STATETOFICHT
OIL INJUNCTION
Agricultural Colleges Hit
By Attack of Texas
Company

ATLANTA, March 22.-Injunc-
ton litigation which has been start
ed to nullify the oil inspection law
IN Georgia will be vigorously fought
by the state, il was announced today
Attorney General Clifford NJ. Wal
ker, who will represent the state,
is now busily engaged in preparing
his case, and the states answer to the
proceedings will be filed in the near
future.
The suit which has been filed by
Rosser, Slaton, Phillips and Hop
kins, representing the Texas Oil Co.,
involves almost half a million dollars
of annual revenue to the state of
Georgia. The district agricultural
schools receive the bulk of the money
from oil inspection fees, each school
receiving $4,000 year for main
tenance under the present law.
The suit filed by the oil company
alleged that the state law providing
collection of fees for oil inspection is
unconstitutional, and seeks a judg-
ment suspending the payment of
these fees. j. J. Brown, state com
missioner of agriculture; w. ]. Speer,
state treasurer; NJ. P. Roane, state
oil Inspector, and thirty-four inspec-
tors, including Inspector j. E. High
tower, of Americus, are named in the
bill.
Under the state law fee of one
half cent a gallon is charged for in
specting oil in lots of 400 gallons OF
more; one cent a gallon is charged
for inspecting lots between 200 and
400 gallons, and one and one-hale
cents is charged for lots under 200
gallons.
"The state oil department is an
administrative branch, created by the
legislature, and acting under au-
thority and direction of the legisla-
ture," said j ]. Brown, state COM
missioner of agriculture.
"The question raised is one of
legality and constitutionality In
that respect the position of the de-
partment is that it is and has been
carrying out, by administration, the
directions of the Georgia legislature
by tracking exactly the laws laid
down to us by the states supreme
body-the direct representatives of
the people"

ANTISUFFRAGISTS
PLAYED POLITICS,
COLBY DECLARES
Says 0bStruCtionist Sought
Declaration of Ratification
for Effect It Would Have in
Connecticut and Maryland.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Secretary
Colby, in statement issued last night.
accused the Tennessee antisuffrage
delegation, which recently called on
him, Of attempting 10 obtain an official
statement declaring the validity Of Ten
Eessee's ratification of the woman SUI
frage amendment in doubt because OF
the political effect such statement
might have in Connecticut and Mary
land
1t was obviously an improper thing
for me to do" said Mr.. coIby's state
ment. and amounted to the use OF the
state department for antisuffrage cleo
tionoerlng"
The secretary's statement was issued
as a denial to an article in a New York
newspaper, declaring that the delcga-
tion had said that Mr.. Colby scored the
ratification OF the suffrage amendment,
5Rying its success was due to weak
lings on Capitol HILL" Asserting this
was utterly untrue" MIR. Colby added
that the Tennessee delegation appar-
entity sought to impute to him things
which | have never thought, much less
said"
They wished me-" declared the sec
retary's statement, ito publish some
statement In which an opinion was ex-
pressly or implicitly conveyed that the
action OF the state of Tennessee was
inconclusive and that grave doubt eN-
listed as to the finality and legal effect
of It's vote on the constitutional amend
ment on questioning them | discov-
cred that their theory was that II
would have political effect In Con-
necticut and Maryland. and might cause
either one of those states TO vote Diff
ferently on the subject Of ratification
u they but realized that the action In
Tennessee was cvershRdowed by doubt
as 10 its true effect.
Tn other words, they wished to i'm
press upon Connecticut that its actions
we're not prefunctory and merely ex-
presslve OF friendly sentiment TO equa!
suffrage, but in view OF the uncertain
ties which they wished TO be given Off
cial emphasis with regard TO Tonnes
sees action that II might be decisive
as TO the ratification.
THE Tennessee legislators went so
far as to submit to me a statement
which met their specifications, with the
request that I should issue 1t. 1t was
obviously an improper thing for me to
90 and amounted to the use Of the state
department for antisuffrage election
eering. II required but little reflec-
tion for me - perceive this and quite
naturally / decided against the issuance
OF any such statement"
