WARNING TO VOTERS.
On June 8 the electorate must vote
FOR or AGAINST the legalization
of liquor in Georgia. There are no
personalities—no party—no politics
involved. It would be a clear-cut
moral issue but for one fa»t: For
some occult reason, known only to
the repealists, the reading on the
ballot was made to muddle and con
fuse the issue. The ballot will read:
For legalization and control alcohol
beverages.
Against legalization and control
alcohol beverages.
When the bill came before the
senate, the wording of this ballot
was so manifestly unfair and confus
ing, that the senate amended it to
read:
For legalization alcohol beverages.
Against legalization alcohol bev
erages.
This amendment would have clear
ly shown the voter how to register
his will at the polls, and every ballot
should do this.
When, however, the bill was re
turned to the house, this amendment
clarifying the ballot was struck out,
and the original confusing wording
was re-established, and so it stands,
a monument to unfair practices.
The repealists, in their releases
from their spokesmen, speak of the
prohibitionisits as “opponents of con
trol and regulation.”
There is not a sane man or woman
in Georgia who believes that the pro
hibitionists are against control and
regulation. This group has fought
consistently for fifty years in Geor
gia for the best control of this ruin
ous traffic, and it will continue the
fight for fifty years more if need be.
The prohibitionists will in the com
ing election vote AGAINST LEGAL
IZATION —in spite of the unfair end
ing of the ballot that would make it
appear that they are against control.
No group knows better than the pro
hibitionists that NO EVIL WAS EV
ER CONTROLLED BY PUTTING
THE LAW ON ITS SIDE.
Vote against legalization of liquor
on June 8!

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Before the
smoke of battle clears away, the fray
between the administration and con
gress over the supreme court issue is
likely to take rank with the fiercest
struggles ever waged by American
presidents. Politicians believe that
Mr. Roosevelt has accepted at its face
value Jim Farley’s assurance that
“we’ll have the votes.” Many legisla
tors must face the guns in renomina
tion primaries shortly and nobody
doubts that the postmaster general
will crack the whip relentlessly in or
der to bring wavering legislators into
line. Should one or two more of the
“conservative” justices resign shortly,
it is our guess that Mr. Roosevelt
will accept a compromise. The pres
ident aims to win the decisive battle
of the New Deal, which must be
fought in the next year or two, and
two additional justices on the su
reme court bench can assure success
as well as six.
Interior Secretary Ickes has lost
another bout with the general ac
counting office over the purchase of
|an automobile. Acting Controller
! General Elliott forced the purchase
of a car for the geological survey that
the interior department did not want,
i because it was sl.lO cheaper than the
one desired. The economy drive is on
■ in earnest!
Once more Washington has become
i the mecca of international diplomacy.
! European powers have ceased send
! ing stuffed-shirt diplomats to the
I banks of the Potomac. Ambassadors
who have crossed the ocean lately are
I young men, who if required will be
I capable to propogandize effectively,
i It is often said in European capi
;tals that “war or peace depends on
the United States.” What London and
Paris really mean is “We can win the
next war if America sides with us.”
Berlin and Rome say, “We can lick
our opponents if American will only
j stay out.”
The Germans have replaced nazi
minded Dr. Luther with young Dr.
Hans Dieckhoff, a career man who
served the Weimer republic as well
as he tries to serve the nazi dicta
torship now. He is without a doubt
the ablest diplomat Germany has at
present. Furthermore, Dieckhoff. who
did not participate in the nazi strug
gle for power and considers himself
a nazi simply because his country is
nazi-fied, understands that the ma
jority in this country do not like his
country’s present system of govern
ment. He is the one man capable of
doing something to improve relations
between both countries.
The French also have replaced an
old school diplomat, Andre de Labou
laye, with young George Bounet. The
new ambassador has none of the
Olympian aloofness of the old-school
socialite diplomats. He is a frank, un
obstrusive man of 45, remarkably well
informed on international affairs and
enjoys the friendship of more mem
bers of congress, government officials
and newspapermen than any of the
other new arrivals. Bounet, unlike
former ambassadors who never con
descended to get into an outspoken
argument with politicians or report
ers, will, figuratively speaking, take
off his coat and give as much as he
takes.
The days of hypocritical and
guarded speeches by diplomats seem
to be over. The new school ambassa
dor’s job is to expose the points of
view of his government honestly and
dispassionately—a welcome change!

YOUR BUSINESS
LAW TODAY
By
W. C. CANTRELL
Attorney and Professor of
Law, Atlanta.
As to the time within which a suit
or action at law must be brought or
begun on an open account, we find
a variation in the laws of the several
states from two years in Texas to.
eight years in Wyoming. Most of the
state laws provide a period of from i
three to six years—four years in
Georgia. The Statute of Limitations
begins to run only after the account:
becomes due. • If goods are sold on
thirty days’ time, the seller would:
have to begin legal proceedings with-j
in the period of limitations from the’
due date of the account in order to
enforce collection. There are
stances and conditions that will ex-j
tend the period of time or prevent;
the running of the Statute; these wiil
be discussed in a separate article.
Most states allow a period of six
years from due date within which to
bring suit on an ordinary or simple
contract, not under seal; however, a
few states allow a period of only
three years. The law of the state
where the contract is executed and is
to be performed will govern each case
if the law of that state is properly!
pleaded. If the law of the foreign!
state is not plead, the courts of the
state in which suit is instituted will t
presume that the law of the foreign!
state is the same as the law of the
state where the case is tried.
The foregoing principle may be il-i
lustrated as follows: A man signs a
note at Dallas, Tex., payable to and;
at a bank there. We will say the note;
is a sealed instrument; Texas law
makes no distinction between an or
dinary contract and a sealed instru
ment; her Statute of Limitations on;
both types of obligations is four
years. The note remains unpaid for |
more than four years from due date;
the debtor moves to Geoergia and thej
bank brings suit on the note in the ,
Georgia courts. Unless the debtor |
pleads the Statute of Limitations of
Texas, the court here would give
judgment against the debtor because

sealed instrument is twenty years.
One should remember that a plea
of the Statute of Limitations is a
personal plea and MUST be properly
pleaded if the debtor wishes to take
advantage of this defense; otherwise,
the court will give judgment against
him even though the note or account
be a hundred years past due.
In the constitution of the United
States, it is provided: “Full faith and
credit shall be given in each state to
the public acts, records, and judicial
proceedings of every other state.” Un
der this provision a judgment against
a person by a court of record; say,
for example, in Alabama, will be giv
en legal effect in every other state.
But to give legal effect to the Ala
bama judgment outside of that state,
it is necessary that it be again reduc
ed to judgment in each particular
state in order to create a lien on
property located there. The time
within which foreign judgments must
be sued in the several states varies
from one to twenty years—five years
in Georgia.
Domestic judgments or judgments
rendered by courts of any particular
state are valid and enforceable in that
state over a period of tme from fve
to twenty years—seven years in
Georgia! In several states the judg
ment may be kept alive and enforce
able by renewal of the execution or
fi. fa. from time to time.
