The bill provide* for Inspection of all Illuminating oil* produced, eold or used In the elate. Oil uaed by the rail- road* la not Inspected now, because the roads Insist that It la none of the state's business about their oil. They contend Ihnt the oil la Inspect ed In another state before tha trains come Into Georgia, and that another Inspection I* not necessary. . Officials of the department of agri culture, under which the oil Inspection 1a conducted, think It makea for public safety to Inspect the oil used by the gin. This feature of the I proh ibit the proposition to raise the anil arv of the state oil Inspector from * 1.UOO to II,(00 will have opposition. I)r. W. C. Bryan now holda that place. Hih duties are not arduous, nhd very little of his time la required In the work. Already aome members are say- Ing that the job Is n sinecure, and thnt 11,200 la more than enough pay. Senator Peyton Introduced a bill Fri day to Increase the salaries of the com missioner of agriculture, the rninmla- eloner of pensions and the state school commissioner from 12,000 to 13,000 per annum. It la the policy of the times to pay public officials what they are worth, and these Increases will hanlly tneat with serious opposition.

The resolution provides for the col lection of back taxes from the Georgia Railroad and Hanking Company and its IvisSees. In the bill all previous grants are declared void and null, and It Is the purpose of the act to make the railroads pay a tax on their sur plus to ev?ry county and municipality, Including school districts through which they may pass. The bill Is aa follows: Be It resolved by the general assembly of Georgia, and It Is hereby so resolved and declared. That the right of taxation is a sovereign right, Inalienable, inde structible, In ,th^ life of the state, and rightfully belongs to the people In nil Ite publican governments, ana neither the gen ersl assembly nor any nor all other de pertinents of the government have, ot ever have had the authority to irrevocably give, grant, limit or restrain this tight: sod all laws, grants, contracts, and all other acts whatsoever, by said government or any department thereof, to effect nny of these purposes, no matter when mnde or upon what consideration, are hereby declared to be null and void for every purpose whatsoever? and aald right of taxation la now, nud of right has ever been, under the complete control of the state, notwithstanding any gift, grant, or contract whatsoever by the general assem- bly. Be It farther resolved and the general assembly. That th of these truths In the constitution I I crested no new principle of law, but was merely a restatement of fundamental trntbs that always existed, and that li; the nature of things it never conld bav« l»een otherwise, unless the general asacin lily bad the power to abdicate the duties of government and commit the stats to ftl Be C llTfurther resolved, Thnt any dictum which may ever at any time hove been pronounced by the authority of tin* fed eral Judiciary to the contrary of these truths, was an erroneous ruling for which It baa Itself expressly Indicated Its re gret, aa well as ny necessary Implication, and from which It ought to recede In the Interest of substantial Justice nud for- the advancement of truth. Be It further resolved. That Insofar as the Judiciary of this state acted npou any contrary theory In the case of The State of Georgia vs. J he Georgia ltaUnsid and Banking Company In the year 187». It did so merely In submission to superior power, nnd with nn express protest against the Impropriety *>f such theory, nnd sgaln In the venr ift79 declared thnt such contrary doctrine would seem strange to posterity, however much It might be compulsory on the courts of this generation to accept Be It further resolved. Thnt while the geueral assembly will, lu the same spirit of protest, submit to such erroneous In terpretation of the law ns far, sad only as fur, ss It Is compelled to do It, It now renews for the legislative department of the government of Georgia the declaration rontalued In the first of these resolutions, and declares that it Is the, duty of the executive to use every vestige of |»ower remaining In It for requiring nil persona, whether corporate or natural, to contrib ute their share to the burdens of govern incut mimiii the basis of exnct equality. And this Is more especially true now, since our own Judlclul department hos declared during the present .year, and upon the motion of the Georgia Railroad uud Banking Company Itself, that n Jmlgraent as to taxes Is a conclusive adjudication utilv ss to the taxes of the year Involved. Be it farther resolved. That even tinder the authority of the decisions referred to. It is the duty of the executive to collect taxes from the Georgia Railroad and Bank ing Company npou all the surplus value of Its property urrr and above the fare value of ao much or the atork thereof aa ivna Intended b* the rharter of antd company, ami that Inasmuch aa the sworn dorian- Ilona, of the prealdenl of aald company, now of file In the office of the comptroller ifcnernl, aver thnt the physical pronertlea of aald company have n valuation of eight nillllotni of drllara. It la the doty of aald comiimiy to pity a tax at least on aald aiirplua to every connty unit municipality, luefuillin: action! district*. . . And the general assembly doea hereby declare. That even If aneh charter oxetiip- Ilona are or over were hlndlng on the state, that by 'he terms of said alleged, exemption II applied to the stock as aneh alone! and not to the phyaleal properties ami franchises of aald company or any part thereof: that la the year 1*31 the general niaemhlv granted to the Augusta ami Katonton ltullrond nud Tnriiiilke T om pane ua exemption .from taxation for a limited period of ten year* npou "the stock milt the resl esiste which way be purchased lie them connected with and subservient to the work therein ««»■»«• lied:" thnt thereafter, lu the year ISO. the general Hiwcinblv repealed the charter of the Augusta mid Katnutou Itallniail and twelve seminary boys and girls. The costuming and scenic effects of this act are said to be splendid. Others announced on the menu of good things are Gertrud* lloffman. with Iter alx seminary girls; Tony Hart, who has a monologue that fair ly seta the audience into hysterics; the German dialect comedians, the Otto brothers; the dntnty dancers and singers, the Twin Slaters Dolly, whose rcmnrkable resemblance baffles the au diences every night, and the musical satire from the pen of Max Hoffman, entitled "Ex-erybody Work* But Fath er."

Taken as a whole, next week's at traction looks very, very good, and lo cal theatergoers have evident reason to congratulate themselves on the pleaa- ure In store during the coming week at the t'aslno.
