/ TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TAX REFORM Miller-Anderson MeasureCreating Office of State Assessor Ex pected to Pass Monday. The Senate Finance Committee will take the firing: line Friday In an effort to have the upper House pass n tax equalization bill revolutionizing the present State taxing methods. The bill, drawn by Chairman Miller and President Anderson, has been agreed upon by the Finance Commit tee aad will be reported upon favor ably Friday morning, and probably will be passed not later than Mon day. The bill provides for a State Tax Assessor to be appointed by the Gov ernor for a term of six years, who shall determine If the counties are returning a Just amount of taxable property. He will have all the powers outlined for the proposed State Tax Commission. Should the State Tax Assessor and the county boards fail to agree the bill provides that a hearing may be held before an arbitration board of firee members, one to be appointed by the County Board, one by the State Tax Assessor and the third by the Governor. The county boards are to consist of three members. County Treasurers Hit. Wednesday afternoon two impor tant bills were passed: the first by Senator Stark providing for the per manent registration of voters, and the other by Senator Watts, giving to counties the option to abolish the office of County Treasurer. The bill providing for the appoint ment of a special Commission to dis pose of the present Governor’s man sion was defeated by the close vote of 21 to 19 after a heated debate. Senator McNeill declared the bill gave too much power to the commis sion, as $500,000 of the State’s mon^y was Involved. Senator Harrell de clared that a lobby of land dealers favoring the bill had existed a long time. New Registration Bill Passes. Senator Stark’s permanent regis tration bill was passed after a vigor ous fight by Senator Harrell who de clared the measure would tear down the registration laws which keep the negro from voting. In reply Senator Miller assured the Senate that there were sufficient pro visions in the bill to eliminate the negro vote just as it is eliminated now. Senator Burtz’s amendment, which was passed, provides that the voter shall be entitled to permanent registration unless registered under the provisions of subsections 1 and 2 of paragraph 4, section of the Code of 1910. • These clauses qualify for voting the Civil War and the Indian war. the Civil War and the Indian Wars, and all persons legally descended from these.
