TO LIMIT TAX RATE
Important Bill Passed in the
Georgia Legislature.
THEVOTE OVERWHELMING
I* In th e Nature of a Conatltutional
Amendment and Must be Paesed
Upon by the People In Case
the Senate Concure.
' 'At the convention of the American
Medical Association, In Xew Orleans,
Dr. Billings drew attention te the fan
that tbc medical colleges are graduat
ing annually from 10,000 to 12,000
physicians, when the actual uccds of
this country call for only about 2500.
It seems a pity tbnt some of these
graduates have not entered other pro
fessions that arc not so crowded and
can offer better prospects of remunera
tion. Sanitary engineering, naval ar
chitecture and the comparatively new
profession of forestry, for instance, are
not overcrowded, states the SclentTtfc
'American, and there will soon be a
great demand for really competent nu-
tomobllc engineers, men who combine
With mechanical ability a thorough
knowledge of gas aud other engines
that are competing for the control of
the Held.
' Europe leads America In tbc Intro-
dbetion of the trackless trolley, though
the process had Its origin here. In n
recent number of Cosmos M. Emile
Qanvlnl gives a description of some
of tbe systems employed there, the
Schlicmann, Siemens-Halike and Lom
bard Gucrlo, all of which are in prac
tical operation, with results wblcb are,
on the whole, satisfactory, and promise
a great future for the type of vehicle

and serve regions where tbe trafllc la

and have now reached a point of sac-
cett which promise* speedily to mak*
tht bwlRfM practical* ud proflnhit,
tkw cavilci it* iianat adoption
rbormr lw*l conditioai til) f«r It,
One of the most Important stops yet
taken by tho Georgia house of repre
sentative* came nt Friday's session
when that body passed, by a vote ot
138 to t, the bill by Mr. Tigncr, of Mus
cogee, providing for a constitutional
amendment, limiting the tax rate la
Georgia for all purposes to live-tenths
of 1 per cent,
Tht* is thB first hill passed by the
house, and being a constitutional
amendment, required a two-thirds fa
vorable vote, or a minimum of 117
The unusually largo vote In Its favor,
138, allows how general Is the senti
ment In favor of such legislation.
Now that the house has acted nt the
outset, the senate has plenty of lime
to get he measure through In short
order, and that hotly Is generally
known to be favorable to this legisla
tion. There is little doubt, it Is snltl,
of Its passage by the senate, and loss,
perhaps, of Its adoption by the people
when submitted to them for ratifica
tion.
On the call of tho yens and nays
several members failed to vote, but
tho bill went on to tho senate with tho
extraordinary majority tit 1,18 to 7.
Tho bill as passed Is entitled "an
act to amond paragraph 1, of section
1 of article 7 of the constitution of thli
stftte, which relates to the power of
taxation, to ho exercised liy the gen
eral assembly by adding nt the end of
said paragraph a proviso limiting the
power of tho general assembly to levy
atld assess a tax for any purpose ex
vending flvo-tenths of 1 per rent, ex
cept for specified purposes, nnd to pro
vide for the submission of the same to
the people for ratification, nnd for oth
er purposes."
Section 1 states the full purport nnd
Intent of the measure as follows:
Bo It enacted by the general assem
bly of tho state of Georgia, and It Is
hereby enacted by authority of the
same, that from and after the passage
of this art, that paragraph 1 of section
1 of article 77 of the constitution of
this state, which relates to he powers
of taxation over the state of Georgia,
to lie exorcised by the general' assem
bly, shall be amended by adding at
the end tncreof tho following proviso:
"Provided, however, that the general
assembly shall have no power to levy
or assess taxes for any purpose what
ever. exceeding In the aggregate five-
tenths of 1 per contum, after tho 1st
day of January, 1905, except for the
purpose of suppressing Insurrection,
repelling Invasion and defending the
state In time of war.”
Subsequent sections 2. .1 nnd 4 sim
ply provide for the submission of this
rnnstltutlonnl amendment to the peo
ple for ratification or rejection In case
of Its passage by n two-thirds vote of
each house, as Is usual In the case of
all proposed constitutional amend
ments.
Another Important Measure.
Another hill for tho revision In part
of the Georgia tax laws was Introduced
In house by Representative Candler,
of DoKalb. This measure proposes
simply to provide for n state hoard of
tax commissioners, and county bonrds
of tax assessors and equalizers In each
county la the state. It Is directly in
line with the tax reforms suggested In
Governor Terrell's message, and dif
fers from the hill which Mr. Candler
introduced on the same line at the Inst
session In that the latter measure in
cluded a general and detailed reform
of the tax laws of the stato.
The new measure provides for a
state hoard of tax commissioners, of
which the comptroller general shall bo
the ehlef presiding oUlt-cr, nnd for
county hoards of assessors and equal
izers In eaeh county in the stato upon
whom shall devolve the assessment of
alt property, real nnd personal, for the
purpose of taxation.
BIG STRIKE IN CHARLESTON.
Result of Trouble Between Contractors
and Building Trades Council.
Several hundred workmen engaged
In building operations went on n strike

a result of the disagreement between
building trades council and employing
contractors. All classes of workmen,
except plumbers. electricians and
whlto painters are Involved.
The matter Involved Is chiefly recog
nition of the union, and does not origi
nally affect wages or hours of labor,
though these features are being Intro
duced and will probably figure in any
negotiations for a settlement.

Sensational Lynching Oeturt In 8*0tt*»
boro, Alabama—Governei* Jelk*
Takes prompt Action,
At Bcdttsboro, Ala,, Monday night
Andrew DiminO, A hegtt), was
taken froifi the jail and hanged by a
mob. Dtmms was arrested Sunday for
an attempt to criminally assault Alma,
tho 19-year-old daughter of 'Dr. B. B.
Smith, and the first that Sheriff Aus
tin knew of the mob was when It
put In an appearance In tbe hallway
of the jail.
The sheriff seized two pistols and,
mounting the stairs, said he would
kill any one that attempted to come up,
Tho threat was met with a volley and
the sheriff emptied his revolver in re
ply. fleftlrfi lift collld teiodti lib was
shot down. One shbt took effect in bis
right leg and the other In bis pistol
arm, thereby disabling him.
Tho daughter of tho sheriff ran to
her father and was at once covered by
a pistol in the hands of a member of
tho mob and made,to deliver the keys
to the cell In which the negro was
confined. Tho cell was quickly un
locked and the trembling victim was
led out with a halter. He was march
ed to a place In the west end of town,
where the other end of the rope was
thrown across the arm of a telegraph
pole and the negro was quickly drawn
up. The telephone wires were cut so
ns to prevent tho calling for aid.
Governor’s Prompt Action.
A Montgomery special says: Gov
ernor Jelks Tuesday requested Judge
.1. A, iiiibro to call a special term of
tho circuit court to immediately try
five members of the mob who iyhehed
Andrew Dimms, a negro, and seriously
shot Sheriff Austin in the attempt to
get tho negro at Scottsboro. Ala., Mon
day night. These five men wore rec
ognized by the sheriff.
The governor, on receiving word of
tho lynching. Immediately wired Judgo
Bilbro to call n special term of the
court. It is said the governor Intends
to Insist that tho guilty parties be pun
ished.
Under tho law. It will be thirty da>'3
before the court can he held, as notioc
will have to be given for that length
of time.
CRUM APPROVES LYNCHINGS.
Charleston’s Colored Collector Takes
Unexpected Ground on Mob Law.
Collector W. D. Crum, of Charleston,
S. C„ has shocked his fellow negroes
by advocating lynching. At a meeting
In Chicago Tuesday night he said:
"Lynching! savor of tho barbarism
of the dark ages, but we must think
of the crimes that provoke them.
Those crimes are so atrocious that no
punishment Is too Bevere for them.
"Lynching Is not a race problem,"
said Dr. Crum. "There Is no north or
south, hut. the form of unlawful pun
ishment Is general all over the coun
try. The most horrible lynching which
over took place In this country occur
red In Dolawarc only a few days ago.
Such punishments savor of tho barbar
isms of the dark ages, but wc must
consider the crimes that provoke
them. They are so atrocious that no
punishment Is too severe.
"Too many persons denounce lynch-
Ings wlhout considering their cause.
If the law was quick and decisive thero
would be fewer lynchlngs.
"The remedy is to exterminate the
horrible wretches that commit tho
the crimes—not by killing them, but
by teaching them better."
