R
Physicians Complain Its Endeav
or Is Confined to Labora
tory Work.
By JAMES B, NEVIN.
The physician* of Georgia are anx
ious to see some legislation effected
In the> next general assembly that
will amplify and extend the work of
the Stale Board of Health.
Physl-.tians complain, and many
think Juslly 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 InTOm^g 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 belter pol
iticians and not quite so sternly eth
ical in their efforts to get what they
wish,
of the right thinking sort are
perfectly able to understand why
physicians should seek to maintain
high ideal's of ethics, but whenever
they undertake to write their pro
fession A code too evidently and too
plainly into the statute books, al
most invariably they fail down.
Their ethical program frequently
is admittedly magnificent, but too
often it is not legislative war.
Nevertheless, the high, stand tiie
physicians have taken for an efficient
and practical Stdte Board %>f Health
generally is approved throughout
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 leas*, some of them, into
laws.
Th i 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-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 there, recently, local
tax advocates polled 60 votes, with 34
against the tax. The ordinary de- |
dared local tax had carried, and |
when the anti-tax men filed an In-|
Junction, Judge Fite refused it by the i
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
6679 of the code), and I do not be
lieve that the Legislature intended!
to authorize a email minority to
override a large majority and repeal I
a law enacted by a two-thirds ma- j
jority. i therefore refuse the in
junction.”
Judge Fite holds that while a two-
thirds majority Is required for a dis
trict to pass th.- 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
t all tha Legislature in extraordinary
.session, for the purpose of perfect
ing Senator Bacon’s title to a seat
in the Senate, L unquestioned 1
think." said a well-known Atlanta
lawyer to-day, "and l do not know
hut that it is the best way to do it,
too.
"The popular elections amendment
to the Loderal Constitution is not
yet in effect, inrt the Legislature
very quickly could 'declare Bacon »
Senator, in the old-fashioned way.
There is no opposition to him—he ts
clearly the Democratic nominee.
"The only objection to calling the
Legislature in special session would
be 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.”
