GEORGIA LOSES FIGHT ON FOREIGN TRUCKS Injunction Bans Interferences With Hauling Goods Into State by Indiana Firm. By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, January 11.—A Superior Court judge yesterday put at least & temporary end to “tag wars” involving this State when he ruled unconstitu- tional a law forcing out-of-State trucks operating through the State on regular schedules to buy Georgia license tage. Judge E. E. Pomeroy ruled that the law seeks to levy & tax on the privilege to engage in interstate commerce and that the fees charged are not predicated on the extent of use of Geargin high- ways or the weight of the freight car- ried, but on the carrying capacity of | each truck. The attorney general announced the ruling would be appealed. In his ruling Judge Pomeroy granted a permanent injunction to the Aero- Mayflower Transit Co. of Indianapolis, Ind., against the State Revenue Com- mission and ordered that the commis- sion cease arresting drivers, impounding trucks or contents or performing any act of prosecution for failure to com- ply with that section of the law.
