ILLEGAL LIQUOR FUND
SHOULD BE CONTINUED
Some interesting testimony has
come out of a special committee in
vestigating* Revenue Commissioner T.
V. Williams’ illegal liquor fund. David
Meyer, a liquor wholesaler and father
of Sylvan Meyer who is editor of the
Gainesville Daily Times, testified that
his $ 7,000 contribution “was the best
investment I ever made.”
Meyer, who appeared voluntarily,
offered his opinion that instead of
criticism, Commissioner Williams de¬
serves a Congressional Medal of
Honor. It appears that liquor interests the
had good cause to contribute to
fund other than just seeking to gain
special favors from the Revenue De¬
partment. In justifying his $7,000 gift, Meyer
said that the industry first realized
what a terrific business it was losing
to the moonshine people when 32
persons died from drinking poisonous
bootlegged whiskey during the famous
“Fat” Hardy case. “Our business shot
up 51.7 percent in Atlanta then,”
Meyer said.
It makes sense for the legal liquor
dealers to want to help stamp out
moonshine operations. If they wish
to contribute financially to cracking
the nut they should be allowed to do
so. It is doubtful the state would
finance a fund that would accomplish it
the results this one has. Perhaps different
should be administered in a
manner but it should be continued.—

(By the Atlanta Lawyers’ Club and

Gus thought to himself: “Sure, I

But he has insurance; I don’t. His

driver was not at fault. Gus threat¬
ened to sue, saying: “The law says
drivers have to carry insurance. What
good is it if they won’t pay ?”
Gus misunderstands what ordinary
liability insurance is designed to do.
Actually, it is only an indemnity de¬
signed to protect directly the one who pays
for it. It is not for the benefit
of persons who may be injured
through negligence of the insured.
It is true that Georgia state finan¬
cial responsibility laws encourage use
of insurance or some other form of
ability to pay for damages caused by
one’s own negligence. Failure to make
restitution for damages may result in
loss of driver’s license. But as far as
the insurance company’s contract is
concerned, the purpose of insurance in
such cases is still the same—to pro¬
tect lawsuits the insured person him. against loss

So far we have been talking only
about liability or property damage in¬
surance. This is not to be confused
with collision or comprehensive insur¬
ance, which will, under the conditions
stated in the policy, pay for damage
