gaining consciousness. K. T. Whit

SCRIP LAW
IS INV Aid
Assistant Attorney General,
Who Drew 1t, Asserts 1t Is Not
Worth Paper IT'S Written On

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 8.-Assis-
tant Attorney General Thomas R,
veteran scrip bill passed BY the
Georgia legislature, declared that
the measure is worthless.
Mr.. Gress drew he bill on request
Of a committee of veterans. In a
formal statement issued last night
he said that at the time he prepared
the measure ne told the veterans it
was not worn the paper it was
written on"
The committee told him, said Mr..
Gress, that a companion measure
correcting defects in the original
bill, would be introduced in the leg
stature, but such bill was not
introduced and therefore the scrip
bill is of no account, according to
the statement.
Analysing the situation, Mr..
Gress declared the scrip bill creates
a debt without an appropriation to
pay the debt, and therefore, it is
an unconstitutional measure. The
constitution specifically sets forth
that the state shall not be placed in
debt, except to correct a temporary
deficit not to exceed 100000, or
to repel invasion or suppress insur-
rection. While it is true that the
constitution gives the legislature
power to appropriate money said
Mr.. Gress, the creation of a debt
without providing means to pay it
is clearly constitutional.
The failure of receiving any bids
for the script issue by Governor
Walker led the chief executive yes
terday to direct State Pension Com
missioner John W. Clark, of Au-
gusta, to proceed with preparations
for the issuance of the script to the
veterans. 1t is said that the pension
lists now are being checked for
those veterans who have 'passed on
as we'll as those who are not entitled
to back pensions, and that the script
would be issued within a month.
It was learned today that Cover
nor Walker was still undecided as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of calling in ex-
ira session Of the Georgia general
assembly whereby means could be
perfected to pay the veterans. The
governor declared that he hoped
further development within the
next few weeks would take care OF
the situation without the necessity
of calling an extra session.
The chief executive has held up
his decision in calling the legisla-
ture back into session pending the
given by banks to the
script issue with a reasonable dis
count. To date no banks in the
state have made an offer to accept
the script.
