BERNER'S LITTLE BILL Cures scRbFuLA. EPP ifilsi Excite* Universal Comment—The Tax ou Bachelors. Atlanta, August 3—The bill intro duced by Mr. Berner yesterday was the subject of conversation in railroad and legislative circles. If tlio bill is pushed and passed, the railroads of the state will be under the inspection of the rail road commissioners sure enough, but will the bill be passed? From various members of the committeo to whom the hill was referred it is learned, they will report it back with a recommendation that it “do pass,” and thon if tho house agrees with them, the hill will become a law, and the railroads will be controlled in their leases and contracts, as well as in their freight and passenger rates. Tho bill introduced by Mr. Seay to tax all unmarried malo citizens, except widowers (the proceeds to go towards tho support of the branch college at Dahloncga, Milledgevilie, Cuthbert, Hamilton and Forsyth) bad a narrow es cape from a serious amendment in the committeo on sanitation and hygiene. An amendment was ottered making it apply only to members of the present legislature, and afterwards only to tho counties of Floyd and Monroe. The bill proposes to tax all unmarried persons between 30 and 35 years of ago to pay an annual tax of $25; between 35 and 40, $50; 40 and 45, $75; 45 and 50, $100; 50 and 55, $125; 55 and 00, $150; and all over 00 years of age, $200 per annum.
