OCCUPATION TAX
PASSED BY HOUSE
Continued from Pag* One.
street railway company doing business
In this state, the tax to be paid monthly
the 10th of each month and to ’be ac
companled by a sworn statement of
an officer of the company as to the
amount of the gross receipts.
The amendment differed from the
Candler amendment, defeated Thurs
day afternoon, In that It placed an
occupation tax of 1 per -cent on rail
way companies only.
Mr. Alexander spoke five minutes In
support of his amendment.
He declared that the amount of the
gross receipts of the railroad com
panies of Georgia Justified the tax and
that the tax was demanded In order
to pay the school teachers of the state.
Mr. Adams, of Chatham, opposed
the amendment.
'•There are 10,000 school teachers In
Georgia waiting for their money," said
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, "and we beg you
for their sake to Inaugurate this great
policy of an Income tax. Those who
favor this measure call us a set of dem
agogues and declare that we are
endeavoring to rob the railroads, but
I tell you that not one single measure
detrimental to the Interests of the rail,
roods of Georgia has passed this as
sembly at this session.
"It was claimed yesterday that the
passage of the Candler amendment
would throttle your smaller Industries.
.Vow we have eliminated these and we
ask you In the name of justice and
Ight to adopt this amendment.”
Candler Supports It.
cusslon began, trying to Influence
members to vote against this occupa
tion tax, and I saw them here this
morning trying to do the same thing.
"I have raised my voice the last time
on this question, but I tell you now,
that whenever I get a chance to strike
a blow at these corporations I am going
to do It."
Mr. Wise, of Fayette, opposed the
amendment. He declared that not a
railroad company In Georgia could tell
at the end of a month what its receipts
had been for that month.
Mr. Tyson, of EmanudI, called the
previous question, and the call was
sustained. Before the vote on the
amendmeht was taken Mr. Alexander
called for the ayes and nays and the
call was sustained.
An amendment offered by Mr. Dean,
of Floyd, providing that the levy
should only be effective for the year
1908, was defeated.
An amendment by Mr. Donalson, of
Decatur, providing that the tax should
not apply to .railroads less than two
hundred miles long, was voted down.
An amendment by Mr. Payton, of
Worth fixing the tax at one-half per
cent, was defeated.
The amendment of Mr. Alexander
was adopted by a vote of 98 to 68.
Other Sections Passed.
The house then resumed consider
ation of the general tax act and the
following sections were passed before
the hour of adjournment:
Section 11. Be It further enacted by
the authority aforesaid. That no tax
shall be assessed upon the capital of

ised under the authority of the state
or of the United States, and located
within this state, but the shares of the
stockholders of such banks, or banking
associations, whether resident or non
resident owners, shall be taxed In the
county where such banks, or banking
Candler Supports It.
Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, followed Mr.
Wright In support of the amendment.
He declared that he was In favor of
nixing all corporations alike, but added
that If he couldn’t strike all at one time associations are located, and not else-
he would strike one whenever he could. I where, at their true and full market
"If you don’t want general reform," value, at the same rate provided In
he declared, "I urn willing to take It in this act for taxation of moneyed cap-
speclflc doses. Ital in the hands of private Indlvlil-
"I have seen railroad attorneys on uals; provided, that nothing In this
section contained shall be construed to
relieve such banks or banking associ
ations from the tax on real estate held
or owned by them; that each bank, or
banking association shall pay tax on
the surplus and undivided profits when
the same are not Included In the mar
ket value of Its shares; provided fur
ther, that all property used in con
ducting or operating a branch bank
shall be returned for taxation In the
county where such branch bank may
be located; provided further, that noth
ing herein contained shall be construed
to levy tax on real or personal prop
erty held or owned by any bank or
banking association, the value of which
Is represented In the market value of
Its shares of stock, and the true Intent
and meaning of this section Is that the
bank Itself shall return for taxation
and pay the toxe* on the full market
value of all shares of said bank stock.

authority aforesaid. That the presi

receipts or net Income may be subject
according to the provisions of this act,
and the laws now In force relating to
the tax on railroads: and on failure to
make return or refusal to pay tax, said
company shall be liable to all the pen
alties now provided by law, and the
comptroller general Is hereby required,
upon failure of such companies t<

Isfactory to said officer, to proceed
against such companies as provided In

1.

the authority aforesaid. That the pres

To manufacture diphtheria anti-tox
in. to be supplied free to all who may
desire. Is now the object of the state
board of health, which will ask an ap
propriation from the general assembly
at this session.
The uee of antt-toxin In the treat

as almost the only hope, but the treat

means of many poor people. Diphthe
ria Is particularly prevalent among
children, and unlese anti-toxin can be
secured there Is little hope of saving
life.
At the meeting of the state board of
health Thursdny afternoon a resolution
was adopted asking a special appro
priation of 612.600 for manufacturing
anti-toxin and establishing a state Pas
teur Institute. The Pasteur Institute,
was authorlssd by the last assembly,
but no fundi were provided for the
work.
If the appropriation Is made, the
state health department will manu
facture the anti-toxin at the state lab.

Dr. H. F. Roy Harris, seerstary of
the board, was authorised to make a
study of milk sickness, the mysterious
disease among cattle, and he will spend
some time in the mountains of north
Georgia on this work.
