling th° |
Legislature in speci.il session would
be the expense of it—about $15,000. j
But it will cost more than that to
hold a special election for him, and !
the legislative way would be much |
the quicker.”
