Atlanta.—WIBt gave promise of an
adjustment of the differences between
the house and senate over the pro
posed income tax received a hard jolt
when the senate positively recorded
its opposition to a conference report
that sought to adjust the differences
between the two houses.
On a record vote the senate reject
ed recommendations that it recede
from its position with reference to
the word “net” in the text of the
original measure, and to the “credit
clause,” which the bill originally con
tained.
Although a two • thirds vote was
required to accept either of the forty
going proposals of the conference
committee, the vote on one Indicated
a bare majority of one, and on the
other there was a tie. In both in
stances approval of the conference
report by a two-thirds vote fell thir
teen votes short of the required num
ber.
The report of the conference com
mittee was read in the house just
before the noon recess, and Speaker
Neill announced that he would call
the report up for a vote later, stating
that authority to set the .time had
been given him in a report of the
rules committee previously adopted by
the house, and he was havipg the con
ference committee’s report read mere
ly for the purpose of giving the mem-
members an opportunity to think over
the report
The conference report to which the
senate baa disagreed contains four
recommendations, as follows:
1. That the senate accept the house
amendment striking the word “net”
from the original bllL
I. That the senate aeoept the house
.amendment striking the so-called
“credit clause” from the measure.
. 8. That the house recede from its
amendment striking the scale of ex
emptions provided in the original bill.
4. That the text of the original bill
be amended by reducing the ad valo
rem tax rate from three mills to two
mills.
The Benate rejected the fourth
proposition also after a significant
remark by President Carswell to the
effect that under the rules the rec
ommendation had no place in the
conference report, since it involved
a matter not in dispute between the
two houses. He said, however, he had
no disposition to deny the senate an
opportunity to express Itself and
would, therefore, submit the recom
mendation. It was defeated by a vote
33 to 8,
Tag senate accepted by unanimous
consent the one recommendation of
the report in which the house receded
from its amendment respecting ex
emptions.
