WHAT GEORGIA’S LEGISLATORS ARE
DOING AT THE STATE’S CAPITOL
STITE IS FACING
A GREAT
DMT
MOTION TO CHANGE BILLS FROM
ONE COMMITTEE TO ANOTH
ER CAUSED SPIRIT-
ED DEBATE.
Followin< the roll cell Thursday the
reading of the house journal was dis
pensed with, and at the request of Mr.
Felder. Os Bibb, the order of the day
was dispensed with, and a large number
of new Mils were introduced, as were
a large number of reports of standing
committees of the house.
Among the most important Mils fa
vorably reported was a Mil by Mr. How
ell. of Meriwether, providing that a per
manent loan fund of IWd.WO to be ap
propriated and established in the state
treasury, to be paid annually, on the
first of March, to the common school
fund, so that the school teachers may be
paid their salaries regularly at every
month, instead of awaiting the time the
money may have accrued in the state
ti easury.
The bill by Mr. Blackburn, of Fulton,
providing for the establishment of a
state patrol, was made the special order
of the day for Tuesday, November 35.
immediately following the reading of the
house Journal, and 309 copies of the Mil
were ordered printed for the use of the
members of the house
The house will continue to convene at
• o’clock every morning. Mr. Steed, of
Taylor. Introduced a resolution that the
house assemble at 9:» o’clock every
morning, instead of at 9 o’clock as it
does now. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, said he
thought the house would need all of
its time, and he urged against the pas
sage of the resolution. Mr. Steed, of
Taylor, who Introduced the bill, said
he thought the house should remain in
session for four hours, and he was wil
ling to meet at 9:30 and remain until 1:39.
The resolution was lost, however, the
former vote in the bouse announcing it
self willing to arrive at an earlier hour
in the morning.
The report of the rules committee on
a resolution of Mr. Tlgner, of Muscogee,
brought on a bitter fight on the floor of
the house. Mr. Tlgner several days ago
. Introduced a resoludon providing that
ail measures which dealt with taxation
of franchisee In this state be placed
in the hands of a special committee to
be appointed by the speaker.
On supporting his resolution, which had
been unfavorably reported by the commit
tee on rules. Mr. Tlgner stated that these
franchise taxation bills were especially
important, and that they should not be
discussed by two or three committees, but
should be. referred to a skilled commit
tee. r
Mr. C. 8. Reid, of Campbell, chairman
of the committee on ways and means, was
at once on the floor and his Speech was
one of dramatic and sensational interest.
“Gentlemen of the house.” he began, and
kls voice quavered with anger, ’’that res
olution is introduced to throttle the tax
ation of franchises In this state.”
Instantly Mr. Tlgner was on his feet
demanding to be heard on the question of
personal privilege, stating that the insin
uation of Mr. Reid demanded that he
make an explanation.
Mr. Tlgner was ruled out of order, and
Mr. Reid continued a most sensational
speech.
*T do not charge that It is the intention
of the gentleman of Muscogee to hinder
these tax franchise bills, but it is the in
tention of the bill to hinder these fran
chise tax laws.
"Gentlemen, we have reached the crisis
In the financial affairs in this state. Two
years ago a deficit of 3336.000 was paid
from the public property fund of this
state. I do not intend to speak on the
legality of that use of the public property
fund, but we are now facing this state
of affairs—we are, after cutting every pos
sible appropriation, facing a deficit of
nearly 3100,000 and we have no public
property fund upon wnlch to draw. Every
dollar you add to the appropriations of
the committee you increase the deficit of
the state treasury.
”If you refer these measures to a spe
cial committee you will never have these
measures brought up at this session of
the house. This matter has been discuss
ed all over Georgia for ten years, and
the house is ready to act on the question
of taxing the franchises in this state.
Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, chairman of the
committee on general judiciary, asked Mr.
Reid if the committee on ways and means
had had the time and opportunity to dis
cuss these franchise tax bills which had
been referred to It
“No,” shouted Mr. Reid, “every effort
of the committee of ways and means to
get to these measures has been throttled.
It is my opinion that the Interests con
cerned in this franchise tax bill are very
much dissatisfied with the chairman of
the committee on ways and means."
There was quite a deal of applause in
the house when Mr. Reid finished hie
speech. Mr. Tlgner was on his feet tn
an Instant and secured the floor.
He replied to what he said were the in
slnuations of Mr. Reid that he was trying
to block the legislation on taxing fran
chises.
"The speech of the gentleman >from
Campbell was the speech of a d<gna
gogue,” he said, “and we are not here
for grand stand plays. We are here for
business. We are not here for insinua
tions. and I hope you will hurl back his
Insinuations. In direct violation to the
rules he has dragged into this discussion
things which have happened in the com
mittee rooms.
Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, said that
be hoped the report of the a committee,
which was unfavorable to Mr Tlgner's
resolution, would be adopted by the legis
lature. Mr Hall mid that he had for
four years tried to have the house pass
a bill taxing corporations, and had failed,
having had it referred at this session to
the committee of the whole bouse, and he
did not desire to have the bill referred
go a special committee.
Speaker Morris surrendered the chair
and argued for the defeat of Mr Tlgner's
resolution, arguing that Mr. Reid's re
marks were not the remarks of a dema
gogue. He said the committees had al
ready partially decided upon the bills
which had been referred to them, and that
it was not right to refer the bills to an
other committee.
Murphey Candler, of DeKalb, also fa
vored the defeat of the resolution of Mr.
Tlgner.
On the vote the resolution of Mr. Tig
ner. providing that all measures belong
ing to taxing franchisee bo referred to a
special committee, was lost by a vote of
67 to M
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that the house
reconsider its action In defeating the
passage of his famous “no free pass MIL”
which was killed a few days ago. stating
that if the house would reconsider the
bill, he would move to lay it on the table,
and give the legislators time to think
about it until the house met again, at its
next session a year off.
Mr. Franklin, of Washington, fought
the movement to reconsider, and by fill
usterfng kept the house from acting.
She Mio wing new bills wore introduced

•

bers, and the reading of the house jour
nal of Friday, the committee on edu
cation introduced a report on the famous
child labor bill, by Mr. Houston, of Ful
ton. in which they recommended that the
bill be passed, and offering no amendment
to the bill.
The “no pass bill” of Mr. Hall, of Bibb,

ber Mth. and that the previous question
be considered called at 11:30 o’clock. Un
der the rules of the house, this request
must go to the committee on rules, who
will report on it in the morning.
It is more than probable that the com
mittee will report favorably on the
question.
A bill by Mr. Harden, of Chatham—Pro
viding that the clerks of the city courts
of this state can appoint deputy clerks,
who shall take the same oath and have
the same duty, and legalising all acts pre
viously done by deputy clerks, was then
read for the third time and plased on Its
passage.
Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, said he had not
had time to investigate the bill, but that
if, on Investigation, he found that he
would ask for an amendment In the sen
ate, but that ho did not now object to the
bill.
The bill was therefore passed by the
house, the vote being 89 to 0.
House bill No. 37. by Messrs Steed and
Hixon, of Carroll—To extend the powers
of the railroad commission, so as to have

a little time l> study the bill. The au
thors of the bill agreed to this.

passed by a cote of 90 to 1.
A bill by Mr. Slaton, of Fulton—Provid
ing to increase the salaries of superior
court judges, was tabled upon motion of
the author, the small number of members
present in the house making it dangerous
to place a general bill on its passage.

ing for the manner of selling cocaine so
that no prescription for cocaine can be
refilled, a new prescription -elng neces
sary every time the drug is purchased.

New York Cotton.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The cotton market
opened steady at a decline of 2 to 5 points,
chiefly under adverse cables. These were ex
pected to be 2 points lower to match our clos
ing of yesterday, but the Liverpool market
finished at a net loss of 404% points. The, early
weakness here was also to some extent due to
bearish weather news. Receipts are light and
trade prospects are regarded as generally fa
vorable. Predictions point to very heavy ex
ports during December. Light estimates on
Houston receipts turned our market soon after
the opening call, when covering became very
heavy and Investment demand was also large,
absorbing the offerings which were chiefly the
result of a disposition to secure profits ac
cumulated on the late rise. The south and com
mission houses were particularly heavy buy
ers around the opening, giving preference to
March, Maj and July. Private advices from
the south indicate that spot cotton is still very
firmly held with exporters and spinners in
competition for supplies. Wall street was a
considerable buyer in a general way this morn-
Ihg. The underlying bull influence is the expec
tation of a strong bureau report December 3d.

Murphy A. Co.’g Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Cables were
somewhat disappointing today and a de
cline of four points in the Liverpool mar
ket was presumed to be due to manipula
tion froth this side. The chronicle weekly
summary was without special feature.
The statistical situation generally is bull
ish. Receipts are decidedly disappoint
ing to bears who calculated on a contin
uance of the heavy movement. The chief
occupation of shorts at the present is
to dwell on white fields phenominal top
growth, scarcity of cars, and impassable
reads. The most astute statisticians fall
to see anything but a small crop when
it is remembered that the record for a
series of years shows half the crop in the
first week in December early prices were
three lower. Commission houses as a rule
availed themselves of the lower level by
buying. There is a general disposition
to support the market on all breaks, espec
ially since we shall BoOn have a govern
ment report which cannot fall to be bull
ish, even If it should bs found necessary
to allow over a million bales for under
estimates, as the moving advanced the
market was stronger. Receipts, 45,000
against 60,000 last year. The weather was
mild In the south with extreme tempera
ture of 64 to 72.

Naw Orleans Weekly Cotton Review.
NSW OBLSAN4, Nev, 22.—For the weak
ending today bears have danced to bull music,
resulting in an advance of 40 points on January
and 41 on March. Commencing the bull work
prices opened up 10 points Monday morning and
then for the week has ruled steady, advanc
ing to 8.18 for March three times and during
today at 8.17 or only a point und*r the highest.
Shorts were free buyers 'and were helped along
in making higher prices by the bull contingent
who have taken new hope. Spot sales were
good during the week, one day nearly 10,000
changing hands here. The news from Texas is
that owing to rains the top crop will not open.
Conservative estimates range around 3,000,000
for that state now. A wager of 3«,000 even
money was made here this week that Texas does
not make 3,000,000, including Indian Territory.
Today under disappointing cables we opened
lower, but advices of a frost in north Texas
stiffened prices and the close for the day is at
8.17 for March. There are widely different views
here as to the future course of prices, but It
is confidently expected that 9 cents for middling
here on the ctop will be passed and some bulls
eay 10 cents will be reached. Bears point to
large premiums on deferred deliveries, and
while they are not so free with their mouths
as they were last week, I they predict lower
prices. It would appear that, owing to large
premiums now existing, cotton, to make pur
chaser money, should be bought on weak spots.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—There was a fair trade in
wheat today and the market was strong, De
cember closing 14©Mc higher with May up lie.
December corn closed l%c lower with oats
He higher. January provisions closed 714ff15c
lower.
Wheat ruled strong after an easier opening,
due to weak cables, liberal receipts and favor
able weather for the movement. The chief suj>-
porting influences were the buying by the
northwest and a good export demand. Local
traders were unable to determine the attitude
of the leading long and in consequence many
of them kept cut of the market, selling at the
opening caused a slight decline, but buying,
which was credited to a big long, started an
upward movement and the market was strong
throughout the day, especially May, Which
closed Me higher at 7614 c. December opened He
lower at 74Mc, sold to 7414 c. but rallied to 75Hc
and closed higher at ?s®7sHc. Clearances
equaled 418.000 bushels. Primary receipts were
1,235,800 bushels, against 1,018,000 a year Ago.
Receipts 72 cars, 9 contracts. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 858 care, A total for the three
points of 1,090, against 867 last week and 837 a
year ago.
There was a good trade in corn, but prices
dropped until the small receipts, better weather,
lower cables and weakness of the cash article
caused December and January to be offered
with especial liberty and in turii affected May.
The decline brought out numberous stop loss
orders. With the demand there came chiefly
from shorts those who wished to “play even”
over Sunday. Receipts 260 cars. December sola
between 5614©58c and closed IHc down at «c.
Oats, while quiet, were steady. Elevator In
terests bought December and traders sold It
Again; purchases of May At 1 and 114 c dtftet
ence. On the rise in May there was considera
ble selling in that delivery. Receipts 184 care.
December closed at 30%®31e and May at 31Hc.
Provisions were steady on slight hog ifeceipts,
but the trade was quiet. January pork closed
12Hc higher at 815.62 H; Jaliuafy lard 15d up at
89.30 and January ribs 714 c up at 38.10.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—The actidn of Ar
mour In wheat today was a surprise to the
local traders. Valentine sold December
openly and bld up May. Both options
showed a fair amount of strength, with
May the stronger. There was buying by
the Northwest and Seaboard with pit
traders the beat sellers and offerings
small. The trade on the aggregate was
only fair. Weakness in December wheat
had no effect. Commission houses had
orders on buying side. Cables came a lit
tle lower, but comparatively steady. Pri
mary receipts in excess of last year.
There was a mild market ih December
corn today. General selling by brokers
and belated longs caused a decline to
53c, but the demand was very urgent on
the decline and there was a quick rally
to above 55c, closing firm and 17-8 c lower
than yesterday. The market was so er
ratic that it was almost Impossible to
follow Its movement. Weakness, how
ever, was generally in December, with
May showing a better tone in sympathy
with firmness In wheat. Cash demand
was not so good.
Trade in oats was mostly local. There
was early strength, but the market eased
Off later on weakness ih December Corn
and selling by Sterling, supposed to be
for Patten. December was stronger than
May, due tc fair demand by Lesler Knee
land. There was strength In provisions
today on buying by brokers for ‘local
account. Some houses sold early, but
they were soon exhausted and strength
set In. Hog situation was the factor.

friends of “lamb*” selling and conserva
tive buying. The week’s movement has
been 13,000 bales excess over same Week
last year, brought about by heavy sales
of spots during the decline. Spot de
mand is enormous. Exporter* find It dif
ficult to ouy against American mills in
the Interior.
Everybody attempted to buy some
cneap cotton on the decline this week
and it looks strange that people who
believe the crop will prove 11,500,00 bales
should be buying cotton at these prices
if they believe in these large estimates.
The truth of the matter Is, the* don’t be
lieve the crop will show as large as lir.
Buston's first estimate, and as we have
constantly advised, the crop will be be*
low those figures. Higher prices are in
evitable In the long run.
We may have temporary declines, but
they will be followed by most pronounced
reactions to a higher level.
Reports from the Texas fields do not
insure a heavy yield. With 30,000 acres
decrease In the Carolinas those states
cannot produce a crop up to laet year's
figures. Georgia and Alabama .will fall
short 250.000 bales; Mississippi will in
crease her yield about 160,000 bales.
The great Increase mufit come (if any)
from the west, and the most conserva
tive people say Texas will do well to
make 3,200,000. Then, where is the large
crop to come from? *
While there may be some reaction from
present prices we continue io advise pur
chases on breaks until after the bureau
report on December 3rd, as we beileva,
this document will not indicate over 10,*
250,000.
Weather conditions, too, will control
the market for the next few days and
predictions now are made that a freeze
is likely In western Texas, which would
most surely cause much apptehAnillort in
the English market, resulting in higher
values. We look for 9 cent cotton In
MarOh, If not sooner.
