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 Statu Board of Health. Physicians coinplain, and many think 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 mignt 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 iticians and not quite 50 sternly eth ical in their efforts to get what they wish. Men of the right thinking sort are perfectly able to understand why physicians should seek to maintain l-.igh ideals of etlucs, but whenever they undertake to write their pro fession..! code too evidently and too plainly into the statute books, al- mnst invariably they fall down. Their ethical program frequently admittedly magnificent, but too r;en it Is not legislative war. Nevertheless, the high stand the P 1 sicians have taken for an efficient end practical State Board of Health generally is approved throughoul Georgia, and it now seems more than probable that the incoming general assembly may- be depended upon to give their ideas effect by enacting them, or at least, some of them, into laws. The doctors have started off right this time, anyway: Judge Fite hasrefused to grant an injunction asked by Leon Connally and others against 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-thiras 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 there recently, local tax advocates polled 60 votes, with 34 against the tax. The ordinary de clared local tax had 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 ftmbiguous and uncertain if constitutional (Section 6579 of the codej, and I do not be lieve that the Legislature intended 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 Jiolde that while a two- thirds majority is required for a dis trict to pass the local tax law, he doesn’t believe a minority can repeal the law, once It is established. The question, which is of interest all over Georgia, will be carried to the higher court for an opinion. "The right of Governor Brown to call the Legislature in extraordinary session, for the purpose of perfect ing Senator Bacon’s title to a seat in the Senate, is unquestioned I think." said a well-known Atlanta lawyer to-day, “and I do not know hut that it is the best way to do it, loo. "The popular elections amendment to - the Federal Constitution is not yet in effect, ana the Legislature very quickly could declare Bacon a Senator, in the old-fashioned way There is no opposition to him—he it clearly ihe Democratic nominee. "The only objection to calling the Legislature in special session would he the expense of it—about $15,000. But it will cost more than that to hold a special election for him, and the legislative way would be much the quicker.” G-irl With Strange Mania For Thefts Stole at College Miss Annette Dudley Left University of Tennessee Under Cloud— Came From Alabama. KNOXVILLE, TENN.. April 18.— Miss Annette Holme Dudley, the Southern Girl, whose mania for petty thefts is puzzling New York brain specialists, and whose strange malady has attracted the sympathetic interest of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Sr., came to Knoxville last year from Wylam, Ala., in the coal district near Bir mingham. She entered the University of Tennessee to take the English course, with a view to equipping her self for newspaper work. While at the university she sought employ ment on local newspapers, indicating that it was her purpose to make jour nalism her life work. Miss Dudley was a girl of few friends, it appears. Soon after tier advent at the university she was re garded with suspicion. It is charged that she took a watch belonging^to another girl and hid it in a closet. This alleged incident came to the at tention of officials of the university. Subsequently she left school and re turned to her home in Alabama.
