AMENDMENT TO STATE
TAX EQUALIZATION LAW
MAY BE OFFERED SOON
(By Ai.ocl.toU Preir.)
ATLANTA—Three measures designed to repeal
acts of 1920, 'creating new Confederate Pensioners, the
passage of which', it was estimated, would save the state
approximately two million dollars a year, was intro
duced mto the House Monday by Representative Kenip-
ton of Fulton and Representative Harris of Jefferson.
A measure to restore the fifteen hundred dollar
property clause, under which the veterans owning this
much property are not qualified for a pension and the re
quirement that the widows of veterans must have mar
ried them prior to January 1, 1870, would be restored by
the repeal of the free tax measure of 1920.
