Georgia Expenditure Case Opens Exposition Debate
A Georgia legal opinion argues the General Assembly may appropriate state funds to exhibit the state's resources at the 1893 Chicago exposition. It asserts state sovereignty, analyzes constitutional limits on taxation, and compares the proposed exhibit to a nondonative, nonjoint venture. It concludes the expenditure promotes general welfare without pledging credit or creating a state monopoly.

It discusses taxes for public improvements, university donations, and broad vs strict construction of the term University of Georgia, noting branch colleges and post-1877 institutions.
