Court Okays Dictatorship In Georgia State Govt
Atlanta May 9 The state Supreme Court ruled five to one in favor of Governor Eugene Talmadge on the first point of his financial dictatorship. The court upheld Talmadge’s removal of State Treasurer George B. Hamilton on February 24 after Hamilton refused to sign a $100,000 state check without a legislative appropriation. Hamilton had opposed the governor’s one man control as the 1935 legislature failed to pass a general appropriations bill. Talmadge said the ruling correctly interpreted the law.
