LEGISLATURE STILL DAWDLES,
WHILE TIME FLIES.
Special Crir. Columbus Enquirer-,Sun.
Atlanta, July 2(1.—The House of Rep
resentatives has played tho wild again.
At least, it did so twico almost in the
spine breath this iiffcrnoun, After spend
ing nil tho time since last Thursday work
ing out a gigantic “hallelujah save us’’
general tax bill which was going to fill
up tho Treasury “with endligh money to
“got tho ox. out of the ditch,” they
' turned tho wholo tiling into a jakofost
in *thc afternoon session today, loaded it
up with a tax of $5 on everybody in the
State over 30 yours of age who la un
married, nnd then kicked tho whole tiling
right betwoon the eyos nnd throw it over
board.
, When the committee bill hail boon
‘ ‘ perfected ’ ’ by the addition of numer
ous other iiieonsis|:c!icies than tho com-
mlttoo already had ip it, lin'd another
four days oonsiuuodr- Representative
Wyatt, of Troup, tore a bunch of pages
out of an old book of Acts of the Leg
islature and offered It'as a Substitute
for the ponding bill. Mis substitute was
the general tax Act ns Inst enacted, with
. tho caption uf tho proposed bill ginned
onto it.
Representative Bourdon got in a motion
t,i adjourn, and the House quit, with tho
Wyntt substitute Imaging on the peg iih
tho first thing for tomorrow. There isn’t
n doubt tonight that it will pass, lint
some still lighting is expqetod by nilniin-
istrntion backers nnd committeemen , „„ , ... „ ,
when the roll-tall comes tomorrow. ■' , tiw A1,lb,lnm ,lfEnil8 ' The k ' ttur tnl

all nmldiig the customary fight for in-
about five billions, nnd of this amount
four billions must come from internal
taxation. ,
The tariff bill passed by the House
yesterday wns'estiinatcd by Treasury ex
ports todny as 'capable of raising only
*45(1,000,00fl{ and not $800,000,000 ns
estimated by Republican lenders.
The postal service is expected next
your to turn in nbont n linlf billion,
which will bo approximately the cost of
tint service, and represent a stand-off in
the five Idllinn budget.
Internal taxes must produce four bil
lions and tlie remainder of n hundred
million or so will come ’ from sales of
surplus Government property, Panama
cniinl tolls and incidental sources.
The outstanding fact of today’s im
portant conference was thnt there will
lie a readjustment of tax burdens, but
little real liftinf; of tiioso burdens. There
can ho no npprccinblo relief vlicn the
country must produce four billions from
taxation.
Congress does not yet know how it
will raise the money. Tlie Ways and
Means Committee will bogin to receive
suggestions' when it starts bearings on n
new tax bill next week.
Tentative plans discussed today, which
probably .will work out in pnrt nt least,
included: A Fodcrnl tnx oil automobiles
to raise nbout eighty'millions annually.
Reduction of one-half of the transpor
tation tnxos. Eli mutation of tlie excess
-profits tax; which will bo replaced by a
iiiglriir tnx on corporate incomes, and
probable elimination of corporation ex
emptions.
A tnx of two cents on every bank
check issued. Reduction of tho higher
surtaxes on incomes, milking tho mnxi-
inum nbout. 40 par cont., accompanied'
by a probable increase of the surtaxes
on the BO-cnllcd smaller incomes, sny
from $2,000 to $100,000,
Appreciably,higher taxoq on tobacco,
cigars nml clgu'rotteB, regarded iih luxu
ries. Retention of tho tax on theatre
admissions; but repeal of tho soda foun
tain taxes, about xvbich there is do much
complaint.
Tho makers of tho tnx ; latv will grab
here - nud there for income, blit the out
standing fact is that with tho ■ exception
of tho repeal of tho excess profits taxes,
there is little rolief in sight for tho next
year or so.

The price of cotton received by far

in tlie records of tlie Bureau of Markets

In tlie first year of the World War,

tlie cotton price on Doc, 1 was 0.8 cents,'
but it rose to 11,3 cents the next year,
to 10.8 cents in 1916, to 27.7 centB in

NATIONAL DEBT GREATLY RE-.
.DUCED.
Washington, July 9.—More than $
009,000,000 lms been slashed from tho
total of tho gross imti,onnl debt in the
two years since Aug. 81, 1019, an offi
cial statement of the Treasury Depart
meat showed, today. The gross debt
reached its highest peak in 1919—a year
following tho armistice.
Tho total reduction in the debt for
the period hns .bee# S per cent, showing
tlmt despite pessimistic talk of Govern
ment extrnynganeet and inefficiency the
debt is being reduced nt the rate con
templated when it was acquired.
Tlie gross national debt on June 30,
the last day of the Government’s' fiscal
year, stood at $23,427,772,447. Two
years ago nt the peak, tlie nation
owed n total of $25,478,592,113.
Reduction shown by these figures is
$2,050,869,666.
At a -reduction of 8 per, cent.- each
two yenrs, the on tiro debt will'be retired
in far less than twenty-five yars—the
period of retirement contemplated under
tlie sinking fund arrangement. Qniek re
duetion of the debt tends to lower nil-'
nual interest charges for the Govern)
meat, and for the citizen lower taxes.
The Government now is paying inter
est on the debt at a rate of more than
$900j000,000 a yonY. This is nearly $9
a year for every persoil in the United
States.
