MICHAEL. ACT
THE TEST
Special. School Levy
Law is Up
held.
AMENDMENT OP ACT
IS NOW ASSURED
In a decision handed. down Monday
morning the supreme court upholds the
.McMIchael special school levy act. In
so. far as it relates to the counties, but
knocks out the districts.
While the case affecting the county
of; Hancock Is actually reversed, It Is
/;<?;/ that ”che (ox imposed under the
act of 1905 was not Intended to be
retroactive hi Its application, and
could not be lawfully collected that
„ ■' l '
•Jt Is hetd,.however; that "the coun,
tr authorities pf any county adopting
the provisions of this act may levy the
tax autho.'zed thereby upon the prop
erty of railroad companies, the assess
ment thereon being based on the re
turns made to the comptroller general.
The county authorities may. obtain a
certified copy of such returns from the
comptroller general on demand, to be
used In the assessment and levy of the
tax."
It Is stated further that the act
not unconstitutional because of tho
C vlso In the second section of the
y of the act, whereby Incorporated
towns operating a public school system
are not, without the consent - of tho
municipal authorities. Included In the
election held In tho county for tho pur
pose of determining whether a school
tax shall be levied. The subject matter
of the proviso Is germane, nnd Is not
at variance with the title of the act”
The Georgia railroad resisted pay
ment on the grounds that ths Jevy was
uncon.tltulonu, because no machinery
for levying and collecting on. railroad
property was provided. At any rate,
they contended, the levy for 1905 was
not collectible. Inasmuch as It was ths
settled policy of ths legislature to pair
tax acts one year preceding, and ni
departure from this custom was au
thorlxed by the act
In the opinion, written by Justice
Evans and concurred In by all the oth
ers. the Judgment of the lower court Is
reversed solely on the contention that
the levy for 1105 was not correct
Seheol Districts Knocked Out
Because the McMIchael act requires
that the levy shallbe made on all prop
erty appearing on the digest of the tax
receiver the districts are knocked out.
Itallroad property does not appear on
such digests, a* they make returns to
the comptroller general. As the meas
ure now stands, the necessary machin
ery for assessing the railroads Is lack
ing.
The third and fourth sections of the
set, providing for the levying and col
lecting of school districts tax, are de
clared Inoperative.
This test case came.up from McDon
ough school district, in Henry county,,
and the Southern railway resisted the
payment. Judge Reagan granted a re
straining order, and the supreme court

The Rev. J. H. Brown, a Baptist
missionary from tho Canary Islands,
addressed the conference briefly. He
called attention to . the need of mis
slonarles In the seven Islands of ths
group and stated that owing to lack of
funds no aid could be received from the
regularly organized Baptist missionary
organizations. He will remain In At

ganization, threatened to cause a re
newed discussion of ths Torrey-Alex

the bud by the statement that the com
mittee would have no power to bind
the conference to any future action.
A partial report from the . various
churches showed that there had been
In the months of it ay and June 1*7
baptisms end 149 accessions to ths
church by letters.
The meeting adjourned that the
members might attend the Evangelical
conference at 11 o'clock. The reading
of Dr. A. D. Spalding's paper on “The
Book of Job," was poitponed until
next Monday and set for a special or

Eakes, presiding eldsr, and Rev. C. O.

On motion of Rev. J. W. Lee, It was
