The house committee on general)
agriculture number two Monday
voted 21 tp 6 to report favorably
cn a bill calling for repeal of the
taz equalization law. It is the
same measure which was introduc
ed by Stovall of Elbort as number
one on the house, calendar for the
special session, and reported ad
versely by the ways and means
committee. . It was reintroduced in
the house Monday by Stewart, of
Atkinson, and, on motion of the
author, was committed to the agri
culture committee.
The ways and means committee,
which also met Monday afternoon,
voted favorably on the Bussey
bill, introduced Monday morning,
to provide for assessment and tax
ation of railway car equipment
companies operating in the atate.
The author claims that this would
odd approximately $75,000 a year
to the state’s revenue. This com
mittee adversed a sales tax bill by
Grovensteln. Sutlive, Jones of
Floyd and Camp ol Coweta, which,
it had been estimated would bring
in a revenue of $2,000,000, and a
measure by Whitley, of Douglas,
to put a two-doliar license fee on
all owners of pistols and revolv

The committee on constitutional
amendments reported favorably,
by a YOt* of 10 to 0. a bill by Sto
