Cities and Counties Are Shut Out
From Taxing Them.

Atlanta, Ga, May ia case involving
a highly important question OF municipal
taxation was decided by Recorder Calhoun
to-day. Last week John Elliott was ar
rested by a special license inspector and
a case made in police court against him.
the charge being that he was doing a
money lending business without having
paid the 800 city tax required by the or
dinance. In police court, Elliott, through
his attorney, W. NJ. Davis, made the point
that under the state law his business
was exempt from all municipal taxation,
and quoted section 2, paragraph Of the
general tax act to sustain this position.
This section providing for a tax upon
every practitioner of law, medicine or
dentistry, president of each bank of the
loans and charging therefor, the presi-
dent of each of the railroad companies,
the presidents of each express. telegraph,
telephone, electric light and gas compa-
mics doing business in this state, and in
case the presidents of any such company
do not reside in this state then in such
case upon the superintendent or general
agent of such company who may reside
in this state, $40, and no municipal cOrpo-
ration or county authorities shall levy
any additional tax on said professions
either as a license fee or otherwise" At

several days Judge Calhoun to-day held
that Elliott was not liable for the city
tax, and he was dismissed The decision
