Brief News Item* Gathered Here
And There Frorfi All Sections
Os The State
Atlanta. —Following announcement
by John M. Vandiver, state revenue
commissioner, that total collections to
: date, under the new state cigar and
cigarette tax act, which became ef
fective January 1, were only $145,-
5*7.79, J. Herman Millner, member of
' the legislature from Dodge county and
author of the law, stated that he
would do all In his power when the
legislature meets this summer to in
stitute a thorough investigation of
the enforcement of this law, on the
Idea that the collections were only a
fraction of the anticipated amount.
Commissioner Vandiver, at the same
time, out figures bn collections
of delinquent special taxes through his
department, showing that a total of
$36,333.45 has been collected to date.
This sum falls far short of the results
expected for this period when the bill
creating it was passed by the assem
bly.
Mr. Vandiver stated that he is now
making weekly reports to the state
treasurer on delinquent tax collec
tions, in accordance with a provision
In the law creating his department.
He admitted that he had only recent
ly begun submitting these statements,
adding that frequently they would
show no delinquent taxes collected. He
'said that he had only recently noticed
that section of the law calling for
these weekly reports and had there
fore failed, until the last few weeks,
to live up to this proviso.
When the state tax on cigars and
cigarette was passed in the assembly,
it was variously estimated that it
would bring in revenue amounting to
anywhere from two and a quarter mil
lions to six millions.

,U. S. WILL COLLECT LEANS
Commissioners Favor Suggestion Os
Awaiting Reparations Settlement
Before Sending Bills ,
Washington. The United States
bas laid down the definite policy that
It will permit of no action by foreign
debtor nations thnt would make the
position of this government “lesß fa
vorable" with respect to obligations
it.
Establishment of the policy was dis
cussed with publication by the Amer
ican debt commission of communica
tions with the mission from the King
dom of the Serbs, Croats and Slo
venes. which recently discussed a
funding arrangement on that coun
try’s debt of $61,687,000. The mission
)eft without making any headway to
wards a settlement but carried with
Jt a letter setting forth the Ameri
can view.
"Pending the refunding or satl»
faction of the indebtedness in ques
tion" the debt commission’s lettei
said "the commission assumes thaf
the United States may feel assured
that no action will be taken by your
government with respect to any of its
Indebtedness heretofore or hereafter
•incurred which will result in placing
the United States in a less favorable
position as a creditor that that which
It now Occupies.’’
The paragraph was regarded as
making it clear that the United States j
intends to retain the priority of its
obligations where such priority ex
ists and that It will accept no second
jliens that may result from shifting
finnncial arrangements in the reon
ganlzation of any foreign govern/
meat’s debts.
T s was indicated that a majority of
I 1 ’" debt commissioners feel furtheii
lir-e should be given the foreign pow-1
er- : i which to initiate funding negj 1
of- ’’spr because of the house that a)
sf’ement of the reparations prob*
jer- -"iy be near. The Jugo Slav
deb ""‘'on said its government expect-i
ed t~ " fr er a funding settlement when
the r-nnration question is worked out,!
This “t’ljation was deemed likely to
affect 'he other smaller debtors so.
It appeared probable that the debl
commission would mark time for
awhile.

SENATEVOTESDOWN
JAPANESE MEASURE
JAPANEST THREAT ROUSES THE
SENATE TO SHOW ANGER
AND RESENTMENT
TO MAKE EXCLUSIIN DEFINITE
Temper Os Legislators Indicates Easy
Passage for Definite Exclusion
Clause In Allen Bill
Washington. —The senate, roused to
fever heat over the effort of Ambas
sador Hanihara of Japan to influence
immigration legislation, has voted to
abolish the "gentlemen’s agreement”
iwhich has been in force since 1907,
and is expected to insert a provision
jin the immigration bill which will ex
clude Japanese by law.
Under the “gentlemen’s agreement”
Japan was allowed to carry out ex
clusion in Japan, without any inter
ference by this country. The portion
pf the new immigration bill providing
I continuance of the "gentlemen’s agree
ment” was defeated by the Benate by
a vote of 76 to 2, at the end of a suc
cession of heated protests against the
action of the Japanese ambassador,
which was characterized as “veiled
l threat” by Senator Lodge, Republican
Reader, and Senator Reed, of Pennsyl
vania, a member of the immigration
•committee, and bitterly assailed by
(Other senators.
; The senate now has before it an
amendment offered by Senator Short-
Tidge of California which would det
i jlnitely exclude Japanese by law. From
j ithe sentiment that has been express
ed on the floor, it appears likely that
this measure, or a similar amendment,
will be included in the senate meas
ure. Such a provision is contained
j ’in the house bill.
The action of the senate was taken
in the face of the expressed wish of
jSecretary of State Hughes that the
i "gentlemen’s agreement” be contin
j ued.
When the provision in the bill pro
viding continuation of the agreement
was reached Senator Lodge asked that
the senate go into executive session.
There he made an effort to have con
sideration of the section and a vote
taken behind closed doors, but the
i motion was defeated and the open ses
sion was resumed.
In the debate on the measure there
were many heated outbursts, one sen
ator after another protesting that con
tinuation of the “gentlemen’s agree
ment” after the letter of the Japan
ese ambassador would threaten the
sovereignty of the United States.

pany and others contested the right
of Nebraska to fix the maximum. The
j case had been under the considera
tion of the court for some time, and

New Grievances Aired In Congress
Washington.—New grievances have
been added to the feud between con
gress and the white house by the
Support which the senate has just giv
en to Japanese exclusion and tbe sol-
I dier bonus —both said to be regarded
! coldly by the president, but it is not
yet known whether the president will
come out openly in support of the sec
retary of state in the matter regarding
Japanese immigrants. There are vari
ous considerations which must be
weighed. Hugbe3’ protest had no
Weight whatever with the house. •
