this loss of justly due revenue may
arise from pure tax lodging, | firmly
believe the greater part of it arises
from ignorance Of the tax laws upon
the part of automobile owners.
"Automobile owners come to my Of
flee and pay the required 81 license to
operate, and believe that the 81 is all
the tax the state requires of them. AS
a matter Of fact automobiles should be
returned to the state' tax receivers for
taxation, just as any other PERSONAL
property is misunderstanding to
their honest value.
an some states, automobile owners
are required to pay the ad valorem tax
at the time the machine is registered

and the property tax are collected at

takes are avoided.
where the tax IS collected in this
manner. it goes into fund kept sepa-
rate and distinct from the general state
funds, and is used solely for good roads
purposes-to help out the smaller and
poorer counties in that fine work, for
instance. Automobile owners. knowing
their taxes are going into such a fund,
are greatly reconciled to their payment

THAT the automobile tax. in its ad

as The law stands today is attested in
the fact that every county shows from
five to twenty times as many automo-

turned for taxation. In one south

only nine have been returned for taxa

refusing last summer to assent to the

to the Federal constitution We're read
in the national house last week
In commenting editorially upon the
Georgia resolution, The Post said:
The Georgia protest questioning
the validity of the direct elections
amendment, or rather the manner
of it's passage through the house,
admittedly is a strong and persua-
sive paper, evidently the work Of
constitutional lawyers of the high
est caliber. 1t will be recalled that
while the senate adopted the
amendment by two-thrds ma
jority of all its members, the vote
in the house fell short of that re-
quirement OF the constitution. But
Speaker Clark, deciding in accord
ance with precedent. declared the
amendment adopted on the ground
that as two thirds of those in at
tendance voted AYE" it stood ap-
proved. Holding out for a strict
construction of the constitution.
which reads ''two-t thirds Of both
houses shall propose amendments,
the protestants assert that the
course taken was unconstitutional
as being in derogation of the right
of the state TO consent to no
changes in the organic law except
such as are proposed in strict con
formity to its terms"
While conceding that the techni-
cal point raised by the Georgia leg
islature is debatable, the constitu-
tional lawyers in congress are in
clined to rest their case on the con-
struction handed down by earlier
congresses, holding at the same
time that it is up to the several
legislatures to decide.
The resolution returning to congress
the proposed amendment. without ac-
ton, and in protest of its manner OF
passage by the national house, was
drawn by representative Alexander OF
DeKalb, ana was adopted by a unani-
nous vote Of the Legislature.

sanity. Magistrate Freschi discharged
him from custody after the attorney for
the family objected to a parole pending
medical examination.
Mrs Chandor said she had received a
letter from a physician saying that Jack
Chandor was not normal. The defendant
made objection to this and asked his
mother II she could produce the letter.
Mrs. Chandor replied that she could not.

Magistrate Freschi asked Mrs. Chandor
II she then noticed the vacant stare In
her sons eyes which she spoke about
