July 15—By over whelming vote, the house committee on constitutional amendments gave its approval to the biennial-session bill at a meeting Tuesday afternoon. The vote was so one-sided that the secretary stated afterward he did not keep a record of the actual count. On ly two hands were counted raised on the negative side. The state senate on roll call vote today voted down house hill No. 1, which would repeal the tax equaliza tion law. The vote was 18 for repeal and 20 against. The measure already had passed the lower house. It provided for knock ing out provisions of the equalization law providing regulation of returns and assessment of taxable property in the state and for county tax boards. After voting 81 to 07, to reject a substitute bill by Representative R. B. Russel of Darrow, to replace sen ate bill No. 40, by Garlick, of the 17th which would place the motor bus lines of the state under the public service commission, the house by a vote of 115 to 70 rejected the bill and thus ended a fight featured by much de bate and filibusterng which has con sumed thq major>> of the past week. The Peach county bill which had passed the Senate was voted on Tuesday by the House, the vote being 151 for and 37 against the bill. This creates a constitutional amendment which the voters will be called on to ratify or reject in the November gen eral election in November. LARGE CROWD?
