The amendment differed from the Candler amendment, defeated Thurs day afternoon, In that It placed an occupation tax of 1 per -cent on rail way companies only. Mr. Alexander spoke five minutes In support of his amendment. He declared that the amount of the gross receipts of the railroad com panies of Georgia Justified the tax and that the tax was demanded In order to pay the school teachers of the state. Mr. Adams, of Chatham, opposed the amendment. '•There are 10,000 school teachers In Georgia waiting for their money," said Mr. Wright, of Floyd, "and we beg you for their sake to Inaugurate this great policy of an Income tax. Those who favor this measure call us a set of dem agogues and declare that we are endeavoring to rob the railroads, but I tell you that not one single measure detrimental to the Interests of the rail, roods of Georgia has passed this as sembly at this session. "It was claimed yesterday that the passage of the Candler amendment would throttle your smaller Industries. .Vow we have eliminated these and we ask you In the name of justice and Ight to adopt this amendment.” Candler Supports It. cusslon began, trying to Influence members to vote against this occupa tion tax, and I saw them here this morning trying to do the same thing. "I have raised my voice the last time on this question, but I tell you now, that whenever I get a chance to strike a blow at these corporations I am going to do It." Mr. Wise, of Fayette, opposed the amendment. He declared that not a railroad company In Georgia could tell at the end of a month what its receipts had been for that month. Mr. Tyson, of EmanudI, called the previous question, and the call was sustained. Before the vote on the amendmeht was taken Mr. Alexander called for the ayes and nays and the call was sustained. An amendment offered by Mr. Dean, of Floyd, providing that the levy should only be effective for the year 1908, was defeated. An amendment by Mr. Donalson, of Decatur, providing that the tax should not apply to .railroads less than two hundred miles long, was voted down. An amendment by Mr. Payton, of Worth fixing the tax at one-half per cent, was defeated. The amendment of Mr. Alexander was adopted by a vote of 98 to 68. Other Sections Passed. The house then resumed consider ation of the general tax act and the following sections were passed before the hour of adjournment: Section 11. Be It further enacted by the authority aforesaid.

Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, followed Mr. Wright In support of the amendment. He declared that he was In favor of nixing all corporations alike, but added that If he couldn’t strike all at one time associations are located, and not else- he would strike one whenever he could.
