STATE TOBACCO TAX
IS CONSTITUTIONAL,
JUDGE BELL RULES

The 10 per cent tax on retail sales
OF cigars and cigarettes was declared
constitutional in decision rendered
Wednesday afternoon by Judge
George l.. Bell, in Fulton superior
court. The judge denied the petit
ton for an injunction, restraining en-
forcement OF the new tax act. as
sought by group of Atlanta deal
ers
The Judges decision automatically
dissolved the temporary restraining
order which mas held up enforcement
of the act for more than two weeks
and attorneys for the t. ba eco deal
ers Immediately sought to have the
judge grant a supersedeas, pending
an appeal to the Georgia supreme
court.
After hearing from both sides on
the question OF the supersedeas,
Judge Bell directed that both sides
hold a conference in the attempt to
agree upon an order concerning this
feature of the case, and that Attor-
ney General George NJ. Napier sub
NIT an order for his approval.
In rendering his decision from the
bench, orally, Judge Bell held that
the arguments and decisions cited
did not, in his opinion, act to nullify
the act, which was passed at the last
session Of the legislature.
II the 10 per cent tobacco retail
tax is declared unconstitutional the
~ IF
losing the $4,000, 900 revenue expect
ed this year from the gasoline tax,
it was asserted Wednesday morning
by Attorney General George M. Ma
pier, arguing before Judge Bell.
Colonel Napier said the two meas
ures are similarly constituted and
that the fuel tax measure provides
for a division of revenue. just as
is provided by the tobacco tax law,
and which point has been made the
basis of the attack by the retailers.
The attorney general pointed out
that the fuel tax provides for appro-
priations TO the state highway de-
partment, to retiring the w. & A.
rental notes and for payments to
the counties for road construction
work.
in the fuel tax measure, Colonel Ma
pier said, just as two appropriations
are combined in the tobacco tax
law, part of the funds goina to the
erection Of a tubercular sanitarium
at Alto and the remainder to be
used in the payment of Confederate
pensions.
II both measures were declared un-
constitutional, the attorney general
said, the state would lose $1,000, 900
in yearly revenue. since the tobacco
tax IS expected TO bring in 81 600 ,00o.
Mr.. Napier also contended that the
incorporation of more than one sub
ject matter in an appropriation
measure is not unconstitutional. and
he recited number OF decisions in
support of his contention
Colonel Napier was followed by At.
torney Mark Boiling. who COM
pleted the final argument for the
plaintiffs shortly after ! o'clock
| Wednesday afternoon.
