Discussing the present debt of the state and the crying

Shall Georgia strike such blow at the state? Mr.. Al

be assigned for the removal of the Capitol which
is not likewise argument for removing every head
quarters organization within it's borders; and to
them from Atlanta is to remove them from the

the welfare of Georgia at heart will upon final test
njure this city, for, in striking her. he strikes the
state. 1E

part of the constitutions" The court held that the
proposed amendment would not become operative
upon its approval by the people because other cond

ative and that 'the Legislature not authorized
by the trainers of the constitution do the terms
of that instrument permit it, to propose any amend
ment that will not upon its adoption by the people,
become effective part OF the constitution; is it
authorized to propose amendment which, if raft
fed will take effect only at the will of other persons.
