« THE A TLA .N 1 A ULOKDIAN ;LN1I MAYS. PKIDAY, APIHL IS. 101:1. 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.” £®aS£K^iSilE5SWEIN?
