iminimum of three days will he‘
| required for adoption. Any meas- |
:un- has to be read three times in
' each house before it can be adopt- |
{m!. It will come up for second |
i:vmling in the house Monday, and |
' third and final reading will be in|
order Tuesday.
| Sreaker Roy V. Harris m‘vdict«l
led “we will pass the bill Tuesday |
if we have to stay in session all|
| night .” |
No Difficulty !
He said he foresaw no diffl(‘ulty!
to rassage. The bill, however,
includes the “grandfather clause”
over which house and senute aead
locked in 1935, resulting in fallure‘
to pass a money bill. ’
The issue is expected on the
floor of the house again Monday.
One member, who declined to be
quoted by name, declared he
‘would introduce an amendment
striking the “grandfather clause,”
which gives the governor the right!
to shave &allocations to any de
partment in event revenue doesll
not come up to legislative expect
ancy. l
Discussion of the grandfather
clause occupied a large part otl
the appropriations committee I
meeting at which the bill was
approved. Chairman William H.
Key of Jasper county expressed
the opinion state revenue would
be ample to meet the bill's rc-,,
quirements, especially if delin-‘
quent taxes were pushed.
His recommendation for inclus-|
ion of the clause in the mepsure.ir
he said, wuas based on the fact
that it was a six-month bill unly{
to be superseded in July by the|
regular bienniar appropriatlonsg
act. He predicted ample revenue:
to provide ‘all appropriations in!
full, but asked for the clause as|
o “safety precaution.” 1
Second Reading j
Another bill coming before the!
house for second reading Monday'
would change the state's fiscal
year. Now coinciding with the
calendar year, the fiscal period
would be changed to begin on
July 1.
Resolutions disapproving Tal
madge's action in ousting Comp
troller William B. Harrison and
State Treasurer George B. Ham
ilton will come up for adoption.
Special interest in the gover
nor's list of appointments center
ed around one place on the high
way board.
Already having named W. L.
Miller of Lakeland to the place of
Max L. Mcßae of Mcßae, Rivers
also will have appointment of a
successor to Chairman W. E.
Wilburn, who resigned effective
the date of senate confirmation of
a Rivers appointee.
While the name of ¥E. Jack
Smith, division highway engineer,
stood prominently on the list of
those urged for Rivers’ considera
tion, the governor made no public
commitment as to whom he would
designate.
Reorganization of the highway
poard in view of the resjgnation
of Mcßae and Wilburn, mean
while, continued to be a major
question.
Bill Pending
A bill pends in the . senate to
create a new three-man board
similar to the present one. A house
bill would retain the present
board, but institute a 10-man
planning commission to select
roads on which the department
could work.
. There continued to be talk of
sentiment in favor of a five-man
board among some house mem
bers, with some sources saying
such a bill would be introduced
early in the week and pushed for
action.
Provisions of the various social
gecurity laws headed for introduc
tion Monday were kept quiet pend
ing -last-minute changes to meet
full designs of = the administra
tion.
The bills will be designed to
bring Georgia laws in harmony
with the federal social security
lprogmm and permit expenditure
| of federal funds in the state.
Enactment of the old age pen
sion measure has been called for
early in the session to release
! federal pension money between
time of the bill's enactment and
July 1 on a temporary basis with
out the state having to match the
fund. A constitutional amendment
vote would determine possibility,

University Economist Dis

gusta Meeting
| AUGUSTA, Ga.—(®—Dr. R. P.
.Brooks, Upiversity of Georgia ec
onomics professor, declared in an
‘!address here Friday night it will be
’llmposslble to raise large addi
tional amounts of revenue in‘
Georgia “without forcing contribu
tions from everyone.”
Discussing taxes in relation to
ithe program of stateactivities pro
i posed by Governor Rivers, Brooks
gsaid: y
i “So far as these (new) taxes
lhear upon the poor they may be
! regarded as compulsory savings
!for old age and relief purposes.”
His address, given before the
]Rivhmond County Educational. As
isociali(m, concerned possible sour
i(ees of revenue to meet the ccst of
|the Rivers program,
| “The state must get in line with
Ithe national security program, we
| must have longer school terms,
,and we must do something about
lthe physical equipment and main
tenance of the eleemosynary insti
]tutinns and the colleges of Geor

. “All progressive citizens,” he
[ continued “recognize the desira

PAEM
5 Reviewing various meéthods o
| taxation, he found a 1 per cent
| gross receipts tax would yield $lO,-
l0(!0,000 ‘annually; state operation
lof liguor stores on a monopolistic
Ibasis, $4,000,000 a year; o revision
{of the net income tax law by low
!ering exemptions, he said, would
| bring in another $1,000.000; doub
!ling the tobacco tax would in-
crease reveénue from that source
by $500,000; an increase in insur
ance premium tax from 1 1-2 to 2
per cent might raise $250,000.
Enactment of such new taxes
ang changes in the old ones, he
said, “would, I think, not only
produce the revenue that the
governor would need, but would
have the very desirable effect of
lessening the burden of taxes or
property and distributing it mor¢
equitably among all the people of
Georgia.”
“It may be said,” he concluded,
“that it is rather silly to impose a
tax like the gross income tax, part
of which will undoubtedly be
shifted to the poorer elements,
when we are trying to raise
money primarily for the benefit 6f
the working classes,
“It ie impossible, however, to
raise large additional amounts of
revenue without forcing contribu
tions from everybody.”
Athens Policemen
Refuse to Answer a
Call to Kill Cat
ISRy, .
There was & call at police head
quarters Saturday morning that
no officer on the force would ans
wer—a request that Chief Weldon
Wood said he wouldn’'t order any
policeman to fulfill.
That may be putting it a little
strong, but here’s the reason no
officer wanted the job of answer
ing the call.
A lady on Catawba avenue call
ed police headquarters and said
there was a cat in the top of a
tree in her yard that had been
there for three days, and refused
to come down.
“Will you please come out here
and kill it,” the lady requested of
Patrolman D. D. Beusse, who
answered the telephone.
There were several officers in
the building at the time, but a
survey by Patrolman Beusse re
vealed that none of them would be
willing to kill a cat. They all be
lieve in the old adage that to kill
a cat is a symbo of hard luck for
the next seven years.
“That's the only czll we've had
isnce I've bee nhere that 1 refuse
to order any man' on the force to
order,” Chief Wood said.
The cat was still in the tree late
Saturday.

Negro Who Claims
To Be 103, Jailed
For Disturbance
A negro man who claimed to be
103 years old was arrested TFriday
by city police here on charges of
disturbing the peace.
The negro, Anderson Harris,
was arrested on a warrant sworn
out by his daughter, who claimed
'her father was mentally ill. He
is lodged in Clarke county jail.
| Officers disputed, Harris’ claim
Ithat he is 103 years old, however.
It is believed that he is around 93,
Ifor the negro has been quoted as
| saying he wah 17 years of age
!when the War Between the States
began. That was in 1861.
But even at 93, there isn't many
who would be able to disturb the
peace enough to have to go to
jail for it.

WASHINGTON — (#) — Cash
began accumulating at Red Cross
center Saturday night in response
to President Roosevelt's appeal for
$2.000,000 for flood sufferers,
The president made the appeal
Saturday in a special proclamation
which stressed that snow, sleet
and freezing weather were adding
to misery of the victims,
ONLY SOME BLASTING
In case you wondered what all
the noise was about last night,
nobody got shot.
Workmen were just doing some
blasting on the University cam
pus, making an effort to lewer a
pipe line.
These sounds mixed with the
sirens of the ambulances caused
some concern among the natives,
we understand, but after all it
was nothing to worry about.
