MAYSON On* of the moat Important bills In traduced In tha bouaa of represents tlvea Friday mornlnc was In tbe nature of a resolution aa to taaaa by Mr. Alexander, of OeKalb. Tha resolution provides for the col lection of back taxes from the Qeoryla Railroad and Banking .Company and Ita lessees. In. the bill all-previous ■rants are declared void and null, and It la tha purpose of the act to make the rallroada pay a tax on their sur plua to every county and municipality. Including school district through which they may pass. The bill la aa follows: He It reeotred by the general assembly of Georgia, and It Is hereby so resolved snd declared, Tbnt Ike right of tasatlou sovereign right, Inalienable, lode atrurtlhle, In tbs life of the state, and rightfully belongs to tbe people 111 all Re. publican governments, and neither tbe gen oral assembly nor any nnr all other de partmsntn of tbs government have, over have t ' — .

That the declaration of these truth* In tne roustltutlou of 1S77, created do new principle of law, but war merely a restatement of fundamental truths that always existed, and that lu tha nature of things It never could hare been otherwise, unless tbe general asseiu ‘ had the power to abdicate tbe dutlei _ government and commit the state to anarchy. Be K further reaolrod. That any dictum which may erfr at any time have been pronounced by tbe authority of the fed eral Judiciary to tbe contrary of these — »rroneous ruling.for which [nressly Indicated Its re gret* as well as by necessary Implication. * ' “ Tht to recede Justice and advancement of truth. . Be It further resolved. That Insofar aa the judiciary of this state acted upon any \ i OPPOSITION BREWING TO PROPOSED INCREASE. Contended That Duties of Posi tion Arc Light ana That $1,200 Is Sufficient Salary. A bill Introduced by Henator Herbert Williams Thursday will meet oppoal. tion In some of Ita features. If thU opposition doea not come from the aen- Ate It will come from the house. * The bill provides for Inspection of all Illuminating_oll* -produced, sold or used In the state. Oil used by the rail* roads Is not Inspected now, because the roada Insist that It la none of the state's business about their oil. They contend that the oil le Inspect ed In another etate before the trains < ome Into Georgia, and that another Inspection la not necessary. Officials of the department of agri culture, under which the oil Inspection Is conducted, think It makes for public safety to Inspect the oil used by the railroads or for any purpose In Qeor- gln This feature of the bill will prob ably pass.without serious opposition. But the proposition to raise the sal ary of the state oil Inspector from SI,200 to $1,600 will have opposition. , Dr. \V. r. Bryan now* holds that place. His duties are not arduous, and very little of hla time la required In the •work. Already some members are say ing that the Job Is a sinecure, ami that $1,)00 Is more than enough pay. < Senator Peyton Introduced a Mil Fri day to Increase the salaries of the com- ml*aloner of agriculture, the commis sioner of penalona and the state school rommlaaloner from $2,000 to $S,000 per annum. It la the policy of the times to pay public official* what they are worth, and these Increases will hardly meet with aerlous opposition, If any at all. If the commissioner of agriculture la given the $1,000 Increase, the salary Hat of the department will be near $12,000 per year. REDUCED R. R. RATES FOR FOURTH OF JULY. The W. & A. R. R. and N.
